CONSUMPTION OF SIEAT.
f
% A
LARGE per capita consumption of meat is
characteristic of prosperous times and of
countries in which the individual earning
capacity of the working classes is high.
f ] It is not a matter of surprise , therefore , to
3 tind , in a late government report , that the
United States far exceeds all other coun
tries except those of Australia in per capita meat con-
EUuiption. Cuba stands third on the list.
The consumption in this country amounts to almost
exactly half a pound daily for each person 1S5 pounds
a year. That of Great Britain is one-third less , and the
amount diminishes in several European countries , down
to Sweden , where the average consumption is only one-
third as much as that of the United States.
Australia is a great gfaziug country , meat is cheap ,
and the inhabitants will cat nothing but the choicest of
fresh meat. The average consumption of meat in Aus
tralasia amounts to almost three-quarters of a pound
daily for each person. Both there and in Cuba the cli
mate requires that meat be eaten on the same day the
animal is killed. ' The high figures , therefore , include a
very largo proportion of waste.
Vegetarians will derive comfort from the report that
meat consumption in the United States has declined
about two-fifths since 3S-10. There Mvas a sudden in
crease in 1S90. but since the'n the decline has been more
pronounced. The reason for this is the introduction , or
rather the cheapening and the rendering more accessible ,
of other energy-producing foods , especially sugar , the
consumption of which has increased since 1S1Q from
fourteen pounds to the Individual to more than seventy-
six pounds. - '
Of the nipat produced in the United States , about one-
eighth is exported. The magnitude of the industry as a
whole may be judged from the fact that the capital
which it represents is'more than ten < and a half billion
dollars about the same as the net earnings of all the
steam railroads in the country. Youth's Companion.
SQUELCKDTG THE SPAESOW.
1IE English sparrow has been declared the
buccaneer of bird life in many sections of
the country , and outlawed accordingly. If
in Massachusetts all should come tc it that
the statutes prescribe its lot would be an
unhappy one. indeed. "The oflicers Raving
ciuuye UL jmuiiu uuiiuiiiys in ciues , aim
such ofiicers as the Selectmen designate and appoint in
town * , shall take and enforce such reasonable iteaus and
u. o such appliances , except poison , as in their judg
ment will effectively exterminate the English sparrow in
such city or town. ' ' Thus , it is the purpose of the law
not only to exterminate it. but to exterminate it "ef
fectively. " Furthermore , it is expressly excluded from
the protection that the law places artfnud other birds ,
and all persons are forbidden to give it harbor or succor
under well-defined penalties. To a considerable , perhaps
we might almost say to a general , extent there Is more
deadness in the law than in the bf/ds at which its grim
provisions are aimed. Some of ou'r foreign bird shooters
may take advantage of this special license to hunt them
for culinary purposes , but as rt rule they seem to multi
ply and thrive. There are more crumbs than stones cast
their way in the cold days of winter , and without their
plucky companionship , which they maintain at the cost
of braving its frost and storms , we might experience a
sense of loss. But Michigan is tired of them. On the
1st of the mouth a new law will go into effect au
thorizing the payment of a bounty of 2 cents aliead for
sparrows. This will continue in force until the last
day of February , and be resumed for similar periods dur
ing following years. The probable effect of this will be
to encourage the sparrows for nine months in order tha
they may be more numerous when the harvest is ripe.

RESIDENT ROOSEVELT does not exag
gerate when he says , in his message to
Congress , that "the country is unquestion
ably on the verge of a timber famine which
will be felt in every household in the land. "
The present annual consumption of lumber
is three times the annual growth , and. if
it continues , all our timber will be exhausted in another
generation.
These are facts , and the country must face them. If
we do not largely extend our national forest territory ,
if we do not exchange our present system of reckless and
improvident waste for one which will give the public
full use of mercantile timber without detriment to for
ests , the country will be denuded of forest trees in a few
years. The consequences that would follow such u
course , the drying up of water courses , the blight of
aridity , the change of climate , are so serious that they
should make people consider them at once.
There should be no dela3 * , as the President says , in
taking preventive measures. We must check immediate
ly the insensate greed of persons who find it to their
immense adranlage to destroy forests by lumbering , and
not allov ? them to sacrifice the future of the nation to
their ovra self-interest of the moment. But above all
we must create a healthful public sentiment in favor of
fores ? preservation , for these men , blameworthy as they
are , yet are not so much to blame as the public indif
ference which enables them to proceed with their disas
trous work.
Congress shojuld take this matter up at the earliest
"
"
possible "moment and "appropriate whatever funds may be
necessary to put the project into execution. Such action
would be approved by every patriotic American. Chicago

TEE FARMER'S OPPORTUNITIES.
ERMAN ingenuity not long ago created a
nourishing industry based on the substitu
tion of mashed potatoes for wood in the
manufacture of lead pencils. Consul Kohl ,
at Stettin , now reports even more remark
able transformations of skim milk. The
miiK is urieu. vuicamzeu ami pressed , wuen
it resembles vulcanized rubber or celludoid. Fifteen gallons
lens of skim milk will produce eighteen ounces of the
new substance , which can be made to imitate ivory , tor
toise shell , amber , marble or coral. It can be pressed
into any desired shape , can be sawed , cut and polished
like natural horn. . and is not affected by oils , grease ,
ether or benzine. It sells at from 45 to 00 cents a pound.
These are rosy days for the farmer. When his milk fails
to pass inspection he can transfer it into side combs or
billiard balls. When his potatoes are not fit to eat he
can take his choice between turning them into alcohol
to run his automobile and lead pencils to figure out his
profits. Collier's Weekly.

THE ANTI-SALOON SI&ET.
A Hot Contest On for Control in , tie
National Capitr.1.
Washington correspondence :
Vested rights , as represented by th.
breweries , distilleries and liquor deal
ers , have begun to petition Congress in
anticipation of a strong move in favor
of prohibitory legislation at the hands
of the national lawmakers. Primarily
the petitions are aimed against a "dry"
capital city , which is the object- fixed
upon by temperance associations which
have ben encouraged by the prohibi
tion wave that recently swept various
sections of the country.
For some time a well organized lobby
has been doing quiet preliminary work
in the interest of the anti-prohibition
interests , which have been made more
anxious over the possibilities of legis
lation in the near future than surface
indications'would lead one to believe
The belief is entertained that the prohibition -
. hibition elements are. bent on driving
liquor out of the country's capital for
the moral effect such an accomplish
ment would have in still further na
tionalizing the general prohibition
movement.
The question before students of th '
situation who are able to look at both
sides without having their view warped
by prejudice is this : Has the prohibi
tion tide reached its flood , and will a
reaction presently set in ; or will th ?
wave sweep on without seriou Inter
ruption until it has converted the entire -
tire country into a laud of no 1 Icons ? ?
With this quejjtion In mind the work
ers on one side will put forth efforts to
make the capital of the United States
a temperance capital , while th se o \
the other hope that by downing the
movement here th ? way will be paved
for reaction from the results recently
brought about in several of the States ,
especially those of the south.
The chances seem to be > ajrainst any
drastic legislation on the subject by
Congress this winter. Possibly ir.crc at
tention might be given to the > subjer-t if
tuo Republicans and Democrats didn't
have so much to think about in tlu * n.--
ture of politics pertaining to Presiden
tial candidates next year. Aud if action '
is staved off the "antis" figure on a
reversal of sentiment that will not re
quire them to worry so rnueii in the fu
ture.
ture.P
P ut there is another side to the anti-
prohibition propaganda now in progR'ss
here which deals with the subject
wholly apart from the local issue in
volved. The attempt is being made to
impress upon Congress the- magnitude
of the whole prohibition question with
the argument that if prohibition pro
hibited the government system of tax
ation would have to be revised , inas
much as two-thirds of the government's
income is now derived from Internal
revenue taxes.
In connection with this argument the
liquor interests are smrgcstin. rr'v- :
ais of a novel kind upon the ' < > * - * "
States tt-iiicii locally would cease to pny
internal revenue taxes to the Fed'- . * !
DrnveYnmenr. Admission is made that
the sovereign right of a State tef de
prive the Federal government of its in
ternal revenue seems to have been es
tablished. P.nt the anti-prohibitiinists
are declaring to Conirre s that when a
State adopts the prohibition policy it
should be cut off from the appropri
ations for river and harbor improve
ments , rural free deliveries , public
builmiit-s and other improvements for
which the "wet" States , which pay the
internal revenue taxes , must supply the
money.
Such argument-may seem very far
fetched to many , but it simply goes to
show how serious the real feeling is
over the agitation that is in progress.
It indicates further that a stand is bo-
ini : taken by the anti-prohibition inter
ests for the purpose of fight ins more
systematically In the future the move
ment that has gained such headway in
the last vear.
