The men Interested In the beet Industry believe that the new tariff will boom that Industry, and that ultimately all the raw sugar refined in-this country will be produced here. This means great profits for the tgurmete and the upbuilding of a great tndhstajfExperience has shown that by far the most favorable localities in the United States for the industry are In the arid regions where the weather s not too cold, where the land Is suitable, where there is a long period of sunshine each year, and where there is water for Irrigation. There Is no doubt that the ideal place for carrying on this Industry successfully Is in the Irrigated valleys of the arid region. There Is always water to give the plants when they need It, and the ripening and harvesting seasons in the fall are dry and the winter is mild, so that the beets can be worked up n the factories without the great etxpense of protecting them in pits. For these reasons the factories In New Mexico, for instance, can run from WO to 150 days in the year with more safety than the factories in France and Germany and In other parts of Europe or the northern parts of the United States can run 00 days. The average length of the campaign, as it is called in Europe and Nebraska, is about eighty-five to nine-, ty days. In California, owing to climatic condtions, the length of the campaign is about 120 days. In that part of the arid region most suitable for the cultivation of sugar beets there are at least 300 clear days in the year. Even two or three days of fog will take much sugar out of tbs beets. Sugar is principally carbon and oxygen. The leaves of the beets absorb these things and store them up in the heel. Beet sugar factories are at proser, established in Nebraska, and have been fairly successful. One has been estat - lished by the Mormons in Utah. ThU has been running six years, and hm been very successful. There are tw > In California, not very far from San Francises, which have been running several years", and have done well. Tl J largest of these is owned by M'. Sprockets and his friends, and it has been very profitable. It produces raw or unrefined sugar which it sells to thi American Sugar Refining Company in San Francisco. At Clino, Cal., there is a very large plant capable of working 1.000 tons of beets daily. There is a factory in Pecos Valley, N. M., which was completed in November. 189G, and has been very successful for a first

year.

Sugar beets cannot be raised by careless farming. The proper seed must be provided. The land must be of the proper quality and all the work must be done with the greatest care. It usually requires two or three years for the intelligent cultivator to produce s maximum crop, but after the farmer gets used to it there is no trouble id producing the right kind of beets under proper natural conditions. It will be only a short time before our farmers are as w-dl able to do it properly as they are able in r ranee and Germany. So far as the profits of the business are concerned the fundamental thing is to get beets rich in sugar and not con laminated with deleterious salts which ruinously interfere with the manufacture of raw sugar. For In stance, a factory capable of working 100.000 tons of beets in a season or campaign and using beets running 16 per cent, in sugar, could make a profit of 20 per cent, on the Investment, where the same factory working on 14 per cent, beets would make nothing The factory working on 16 per cent beets would get 2,000 tons more sugar than it would working on 14 per cent beets, and at practically the same cost The 2,000 extra tons of sugar would be worth at least $160,000. The cultivation of sugar beets In the proper localities Is extremely profitable to the farmer In the Pecos valley. They receive $4 a ton for beets running 14

city streets.

Even the plain linen and homespun gowns are now made with a certain Lilian look mid finish that makes them quite different from what linen gowns used to be. One charming costume of the roughest homespun is made with ekirt trimmed with perpendicular lines of flat while braid, arranged in graduated lengths. The waist, a loose b,louse, belted t|i with a black leather belt, is open in front to show it vest of bright orange velvet, embroidered in white. It is this vest which gives the marked color that transforms the gown Into a distinctive fashion. A gown of inexpensive gray cashmere Is made witli a blouse front to the waist, below a tucked yoke of yellow ’silk. On the front of the waist is a pattern of true lovers' knots, made of narrow black and white ribbons, stitched down on both edges to look like braid. The same trimming is on the skirt in a larger device, and the' black ami white against the pale gray Is extremely smart. The brilliant reds and purples of the early spring have been greatly toned down by ilie advance of the season, mid the gowns now seen made In those colorings are of the most delicate shades, but for fear thev might seem too vague and indefinite, some bright contrasting ribbons or trimmings are used, or perhaps black or white. An accordion plaited gown of cerise taffeta has no other trimming than a sash and collar of black velvet, and the black gives the necessary eccentric touch thai makes the smart look considered so desirable. With a heliotrope muslin the bright yellow sash and collar are in sharp enough contrast to he most satisfactory, while on a brown canvas a full vest of bright orange Jaffeta Is singularly effective.

There stands magnitude, giving the instant impression of a power above man; grandeur, that defies decay, antiquity, that tells of ages unnumbered, beauty, which the touch of time makes more beautiful; use, exhaustless for the service of man; strength, imperishable as the globe—the monument ol eternity, the truest emblem of that everlasting and unchangeable, irresistibly Majesty, by whom and for whom

A and goes rushing A'*- down the street.

What is often than an epileptic fit of giddiness brought and lack of oppor-

tunity to obtain water, ending, if left alone, In a fainting fit, is changed into real madness by the senseless cry of “mad dog” raised by persons who know nothing about animal ailments. From the statements of John P. Haines of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in the July number of Our Animal Friends, reiterated and indorsed by the editor of that journal, it appears that the popular Idea about canine madness is by no means the correct one. He says in part: “1. It is supposed that a mad dog dreads water. It is not so. The mad dog is very likely to plunge his head to the eyes in water, though he cannot swallow it and laps it with difficulty. 2. It is supposed that a mad dog runs about with evidence of intense excitement. It is not so. The mad dog never runs about in agitation; he never gieilops; he is always alone, usually in a strange place, where he jogs slowly along. If he is approached by dog or man, he shows no signs of excitement, but when the dog or man is near enough he snaps, and resumes his solitary trot. 3. If a dog barks, yelps, whines or growls that dog is not mad. The only sound a mad dog is ever known to omit is a hoarse howl, and that but seldom. Even blows will not extort an outcry from a mad dog. Therefore, if any dog, under any circumstances,utters any other sound than that of a hoarse howl, that dog is not mad. 4. It is supposed that the mad dog froths at the mouth. It is not so. If a dog's jaws are covered or flecked with white froth, that dog is not mad. The surest of all signs that a dog is mad is a thick and ropy brown mucus clinging to his lips, which he often tries vainly to tear away with his paws, or to wash away with water. 5. If your own dog is bitten by any other dog. watch him carefully. If he is infected by rabies, you will discover signs of it possibly from six to ten days. Then he will be restless, often getting up only to lie down again, changing his position impatiently,turning from side to side, and constantly licking or scratching some particular part of his head, limbs or body. He will be irritable and inclined to dash at other animals, and he will sometimes snap at objects which he imagines to be near him. He will be excessively thirsty, lapping water eagerly and often. Then there will be glandular swellings about his jaws and throat, and he will vainly endeavor to rid himself of a thick, ropy mucus discharge from his mouth and throat. If he can, be will probably stray away from home and trot slowly and mournfully along tjje highway or across country, meddling with neither man nor beast, unless they approach him, and then giving a single snap. The only exception to his behavior occurs in ferocious dogs which, during the earlier stages of the excitement, may attack any living object in sight. These symtoms of rallies are condensed from valuable information received from physicians of undoubted authority. What is to be done if you happen to be bitten by a dog that is supposed to be rabid? The best thing you can do is just to take a few vapor baths, as hot as you can bear them. The perspiration will eliminate any poison that, the bite may have introduced into your system. Then endeavor to forget all about it. If you follow this simple advice, the chances are incalculably great that you will be perfectly safe. But is there such a thing as rabies and such a thing as a mad dog? Undoubtedly there is, though I have never seen one. In the thirty years since the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animalli was established, our officers and agents have been constantly on the outlook, but no undoubted case has ever [ fallen under their observation, or withj in their knowledge; and, of over 160,000 dogs and other stflall animals which have been cared for at our shelter during the past three years, not one singla case of rabies has been found. The facts sufficiently prove that rabies is rare in this city and in the state( Boston, Mass.); hut there Is such a disease, and it is important for the public, as well as yourseM, that you should know whether a sick dog is or is not rabid." Mr. Haines further says that dogs are no more liable to rabies in July and August than in any other two months. There are, however, many things la summer which tend to make dogs more irritable than in winter, and consequently more liable to snap at persons interfering with them. Flies Irritate them sometimes beyond endurance. The sting of a wasp is enough to make them tear down the street In an alarming manner, and worms frequently bring on fits. But the most fruitful source of evil is the terror inspired by bands of unthinking boys who delight in goading animals to desperation. The prop-

er course for an owner to pursue when there is any question of his dog's saneness is to allow the animal to run in' to some cool enclosed place and watch him carefully. Thousands of dogs have been shot as mad when they were onlv suffering from fits. W'ith stray curs it is different; there Is no reason why any chances should be taken with them but the person who essays to kill theni should be careful to see that the work is carefully and mercifully done. \ possibly mad dog is bad enough, but & wounded dog in the same condition is ten times as dangerous. Above all things, don't get excited. WHAT THE LAW DECIDES. An apportionment between life tenants and remaindermen is allowed in Greene vs. Greene (R. I.), 35 L. r, \ 790, where a portion of a trust fund is recovered after the loss of a part of it, so as to make an allowance to the life tenants for the loss of income during the time the estate was in course of settlement. The amount apportionable to the life tenants for such loss of Income is held to be the interest on the sum which at Interest will produce the amount recovered. The time when a municipal debt comes into existence, and not the time when it Is due, is held, in Laporte vs. Gamewell Fire Alarm Telegraph company (Ind.), 35 L. R. A. C86, to be the time which must be considered in applying the rule of limitation of indebtedness. If the city has already reached the limit a contract payable in installments must be one in which the current revenues will pay as fast as the indebtedness comes into existence, together with other expenses to which the city is liable. The duty of furnishing a separate passenger train for passengers only, and not for freight and passengers together, is held, in people ex rel. Cantrell vs. St. Louis, A. & T. H. U. Co, (111.), 35 L. R. A. 656, to be implied in the duty of a railroad company to furnish necessary rolling mock snd equipment for the suitable operation of the road. The sufficiency of earnings to Justify the expense of such a train Is held to depend on the earnings of the entire system, and not of the mere branch over which the train is to run. In determining the taxable value of a railroad. It is held, in state vs. Virginia & T. R. Co. 'Ney.), 35 L. R. A. 759, that the earning Capacity is the main consideration, though perhaps not the only one, where the road could be replaced for less than its original cost. It ia also held tlat prospective improvements to affect the value must be more than possibilities and so pertain that a business men purchasing the road would take them into consideration. Also that the cost of replacing a worn-out wooden bridge is properly charged to expense account in determining the Income as an element of a tax assessment and that if a steel bridge is made instead only ths difference between the two should he charged to construction account. A photograph of the scene of an accident is held, in Dederichs vs. Salt I-ake City R. Co. (Utah), 35 L. R. A. 802, to be admissible in evidence to aid the understanding of the facts. But in Hampton vs. Norfolk & W. R. Co. (N. C.), 35 L. R. A. 808, a photograph of a place is held inadmissible on the question of the existence or nonexistence of a path at a certain time if the picture was taken two years later, after the situation had changed, and a map made near the time was already in evidence. With these cases are reviewed the other authorities on the use of photographs in evidence.

Not Muoh ItiHuenre. As Senator Stowart, the patriarchal silver orator and bicycle rider, was ons day passing through one of the small parks of Washington he met a lady who is engaged in performing heroic work for the independence of Cuba. In the course of a brief conversation the lady asked the senator if he did not think President McKinley would soon do something toward terminating the rebellion. Receiving a negative reply, she expressed considerable surprise and said: “Why, it looks to me as if this administration should take some action! Everybody has expected great things from Mr. McKinley in the direction of freeing Cuba. You do not mean to tell me that he has lost all Interest In the matter?” “No,” said the senator, "it Is not that. But, mortifying as the confession is, the truth must be told. As a matter of plain fact Mr. McKinley has but very little influence with the present administration, and hence there is no lAtelihood of anything definite and beneficial being done for Cuba.”
