A Mighty Mean Woman.

For some time girls employed in one
Of the departments Of the Bridgeport
Corset company's shop have been great
ly annoyed and delayed in their work
by the machines constantly being found
out of repair when started in the morn
Ing. At times three or four hours would
be required TO put them in shape for
the work. This state of affairs con-
tinued SO long that many of the old
hands left and new girls were taken on.
On this particular work there Is only 80
much TO be Gone every day, and as it
Is all piece work the br aking of a ma
chine causes a loss TO the one operating
1t, and al the same time gives thoso
fortunate enough to have perfect mar
chimes chance to make extra pay.
There was one woman working In
this department who kept constantly
busy, her machine never appearing to
get out of order. thus giving her q
larger share of the work. Finally the
machinist Of the shop became suspi-
cious that some one was tampering with
the machines and set a watch. Early
one morning he got to the factory
about Q O'Clock. and. hiding himself,
waited for developments. He had not
long to wait, for the woman in ques-
ton arrived, as she was always the
first to appear every morning After
looking around and seeing no one In
view she took screw driver, and 60
Ing TO one of the girls machines began
to disarrange its gearing. The ma
chinist stopped her and reported her at

An Awkward Predicame ent.

A gentleman. about leaving Nurem-
berg at night. and being late at the sta-
ton, paid silver for his ticket in fur~
RED manner. and darted toward tho
waiting room to pass through II to the
train. Suddenly he was tapped on The
shoulder; upon turning he ssw a po-
liceman. who told him that he was a.
rested for passing counterfeit money.
At the police Office the silver Tho
gentleman had paid at the station was
produced. II had q peculiar whitish
luster, and queer feel to the tingerA
He was asked to show what money hs
had, and all the silver In his pune
looked and felt the same way.
But on examination the silver was
found to be genuine. His purse was
also examined and he was asked where
he had bought il. lie said he had pur-
chased it from street vender two
hours before, for very small sum.
Then the secret came out. The
purse was made from the east of sheep
skin bags in which quicksilver is ex-
ported from Spain. Tie skin of the
purse being strongly inpregnated with
quicksilver had given to the silver coin
Its whitish luster and greasy feel to the
touch. The gentleman was at once
liberated. but lie had TO remain that
night in the quaint old towh.-Ex-

A twenty-five Pound Flower.

The boo, the largest flower known
to botanists. Is found only on the isl
and of Mindina, the most southern Of
the Philippine group. Its scientific
name Is somewhat longer than the
native name, the botanists recognizing
II as a species of the raffiesia. II has
been given the name of Raffiesia Scha-
denbergia, the first half of the name
being In honor of Sir Stamford Rafiies,
the British governor of the islands,
and the last half In honor of the dis
coverer, DIR. Alexander SchadenberR.
The flower was discovered In January,
1889, by the exploring expedition head
ed by the doctor above mentioned. and

Praotioe VS.. Theorv.

Winfield Scott aud many other life
long cowmen argue that carrying over
three -year-old steers will ruin any man
who persists in the practice. This po-
sition is IN a measure reluted by case
right here at home. Mr.. W. A. Ora
ham states that the Hogan cattle car
ried over aud sold this summer paid
$40 Tor their last years keeping selling
for that much more than they would
have brought last year. There are
several phases OF this question TO be
considered in determining this prob
lem. After the steer has been upon
the range for year or two the exp ense
of looking after him is reduced to the
minimum and likewise the chances of
his straying off and thus being lost.
Then it costs little, if any, more to ship
-four than three year-old and the
same commission is charged for sell
ing him, where's he brings 20 to 25
per cent. more money. Again, the ex-
pense incident to feinvesting the
money is not tritllng one, as every
cowman who visits Texas we'll knows.
On the whole, there are a great many
points in favor of keeping cattle until
they are fully grown and matured.

became quite intimate. About week

and to emphasize the old acquaint-
anceship Mr., Splitlog made our towns
man very useful and acceptable pres

friends last Saturday.
