Proctor Has Is, 900 Employees.

United States Senator Proctor is
the owner of one of the most valuable
marble quarries in the country, and
his home at Proc.orville, in the Green
Mountains, possesses beauty un-
rivaled in mountain districts. HIS
eldest son is manager of the works.
Some idea of the value of these quarries
and the enormous amount of work
performed can be estimated from the
fact that there are $1,000 names on
the pay rolls of the company, and the
village of Proctor is made up entirely
of the employees, There are 500 cot
tages in the village, beautiful little
two-story dwellings,, that are rented
at 81 per month; always kept in the
most perfect repair. The drives in
and around the naighborhood are
solidly macadamized by the hard
marble siftings from the mines, AMI
one may drive for miles over tho
picturesque roads on u roadway un-
exampled for smoothness and freedom
from dust. The Senator is planning to
build spacious private mansion on
the corner os Vermont avenue and Il
street, the lot purchased years since,
Just across from the residence ot
Secretary Carlisle, Washington Post.

Hypodermic Injection of Perfumes.

There was quite rage some years
ago in the East for perfuming the skin.
Some physicians discovered that the
hypodermic injection of certain per-
fumes, such as white rose, lilac or vio-
let, under the skin caused the perfume
to be exhaled from the whole body,
and even from the breath. All the
ladies wanted to be perfumed. The
operation had to be repeated about
once week in order to secure the de-
sired results. But, unfortunately, two
or three of the perfumed ones suffered
subsequently from blood poisoning,
and one or two died. That put a
quietus on the hypodermic injection
of perfume, and the whole matter
dropped. London Answers.

FOUNDATIONS OF PROFITABLE DA1RY.Sa

FOUNDATIONS OF PROFITABLE DAIRYING.
The foundations of profitable dairy
ing consist of good cows that are
literally fed and milked with exact
regularity, and an intelligent and OBJ
servant owner. With these essentials
present the details of the business are
soon acquired, and the degree of
prosperity is measured by the attention
given to the work and the ability
manifested in its execution. Dairying
is n calling that requires the eye of
the owner to be watchful and his mind
to be thoughtful. He must be quick
to detect and prompt TO investigate
and correct every unusual occurrence
that initiates against the comfort and
we'll being of his herd Such a man
is always abreast of the knowledge of
the times because he is n student, not
only of his speciality, but of oil the
various things that interest mankind.
1t is only by utilizing all forms of
knowledge that the development of
specialties is possible, and the wider
the degree of knowledge the specialist
possesses the greater his success.
Dairying is speciality and the wiser
the dairyman is the better his dairy.
All his knowledge crystallizes there
to his personal elvantage and the
benefit Of the consumers of his product.

Tn Bosnia the people have believed
at all times that bridge could not be
firm and lasting unless a human being
was walled up in it, Thus there is a
legend connected with the handsome
Roman bridge at Mostar, which says
that the fine arch across the Narenta
could not be finished until the archi-
tect walled up in it a bridal pair Now
that n solid bridge is being built across

FEEDING HOGS

Tt is claimed that by feeding hogs
with corn mixed with some other mate
rials, the cost will be lessened and
their thrift and health kept up, to-
gether with an increased value in the
manure. Corn is in itself an excellent
fattening material, but fat is not in
particular demand at present. More
lean is required, and it is said that this
can be obtained by mixture of ground
wheat and corn.

UTENSILS THAT ARE IMPRAcTIcABLE.


A new tin pie-plate, evolved by
woman, has holes in the bottom to
ventilate the undercrust, and thus pre-
vent it from becoming soggy. A
crinkled rim of tin is laid over the
edges of the pie-crust to keep them
together and prevent the escape of the
Juices. Being left-handed, l took
kindly, too, to q spider seen the other
day which has lip on both sides.
Some other so-called improvements in
household utensils have little to rec
ommend them except that they are
new. Among them are flour sitter
that may be fastened against the wall
and turned with crank, metal
kneading board which fastens to the
table so that it will not slip about, and
II wooden roller covered with Turkish
toweling for dusting hardwood floors
or carpets. The latter is not half as
good an arrangement for dusting rs
the English dark blue flannel kept pur-
posely for hardwood floors, made into
bag and kept on broom, MS 1t cam

Whgn q damp cloth is to be used, 1T

in wrineing mop. Small meat
choppers, fruit-presses and evaporators
for drying fruit are really labor saving
contrivances
Too often complex pieces of help.
fulness are only an added care and an

be carefully studied. All kitchen

and as light weight as possible, for
