I TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, December 25, 1902 AW ABBREVIATED SNOWSTORM SOAP IW THE GINGERBREAD. Methods of Milking. SWEATBOX CONFESSIONS. Methods of milking have much in fluence on the quality of milk given by the cow, and some think that a faulty method «also effects the proportion of butter fat in the milk. At a recent meet ing of the British Dairy association the subject was discussed and an interesting paper was read by Mr. McConnell on the subject. He described the “stripping” method as that in w hich the fingers are forcibly drawn down the teat and the milk squirted out, sometimes with energy, as if the milker was drawing the milk down from the very horns of the cow. If the teats are scratched in the least or chapped this rough process opens and keeps irritated the broken skin, so that there will l»e considerable soreness—inevitably resulting in a de- creased yield. The “ squeezing’’ method is much better. The operator grasps the teat and—the arms and elbows never moving—squeezes it only, without pulling, and the stream is started from one teat before stopping to take a new hold at the other. The principal superi ority of this method lies in the fact that it deals gently with the teat, so that where there is a tendency to soreness the sores are not reopened, and thus the animal stands more quietly during the operation. Sores heal up more quickly, new ones are not formed, and conse quently the animal will be a better milker. A cow that could hardly be made to submit to the former method may stand quietly during the latter. A Pr.Aaet o> th. Mala* r»r..t Whlah I. HeaarA.A hr th. Lwaabavaaea a.

AMERICAN ARISTOCRACY. The tew enormously wealthy Amer ican families of which the head en joys an asaured annual income of more than $1,(HX),O<X) may be regard ed as representing in the American republic what the “royalties” repre sent in England, says Ainslee's Maga zine. Popular phraseology, indeed, gives them, with unconscious fitness, quasi-royal titles in styling thein- “oil king»,'* “money kings” and min ing kings." Most of them live as few real king* can afford to live, and they receive from their immediate en tourage something of the obsequious deference which in monarchial lands is given to those who are of the roy al blood. Coming down a grade, we have the somewhat larger group of those whose incomes range from $1,- 000,000 down to $100,000. These indi viduals, as a class, are equivalent of the British peerage—the $900,000 magnate having, let us say, the rela tive rank of a duke, while the other» represent a descending scale of dig nity and are respectively the equals of marquises, earls, viscounts and barons. Then come what we may style in British terminology the “up per middle classes**—persons with incomes ranging from $100,000 to <20,000. Social classification ends with the final group of families whom we may collectively describe as the “lower middle classes," having in- comes of not more than <20,000 and not less than $5,000. PLAIN ENGLISH WANTBD. ta "There’s a physician in my town,” said a Cincinnati Drummer to a re porter for the New York Herald, “who has a son whom he is instructing in the rudiments of the profession, blit just at present the young fellow is thinking of a great many things not down in ths books. He ha* a lot of rapid young companions of the slangj sort, and he is master of them all. In deed, his language is at times so ut terly modern as to be almost unintel ligible to the old-fashioned people who learned their language out of Web ster’s dictionary. The other «lay a patient was brought into the doctor's offlc« and the son happened to be pres ent. •• ’The man is suffering from mania * potu,’ said ths doctor after a brief examination. •• ’What was that?* Inquired the son. with an avid«nt effort to catch the meaning. ” ‘Mania a potu —delirium tremens.’ repeated the doctor. •’ Oh,’ commented the youngster, •you mean the Jim jams, the d. t.’s, the delirious trimming*, the fotemagina, do you? 1 suppose I’ll get next to this medical racket before the finish, but until I do I wish you would talk plain English for my benefit, dad.*” Volcaalc ■ra»tloaa th« Mom. Messrs. l«oewy and Puisaux, of the Paris observatory, in ¡»suing some ad ditional plate» of their photographic atlas of the moon, refer to the recent %olctvnic cataclysm at Martinique and St. Vincent, and say that study of the lunar surface lead« them to think that eruptions, quite as intense as the greatest recorded on the earth have .nTurred oo the moon, repeated at long intervals in the aims places, lhit. ‘ favored by a condition of calm and dryness, they have been more durable in their effects, and the more recent deposits superposed upon the earlier ones are distinguishable by their dark er tone and less extended boundary.” < blawse Popolati««.

His fig ures are taken from 50 cities, and show an average slight increase over the ratio for the preceding decade of near ly one per cent., from 15.7 to 16.6 per 100,000 population. He estimates an approximate annual mortality by sui cide of 10.000 in the country as a whole. The implied conclusion is that a fur ther increase in the rate of suicidal tendency in the cities of this country may be expected during the next dec ade, and the suicide question, like ar son in fire insurance, is thus becom ing more and more one of the utmost importance to life insurance com panies. He also gives another table showing the experience of one company for- the last 55 years, dividing it into two periods, including males only, as the female suicide statistics are too insig nificant to be tabulated. This shows a percentage of suicides in the total mor tality of 2.4 in the later as compared with 1.9 in the earlier period. The age of suicides seems also to have lessened, as the suicides under 45 increased from 2.1 per cent, to 3.9 per cent in the later period, and there was an actual de crease of those in advanced life. Ilere Is a recent court decision io the court of appeal» of the District of Columbia, West vs. United State», which shows what a violatiou of the legal right* of accused persons the so- called “sweatbox" methods of the po lice are: Where an officer, having a prisonei in custody, said to him: “You have be*n telling me a « ick of lies; now, you had better tell the truth," where upon the prisoner made a confession, it was held that the confession was in voluntary. and it was error to admit it in evidence and to submit to the jury the question whether or not it was voluntary. Under the law, as properly administered, a confession, if forced, cannot be used against a per son charged with the commission of crime. The sweatbox method of ob taining confessions to be used against the parties making them is not sanc tioned by the court. The court said that words of exhortation to a confes sion seemed often to be innocent enough, and cited the following, all of vvhkfh had been held sufficient to vitiate the confessions. “You are un der suspicion and you had better tell all you know," “it would be better for you to speak out," “You had bet ter tell the truth" and “You had as well tell all about it."

According to United States Consul Canada at Vera Cruz, trade conditions n that part of Mexico have undergone a great change % it bin the paat ten years, especially "ith respect to American shoes, in former years it tv as impos sible to buy any thing in Vera Cruz in the line of shoe leather except that of native stork and manufacture, and ready-made shoes for Americana were not to be had at all. United States shoes have, however, within a very short time made a name for themselves, and, the consul says, were it not for the excessively high prices asked for them they would sure ly drive all others out of the market. As it is, however, he adds, only the better classes can enjoy the luxury of our shoes, and the great mass of the people is debarred from that privilege. The principal obstacle to a heavier business is the high import duty and the fluctuations in the value of sil ver. The duty on the cheapest shoes is the same as on the finest productions.

One day last jear he made a ver) queer present, nothing less than a small brown baby two or three yearn old. It was the son of the great beast’s keeper, and no sooner did the elephant see it trotting along with its mother than he seized it gen tly and lifted it into the air. The next moment Lady Curzon was gazing in as tonishment upon a small brown baby clothed in a nt ring of beads. Needless to say, it descended a richer and hap pier baby. “The following story will illustrate a number of thing».’’ said the Detroit »hip owner who narrated it, “but chiefly will it «how how the value of money isrie* with the supply. “A boy was telling me of his prow ess as a swimmer.

A striking illustration of the rapidi ty with which marine architecture has developed during recent years is to be had in the case of the old Anchor liner City of Rome, which was built in 1881, and for 12 years enjoyed the distinction of being the largest At lantic steamship. She is being towed now in England to an obscure port to be broken into junk, says the Wash ington Star, It is wirt» difficulty thut one recalls the City of Rome as a holder of records of any kind, al- though when she was in her prime her name was familiar to the people on both sides of the ocean. When she was displaced from top rank in point of size by the Lucania and the Campania, in 1693, there was much marveling anti many predictions that these vessel» would for a long time hold the head of the lists. But once the era of big vessels opened it produced a rapid suc cession of “largest ships,” and during th« past five years there has been such an impetus in the steamship building line, especially in Germany, that the announcement of another monster ex cites comparatively little attention. Just at present the Oceanic and the Celtic are the largest vessels in serv ice, and alongside of them the City of Rome would seein a pygmy. MARY and HAPPY NEW YEAH to Everybody. CONTEST NOTICE.
