The churches are said to be the most conspicuous buildings in Cuba.

"Self govern ment" is a new term for military oc cupation, and the credit of its invention belongs to the secretary of war. Phila delphia N. American. Election being over, the plum hunters in congress feel free to display to the full the audacity of their appetite for appropriations. The delayed river and harbor bill, which is to be rushed through like a jam of logB in a river current, carries $602000,000, about 323 000,000 for immediate use and the re mainder in continuing contracts. It is no wonder that the senate is holding back the bill reducing the war taxes. It is much easier, aB Colonel Grant said, to handle a Burplus than a deficit. Even the organs friendly to President McKinley are forced to condemn in un sparing terms the impropriety of the ex tension of presidential favors to the sons of two justices of the su preme court while that body is consider ing a case of the most vital importance to President McKinley. The act casts an apparent imputation on two mem bers of the court, which is as undeserv ed as it is disgusting to the American people that such an act cjuld be per formed.—Utica N. Y. Observer. England is expressing great indigna tion againBt De Wet because be is re ported to have puniBhed certain alleged peace envoys who were captured and taken to the Boer camp. It will be re called that the English denounced us as barbarians when General Washington executed Andre as a spy, although it was all right for the BritilS io.bang Nathan Hale. It is very probable that when the fnil facts are known, ailthough, doubtless, every attempt will be made to conceal them, it will be found these alleged peace envoys were spies and in vited their fate under the recognized laws of war.— Des Uoines Leader. Berlin has conceived a novel plan of furthering the right developement of children. This provides for the inter change of city and country children. Thus the poorer classes of Berlin,' who cannot afford family outings, are en abled to send their children to the coun try, and in exchange they receive tho childreu from the country home, who are thus provided with the liberal edu cation town life affords. Keciprocal selfish interest in their own prompts considerate treatment of the visiting children in each home. The plan works so successfully the intention now is to extend it and make it international, es tablishing an exchange of children be' between different countries. The only opposition to the 860,000,000 River and Harbor grab in Congress, Bays the N. Y. World,comes from mem bers who think they are not getting their share of the "pork." Most of these live unfortunately in StateB that have neither harbors nor river that are navigable within any rational meaning of the word "commerce." But this un pleasant fact does not modify in the least their appetite for a slice of the f&t appropriation.

Iowa, waB made for the poor thing but without success and the owner felt sure that tabby must have died of suffocation, if not of starvation, when Bhe was found—alive but very weak-in a wood cellar. There bad been a course of .medical lectures in the place, and Tabby's mistress gave this account of the matter: PUBS "had performed ^tracheotomy, neatly slraving off a circular patch of hair on her throat, and cutting the windpipe-oh! wonderful animal below the part where the bone Btlll stuck." Puss "was breathing when found, through the orifice that she had herself made." The happy owner now easily removed the bone "treated the wound antiseptlcally," BB she said, and nurBed the cat' back to health. To tell that her pet had merely scratched her self to pieces, in her pain and breath" lessness, would have simply been to arouse the woman's contempt fur the speaker for, "why was there not torn skin above the place of the fishbone. Why was all done with the artof a train ed Burgeon?" she would have asked. Load(»M»m If you're soro •V To the core, with aching bonos, Ami husky tones When you speak,& arc weak -A In tho knees.

Feed them grain nine months of the year. Give them plenty of pure waters, and salt them every day, Be regular in attending them and keep in a good warm stable in "winter. Always be kind and quiet with your cows, as you very seldom see a kicking cow conquer ed by kicking back at her. Be sure that your milk goes where you get good •returns,. Keep yggvfasm well fenced anu you will not hafe unruly cows. Keep good roofa on all your buildings and as you can see that all other repuirs are looked after. Keep a year's wood cut ahEad. That gives you dry wood to burn all the time, which is economy and besides makes home more pleas ant. Keep as many (jiorseB as you can make use ofn the fa?m. Be sure to have a gentle one safe for your wife to drive. Care for them the same as you do othy stock. Do not distress them with check rein, blinders, or overload ing. Your horse has the same right to be happy at his wo,rk that you have. Unkindness to dumb animals is a certain mark of cowardice and igno-' ranee. Itaise such crops as are adapted to your land. Set out a good variety of fruit trees, such as apples, pears, plums and cherries. Have a little patch well fenced in for berry bushes of all kinds. Set out some shade trees. Keep all loose things picked-up around your buildings. Sow plenty of wood aBhes on your lawn, which will result in a good thick sod and keep it well mowed with a lawn mower. See that the stones are kept out of the rOad in front of your house anyway, and as far as your farm reaches if you can, and you will have a place that people will admire as they pa^B by.—O. J. Farmer. Boraoic Acid in MilK. The supreme court of Iowa recently announced a decision in a case appeal ed from Polk County which is of very considerable interest to our reiders, and especially those who sell milk for hu man consumption. A farmer near Des Moines was furnishing milk for city consumption and made use during the summer season of a small amount of boraclc acid to keep the milk sweet. There was no intentional deception in the matter, as hu told some of bis cus tomers at least, that a small amount of boracic acid was used. This' would "promote the general welfare" quite as directly as squandering the public' money on sucker brooks aud mud-Bcow bayous under the pretense of "improving navigation and commerce." A beloved tabby swallowed a strong fishbone, which stuck in her throat. The cat could neither eat nor drink, and swelling of the lacerated parts soon increased so much that the poor creature WBB gasping for breath. Her miBtreBS tried to take out the bone, but it was so lirmly fixed in the throat that the attempt only tortured the cat, who lied and hid herBelf. Every possible search The case was tried, proof was furnish ed that the amount of acid actual ly used was not dangerous to health, and the lower court decided agamst the prosecution. The case was appealed to the supreme court, whicTi last week re versed the decision jof the lower court, holding that the addition of boracic acid, or any other prwervatlve, was in violation of the Iowa law. We regard this decision as a very im portaut one. While the amount of boracic acid used by the milkman, who is one of our subscribers, was not det rimental to health according to the best evidence, yet had the decision of the lower court been sustained there would be no limit to the amount of preserva tives that would be used by less con scientious dairymen. There are indi cations that othet dairymen have used formaldehyde, which is a deadly poison, There is no dilliculty whatever in keeping milk sweet by the use of these preservatives. However, in the exact proportion that the preservatives pre serveB. that is, arreBts sourness or decay, just in that proportion doeB it render the milk indigestible, even if there are no other evil effects. Milk can be kept sweet sufiiciently long for its delivery iu any kind of weather, provided it is kept cool and the utmost cleanliness is observed. It cannot be kept MANCHESTER, IOWA, WENDESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1)01 v. For chunks of Ice -.

The germs which cause souring do not mul tiply rapidly at a temperature under fif ty, nor do they multiply with great rap idity at fifty, or even sixty, provided the utmost cleanliness is observed. The decision of the supreme court will, therefore, tend not merely to keep temptation away from the milkmen, but will also do much to promote the greatest possible cleanliness in connec tion with dairy barns and milkhouses and reduce very considerably the sick ness and mortality liable to occur dur ing the hot weather among infants and people of delicate health who use milk from the dairymen in the cities.—Wal lace's Farmer. Farm Separators, Butter makers kick on farm separa tors, says The Northwest Farmer. Some of the butter makers are making a live ly kick against the introduction of the farm separator. They might as well kick against a stone wall, for kicking will not stop its coming. There is only one thing that will check i^s rapid intro duction, and that is better skimmilk from the creamery. Farmers are get ting more and more determined to raise good calves, and they propose to do this with separator skimmilk.If the butter makers don't clean up their pump?, pipes and tanks and give the skimmilk a thorough pasteurizing, the farmer is certain to lend an attentive ear to the farm separator agent, a separator will be installed on trial and you can count on its staying. It will then be too late to protest, for after a farmer pays S100 for a separator he is quite apt to find a factory that will take his cream. Dairy men of experience have found that the best of calves can be raised on good separator milk, and every intelligent butter maker knows how to return it in good condition. A Suggestion. There is one way in which the dairy men can save themselves from the com petition they complain of trom the man ufacturers of oleomargarine and reno vated butter if all will unite in making the necessary effort, and we know of but the one way, says The American Cultivator. When ail will make butter that is better than the imitation article and will handle it so that it needs no renovation, then they will force the renovators out of business and oblige the manufacturers of oleo to sell their product for what it really is—a clieup Imitation of genuine butter that may hive its legitimate use in supplying a class who must obtain a cheap article or abstaln entirely and,aiao^for Aije on shipboard or in warm cllm'a)^,' wfrere' butter quickly becomes rancid. For these purposes nearly all of the marga rine exported as such from this country is now taken. Of the more thin 3,000, 000 pounds of imitation butter exported during the first nine months of the year, or our usual annual exports of over $4,000,000 worth, the greater part went to Central America and the West India islands, though Hawaii has lately be come a pretty customer. Here both conditions prevail—a climate which soon causes good butter to become ran cid and a large class who need to buy cheaply. SUITS OF ARMOR. Th« l.nnl Battle In Which They Wen Worn by Euroiieuu Soldiers. The last oecuBiou, it is believed, on which suits of armor were worn in bat tle by European soldiers was In 1790. Th# incident, according to chroniclers of yie Napoleonic wars, took place in tliat year, when a small Freueli force, was holding the little fort at Aquilla In the Abruzzi against a rising of the hostile-peasantry of the district. The French were not strong enough to light their way through the lines of their opponents, who outnumbered them 20 to 1,"while, iis the latter had no guns, the Frenchmen could hold their position with contidencc. There were, however, left on the space lying between tho opposing forces some dozen or so guns which the beleaguered had not been able to take with them into the fort. An attempt was made by the besieg ers to remove these guns by means of a long rope worked by a capstan plac ed in a house a short distance away, an$, though their lirst endeavors re sulted in failure, the French realized that the ultimate capture of the ord nance would seriously jeopardize the chances of the fort holding out. The uecesslty of spiking the guns was apparent, but a sortie in the face of the overwhelming musketry tire of the insurgents was out of the question. At this juncture an idea occurred to an artillery otllcer. He remembered hav ing uoticed, In making nu inspection of the magazine, some old plate armor, $tnd, selecting from the best preserved 12 suits, he determined to try whether they would not afford sullieleiU protee- tion for his men to attempt to work un dpr cover of their own guns. Twelve stalwarts, therefore, marched out clad iu this euiubrous, unaccustom ed accouternuHit, taking with them the necessary tools, and succeeded iu :exe 'cutlng their purpose under a hail of bullets from the besiegers. THE CRIMEAN WAR. It Was Started In a Controversy Over a Door Key. As an instance of what greut events can follow trivial happenings the genesis of tho Crimean war is Inter esting. In 1851 Louis Napoleou demanded of the sultan that the Latin monks should have a key ,to the great door of the church at Bethlehem that they should have a key to*eaeli of the doors of the Cave to the Nativity aud the privilege of setting oup taore a silver star bear ing the arms of'France. After a year of arduous negotiation the Turkish government yielded, and in February, 1S33, the keys were band ed over to the Latiu monks, and the silver star was established in the sanc tuary of Bethlehem. at a high temperature, nor if every precau tion it- not takaft to decrease th« Unfortunately Emperor Nicholas, as Mtl ot_£be OrMk ahttvob. wuid«nd tills an Infringement of his rights aud Immediately ordered loO.OOO meu across the Turkish frontier. At the same time he demnuded that the claius of the Christian population of Turkey should be secured by treaty with himself, but the sultau refused this, with the support of France, Aus tria and Prussia. The czar thou proceeded to seize the Danubiau provinces, proclaiming at the same time that he had "no intention to commence war." The central European countries at tempted to secure a compromise, but neither party would agree to their mediation,, and in October the sultan declared war. England and France joined him, and so from such slight beginnings sprang the most merciless, bloody aud fruit less struggle of (lie nineteenth cen tury.—New York Journal. Tee-tei-total.
