 So back to the discomforts and the hard life for MT. Grove. though his years be nearly three score and ten. The bill of fare in the north may have a porky sameness; there may lc a supcrnbundance of beams, a scarcity of green things and fancy dishes, hut far moro important to this veteran of strikes and starnpcdcs is the fnct that "stand-np" collars are not obligatory In the north. and a man is Il man even thought ho may have a two-day growth of beard on hls countenance.
 For thirty years MT. Grove P. expected with the hope that some tny he could settle down on ranch and enjoy life. Now he has gone back to prospecting for tho sake of pros pecting. He found out as most of us do that the joy of life is in the task and not in its completion. We pros pect through life hoping for the day when we may retire from active lab CTS to "cnjoy life" But we never find ti at mythical pleasure which we call "enjoying life"
 Perhaps it is that We are so much creatures of habit that the habit Of work grows on us until work becomes n necessary part of our being. In the flush of our toll we scoff at this notion. but the fact Is manifest all around us. There are many veterans like Mr. Grove who long to go back to their particular prospecting. to get back into the old harness which once they s,, anxious to discard. Only few of trem. however. are fortunate enough to find out what Is the trouble before ft is too late to get back to the old th.--Post- -Intelligencer.

The withdrawal by the president from public entry of large tracts of land along the probable line of rail- way construction in Alaska was n wise movement and foreshadows a policy whereby the bona fide settler of Alaska is going to be encouraged and protected against the extortion of the speculator, who Is generally the first ir the field to secure the most valua- ble townsites and adjoining lands From present indications. the people of Alaska can feel confident that the future of Alaska Is assured and that while it's development will be rapid the governmental errors of the past will not be repeated here. The gov- ernment is evidently working along fires which is taking into considera- t'c all the resources of this great country and are laying their plans ,t only for the present but for the fu- ture. The reservation of Turnagain arm, Fire island and the command ing points at the entrance and ap- proach to Turnagain arm indicates that this will be the probable terminal of the railroad and be the location of large government works.
 It has been intimated that large interests. which had secured holdings along the coast. would largely dictate the policy of the government in se- lecting the coast terminal. but the indications are that such is not the case, and that the government has already determined upon a plan which will probably make it entirely inde- pendent and frcc to act without De- ing driven to purchase the acquired holdings of the railway corporations in Alaska.

Is Wall street the barometer of business conditions In the United States? No doubt this is generally thought to be the case, yet we venture t.. question 1t. Ono of our contribu- tors has succinctly remarked that "the eastern investor is a speculator in stocks and not a buyer of mining claims" According to newspaper headlines we are informed that Wall street was hard hit by the poor trade iH 1913, and that the past year was almost a calamitous one in business circles generally. Yet on another page of the same paper we read that the years exports were tho largest in the history of the United States. and that the balance of trade in favor of this country exceeded the records of sny previous year. Incidentally we note that the importation of diamonds and other gems broke all records. the volue being about s46.00o.o00. or more ti.an half that of the total gold pro- duction of the country. The recent depression in Wall street seems to be less indicative of poor business condi- tions than of a tendency on the part Of the public to cease speculating. both In Wall street and in mining claims. and to use their money for personal adornment.-Mining and Scientific Press.

The threatned war with Mexico de- mands the whole attention of the army just now so that tbe govern ment cannot send troops upon the call Of Governor Ammons of Colorado to check the war going on between the coal miners and operators in tke Col orado coal fields. The Colorado war following swiftly upon the hill of those in West Virginia and Michigan show that a wide spread ciscontent exists among mine workers of the United Sites which is not diminish ing, but seems to be gaining in strength, is deep seated and indicates a movement which Is evolutionary in character and must he met and dealt with. not by armies but by industrial reforms which will insure to laborers fairer treatment. It is not within req . son nor common sense that thousands Of laborers would sacrifice their all. which is their daily food and neces- surics of life and go hungry. without some serious grievances would prompt them to such action. Human nature is lot constituted that way. It Is nc answer to say they are ignorant and led by designing men into striking such sacrifices are not made simply to please some individual or small he dy of designing men-euch move ments arc based upon deep seated grievances which must be corrected or tho moral sense of the nation will bc aroused by the daily atrocities which are being committed.
 Mining Is a hard. hazardous occu- patton. Coal. iron and copper is in- dispensable. The tack of removing tkese should be facilitated as much as possible in the public interest as we'll as in the interests of the thou sands who toll amid danger far under the ground.
 Arbitration has been urged by the federal department of labor as a means of ending the labor war that have for several months been raging The department has four suggestions for arbitration: 1t says these have teen accepted by representatives oi the miners but the mine owner have declined to accept, on the ground thcy would not deal with miners or genixation. While the government cfyicials made three attempts to medi- tats in tho Michigan strike and the governor was spurned in his efforts tc bring peace. equally unsuccessful erorts have been made in tho big strike in Colorado.

needed instruction if we are to teach correctly.
 There are over 400 negro teachers here from almost every southern and central state"
 This indicates that the southern ne- gro realizes that the time has come when efficiency should be required in sne serylce or the home. Nobody ob 1ects to training to ther own methods if the servant will stay long enough to repay for the pains, but this habit of changing after every pay day is too prevalent to be tolerated.
 There are many good negroes in this city who would be glad to cooperate with the housekeepers in some plan to give them better service and at the same time solve problem that has be- come a detriment to them.
 In the negro schools as well a~ white cooking and sewing are being taught and this will in time remedy the evil. but in the meantime what are we go- ing to do to protect ourselves against this prey of inefficiency and dishon- esty? If our sister city can find eff ficiency in organization we believe others can too, and by this method help both ways.

 Sometime later a very genteel look ing young woman came for the same purpose and frankly said; T never cooked any in my life. I have work ed the field and done all kinds of farm work. but I would like to learn to cook" Her time was engaged and she is learning to cook, it is pleasant to see how anxious she is to do her best.

THOROUGHBREDs IN POLO
Western Cow Ponies No Longer in
 Common Use

There has been an interesting change in the last ten years, according to horse men, in the class of ponies used in Ameri- ca in the game of polo. says the New York Times. When the game was first getting a foothold In this country the ponies principally In use were the small, rugged western COW ponies, which had the stamina and hardihood which made them particularly adaptable to the game. As the game has developed more and more on this side of the water, however. the thoroughbred horse often with racing pedigree, has become more and more com mon in the game. In many cases the thoroughbred and the COW pony strain have been crossed producing a pony that possesses not only the hardihood and stamina of the COW pony but also the speed and appearance of the thorough bred. This combination of COW pony and thoroughbred is now considered the real polo pony.
 In the early days the polo players often bought their mounts in lots of 20 and 50 in the west, getting the pick of the cow ponies for from $100 to $2o0 apiece, and often for much less Nowadays even the averaged trained polo pony costs about $700. and the betteS ones, such as are used by the American team in the information al matches, are valued at anything from S1000 to $5000 apiece. Harry Payne Whit ney of the champion American team is said to value his string of polo ponies at at least $75,000
 American polo players have more and more come to realize that the pony and his training are very nearly 50 per cent of the game. The frst-class ponies are so well trained that they follow the ball without any guidance from the rider and the greater part of the time may be trust ed to do the right thing with but the slightest assistance from the player who Is thus able to give practically all his ef- fort to his own particular part of the game.
 The crossing of the thoroughbred and COW pony has produced an entirely new strain. The horse so produced which is the real polo pony, is trine larger than the ordinary COW pony, and a trifie small CT than the average racer. It Is rugged and hardy, like the COW pony, but speedy and symmetrical, like the thoroughbred. Some breeders. particularly in Texas and Kentucky. are devoting particular atten- tion to the breeding of this style of horse.
 Apparently the COW pony strain in the polo mounts has had q reflex action on the style of American players. who have adopted to a large extent the reckless, cowpuncher style of riding.

REFRIGERATION OF MEATS
British Health Officers Discuss lt
 More Light Needed

The Society of British Medical Officers of Health recently discussed refrigeration in the preservation of food. One of them expressed the opinion that the process might even improve the flavor of meat. A writer in the Medical Record, com- mentng on the discussion, says
 Tn these days when cold storage, the employment of preservatives in foods, and the adulteration of food products are being subjected to the most severe crit cism discussion held by the Society or British Medical Officers of Health on the refrigeration of food, and reported m tne Lancet, should prove of interest pr. Hanna, who opened the discussion, re- ferred to the fact that the United states was not only no longer sending cattle to Great Britain. but was taking Tor us own supply cattle from countries which had hitherto exported almost exclusively to Great Britain. He went on to point out that the methods of refrigeration or foodstuffs depended chiefly on the scien- tific fact that expanding air or vaporiz- ing substances. such as sulphurous acid, carbonic acid, or ammonia, in assuming the gaseous form abstracted heat from the atmosphere or other bodies in the neighborhood.
 Fresh meat was carried from distant countries either as hard frozen meat or chilled meat. Chilled meat arrived in a
 condition ready for consumption and re-
 tained the characteristics of fresh meat
 more closely than frozen meat, but the chilling process required great care, and the transport needed constant supervis- ion. The frozen method was the better as regarded preservation. although it sometimes damaged the cellular and fl- brous structure of the meat unless spe- cial care was taken in defrosting. Hanna gave 1t as his opinion that meat when
 thawed would keep with proper care as well as freshly killed meat after being taken from the refrigerator, even in high temperature, a view not in accordance
 with popular opinion.
 "Of course. refrigeration or chilling of foodstuffs is necessary when these have to be conveyed for long distances, as from North or South America to Europe, the process itself and the defrostng That, however, animal food thus treated does not undergo certain amount of de- terioration is a view opposed, at least, to popular ideas. and certainly the sugges- ton that refrigeration may Improve the flavor of meat is one not borne out by experience. It might be in the interests of the consumer if scientific investiga- tions were carried out to show exactly what effect refrigeration has upon ami maj food and for how long a period meat can endure the process without un- dergoing harmful changes"

Saving the Forests

Some very interesting facts are given in a bulletin issued by the forest service of the department of agriculture at Wash ington. The forest resources of the coun- try, their value and their waste. are con- sidered, says the Rochester Union. The lumber industry employs 7350o0 people, to whom are paid annually $367. .0O0000 in wages, the.worth of products being s1, ,25O, : 000,0o0 The forests of the country cover 550,000O00 acres
 An average of 70 human lives are sac rificed annually in forest fires, according to this report, and a pecuniary loss occurs of $25,000.000 Damage from insects and tree diseases, which follow fire. costs each year s50,0OO000. The cost of destruc- ton resulting from floods is not esti- mated but is given as countless mil- lions"
 But this bulletin expresses hope more than pessimism. It shows forests planted and grown under intensive management and the national forest ranger scouting for fires on the mountain lookout station. The effective patrol here referred to has reduced forest fire losses to as low as one-tenth of l per cent an acre" It is pointed out that by planting forests an annual income could be derived in the country of $65O00,0O0, and by preservative treatment upon timber each year S1O0,- 000.000 could be saved
 The American people have come to a full realization of the importance of forest preservation and are In perfect accord with the policy of the federal government in regard 10 1t. It costs good deal of money to carry on this work but it Is money proftably spent. The Canadian government is pursuing the same policy, and the results have been remarkable, as was shown in an editorial article in these columns a few days ago The for eStS Of the ,arf. have been ravaged by fires for many years and the financial loss to the people by this destruction of their natural herit- age has been beyond computation. To a great extent it is now checked, and in due time 1t will be almost wholly stopped.

more independent and servants much less"
 This problem has been vexing for a number Of years and seems to be no nearer the end than in the beginning. It is as great a source of annoyance to the better class of negroes as it is nuisance to the white people, They are reasoning among themselves as to what is to be the outcome and year ago Mrs. orr, Mrs. Searight and the writer were invited to a meeting of one of the negro women's clubs to see what they were trying to do for their color and to offer some method of co operation in a plan to reach the ignorant and dependent servant.
 The fact is so many young negroes have grown up like weeds. without any training whatever and they all want money and are not particularly anxious to work for 1t. If one will ob- serve they always ask for a job, never mention work. and you employ them the work is usually yours at last. A flow days ago we had quite an exper- tence of our own.
