A sTINGER IN THIS ONE

The Reciprocity act passed last summer provided for the removal, in part, of the duty on paper imported from Canada. This provision did not require sCanada's endorsement. Since then more than 80 independent paper companies have started business in opposition to the paper trust
 Notwithstanding the Reciprocity act. with the single exception of the paper provision, became dead and de- funct when Canada declined to ac- cept it. Senator Hepburn has intro duced a bill for the repeal of the whole act Were this bill to pass unamend- Cd if not only would uSeleSsly repeal an imperative act. but would put the dutv back on paper.

PROTECTION AND IMMIGRATION

High protectionists always address their appeals to farmers and working men. High tariff" they argue, means high prices for farm products and high wages for the workers.''
 Last year. 145, 900 American farmers, all of whom were. supposed to be en- toying the fruits of a high tariff, left this country and went to Canada. In the same period approximately mill lion laborers came to this country from abroad.

WORLDWIDE CAUSES
In High Tariff Countries, In crease In Cost of Living
 Greatest

Already during this session of Con- gress many of the orators among the Standpat Republicans have -ried to explain the prevailing high prices with the argument that the high price wave is worldwide This is another of the half-truths which the Republicans seek to have the people accept as a whole excuse.
 MT. R. H. Hooker, of London. read a paper before the Royal Statistical society of England recently. in which he showed that the increased cost of "all commodities was twice as much in high protection Germany. and high protection United States. as in free trade England.
 ''Comparing food prices for this year with 1839,'' said MT. Hooker, i've find there has been an increase of 1 per cent in France; per cent in Eng land; 25 per cent in Germany; 2S per cent in Canada, and 34 per cent in the United States
 Why is it that world wide causes result in an increase of 1 and s per cent in France and England and S4 per cent in this country?

ICED BEEF TEA is EXCELLENT
During Hot Weather 1t Will Be Found
More Acceptable Than the Hot
Beverage.

Where beef-tea is required on a hot
summer day it is sometimes more &C
ceptable to the invalid If served iced,
and in condensed form. Prepared as
follows it is quite palatable: Cut up
a pound of lean, juicy sirloin steak in
to pieces of about two inches square.
Grease a clean pan with butter and
put it on a fire of red-hot Goals, and
as soon as ever the pan is hot toss
the pieces OF steak in it, turning them
rapidly this way and that way with a
fork until scared on every side.
See that not drop of juice is In the
pan, and that each separate square
of beef is thoroughly heated through
before you finish your work.
Take the pieces now, one by one,
and squeeze through wooden lemon
squeezer which has been standing in
boiling water into a cold bowl. Ex-
tract all the juice from the piece, and
you will have the finest beef essence.
Set the bowl in pan filled with
cracked Ice. The GOODNESS of the beef
essence-which you serve in a tum-
bier, having added the necessary salt,
and with tiny triangle of toast-does
not affect it's qualities.

VARIOUS oAINTIEs THAT BELONG
TO THE PICNIC MENU.
Veal Loaf Always a Faithful Standby
DevIled Eggs Preferable TO Plain
Hard BolIed--Fried Potatoes
Add zest to Meal.

A veal loaf is always appetizing In
the woods. An excellent recipe Isl;
Three pounds and a half of finely
chopped veal--the leg is best--mixed
with thee well-beaten eggs, into which

spoonfuls of cream and three water
crackers rolled fine. Mix In a long

an hour in a moderate oven, basting
frequently.
Veal loaf may be sliced thin and
packed in paraffin paper in fiat box
but dries out less If taken to the pic
mic whole. Carry a sharp carving
knife, as thick slices are unappetizing.
Deviled eggs are usually more pop
ular than plain hard boiled ones. Boil
the eggs fully half an hour, throw
at once into cold water and do not
shell until chilled. Cut the eggs in
half lengthwise, run the yolk through
sieve and mix to a paste with a
salt spoon Of mustard, cayenne pep
per. salt and tablespoonful of finely
CHOPPED parsley to a dozen eggs. OIL
or melted butter can be used for mix
ing the paste.
Deviled eggs carry better If both
halves are filed, then put together
and each egg wrapped in waxed pa
per. Or they can be put in shallow
tin box, with waxed paper between the
layers. On hot days keep the box
near the ice on reaching the picnic
grounds.

quart Of meat. Season highly with

An appetizing sandwich for picnic
is made from slices Of brown bread on
which is spread mixture Of chopped
green peppers. to which Is added
can of sweet peppers or pimentos, a
little minced parsley, bound together
with highly seasoned mayonnaise.
Where a hot sandwich is liked for
picnic, have two thin slices OF
white bread buttered; spread one
with little chutney, the other with
grated Parmesan cheese. Fry an egg,
place it on the cheese, and press the
other half well over It.

Refreshing Beverages.

Any fresh fruit makes a delicious
drink when the juice, squeezed from
it, is strained, sweetened and filled
with cold soda or aerated water. Or a
syrup can be made to be kept on hand
by boiling the juice with sugar. To
make the drinks USE a few spoonfuls
of this syrup and fill the glass with
water, plain or carbonated.
The most delicious lemonade or
limeade can be had at a moments no

It is simplicity itself to pour water
over this and the drink is ready.

TRAINED SEALS WITH CIRCUS.
Ringing Bros. Present Many
New Animal Acts.

Can't. Huling's two troops of
trained seals and sealions are fea-
tured among the animal acts with
Ringing Brothers circus this season.
This feature is new to America and
is the very latest achievement in
acts of this kind. 1t is by all odds
the greatest example of brute edu-
cation the world has ever known.
Trained seal acts of the past should
not be thought of in connection with
these new ones. AS jugglers. acre
bats, gymnasts, tumblers and bal
ancers they are vastly more accomp-
shed in their performances than
any human circus actor that ever
breathed. They juggle flaming
brands with absolute exactness and
never miss; they toss balls high in
the air and catch them on their
noses; they play on musical instru
ments real old tunes that every one
in the audience can recognize. They
SKIP the rope, ride horses, discharge
firearms and play billiards There
i. only one thing they cannot do
and that is talk.
There are three herds Of the bes
trained elephants in the word, per-
forming in three rings at the same
time. Their feats are all new to the
puolic. Three companies of dog
actors perform with them. At one
time during the number these ele-
plants form q gigantic pyramid
The animal at the apex of the group
is twenty feet from the ground. He
holds his trunk as high as he can
above him. On the very tip of his
trunk sits a dog.
Another great animal act is pre-
sented by Albert Schumann's per-
forming horses. Those who are
posted know that Albert Schumann
is one of the greatest men in the
world. He is the owner of three
circus establishments in Berlin,
frankfort and Scheveningen, Ger
many. His speciality is training
horses. In that profession he has
made several million dollars. Visi-
tors who go to Europe very seldom
fai to include one of his amusement
palaces in their itinerary. In fact,
mis- great pavilions are quite as at
tractive as the Louvre or the ruins
of Rome.

OF far more importance than the
actual increase in numbers of hens
in Wisconsin is an increase in the
average number of eggs laid per hen
and also an increase in the quality Of
these eggs The number Of eggs can
be increased by more careful breeding
and by more careful attention to such
details as feeding and housing
A good market egg is ovoidal in
shape with smooth firm shell and
not overly large nor too small, weigh
ing between "a and 80 ounces to the

find some extra large eggs and some

All of these should be kept at home
for use on the table.
AS pullets Matched from eggs Of
irregular shape or size are apt to
produce eggs of the same kind, the
quality Of the output can be improved
by carefully selecting the eggs that
are to be incubated Therefore dur
Ing the spring the very best shaped
eggs should be used for incubation
1t is surprising that very little atten-
ton is paid by the average farmer
to this question OF sorting the eggs
for Matching. Another important
means Of improving the produc: is
to see that the eggs are gathered

twice a week.
