Isthmian War and the Canal.
The internal disturbances in Colum
bia are not endangering the Panama
programme, in the opinion of the state
department.
There seems tojbe no reason to doubt
the assurances given by the Columbian
minister that both the party of tbe gov
ernment and the party of the insur
gents want the canal and will make
any reasonable concessions In order to
secure it.
Once the necessary concessions are
secured, It will devolve upon our gov
ernment to preserve tbe peace and sup
ply police protection throughout the
conceded strip of territory traversed by
the canal.
Tbat Is tbe task which our govern
ment must assume no matter which
route is chosen, and there 1s about the
same difficulty to be anticipated In per
forming the task in one place as in an
other,
The power and prestige of the United
States will serve to preserve the peace
without any serious trouble. The Im
portant thing is to secure tbe conces
sion. We are well able to provide the
necessary safeguards both during and
after construction.
The only serious danger is tbat de
signing persons may embroil and en
tangle a too ambitious administration
wd get us into unnecessary trouble in
tbe hope of attaining unworthy private
*nds.—Chicago Chronicle.

Wanted—A Little Girl.
Where have they gono to—the little girls,
With natural manners and natural ourla,
Who love tbelr dollies and like their toys.
And talk of something besides the boys?
Little old women In plonty 1 find.
Mature in manners aurt old of mind:
Little old flirts who talk of their "beaux,"
And vie with each Other in stylish clothes.
Little old belles, who, at ulne and ten.
Are sick of plousure and tired of men
Wearv of travel, of balls, of fun,
And nod no new things under the sun.
Once, in the beautiful long ago,
Some dear little children used to know
Girls who were merry as lambs at play.
And laughed and rollicked the livelong day.
Thoy thought not at all of the style of their
clothes.
Thev never Imagined that boys were
"beaux:"
"Other girls' brothers'* and "mates" were
they.
Splendid fellows to help them play
Whore have they gone to? If you see
One of them anywhere, send her to me.
I would give a modal of purest gold
To one of thoso dear little girls of old,
With an innocent heart and an open smile,
Who knows not thn meaning of "tllrt" or
Wj
Pat Yourself in His Place.
"A new commandment I give unto
yon," said the Christ, "tdst you love
one another."
Judge Tuley, in recent addreBs be
fore the Illinois State Bar Association,
said:
"Tbe spirit of the brotherhood of hu
manity exists among the millions of af
filiated laborers as it never before exist
ed in the history of the human race,
and In many of tbe conflicts between
labor and capital, the laborers have
shown a greater heroism, greater sacri
fices and greater devotion to principle
than was ever manifested by an army
from the days of Thermopylae to the
present hour. They have evolved among
them a twelfth commandment, 'Thou
shalt not take thy brother's job,' which
to any workman Is the greatest of all
commandments."
And to this twelfth commandment
Bishop Fallows adds a thirteenth:
'Thou shalt help thy brother when
he Is in adversity,' for the greatest
strike fund in the history of organized
labor 1B at present in the bands of the
officers of the United Mine Workers."
And to these two commandments,
both justified under tbe new command
ment given by the Great Commander
of humanity, might be added a four
teenth:
"POT YOURSELF IN nis pti CE I
Noting tbe love these miners UHVtJ
for each other in pouring out for their
brothers in distress a half million dol
lars a week—dollars tbat labor can illy
spare—men of wealth ought to put
themselves in the miner's place, and
supplement tbls sacrifice by liberal giv
ing.
There is also another way In which
the wealthy and successful cant put
themBelveB in the miner's place:
Let them go down into the damp
wells In the earth, where the miners
toil for a scanty wage. Let them see
their brothers crouching under the low
roofs that hourly threaten them with
destruction.
More. Let them take their wives and
daughters and sisters to the huts where
the miner's family lives, and for which
he pays thrice what these huts are worth
in rent to the coal barons. Let them
look into these cheerless abodes, where
the wolf of hunger haunts the door.
Let tbem note tbe stunted boyB, con
demned for life to the breakers and
then to the mine,
If one-half of the world only knew
how the other half lives, there would be
a revolution of life. Justice would
walk hand In band with Mercy, Pilde
would stop to kiss her sweeter, better
sister, Humility and men everywhere
would say to one another, "My brother.'
If only you would keep the fourteenth
commandment and

Dairy Notes •$
A. man will be careless in caring for
bis milk because it is going to a factory
where some of the patrons do not take
proper care of the milk they deliver.
Instead of having them deliver milk
that has been properly cared for he lets
his standard down to theirs and the
whole output of the factory is lessened
In its value and dividends lowered—for
no buttermaker can produce A1 good
for second or third rate milk.
In the desire to get returns for their
money as quickly as possible in beef
cattle, the dairy cow will be overlooked,
and within a year so there will be a dearth
of good milkers. Then it is that the
dairy interests will have a boom. There
will be a premium for good dairy cows,
and prices for butter and milk are
bound to increase. This nearly always
follows a boom In beef cattle, but often
times not until six to twelve months
after.
Cream of different ages should not he
mixed until cool. Keep It sweet until
enough is secured for a churning, then
ripen it or sour it for churning. It
should be ripened at a temperature of
between 60 to 75 degrees, as this is a
very desirable temperature for the
growth of lactic acid germs, which form
acid and give a sour taste to tbe cream
and the flavor to the butter. Cream
Bhould not be more than four days old
when churned. Twenty-four hours is
sutllcient time for souring cream for
churning. If it is kept reasonably cool,
it will not get too sour in four days.—
Dairy and Creamery.
The Canadian Experiment station
has made quite a thorough investiga
tion concerning tbe matt.economlcal
method of feeding skim milk to pigs.
From its report we condense the follow
ing conclusions:
1. Skim milk may form the largest
part of the feed of young and growing
pigs with advantage and economy.
2. For the rattening of swine weigh
ing on the average over 100 pounds each,
live weight, it is economical to give an
allowing of skim milk not exceeding
five pounds ahead per day.
3. In every case the swine fed with
part of their ration of skim milk were
lustier, more vigorous and of a more
healthy appearance than swine fed
wholly on a ration of grain.
4. It Is seldom profitable to feed
skim milk or buttermilk alone to swine.
Farm separators are gaining popular
ity in Iowa, as is shown by the returns.
In 1898 there were 904 In tbe state in
1899, 1,702 In 1900, 3,332, and in 1901,
5,231.
While tbe farm separator has been in
creasing the creameries In tbe state
have been decreasing. In 1900 there
were 994 creameries, In 1901 only 960, a
falling off of 31 during the year.
Many a poultry raiser has failed in
the business because he had bis yards
and houses overcrowded. Good cattle
raisers do not overcrowd their pastures,
and good poultrymen do not overcrowd
their yards and houses. Give the birds
plenty of room if you want them to do
well, each bird should have one square
yard of floor space if you want them to
do well.
Some idea can be had of tbe Import
ance of tbe beet sugar industry in this
country and Its rapid development,
when it Is known tbat in 1896 there
were but six plants In tbe United States,
and last year they had increased to forty'
eight. In 1898 the production amount
ed to 32,000 tons and last year there
were 185,000 tons produced. An In
ctease of 450 per cent in three yearB.
The poultryman tbat does not pro
vide his birds wltb a good pasture or
Fupply them with green food, cannot
expect them to succeed, and he will not,
Poultry require green food, must have
It or they will not do their best, no dif
ference how choice your birds may be
unless they bave tbe green food they will
disappoint you. Every poultry man
should BOW a patch of fall rye, it makes
an excellent fall pasture and is ready
for the poultry early in the spring, It is
much better than so much grain feed
and is cheaper too, as it makes a bal
anced ration.
Gov. Hoard says: "Tbe average cost
of keeping the dglry cows in Iowa is
320.03 per year. The average net earn
ings of the COWB waB $27.79. ThiB
leaves only 81.76 for pay of labor and
interest on investment. Tbat this state
of affairs is all due to the wrong ideas
of the buBlness is, I believe, true. There
is no need of it."
Some idea of the growth of the sheep
industry in our western territories can
be gained from the conditions in Mon
tana.
The first sheep were Introduced into
Montana in 1860, and it was 1874 before
the first sheep contract waB made, the
flock numbering only 1,000. Today
Montana has over 6,171,000 sheep and
stands first in the production of wool.
In 1891 the state sold 14,000,000 pounds
of wool at an average price of 13,48
cents.—Farmers' Tribune,

VOLCANOES.
Some Facta About These Vcnta to the
Earth'a Interior Fire.
Eons n«o the enrtIt on wlilch we
live was a huge mass of "fire mist."
Astronomers tell us that today In the
henvons vt? cim see vast nebulae, sug
gesting what the earth was once.
Gradually th? surface of the "fire
mist" cooled and hardened, but the in*
terlor Is still intensely hot. Whether
it is solid, liquid or viscous we do not
know. This heat, raging miles below
the surface, at times escapes through
the hard crust by vents or volcanoes.
There are from 300 to 300 volcanoes
on the globe. This estimate Includes
merely live volcanoes which within re
cent times have beeu in uction. If we
Bhould count the many mountains scat
tered over the earth which show today
signs of volcanic action in more re
mote past, the estimate would have to
be increased by many hundreds.
Volcanoes would seem to be arranged
with more or less symmetry in belts
circling the great oceans. A ring of
fire surrounds the Pacific. Starting at
the South Shetland islands, several
hundred miles south of Cape Horn, a
belt CMC volcanoes extends tip tbe west
const South America, Central Amer
ica an£Korth America from Alaska it
crosses the Pacific along the Aleutian
islands to Kamchatka thence it fol
lows the east edge of the Pacific
through the Kurile islands, Japan, For
mosa, the Philippines, the Moluccas,
the Solomon islands, the North Heb
rides, New Zealand and finally ends

A DANGEROUS TRAITOR.
The Reanlt of Pechantrc'* Plot te
Kill the Klaff.
Prbbably uo well meaning poet was
ever more taken by surprise than was
M. Peohautre, a gentle and mild man
nered Frerch dramatist of the seven*
teenth century, who was one day ar
rested for high treason as he wan
peacefully eating his dinner at a vil
lage inu.
The landlord of the Inn where ho
was In the habit of dining discovered
on a table a piece of paper on which
were written some unintelligible
phrases and below in a plain, bold
hand, "Here I will kill the king."
The landlord consulted with the chief
of police. Clearly this clew to a con
spiracy ought to be followed up. The
person who had left the paper had al
ready been remarked for his absent
air and gleaming eye. That man was
Pechantre.
POWERFUL MECHANISM.
The Plcldnff t'p Machine Vied la
Grappling Ocean Cables.
A truly wonderful piece of mechan
ism Is the "picking up" machine used
in all gruppllng and cable hoisting op
erations. It is a powerful variety of
the steam winch family, but also a
most aristocratic and elaborate mem
ber, fitted with gear changlug clutches,
patent brakes and other ingenious ap
pliances. To give some idea of its ca
pabilities In dry figures it can at slow
speed lift twenty-five tons at the rate
of one mile au hour or at fast speed
ten tons at the rate of four miles an
hour. Moreover, it can be quickly al
tered and adapted to changing circum
stances in speed or lifting weight.
All being made ready, the big grap
nel, attached to 700 or 800 fathoms of
chain and rope, is passed over tho bow
sheave, or pulley, and us soon as It
reaches bottom the ship Is sent slowly
ahead. Back and forward across the
path of the cable, as pointed out by
the friendly marking buoys, we steam.
Several times the grapnel catches
something, only to lose its hold again,
probably an inequality upon the bot
tom, although a bosun's mate mumbles
"mermaids' grottoes," but at last comes
a steady stralu. Every soul on board
hangs over the bow, watching the
grimy grapnel rope come steadily up
and over the well oiled pulley. At
length the grapnel Itself appears, hold
ing tight on to the truant.—Llppin
cott's Magazine.
A STORY OF C/ESAR.
Vhe Quality of Mercy a* Bxerctaed
by the Great Roman.
Cresar traveled with the retinue of a
man of rank, and on his way to
Rhodes he fell in with an adventure
which may be something more than
legend. When he was crossing the
iEgcan, his vessel is said to have been
taken by pirates. They carried him
to Pharmacusa, an island off the C'a
rian coast, which was then in their pos
session, and there he was detaiucd for
six weeks with three of his attendants,
while the rest of his servants were
sent to the nearest Roman station to
raise his rausom.
The pirates treated him with polite
ness. He joined in their sports, played
games witli them, looked into their
habits and amused himself with them
as well as he could, frankly telling
them at the same time that they would
be hanged.
The ransom, a very large one, about
£10,000, was brought and paid. Ca sar
was set upon the mainland, near Mi
letus, where, without a moment's
delay, he collected some armed vessels,
returned to the islund, seized the
whole crew while they were dividing
their plunder, and took them away to
Pergamus, the seat of government in
the Asiatic province, where they were
convicted and crucified. Clemency was
not a Roman characteristic. It was
therefore noted with some surprise
that Caesar interceded to mitigate the
severity of the punlshmeut The poor
wretches were strangled before they
were stretched on their crosses aud
were spared the prolongation of their
torture.—James Anthony Froude.
SPOTTED COACH DOGS.
The llreed IIBH llecome Practically
luxdnct In Thin Country.
hat IUIH become of the old blitck
and white spotted Dalmatian dogs,
better known as "conch dogs," that
wore HO numerous ami popular
throughout the United States from
18G1) to 1882 Inclusive? The breed ap
pears to have become extinct in this
country, having, like tho Newfound
land, which has sham] tho same fate,
gone out of style and are no longer
popular. These (logs were white in
color and spotted over every part of
th« body with small black spots tho
size of a dime.
Uhey were first brought to England
from the Austrian province of Dalina
tiu, and are still popular to a certain
extent in that country, from which the
first specimens were brought to the
United States shortly after the civil
war. One of the reasons why this dog
disappeared so quickly was no doubt
the fact that he had no particular use
other than to pose as a showy animal
and to trot along by one's carriage or
coach and attract attention by his
striking color and markings. Aside
from this the Dalmatian dog was com
pletely worthless, lie could neither
hunt, servo as a watchdog, catch rats,
fight, or do anything else that other
dogs are capable of doing, and for this
reason, no doubt, he died out.—Wash

scribes the impression ut the time as
of an earthquake. The galloping
horses, the rocking mass of fieeiug buf
falo, the rumbling and quaking of the
ground under the thunderous pound
ing, were all like a violent earthquake.
The same gentleman tells how he once
saw a wounded buffalo turn on an In
dian hunter. The man's horse took
fright. Instead of darting sideways to
give him a chance to send a last finish
ing shot home the horse became wildly
unmanageable and fled. The buffalo
pursued. Off they rushed, rider and
buffalo, the Indian craning over his
horse's neck, the horse blown and
fagged and unable to gain one pace
ahead of the buffalo, the great angry
beast covered with foam, with eyes
Uke fire, pounding and pounding, closer
and closer to the hor?-» till rider and
buffalo disappeared over the horizon.

When Pechantre was shown the evi

Nero Is to be killed. It comes In here.

'Mousleur, you may finish your din
ner and your tragedy in peace," said
the chief of police, and he beat a hasty
retreat. I
this day I have wondered what
became of that Indian," said the offi
cer, "for the horse was losing and the
buffalo gaining when they went behind
the bluff." This incident illustrates a
trait seldom found In wild animals, a
persistent vlndlctlveness.—A. O. Laut3

Pome of the Peculiar Coitoma
Thla Queer Tribe.
In tbe Nellore district of tho Madras
presidency live the Vanadis, a strange
tribe, as may bo seen from a report
which has been issued by the authori
ties of the Madras government muse
um. They live in forests aud that they
are little removed from suvagery is
indicated by the absence of implement
tnl or monumental materiul, the ani
mistic nature of their religion, the
primitive hunting und fishing methods
followed by many of the tribe and the
habit of eating the almost raw fiesh
of the game they kill after slightly
heating or scorching it. They are fear*
less in catching cobras, which they
draw out of their holes without any
fear of their fangs, and it is supposed
that they protect themselves against
the effects of snake bites by swallow
ing the poison sacs of the snakes. Es
pecially singulur is tbe manner in
wEich they produce fire by friction.
For this purpose they prepare two
stocks, one short, the other long. In
the former a square cavity is made,
and it is held firmly in the ground
while the long stock is twirled rapidly
to aud fro in the hole. Instead of
charcoal powder they use rags or even
dried leaves, which they find little dif
ficulty In lighting. //.AA
THROWING THE LASSO.
The Slauner lu Which the itope la
Handled by tin Expert.
"A mistaken impression prevails in
the mind of the public iu regard to the
manner in which a lasso Is haudled,"
says an expert. "The idea that the loop
is ulways swung around the head be
fore making a cast, especially when
the roper is on foot, is erroueous. No
man of experience ever makes a cast
In this fashion from the ground in
practical work. There are several rea
sons why he does not. One of them Is
that the movement is likely to frighten
the stock, especially horses another
that he may have to wait some min
utes before a favorable opportunity
occurs for making a cast He knows
that better results are obtained by
holding tho rope as unobtrusively as
possible, even keeping it concealed
from the object of capture.
"On the contrary, however, when
mounted and in pursuit It Is absolutely
necessary to swing the loop over and
around the head, for the cast must bo
made with the greatest possible force
in order to overcome not only the for*
ward movement of the pursued, but
also the action of the wind should that
chance to be ugainst you.
"As to the manner of casting, some
'ropers' cast with quick, Jerky move
ment of the hand, seeming to uso the
arm very little aud the body not at all.
Others employ body, arm and hand.
Both methods are effective when per
fected by practice."

are like diamonds, your teeth like
pearls, your lips resemble the most glo
