A writer in the Critic has discovered %hy the author of that old-time fa­ vorite of the school readers, ."The "Burial of Sir John Moore," never suc­ ceeded in writing any other poem which was considered worth printing., It .appears that "The Burial of Sir John Moore" is nothing but a transla­ tion from the French of a poem by Lally-Tollendal, an officer of the French army, who wrote the poem after the {death Q,f a felldw soldier. Here are two stanzas from the French f>oem: JQ le son de tambour, * • • nl la marche funebre. • • * I ».

Charles Wolfe sim­ ply appropriated to his own use the 'work of the French poet, put a new title on it, and thus instead of dying unknown beyond the boundaries of his little parish made his name familiar to all English-speaking people. It was * .master stroke on the part of Rev. Charles. The Critic's investigator ap­ pears to have been unable to discover where Lally-Tollendal stole the poem.

The waiter without his napkin? Im­ possible, declares Boniface" One night as well imagine the table with- «ot a tablecloth. The waiter has car- tied a napkin ever since he donned lilack and, white, and therefore it is unseemly, barbaric to think of his ap- paring at table without the fluttering «ad obsequious linen.

There may be other napkins, but the waiter is not an aesthete. Were he an aesthete he would not be a wait­ er. He does not remember to change Up napkin. He uses it indiscriminate­ ly! The only cure is to take it away from him, and keep things clean as a Matter of course. The speck of dust which the waiter removes with such grave and elegant circumspection has no biUiness to be where he finds it.

They have been ry"S leveling the forests and converting t . them into money. Now they have ar- rived at the point where they can con- fc'-v celve that soon there will be no more $'f; j R»t primeval forests to cut down. The lumbermen have been doing a lit- T; tie figuring. They have estimated that there is 1,475,000,000,000 feet of lumber j standing in the United States. The |"\ «imantlty which is cut every year L . amounts to 45,000,000,000 feet. It Is a deduction easily made that it will i** require only 33 years to consume the fez present supply. The lumbermen are |r beginning to clamor for government ^ aaslstance to save their business. They request that the exportation of logs •hall be prohibited and that all tree plantations shall be exempt from tax­ ation. It is clear that some such Measures must soon be taken, says the Cleveland Leader. But it is doubtful, taowever, that those recommended by the lumbermen will in themselves prove to be effectual. Additional and •Stronger protective laws will probably found necessary. y^/:- ' C - - I t t a k e s a n e y e l a s h 2 0 w e e k s t o nach a length of half an inch, and wen its life is from 100 to 150 days.

They do not, however, cover the subject of interstate trans­ portation of meat or the microscopic inspection of pork for export. Regu­ lations on these subjects, It was stated, will be issued later. The general regulations provide that the scope of the inspection shall cover all slaughtering, packing, meat- canning, salting, rendering or sim­ ilar establishments whose meats or meat food products, in whole • or in part, enter into interstate or foreign commerce, unless exempted from in­ spection by the secretary of agricul­ ture. Under the "law the only estab­ lishments which may be exempted by the secretary are retail butchers and retail dealers supplying their custom­ ers in interstate or foreign trade, but even those exempted classes are re­ quired to submit to the secretary • ah application for exemption. Sanitary, Regulation's. Sanitary regulations require the establishments in which animals are slaughtered or meat and meat food products are prepared, packed, stored or handled to be suitably lighted and ventilated, and to be maintained in a sanitary condition. All portions of the buildings must be whitewashed or painted, or where this is imprac­ ticable, they must be washed, scraped' or otherwise rendered sanitary. All trucks, trays, chutes, platforms,-racks, tables, knives, saws, cleavers and all utensils and machinery used in hand­ ling meats must be thoroughly, cleansed daily. Clean Outer Clothing. Employes of the establishments must wear outer clothing of a mate­ rial that is easily cleansed and made anitary- Toilet rooms, urinals and dressing rooms are required to be en­ tirely. separate from apartments in which carcasses are dressed or meats and meat food products are prepared. Managers of establishments will not be permitted to employ any person affected with tuberculosis in any of the departments where carcasses /are dressed, meats handled, or meat food products prepared. Butchers who dress diseased car­ casses are required to cleanse and disinfect their hands and implements before touching healthy carcasses. Inspectors to Report. Weekly reports on sanitation are to be made by the employes in charge of various departments to the inspector in charge of the station, who in turn must report weekly to the chief of the bureau of animal industry at "Washington. The provision rel&ting to dyes, chemicals and preservatives is strin­ gent. Heretofore the ante mortem inspec­ tion has been made in the stock yards, at the time the animals arrived, and has covered anlmala which were to be slaughtered at establishments where inspection was maintained, and those which were slayghtered for lo­ cal trade. The new law does not au­ thorize inspection of animals for lo­ cal trade. It came to the attention of the department that speculators were taking advantage of this form of in­ spection, and the farmers who ship­ ped the animals to market were there­ by losing several hundred thousand dollars a year. Under the new form of Inspection the shipper will be as- solutely protected, and will receive full price for all animals which pass, the inspection. The inspection of animals before slaughter, designated in the regula­ tions as the ante mortem Inspection, is changed to conform to the new law, and to give the secretary of agricul­ ture authority to require that all ani­ mals suspected of disease on this ante mortem inspection shall be slaugh­ tered separately and apart from all other animals, under the careful su­ pervision of federal inspectors. Destruction of Carcasses. Special provision is made for the destruction for food purposes of all carcasses and parts* of carcasses and meat food products which, upon in­ spection or reinspection prove to be unclean, unsound, unhealthful, un­ wholesome, or otherwise unfit for hu­ man food. All such" meat will* be placed in a tank in the presence of a government Inspector and sufficient coloring matter will be added to ren­ der it impossible that the tankage can be used for lard or other eatable product. If ainy establishment refuses to follow the tankage regulation, in­ spection will be withdrawn. The meat Inspection law under which the regulations aire issued, con­ tains a provision that no meat or meat food product shall be sold or of­ fered for sale by any person, firm or corporation in interstate or foreign commerce under any false or deceit tive name, but established trade names which are usual to such prod­ ucts and which are not false and de­ ceptive and which shall be approved by the secretary of agriculture are permitted. The regulation on this subject pro­ vides that trade labels which are false or deceptive in any particular shall not be permitted, and that a meat food product whether composed of one or more ingredients, shall not be named on the trade label with a name stating or purporting to Bhow that the said meat food product a substance which is not the principal ingredient contained therein, even though such a name be an established trade name. These provisions in regard to labels conform to the requirements of the pure food law. It was stated at one time that the provisions of the meat inspection law conflicted with the pure food law, but this idea is not borne out by the regulations just is­ sued. Supervision of 8tampa. All stamps, labels and certificates showing that meat and meat food products have been inspected and passed are required either to be af­ fixed by a government employe or to be affixed by an employe of the estab­ lishment under the personal super­ vision of a goverenment employe. Certificates are required for exports of cattle, sheep, swine and goats, and the meat and meat food products thereof, and no vessel having on board any such animals, meat or meal food products for export w}ll be al­ lowed to clear by the customs officers until the certificate of the secretary of agriculture, showing that th'£ meat is sound, healthful, wholesome and lit for food, is produced. / Free Access to Houses. For the purpose of enforcing the law and the regulations, inspectors and other government employes un 3er the direction of the inspector, must have access to establishments at all times by day. or night, whether tho establishments be operate or not. The regulation directs attention to the fact that it is a felony, punish­ able by fine or imprisonment, for any firm or corporation or any agent or employe thereof, to give or offer, di­ rectly or indirectly, to any depart­ ment employe engaged in meat in­ spection any money or other thing of value with intent to influence the em­ ploye in the discharge of his duty. Labeling Carcasses. The provisions in regard to labeling carcasses which are found diseased and which have been condemned, are very complete. A system of tags, numbered in duplicate, with reports to the inspector in charge, who, in turn, reports to Washington* will make it Impossible for any carcass which has once been tagged by a de­ partment employe to escape the vig­ ilance of the inspectors. Method of Appeal. Whenever the proprietor of an establishment questions the action of the inspector in condemning any car­ cass or meat, he may take an appeal to the Inspector in charge, and from the inspector in charge if he desires,, to the chief of the bureau of animal industry, or to the secretary of agri­ culture whose decision is finhl, so far as the department is concerned. All inspectors in charge of the meat inspection stations are directed to no­ tify the municipal authorities of the character of the Inspection and to co­ operate with such authorities in pre­ venting the entry of condemned meat or other products into the local mar­ kets. Running through the regulations is a carefully prepared scheme which will effectually prevent the entrance into sausage, curing, canning and oth­ er chopped meat establishments of any carcasses which were not inspect­ ed and passed by federal inspectors at the time of slaughter* One of the important provisions of the regulations is the.following defini­ tion: "'U. S. Inspected and passed.' This phrase shall mean that the carcasses, parts of carcasses, meats and meat food products so marked are sound, healthful, wholesome and contain no dyes, preservatives, chemicals or in­ gredients, which render meats or meat food products unsound, un­ healthful, unwholesome, unclean or unfit for human food." il* n ft. _ M •»*« lUHtY tirir,E O\r STEEL KING SECURES DECREE IN NEVADA.

CQURT APPOINTS RECEIVER 4 i FOR HON CITY PROPERTY JUDGE LANDIS HOLDS TRANSFER OF ESTATE TO VOLIVA IS VOID AND ORDER8 ELEC­ TION FOR GENERAL OVER8EER. Chicago.--John Alexander Dowie, months ago repudiated by his fol­ lowers as their spiritual leader, Fri­ day was declared legally to have no personal or private claim to the vast Zion estate. Wilbur Glen Voliva, pres­ ent overseer and leader of the revolt against Dowie, was held also to have no legal hold on '.he property. Judge K. M. Landis of the United States dis­ trict court, in dee'ding the iamous controversy, placed the whole proper­ ty in the hands of John C. Hately as receiver pending entiy of a final de­ cree and designation of a permanent trustee. He ordered a?so an election by the people of Zion the third Tues­ day of September as to who shall rule them spiritually. Long belore the hour set for the announcement of the court's ruling Overseer Wilbur Glenn Voliva and all the leaders who assisted in the over­ throw of Dowie and many of his fol­ lowers were in court, as were also the loyal supporters of Dowie. Broken in •health and spirit, the hoary-headed founder of Zion was too weak to leave Shiloh House at Zion City, and re­ ceived the first news of his defeat by telephone, The Ruling in Brief. Following are the Important points in Jfcdge Landis' decision: Lands, industries and all property in £2ion held to constitute a trust estate Jin which John Alexander Dowie can iclaim no individual .proprietorship. The conveyance by Voliva under power of attorney from Qq^ie of the Zion property to Granger declared to be "mere waste paper." ^ An election ordered for the third Tuesday in September, at which all members of the church living in Zion City since January, 1905, may vote for ecclesiastical leader of the church. If there be more than one candidate the tabernacle to be used alternately for campaign purposes. ' Publication of Leaves of Healing to be suspended until after the election except for one issue, which is to con­ tain the full decision of Judge Landis. In due course the court is to make provision for Dowie because of his services in organizing and developing the estate. Disposes of Bankruptcy Case. Judge Landis began the delivery of his decision at; 11:15 a. m., and the reading required almost an hour. The case decided was the one in which Wil­ liam B. Holmes, a resident of Ken­ tucky, and a stockholder in Zion in­ dustries, petitioned for a receiver. The decision, however, covers all the ques­ tions involved and at the same time disposes of the bankruptcy cases against Dowie as, under the ruling, Dowie's debts are the debts of the trust estate. Judge Landis' sweeping decision sets at rest the controversy growing out of the action of Overseer Voliva in transferring the properties of Zion from John Alexander Dowie to Gran­ ger. Millions are Involved, and all Zion, throughout the world, " has anxiously awaited the decision. Dowie Will Appeal. Chicago, July 30.--Jqjin Alexander Dowie will appeal from the decision of Judge Landis of the federal court declaring Zion City a trust estate and holding that the deposed first apostle has no individual proprietorship in the estate.
