A HUGH FARCE.

Nobody expected that the Michi-
gan editor would prove that his
statements regarding former Presi-
dent Roosevelt were true. Roosevelt
has been long enough in the public
eye to be pretty well-known and un-
derStood, even to his habits and mode
of life. That he is no inveterate
drinker, and that he does not use
liquor to excess is proven by his man
ner of life. No one but a practical
abstainer could boast the constitu-
tion that he possesses, and no man
whose system is stepped in alcohol
could go on year after year in the
strenuosity which characterizes the
sage of Oyster Bay without a break
down. That part of it is well un-
stood. But ii was the means that
Roosevelt employed in bringing his
libel suit, that grew distasteful to
many. While it was distinctively
Rooseveltian, it was nevertheless un-
called for. Nobody believed the
statements of the Michigan editor
nor gave them a second thought eX-
cept the distinguished subject of the
abuse. He should have been above
it, He should have remembered his
position and. like the man in the
story, when the donkey kicked him.
he should have considered the
source. The spectacle of one who
admits himself to be 1.-the foremost
citizen of the United States prose
cutting a libel suit based on a charge
of drunkenness, is not inspiring. and
the public parading of how to mix
Il mint iulep or a gin rickey, accord /.
ing to the recipe of a former preSi- .
dent of the United States isn't ex-
lctly calculated to excite our pride .
nor add fame to the illuStriouS brow
pf our strenuous American citizen.
But Roosevelt couldn't resist the
opportunity 10 figure again on the

The life of the average United
States senator and his official con-
duet hereafter is bound to be some
what different than under the old
ways of doing things. Thirty-two
senators will be elected by popular
vote next year and individual rec
ords will be scanned more closely
than heretofore. Succeeding ones
self as United States senator when
the only requirement was to secure
a majority of the state legislature,
will be somewhat different than 60
ing out in the byways and garnering
the votes. The calm and dignified
United States senator has, it seems,
degenerated into an ordinary con-
gresham.

An Enulish AnolonN.

Shortly after Richard Croker estab-
lished his home in Ireland an English
periodical stated that he had made his
first step in the world knocking out his
gymnastic instructor in flercely
fought three round battle. This story
greatly insulted the eX-boss. who has
grown so respectable that he shudders
at the thought of a prizefght. He
wrote and demanded an apology.
whereupon the English editor apollo
gized profusrly, stating that "Mr, Gro
ker has so many other and higher
claims to celebrity" etc
1t is possible that the Englishman
was indulging his sense of humor?-

IN the Alps.

Haymaking in the Swiss Abs
is pursued under peculiar diff
culties and dangers. The thrifty
Swiss farmer turns every bit of
ground to advantage. If a few
square yards can anywhere be
made or reclaimed, the labor is
not grudged. The farmer makes
the very soil, says writer in the
New York Sun. He builds ter
races along steep inclines, lines
them with blocks of stone, and
then packs earth upon them.
Along the very edge of preci-
pices the Swiss haymaker goes
in search of grass, clinging to
the rocks with iron clamps upon
his feet. He hangs on the sides
of the cliff and mows down a few
tufts of grass on craggy shelves
here and there
During the two months of hay
harvest, he descends to the vii
lage only three or four times to
renew his supply of food, and
many times he has to seek a bed
and pass the night under some
projecting rock. Once dried, the
HAY is carefully gathered into a
lclnth or net and carried down to
the first little meadow. Here it
| is stacked and weighted down
with large stones, to keep it from
blowing away.

Quinile.

Thirty years ago the principal
supply of quinine came from the
western coast of South America,
although a small amount was OBJ
tanned from India and Ceylon.
The average quinine contents of
the cinchona bark is from two to
three per cent. Better methods
of handling the bark, however,
have resulted in recent years IF
yields of from 5.5 to II per cent.
In Amsterdam monthly sales of
quinine are held. Java. which
was scarcely in the market at
first, now sends from thirtyfve
to seventy tons of quinine sulph-
ate each month to the Dutch
market. These enormous in
creases in production have low
cred the price considerably. -

his constituency many good and

One way to save money is to
