Ilia holiness' favorite opponent ued to be Father Oulllo, with whom be waa in the babll of playing when he waa Cardinal Pec cl. On being raised to the pontifical throne, he summoned Father Oulllo from Florence, where ha waa then sta tioned, and gave him apartments In the Vatican, Father Oulllo waa said to combine a rare mastty of the game with an exceedingly Iraa- ule temper. Sometime, 1 during a game with his holiness, ! would burst out Into an ungovpr-v'jle fit of rage, On aiich oc cailona Loo XIII.

A Cycling Calealntloa. An Itallau engineer baa calculated that there must be by this time as many as 10.000,000 cyclists In the world. If only one-half of them were to mount their machlnea on the same , day, each traversing about twelve and rittif miles, their combined Journeys would represent a distance equal to 2,600 timea the circumference of the unit. These startling figures help us to form some Idea of the importance ol the cycle as ft factor la modern civiliza tion. , ' ' ; - A Million In Umt Mlnit. Evansvllle, I fid,, Oct. 12.

It takes a good deal of stamina for a butter or cheese maker to refuse the milk that Is brought to him when, he knows that It Is only just enough off to warr .t its refusal. In many cases the man Is working at a small salary and cannot afford to lose bis place. He therefore accepts the poor milk, hop ing that by skill he may be able to overcome the harmful flavors produced by mallferoue bacteria. But try as be will be cannot make butter and cheese that will atand the test of time and remain good. It should therefore be a point with the patrons to encourage tho man at the factory to reject all poor milk. They are getting the right spirit In New Zealand, where they are beginning to pay tbe buttermaker for an m ilk rejected. This makes him feel that the patrons are blnd blm ana that bis salary does not depend on bis receiving milk that Is so poor in navor that It will Injure the make or tho entire factory, They are trying to form a mil ktriist in the city of Washington, but ws un oerstand that no great headway has ss yet been made. An attemnt was maas to Impress tbe consumer with the Idea that said trust would riva them better and cheaper ir!k. The people evidently t bought they would not be too credulous in the matter. All trust are formed with tl.e ftvwed Intention of benenttlna: thi nonnt nv PP they without doubt mean me noiders of the stock-til! such time ss tuey can work tbe bond echeme and freeze out the stockholder. Th f. feet of most milk trust Is to Increase the price to the consumer and decrease the price the producer of th miii r- ceives. The manlnulators nt irut miena to nave a profit at both ends. see rasieumiitlon of milk and milk proauci snouid he followed to ft fur greater extent than at present.

Not oniv sra the lives of healthy people In tho nana of the dairymen to aome etnt. but to ft very large extent tbe lives of mvan.j ana children. It is not n. slble for us to know how many people have been slain by diseases carried In milk, but what we do know nt glons thus produced convinces us that tho entire number must be great. The simpie work of pasteurizing make all sare, THE DANGEROUS CLASSES. Hottlad Milk, I bavs found that thers Is less ex pense and trouble In vlellverlng milk In bottles than by dipping it-from a can. oouiea mnic commands a better price, say a contributor to Itural New Yorker. As the bottle bold Just one quart, there la no over dip. Milk dipped from a can aeems to loss from four to five quarts for sverr 40-onart csn. Ws used to deliver 440 quarts of Domeq muic dally, besides several 40 quart cans of dipped milk, and alway found the bottle tbe most fconomlcal way to deliver. Our bottle bill aver sged 30 gross of bottles per year, at $9.60 per gross, which amounted to $285, or a loss of 4,320 bottles a year. Suppose ws deliver the 440 quarts, or U 40-quart can of milk by dipping It from tho can, and overdlp or lose four quarts of milk for each 40-quart can, there would be a loss of 44 quarts of milk on the It cans dally, which, at seven cents per quart to the retailer. means $3.08 per day. or $1,121,20 per ynar. uecillCl from tills thtt oss nn W. ties, $285, whch leaves a balance of s.sa.ju in ravor of the retail doaler who uses bottlea. There Is even a larger balance than his In his favor, because he geta eight cents per quart for his bottled milk, and bla customers like It better because of the bottles; the cream ahowa up better, the milk Iooka richer, and is much cleaner and handler, both for the customer and dealer. Cheese Spoiled In Curing. Many a well-made cheeue la spoiled In the cur ing room. Too many maken pay too little attention to the curing of their cheese. Much of the succese la at tributable to proper care of tbe cheese after reaching tbe curing room. Shelves should be kept Hesu and should be IM and level and not warped out of shape, A uniform temperature la de sirable, and the maker who allows the temperature of the curing room to vary from 40 to 10 degree will never Miffred Jn turning out a fin flavored cheese.

' Tbla Is the scanon for good advice to college graduates. To have really tbe beat effect, however,' the advlco ought to be addrosHod to tbe young men about four years before thoy gradu ate, and It ought to Includa tbeir pro fessors and parents. It Is generally admitted that the J Kvnru ((iiiiriiiii.ruiir nililri'na dllatps upon evils In public life and calls upon the young warriors Just going Into tho world equipped lo tho pauoply of tho higher leuriilng to tight manfully against these threatenfrfg ilia. Houses anil political heelers are generally specified as tho enemies of society against whom the coilego graduates aro expected to tnko anus, and there are frequent exhortations to lay aside tho fastidiousness of culture and "at tend the primaries" to do battle for good government. This Is well as far as It goes, but it does not strike at theeal root of tho evil. The act uul situation may be made clear by a bit of catechism: What aro the most "duugorous classes" iu American society 7 Those responsible for tbe worst evils that nflllct our people. What Is one of our worst evils? Corrupt government. Who are responsible for corrupt government? The men who bavs tuouey to spend la buying favors. What classes bavs money to spend In this way? The financially successful classes, whoso young men all go to collego, Agnlust whom, then, should collego graduate bo particularly warned? Themselves. It Is a pathetic spectacle of well meant futility to see rich and educated young men pottering about tho prima ries la a helpless effort to keep their own political tools from selling out to themselves, Let these principles be Impressed upon every student, not only upon bis graduation, but all through bis collego course and la vacation times at home: If, you aro going to bo a lawyer, don't put your conscience at the dis posal of any rich Individual or cor poration that can offer you a good fee to Invent methods of defrauding the public, If you are a director In a railroad company, dou't go to a meeting of your good government club to protest against betrayals of , tho peoplo by boodle officials whllo your agents are hiring those snrne officials to commit the crimes you denounce. If tho so called "good citizens" did not debauch our government, It would not be debauched, for they are tho men who have the money, to puy for corruption. . This Is the moral lesson that needs to bo taught In our colleges, not how tho poor Utile rascals that do political work on street corners and la saloons cao be kept from yielding to tempta tlon, but how the rich and powerful and well educated can restrain them selves from putting temptation In their way. Let the good citizens" reform themselves, and the had citizens will have to become good from lack of any inducement to ho otherwise. Many of the present enemies of tho common won Itli are "self nuulo men," who havo accumulated their riches without the advantago of a college ed ucation, but they all send their sonS to college. Perhaps, If their Instructors do their duty, tho new generation may be moro scrupulous than the old, and wealth In Its hand may be a blessing Instead of a menace to the state. Why not cultivate the Imaginations of tho ardent young men whoso char acter aro ready to take tho Impress of the mold? Let them realize tho baso ness of living as pernicious parasites on society, taking everything and glv- Ing nothing, destroying tho vitality of the social organism that supports them, and, like tho Son Joso scale, good for nothing but to be scrubbed off with whalo oil soap. Develop ambition, The man who makes himself truly great necessarily does good to others. The ono who ac cumulates millions without doing good to others makes a pitiful failure of his life. The college graduate wants suc cess. There Is only one way to get It ami that the honest and uuselfish way. -8. II MoiTett in New York Journal TREATY IS SIGNED, Plrnltr ual WUH rraaea Com' lul4 Tudr.

Howard, editor of Farm, Field and Fireside, of Chicago spoke before the recent conference of social and political reformers at Buf falo on "Tho American Farmer." In the course of bis address be said: "I am not here to plead for any public policy which shall favor ogrlculturo to the. Injury of any other business. Tbe farmers of our country bnve come In for some pretty bard unmes of lato. At some of these, such as 'hayseeds,1 'horny handed sons of toil,' etc., they can afford to smile good naturedly. At others, like the 'man of the muck rake,' or 'tho luuo with tbe, hoc,' they are thoughtful . Does the occupation of agriculture necessarily tend to de grade? ; ."' "Georgo Washington was first and Inst an agriculturist. Abraham Lin coin, James A. Garfield aud many oth ers uiHiiuguiHiied in peace and war were at Byrne time In their Jives farm ers, and, like 'Antaeus, took an Irre prcsslhle start upward from a touch of the soil. . "And yet some of our farmers crlug cf Inwardly, when lately they looked upon Millet's The Man With the IIoo This Is not my likeness. It Is not a picture of my boy. Is It to bo a portrait of my son's son? "A thing that grluvus not aud that never uuprn, Btolld snd stannod, a brother to the ox. "It not our occupation, do It condi tions mean this for thoso who come after us? Must the descendant of tbe American fartuer revert to tho 12uro peun peasant typo? "Bowed by the wolfdit uf centurion, he lan Uuuu his hou anil yuu upon tliu xroond, Tli tmiptliii!n of i,' In his fiiw, And oa his Uwk tiie tmrdon ot tha world. ,, "There Is no shaiw more torrlbla than this, Mure tonguoil with corumra of tb wurld's Mind giond. "Our farmers' sons find that tbe old farm Is depreciating every year; the Income from It uro diminishing; there Is not enough for ail; the sous and daughters cannot be sent away to school or to college, as was the trnc tlce 24 yeurs ago, when I left homo on the New Kugluiid farm for my four years' course of study, Tbe boys and also tho girls seek employment In tho clues. "Tbls Is not Kuropean life, one may say. Yes, but It Is the history of many a boy who has been forced from the farm by Its bard conditions during the past 0 or 7 years-nay, for 25 years past These sons of the farmer are looking down. Their faces are toward tho ground." . , Tho speaker gave some startling comparative figures regarding Incomes and said that the agricultural popula tion of tho United Ktatos Is compelled, under present conditions, to live on on Income below that provided for pau pers, and receive less for their labor than Is paid for convicts. "This is but a single specimen fact," continued General Howard. "It can be multiplied from almost every class of industry. Thousands are tramps and beggars today. We know It. For my part, I cannot Ignore facts and figures. They mean not starvation alone, they mean tho wrecking of homes, tho breaking up of families, tbe crushing out of bright hopes of youth, the shat tering of faith. " They mean tho poor houso to the ski and aged. They mean tears and untold sorrow. They mean the breaking of hearts. They mean despondency. despair and sulcldo. Tbey mean crime. "Kut this Is not Christian. Some of my' brethren of the church may any, 'Theso are the necessities of life, and they should bo meekly borne and de velop patience.' Here we tnko Issue. It la not an Inevitable and cruel neces sity that pauperizes tbe American farmer and degrades bla children and enkindles In bis heart too, often tbe spirit of retaliation and revenge. The economic or financial system of our country Is somehow wrong when 01 per cent of the families own 20 per cent of the wealth and 0 per cent of tbe families own about 71 per cent of the wealth. "Until some remedy Is suggested for tho evil or falling prices, and until the rich cense to Ut'ome richer and the poor poorer, how are we to bring any good cheer to the farmer? But there Is a brighter ldo. Wyckoff found no happier Kit In all bis travels thnu on the Mltiiii'noin farm. Tbe family and the neighborhood life vrcrt? Idyllle. These bard statistics are averages and tell of a terrible depression mid a wrong to I righted. "On the other hand, It would be al most InipoHcitile to make anarchist out of American farmer. Tbey love their etuiuiry. In the civil war and In the but war the best recruiting ground wi-rw lo the great agricultural tat.
