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.

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.

In th» Spectator, an insurance jour
nal, the statistician of an insurance
company gives an analysis of the sui
cide record for the year 1901. 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.
Lady Curzon, too. has one distinc
tion that is unique. She is the possessor
of more eiepbauts than any other An
glo-Saxon or European in the world,
for more than one of her dusky ad
mirers has cent her ladyship an ele
phant, sometimes two, says London
Household Words. One of these is an
mmense creature with the kind of
.vonderfid -agucity about w hich we all
> ead in school readers in the days of
our youth. Its unwieldy form, with
Lady Curzon in a white and gold how-
dah on ii* back, is often to be seen in
the native bazaars, and when the beast
sees anything for which it has a fanrv
(hat article is promptly handed upto
its mistress. 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.

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.
