The supreme court of Illinois, In an
elaborate decision, forbids the transfer
of the American Glucose company at
Peoria(to the Glucose Sugar Refining
company, of New Jersey, and declares
the trust agreement entered Into with
the latter combination to be illegal.
This is believed to be the first decision
by any court rendered in a case in
which the legal questions involved in
the modern trust have been presented
fully and passed on.
In the great New York March bliz

and O'Donnell 1B now on his way,

The Africans of the Gold Coast areas
keen at a bargain as the white traders.
Even when they become Christians
their acuteness, which Bhows itself by
adhearing to the letter rather tban to
spirit, often amnses the white mission
ary. An English missionary relates, in
bis "Nine Years at the Gold Coast,"
that one Sunday he drew his Bible class
to St. I'anl'B exhortation in Ephesians,
husbands respecting the treatment of
their wives. "But, sir," said a negro,
who thought the Apostle too gallant,
A Mandlngo woman will not think
that her husband loves her unlera he
fiogs her now and then." Another mis
sionary remonstrated with a Christian
negro, for whipping his wife. "Do not
I read," retorted the negro, "that 'whom
the Lord, loveth he chasteneth?' Do I
not love my wife?"
Damp articles of clothing, particu
larly wet shoes and stockings, are prob
ably among the best friends that doctors
and druggists ever had. A common
cause of taking cold Is the laying aside
of warm, especially of tlannel under
clothing, heavy cloth overcoats, etc.,
too early In the spring. Even after one
has been careless enough to run the risk
of taking cold, he can often escape the
ill effects of bis rashness by removing
all uamp clothes as quickly as possible,
soaking the feet for ten minutes in hot
mustard water, applying a large mus
tard plaster to his back, and covering
up well with blankets in a warm room,
so as to produce free perspiration. The
flow of perspiration from the skin, un
der such circumstances, is much pro
moted by drinking one or two cupB of
hot tea, for example, chamomile orbon
t, and such home remedies, if
thoroughly, and, above ail, promptly
applied, will often prevent a serious 111-

executive of a mighty nation that he
appears before the country, but as a
narrow partisan orator, jealous of the
platform and hateing the opposition.
It must be observed that never for a
moment does he assume the strong,
serene attitude of a magistrate whose
policy is based on the eternal principles
of right. He feels under the constant
necessity of bolstering with all the pres
tige of his official recommendation the
minutest detail of his official conduct.
And he is right. He knows the peo

No richer gift has autumn poured
Let other lands, exulting, glean 1.
The apple from the pine,
The ornnge from Its grossy green,
The cluster from the vine.
We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged vales bestow,
To cheer us when the storm shall drift
Our harvest-fields with snow.
Through vales of grass and meads of flowers
Our rlows their furrows made.
While on the hills the son and showers
Of changeful April played.
We dropped the seed o'er hill and plain.
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from our sprouting grain Vt"
The robber crows away.
All through the long, bright days of June
Its leaves grew green and fair,
And waved In hot midsummer's noon
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now with autumn's moonlit eves

And bear the treasure home.
There, when the snows about us drift.
And winter winds are cold,
Fair hands the broken grain shall sift,
And knead its meal of gold.
Let earth withhold hor goodly root,

Let mildew blight the rye,
Give to the worm the orchard's fruit,
The wheat-llelds to the fly.
But letthe good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod
Still let us, forhla golden corn,

Feed for the Dairy Oow.
We are satisfied that a great deal of
the dissatisfaction with dairying among
the average farmer is dne to the fact
that they do not feed their cows up to
their full capacity. The average Iowa
farmer has usually a number of cows in
the dairy that are deadbeat boarders,
and under present circumstances the
best way to
deal with them IB to feed them
all about all they will eat, getting them
up to a full feed gradually, of coutse.
Some of these cows will not give good
returns at the pail. These are the ones
to get rid of and by feeding them liber
ally and full and milking them all the
while, you will have them fit for tbe
market by the time they go dry, then
sell them. This method of full feeding
IB pretty near AB good AB the iJabcock
test and a good deal easier applied. The
market will now take all fat cows
offered at good prices, and with corn
and hay and corn stover at present
prices there is no excuse, Whatever, for
running a cow at half her capacity. Put
her on her full capacity and whether
she gives the return in milk or pounds
of gain, you are the gainer.—Wallace's
Farmer.
Bovine Xuberouioaia.
The Ohio experiment station has
made special study of bovine tuber
culosis and states that the preMnt
status of knowledge concerning tbe
disease may be summarized as follows:
1. The disease IB caused by tbe
growth within the animal tissues of a
vegetable organism, Bacillus tuber
culosis.
2. The bacterium of bovine tuber
culosis has not been specifically differ
entiated from that producing tuber
culosis In the human subject.
3. Tuberculosis is produced in the
lower animalB by inoculation with tu
berculosis material from human sub
jects.
4. Tuberculosis has been produced In
man by inoculation with the tuber
culosis material from cattle.
5. The development of tuberculosis
In human subjects has followed in BO
many caBes upon the use of the meat
or milk of tuberculosis cattle that there
is no room to doubt that the disease is
transmitted from cattle to man in this
manner.
6. That tuberculosis is a germ dis
ease, caused as surely by contagion or
Infection as are smallpox and measles,
is confirmed not only by the innumer
able cases in which it has spread
through herdB from Bingle Infected ani
mals, but also by the fact that many
herds of cattle remain exempt from It,
and this fact demonstrate* the possi
bility of entire eradication of the dis
use.
7. In view of the experience of other
states, It would seem that the rational
method of extirpating bovine tuber
culosis lies not in the wholesale and
immediate testing of all tbe cattle of
the state and the slaughter of all re
maining animals, but In such municipal
action as will control the sale of both

and meat

Water and Buttermilk,
Very few buttermakers and fewer
consumers are aware that much butter
is on the market which has been churned
and worked without the use of water to
wash out the buttermilk. There is one
factory in Colorado that is following
this plan, and its totter is meeting with
good sales and at top prices. The flav
or is fine, and the keeping qualities are
much better, so far as I have been able
to observe.—Live Stock.

Opportunity Laated.
During tbe oivil war in what was
then a pretty village of Michigan and
has since become a oity without loaing
any of its beauty lived a strapping six
footer who looked aB hard as nails,
dressed well, talked smoothly and was
set ap like a soldier. He had no meana
of support visible to the naked eye iu

he wonld make occasional trips from
which he returned with plenty of

I oookl tee the end of what
properly wa. left me, and it was not far

to do and ooboluded to deal with the
mbctitnte brokers. There was no ohance
ef masting the nqnired medical exam
InaUeMbW I took another taok. When
•ve* I visited a plaoo in my business,
I'd manage incidentally to fall in with
the tanker. Pin bettor than a raw hand
aa a jollier, and I'd aoon have some
pnataa! friends as innocent parties in
the play.

the proposition or chaff back under an
impression that I would never think of
going to war. In either case it wonld
usually come to some kind of a proposi
tion from the broker. Then the other
fallows wonld guy me. Intimate that I
was a bluffer and wonder how I was to
get out of the thing without* clear
funk.
"Here's when my fine work came in.
I'd demand a retainer, and I'd put it
high enough just to make the broker
think that I was trying to escape him.
If he wonld pay me a ipeoiiled sum
down, I wonld agree to appear at the
recruiting offloe the next day and offer
my service* but I gave notice that I
assumed no ohanoea if-they would not
have me, the broker mnst stand the
loss. The idea of my being rejected al
ways raised a langh and only tended to
oonflrm the broker in the belief that I
Was trying to enape him. When the
dootor turned me down. I went into the
dump* became nervously timid, aroused
the sympathy of those with whom I had
beoome acquainted and snapped an or
der to the disgrantled broker to keep
olear away from me.
"Tha best haul I made waa In Pitts
burg, A ooal baron there who oould not
well enlist and who had not been draft
ed wanted a representative in the army
who would make a name honorable to
that of the prlnoipal. He was after a
big, handsome, intelligent fellow of
Whom he oould be proud and put the
whole matter into the hands of a shrewd
little broker. I managed to moot him
at tbe Monongahela House, and I work
ed around to the main subjeot in the
manner I have described, but I could
see that he was sharp and did not like
to run any ohanoes.
"While he went to dinner, after
whioh we were to resume our talk, I
went out and had a short conferenoe
with a huge truckman. When I again
met the broker, that truokman insisted
on bothering us and, after showing a
proper amount of patience, I threw him
half way across the office, and he went
limping out, while all observers grew
wide eyed in their wonder. I did not
exert enough strength to throw a half
grown boy five feet, but the truckman
knew his business, and was paid f30 for
attending to It.
"That apparently oool courage and
gigantic strength removed all doubt
from the mind of the broker. I was the
man be wanted, and he wanted me
badly. I stuok out till I got *8,000 as
a 'retainer,' and then was rejeoted. I
felt like giving the money back when
tbe millionaire came around to condole
with me and tell how disappoiutod he
was iu not having me for a substitute,
bnt I didn't. It would have been an ad
mission that I was not in a legitimate
line of business."—Detroit Free Presa
