THE ADULTERATED FOOD PAIL.
In the stomach lies tho weakness
nr strength of a nation. It Is the
power houso In which energy 1b gen
erated for tho whole system, and Its
valno as such Is too lightly regarded
by the average dweller In a great city.
Poor abused, overtaxed and neglected
.stomach, very often tho victim of un
hygienic cooking at home and the In
digestible blight of the overage res
taurant outside! Added to this, the
domestic and foreign adulteration of
foods has reached such alarming pro
portion thnt tho government has
"stepped In to do what it can toward
safeguarding the natlonul stomach.
, It wJJl be cheering news to every
devoted housewife ntid" every patient
husband to learn thnt the department
of agriculture will cstobllsh In tnts

Ing Imported foods and detecting adul
terations. Already It has been discov
ered that the generously distended
nnd succulent Imported frankfurter Is
inntlo of horseflesh of n decidedly sus
picious quality. Other impositions
equally bad have been brought to
light. Choice pate dc folo gras, for
Instance, proves to bu only poor veal
so doctored as to deceive the un
sophisticated pnlate.
And yet this nation does not make
staple food -of sausages or pate do folo
gias: but the danger and tho fraud
of the thing are no less diminished.
Nor does all the danger threaten from
abroad. It has been discovered that
homo manufacturers- are not blame
less, nnd that even In little things like
pepper, salt, coffee, sugar and spices
adulterations are carried on to an
amazing extent. Even the field of the
Industrious bee Is Invnded, and tons
of spurious honey are turned out each
year. New York Evening Telegram.
COURAGE IN WAR.
In the great naval battles that have
occurred In the east, ns In the great
land battles, no doubt the Hussions
died gome. So did the Japanese, so
do the common soldiers and sailors of
many seml-clvlllzed nnd many bar
barian peoples. No people In the
world meet death with more noncha
lance, or 2more grim stoicism than
the Turks or our North American In
dians. To, die recklessly in battle Is
n common 'trait, and argues no special
nobility of chnracter. Least of all
does It give any indication of the
righteousness of a cause, or posses
fclon of the traits that make for the
glory of n nation In pence. To have
a bulldog's fearless pugnacity does
not demonstrate tho possession of
Christian, or even or moral virtues.
Bad men have It in common with tho
best men. Boston Herald.
FOREST
GROWING
STATES,
IN PRAIRIE
The American Government Bureau
of Forestry has selected two widely
separated sections of the treeless
area of tho West for a study In arti
ficial forestry during the present sea
son. A field force Is at work study
ing the soils and the kind or timber
best adapted to the States of Illinois
and the two Daaotns, the former be
ing a low, level prairie for the most
part, and the Intter. a high table-land
but both without trees, except along
tho streams. There has been consid
erable private tree planting In both
states chiefly, however, on n small
scale, and for purposes of shade and
bhelter tor farm buildings.
The Forestry bureau Is making a
study of the subject, with a view to
the encouragement of tree planting on
u more extensive scale. Two purposes
are to be furthered by this: One, the
growth of timber suitable for fuel,
fencing and building purposes, and
tho other, tho gradual growth or tim
ber shelter beltB at Intervals suf
ficlent to break the force of the fierce
winds that sweep across these plains.
Some experiments in this line have
demonstrated two very Important
benefits, the one being that tho win
ter wheat, protected by these shelter
belts survives, whore otherwise it
would be blown bare and killed. The
other demonstrated advantage Is that
In the drouth seasons the sheltered
land retains moisture much longer
than that which Ib wind swept. Ab
great portions of the treelesB sections
ot the American West have a defic
ient rainfall at best, tho Importance
of retarding evaporation can hardly
be over-estimated. Philadelphia Bul

We may be on tho verge of the mil
enntum, for M. Emtio Guarln has
, :ome to the conclusion that It will
' soon be possible to destroy armies by
lightning. He has experimented with
the Rubmkorff coll and found that
shocks can be transmitted through the

This great experimenter concludes
that the energy or 1,000 horse power,
at 100,000 volts codTa be concentrated

WRITERS
VERSATILITY NOT RECOGNIZED.
When I dub Whistler an immortal
writer, n mean precisely thnt mi long
as there nre people Interested In tho
subtler ramifications of English prose
as an art, so long will there be n few
constantly recurring readers of "The
Gentle Art," writes Max Bcerbohm In
the Metropolitan. Thcer are In Eng
land, at this moment, a few people to
whom prose appeals as nn nrt. Hut
none of them, 1 think, has yet done
Justice to Whistler's prose. None has
taken It with the seriousness It de
serves. I urn not surprised. When a
man can express himself through two
media, people tend to take him lightly
b) his usof Ujn nullum 1 which hc
devotes the lesser time and energy,
even though he use thnt medium not
less admirably than the other, and
even though they themselves care
about it more than they care about tho
other. Perhaps this very preference
In them creates a prejudice against
the mnn who Uoca not shaio It, and
so makes them skeptical of his power.
Anyhow, if Disraeli had been unable
to express himself through the me
dium of political life, Disraeli's novels
would long ago have bad the hue
which the expert Is Just beginning to
give him. Had Rossettl not been pri
marily a poet, the expert In painting
would have acquired long ago bis pres
ent penetration Into the peculiar value
of Rossottl's painting. Likewise, it
Whistler had never painted n picture,
and, even so, had written no more

THE PARTRIDGE.
The partridge hns
favor as o breakfast
long been
food, and
splendid nourishment for the sick

wide favor and renown ns the farm

high perch of national bird. His par
tisans nssurc us that he Is u stout
ally of the American husbandman,
nnd n much more active defender ol
American agriculture and propsperlty
than the proud, high-flying eagle.
Ornithologists who, under govern
ment auspices, have been studying
the partridge, say that he Is o win
ner. Only about one-fourth of hlf
food Is grain, 19 per cent corn, 3 per
cent wheat, and the balance millet,
barley, sorghum, rye and oats. He
does not steal this, but gathers It
after It hun been lost In the field. He
never pulls up sprouted grain after
the fashion of the crow. He docs not
rob orchards, though he Is fond ol
fruit, eating wild grapes, dewberries,
and wild strawberries. His long suit
Is as weed seed and Insect eater. He
Is a glutton for seeds of the smart
weed, pig weed, sheep sorrel and rag
weed. He has a passion for the pota
to bug, the ludyblrd bug, the chinch
bug, the bean beetle, cucumber beetle
boll weevil, caterpillar, cut worm,
army worm, wire worm, cotton
worm, locust and other crop destroy

now being taken Into close commun

NAMING THE HOME.
Home Is the resort of love, or joy,
or peace and plenty, where, support
ing and supported, polished friends
and dear relations mingle Into bliss,
says the old poet Thompson, and it
tho home place or the summer cot
tage Is not named, a christening party
will afford a unique entertainment
during the closing days or summer,
tor at no other gathering can one's
Individuality be more evident or one's
originality be given greater scope,
writes Bernlce Glenn In the Pilgrim.
The keynote ot business success ,s
to make the name or one's work fav
orably known to tho world; and every
fruit grower nnd farmer should have
some distinguishing brand by which
his products are known. So it Is a
pretty Idea to have one's home bear
a distinguishing it not distinguished
appellation something typical or In
dicative of the locality If It be at the
coast or In the mountains or sugges
tlve ot peculiar environment or local
tradition.
Family characteristics can frequent
ly be symbolized by a coined or com
pound word very apropos, but where
ono Is afraid to venture Into such
originality thero is always Indian lore
to draw from or In the southern and
western states the Spanish phrase
ology offers significant as well as
roelodlouB terms.

Grecian Sisters Fight Duel.
All foshlonnblo Athens Is gossiping
about a sensational occurrence which
took placo a short tlmo ago In the
family or a wealthy Greek merchant.
A hunusomo young Englishman was
ono of tho parties concerned. The
Englishman, who was on In.tlmntc
terms with tho merchant's family,
had unwittingly captured tho hearts
of the two pretty daughters of Iho
Iicuec. Some preference shown by the
son of Albion for the younger maiden
led to on embittered quarrel, which
culminated In a duel. Atter the fam
ily had retired to rest, tho girls rose
from their beds, and taking their
brothers' swords, proceeded In their
nightgowns to the garden. There In
the moonlight they began to fight.
Forturately for the fair duellists, their
weapons were too heavy to be wielded
with much effect, and when ono sis
ter, slightly wounded In tho breast,
shrieked, their father came on tho
scene and stopped tho duel.

work It Is doing for tho fuel con

their computations nro completed
they enn say with accuracy what tho
locomotive can do and at what cost.
They are gaining information which,
expressed in technical terms, Is In
valuable for the locomotive designer
of the future. It means In Its ulti

greatest amount ot work tor the least
expenditure, nnd a consequent reduc

This kind ot scientific investigation.
Is ot the utmost economic value. The

tho results of the tests will therefore
meet with universal acceptance.

Ono difficulty to contend with Is

These nro n serious handicap to a

It Is port or Its duty to harbor them.

To Fasten a Kicking Cow.
A dairyman describes his method ot
tying the hind legs ot u cow to prevent
kicking whllo being milked, as fol
lows: "Tho method I shnll dcscrlbo Is ef
fect I vo ond humane, nnd generally
only n few lessons nro necessary to
convince tho most unruly cow that
sho must stand still whllo being
milked. I tnko n name strap from a
harness, which Is ono Inch wldo and
about two feet long. Standing on tho
right side of tho cow, tho strap Is
taken by tho bucklo end on tho left
and passed around tho cow's loft hind
leg just over tho gambrel; tho end of
tho strap Is brought back between tho
cow's lcgB, and Is given ono or two
turns nrou?d Itself. It is then passe
In front of tho right leg, brought
around and securely buckled tight
enough so It cannot be pulled down
over the joint, but not tight enough to
provcnl tho cow fiom standing com
fortably as long as sho behaves her
self. "Tho cow Is not so badly frighten
ed with her legs confined in this way
as sho Ib with ono tied to the floor,
and it Is Impossible tor her to kick
or lift cither foot sufficiently to dis
turb tho milker. If no harshness is
used sho soon finds that being milk
ed Is not such nn awful hardship
after all, and gracefully submits."
Planting a Hedge.
E. P. I'lcaso dcscrlbo how to lay
out a thorn hedge. How far apart
should the plants bo set?
Tho soil should bo properly prepar
ed before planting tho hedge. Every
thing elso should bo In good condi
tion. The soil should then be turned
out Into deep furrow where the bodge
Is to stnnd and the plants should lie
set in this and tho soil drawn up to
thorn and firmly tamped about the
roots of tho plants. Tho distance
apart which the plants are to stand
will depend somewhat on tho style of
tho hedge. If a low small hedgo Is
wanted, as ono most often noes In
England, the plants should be eight
or nine Inches apart. If the trees are
to bo allowed to grow larger, say Ave
or six feet tall, tho plants should bo
set wider apart, not less than eight
een Inches.
Chemical for Destroying Woodchucks.

The chemical used for killing wooa
chucks, etc., Is the same as for de
stroying bugs In peas, viz., carbon bi
sulphide. This Is a liquid which read
ily evaporates Into gaa which is heav
ier than air. To kill woodchucks or
skunks in burrows, about two or three
ounces of tho chemical should be
poured on to a piece of cotton waste
or rag which should bo thrown down'
