TRANsPLANTING oXIoN'.

According to results o5talne AZ the
experiment station OF Ohio Lass yel:, in
the matter of growing onions from seel
in the greenhouse and afterwards trans
planting the young plants in the opel
ground, the results were decidedly in
favor OF the trans planted ones. A month
was gained in the time of rpeninS OF the
crop, all the troublesome detail OF keep
ing the young onions from being
smothered by weeds was overcome, while
the yield of those trauspanted was in
most cases about double that OF the 9TH
crs. The common market sorts shove
524 bushels to the acre of the trans
planted against 39S bushels from seel Of
the Yellow Danvers. while the Wealth
crsdeld showed 10 against so respec-
lively. Other kinds wers even more "a.

Ing in gaps and loss from seed by one
party, who obtained a supply from those
more fortunate, even when the see
was sown in the ordinary way out o.
doors. The writer has known OF some
growers who always transplanted froai

sequent from the slow growth at first of
onions grown from seed. The extra

Psopls Who Throw Pennies Away.

Have you ever picked up penny on
the street, II so, you probably have not
stopped a minute TO think how the cop
per coin came to be lying there. 1t PROB
ably never entered your mind that the
former owner of that penny threw it
away purposely. Your natural conclusion
after finding the coin was that some one
had accidentally dropped it.
1t is fact that Chicago has many men
whose superstition takes the form of re-
garding the possession of copper coins
as unlucky. These men will never keep
copper in their pockets if they can help
themselves, for which ncwsboys are pro.
foundly grateful. Should a stray penny
find its way into the clothes of these
superstltious creatures,it is quickly flung
away with a sigh Of reIiel-and as
quickly picked up unless invisible to the
Chicago eyes.
This habit is common among poll
ticians, spectators, gamblers Of the or
binary kind, actors AMI some business
men who would rather lose good din
ner than be among thirteen at the table.
These men, who look upon the despisel
bu. useful copper as "Aoodoo' are the
same men who carry the left hind foot
of a rabbits horse chestnut or other sup
posed charm in their vest pocket to ward
off the evil genius kuoSn as bal luck.
Some of these cranks 60 so far as to
keep penuic, out Of their homes, anil as
long as the children get their pocket
money in more valuable metal there Is no
objection to the boycott on copper.
There are men in the city hall and county
building who honestly think they would
be beaten at the polls or lose their job ii
a penny got into their pocket. Chicago

Dust TEST For Firearms.

One little known process to which
small arms manufactured for the United
States are subjected is the dust test, in
tended to subJec. the piece to the same
dustlng it would receive If carried by
the soldier in a march across the alkall
deserts of Arizona or Utah, or the sage.
brush prairies OF Montana or Wyoming.
Troops are frequently compelled to tramp
for hours through such clouds OF dust
that the heads of the leaders OF a
six-mule team can be but vaguely seen
from the wagon, and the dust so fine
and penetrating that the soldiers guns
and every garment soon becomes cote
with it. The artificial production Of a
similar experience for AZ arm that might
be adopted for military service Is mani
testify very pertinent trial This Is
accomplishe by placing the life on a
shelf within close | box, 50 thai the
breech mechanism, which is closed, shall
be opposite the mouth Of the bellows
fine sand is thea permitted to fall slowly
across the blast of air, which thereby in
two minutes, the time of the tes', drives
the sand into any open joints or into the
depth of the mechanism if it is much eX'
posed. The gan is then removed and
wiped carefully with the bare hand also
blow into and cleaned, just a. a soldier
who suddenly goes into action would do
with a gun he has carried on a dusty
march. The piece is then fired twenty
shots. This test Is then repeated, tao
magazine being charged before ex?osin
the gun to the dust; the cartridge and
the gun are then xipei as before and
the gun again fired twenty rounds.

How Hotels Are Robbed.

The large hotels in all the cities OF
this country carry upon their annual
expense account from one thousand
TO fifteen hundred dollars chargeable
to paper, envelopes, matches ana
toothpicks supplied to guests and
strangers. The strangers use more
of them than the guests. a square
box. in which are kept a dozen neces-
sary thingS-such as cards, matches,
envelopes and tOOthpicks-stands on
the counters of most hotels. This
box has TO be constantly replenished.
The proprietor Of a large New DIRK
hotel furnishes some interesting in
formation regarding the way in which
his hotel is Systematically robbed by
quests and strangers. Five hundred
envelopes aad 1000 sheets of paper
are required daily. Strangers appear
at the desk, and with the utmost nom
cbalance ask for writing materials,
which are furnished if the person be
respectable in appearance. 1t Is a
common thing to sec strangers enter
a hotel writing-TOOm and fill their
fountain-pens from the ink-bottlcS.
Blotting-p given away costs $40
a month. Every visitor to the hotel
believes himself entitled to tooth
hicks and matches. He takes a hand
full Of the former and fills his pocket
matchbox at the counter with the
latter. 1t costs $l5 a month to sup
DIV these trifling articles. Pen and
penholders and ink-bottles disappear
at the rate of a dozen day.
But, alas. these are not the only
losses to which hotel men are com
PEELED to submit. The attendants in
the wash-room will tell you that
strangers enter and slip cakes Of soap
into their pockets. The small hand
towels that are supplied to guests are
carried off at the rate Of hundreds
every year There is difference in
the class Of men who merely take
what is supposed to be free and those
who fllch what is known TO be the
property of the hotel The latter
men are thieves! Tides are carried
away from the chairs, and sheets and
pillow-cases from the beds The
hotels on the European plan suffer
most from pilferers and dishonest
patrons. -Once-a- Week.
