WOMEN TEMPT PICKPOCKETS.

Disregard of Ordinary Precautions
Results In Loss of Valuablcs.
Little sympathy is aroused in the
average man when he hears that
woman Of the day has been victim
Of pickpockets, and, as rule, if he is
at all outspoken, his comment will be:
cit served her right" Most men think,
and there is reason in their idea, that
the dress of woman to-day is an in
vitation to the light-fngered gentry.
She wears her watch dangling from
fragile chatelaine, the other end Of
which is attached insecurity to her
belt or pinned to the dress waist; or
she may reverse the order of things
and put the watch in her belt, while
from it a light chain depends, and on
that she wears a charm frequently as
heavy as the timepiece itself. In either
case a deft thief could disengage the
entire outfit without much effort. The
practice Of carrying a pocketbook In
the hand is a careless one, and women
who lose their purses have only them
selves to blame, says the New York
Tribune. The man or woman who
would make a name for himself or
herself should devise a safe and con-
venient pocket for woman's dress.

Making Cement.

S. D. S. would like to be told how IT,
make cement that, when dry, becomes
hard like stone. Answer: This de-
ponds somewhat on the use to be made
of the cement. For areaways, walks,
etc., one of the best mixtures is one
part of Portland cement and three parts
of good, clean sand. The sand must be
free from earth and vegetable matter,
and Of such quality that water will
run from it nearly clear. Mix the
cement and sand thoroughly by sift-
ing or shoveling, then put into a box
and very quickly wet it thoroughly, so
that it will be of the consistency of
good, stiff mortar. 1t must be used at
once, for it sets almost as quickly as
plaster of Paris. 1t takes some hours
possibly some days, to become thor
oughly dry. While it is still damp
if a finer finish is required, mix cement
with an equal quantity of sand and put
on an outer coat and allow this to dry
A thin covering Of pure cement and
water, about as thick as stiff batter
makes finish almost equal to earthen-
ware. Properly made and worked, this
cement will stand heat and frost with
out injury. It should, however, be
thoroughly dried before winter

Electric Power In Steel Works
A notable utilization Of electric pow
er is about to be made at Duquesne,
Pa, where six blast furnaces will be
erected for operation in conjunction
with the extensive steel works located
there. The furnaces will be the larg-
est ever built and the plant will be SO
equipped that most Of the work will
be done automatically by electric or
steam power AS showing how entire
~ old methods are being superseded,
there will not be single belt in the
whole power station, as the genera
tors will be connected directly to the
steam engines, and the arc machines
will be similarly connected to the cleo
trio motors that will drive them. The
electric power station is to generate
about 5000 horsepower for light and
power. Among the many applications
Of electricity that will be seen in this
essentially modern installation are
thirty very powerful electric cranes,
three or more electric travelling bridges
over 25O feet span, the largest ever
built for unloading ore, about fifteen
electric motor cars, half dozen cleo
trio conveyors, and a large number Of
stationary motors for driving miscel-
laneous apparatus. In the Homestead

Scientific Wool wing.

According to the story of a sheep
raiser from Georgia, who has been
telling all about his calling, the life Of
a sheep run in that state must be full
Of variety. He says the profits Of
sheep raising vary much more than
they ought, and that they could be
brought to a higher and more uniform
average if systematic sheep husbandry
were intro duced. The rarge Of profits
runs from 10 per cent under no man
agement at all to 25, so and some
times 100 per cent on capital invested.
The prime object in keeping sheep is
wool, and cid sheep, when fat off the
native pastures-the woods-are sold
for mutton. The breed is the native
or piney woods, crossed slightly with
the merino grade. They are worth
from $1.25 to 81 a head. The wool is
sold to the merchants in the nearest
town. 1t is disposed of unwashed,
and weighs from three to four pounds
fleece, according to the season and
pastures. The sheep are sheared in
early summer. Lands sell at from 81
to SIS an acre. The native sheep is in
digenous to the Georgia soil, and
having such hardy, self-reliant self
supporting, valuable animal to rear,
and at such low cost for support, the
wool growers of Southern Georgia are
the most independent and prosperous
sheep raisers in ChristendOm.

EGG MATCHING IN EGYPs
A Method of Incubation Which Is
as Old as the Christian Era

Among the fellahs of Egypt a pro-
cess of incubation is in use which has
been handed down from antiquity,
perhaps from the time of Diodorus.
who, forty years before the Christian
era, said that the Egyptians brought
eggs to maturity with their own hands
and that the chickens Matched thus
were not Inferior to those Matched in
the usual way. The process is de-
scribed in Nature:
Ovens are built, consisting of
chamber eleven feet square and four
feet high, with fiat roof. Above this
another chamber. nine fleet high, is
built. with a vaulted roof having a
small opening in the middle to admit
light. Below larger opening commu-
nlcates with the room underneath. In
cold weather both rooms are kept
closed and lamp is left burning in
each, entrance then being had through
the lower chamber
When the oven is ready the Dropri-
etor goes to the neighboring villages
and collects eggs. They are placed on
mats, streWn with bran, in the lower
chamber. Fires are then lighted in
troughs along the sides of the upper
room, the eggs being in two lines i'm
mediately below. The fires are light
ed twice day, the first dying out at
noon and the other burning from 3 to
in the evening. The first batch of
eggs is left for half day in the warm
est place, and then it makes way for
the next, until all have been warmed.
This process is kept up for six days,
when the eggs are examined carefully
IN strong light Those that are clear
are cast aside. Those that are cloudy
are put back in the oven for another
four days. They are then removed for
five days to another chamber, where
there are no fires, but the air is ex-
cluded. After this they are placed an
inch or two apart and continually
turned this last stage taking six or
seven days.
The eggs are examined constantly by
being held against the upper eyelid to
reveal if they are warmer than the
human skin. The whole process lasts
! twenty-one days, but thin-shelled eggs
often hatch in eighteen. The heat re-
| quired is Sc degrees Fahrenheit. Ex-
cessive heat is undesira ble.-New York

American Machinery ii Japan,

=.
Advices from Japan, in treating Of
the omnipresence Of electrical devices
in that country, make special note, Of
the extent to which American ma
chinery is in favor. At the electric
generating station of the Lake Biwa-
Kioto canal twenty 100 horsepower
Pelton water wheels are installed.
These wheels are belted with Edison,
Thompson-Houston and Brush dyna-
mos, with - countershafts between
them, Lately a hree-phase, dynamo
Of Siemens & Halske has been added.
The work Of this plant is extremely
interesting, and the installation shows
how keenly alive the Japanese are to
the possibilities OF electricity. The
canal, which provides the water power
for the generating station, is crossed
by several bridges. Near the water
power station is an incline, along
which boats with cargo are moved up
and down on wheeled cradles. The
cradles are hauled by steel ropes pass
ing around a drum, which is worked
by electricity from the power house.
essary by the descent of the canal at
this point, 11S feet in 1876 feet, to the
level of the city. The gradient of the
canal incline is 1 in Is. Double lines
Of railways, consisting of fat-bot-
toned steel rails, are laid on wooden
sleepers. The gauge is s feet inches.
Two cradles, each with eight wheels,
are so arranged that one goes up while
another Is descending. The width Of
the boat is feet and the length As
feet. The weight Of the cargo is from
10 to Is tons, and the time of the pass
age of the cradle is about - minutes.
Not only are the cradles moved up
and down the canal incline by the cleo
trio motor, but the electric power is
used for spinning, weaving, in the
manufacture of clocks and watches,
needles, oil, lemonade, ice, soda water
factories, rolling mills rice mills and
for pumping water for the innumera-
BILE bath houses which are situated
within a radius Of two miles from the
power station Besides these the sta
ton supplies electricity in the day
time to the Kioto Electric Railway
company and at night to the Kioto
Electric Light company. The cost Of
the power ranges from $40 to $50 per
horsepower per year for daily rates
of twelve hours; for eighteen hours
the increase is 80 per cent and for
twenty-four hours it is SO per cent. II

HoAR AND THE JOKER.

Revenge of q Colored Man on the States.
+ man from Backbay.
Sherman Hoar took a painful part
In an incident, a star part at that,
which, while grief inspiring in all its
phases, couldn't be called fight. Nor
was it exactly with member OF con-
gress, although the foe had close bust
ness relations with the house. Hoar
was very young, and, to his disgust,
very much resembled in personal ap-
pearance one of the head pages OF the
house. This head page was great
practical joker, and the butt of much
of his humor was sleepy darby who
had charge of the house Mushroom.
This Congo was prone to sit in chair
in the Mushroom and slumber. The
funny head page would sly up to him
as he slumbe and tip him over on the
floor This was joke. Before the
Congo could recover himself for ven
geance the head page would be back
in the house, beyond whose green balze
portals no humble black man might
pursue his prey.
lone afternoon the humorous page
tipped over the sleepy colored man sew
eral times. 1t gave the head page great
joy. The victim of all this fun lusted
for revenge. He would give a weeks
salary for an opportunity to play re-
turn game with his tormentor.
1T was four o'clock in the afternoon
when, opening his eyes after a cat nap,
he beheld his prosecutor bending over
wash basin, refreshing his face.
The bedevilled Congo's Joy was uncon-
fined. The Lord had delivered the enc
my into his hands.
"The negro is not an originator. At
best, he is only an imitator. In this
supreme hour of triumph our poor
black friend could think OF nothing
better than to creep to the unsuspect-
ing tyrant and kick him.. This he did,
and he threw all the force of his trop-
ical nature into the caress. He kicked
the enemy soundly and roundly, and
then stood back to enjoy his victory.
THE force Of this rear end collision
drove the victims head against the
wall with amazing force. It was not
unnatural that he should look up. He
did so, and the darby was Mortified
when he recognized the features OF
Sherman Hoar, representative from the
Boston Backbay district. The darky
did not faint, for the reason that dar-
kies never faint. But he grew several
shades lighter at the thought Of what
he had DONE
"Hoar, on his part, could not find
words to express his indignant astonish.
ment. At last the poor darby managed
to explain, in the most humble and con-
trite fashion, that he had mistaken
Hoar for the head page, who oppressed
him. Hoar granted him forgiveness
although in his proud heart he regard
ed the explanation as a greater insult
than the assault. After that, too, Hoa1
bathed his face at his hotel. He die
not care to take further risks in thu
house washroom, for the kick had no
diminished his resemblance to thu

UNITED STATES POAT OFFICE
It Handles as Much Mail Matter as
the Whole of Europe.

It Handles as Much Mail Matter a,
the Whole of Europe.
The United States has 100000
population, Europe has 3SO,OOO,OOO,-
But the United States postoffice han
dies about as much mail matter as all
Europe put together In 1895 the
- United ate IS States railway mail handled
lO,1T $4,000 pieces. Mulhall gives
the number Of pieces in all Europe as
9,237 100000 in 1888. Some increase
has taken place since then, and Rus
STA Is omitted from Mulhall's tables;
but the aggregate to-day is not over
1900 10000 or just about equal to
our railway mail service mail.
The cost of our mail service is far
below the aggregate Of all Europe.
The entire cost of our postal system in
1893 was $84,321 ,4S9. A return just
made by the Berne International Blu
reau gives the expenses of the eight
European nations, which combine post
and telegraph expenses, at $1S5 OOO,-
600. The expenses of nine nations
which have post Office alone We're
$25,OOO,OOO. In all Europe handled in
1898 about 11,OOO,OOOOOO pieces for
$21O,OOG,0OO, while this country han
died about the same number of pieces
for $S5,OOO.00O.
This disproportion is. however, no
credit to the United States. It is due
to the fact that in almost all Euro
peans countries farmers have their
mail delivered at their doors. Here
the farmer is required to go for his
mail. Abroad rural and city districts
are treated alike in free delivery, save
that deliveries are more frequent In
cities than in the country.
The United States Post Office De-
partment is not only the greatest in
the world-and it's expenditure is
greater than that Of any one country,
Germany coming next with SGT, 7OO,-
0OO-but it's growth is more rapid. In
1850, according to- DR.. Won Neumnnn
spedlart, Europe handled 1884 900 600
pieces OF postal matter. The aggre-
gate is now little over twice this.
In the same period the mail matter in
our own post Office department has
grown nearly threefold. In 1865 the
Frankfurter Zeitung" placed the total
number of letters in the whole world
at 2.3OO,O00,0OO. Down to 1893 this
number according to Mulhall. had
about trebled. rising to 100000 900.
In the last thirty years in this coun-
try the number Of letters has growD

from which the following practical
conclusions are drawn: Grating wax
proves better than soil or cow ma
nure in application to injuries from
mice and rabbits. Trees in cultivated
ground have darker and more vigorous
foliage than those in sod ground, with
less yellowing, dropping of leaves or
whiting in hot, windy days. Apples
averaged II per cent greater weight
on cultivated than on pasture land,
and II per cent. greater than on now
