His Money Pinned to His Clothes.

The Washington Star tells the following
story about secret pocketbooks "A man
walked into the Riggs house yesterday and,
approaching the cigar stand, called for per-
fecto. He ran his hand INTO his pocket and
found no change He searched every pocket
with like result. and the blood mounted to
his forehead. Wait a minute, =" he hurriedly
exclaimed. as he went toward the wash room.
In minute or so he reappeared and handed
a $50 bill to the clerk, Charlie" Baker. Re
ceiving his change the customer departed,
and Walter Tappan Of the Homer Lee Bank
Note Company, who was standing by, re-
quested Baker to let MIN look at the bill.
Taking 1t, lappan held 1t up to the light and
returned it, saying
II thought so. That fellow carries his
money pinned to his clothes somewhere.
How do I know? Why, there a dozen pin
holes in that bill. Hundreds OF men carry it
the same way. 1 saw an item IN a newspaper
the other day which shows how the prac tic o
is followed. a town bond, of the town Of
Delhi, n. Y, was turned into the town treas
ureT for redemption. 1t was punctured so
full OF pin holes as to be almost unreadable
AS soon as IL was determined to be genuine,
however, the money was paid and an investi-
cation begun. then the late owner of the
bond finally admitted that he had carried the
bond for long time pinned to his undershIrt
and as he had changed that garment quite
frequently the bond had become full OF

FIGHTING IN Samoa.
Thirty Native Rebels and Twelve Gov
ernments Soldiers Killed.

Auckland, March 30,-The steamer Al
amedo arrived to-day. She brings news
of disturbance in Samoa which threatens
serious consequences unless checked. The
trouble grew out Of the action of the
new supreme Judge, Mr. Ide, in imposing
fines upon some minor chief for disor-
DERBY conduct and imprisoning and com
pelling them to work in default Of paw
ment of the fines. The followers Of the
chiefs arose in armed rebellion. An at
tempt was made to disarm the rebellious
natives, and in a fight with the govern
ment troops thirty rebels were killed and
fifty wounded. The government troops
lost dozen or more killed and wounded.

THE DOGS BARK.
Effect oil Advancing Culture Upon the
Canine Voice.

NHnlne
The most curious imitation which we
find in dogs is as to the measure of exc
preston to which they have attained.
Among the savage forefathers of the
modern dog, the characteristic OF all
their utterance was, to a great extent,
involuntary, and once begun, the out
cry was continued in a mechanical
manner
The effect of advancing culture on
the dog, however, has been gradually
to decrease this ancient indifferentl-
ated mode of expression by bowling
and yelping, and to replace it by the
much more speech-lize bark. There is
some doubt whether dogs possessed by
savages have the power of uttering the
sharp, specialized note which is SO
characteristic of the civilized forms OF
their species.
1t is clear, however, that if they have
the power of thus expressing them
selves, they use it but rarely. On the
other hand, our high-bred dogs have,
to great extent. lost the power to eX-
press themselves in the ancient way.

come incapable of ululating. There is
no doubt but the change in the mode
of expression greatly increases the ca
pacity of our dogs to set forth their
states of mind.
If we watch a high-bred dog-one
with Il wide range of sensibilities, which
we may find in breeds which have long
been closely associated with man. w.
may readily note five or six varieties
of sound in the bark, each of which is
clearly related to certain state of
mind. That of welcome. of fear, of
rage. of Goubt and of pure fun, ere al
most always perfectly distinct to the
educated ear. and this although the
observer may not be acquainted with
the creature. If he knows him well he
may be able to distinguish various
other intonations-thosew which express
impatience, and even an element of
sorrow. This last note verges toward

To Head on Fraud Cheese.

Prof. Henry, of the Wisconsin state
agricultural experiment station, sug-
gests the enactment of law that all
fraud cheese shall be about 10 inches
in diameter to distinguish it from the
genuine, which is 1418 inches across
The change would break up the Chi
cago practice of marking poor cheese
up to first grade. Prof. Henry says:
"What we need is something about
the cheese which cannot be separated
from it. Bandages can be torn off,
stencils obliterated, etc, but the size
of the cheese-its diameter-carnot be
changed with success, / believe"

Disease In Cherry Trees.

In America the More llo class of cher
ries is particularly liable to be at

ly know as the plum knot" This is
now understood to be caused by a
minute fungus. The London Garden.

disease, which, by its description, is
very much like that above referred to,
is attacking the cherry in the old
world. Branches die completely and
suddenly above the point attacked,
giving the appearance just sit is with
us. of having been stricken by frost or
lightning. After a careful examina-
tion they have discovered that it is
caused by minute fungus, just as in
the case of our trees; but they consider
the fungus which causes their trouble
very different from that known to
operate here. They call it Monilia

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Do NOT strip the leaves from trees.
IN selecting trees, choose good roots
rather than tops.
AFTER the leaves of currants have
dropped, then cut the plants.
IN the fall, after the leaves drop, is a
good time to prune the grape.
THOROUGH cultivation of all young
trees at least for some time after
planting is essential to their vigorous
growth.
AS SOON as all the garden crops are
harvested a thorough blowing should
be given, and, if needed, good dress
ing of manure.

TOO MUCH ADVICE,
Views of a Washington State Farmer on
the Road Question.

Views of a Washington State Farmer on
the Road Question.
| read good many papers, almost
all of which agitate the subject of
road making in a general, theoretical
sort of way. They advise the govern
ment TO build them, advocate state
taxation, the sale of government
land, whisky tax, and other innu-
merable ways; but always dodge the
only practicable solution of the diff
Guilty to my mind, i. e., the farmer
and those contiguous to the roads to
be benefited. Just as long as we keep
looking for something or somebody,
nobody knows what or who, to pro-
vide us all with good roads to travel
on, we are pretty sure to walk in the
mud. When we are once thoroughly
disabused of that idea, and we realize
that good roads, if they come at all,
come the same way as good houses,
barns, fences and other improvements,
come by individual effort and expense,
we will soon be able to enjoy them.
Judge Bicycle says: Don't haul lot
of small stones in the road to make
the traveller miserable" Other judges
say; Don't haul in loose dirt to
make a bed Of mud the next time it
rains" If there is any other availa-
BILE commodity suitable for making
roads, we farmers would like to hear
of it, as those of us at any rate who

the value to health of the pure liquid

P1LLsBURY.s ALWAYS THE BEST.

Attacks on the Celebrated Brands of Flour
of the PiIlsbury- washburn Company
Fall Flat.
The National Pure Food Exposition, now
being held at Battery D, is a financial and
artistic success. There is an interesting
rivalry between the exhibitors that furnishes
both profit and amusement to the visitors.
The only thing to be regretted is that the
representative of a brand Of flour appears
to think 1t necessary to make absurd and
unreliable statements about the Well-knOwn
Pillsbury brand of -four in order to call at
tention TO the merits of the product which
he represents. His statements, probably
unauthorized and made without the knowl-
edge of his employers, are not only alb
surd, but are offensive to the thousands of
visitors who know that Pillsburys Best is
without a rival in the -four markets of the
world. For twenty-four years it has main
tanned its supremacy, being the first patent
process -four to be placed upon this market.
1t has established itself in the affections OF
nearly every housewife in the land. There
is not a baker or bread-maker that does not
know that Pillsburys Best is the best
Other fours are often used because retail
ers find it more profitable for the time be-
ing, to sell flours which cost them less and
consequently give them a larger profit. The
Plllsbury Mills are the largest in the world
and the Pillsbury -four is universally con-
ceded 10 be the brand par ercetience. Con-
sumers say that manufacturers Of other
patent ftours have never yet succeeded in
maintaining the high standard without va
ration for a series Of years, which appears
to be a secret known only to the makers Of
Pillsbury's Best,
There is a market for tlours of all grades
and makes, and it is to be regretted that the
representative of any firm should have the
mistaken idea that sales can be made by
disappearing a -four of international
reputation. This representative also at
tacks the celebrated brand Of Washburn's
Best, also made by the Pillsbury -Washburn
Flour Mills company, as an imitation Of some
Of the brands of -four made by the Washburn-
Crosby company. This is very amusing,
and simply shows dense ignorance when
the fact is known that the brand of Wash
burns Best has been on the markets Of this
country twenty years, while the present
brand of Washburn-Crosby's superlative is
only three years old.
