MORE FIGURES AND FACTS.

In Pearson's for April, there ap- pears an illuminative article by Allen l.. Benson on the high cost of living. As it's figures are mostly taken from official records, their accuracy cannot be impeached. We extract some facts therefrom:
 Bread made from American wheat costs one-third less in London than in New York, and American beef is 20 per cent. less in cost to the con sumer than here.
 American production of wheat in 1895 was "A bushels per capita of the entire population. The figure has since advanced until it became 8 bushels in 1908. This does not indi- cate any scarcity, or any failure of production to keep pace with the in- crease in population. And yet, in the face of increased production, the price of flour has nearly doubled.
 In 1880. there was produced in this country .54 of a beef animal per capita of the population; the aver age for three years ending with 1908 was .5s. No indication of scarcity in these figures, and even if a decrease should appear for 1909, the depart ment Of Agriculture states that owing to more rapid fattening, and the
 
 marketed. '-the production of meat is greater in proportion to- the number of live stock than formerly. And we export about S6O.00O beef cattle annually, besides great quantities of preserved meats. Yet the prices to retailers and consumers are con stantly being increased.
 The farmer doesn't benefit from such prices. Secretary Wilson states that he receives for cattle barely as much as he did g to 14 years ago. Retailers are not becoming million aires; evidently, they do not benefit by high prices. With these two eIe- ments eliminated, but one conclusion can be reached, viz, that the Beef Trust is rapidly increasing the al- ready swollen fortunes of it's mem bers.
 And the present Administration and Congress do not. seem greatly concerned-in fact, appear decidedly indifferent The Republican Con gressional committee should receive an exceptionally heavy contribution for next Falls campaign from the Beef Trust.

Last week, the Massachusetts House voted down, by 59 to 137 a constitu- tional amendment prohibiting the ma anufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors within the State. As the towns and cities already have local option on the liquor trade. the pro posed amendment was evidently in- tended to force prohibition upon To- eaiities which do not desire or have reflected it. Such moves do not strengthen the cause of prohibition

A SYRACUSE YARN.
Bernie Brady Tells Good One, and
Wonders About Edgar Darby.

Zone night recently" said Bernie
Brady the other day, "a crowd of
freshmen at Syracuse University took
about a dozen sophomores out and
plastered them from head to foot with
molasses and feathers. This caused
great indignation among the sophie
more class, as we'll as the upper class
men, when they heard of it the next
day. So that evening crowd of So
phomores captured the freshmen who
they thought had been in the esca-
pade of the night before, and took
them to a lonely place out in the
country. Here they stripped the
freshies and painted their bodies with
green and white paint. Then they
scattered them about the country, to
let them find their own way home
before daylight. Edgar Darby's
friends in Palisade are wondering if
he was mixed up in this little deal,
in which these freshest of freshmen
got theirs. And as Ed is freshman
at Syracuse, it is safe bet at 10 to 1
that he was in it, but we are pretty
sure that he will never acknowledge
it."

The Bivouac of the Dead.

The Bivouac of the Dead
The muff1ed drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few,
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And Glory guards, with solemn
round,
The bivouac of the dead
No rumor of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind;
: No troubled thought at midnight
haunts
OF loved ones left behind;
No vision of the morrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms;
No braying horn or screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with
rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed;
Their naughty banner, trailed in
dust,
Is now their martial shroud
And plenteous funeral tears have
washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms, by battle
gashed,
Are free from anguish now
The neighing troop, the flashing
blade,
The bugle's stirring blast,
The charge. the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout are past;
Nor wars wild note, nor glory's peal
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that never more shall
feel
The rapture of the fight.
Full many a norther's breast has
swept
Ger Angostura's plain,
And long the plying sky has wept
Above its moldered slain.
The ravens screams, or eagle's flight,
Or shepherds pensive lay,
Alone awakes each su1len height
That frowned on that dead fray.
Some of the Dark and Bloody
Ground,
Ye must not slumber there,
Where stranger steps and tongues re-
sound
Along the needless air
Your own proud lands heroic soil
Shall be your filter grave:
She claims from war his richest
spoil
The ashes of her brave.
Thus meath their parent turf they
rest,
Far from the CORY field
Borne to Spartan mothers breast
On many bloody shield.
The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch
by
The heroes sepulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted deadl
Dear as the blood We gave
No impious footsteps here shall
tread
The heritage of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot

The Divining Rod.

Everyone has heard of the divining
rod. Some persons believe implicitly
that by its aid one may determine
where water and mineral lie beneath
the surface of the ground The gov
eminent, however. through the geo.
logical survey, has puncturei the
superstition about the divining rod,
and has declared that 1t is a fraud and
a delusion. In a report on Under
ground Waters for Farm Use" M. L.
Fuller touches on this subject, say
ing:
mo appliance, either mechanical or
electrical, has yet been devised that
will detect water in places where
plain comomn sense will not show its
presence just as well. The uselessness
of the divining rod is indicated by the
facts that it may be worked at will
by the operator, that he fails to detect
strong water currents in tunnels and
other free courses that AFFORD no sur
face indications of water, and that his
locations in regions where water flows
in well defined channels are no more
successful than mere guesses. In fact,
its operators are successful only in
regions where ground water occurs in
a definite sheet in porous material In
such regions few failures to find water
can occur, for wells can get water
almost anywhere"
