CONGRESS BACKS THEM,

The country will view with much in
send special message to Congress on
the trusts, And yet there will be mis-
givings. IT is almost impossible to I'M
agine that Congress will do anything
adverse to the interests Of the trusts.
The "trusts' and the "interests ap-
pear to be in complete dominance of
the present Congress.
The House in the special session
passed reasonably fair tariff bill, one
that met in partial, although not thor
ough, manner the Republican pledges
on "tarif revision downward The
Senate proceeded to frame bill of its
own without any regard to the House
bill. This Senate bill was entirely in
the interests OF the trusts and com
bines. That bill was passed by the
Senate after months of wrangling, a
number of Republican Senators became
what was called "insurgents. They
wanted to keep the party pledges They
wanted to relieve the public from the
expressions Of the old tariff bill which
had been outgrown. But at the de"
mand of the trusts a majority of the
Senators insisted not only on keeping
things as they were, but on materially
raising some of the tariff rates. Where
changes were made at all the revision
was usually upward. But for the most
part, the old rates were allowed to re-
main.
Under these circumstances, the send.
ing of message to Congress by Pres
idcnt Taft seems good deal like the
guileless effort Of well-meaning Off
cial who is simply deposting a roll Of
manuscript in a pouch from which it
Will never again get out. a Congress
so completely dominated by the trusts
as the present one is not in the least
likely to take seriously message from
the President that it is their duty to
attack the trusts and do something for
the relief of the people. The people

THE CHANGING BELIEFS.

CHRISTMAS DAINTIES.
How Plum Pudding Had Its Origin.
Symbolism Of Yulo Babies.

Symbolism Of Yulo Babies.
There seems little doubt that pOr-
ridge (and not pudding) was the older
and more correct designation Of this
time hOnored delicacy. The word pud.
ding was formerly used In the sense
of stufiRg Tor fOrcemeau. POrridge,
on the other hand. was used In the
sense OF our present day pudding.
When Shakespeare speaks Of ''por-
ridge after meat" he undoubtedly
means pudding after meat" And In
Sheppard's "Epigrams'' publishsd
1851 We read, No matter for plOmb
porridge or shred pies" MIR. T.. II.
Ditchtield says: The plum pudding is
not older than the early years of the
eighteenth century and appears to be
a house of Hanover or act of settle
ment' dish. The prerevolution or Stu
art preparation Of plums and other in
gradients was a porridge or pottage
and not a pudding and was made with
very strong broth of shin of beef"
Christmas plum puddings have Of
late years become the toys of fashion.
In the good old days, when the yule
log cracked In the spacious fire crate
of the rich and poor and when snow
actually fell at Christmas time, people
were well content with plain homely
plum puddings topped with dancing
spitfire. but custom has changed with
the times, and the present generation
Tor at any rate a part of it, requires
its Christmas puddings enriched with
jewelry or gold coins. This irHOva-
ton commenced about 1895. and In
the year 1899 it was quite a popular
institution. and various London firms
made plum puddings containing sur
prises from bone button to n dia-
mond ring. Diamond rings. gold Thin
bles. half sOvereigns and sovereigns
are now, it is stated, frequently placed
in plum puddings which are intended
as presents. In 1890 the demand for
Christmas puddings from all parts Of
the world was so great that one firm
of makers made $4,000 of an average
weight of seven pounds each.

some parts of giving sweetmeats Of a
special kind to children at Christmas.
These tasty morsels in the shape of a
doll-eyes, mouth and all-were made
of dough and currants. They were fiat
cakes about the size Of hand roughly
shaped in the figure of woman with
the hands crossed over the breast,
and In the crossed arms was a smaller
figure representing a child, the fea-
lures being rudely suggested by means
Of currants. There can be no doubt
that this sweetmeat, which was made
and given to children only at Christ
mas, represented the Blessed Virgin
Mary and the Holy Child, a practical
and pleasing way of bringing home to
the mind Of the children the central
fact and figure Of Christmastide.

USEFULNESS OF GOATS.
What Can Be Accomplished by Raisin.

What Can Be Accomplished by Raising
the Angora and Common Breeds.
The question of the value of Angora
goats is at present being discussed by
farmers and expert breeders through
out the country. The brush eating in
stinct Of the Angora is being demon
strated on the LassOn national forest
in California. This experiment may
prove valuable to the government, but
not to the farmer. AS Angora goats
are no better for sprouting land than
other goats and are more expensive, 1t
might be fully as profitable in this in
stance to purchase common goats,
which can at times be obtained for al
most song.
After the common goats have done
their work they can be put on the mar
ket again and will bring the money
paid for them.
In certain sections of the United
States the raising Of Angoras has
never been very profitable, outside Of
their brush eating prOclivities, while,

How to Prevent Eye DiscoIoration.

Often in playing child will run
against some object which will hit the
eye, and as bruise on the eye is not
only more disfiguring but more pain
full than one anywhere else on the
body. it is well to know what to do
for it. Immediately after the eye has
been struck with enough force to make
1t black, apply a cloth wrung out of
water as hot as can be stood for twen-
ty minutes, and the blood which has
collected and clotted will become thin
and pass OF to its proper channels. A
Drutse on any other part of the body
may be treated likewise.
