BEAUTY VERSUS USE.

RiERO could enjoy the spec
tacle Of Rome burning. Chill
dren and fools naively would
delight in conflagration that
would consume for spectacular pur-
poses a million tons of coal a week.
We let the equivalent waste in
horsepower 60 on at Niagara and
hear it called saving beauty for the
people.

CARING FOR ANIMALS.
n s A PEOPLE we are somewhat
short siphta1

AS A PEOPLE we are somewhat
shortsighted.
There has just been a capital
example Of this.
John D. Rockefeller has given an
other million dollars for the study
of diseases in animals.
Now, we don It particularly admire
Mr.. Rockefeller as a man but that
is no cause for the flippant and
even bitter comment his action has
aroused.
Critics profess to see more reason
for the million in other quarters
They say that human diseases
should be eliminated before the ills
Of the lower creatures are taken into
consideration.
Anything that Mr.. Rockefeller
does is, Of course, = fair mark for
those who are not enamored Of him
or impressed with his munificenoa
Our inallenable right to KICK az
all times is granted without argu-
ment.
But it would seem that in the con-
sideraton of this particular dona-
ton . certain amount Of intellk
gence might be manifested.
Many people incorrectly assume
that lavish governmental and. state
appropriations for the prevention
Of disease among animals are based
on pity for the animals
OF course, the practical farmer
knows this Ii rubbish.
By being careful over our animals
We are acting purely selfishly.
Mr.. Rockefeller Is not bowed with
grief over the sufferings of the hog
with cholera.

LUMBER CONDITIONS
 BAD, SAYS LABORER

Seattle, Wash. August 12.-Iumber workers suffer from worse conditions than any other class of laborers in America. J. G. Brown. president of the international Union of Timber Work CTS, testified today before the federal industrial committee.
 Wages are low, hours are long and the work hard he said. The men are victimized by employment agencies to the last degree one mill near Gray's s Harbor has standing order with. em- p1oyment agencies in several cities for labor. Men constantly are going to the
 camp and as fast as they arrive other
 men are discharged and the new one put to work.
 "Ordinary laborers are paid about S26 month and board. If they are married and board themselves they are allowed s10 a month for board. But when a single man is i'll or otherwise inca pacitated for work he is charged $20 month for board.
 "When penniless men are sent out on jobs their baggage is held for their transportation and fee. When they Efinally earn enough to recover tneIr baggage they can change thier cloth ing.
 The high class labor employed in the shingle and lumber mills is treat ed better, Mir. Brown said. The $3.50 Is paid for 10 hours work

Maids in Uniforms to Match

American women are awake to the pie torial value the housemaid has in the set ing of everyday life of tile house and at special functions, says an exchange. The latest idea is that to make the picture quite complete the housemaid's dress should harmonize in color with the scheme of furnishing in the rooms in which she plays her important part.
 One young housekeeper has uniformed her maids in soft green English cash mere and cream white linen, to match her country place. which is successfully done in green and gold throughout.
 Another woman has summer estap- lishment with blue and buff color scheme. Her maids have a becoming out fit. The morning dresses are of French chambray in a champagne color, while the afternoon livery is of plain. soft blue cashmere made on severe lines, with a high tailored collar with the sheer linen turnover and cuffs matching the dainty aprons
 Though the color invasion has Its arr dent followers. black for afternoon ana dinner service in conservative homes will remain popular. Many hostesses allow
  by wearing white, pink or blue linen or chambray.
 The apron Is very important accessory in the maids uniform. The tub dresses of the morning demand hemstitched white linen apron, the bib being carefully and trimly fitted to the figure. The collar and cuffs naturally match the material of the apron.
 With the afternoon dress worn also in the evening the apron is of a soft dotted or plain Swiss, or net. This dress does not demand a cap.
 As the washing of these tub dresses Is expensive many housekeepers have their maids day dresses made of a softer ma terial, easy to wash thus making 1t pos sible for the servants to do the wash ing themselves. Some women, on the other hand, prefer their maids to wear white wash dresses all day and the entire season through.
 And again there are establishments in which white brilIiantine is used for the morning and black for the afternoon and evening.

FLOUR QUOTATIONS CONTINUE ID RISE Sales Are Heavy Despite Prices-Meat and Pro-
 duce Active

The dealers along Morris avenue report continued activity in the meat and pro- duce markets. Sales are heavy and prices show a strong tendency 70 advance.
 There was another rise in flour prices yesterday. Tennessee flour is now quoted at s5.30 per barrel at the close last night, am advance of 25c, while Michigan flour was selling at $6.40, showing an increase of be over the quotation of the previous day. Since the war nour has risen at least 10 per cent. In view of the record breaking wheat crops of this year, this advance can be described as little less than phenomenal. Flour dealers and consumers throughout the country were anticipating slump in prices, but when the war cloud arose and the wheat quota- tions began to soar many dealers were caught short and consumers felt a keen sense of disappointment.

Despite Comparative Firm. ness at Close Net Decline
 of 3-4 to 7-8c Shown

Chicago, August 2.-Notwithstand- ing efforts by the English, French and Dutch governments to cause a renewal of exports from the United States, the trade here remained skeptical that either the financial or military per cuisites were hand. Prices for wheat recovered only in part from break of 21ac. Despite comparative firmness at the close, the market showed net de- cline of a4 O 7sc. Corn finished 1@11sc c above last night: oats up 3s e Ac, and provisions at an advance of . O 30c
 It was a choppy. unsettled trade in wheat throughout the session, with the set. Longs in general sold on every swell and shorts tried to buy back on every break. Wheat stocks in the United States and Canada increased 6,13S,000 bushels, while wheat afloat and in Europe decreased 6,S00,000 for the week.
 Corn touched new high prices for the season. Rains in the southwest were said to have been too late, and avail able stocks were only about half the total at the corresponding time year ago. Advices that the British author ities had obtained all the oats possible in Canada gave the oats market mod crate lift.
 Provisions rallied sharply, due to lower prices for hogs.

Famous Names
By HOP

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
 Among the many singular tales that
 have been published respecting the or-
 igln of the name of Bonaparte, there is
 one of very Ingenious and romantic
 character.
 1t is said that the Man In the Iron
 Mask was the twin (and elderl broth CT of Louis X1N; that his keepers name was Bonpart. that the keeper had a daughter. with whom the Man in the Mask fell in love, and to whom he was privately married, that their children received their mothers name. and were secretly conveyed to Cor slca where the name was converted Into Bonaparte or Buonaparte; and that one of those children was the ancestor of Napoleon Bonaparte, who was thus entitled to be recognized not only as of French origin, but as the direct de- scendant Of the iightful heir to the throne of France.
 The Bonapartes are said to have adopted the name of Napoleon from
 Napoleon des Ursins. distinguished character in the Italian story, with one
 of whose descendants they became con- nected by marriage, and the first or the family to whom 1t was given was a brother of Joseph Bonaparte, the grandfather of Napoleon l.
 Many are the curious changes that have been made in this name for in- stance. tho word Napoleon, being writ ten in Greek characters, will form seven different words. by dropping the | first letter of each in succession, and | these words mako a complete sentence.
