Has Stirred Them Up.

A great deal of interest has evident
ly been aroused all over the state by
the action commenced by Milwaukee
business men to secure a reduction Of
express rates in Wisconsin. The Mil
waukee papers declare that letters
from all over the state are pouring in
to the Merchants and Manufacturers
association of that city, requesting in
formation regarding this movement,
volunteering aid in the proceedings
brought before the state railroad com
mission, and inquiring if it will be
necessary for shippers in other parts Of
the state to file further complaints with
the commission in order to secure re
duced rates in their own cases, if the
commission decides that specific rates
are too high.
The popularity Of this movement for
lower express rates is thus clearly dis
closed Merchants and others have
felt for long time that they have
been imposed upon by the express com
panies, and that the latter have main
tanned rates that are excessive and
extortionate. All that was needed to
start statewide campaign in favor of
reduced express rates was to have
someone take the first step, and now
that the Milwaukee organization has
done this business interests generally
are alive to the Importance Of making
the movement successful As a matter
Of fact it is strange that the people Of
Wisconsin have stood the express com
panies eXtortions SO long and so
patiently Now that the ice has been
broken, however, there will be no rest
until the express shippers get satisfac-
ton in the shape Of lower rates, which
is an outcome that seems to be prac-
tically assured.

Shepherd Dog a Hero.

There was fire In an Allegheny

and her five puppies were In vacant

trying to look through a knot-hole at
the interesting family. To get a bet.
ter view they held lighted matches
to the knot hole, and one of the
matches fell through and fired the

the engines came. When the fire
broke out, the mother of the puppies

Black Death Centuries AGO.

In what spirit did the superstitious
people of the Middle Dark Ages meet
the Great Plague when it came like
a black thunder cloud over Europe
Many, many committed suicide in the
first frenzies of fear. Merchants and
the rich, seeking to divert the wrath
of heaven, carried their treasures td
the churches and the monasteries,
where often the monks, fearing to re-
ceive the infection with them, shut
their gates against any such offering
Then it was in mad desperation heav'
ed over the walls and forced on the
monks; thus the panic-stricken hoped
to have monks save life and soul.
Even sound, well men, consumed and
corroded by fear and anxiety, wan
dered wan and livid as the rottine
dead. Houses were Stunned and
nodded and tumbled, for the plague
lasted for years. Many villages and
towns were actually deserts of houses
empty. silent as woods and fields, OF
"antres vast!" This is speaking Of the
Black Death that began in England
in 134S.

Asked what sight represented to his
mind the extreme of desolation, the
man who was a renting agent said:
IAN unfinished card game with the
cards lying just where the players left
them. This morning ] came across an
interrupted game of hearts In fur
nished fiat that was vacated suddenly.
The tenants simply packed their
clothes and moved out without
a word of explanation to anybody, and
as they didn't owe me cent it wasn't
my place to run them down. In fact, l
wouldn't have thought much about
their sudden departure if ] hadn't seen
those cards. They had been playing
on a dining room table and the game
was about half finished. Four hands
of the cards thrown down when the
game was anybody's that knew how
to turn trick works on the magma
ton. Why did they stop playing in
such a hurry? Why didn't they stay to
finish the game, or IL they couldn't do
that, why didn't they scrape the cards
together and take them along? In
teresting questions those, and I'd like
to have them answered"

PRESERVING OF MANUSCRIPTS
Silk of Extreme Thinness and Trans
parency Settles Question OF Life
of Old Documents.

The original manuscripts OF old
books and old records are exceeding
ly valuable and are preserved with
great care, for II destroyed of course
they cannot be replaced. They can
be guarded from fire and from over
much handling, and now an additional
safeguard has been found in Japanese
silk.
It's use has removed fear existing
in the minds of librarians that there
was no way out of 1t, and that the rare
old manuscripts would simply have
to have their day. and then dry up
and return to their original elements
Happily the use of a silk of extreme
thinness and transparency has settled
the question of the life of these man
uscripts for the next two or three
hundred years at least. BY that time
some other method may be discovered
This silk is thinner than the thlnnest
tissue paper, the threads being inner
than spider webs. 1t is pasted over
the manuscript so firmly that 1t keeps
off all dust and air, and yet Is so
transparent that 1t does not interfere
any more with the appearance OF the
manuscript than would any ordinary
plate of glass. 1t strengthens the
manuscript so that the danger or
handling is reduced to a minimum.
The Library of Congress is now en-
gagged In examining and protecting
all of its old manuscripts with this
silk, and while 1t is an immense task
Is will probably be completed before
long. This silk is by no means costly,
and unless person is somewhat ex-
pert in the matter of old manuscripts
he would be unable to recognize the
fact that silk had been used.

cause of the injury is often obscure.
On the trunk the presence of the lice
sometimes results In the roughening
of the bark or a granulated condition
which. is particularly noticeable about
the collar and at the forks of branches
or on the fresh growth around the
scars caused by pruning, which latter
is a favorite location On the wa
ter shoots, they collect particularly
in the axis of the leaves, often event
ually causing them to fall, and on
the tender greener side of the stems.
The damage above ground, though
commonly insignificant, is useful as
an indication of the probable exist
ence of the lice on the roots. A
badly attacked tree assumes n sick
ly appearance and does not make sat
isfactory growth and the leaves be-
come dull and yellowish, and even If
not killed outright 1t is so weakened
that 1t becomes especially subject to
the attacks of borers and other in
sect enemies.
