Corn Cultivation.

The manner of cultivating corn.
whether deep or shallow. is subject
of much thought and discussion; but it
seems to depend very much upon a
principle which exists everywhere. viz
that at first, and before the roots have
spread through the rows, deep cultlva-
ton is useful, but afterward, as the
roots spread through the soil. only the
surface should be stirred. A most sue
cessful and large cultvator of corn in
central Illinois. upon a strong clay
loan, but containing much humus.
found that his best success was in plow-
ing deeply next the corn during its
early growth. So he used narrow bull
tongues, running deeper than the out
Ell broader teeth of his cultivators. dur
ing the early growth of his corn. AS
the corn became large the teeth were
changed SO the deeper running teeth
were near the middle of the rows.
Thus the deep cultivation kept pace
with the growth of the roots of the corn.
and later, as the roots filled the whole
soil, the cultivation was super6c al.

Tricks of Handsome Women.

"a new class of swindlers have be-
gun operations in Fifth Avenue and
upper Broadway" said one of In
spector Byrnes' detectives to a New
York Telegram man while watching q
well-dressed woman across the street.
That lady over there is a leading
member of the gang" he continued.
"She would make $40 or SIS to-day if
let alone. She used to be shoplifter.
Because of the danger of detection,
and certain knowledge that she'd be-
sentenced for the longest term possible
if again arraigned before any justice
in this city, she and some of her
former companions have conceived the
idea of making good living as aristo-
cratic beggars. You see they dress
fashionably, have pleasing manners,
and know just whom to strike.
"a good-natured business man is
their victim every time. One of the
gang VIII aceost him in the middle of
a block, out of hearing distance. Her
manner of greeting him would lead
any one across the street to think her
an acquaintance. In low tone she
says she lost her pocket-book or been
robbed. Her husband or brother, of
course, is a member of the same ex-
change as the gentleman addressed
Her name is given and recognized, and
then, with false embarrassment and
bushes she would trouble her victim
for few dollars.
Mine times out of ten the unsus-
pecting individual will say, Why, GER
tainly; pray don't mention it, and pass
over a S. note in hurry, glad of the
opportunity to do it. The swindler
asks for his card and goes in search of
another victim, after expressing her
hearty thanks. The same person 10
never struck twice, and in this way
the swindlers escape positive detection
A few of the fraternity will tackle
members of their own sex with a story
calculated to win a dollar or two; but
this is only done when there is a
scarcity of male prey. They work all
sorts of lodges, and are often sue
cessful simply because of their fine APP
pearanee and good manners. l tried
to get a well-known society man who
had been swindled by that woman
across the way to prosecute her, but he
declined saying that it was shame to

The 1Ipple of the Ladies'.

"'Women drink more soda water
than men do" said a well-know Chest
nut street dispenser of temperance be-
verages. They are our best custom
ers, and | suppose that the reason why
our men customers are not so numer-
Gus is because they prefer beer. The
women are generally fond of ice cream
in their soda, but those who prefer on
ly the sirup call mostly for vanilla
flavor. Next to this they prefer straw
berry and pineapple" An expert who
has taken note of the special peculiari-
ties of female soda-water drinkers
says that schoolgirls generally want
strawberry and vanilla mixed; the
older brunettes, coffee or chocolate; ;the
blondes, pineapple or lemon; old wOm-
en-, sarsaparilla or raspberry; and the
widows and unmarried women of a
certain or uncertain age, apOllinaris
or vichy, which has no idle frOth to
prevent their looking over the edges
of the glass while drinking, and does
not tiZz up the nose.
Every first-class soda-fountain now
has milkshake machine attached.
The milk shake is new invention, and
is merely boiled milk sweetened and
favored and shaken up in a machine
which puts great froth on it. 1t is
mostly a woman's drink, but since so
many liquor saloons have been COM
PEELED to go into the temperance busi-
ness, has become quite popular among
the old beer drinkers. who like to
patronize their old haunts, but are COM
PEELED to do without their favorite
beverage. The man who invented the
machine to make milk shakes is said
to have made 100000 already on his
patent. There are now more than
1900 of these machines in this city

1880 feet in a vertical line to the bot
tom of the shaft, and one can make the
descent in three or four minutes in the
cage which is used to haul ore to the
surface. This cage will lift about six
thousand pounds, or three carloads of
1900 pounds each. Work on the Com
stock is now confined to the upper lev
els, the workmen having been driven
from the depths by the steam generated
through the action of the air on the
amphurous rock penetrated by the diff
ferent levels. The temperature aver
ages about 12O degrees down there,
and it is simply impossible for the
miners to work under such conditions.
Whether science will ever be able to
overcome the difficulties met with in
those lower levels remains to be seen.

RICH WoMeN's PIN MONEY.
The Allowances Made by Millionaires to
Their Daughters.

81 have only an allowance of $40 q
week for pocket money!" said the
daughter of millionaire in a con-
fidential moment the other day.
Papa has such an idea of money you
know, and he thinks l am wildly ex-
travagant to spend that small amount
on candies, flowers. novels and theatre
tickets. Mamma orders all my cloth
ing, you know, and so, of course / do
not have to buy anything that really
need.
To many a young girl $40 a week
would seem sufficient for pocket
money. and indeed, how many hun
dreds of pretty and clever young girls
are there who can not earn more than
that amount even by working hard
each day of the week? But the average
fashionable society girl has so many
demands upon her purse that $40 does
not go far.
1t is said that Jay Gould very gener-
ouely allows his pretty daughter $25,
and with this she not only supplies her
own little wants. but gives to most of
her small charities.
Cornelius Vanderbilt and Elliott F.
Sheppard allow each of their six child
rem II certain amount of pocket money
each month, and they are all required
to keep cash accounts and present
them to their papas the 1st of each
month. The amounts are not large,
and are given more to make the little
millionaires understand the value of
money than aught else.
Willie X. Vanderbilt's three children
are allowed plenty of pocket money,
demeanors. They dine in a pretty
little room adjacent to the great din
ing-saloOn, and if a tiny drop of any
coffee, milk or wine is spilled on the
snowy cloth the offender is fined %
cents for each Offense. A glass of
water knocked over or a dish let fall
on the floor brings a fine of so cents to
the culprit, and all the fines go to the
foreign and home missions.
What do do with my 500 week P"
asked an only daughter of Fifth
avenue millionaire, when asked the
question. well, not always the same
thing. Last week l spent every cent
of it on lovely new parasol, to carry
at a coaching parade, and then after
all my trouble it poured rain. l gener-
ally purchase my flowers-you know 1
must have fresh corsage cluster of
violets every day-and they cost a
dollar a cluster.
"Then bonbons, soda, chocolate and

and couple of matinee tickets, tea for
my old women at the Home for the
Aged, new music and papers eat up
the rest. l am fearfully short some
times, and draw in advance and for

Papa used to allow me so much every
quarter for my wardrobe and maid, but
l was always in deep water. Now l
order what want and have the bills
sent to him."
II do not think that the wealthiest
New Yorkers are more than liberal in
allowing pocket money to their
daughters" said the Principal of a
fashionable uptown school. my pupils
are, most of them, daughters ofmillion-
aires, and yet they have seldom enough
for their many little wants. 1t is wis.,
dom, not meanness, on the part of the
parents, think. ."-NeD York World.

The Newspapers Do the Thinking.

the newspapers every morning for their
opinions as they go to the bakers for
l0aves of bread. So they do, and wheth-
Ell Mr.. Phelps meant it or not, each in

hear man say II don't care for their
opinions; read the papers for facts. +"
The next moment you hear him repeat
ing with textual docility the editorial
of the morning. The truth is, APP
prehend, that in these times men do
less and not more thinking for them
selves, at least on the topics of the day,
than their fathers and grandfathers
did. The best papers think for them,
more fully, more carefully, more au-
thoritatively than they door can do for
themselves. There are men who will
not go in leading strings, editorial or
other They are the minority. Few,
indeed, are those who emancipate
themselves wholly from the directing
