II. W. Kirchner, architect OF the Colo
RADIO mining stock exchange building, re-
turned yesterday from three weeks
hunting tour in New Mexico. Most OF
the time was spent in Coyote canon, and
the exciting accounts OF bear hunts and
wrestling with mountain lions would
raise the hair on the head of a wooden
Indian. The party consisted of H. NJ.
Kirchner and wife, DR.. Upton and broth
er, of Las Vegas, and A. H. Kirchner, OF

The Tomato Season.

The season of the tomato isIshort, yet
being essentially a plant of the tropics,
1t can not be ripened often in England,
except under glass As hot house
plant, however, it is widely used there,
certain varieties developing special adap-
tation to these conditions. In the short
but fervent summer in New England, on
the contrary. it finds itself quite at home
Though the plant like many others of
tropical origin is highly susceptible to
injury from frost, the seeds are very
hardy. sustaining no harm from remain-
ing in the ground throughout winters.
If left to come up of themselves they
do so freely from such accidental plant
ings of the previous season, and here in
Massachusetts, will begin to ripen fruit
about the last of August. while plants
which are started early in the hot bed or
window box will begin nearly a month
sooner. A large field of tomatoes in the
vicinity of Boston commenced ripening
fruit one summer about the 10th of July,
at which time they brought twelve dol
lars per bushel in the market-Bosto

How to Put Away Rutter.

Mix well together one ounce each of
of best salt, all in fine powder; give one
ounce of this mixture to each pound of
butter and thoroughly work them to-
gether. The butter thus prepared is
then to be tightly pressed into clean,
glazed earthenware vessels so as to have
no vacant spaces. Butter thus put up
acquires its finest flavor three weeks
later and preserves it for long time.
Another method Is to take fresh butter
eighteen pounds, fine salt one pound,
saltpeter one and a quarter ounces and
honey or fine brown sugar two ounces.
Work and press as above. Some fill
the vessels only to within one-balf or
ithree-quarter inch of the top and I'LL

The bill is on imperial green paper, a

On the top and sides are the following
words III Turkish. ITO be paid to the

tan's toghra, surrounding which is =
quotation from the koran. Underneath
are the words. Twenty piasters, paper

Seeds Used for Ornaments.

The seed called Jobs tears is used in
Siam and by the Naga and other Assam
tribes i'll the construction of earrings and
other simple and elegant articles of per-
sonal adornment. Necklaces of these
seeds are frequently worn, and baskets
and other ornamental articles are oc-
casionally decorated with them, especial
iy those made in Nepal. The Angame
Nagas construct elegant earrings in
which rosette of these seeds surrounds
u greenish beetle wing. These grains
seem to stand good chance of coming
into more general use in Europe in the
construction of artificial flowers, laces,
bugle trimmings and other such pur-
poses for which glass beads are now used,
md possibly also in Catholic countries
for the manufacture of rosaries. Cham

How to Make HONEY.

Take of soft water six pounds, pure
honey three pounds, white sugar twenty
pounds, cream of tartar eighty grains
and essence of roses twenty-four drops;
mix in brass kettle and boil five min
utes, taking special care not to let it get
smoked. 1t is better to have charcoal
fire or place the kettle on hot Goals. AS
soon as the kettle is taken off add the
whites of two eggs well beaten, stirring
thoroughly. Two more pounds of pure
honey added at that time will increase
the honey flavor. A slight decoction of
slippery elm is sometimes added while
cooling, but in hot weather it is liable
to foam and rise to the surface.

How Iron Structures Become Unsafe.
BY examining & worn bar or car wheel
with an ordinary microscope it will be
seen that the worn surface is coming off
in thin flakes or scales. By applying a
microscope of very ligh power, however,
it will be seen that iron is composed of q
vast number of minute flakes held to-
gether by peculiar cement, just as very
fat and long bricks might be in a wall
by mortar. Long continued jarring
breaks up this cement to fine powder
with no adhesiveness, and then the flakes
of iron fall apart just as brick wall
would fall if the mortar should turn
to dry sand. But by some law not well
understood continuous motion in the
same direction destroys the cement many
times faster than irregular motions
Thus u regiment of soldiers keeping step
weaken an iron bridge more than so
many wild horses.

He Couldn't Recognize French Money.
1t requires very elastic credulity to ac-
cept in these days of universal commerce
the existence of railroad employe who
had never seen u French bank note, and
who, when he did, considered it some
sort Sef an advertising circular But
such Il fellow did exist, and he worked
ON the railway that runs out to Sceaux.
One day he found on the platform four
bank notes of 100 francs each, put them
IN his pocket and said, ''Some nice wom-
en- on the top; I'll take 'em home to my
little boy" Thanks to his ignorance, he
was only able when he got home at
night to present his son with three
pictures. The boy carried them to
school the next day, and at recess was
about cutting out the mice women -
when the teacher saw what he was doing.
Where did you get these notes?' he
demanded. Father gave them to me-"
''What for?' ''To play with" every
well; / shall take charge of them. :"
They went together to the police station,
and there the matter was satisfactorily
explained. The money had been lost by
market woman, and she was so de-
lighted at receiving the best part of it
that she actually handed one of the bank
notes to the man, exclaiming: Here,
take this, you old fool, and if you didn't
know before what it was, you will know
N the future. Paris Correspondent Bos-
