Mr. Carnegie gave away four millions last year. That is at f he rate of about ftf a minute, ilow many minutes would you Lie good for? . Of course, Mr. Harnisworth had an easy job in trying to reform one of the .New lork yellow journals. Nearly any change would be an improvement on one of them. Else- where, things are different.

In- ' , . . 1 , owner, during four vea rs past, has . . , ' not opened or siiavtxi anyone on Sunday, we nave too many laws now. Why don't the barber com- mission enforce the law now on the books'.'

There is a lot of nuisauce printed nowadays about Kx-President Har rison's resentment toward the ad ministration for turning his son out of office.

How much inilu- ence is a senator likely to command in administration circles who bids for the senatorship by publicly an- nouncing his opposition to the pet measures of the administration? Dalles Chronicle. It is reported from Sweden and Norway that great prosperity has been brought about there by the money sent home as Christmas gifts by immigrants in this country. This, if true, jives some idea of the scale on which American prosperity has been working. ft ft ft A noted physician has stated that kerosine oil as refined by modern methods, developes a deadly gas if the lamp is turned down low, and may be fatal to children.

Pla!na that his "standing as a gen- 4 tleman" gave him the right to sell Dear Kitchener, don't you find it again anything that he had bought a somewhat different thing to shoot even though he did not pay the down unarmed savages who charge a British square with spears and to defeat Dutchmen who let you do the charging? , -Lcl torn of Mm carping ot the merwncry iubaidiied jroi ol Ore gon bo compared with Mio following heartfelt encoiulum from the Nation al Tribune, the tif.nJ Army organ rmblisheJ at Washington D.

Tho extraordinary period of good will, with whic'n this session of Congress begun, and which lasted until tho holiday reoess, has gone glimmering Into tho Umbo of the past Representative Mttlcfleld f Me., who has tho knack of creating a furore every time be speaks, got into a personal altercation with Representative Hopkins of III., tlx author of the committee reajor ttonment hill, which will reduce Maine's representatives by one, and they swapped such epithets as "pet tifogger" and "critninrl," while acting Speaker Dahell rapped for order and the llouso uproarously applauded or jeered. Mr. Little- Held favors the Burleigh hill, whlc which will reduce tho reprcsontati on of none of the slates and whi is giving the committee hill a hun fight. As no party question is in volved, the debate will continue in the House until tho majority orders the previous question, The su porters of both bills are claiming a majority, but it is not clear at this lime which really has it. The old, old question of tho res jKcUve power of the Kxtcutlve and Legislative branches of the govern meut has caused strained relations between the administration and numlx'rof Senators, owing to the refusal of the Secretary of War to furnish iho Senate avopy of a re ii t on Cuban ilnancos by an expert accountant. A resolution practi cally censuring the administration for the refusal has U-eil offered but it will hardly bo adopted as tl majority is In accord with the at ministration in other matters. The debate in tho Senate on the Army Ueorgunuatjon bill wide will probably lie paused this week has brought out one srViklng truth that this government is u against a hard proHsUion in the Philippinec, and that pacification is much further than official state ments have led the country to suj pose. The cruiser Haiti more, which fig ured so creditably iu the battle of Manila bay, and which has Ix-en lying at the New York Navy Yard since its return from the Phili pines, is to lie reconstructed at cost of $500,000 and to bo given new battery of six inch guns. This decision has just been reached by the Naval Board of Construction It will take about a year and a ha to do the work. There was quite a race for the honor of making the first applica tion for a V, S. patent in the twon tiuth century. It was won by I)r, Calvin J. Pollocsj, of Kirkville, Mo who was wise enough to employ C A. Snow aCo., tho wide awake firm of Patent lawyers. The report of the River and liar bor bill says that though the am otirit appropriated is large-fVJ U&V115, appropriations were made only when justified by the require ments of navigation, and to pre- injury to unhmslitxl work. points out that the total number of projects provided fur is 405, which 232 are rivers and 1M bar bors, and that these projects were selected from improvements upon which estimates had been made by u. n.

Hearings on the oleotnargerlne bill are going on More the senate committee on agriculture, and some very plain talking is being indul ged in, especially by the supporters of the bill. For instance, Dairy Commissioner Itlackbum ol Ohio, told the commit teo that he found it almost impossible to successfully infractions of the oleomargerinc law In the large cities of Ohio lie cause of tho Influence of tho oleo niArgeriiie dealers with the press and because of their solicitation of jurymen. Tho opponents of the bill are also quite aggressive. One of them H. C. Plrrung, of Colum bus, Ohio boldly took tho ground that the so called natural butter is nothing less than a manufactured product. It Is regarded as practi cally certain that the bill will be favorably reported io the senate, but there is a wide difference of opinion as to whether It will bo voted upon at this session. If not, all the work done in getting it through tho House will have to lie done over again at the next C ong ress. Senator McConias, who belong ing tth opposition party can sjeak without prejudice, said on a. suhjift thai Is being much lliscus mc) in political circles: "Hryan is lan able man with much magnetic and mental force and he is certain always to have a following of some magnitude. Beyond all mere pol itical Wliefs, however, Bryan is a Socialist. Anyone who has studied the growth of Socialism in Kurope, has seen it take positive hold of Germany anil Belgium ami France, has watched its progress in Eng land, where it has developed to a tb'gree which interferes with British commercial supremacy, must real 1u that the day is not far distant when "oeialism will sweep through the U. S When that day cmnes, Bryan wil! he tho great socialistic leader. He will have followers fiom the republican ai well as the democratic and populist parties, and if hard times comes, arousing envy and jealousy, Hryan would le a dangerous candidate, This, in my judgement, is to Bryan's future to become the great socialistic leader of the United States." Professor F. H. Parsons, of Bos ton, presented arguments before the Industrial Commission in favor of povernment ownership of all transportation facilities, and in fact of all public utilities. He said rail mads bttd reduced through rates, but there had been scarcely any reduction in local rates in too last thirty years. , A majority of the House showed their lack of sympathy with tho race discussion that began as soon as Representative Olmslead of Pa., seriously tried to push bis resolu tion providing for an investigation of the restriction of srffrago in tho Southern stales U-fore disposing of of tho reapportionment bill, by voting to send the resolution to a committee, to die. lbo leaders on houi sides were taken by surprise and helped to get the tronblebome question out of the way as speedily as possible. The IniHirtitnee of a (JoimI Anima ,1 There is one thing dairy farmers very much neglect and that is to cull their herd of unprofitable cows This is one of the foundation prin ciples of success.

Then, again, good cows are becoming disabled am should be disposed of,' for no man can attorcl to he pouring expensive ed into cows that do not irulko U profitable return for it. A study of the tables prepared' of the 100 herds in Jefferson county, Wisconsin, whose census was taken ust summer by Mr. Goodrich, and tho 100 herds in Iowa whose census was taken by Mr. Frank Kinsley, show clearly how farmers are losing monoy by their strange indiffer- enco to the qi alily of their cows, They groan over hard lime, and many curse everything, from their grub to their government, when the enemy thet is all the timo digging tho ground from under their feet, is their own foolish indifference. In a letter to a late number of tho Country Gentleman, Mr. F. K. Dawley, tho eflicient superintendent of the New York Farm Institute, says: "MoBt of our New York farmers have had a fair year, find if we arc careful to winter only valuable ani mals, capable of turning the high prices hay and other fodder to good account, we shall come up to April 5th in good shape." Whether each farmer has such animals in the future will depend on himself nlone.

Mr. Duwley's doctrine applies just as well in California, Wiscon sin or Georgia as it does In New York. It means to slop this enor mous waste of feeding and keeping poor cows for dairy uses. The re form cannot come all at once, but thii resolution and the Itegiuniug to it; III execution can and must In-gin at once, if ever reform lakes place. The enormous amounts of money lost by dairy farmers of this coun ty, through poor, unfit cows for dairy purposes, is indeed lyond all compulation.
