A Corner in Candles.

AS an example Of trusts and monop
allies prevalent even in that early day
it may be mentioned that in 1850 one
Benjamin Crabb obtained the exclusive
rign. to make sperm candles in Massa'
chusetts for IA years.
A year later, however, a factory was
started in Providence, r. l., and with
In the decade there were eight fac
tories in New England and n In
Philadelphia. Their output greatly re
duced the price Of candles, which not
long before sold for five shillings a
pound. In those days $1.25 was worth
fully three times as much as it is now.

FINGERS ARE LESS SKILLED
English Doctor Urges Men and Wom-
en- to Acquire Manual Skill to
Stimulate Mentality.

Lnndon.-Business men and women
should use their hands in every pos
sible way if they want to increase the
quickness and adaptability of their
brains, according to the latest idea Of
a wellknown London doctor. He
says:
Tie knots, sew, do fretwork, learn
to make some of your own clothes,
prepare and cook all your food, re-
pair your boots and shoes, dig and
plant your garden-in fact, do any
thing and everything that calls for
manual skill if you want to have an
active, resourceful and versatile brain.
"The business man whose work de-
ponds on a keen, Woodworking
brain must use his fingers constantly
if he wants to have these assets in
full. He must, speaking literally, turn
his hands to everything. and be capa-
BILE of constructing almost anything
with his fingers.
1.-The truth of this statement lies
in the fact that in every manual act
the hand is directed by the brain.
Again, every act reacts back upon
the brain, strengthening and stimu-
lating it, which is the only sure
method of keeping that organ in keen,
efficient working order.
"That u fingers are gradually be-
coming less skilled is due to the nu-
nervous mechanical appliances which
now carry out the various processes
formerly done by hand.
This state of affairs, since it stunts
the powers of the fingers, also stunts
the brain. The worker does his work
mechanically. unthinkingly, and grad
ually his brain grows torpid and i'm
paired"

AGE STAMPED ON EVERY EGG
Nebraskan Has Bill to Prevent Sale
of Bad Nest Produce-Heavy
Penalty Asked.

Omaha, Neb.-Senator Busby of
Kimball county has a bill to be intro
duced in the Nebraska legislature to
stop the marketing of bad eggs. 1t
has been passed upon by the best law
yers in Nebraska, who say that If 1t
becomes a law it's provisions can be
enforced.
The Busby bill provides for an egg
marking system, the purpose being to
keep an accurate record of their fresh.
ness. To prevent fraud, heavy penal
ties are provided for false marking in
any manner.
Two years ago an attempt was
made to pass an egg marking law,
but a majority of the Nebraska law
makers frowned upon the bill, as 1t
provided for an automatic device in
the nest where the egg was deposited,
The proposed law turns everything
over to rubber stamps and the persons
manipulating them.
The proposed pure egg law will
provide that when a farmer gathers
his eggs he shall stamp each one,
using indeIible ink that the letters
and figures thereon shall show the
date on which the egg was laid. Then
when the egg goes to market the deal
er on each egg purchased shall stamp
the date on which it came into his pos
session. No egg shall be sold within
the state, from cold storage or other
wise, thai is more than sixty days
old. Penalties are provided for sell
ing eggs that are more aged. n pen
alties are also provided for changing
the dates on an egg.

FIRST BLOOD In
The CIVIL War
(By Union Associated Press.)

Baltimore, Md, April 19.-Fifty
years ago today in this city, the first
bloodshed of the civil war resulted
from the attack of Southern sympa-
thizers upon the Sixth Regiment of
Massachusetts volunteers. Driven
frantic by the passage of Northern
troops through the city for the inva-
sion of the South. mob attacked the
regiment as it was marching through
Pratt street. The soldiers returned
the fire and three men were killed and
several wounded. The affair aroused
both North and South to the highest
pitch of excitement, and when the
news reached Louisiana it led James
R. Randall, native of Baltimore, but
then a professor in Poydras College,
to write the inspired Southern war
song, Maryland, My Maryland.

lists little demand, and this fact con-
stitutes one of the serious problems of
management of the national forest.
In order to have forests produce tim
Der steadily they must be cut. but If
there is a market only for timber from
the most valuable kinds Of trees the
result OF cutting is likely to be the dis
appearance Of these trees ard their re-
placement in the forest growth BY
species which are not in demand Since
the pulp mills take material too small
for the lumber mills. species suitable
for paper-making can be cut to a i'm
Der diameter. and thus the balance
may be turned in favor Of the repro
duction of the more valuable kinds of
trees.
In addition to the benefit which the
public will derive from the advance
ment of forest conservation in conse-
quence of the wood pulp experiments
of the government, there is the farther
benefit of cheaper paper. which it is
believed these experiments should
make possible. The price of paper Of
the cheaper grades. including news
paper, has been advancing rapidly Of
recent years, as the supply Of spruce

now drawing large part OF their sup
