(Copyright, 1903, by Dally Story Publishing Company. bisI ii Ji$J You have seen the engraving of the monument created by David D Angers to the memory of Marcos Botzarls, and you know whether or not the great sculptor was successful in hie determination that he who fell at should have a monument worthy of his heroism and patriotism. The story of that monument, a sad and pretty tale, is little known too little known. We lorget too easily. There is no longer a Botzaris; there la no longer a Mavrocordato. Misso-longitself is remembered but as the place where Byron died, and even then only when one says Missolonghl 1824." And that is a long time ago. The day David D Angers found the Inspiration he sought for his monument to Botzaris, he was walking among the tombs of He saw a young girl lying on a gravestone, at full length, tracing with a colored chalk the name Marcos Botzaris on the headstone of the tomb. She had just finished the last one of the letters on the otherwise blank shaft of marble. My child," David called to her, as he approached, "why do you write that name upon that tomb? That tomb has nothing to do with Botzaris." I know it. Monsieur, she replied. I simply came here for a walk, and I was thinking of Marcos Botzaris. Besides, the monument has nothing to do with him because it is not half good enough for him, beautiful as it is in its simplicity. Why do you think It is not good enough for him? the sculptor asked. He was a Greek, Monsieur!" she said, simply. She wept. David took note of her. She was about fourteen, just budding into womanhood, with the travail of the transition expressed in her every feature, every limb. Here, he said to himself, was not only tbe subject for his composition, but the model for his art as well. His statue took shape In his mind. This girl, he thought to himself, would represent, copied In stone, to tbe most casual observer the struggle for freedom. She would bend for him over the tomb of Botzaris to drag the secret of that freedom from him and give to the world in efflgied marble the story Botzaris fell too soon to finish. Dawning life, the reincarnation of liberty, would take up the work of the dead, in its ever continuing effort to fulfill its mission. It would be his masterpiece. Questioning the girl, he learned-noth- ing. She had nothing to tell, she said. Her name? She would not give it Her residence? She shook her head. She told him nothing beyond that she happened to be in for a walk. David seated himself upon a nearby tomb and commenced to speak of his monument He prefaced his remarks with the question: You are a Greek?" As Monsieur sees," she said, proudly raising her head. At first she listened to him incredulously. When he spoke of her countrys war for freedom, and his own Ideal of Independence, a fire kindled In her eyes, and she ailed her tears, and listened, silently entranced, showing only by her heaving young breast and the flashing of her eyes, the emotion his words occasioned her. At length he reached the point of his conversation. Would she pose for him? "I, Monsieur! I" she exclaimed, in a paroxysm of eagerness and joy as she sprang to her feet. Yes," she said. He began to speak of paying her for the sittings she should give him, but she would not listen. It is I want no pay," she said. for him! Is the "Come," she continued.

Ladle goods and process butter have been both severely hit by the amendments tbe United States Senate has tacked onto the oleomargarine hill. Under this Senate amendment what is known as adulterated butter is defined to be a grade of butter produced by mixing, reworking, rechurning in milk or cream, refining or In any way producing a uniform purified or improved product from different lots or parcels of melted or unmelted butter in which any acid, alkali, chemical or any substance whatever is introduced or used for the purpose or with the effect of deordorizing or removing therefrom rancidity, or any butter with which there is mixed any substance foreign to butter with intent or effect of cheapening in cost of product in any way. We are not certain that this amendment did not come from the oleo peobeple. Some of them at least have lieved that the funds to carry on the fight against colored oleo have come from the manufacturers of process butter, who might reasonably expect to profit by the passage of the bill. However, there is no good reason why process butter should not be placed un der federal rules as well as oleomargarine. It Is perhaps a little hard on ladle goods, which are often made from good grades, and are reworked to get uniformity of color and salting. Xudls und Process Batter.

From Farmers Review: Referring to your letter of April 7 and the inclosed proof concerning worms in turkeys, which represents a letter from Mr. L. L. Phelps, I would state that it is not clear to me from this letter what particular worms are present. The treatment which should be used would vary according to the kind of worms with which Mr. Phelps has to deaL If he will forward me some of the parasites I will endeavor to give him some information upon the subject. His two questions can, however, be answered without waiting for that information 1. There Is no powder of any kind which can be relied upon as a preventive against worms in turkeys. Measures should he adopted if possible to destroy the stage of the worm outside of the turkey. Whether such measures are practicable or not will depend upon the particular conditions at 'band. If the turkeys are kept In yards the surface of the ground may be burned with an oil spray, or by spreading some straw or other material over it and setting fire to it. This will greatly reduce the amount of infection. If, on the other hand, the turkeys roam over large fields and It is not practicable to burn these fields, I see little that can be done to prevent infection. It would be possible, however, to treat the turkeys occasionally and thus expel many or all of the worms. If roundworms are present I should be inclined to try thymol. This is one of the best drugs known in cases of infection with roundworms. The dose has not been established for turkeys, so far as I am aware, butn it is reported that in chickens a dose causes the rapid expulsion of the parasites. If the parasites In question are tapeworms instead of roundworms, areca nut is probably as good as anything that can be used. This drug has the advantage also of expelling some of the roundworms as well as the tapeworms. 2. I have never heard that areca nut stunts the growth of animals, D. E.
