TRUNK TALK.

Facts for People Who Come Home with
Their baggage Smashed"
"Our trade" said trunk manufact.
urer. makes a splendid barometer oi
the business interests of the country.
When there is a big demand for trunk:
it means not only that people have made
enough to be able TO indulge in the lux.
ury of travel, but that firms are sending
out statesmen more largely than before,
and that the commercial world is be.
coming more and more animated and
trade brisk"
How long will trunk lastP"
"That is a question | can not readily
answer, simply because it depends en-
tirely how much travel it has. Many
people don't use a trunk more than
once year, and a good trunk used at
that rate ought TO last lifetime. but
then there are Others who travel most
of the time. Their trunks are left most
OF the year to the tender mercies Of the
baggage-smasher, who is the trunk
makers best friend. The railway com.
panies, with their stalwart, 90 as-you-
please methods of handling trunks. are
source Of revenue to us, and we sp-
preciate their efforts"
What kind of trunk do You sell the
most Of ?n
"The most popular style of trunk
here Is the Saratoga OF French trunk.
More Of these are sold than any other.
/ think, because they are so well adapted
for ladies' use. They have more com
partments in them, more little trays, hat
receptacles, and, best of all. q deep bot
tom that will hold a wardrobe. There
are only fifty styles of Saratoga trunks,
besides the steamer. The trunk has
not been invented yet that can complete-
ly withstand very many railroad trips
A good SaRtoga should last one or two
seasons before going TO the repair shop.
They are good deal cheaper than sew
eral years ago. Now these trunks are
most used by fashionable ladies, and of
course the sale is enormous each year. ="
"What would you call the best trunk
for general use?
The canyas-covered trunk. Their
sale Increases every wear. and they a-e
found to be stronger and more able 80
stand rough usage. They have more
wear in them than the leather-covered
ones. The body of the trunk is pado
out of strong white pine and the ,op Of
tough Eastwood. The secret in making
a good. lasting trunk is to have a good
top. SO many trunks are piled one on
top Of the other. they will he giving
way or breaking in. Theater or prop
erty trunks are, OF course, strong, be-
cause they are covered with bands.
They have only limited sale. The tin
or crystallized trunk is manufactured
almost especially for Southern trade.
The colored people there will have no
other than n variegated. fancy -colored
tin or zinc trunk. The European leath-
er-bound or canyas-covered light trunk
IS used almost exclusively for tourists.
In Europe only forty-fye pounds Of bag
gage are allowed free OF charge.
"How about sole-leather trunks?n
They are not nearly so popular as
they used 10 be. l hear a rawhide trunk
has been made that will recist all at
tempts 10 smash II, but | imagine the
drawback will be when il gets wet and
shrinks. The trays will not fit then and
the drummer will have TO telegraph tq
the city for a new trunk. IN Y Mad

PNEuMONIA.
Twelve Causes to which This Disease
Can Be Attributed.

ANelNo NauAta To WI hich Ihts Disease
Can Be Attributed.
To reach reliable conclusions respect
ing the more important diseases, the ex-
pcrience' Of many observers in differ
ent localities need to be compared
Medical books and magazines furnish
comparisons TO some extent, as do tho
frequent medical meetings. with their
papers aud discussions But the end
is being reached in n more systematic
and thorough way in England Thus.
in the case of acute pneumonia. reports
have been received by n central COM
mittee OF over one thousand cases from
four hundred and eighty observers.
These were put In charge OF sub COM
mittee, TO arrange, aud to deduee from
them what may be looked on as estab-
lished results. The following we have
gathered out Of them and here present
as brief summary;

nected with bronchial and catarrhal af-
fections. this Is by no means invariable.
We take this to mean that IL may oc-
cur without any symptoms of n ''cold.

than one member Of family at time.

as either indicating a common cause,
or an infectious character Of the
disease.

the rate OF mortality from it is excep-
t!ona ~ low
4. Detective drainage and sewer-gas
poison may both cause il and favor its
spread; but such cases are neither
specially severe nor mortal.

ing cause Of it. When so caused. II is
the most fatal form OF the disease

unfavorable conditions Tor II are fatigue

Z. Inc disease may be Infectious; be
communicated 10 those who are in in
innate and prolonged connection with
it-as nurses and bed-fellows. Still, il
Is not infectious as ordinarily seen.

commonly on the sixth, seventh. eighth
and tenth days.

Politeness of Swedes.


One great peculiarity of travelling in
Sweden Is the extreme quiet and lack
Of furry. The Swedish are n taciturn
and noiseless people. They do much
by signs, and never shout; Swedish
crowd makes singularly little sound.
Swedes, even of the lowest class, never
push or jostle. II is the custom to do
so much bowing and hat-lfting that
one is obliged to move more slowly
than in England to give time for all
this courtesy. When a train leaves a
platform. or a steam boat pier. all
the lookers-on lift their hats to the de-
parting passengers and bow to them. "a
compliment returned by the travellers.
II you address the poorest person in
the street you must lift your hat. A
gentleman passing a lady on the stairs
of a hotel must do the same. To en-
ter a shop or bank with ones hat on
Is a terrible breach of good manners.
II you enter or leave n coilee-room you
must bow to all occupants, Passen-
gers on board the little steamers which
ply about Stockholm invariably raise
their hats to the occupants Of any
other boat which passes them. The
very men in charge Of the locks on the
canal bow politely to the sailors as the
boats go through. Chicago Standard.

which has now been opened is over two
miles from the former mound The
mound slopes gradually uD to about
forty feet from the level ground. and
near the top has been encircled by a
ring Of rough stones OF about twenty
feet In radius. On excavations having
been made at the top a large cist wa
come upon about three feet below the
surface. This cist Is situated in the
very center Of the mound, and l. formed
OF very heavy freestone slabs. 1t meas

twenty-six inches, and Is eighty-twO
inches In depth. IL was covered by a
massive stone slab measuring forty
eight inches by thirty-six inches, and Is
nearly ten inches thick. in the cist was
found finely-shAped old decorated urn,
five inches In height and six inches
wide. II Icing ant cipated that more
urns would be found. explorations were
carried on all round the cist. with the
result that seven other urns were found
in various positions In the surrounding
sandy soil Six OF these were found
placed with the mouth upward, tho
seventh being inverted over the mouth
OF one Of the others. One large urn,
standing fully twelve inches high, was
covered with Hat stone as lid. The
whole Of these urns contained burnt
human bones and charcoal, but with the
exception Of the last mentioned urn.
there was a large admixture OF earth
and vegetable matter In this large
urn, however. the calcined bones were

HINTS ON BUTTER WASHING.

If butter is to be washed at all after
sailing and working it should be washed
with pickle or brine, and not with ice
water or fresh water. Fresh water will
at once whiten the butter with which it
comes in contact, takes the salt out and
causes it to become strong in taste al
most Immediately.
For this purpose the pickle should be
made several Gays before needed for
use. It must be of good strength-that
is, the water must be thoroughly aatura-
ted with the salt, the result of stirring
and di solving. Washing in cold brine
does not soften the butter. Salt main
tains the water at low temperature.
Ice-Water in contact with butter has
an irjr ious effect. Even slight drop
pings of ice-wcter upon a parcel of but
Ter for twenty-four hours viii whiten it,
and spoil it by rendering it strong and
as d choice product.
Take tub of butter and place upon the
top of the butter cloth saturated with
fresh water, and in less than a day the
upper layer will be whitened, the salt re-
moved and the first stages of rancidity
induced.
Many other choice parcels of butter
have been spoiled by the use of fresh
water, and even by the use of water in
which salt has been stirred about for
shors time. Unless the pickle is made
very st .ong, a work of time, it is but little
better than fresh water for this purpose.
The best creamery butter is sailed at the
rate of one ounce to the pound of butter,
and if washed at all, pickle only should
be used.-Breeder's Journal
