The Magic Kiss.

One Of the most popular attractions OF
the current season has been an opera en-
sitled The Magic Kiss" 1t tells the story
eOf maid whose virgin kisses bring re-
Haewed youth. For instance, she marries
man hundred years old and three kisses
bring him down to twenty-five years of age,
when he stops, fearful of being kissed out
'of existence. The magic kiss of nature
'orings youth and longevity to those who
dive along the line of the Saint Paul &
Duluth Railroad, which runs through the
most healthful and decidedly the most pic
turesque portion of the Northwest
Eng a chain of the most beautiful lakes in
the country. This line is known generally
as the Duluth Short line and runs fast,
we'll equipped and convenient trains over a
smooth road bed between the finest of ter
animals at st. Paul, Minneapolis. Duluth,
West Superior, Saltwater, Taylor's Falls
and other points, including the new Inter-
State park at the Dalles Of the st. Croix
and countless we'll known and sequestered
summer resorts. Always take the Duluth
Short line. For circulars, maps, ETC., apply

An Electric Incubator.

The idea Of Matching eggs by cleo
tricity may appear somewhat far
fetched, but electric incubation is not
only being carried on in Germany, but
is growing into large industry. A
Strasburg electrician, who has been
experimenting for three years, proves
that with the electrical incubator 80
chickens can ordine- lily be counted on
out of every 100 eggs incubated. Ills
apparatus is made for so, 100 or 200
eggs, and not only obviates many Of
the difficulties connected with the or
binary form of incubator, but makes
the process of Matching surer and
quicker than it has ever been. The
manipulation of the apparatus is
brought down to very simple phase,
the main feature being the mainte-
nance of a carefully regulated and un-
interrupted supply of current. An au-
tomato attachment keeps the tempera-
ture within one-tenth of a degree Of
the normal heat Of incubation. The
degree Of saturation of the air is sim
flarly maintained. The quantity Of
current required is very small. After
the chickens are Matched they are
turned into an electric mother" the
upper part Of which is devoted to the
freshly Matched birds only while the
lower part is arranged so that the
chicks can run around on the ground,
and at the same time find heat and
protection when they desire it. The
electric Incubator has been found Of

5 Vator IN large new Representative
I buildings in Chicago, Minneapolis and
san francisco, after open competition
q with the hydraulic, and it's superiority
is now recognized by many: of the
leading architects of the country. One
OF these has expressed the opinion that
the electric elevator is to the hydrau-
TIC what the electric car is to the horse
car, and that the older system is DOOM
ca. He adds: Il unhesitatingIy assert
that the hydraulic elevator has finally
met It's rival, that it is passing sys-
tenn, and that in the comparatively
near future the electric elevator for
the highest class of service, will prove
as much of an advance over the hy-
draullc as the latter has proved better
than the steam machine. I have had
an unequaled opportunity for seeing,
under every possible condition of hard
service and adverse circumstances. the
development Of this type Of elevator"
AS there are not less than 10000 ele-
vators in operation in the United
States, the commercial Importance Of
this addition to the electrical field will
be seen. Central stations are already
laying themselves out for electric ele-
vator business, and one station in
New York is now running some 25O
electric elevators of q total" of 5000
horsepower. Although this system is
adapted for heavy work, especially in
tall buildings, and is coming into gen.
eral use on account Of fits saving in
space, ease of handling and high ell
cheney for business purposes, one Of
the most important Of it's affiliations
Will be for domestic needs. In five
years time we'll appointed house will
as naturally have an electric elevator
as bath room. TO many delicate
and elderly persons the mounting Of
steps is a grievous burden, if not a
serious sourse Of injury, and before
long stairs will be looked upon as a.
barbarism. It is now as easy and
cheap to have an electric elevator in
a private house as in a large office
building: The cost of operating it in,
say, a f1ve-story house, making fifty
or sixty trips every day, will not ex-
ceed $3 or 81 month. It is made to.
work automatically, so that there is
not the slightest danger. An invalid
or child can operate it; it stops only
at each floor and starts only when the
elevator door is closed. For starting.
the old lever is discarded, and all that
is necessary is to press button.

NEW WAYS TO CATCH FISH.
Imitation of a Tiger Trap and Elec.
trio Light Devices.

imitation of a Tiger Trap and Elec-
trio Light Devices.
Some novelties in the way of fishing
devices are being tried on this years
run Of weakfsh. One of the most
striking of them is due to William r..
Lamb, of East Greenwich, R. l., an old
fisherman who has for many years
had the idea that more fish are to be
caught by scheming than by real hard
work and broiling in the hot sun. His
invention is adapted from the tiger
trap of India. The latter consists of a
large cage in which is placed a mirror,
and beneath the mirror the body of
freshly-killed goat. The tiger is at
tracted by the smell of the fresh blood
and sees himself in the mirror, and
thinking it is another tiger trying to
get ahead of him leaps into the cage.
Then down comes the heavy lid ana

about 10 inches lopg 8, 81 hich is attach
ed to the line by means Of IA ring in
the frame. "A horizontal arm extends
little distance on each side of the
mirror, and has at each end ring to
receive an auxiliary line with hook
attached SO as to hang down to about
the center of the mirror. A fish com
ing up catches sight of it's reflection,
and the theory is that it will dash at
the bait, and hook itself all the faster
in the attempt to get ahead of the 9th
er fish. The inventor says that he has
already tried this scheme successful
ly. He proposes to experiment with
three sided mirrors with view of still
further increasing it's efficacy. II"
The electric light is likely to play a
big part in the fishing Of the future.
A MI. Trouse, of Albany, has in pre-
paraticn a net which is operated with
al electric light. The light is placed
in position and the rets are set either
to seward of it or around it, fiat upon
the bottom. When the fish are attract
ed to the light rubber tube, which
runs along the top of the net, is in
fated by a pump in the boat, and the
upper edge of the net will rise to the
surface, the lower edge being held
down by suitable sinkers ::
Another novelty is a very taking
weakfsh rig, evidently modelled on the
sun rig of three seasons ago. 1t is a
pinch bar with q swivel in the center
and at each end is another swivel
which is made to work easily by a
tiny glass bead. This will keep the
two hooks we'll separated, and is a
good 1Oc worth. Still, another item is

large grab scissors, intended to grasp

| awkwardly hooked blufish, to avoid
the spines of a sea bass or a perch, to

means least, to lift pots and pans off
the camp fire. Then there is a bait
box, which slips on the, belt and fits
the body. Rubber finger covers are

A Woman Horse-Cl1pper.

Worcester, Mass, claims to possess
"the only woman horse-clippe1'' in the
United States. For twenty-five years
the woman who follows this unique
business has been clipping horses, and
she has made such a success Of her
work that there is a Heat balance to
her credit in one of the Worcester
banks. Mrs. Curtis was Mrs. William
Drawer when she began (. to clip
horses. She did 1t at first to assist her
husband, who had more work than he
could conveniently do. Her husband
had doubts as to her ability, but she
had not been long at work before he
admitted her skill. Three years ago
he died, and last year his widow mar
ried Louis III. Curtis.s sThe establish
ment is run by Mrs. Curtis, however,
and she does great deal Of the work
with her own hands. During the busy
seasons, from October to December,
and from March to May, She can make
from $50 to $50 a day. Philad elpbia

WHAT VI CONSTITUTES 4 LarrE1s.

Some Points Not Generally Knovv1
a#$5 About ForetEn Mails.
Most people have supposed that any.
thing sealed against inspection and de-
livered to the postofice constituted 1n
effect "a ''letter," which at the regula'
ton rate of &c postage ler ounce the b
mail service would be obliged to for.
ward to it's destination. SO TAR as the
domestic service is concerned, tb,s sup
position may be correct, ana Wouid
seem to lie impelled by the WORDING
of official decisions, which declare that
.'all matter sealed or otherwise closed
against inspection is also Of the nrst
class" But with the foreign mail SER
vice, at least, the condition is different.
A provision in the postal treaty speet
fies that letters Gin their usual and or
binary FORM are to be forwarded at
a given rate. Just what constituted
this usual and ordinary FORM has
not till now been defined and officially
declared, and this is the way in which
the definition was brought out:
? A Boston architect offered at the
postofice in that city sealed roll adj
dressed to the Commissioner Of Pa
tents at Ottawa, Canada, on which the
proper amount Of postage at letter
rates, had been paid. The clerk in
charge of the window declined to re-
celve the roll as a letter, and on the
matter being referred to him.. Post
master Coveney decided that the term
letter is to be construed to mean and
embrace sealed packages consisting of
an envelope Of any size, but fat, as is
the usual letter. The objector did not
think that this ruling and definition
of a letter was correct, and gave his
opinion that a letter twas package
containing personal matter Of no sala-
bic value" The matter being referred
to the authorities at Washington for
decision, the Superintendent of: For.
eign Mails in due time forwarded a
decision embodying the joint opinions
of a Canadian and American postal
authorities, to the effect that 'the.ter
letter. in it's usual and ordinary form,
is to be construed to embrace sealed
packages consisting Of an envelope of
any size, but of the usual letter shape,
and it's contents; but that rolls or q
package not inclosed in an envelope
as the word envelope is generally
used, cannot be considered to be a
letter in it's usual and ordinary FORM
A sealed package in the form of a roll
is, therefore not entitled to transmits
sion in the mails exchanged between
the United States and Canada; and
your Office was correct in declining to
receive the sealed roll mentioned"
This would seem to settle the matter
as to what constitutes a letter within
the meaning of: the postal treaties-

The Scholars OF France

From Paris letter: AS sample of
the payment of distinguished schol-
ars in this country it may be mention
ed that M. CASTOR Boissier, who was
lately elected life Secretary Of the
academy, only received 5000 annually
as rector of the College de France.
In his new position he is entitled to
81 200, Or double the sum paid him as
head Of the great educational establish
ment over which Ernest Renan ruled.
The Immortals, according to the foun-
Sation rules, are supposed to be paid
$500 yearly, in addition to their fees
for attending meetings. AS a matter
Of fact, however, they only receive
5000 annually. The remainder of the
sum forms a sinking fund, out Of
which eight aged academicians get al
lowances, if their private annual in.

AN IDEAL FARM.
Fourteen Varieties of Crops In the
Place Of Wheat.

fourteen Varieties of Crops In the
Place of Wheat.
General Freight Agent Moore, Of the
Northern Pacific, has been searching many
years for an ideal Western farm. and
thinks he has found 1t. He has made
deep study of the diversified farming ques-
ton, and his ideal farm is cultivated on Inc
'broadest diversified plan. 1t belongs to
George Nj. Bennett of Westport, MIMI, on
the Little Falls & Dakota branch OF the
Northern Pacific. Mr.. Moore has recently
sent letters to various prominent farmers
on the line, asking them to what extent
their crops and products are diverslhed
What the ideal farm, ideally diversified.
aseally is can be best learned by reading Mr..
Benefits reply, which is as follows:
Answering your inquiry as to what am
doing by way of diversifying my crops on
Westport farm, wish to say: In the place
of $50 acres I usually sowed wheat previ-
Gus to my change in the system, have 1or
the present years crop as follows: Wheat,
IS acres; oats, IS acres; barley. 80 acres'
thax, Is acres; corn, 20 acres; buckwheat'
10 acres; millet, IS acres; rye, 80 acres;
peas, 50 acres; potatoes, 80 acres; beans, W
acres; onions, 2 acres; mangel, wurzel'
tbeets, etc., 3 acres; sweet corn, 1 acre;
total, 619 acres; balance to hay.
's1 supplement this cropping with hogs.
The plan is to market the most saleable
and less saleable stuff. The hog, if he has
proper care and attention, plays very I'm
portant part in diversied farming, and 1T
rs a great mistake to attempt to get along
without him. All of the crops, except
onions, named in this list can be used to
advantage in hog raising. 1t is an error to
claim corn the king Of hog food II
space permitted I would demonstrate this
assertion We have all the elements re-
.quired for successful hog raising, and l
hope to see our farmers give serious and
spractical attention to the subject"
Editorial Note-Having called the atten-
,tion of Gen. Flower, president of the st.
Paul Union Stock Yards company (who is
recognized authority on proper hog feed
ing, to the foregoing, he remarked: "Mr.
BENEFITS position is correct, that while
corn is excellent hog food it will not pro-
.duce as good meat as a mixed ground ra-
ton of small grains, especially wheats bar
ley and oats, and that more profitable re-
suits were attainable from the latter.
