THE NEWS-f i tiRALD. T. Q. COBB,' Publisher THURSDAY, FEB. 16,1905. An egg famine is the latest announcement. The barn stormers may look for abet ter season. Exactly one year after the great fire in Baltimore the Baltimore American moved into its new building. Pretty active for an old journal of 131 years. The old idea of our grand mothers that a man and wife can live jointly on less than either of them can live sepa rately is not suited to our present method of lining. Many officers serving in the Philippines are said to be unable to pay their debts. General Corbin thinks it is because they are married and oses the fact to illustrate his objection to junior . officers marrying when they have no other income than their pay. Archie Roosevelt, a son of the President, is a pupil at a Quaker school in Washington. The supposition is that he is sent there for the spiritual influence but it is rather characteristic of the Pres ident that he should have selected the only school in the city for young boys that has a gymnasium and track. Coxey and his armv tried to march up the Capitol steps. Then a bicyclist was arrested for attempting it and now an ex-ball player of Pennsylvania is- sroing to try to run a 16- horse power automobile up them. Just because a few men have gotten into Congress so easily is not a sign that just anything can get up the Capitol steps. In all the fashionable cen tres of the country throughout this zero weather may be seen fine horses shorn "clipped" to the skin, shivering and wretched in the intense cold while their drivers have extra warm underclothing, heavy overcoats wUh fur mufflers and fur gloves. Is this the twentieth century and have we a Christian civilization? POISONS IN FOOD.

Here is what an English groom who has spent over twenty years in some of the finest stables of England has to say of. the way we treat our horses in this country: "You don't take care of horses ; you t link you do, but you don't. When a horse comes in all wet with perspiration you let him stand in the sta ble and dry with all the dirt on. In England we take the horse as heomes in from a drive and sprinkle blood warm water all over him from his head to his feet. Then we scrape him down and blanket him, rubbing his legs and face. Thus, in an hour he is clean and dry and ready to take a good feed,, while your way he will stand and swelter for hours and finely . dry sticky and dirty. Our horses never founder and never take cold. "We never use. a curry comb. You scratch your horse too hard. The only care necessary is to have the water not very cold, then bathe them quick and blanket them instantly, while you are rubbing their legs." .

He also states that the coldest weather was on Janu ary 6, 1886, thermometer 16 degrees below zero. At State Hospital the longest cold spell was January 6 to February 24, 1893, thermpmeteranging from 5 to 45 degrees. The re cent cold spell was the worst weather since those dates.
