At first thought there comes to
mind only one really edible sub

it has fallen into some disrepute. The

have always been suspicious of that
which was openly unpleasant, but~re-
membering the man who had an axe

There had been very exciting day
in the lower House of Congress in the
first long session after President
Arthur succeeded General Garfield in
the presidency. The House had been
organized In committee of the whole.
An appropriation bill was under con-
sideration William Steele Holman,
of Indiana, was in his place during
the entire session. He did not leave
his seat, although he frequently rose
to interpose objections or to make
searching inquiries respecting certain
details of the appropriation bill.
Judge Holman's desk was Uttered
with papers and there were documents
innumerable on the floor by the side
of it. He seemed to be able to turn
instantly to any particular document
to which he wished to refer. He
certainly justified the appellation de-
scriptive of him and by which he was
widely known THE Great Objecter. :"
On the night of that day I called
upon Judge Holman at his lodgings.

THE PASSING OF MALARIA

At meeting of the Royal Colonial
Institute in London recently DR.. Nal
colin Watson gave an account OF his
work in the prevention of malaria in
the Federated Malay States. He
showed that pool-breeding mosque
toes could be abolished by open
drainage, that stream-breeders could
not be so abolished, but required
drainage, and that countries with no
hill-stream breeders had no hill ma
laria. He described investigations
which he had carried out in other
parts of the world where malarious
conditions more or less prevailed, In
the Duars, at the foot of the Him
alyas, and in the Jevpore hills in

HILLS STRIPPED OF FORESTS

We used to call them the everlast-
ing hills but they are being Destroy
ed. We used to thrill to the old text
which spoke of the hills whence
cometh our strength but now our
destruction cometh from them, for
we have stripped them of their forest
cover, and, if you wish to know what
comes from them. ask Dayton!
SO we spread our splendid fabric
of Improvement. We were to reforest
the hills, stop the destruction of our
heritage, stop the floods, stop the
filling up of our streams. fill the val
leys with reservoirs, develop millions
of horsepower regulate the stream
flow. make the rivers naYigable all
the year round. and save the ever
lasting hills to be the sources of our
strength in water. power, timber and
beauty.
That was seven or eight years ago.
There has been a little legislation.
There has been some money appro-
priated for getting lands for a little
fragment of this wonderful projeel.
The reservoirs have been forgotten.

that. An assistant forester has been

NEW USE FOR X-RAYS

DR.. Edwards has couple of
negatives of this sort, and. as far as
he knows, they are the first ever OBJ
tanned. In his opinion, 1t will be pos
sible to radiograph any letter written
with ink having a metal basis.
So far experiments have only been
carried out with single sheet of pa
per inside the envelope. but 1t is be-
lieved that even when the sheet is
folded in the usual way 1t will be pos
sible, by taking a Photograph stereo-
scopically, to distinguish the writing.
DIR. Hall Edwards believes that it
would not be impossible to obtain
such photographs even through an
iron covering.

that the new knowledge had given
absolute control over the malaria of
low, fiat land, and high hopes of con-
troll over, that in hill land. There
was also every hope of abolishing
malaria from rice fields. He believed
that the prevention of malaria, the
improvement in health of the agri-
culturist and the cultivation of the
land were all intimately connected
and that what helped the one would
improve the other. The enormous
commercial value of the control or
prevention of malaria in tropical
countries will be appreciated by all
familiar with conditions in these To-
calities.

Two famous actresses and a writer
do the birthday honors for December
10. They are Sadie Martinez Mrs.
Fiske and Jane Croly, better known
as Jenny June"
Sadie Martinez was born in 1861
and was noted chiefly for her exquis-
lite beauty. Mrs. Fiske, who was born
only four years later, lacks only two
years of the half century mark, but,
like most actresses who depend not on
their youth and beauty but on per-
sonality and genuine histrionic abil
ity, she Is still in her prime. She be-
gan her stage career with the name
of Minnie Madden, which she took
from her mothers family. 1t was not
until 1890, when she married the dra-
matte critic, Harrison Grey Fiske,
that she was known as Mrs. Fiske.
She made her stage debut astounding
ly early. For she was only three when
she was allowed to appear as the
Duke of York in Richard Ill" and
she showed a fondness for the stage
from the start. At an early age she
was a proficient actress. She could

parts to the roles of old women, and
she wore long dresses on the stage
many years before she wore them off
the stage. At fifteen she was actual
ly a star. At the time of her marriage
she retired from the stage for five
years, but returned in a play, Hes
ter Crewe," written for her by her
husband. BY far her greatest sue
cess was won in Becky sharp" the
famous dramatization of Thackeray's
VANITY Fair
In many ways Mrs. Fiske is one OF
the greatest actresses this country
has ever produced. Some competent
critics give her first rank She is
often compared, although never as an
imitator, with Elenore Duse.
Jane Croly, Jenny june" as she
is known as writer was born De-
cember 10. 1881. She was pioneer
newspaper woman, but she is chiefly
known as the organizer and first
president of the women's society,
"Sorosis." She was president of that
organization for ten years.

Wool Prices Under New Tariff

From the New York Times.
The Journal of Commerce publishes
a table of prices of wool before and
after the tariff. and epitomizes 1t II
these words 1.-THE reduction given In
the third column show that price
changes have taken place ranging
from l cent to TX cents pound on
CARPET woods and from 10 cents to Is
cents on fine wools." In its report
of the wool market on last Friday
the Journal of Commerce said: Price
revlsions on foreign WOODS are now
being made On Australians there mas
been a reduction of almost the fun
amount of the duty on washed WOODS,
in some instances amounting to nearly
20 cents a pound
Doubtless this is trying to home
wool growers, but it is encouraging
to wage earners and consumers or
wool goods. Here is sample report
from Worcester, Mass, leading mill
centre:
"As a result of the removal of duty
from raw wool Queensbury Mills will
at once begin operating to fullest
capacity Worcester Mills also are
preparing to do greatly increased
business. Queensbury Mills have for
some time been running one-tn1rd TO
one-half capacity. John Legg, of
Worcester Mills, said that free raw
wool will mean boom in business at
the mills, with every machine work
ing.
When those goods are pressing Tor
sale it will be seen whether the for
eign makers are able to absorb the
tariff reductions. 1t is sure that they
are abandoning hope Of that kind,
for there are offerings for January
deliveries in the cotton trade at
prices which could not be made under
the old tariff. Dress goods which
could not be sold under 80 cents are
offered for future delivery at 81 cents
Many fine and fancy French cottons
can be bought now wholesale at from
3 to cents yard cheaper, although
they had been quoted higher under
the new tariff because Of alleged
dearer cotton, the real reason being
the equalization of duties. Shirt
makers say that they can supply
better shirts than before at their
fixed price.
Whether these effects in the whole
sale trade win be passed along in
the retail trade to the ultimate con-
sumer remains to be seen. 1t is
for the consumer to at
tend to.

4 SUGGESTION

If you would enjoy the season,
> There's very certain way
You can take with little doubling
As to whether it will pay
For its source is in ones hearststrings,
And no power it can daunt:
'Tis to read the kddies letters
And then buy them what they want
For this season is the children's,
And it should be one of joy
In every class and station
To each little girl and boy;
And there can be nothing sadder
For child lovers minds to haunt
Than the thought that little children
For their Christmas joys must want.
In this world no greater pleasure
Is there any can know
Than to make the children happy,
For oneself is happy SO.
Then drive from the poor homes hresides
Spectre of barrenness gaunt:
Read the hopeful kiddes letters
And then buy them what they want.

Encouraging the Aged.

From the Indianapolis News.
A medical authority is of the opifl-
ion that the aged should receive from
the physician and from the humani :
tartan a sympathy and support that
will help and cheer them. The old
man should be induced to improve his
appearance. His sense of pride should
be stimulated. Those around him
should, without too great departure
from actual truth, tell him how
young he looks An effort should be
made to keep his mind pleasantly
employed The tonic effect of To-
cal happening, which engages the at
tention of the community, on the
aged who are reused to a stronger in
terest in current affairs is often quite
salutary. They thus have something
to think about, to talk about They
are taken away from the past and
again are in the living present. The
aged woman rarely becomes as
gloomy and depressed as the old man.
She has a place in the activities OF the
household which can never be a part
of a mans life. When through age
mans occupation is gone 1t is diff
cult for him to adjust himself to the
idleness that follows and to make
that leisure a source of happiness
rather than of unavailing regret.
