Chicago, May 22.-Rec eipts of horses
here last week aggregated around 1901

week and 1.773 head year ago. There
were more generous orders here from
the east, the city demand for desirable
workers was of good volume, and in

low and medium priced farm workers
and mares was sufficient to take care
of all such animals received. The gem

maintenance Of this gain on subse-

NEW YORK.-The opinion has often
~ been expressed that some great
disaster will eventually overtake New
York and the recent dynamite explo-
sion In Jersey City lends some color
to this view. Over on the Jersey flats
between Bedloe's Island and the end
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad dock at
Greenville, and west of the Statue of
Liberty, there are stored at times in
three barges anchored there more
than 100000 pounds Of high explo-
sives. If by chance this stupendous
amount of energy should be let loose,
1t would topple New York in ruins
and cause the greatest disaster of
modern times. The loss Of life would
be appalling. Within a 2O-mile radius
of the Jersey flats where this awful
power is pent there live nearly TO-
100000 persons. The shock of the ex-
plosion would be uncomfortable. It
would set the earth trembling for
hundreds of miles in every direction,
Buffalo, Montreal, Boston and Baltt-
more would feel the ground shake un-
der their feet. Along the coast tidal
wave would rush landward and over
whelm everything until it reached the
first great barrier of the hills. Ships
at sea would be tossed to and fro by
the mighty CONFUSION.
These barges, which contain enough
explosives to blow the whole CITY to
pieces, belong to the great powder
manufacturing concerns that have

WAsH1NGTON.-One of the most
W bitter fights in the history of the
national capital for many years back
has lately been going on, and doctors
all over the United States are falling
into line for or against the proposal
that we shall have a national bureau
Of health. Mass meetings are being
called and mile-long petitions are be-
ing dumped upon the national legisla-
tors. Tons OF mail and thousands of
kilograms keep coming urging them to
vote for the conservation of human
life" Other tons of letters and innu-
nerable messages plead, demand and
entreat them to vote down what Is
characterized as doctors trust"
Hardly a town of any consequence
IN the country has failed to have mass

States to Aid in Agricultural Work

increasing the amount of their appro-
priations for the work. This years
appropriation by states aggregated
$301,780. Indiana appropriated an
average amount, $4,000. New York
led, with $4,000; Iowa was second.
with $4,000. and Wisconsin third,
with $4,000. The department points
out that to the $301,7S0 should be
added the amount used by the sew
eral states for extension work from
the farmers institute fund, of which
no separate account was kept.
From the standpoint of the federal
government, agricultural extension is
a business proposition. 1t undertakes
to do for men engaged in agriculture
what proprietors of mills and manu-
factories are striving to accomplish in
their business-the conservation of
waste, economy of effort and mate
rial, and an increase in the output
with reduced expense. 1T strives to
do with and for a man that which
manufacturer desires to have done for
his machines-improve it that it may
turn out more and better quality of
products" says Prof. John Hamilton
of the Office of experiment stations.
With the hope of encouraging the
movement, the department has just is
sued a pamphlet containing the views
of several of the men prominently en-
gagged in the work.

Mrs. Taft's Informal 5 O'Clock Tea

tea is one that a great many women
are willing to enjoy in preference to
Icing guest at the most ceremonious
fete of the White House season. To
add to the attractiveness of Mrs. Taft's
five o'clock teas there is little pos.
sibility of "crowd"-just a few guests
are received and Mrs. Taft's tact and
good humored friendliness does the
rest.
Sandwiches Of infinite variety sea-
soned just so; little cakes which are
simply one mouthful of deliciousness
accompany cup of tea which is moro
than good enough to drink. The Tafts
have been inoculated with the tea
drinking virus through their long resi-.
dence in countries where tea is really
a beverage of quality.
Over at the vice-presidential home
the weekly tea drinking takes on diff
ferent and rather more ceremonious
phase. Mrs. Sherman always RE-
ceives," that is to say, she stands at
the doorway of the drawing room and
all guests are announced, meeting as
they pass number of Mrs. Sherman's
friends, who help her make one feel at
home. Later, one is treated to a mum.

topped of with tea or chocolate and a
punch which never by any hit or miss

Kelly was successful in many of
his adventures between the Canadian
shores and the mainland in Washing

struggled several hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of contraban

years. He always worked alo ,, and,
though deserted when arrested the
