We learn from Boston that Jubilee Gilmore


Is in the field again, and this time with musi-
cal enterprise that will dwarf his former
achievement In that line into the most insig-
niflcant proportions. A coliseum will be built
capable of accommodating one hundred thou
sand persons In the auditorium and twenty
one thousand singers and instrumentalists on
the stage The festival will be held next sum-
mer, and likely the sacred precincts of the
Common will be invaded by this army of
musicians. We regret very much that Mr..
Gilmore has decided upon Boston second
not make the metropolis the central point
around which he might rally his tuneful
legions. He gives as reason that he met no
encouragement here from our leading citizens,
while the memory of his former brilliant
success In Boston caused some Of the
modern Athenians to come forward cheer
fully, bank book in hand. We cannot
believe that in a musical community like
ours such grand scheme should receive
the cold shoulder. 1t might be regarded
as visionary were it not for the fact that
Its protector carried out similar idea before
with complete success. The fact is that New
York has already many colossal works of it's
own In contemplation and has no time at pre-
sent to entertain others. Boston needs some
excitement like that which Gilmore can infuse
into its sluggish veins, and we have magnani-
mously refused to deprive that ancient village
of its only sensation. At the samo time the
patronage of New York will come to Mr..
Gilmore's assistance, as it did before, to enable
him to bring his grand enterprise to tri-
umphant conclusion, while the adjacent fields
and neighboring housetops will be thronged
by the delighted but impecunious listeners of
the ''Hub." This jubilee Is to be International
in character, all nations being invited to
participate in it, Who will say that the mil
lennium is not at hand and that Boston is not
to be the abode of the universal happy family
Mr. Gilmore has a clear year ahead now to
perfect bis arrangements and to lay new
Atlantic cables by which Kaiser Wilhelm, Gear
Alexander and perhaps the Khedive may be
enabled to take part in the grand jubilee.
These cables will be probably attached to the
electric artillery. Mr. Gilmore takes his new
departure for Europe this month, and will re-
turn only when he has engaged all the musical
stars-in fact, an entire frmament-in that
benighted country. This jubilee will be a
brilliant finale to the season of 1912,
which will be signalzed by such attractions as
the Nilsson Opera Troupe, Rullman's Vienna
Lady Orchestra, Parepa-Rosa's English Opera
Company, Dolly's English ballad quartet and
Theodore Thomas symphony soirees. Mean
while, for .he two months preceding the for
NAL opening of this grand musical season, we
have the concerts at Central Park Garden and
Terrace Garden to keep us in mind of the
good things in store for us.

There is no doubt that impure water has
an injurious effect on the flavor of milk. 1t
has been found that the milk from cows
which were compelled to drink stagnant
water from ponds, when brought to the
cheese-factory was tainted, and gave bad
flavor to the whole making of cheese into
which it had entered. We have before us
letter from correspondent in Norway,
who speaks of the i'll effects resulting from
permitting cows to feed on the litter thrown
out from horse stables-a practice too COM
mon in that country. Not only was the
milk tainted, but the butter and cheese
made therefrom had al unpleasant taste
and smell, 1t is well-kpown that the wild
garlic eaten by cows in Spring, lends its
peculiar flavor to the milk and butter yield
ed by them. In fact, nothing can be more
sensitive to ill-tlavored substances eaten or
drunk by the cows, than is the milk or but


ter. The use of stagnant or impure water
should then be scrupulouSly avoided, and if
no other source of pure water is possible,
a sufficient quantity should be pumped for
cows twice a day at least. There is no
more striking Illustration OF the facts above
noted than the unpleasant taste of milk
from cows fed on the waste Of distlleries,
experienced by one used to the milk of
farm and obliged to sojourn In a city

Very few barns or barn-yards are so ar
ranged as to save tue liquid manure. The
loss resulting from such IL want of proper
arrangement is a serious one, more so than
some farmers would imagine. Ia the first
place, the quantity of liquid matter which
might be saved from pair of horses and a
half dozen cows amounts to $4,000
pounds yearly. This is equal to about 10,
900 gallons, which, diluted with an equal
quantity of water, would furnish each year
a dressing of 1000 gallons per acre to
twenty acres of land. Fermenting liquid
manure needs this addition of water for
the purpose OF retaining the ammonia
which would otherwise pass off and be lost.
The solid matter contained in the above
quantity of liquid is equal to nearly three
tons, and is worth as much as the best
guano. The money value would therefore
be about $200-an amount that is well
worth saving. Much less than this amount
would make the drains and tank required
to save the manure, so that the outlay
would be more than repaid the first year.
Or, II proper absorbents were freely used,
the whole of the liquids might be saved
without any outlay at all.

This is the title ofa new, valuable and COM
prchcnsive religious work; embracing the
lives of the most eminent men from the earli-
est times to the present day.


One of the great merits of this work is,tha'
it comprises in one volumne that which is u.s.
ually spread out through great many books
so that it may be said it is in effect complete
library of religious literature in itself.


Such work is needed in every household
to strengthen the faith of the aged and keer
the young in the path virtue, being perfectly
free from sectaran bias, beautifully embel-
lished with over 200 fine engrayings and S5(
pages it merits an extensive circulation anC
cannot fail to win its way into every family
as the work commcndS itself to all.


Prof CALVIN HALL, the authorized agent
for this valuable work, who is now canvass
ing the County, will remain in town for few
days and we commend him to the courtesy
and patronage of our citizens, and trust he
will meet with that success commensurate
with the rare merits Of the work.

During the late Editorial Conven-
ton at Jackson there were some rich
things happened. Mackley had STRAIT
ed q story OF rats going down the coal
shafts, and finding nothing to save
life but the oil in the miners jug, he
said they had learned to extract it by
squatting over the jug and dropping
their tails in until saturated and then


drawing them out and licking them


off. Chapman was a little suspicious
Of t'sellb and at once found Mackley
and proceeded to get reliable infoTma-
ton. Taking jug, to illustrate the
thing, two descended a coal shaft, and
retiring to a dark corner, they took of
their coats and devoted themselves to
scienee-Maekley as lecturer or the
adaptation Of means to ends as de-
velOped by rats-and Chapman as a
pure lover of truth seeking knOWl-
edge. 1t may be well enough to re-
mark that the Jug used on this Occa-
sion did not contain OIL Mackley, to
illustrate how the rats got their tails
in, would poke stick down, and then
he and Chapman would lick it OF.
After going through the process for
half an hour Chapman began to see
how the thing was done, but in
short time he WASH able to see any
thing else, and as for Maekley, after
he had ceased to be able to get the
stick into the jug, he mechanically
poked it down outside until he went
to sleep. This accounts for their ab-
sence at the Editorial Convention.
Long after the Convention adjourned,
these two sdUdnts were found asleep
in the coal shaft, lying upon their
backs with their mouths open, and
the rats, thinking they had a "sOft
thing" in a new kind Of q jug, were
the old game with their
tails.-P0TtsmOuth Tribune.

A suit was decided before Justice kol-
be in Cleveland, last week, Of consider
able importance. 1t was brought by
wife against a keeper Of a saloon for
damages alleged 10 have been sustained
in consequences Of liquor haYing been
sold by the defsndent 70 the husband OF
the plaintiff. IL was the pioneer case or
the kind in that region, and was brought
under the new law, passed April Is, lofOi
which provides As follows:


@That every husband. wife, child
parent, guardian, employer or other per-
son who shall be injured in person or
property or means cf support Dy any
intoxicated person, or in consequences OF
the intoxieation, habitual or otherwise,
or any person shall have right
Of action against any other per-
son or persons who shall, BY selling or
giving Intoxicating liquors, have caused
intoxicatiOn in whole Orin part Of such
person or persons; and the owner OF
lessee or person or persons renting or
leasing any building or premises, having
knowledge that intoxicating liquors are
to be sold therein in violation Of law, or
having leased the same for other pur-
poses shall knowingly permit intOLica-
ting liquors 70 be sold in such building
or premises that have caused the intOxi-
cation, shall be liable for
all damages sustained as well as exer-
plary damages"


Plaintiff claimed that defendant had
sold liquor to her husband, Henry Rec
son, who had been in the habit Of getting
intoxicated for four or FIVE years, and
who had done nothing % provide for her
support. It was in testimony that the
plaintiff had gone to the defendants
saloon hundreds Of times TO look for her
husband, and that she had taken him
away from there many times; also, that
on one occasion, when plaintiff remon-
strated with defendant for selling liquor
TO her husband, the defendant replied
that he would sell him all he pleased


The jury before whom the case was
tried were intelligent in a high degree.
Damages were laid at $500, all that could
be sued for in Justices court. The
jury, amer a few minutes deliberation,
returned a verdict awarding plaintiff
the full amount Of her claim.


The next morning Mrs. Reeson filed a
petition for divorce from her husband.
