Bagging Trousers.

A genius, who has devoted a great
deal of his time to the question, has,
he says, discovered how to prevent
trousers from bagging at the knee.
This is a piece of news which should
send the public, or at least the male
portion Of it, into transports of Joy.
1t will be no longer necessary for the
poverty stricken dude to put his
trousers under the mattress at night,
nor for wives, who are proud of their
husbands, to iron their trousers-the
husbands trousers-after they have
gone to bed.
The theory which has been evolved
is that all trousers are cut from cloth
in which the thread runs up and down
and straight across the leg. Hence,
when the strain comes on the knee
of the trousers. those threads stretch,
because the strain is directed upon
them, and the trousers bag. A tailor
has made pair of trousers so that
the threads run diagonally across the
leg, and the result is said to be highly
satisfactory. The strain is distributed
indirectly upon the threads of the
cloth, and the trousers fall back into
their proper shape as soon as the
strain has been removed.-N. Y. Sun

! edal Grip.

An English device for enabling
cyclists to obtain a firm grip on the
pedal is now in use. 1t consists of
steel plates with leather blocks for
fastening to the sole of the shoe, with
the object of affording cyclists a firm
grip on the pedals. 1t is claimed that
by using this appliance the shoe can
not slip, and the rider is able to
claw the pedal round, so to speak,
a new method of riding recommended,
we understand, by well-known cyclists
as the correct way of pedaling, since,
to great extent, it overcomes the
dead center.n
A great advantage in connection
with these blocks is that, when not re-
CURED for riding purposes, they can
be readily removed, thus making
walking easier and more pleasant than
when the blocks are nailed to the
shoe, as in the old system.

Peerless Uncle Sa m.

An officer of the japanese navy has
written letter to a friend in this
country, in which he speaks highly OF
the efficiency of several American
electric searchlights used in the fleet
to which he is attached. These lights
stood the test of actual service better
than the English and German ap-
paratus, which will be doubtless con,
demned by a board of survey. He
also states that the best maps of the
Yellow sea and Corea are from the
United States photographic Office in
Washington; these maps and charts
are compiled with the latest data, and
the principal roads in Corea are clearly

Shooting wild Geese.

Seashore gunners hold that the wild
goose can count two, but not three.
Accordingly, it is customary in pre-
pairing to shoot wild geese from g
blind or some detached ribbon Of
marsh for three men to row over tc
the station together and for two Of
them to return to the mainland. The
geese, being unable to count above
two, believe when they see the two
men returning that no enemy has beer
left upon the marsh, and approach
the spot without fear. 1t is asserted
that if only two men go out and only
one returns the geese will carefully
avoid the region of the blind.

Charcoal iron.

A company has been formed to at
tempt to reconstruct the manufacture
of charcoal iron in the province O.
Connaught, Ireland, where some o.
the richest ores are located. Hitherto
the prohibitive price of peat charcoal
has precluded the profitable manufac'
ture of charcoal iron. This impede
ment has been removed by the "Rose
retorts," which produce an excellent
charcoal at low cost, while the by
products (sulphate of ammonia, ETC.
can be saved and also lessen the price
of the charcoal.

Deafness Can Not be Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inHamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Icaused by catarrh)

MARRIED MEN FOR USHERs.
How They May Mako Themselves VAL
liable to the Bridegroom.


liable to the Bridegroom.
The married men are beginning tc
come brilliantly to the front as ushers
at weddings and the bachelors are re.
served for duty as best men, says the
Boston Herald. The matrimonial vet,
Grams are the proper men to take
charge of the new recruit in their
ranks and give him the regulation
set up in domestic drill. They are
more in sympathy with him and can
brace him up for his appearance under
fire. They can also give him mum
Der of valuable pointers as to how
he is to keep the peace. In
one country, at least, it used
to be the custom for the
brides father to give the groom the
switch, as a symbol of transfer OF
paternal authority and significant
reminder to the bride of the import
ance of wifely obedience. In America,
however, this relic of barbarism would
not be necessary, it being understood
that all brides are going to be obedi-
ent, loving and faithful wives. AS a
proof of this, one has only to look
around among his friends and read
carefully the daily divorce proceedings
to see how far lovely woman is living
up to the standard, and, on the
other hand, how the whole coast of So
ciety is strewn with the wrecks of
lives through the disobedience, frac-
tiousness and extravaganza of women
and the misguided forbearance and
general inability to enforce their au-
thority peculiar to American husbands.
1t is here that the married men who
are glittering successes can as ushers,
guides, philosophers and friends get
in their finest work by their advice,
example and precept. 1t may be that
they are making a beginning by hav-
ing the organist play ''Oh, Promise
Me That Some Day" you will obey; it
being, under the circumstances,
proper to point a moral in song, in
stead of having it 'adorn tale" of
woe hereafter 1t may be that the
married men as ushers chuckle among
themselves over another prisoner
brought in, another doomed man, as
it were, in matrimonial row. Be this
as it may, they rarely have the nerve
to openly indulge in ghoulish glee at
the wedding breakfast, right under the
noses of their own vigilant-eyed
spouses. Let us hope, however, that
there is likely to be rejoicing over one
sinner of a bachelor who has chosen
the better part and forsaken the evil
of his ways, and is now numbered
with the elect, with the halo of
beauty's love and the harp of domes-
tic harmony in his hand. The Tyre
will come later. Make friends, then,
girls, with the married men. They
know who will suit you better than
you do yourselves. They always have
in stock or up their sleeves among
their friends the very best material
out of which the kindest and blindest
husbands are made.

The BrIton and His Silk Hat.

No orthodox, respectable Briton
would ever dream of going to church
on Sunday in a straw hat or derby.
Tall silk tiles are de rigueur. and
ever since that announcement head
dress came into fashion, at the be-
ginning of the century. 1t has al
ways been problem as to how to dis
pose of it in the most convenient man
ner during divine service. If one puts
it on the floor beneath the seat it gets
covered with dust, while if it is placed
on the seat it is likely to be sat upon,
to the invariable delight and satisfac-
ton of ones fellow worshipers.

A COOPERATIVE TOWN.
An English City Where Everybody Join.
in OwnershiD


in Ownership.
Oldham, Lancashire, although COM
paratively speaking modern town,
and peopled almost exclusively by the
working classes, holds and leads in
many respects, but especially in its
cooperative movements. No town in
the kingdom owns as many joint stock
or limited companies, which in their
turn. have created other cooperative
combinations, says the Philadelphia
Record
Its cooperative stores consist of
two societies, each with a member
ship of nearly 1000. These societies
were the pioneers of the ..limited''
movement in Oldham, and the cotton
industry was the first business
they began with. Such rapid
strides has it made that Oldham
is known far and wide as the .divi."
The cooperative societies spread still
further, and now in conjunction with
the societies in adjacent towns own a
large corn-mill, thus sharing the
profits to be made in grinding the
grain
There are in Oldham district, in the
cotton trade alone, about $50 limited
companies, the majority of which have
been formed since 1872, with capitals
varying from 100000 to f15,00O,
chiefly divided into f5 shares. These
companies, seeing the profits accruing
from buying the raw material, at once
formed the Oldham cotton buying
company, limited, almost every COM
pany having shares; consequently it is
to their own interest to do business
with the company, and thus share in
the profits. But they do not stop here.
Seeing the large profit made by the
insurance companies, they decided to
form one of their own, and the Feder-
alive insurance company, limited
sprang into existence, each company
holding number of shares and en-
couraging it by transferring their in
surance business to it.
1t is no uncommon thing for some
cotton companies to consist of 400 or
500 and in some cases 700 sharehold-
ers; almost all residing in Oldham.
Scarcely a family in town but what
owns share in some cotton company
or other.
The company movement does not
stop with the staple trade (cotton).
The butchers were not long behind,
and then was formed the Oldham hide,
skin and fat company, limited, which
effectually demoralized private COM
panies in that direction. Even the
bill posting and advertising business
was invaded, the printers forming the
Oldham bill-posting company, limited.
through it posting their own bills and
advertisements. The publicans were
not left in the cold and very soon two
aerated water companies were in full
swing, each publican, so long as he
dealt with the company holding so
many shares. These he must relin-
quish when he ceases to deal with
them. In fact there is no business,
not even poultry farming, which has
escaped the company craze, and it is
a by-word that at one time you could
have floated a dog kennel in Oldham.

while immense cherries, known as the
Centennial, almost equal in size to the
apricots now coming from that State,
cost 40 cents. This snowy variety Is a
California Seeding fruited for the first
time in 1876. 1t is of an amber color,
freely splashed with dark crimson. Its
meaty flesh is remarkably sweet and of
excellent flavor, and while the fruit is
juicy, it has the good market qualities
of keeping well and carrying in good
order. The best of several small lots
of cherries from North Carolina COM
pare favorably with those from Cali
fornia, the highest price of these being
20 cents a pound. California peaches
have already been seen here in small

fruits selling for 81 at wholesale.

Pacific coast is nearly ended, and as
they come in refrigerator cars they

to secure the last of the strippings-the
best part OF the milk. In order to as

from careless work in milking, five
COWS were given to one of our work.
men, A. who was supposed to be

each COW. Nothing was said to him
concerning the object of tine trial At
the end Of the time the same COWS,
with the same feed and care, were
given to another workman, b., who
was told the object of the work. The
results are as follows: Total amount

PRACTICAL IRRIGATION.

Bulletin No. SO of the Utah expert
ment station has been issued. 1t treats
of farm irrigation, by A. A. Mills, and
orchard irrigation, by E. S. Richman.
1t contains seventy-six pages. The
following experiments are reported I'M
der farm irrigation or field-crop irriga-
ton: Amount of water to use, frequen-
cy of irrigation, number of times and
when to irrigate wheat, surface and
sub-irrlgation, night and day irriga-
ton, early and usual irrigation, early
and late and usual irrigation for wheat,
fall and spring irrigation, methods OF
flooding for timothy, furrow and com
mon flooding irrigation. Under orchard
irrigation, experiments are reported as
to differing amounts of water to use
in orchards, and number of times to ir-
rigate. An experiment in surface YER
sus sub-irrigation for the vineyard is
also reported.
These experiments, in most cases,
cover five years work. the same expert
ment being repeated each year. The
results should, therefore, have much
value to the practical irrigators of Utah
and the arid West. The pamphlet may
be had free on application to the Ex-
pertinent station, Logan, Utah.
