Pigs Feet and Terrapin.

A observing business man, who has
had occasion to- patronize at one time or
another nearly every restaurant in the
purely commercial section of the city,
has discovered al odd relationship be-
tween two articles Of diet which rarely
if ever occur singly upon bill of fare.
"You can be reasonably sure" he said
the other day, that when you see liver
and bacon set down among the edibles
you will not have to look far to discover
that you can also obtain a chicken live,.
o1nelet.' Perhaps this will explain" he
added cynically, ''why it is that so often
the liver Of the first dish appears in small
triangular pieces in the o1nelets.'
The gentleman might have transferred
his observances also to certain up town
restaurants which cater to the ''swell"
members of society. It's dollars to dough-
nuts that in at least one-half of those
which boast Of their fine cooking, when
ever terrapin a la Maryland or Pliladel-
phia or any other style is to be had, it
will require but little urging to obtain
fried pigs feet.
Pigs feet and diamond back terrapin
do not closely resemble one another in
their natural state, but what difference
when they are stewed, either separately
or together. with Madeira wine and vari-
GUS concomitants! An epicure only can
detect the subterfuge by the slightly
larger bones Of the pigs trotters.-New

why People dislike Book Agent.


What is there about book agent or
q peddler Of any kind that is so distaste-
full to the ordinary citizen Of today::'
said Martin Cole. 1.-THE efforts of these
people to make q living is conscientious,
and am positive there is no work on
the face of the earth that is half so
wearisome or soul trying as this one
thing of canvassing books. There is no
satisfaction in it and not even good
living. Every one turns with disgust
from the book agent. Probably it is
because people cannot brook anything
outside Of the regular lines of trade.
They prefer to have things in their pro-
per places-books in book store, candy
in candy store and the like throughout
the long list Of earthly articles that
we use. Then they want the stores close
at hand, SO that they can rush out and
secure what they want, paying spot cash
for it. r. '@
'"These are what people term the le-
climate lines Of trade, and they are.
Then when a peddler arrives, the mer-
chant o. the ordinary citizen Immediate
ly figures out that anything that must
be brought about to him to effect a sale
must not be good. It is outside the L.
gitimate line, and if it were good it would
simply be placed upon the market
through the ordinary channels and left
for tho public to conceive its merits. So,
then, I figure out that this dissatisfaction
with book agents and the like resolves it.

an innate desire in tho heart of every

How to Select Good HeIy,.

One of the most astute business men
in New York city, who has through his
own efforts built up an enormous estab-
ishment, and who gives employment to
hundreds of men, some of them at very
large salaries, told mo he had very little
difficulty in finding the right kind of
men for any department of his work. l
was surprised to learn this and asked
him what was the secret of his success.
He said:
Il have men to whom I pay. as much
as $4,000 year. have sometimes been
disappointed in my selection of helpers,
but as a rule never fail to get the kind
Of man I want. My first rule is to Sc
lect for experienced help only the men
who have succeeded in what they have
undertaken.
mo matter how prepossessing man
may be, how taking in appearance or in
apparent qualifications, never engage
him." he added, eff I find that he has
made failure in anything. On the 9TH
er hand, no matter how plain and un-
prepossessing a man maybe, if learn
from his story that he has been promoted
step by step; that he has always re-
manned in a place until he was advanced,
and that every change he made was a
change for the better, l engage him at
once. Such men never dissappoint me. "

Very Few Chicago Carpenters Quit
Work.
CHICAGO, April 25.-The strike Or
dered by the central council of car
penters to take place was failure in so
far as it affected the worlds fair and
was nearly a failure as far as it affected
the entire city. Every carpenter, union
and non-union. employed by the exposi-
ton company, reported for duty and
nothing was heard or said about the
resolution calling out all the men en-
ployed on buildings where non-union
carpenters were employed.
The number Of men who left their
work on various jobs in the city outside
the exposition grounds is about 800.
The highest number to strike on any
one building was %. The strike was
directed only against contractors who
attempted to work union and non-union
men together, and of those there were
only few and they employed small
gangs of men.

Ice In the Government Buildings.

One gets a vivid notion of the magni-
tude of the departments from the vast
quantities Of ice and coal which are re-
CURED to quench the thirst of the %, 900
clerks and keep them warm. The treas
ury consumes a ton and half of ice
daily, taking an average the year round.
An equal quantity is used in the war,
state and navy building. But the de-
partment of the interior is the great de-
vourer of ice. Including the pension Of
fee, it gobbles up from five to six. tons
every "a hours. ~:
The quantities utilized are variable.
Each department. makes it's own contract
for ice, bids being advertised for annual

much for supplying all the frozen water
required, whatever it may be. All the

In the meantime the Dolphin, with

remained to observe the movements Of
the other vessels. The White Squadron
came down the Roads and was Joined
by the Holland ship Van Speyk and the

To See the Start,
While the fleet was getting under way
the Roads were crowded with pleasure
yachts, excursion steamers and tugs and
sa1lboats of all descriptions. The ram
parts of the fort were black with visit

packed with ladies, waving dainty
handkerchiefs to their departing

from her anchorage and passed down
to join her sister ships at rate of speed

applause.

Are bells of use to drive dogs from
the flock? The Liberty bell itself
would not drive away dog that was
bent on killing sheep.
It is claimed by some that sheep
will get all the exercise they want in
small pen. Others even drive
their sheep for exercise. We would
hardly do that, but sheep need ex-
ercise and ought to have plenty Of
room.
A correspondent OF the Stockman
and Farmer uses turpentine for ticks
in sheep. For fifty sheep he gets a
gallon Of turpentine and feeds it on
salt, lightly at first and gradually in
creasing it. 1t works out through
the pores of the skin, he says, and is
too strong for the ticks.
Gentleness in the management OF
sheep is always desirable, but it is
peculiarly so among the lambs that
are to 90 to early market The win
ter lamb in order to have it do well
must be treated as kindly as you
would treat baby.
To kill a sheep humanely it should
first be stunned with a blow given
with broad malletin the middle of
the forehead. about two inches above
the eyes. Then cut the throat at the
upper part of the windpipe, using a
sharp knife.

There is no more remarkable page
in all history than the one which tells
Of the GROWING OF Inez de Castro 5

She had been married clandestinely to
young Don Pedro. and was murdered
three years later by assassins insti-

young don heard of her death he was
beside himself with grief and rage.
Two of the assassins fell into his
hands and suffered terrible torture,
which only ended by their hearts be-
ing torn out while they were alive.
When Pedro came to the throne few
years later he had the bones of lnez
taken from the grave. placed upon a
magnificent throne, robed in royal
purple and actually crowned queen Of
Portugal. The court was summoned
and compelled to do her homage Just
rs If she were a real, living queen.
One heshless hand held the scepter
and the other the orb of royalty. On
the second night OF this weird cere-
mony the feshless queen was borne

Of shedding water instead of holding

There is no question Of more i'm
portance to the dairyman and gen
eral stock breeder than that of Sc
caring a good, permanent pasture.
1t is so rarely that we see such a
pasture that it Is worth while to
consider how we can OBTAIN it. The
desired permanence of grass for
pasture is secured only when the
grass will stand continual cropping.
is hardy and will produce a success
sion Of good growths 1t must
naturally form a thick. close turf in
order to resist the injurious effects
of dry weather, and at the same time
to form such a thick mating over
head late in the season as will pro
tect the roots from the severe cold
OF winter The danger to good grass
lands in late fall cropping comes
from the alternate freezing and thaw-
ing which breaks up the ground and
exposes the roots OF the grass to the
cold, and if the tops of the plants are
all eaten off there is no protection
left. Where there is a good cover
ing. however, the grass roots are
kept from being winter-killed, and
the turf is also so thick that frost
will not throw the roots up to any
great extent
On low. heavy soils a permanent
pasture should. as rule. be a little
different from one situated on a high.
dry soil. On the low. heavy soils.
red-top, alsike, meadow fescue and
some of the clovers do well for per-
manent pasture.
Glover itself will not stand much
pasturing. but even in a permanent
pasture field it helps TO fill up with a
great deal of nutritious heritage. and
1t is valuable to mix with other
grasses. For the first two seasons it
will vield an abundance Of grass for
cropping. Red clover, however, IS
not very good in a permanent pas
ture. and it is better to leave it out
and take some of the other varietie 5.
On light. dry soils, such as We
have scattered all through our hilly
sections and on the sides of hills, a
permanent pasture can be obtained
better by making mixtures from some
0! the other grasses For instance,
selections can be made with success
from orchard grass. Kentucky blue,
alsike, red clover and meadow feScue.
These can be added to when desired.
for many other grasses appear to be
prolific in certain localities that do
not grow well in others. They will
generally add to the mixture of these
selected grasses. The question of
cheapness must also be considered,
for. in making our mixtures for a
permanent pasture. it does not al
ways pay to select the most expensive
seed In the end the most costly
varieties are not always the most
prolific and nutritious.
In making a permanent pasture
two questions must be kept in mind
continually. One is that we need
luxuriant plants and vast amount
Of rapidly growing heritage. The
plants must continue to grow
through the whole season. The
other point is that we need a thick
close, dense turf Without this the
plants will be killed by the late fall
cropping. and the ~asture will quick
~ degenerate. -arly all perma-
nent pastures need an annual top
dressing. and they will last longer
and produce more with such treat
