into the boat, In which the whole mar
ty embarked and was rowed away
from the island. His first touch with
the world had separated him from
the woman he loved and who loved
him. Nay, his own frightful folly, his
own blindness, his own criminal and
heartless decision had done that. And
the world upon which humanity loves
to load the blame of It's transgres-
sions, and with which 1t would fain
share the consequences of its own
follies, had nothing whatever to do
with 1t. In fact, 1t was because he
was SO ignorant of the world, so utter
ly unable to see things in their rela-
tive values-and in relation we ascer-
tain truth-that he had taken the
tone that he had used and entered
upon the course which he had fol-
lowed
He could only see one thing, that
this woman who he supposed belonged
SO completely and entirely and abso-
lutely to him, who was as fresh and
unspotted from the world as he was,
who had been his own as he had be-
longed entirely and utterly and abso-
lutely to her, was different! That
the difference was more in his own
imagination than anywhere else
brought him no comfort. He still
loved her, he still wanted to marry
her, but he loved her in spite of her
shame. A greater, wiser man would
have loved her because of it. And
some day this fact which he himself
was inherently large enough to realize,
or would be after time, would cause
him a grief so great that the, anguish
that he suffered now would be moth
ing.
Whitaker was man Of great tact
and shrewdness and one with wide
knowledge of the world. He realized
something of what was in the mans
mind. He saw IN some measure how
the proposition presented itself to him
and he felt deep kindness and pity
toward his unhappy fellow passenger.

Where whitewa.h Fails.

The United States Senate has under
taken to prove that the sudden and
abnormal increase in the cost of liv-
ing has other causes than the Aldrich-
Taft tariff law.
1t does not matter whether Senator
Elkins, the near-insurgent. or any one
of the standpat Senators guides the
investigating committee. The end of
the investigation is fore-ordained from
its beginning. The Senate will find
plenty of scapegoats.
There is gold, for instance, 1t will
be easy to claim, from the quoted au-
thority of old-school political econo-
mists, that the rapid increase in the
worlds production of gold is respon-
sible for high prices. Becoming more
plentiful. the purchasing power Of a
gold dollar becomes less, and SO on.
American consumers would like to
know why the purchasing power of
wages and earnings took another sud
den drop as soon as the Aldrich-Taft
tariff law went into force. You can
not convince the average middle-class
consumer that the worlds supply Of
gold had anything to do with it. Es-
pecially so. when the dividends of rob.

ton manufacturers, are higher under
the new law than ever before.

Alcohol a. Fuel.


"Denatured alcohol as a means of
producing energy for locomotive or
stationary engines, Notwithstanding
many and varied experiments by ex-
perts, still is in Its infancy" says DR..
Harris E. Sawyer of the Agricultural
Department. DR.. Sawyer has made an
exhaustive study of the subject, but
he admitted that he could not prophesy
as to the future OF denatured alcohol,
a much-heralded fuel for motor power.
"In Cuba" Dr. Sawyer continued,
'they have, been using 1t for several
years as a means of generating power,
but recently the price of molasses,
from which they distill the alcohol,
has advanced in cost to such an ex-
tent as to make the new fuel prohib-
tive. AT the present cost 1t will be
cheaper for the Cubans to use gaso-
line or coal"
At present the product retails from
80 cents to As cents, according to the
avarice of the manufacturer. We sold
quantity last week for 80 cents a
gallon, which makes 1t about two and
a half times as expensive as gasoline.
While the first engine using dena-
tured alcohol was made nearly twen-
ty years ago in Europe, there has re-
suited continual development of the
alcohol moter. interest in which was
kept up by exhibitions in which prizes
were offered by the scientific societies.
According to DR.. Harvey w. Wiley,
chief OF the Bureau Of Chemistry, ex-
periments all along the line indicate,
so far as fuel costs are concerned, that
with motor especially constructed
for alcohol the fuel prices per gallon
might be twice as much for alcohol
as for petroleum distillate, and still
give more power for less money, as

Growing Potatoes.

In Ireland, In the best potato-grow-
ing localities, yield of 400 bushels
to the acre is nothing unusual. 1t is
obtained by the use Of about thirty
loads of barnyard manure to the acre,
supplemented by 600 pounds of com
mercial fertilizers. proportioned as fol-
lows: One hundred pounds of muri-
ate of potash and 400 pounds of super
phosphate In England the best re-
suits al obtained by the use OF TWEEN
ty-flve lads of barnyard manure to

pounds of sulphate of ammonia, $50
pounds of super-phosphate and fifty
pounds Of sulphate of potash. The
popular fertilizer for growing potatoes

pounds Of nitrate of Soda. 600 pounds
of tankage, 200 pounds of acid phos.

potash, making in all 1885 pounds.
One-half this amount is used in the

the other half at the first narrowing,
when the plants begin to appear.
Formula for Tree Wash.
A feature of the Pennsylvania Farm
ers' Week program was lecture on
concentrated lime sulphur by John p.
Stewart, assistant professor In expert
mental horticulture in state college.
He told how, through spraying with
that wash. successful fight could be
made against the San Jose scale and
other tree parasites. which are yearly
causing thousands Of dollars loss to
orchardmen.
Mr.. Stewart gave the following for
mula for preparing the wash: Put
ten gallons Of water in a kettle and
start fire. Add fifty pounds best stone
lime. not more than so per cent i'm
purities, and after Stacking is we'll
started add 100 pounds dry flowers of
sulphur and mix thoroughly, diluting
with five gallons of water to maintain
a thin paste. When the Stacking and
mixing is completed pour into the ket-
tie water to the height of fifty gallons.
Bring to boil and sulphury scum dis
appears. Then add warm water to the
sixty-f1ve-gallon height and boil again
to sixty gallons. The material should
be kept we'll stirred. The total boiling
should not vary ten minutes from an
hour. Store the finished product in
containers and cover with an eighth
of an inch of oil TO prevent scum for
nation. A good spraying dilution is
obtained by adding nine gallons of wa
ter to one gallon Of the concentrate.

!. Mr.. raft orlen,alinea,

Berlin Vorwaerts insists lat Pre- Il
dent Taft, like celebrated British ad.
ministrators who have spent years in
the far East, has imbibed the ideas of
the orient, and believes in benevolent
despotism as the ideal form of gov
eminent.
Lord Curzon and Lord Cromer, for
example, says the Vorwaerts, have lost
all idea OF popular suffrage, and re-
gard the masses of the people as ma
terial to be experimental upon. This
losing touch with democratic ideas OF
popular sovereignty is peculiar to
those who have held positions of au-
thority in the far East.
Therefore, argues the writer. the
years which Mr.. Taft spent as the des-
potic administrator of the Philippines,
where he demonstrated his ability and
achieved great results, have undoubt-
eddy untitled him to conduct public of.
fee as 1t would be conducted by a
statesman elected to represent the
wishes of constituency.
1t is true that the Taft corporation
tax plan, the Taft central bank plan,
the Taft postal savings pan are all d.
rected toward concentration of au-
thority at Washington. And the $780,.
100000 Panama canal job is to be put
entirely into Mr. Taft's hands.
Are all these things signs that the
President is orientalized?
At least the suggestion is interest
ing purely in its scientific aspect, IL for
no other reason.
The evident desire of the national
administration to exercise many func.
lions that trespass on State rights and
the tendency to substitute executive
for legislative power are unfortunate.

curbed.
