Dorset Work Continues.

Division of the Department of

behind him remedy for hog cholera

Kidding the swine raisers of the dread
epidemic disease which sweeps through
the stock with devastating effect, once
it gains a foothold.
Crystal-violet vaccine, his discov-
cry, has been further perfected by
his associates, who are carrying on
the work to which he devoted 80
years of his life.
Crystal violet is a chemical dye,
one of many substances the biochem-
lists have used in their efforts to de-
stroy the infective elements and at
the same time preserve the protective
elements. Crystal violet does this
better than any other substance tried.
Tests of several lots of the vaccine
on nearly 200 pigs have given about
SO per cent satisfactory protection
against hog cholera. In these tests
resistance to the disease was deter
mined by the ability of each pig to
survive the injection of hog cholera
virus three weeks after vaccination
with the new product.

Gen. Sharpe said that II would be
presumptuous on his part to issue q
parole after Gen. Grant had prac-
tically given one TO Gen. Lee, and that
he had been ordered to parole the
officers and men of the Army of North
ern Virginia.
COL Marshall returned with a
- statement from Gen. Lee to the
effect that he, Gen. Lee, was member
Of the Army of Northern Virginia,
whereupon the parole was issued. This
parole later prevented an attempt to
arrest Gen. Lee and bring him to trial.
The incident was certainly fortuitous,
as it would have been a rather dis
creditable thing to bring Gen. Lee to
trial.
Two brass candlesticks which we're
props of the surrender scene stand be-
side the other mementos. Gen. Sharpe
was present at the surrender as a
member of Gen. Grants official and
personal staff. After the surrender
he bought the candlesticks. Upon each
of them he placed small shield, upon
which is engraved the following in
scription:
Witness of the surrender Of Gen.
Robert E. Lee to Gen. U. s. Grant,
Appomattox. Va, 1866"
Gen. Sharpe's sword accompanies
the other relics. Upon it is engraved
his name and a list of the battles in
which he was engaged. Tied to the
sword is a piece of crepe which he
placed there at the time of President
Lincoln's funeral. He was detailed
to represent the State of Georgia at
the funeral
Gen. Sharpe was a native Of
Kingston, N. Y. At the outbreak of
the Civil War he raised the 120th regi-
ment, New York Volunteers, in Ulster
County, and became its colonel He
became assistant provost marshal OF
the Union Army. Under Gems. Hooker
and Meade he became head of the
Bureau of Military Information and
| also acted IN the same capacity at the
headquarters of the armies operating
against Richmond under Gen. Grant.
| He organized the Bureau Of Military
Information Concerning the Enemy,
under Gen. Hooker's direction, and re-
mained at the head of the bureau
during the remainder Of the war. This
bureau subsequently became known as
the Intelligence Department.
The Senate House and the Senate
House Museum at Kingston contain
many relics besides those of the Civil
War period. The old Senate House. in
which the first Senate of New York
State met in 1777, is treasure house
of relics Of the Colonial period. The
house was built in 1876 by Col. Vessel
Wesselsen Ten Brock, who came to
America in 1859. In one of the rooms
are two frames which hold papers that
we're discovered in the house recently.
The papers are mostly in Dutch. Some
were written by Col Ten Brock.
Others are bills rendered to him for
merchandise and supplies. The earliest
memorandum is dated 1872 and is for
half tanker of rum "for soldiers"

delight the American public with his
recipe histrionics? Lord Bacon in
England, and Monsieur Tallyrand in
France, both INDUCED in cookery as
a science to the extent Of invent
ing new dishes. Monsieur Savarin
even went so far as to say that
destiny of nations depends upon the
manner in which they are fed" In
our country alone the practice of
cooking has been considered woman'S
field. Many of our American Senators
actually look insulted when you ask
them If they can cook Senator Borah
was the only one. however, who
pointblank refused to answer the
question. It isn't rare to find an
intelligent woman who is also a good
cook, but to find a good cook, who
is also an intelligent Senator, that is
something! AS q favorite dish. a
goodly number of OUR lawmakers
vote for that grand old American dish,
q porterhouse steak with french fried
potatoes. But here are the Senators
now words on "the manner in which
they are fed"
Senator Harry A. Moore, that genial
aristocrat from New Jersey, said:
Baked beans are my favorite dish.
and this is the way you fix 'em: Bake
the beans in the ground, heated on
stones and cooked with large hunk
of pork. You keep them covered for
"a hours, and when they are finished,
you have q dish fit for king! AS
for mixing drinks, or doing any cook
ing myself, I'm not there.
THE ascetic scholar, Senator King
from Utah, had the wisdom Of
longevity in his reply:
"I'm quite Indifferent to what
eat, becauseeI eat so little. For 20
years my breakfast has been only a
cereal with cream. I eat no luncheon
and a very light dinner. Since I don't
eat, I don't have to worry about
exercise. I've never been on a golf
links in my life. My only hobby since
I left college has been work. don't
eat, I don't smoke and don't drink
so that I'm able to do more work"
Senator Bennett Champ Clark, who
has the incest smile and the shrewdest
eyes, AYERS:
"Well, I really can't cook, but, Of
course, I can fry eggs and bacon and
o few things that everybody else can.
I've got lots Of favorite dishes-some
Of them are mustard greens, hog jowl
and Missouri ham. I'm not much Of
q cook. but I'm pretty good at the
heavy end Of It'll"
The stalwart Minnesotan, Senator
Henrik Shipstead, with twinkle In
his eye, answered: s,:
Indeed I can cook. In fact, my
cooking Is the only thing I brag about.
My favorite dish is 'geeserhouse'
steak. It's a local dish. You take a
thick teabone steak and broil It over
Goals Of oak wood out in the open.
OF course, ] confine my cooking to
camp" he confided with q smile, and
that again shows the typical -Ameri-
can viewpoint. Men are ashamed to
admit any culinary proficiency"

Senator Brown Of New Hampshire,
that grand New England ball player,
likes his doughnuts and coffee. In
fact, he likes everything about New
England, even the 50-foot snowbanks
in Winter.
"In a railroad station in Boston,"
he says. "or in any New England city
for that matter, you will find 40 out

q doughnut down here. In most New

of table fish. The odds are in favor

THE case in the Senate House Mu-
scum containing the Lincoln note
concerning DR.. Santvoord's pay and
the Elmendorf letter describing the
assassination of President Lincoln also
holds some other interesting Civil War
mementoes which are on display to
the public for the first time.
Alongside of the Elmendorf letter is
spris of immortelles which was
taken from President Lincoln's casket
while his body lay in state in the City
Hall in Chicago.
Close beside the mementos already
mentioned is a frame that contains
a pass signed by Gen. Robert E. Lee.
This pass probably was one of the
last signed by Gen. Lee and possibly
one of his last official acts as COM
mander of the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia. The pass reads as follows:
Head Qrs. Armies of C. s.,
II April, 1865.
Pickets and Guards:
Pass Pro. Brigr. Genl. George H.
Sharpe, Asst. Pro. Mar. Cd, to pass
unmolested from Appomattox C. House
| to the Federal lines with such officers,
orderlies and transportation as he may
have with him r. E. Lee,
| Genl."
Brig. Gen. George H. Sharpe, to
whom Gen. Lee issued this pass, was
chief of the Bureau of Military In
formation during the latter days of
the Civil War. BY reason Of that posi-
ton Gen. Sharpe was thoroughly
familiar with the organization of the
Confederate Army and was assigned to
the duty of paroling the officers and
men Of that army. This work required
him to 60 from one organization to
another In the Conferedate Army after
Gen. Lees surrender at Appomattox
Court House on April 8, 1865. The
pass signed by Gen. Lee on April IL
was to allow Gen. Sharpe to pass
/ through the Confederate lines upon
completion of his work.
This pass issued by Gen. Lee to
Gen. Sharpe Is kept covered with
velvet curtain SO that daylight will not
further fade the ink.
There is an interesting incident con-
nected with Gen. Lees surrender of
which most historical writer's know
nothing. After Gen. Sharpe was de-
tailed to parole the officers and men
Of the Army Of Northern Virginia, Col.
Marshall Of Gen. Lees STAFF visited
him and said that Gen. Lee would like
parole. Gen. Sharpe felt that it
might be construed as an attempt on
his part to assume notoriety to issue
a parole to Gen. Lee, and he said that
he did not consider parole for Gen.
Lee was needed inasmuch as Gen. Lee
had signed the treaty with Gen. Grant.

1T is often said that life in the
rural sections is simple, and that
the adjustments thereto are easy 10
make; that life in the city is conf
plex. Adjustments thereto are haro
to make. And then the conclusion IS
that rural folks are not so intelligent
as city folks.
have often wondered if this were
true. First. because I have found
that every popular notion is likely
to be a mistaken notion.
Intelligence is question of adapta-
ton, and it seems to me that the
adaptations required for successful
rural life must be vastly more COM
plex than those required for what
is called successful urban life.
Another thing, intelligence which
is measured by adaptation will seek
its level. 1t is fluid in much the same
sense as water. It flows in channels
that correspond with its energy.
Go about the countryside this time
of the year. You see these adjust
ments in action. The ruralites are
expending energy that would appeal
the average urbanite. Their labors
can find no demarcation between holi-
days and work days. They seem to
study weather forecasts and note its
seasonal variations. Few of them can
find enough hours in day. Such
things must mean complexity rather
than simplicity.
