C"he JVetu "Bible "Re-V'jion.
The new Bible revision which is rec-
ommended by a committee of the Prot-
estant Episcopal church should not be
mistaken for a radical change in text
or translation. If it is accepted the
church, it is said, will have a Bible
which retains the version around
which the loving regard of the people
centersa, with the addition of such
notes and commentary as are suggest-
ed by a critical study.
It is undeniable, however, that some
of the instruction which is proposed
may cause a momentary pain to the
less critical and the less scholarly
multitude which has been brought up
near to the doctrine of verbal inspira-
tion. When it Is explained, for ex-
ample, that the century-hallowed close
of the Lord's prayer. "For Thine is
the kingdom and the power and glory
forever, Amen," is not found in some
of the early manuscripts, the conflict
of manuscripts must become really
startling to people who know little of
the higher criticism and all of faith.
For the words have come down as an
injunction from Christ, as an insepar-
able part of his prayer, and their im-
port and rhythm have entered into
millions upon millions of lives from
generation to generation.
Numerical Statu* of the JVevro.
Those ,who have predicted that the
negro race, because of essential inferi-
ority. would ultimately die out as a
result of unprotected contact with the
vices of the white civilization will not
find their theories supported by the re-
turns of their census of 1900.
The negro, in fact, is holding his
own. He has gained a foothold on
the continent to which he was trans-
planted in bondage and not by bis
own volition, from which he cannot be
dislodged. Any theories advanced that
may contemplate his final extinguish-
ment will have to be ra.Hcaly revised
when the tabv >i<lon of population by
nativity and color now gotig on in the
e*wa burea.: is completed.
The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Transcript calls attention
to the fact that the question of gain or
loss in the negro race has been left in
dispute by previous censuses. From
the figures at hand It *«em» probable
that the n»gro population of the United
States ta IIW was s litte ow 9.0M. ,
000. The ratio that the negro bears
to the total in the states already count-
ed will make the negro constitute 11.8
per cent of the total population of the
country, as against 11.9 ten years ago.

waa here I built a chicken house of
•uch mammoth proportions that it re-
sembled a anowshed on the Northern
Pacific. It was built on the most Im-
proved plan of architecture. I gath-
ered my Ideas from personal visits to
all the poultry farms In tha country
that were worth while, and every time
1 visited a new one 1 came home and
chauged my plans. There waa an eu-
tira suite of rooms for every particu-
lar grade of chickenklnd. There were
drawing rooms for the aristocratic
and hospitals for the feeble. There
was a souvenir building for the Ply-
mouth Rocks; there were temples for
the Brahmas, Improved foot-baths for
the White Leghorn* and china closets
for the Cochin Chinas. I hired a small
boy to do the scratching for them, so
they might sleep d^rlfp the early
morning hours. I built a stable for
my horse and delivery wagon, sunk a
well, fitted up an office and bought a
burglar-proof safe in which to keep
the eggs pending a rise in price. Then
I began to look around for tenants.
This was difficult. At that time all
hens looked alike to me. I was com-
pelled to take the seller's word as to
their pedigree and habits. I have
since learned that hens, as a rule, do
not always carry out the agreements
of their former owners.
After getting into touch with every
man in Illinois who had a hen he was
willing to part with, I secured enough
to open up business. The first roll
call showed 375 present. Statistics
show that one energetic hen will lay
one egg a day, on an average. I did
not have an average around the place,
so I substituted a good, soft, well up-
holstered nest for each one of the 375.
In a short time, through the courtesy
of a dozen haughty roosters which I
Introduced among those present, and
with the help of two steam-heated in-
cubators, I swelled the total number
to 1,260. Then I felt that my troubles
were at an end. I had spent enough
money to supply the town with eggs
for years at Easter prices. I had pur-
chased everything from satchet pow-
der for the prevention of lice to ground
bone for aiding their digestion. I
bought drinking fountains, hovers,
footbaths, steam heaters and egg
cases. I naturally supposed that it
was all over but putting the income in
the bank. I was hugging the delu-
sion. It soon developed into a prop-
osition of stupendous proportions. My
health began to fail and my placid
brow, on which my earlier years of
struggle had left no mark, became as
corrugated as a washboard.
I decided to secure a manager for
my plant, one who knew the hen busi-
ness, and give myself a needed vaca-
tion. I employed a man who came to
me well recommended—by himself. He
claimed he had made the chicken
business a life study; that he was on
speaking terms with every hen in
Knox county; that he knew every 111
that chicken flesh is heir to; knew all
their little troubles, their faults and
their accompaniments. When I
thought of all he said he knew, I
wondered how I got him so cheap.
As soon as he entered the place he be-
came a universal favorite. Day after
day the hens grew more fond of him.
They would eat from his hand, climb
upon his knee and permit him to
shampoo them and manicure their toe-
nails. I turned the whole business
over to him and went away on a two
months' vacation, thinking that tbe
next hen census would show a re-
markable Increase, and that the abso-
ute control of the egg market of the
world would be in my grasp. But I
reckoned without my host, also with-
out my manager. When I returned to
the scene of my labors, bringing with
me the latest style of cash register to
figure up the profits, I found out of
1.260 happy, well-contented h*ns, only
27 were gathered to welcome me. My
manager assured me that the great
majority had passed into the dim,
hazy unknown
from untlean barua

Hann* F*no* Dilemma.
Cattlemen are very much worried
over the evident intention of the gov-
ernment to have all fences on the pub-
lic ranges removed at once. The Na-
tional Live Stock Association has been
appealed to to use Its influence in
Washington to have the matter de-
layed, but there seems to be nothing
that can be done. To put up a fence
on the government range is contrary
to the statutes, and to ask a govern
ment official to shut his eyes to viola-
tion when the violations are pointed
out, is to ask him to violate the law
and his oath. As long as the stock
men themselves were content to keep
still, the government was willing to
believe that there were no ranges
fenced, but with a flood of protest and
complaint pouring in, there is nothing
to do but enforce the law. As long
as there was plenty of range for all
there was no trouble, but as soon as
the range became crowded then there
were plenty to find fault with the
fences, and the only remedy seems to
be to change the raw. It is now gen-
erally admitted that the present land
law will have to be changed, but as to
the nature of the change there is a
vast opinion. The latest proposition
is th&t the government sell the lands
to settlers at a low rate and on long
time and get out of the free land busi-
ness once and for all. There seems to
be many in favor of this plan.—Den-
ver Live Stock Record.
All the oleomargarine makers want
is to have the government permit them
to put coloring in oleomargarine. They
know when this is done that the iden-
tity of the substitute is so concealed

tection by state officials or internal
revenue officers after it is in the hands

Inspection af Export Dairy Product*.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington, D. C., says:
The agricultural appropriation act
for the current fiscal year authorizes
the Secretary of Agriculture in his dis-
cretion to apply the law for the inspec-
tion and branding of live cattle to
dairy products intended for exporta-
tion, the purpose being to enable ex-
porters of dairy products to give for-
eign buyers the assurance of certifica-
tion by the government of the United
States of the purity, quality and grade
of dairy exports.
Secretary Wilson has decided to ex-
ercise the authority conferred on him
by establishing in the customs dis-
tricts of Boston. New York, Chicago
and San Franoisco a system of inspec-
tion of dairy products, but first will
have experts in those districts gather
all possible data in order that efficient
regulations may be drafted for the
conduct of this new service. A begin-
ning will be made in a tentative way
with the purpose in view to bring
about a practical and an honest sys-
tem by which all persons may be prop-
