At so DEGREES BELOW ZERO
How the Intense Cold OF Winter In
the Far Northwest Affects Man
and Animals.

Il asked an Alaskan pioneer who
was crossing to his old home in Swe-
den what happened when the Their
mometer goes down to so and so de-
grees below zero said Marshall J,
Taylor of Seattle, Wash. "At so de
grees below he said. the exposed
ears, hands or nose will freeze in go
ing a quarter Of a mile under ordinary
circumstances; but the children go
and come from school as usual with
out suffering from the cold provided
their faces and hands are protected.
They o get used to 1t. But eau
ton must be used to avoid drawing
the cola air into the lungs, and it is
dangerous to breathe through the
mouth. More die from pneumonia
brought on by freezing the lungs In
that way that from any other form of
exposure. Horses are protected by
breathing bags, which extend down
from the nose of the animal about
eighteen inches and are open at the
bottom. The breath which Is exhaled
warns the air in the bag before it Is
inhaled and drawn into the lungs. And
men wear a 'parky' or headdress
which extends oyer the face and af-
fords similar protection.
I'm the Canadian districts the North
west Mounted police regulate the treat
ment of horses on the freight wagons
and stage lines in a most humane
manner, SO as to prevent them from
suffering in this ~way.''-Washington

He PRAYED FOR LUCY GRAY
Bashful Young Citrate Didn't Know
Object OF solieitude Was Entry
in Steeplechase.

How to win the hearts of his con-
gregation was uneonselously solved by
an innocent young curate. Dean Hole,
in his Letters tells the following
story.
"A young eurate a good fellow, but
very shy and bashful, came into a
parish which was occupied by York
shire yeomen who bred horses and
rode them and sometimes had steeple7
ehases. He did not get on and was
very much depressed.
One day the clerk said to him: If
you please, sir, the prayers Of the
church arc desired for Lucy Gray
Very Well said the c%urate, and
at every service In which the pray
er for all sorts and conditions of men
was offered the church was asked to
pray for Lucy Gray, till n morn
ing the clerk rushed into the vestry
and said.
You needn't pray for Lucy Gray
any more; she's won the steeple-
chase
Have | been praying for a horse?'
asked the curate. I shall leave the
place
But the clerk said: You'll do
nawt of the sort. sir; | thought little
of ye when ye came, but now we've
got the hearts of them all and We
can do what ye like in the parish
since We took to praying for that
horse"

Special to the Tribune.

Washington. D. G., July I. -
Senator Pomerene has had his
fling at the trust heads, and in
the course of his argument be
fore the Senate contended that
1.-THE victories of the Court will
be lost to the Government, un-
less there are criminal prosecu-
lions Of the officials of the Stau-
dard Oil Company and the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company. The Ohio
Senator declared that the Shef-
man Antitrust Law was speci-
fic IN its authority to press such
suit against those who have oper-
ated in restraint of trade. Mr..
Pomerene thought that it was
high time that the American
people should understand whe-
Their the stars and stripes are
TO be the emblem of the pure
and free, or whether that emblem
shall be the oil barrel or the to-
bacco plant. His glittering
generalities were pleasing to his
audience, but the general inn
preston in Washington is that
his speech was not taken very
seriously. Senator Kenyon Of
Iowa, who was recently connect
ed with the Department of JUS
tiee, took up the eudgels in be
half Of Attorney General Wick
crsham, during the Pomerene
speech, aud declared that the pre-
sent head of the Department of
Justice had achieved more re
suits in his prosecution of trusts
than any of his predecessors. lie
added that Mr.. Wickersham did
not require instructions from Con
gress to do his duty. Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska injected
INTO the discussion the remark
that Attorney General Harmon
was the first to take the posi-
ton "guilt is personal
The Democratic wool revision
bill passed the House by a vote
22l to 100, and a motion to re-
commit made by the Republicans
was defeated. On the day that
the bill was passed President
Taft sent a message to the house
saying that it was impossible to
transmit certain information re-
garding the wool schedule be-
cause the Tariff Board had not
completed its labors. lie com
plimented the work Of the Tariff
Board. The bill as passed re
duees the duties on raw wool to
twenty percent from a present
average tate of forty-four per
cent. Reduction in the manufae-
lures of wool are reduced from
an average Of about ninety per
cent to an average Of about for
ty-two per cent ad yalorum. In
The final vote the Democratic
Members held their forces with
the exception of Representative
Francis of Ohio, who deserted his
party. Representative Berger, the
Milwaukee socialist, voted for the
bin as did Representative Aiken
of New York. A large number
of progressive Republicans voted
for the measure and there were
three or four who have hereto

Addressed Junior Brotherhood.

Tuesday evening in the parish house of St. Paurs Episcopal church William R. Harrington, department quarter master of the United Spanish War Veterans, delivered an address to the Junior Brotherhood of St. Andrew. The speaker took as theme his per sona1 experiences in Cuba, the Philip pines and China during the war with Spain and the insurrections incident thereto. The pathetic story of the storming of the walls of Pekin by the allied armies of the world, when the American flag was firmly planted on high. was a peculiarly significant ob- ject lesson in patriotism for the boys, but was not one whit less effective than the salient remarks on temper ance that Mr. Harrington emphasized as essential in good soldier. At the close of the talk the boys adjourned to the floor below and were shown a few points relative to the manual of arms by MT. Harrington.

The Disbursements.

The expenses were as follows: Sal aries, nurses. ianitor and help, s4,17S.- 05j accounts paid $11 ,3S5.2S; household supplies. s330.49: interest, $550; mis- .cellaneous, $162.75.
 There was 8 balance on hand of S123.S2. -
 Deducting the sum paid on the float ing indebtedness of over S4,000 from the expenses, it will be seen that the receipts exceeded the actual expenses for the year by a substantial sum and shows that if the floating debt can once be paid that the institution can with the same careful mana cement that 1t has had during the past year be main tained very successfully.
 The reports were accepted by the board and there were expressions of satisfaction at the excellent showing.
 George F. Stiles. chairman of the carnival committee, stated that while all of the billie were not in for the carnival, from what he knew he figured that the net proceeds would amount to s2.s00
 The floating debt of the hospital on Jan. l. 1910. was $1n.50144 and now it is ss,0ss.s3, and the carnival receipts will reduce this s2S00 more. which greatly adds to the financial improve ment of the institution.
