Drinking the Oueen,s Health.

On the occasion of the queens birthday
Englishmen all over the globe and In ev-
cry country unite in drinking her maj
esty's health. 1t is only on such occasions
rs these that the ordinary British citizen
gets an opportunity to toast the queen, al
though the custom of drinking this toast
has long prevailed ut officers mess in the
army. Formerly these toasts were cxpen-
sive. the custom being to drink them ''in
broken glass that is to say the officers
as they drained their wine glasses snapped
the shanks between their fingers, the sig
nificauce being that after having been hon
orod in this manner glasses should never
again be used. Today no such extravagant
custom is followed, but the queen health
is drunk and the same formula is pre-
served The ranking officer at the head of
the table rises. and this is the signal for
the others to rise also. Then the chair
man. with becoming dignity and address
ing the officer at the foot of the table,
says, Mr.. Vice. the queen"
Tho queen, God bless herl" is the re-
ply, and God bless berr' is tho echo from
all at the hoard and the forInality is then
oyer.-Troy Times.

Danish Country Life.

Mrs. Alec Tweedie, an English woman,
has been calling attention TO the country
life of the people of Denmark, with special
reference to their dairy system.
There must be thousands of women In
this country, to say nothing of cottagers'
and farmers wives who might be making
the additional incomes they SO sorely need
If they would but keep few fowls and a
possible COW, as every other Danish woman
does, whatever her station may be- But
cooperation must be secured first. Singly,
no one in this country can do much in
this way; collectively money can be
amassed And this only means that one
person in district should undertake to
make house to house collection week by
week of all the eggs for the nearest mar
ket, and that all milk should be sent in
bulk to butter factories instead of being
made up in small quantities as it is now,
and sent off to find us all as best it can
Mrs. Tweedle conclusively proves that
Denmark, with all It's advantages, is wax
ing fat on money, while we grumble that
there is none to be made. London Fort.

SHE STOPPED THE CAR.
A Chicago Landlady Who Snbdued the
Man Who Manipulated the Grip.

The landady was not at the head of tho
table, ms usual, in North Side boarding
house the other night, and as n conse-
quence the boarders were getting hilarious
when the lantllady came in, considerably
out of breath. A hush Immediately fell
upon the company, and they began TO cat
gratefully what was provided for them.
The landlady had been delayed by Mr.
YerkeS' cable cars and then Mr. Ycrkcs'
cable cars had been delayed by the land
lady, was the information she managed to
convey when she had got her breath. The
tirst part they were prepared to believe
and the last was not improbable. 1t was
sure to be a dramatic story anyhow. Thcy
could imagine how she looked. She
weighed $50, was 3 feet . and invariably
wore beaded dolman, wide hat
trimmed with magenta roses and carried
an umbrella. There was legend that
boarder had once paid his board in ad.
vance up to the end of the month, quietly
left the house and had friend send an
officer to attach his trunks for an imagi-
nary dcbt rs the quictcst way of getting
himself and his belongings out of the
house. 1t was to be believed that she had
stopped cable car
lone train passed me, though I held up
my umbrella she said her small gray
eyes still swapping from excitement II
told the conductor my opinion of him.
When the next train came along dared
the gripman to pass me. He stopped, but
not until he was half way up the block. /
refused to walk in the mud to board his
train and waited. The next one did the
same thing. l measured that train with
my eye, ard after 1t had gone by walked
up tho track the length of train, folded
my arms and stood stock STILL It's clean

Presently n train came along, and, the
grpnan seeing me, began to ring tho bell.

Charcoal Making For Gnnpowder.

Charcoal making for gunpowder is a
much moro complicated process than the
ordinary field kiln manufacture. Only
certain kinds of wood are used-usually
tho young shoots of elder and willow
and 1t Is cut in the spring. so that the
bark may be stripped of. 1t Is then piled
under airy, open sheds and allowed to re-
main several years until it Is thoroughly
dried. When the powder ma ker is ready
for new supply Of charcoal, tho wood is
cut into lengths of three fx1t and placed
In tight iron rctorts, under and around
which fire roars continually. The damp
ers and pipes are so arranged that the
workmen have complete control of the
heat. At the end of the retort hole is
left for the escape of the inaarnmablc gases
resulting from the charring process. A
pipe catches them as they leave the retort
and conveys them into the furnace, where
they take the place of q good deal of fuel.
When the flames of the gas become q
deep blue color, the workmen know that
the wood is sufficiently charrcd, and the
retort is cooled down as quickly as posi-
bic. The charcoal is then left for a week
or more before grinding, because il placed
in the machine at once there Is danger of
spontaneous combustion. The best char
coal is jet black and fractures show vel
vety surfaces.
The grinding machine is like huge old
fashioned coffee mill-two roughened
cones turning one inside the other AS the
powdered charcoal comes out 1t falls upon
a screen, and all that goes through it is
taken to the powder mill, and the residue
failing over" Is returned to the grinder.

The American Cuisine.

Here's praise from an unexpected source.
An English periodical says
THE American cuisine undoubtedly
surpasses our own in tastiness and variety.
Before every meal blue points are served
on crushed ice. To every person at table
are placed six or seven little finger shaped
white china dishes, containing distracting
bonnes bouches such as olives, pistachio
nuts, crisped walnuts, anchovies. dressed
tomatoes, gherkins, etc. AS you talk YOU
nibble pleasantries between the courses
The American women drink much less
wine than we do at meals, though they are
not above calling aloud for whisky cock
tails at promiscuous hours of the day. The
service at table is simply exquisitel Such
dainty china, such flowers, and, oh, ths
Fosesl Why do they have so much longer.

The Wild West show which exhibited
here a week ago left behind several en-
ployes who, on account of some grievance,
refused to continue with the show.
Among them were two cowboys with long
hair, broad brimmed hats, etc, who, to keep
from starving, have been giving exhibi-
tions of throwing knives, etc They com
plain of the small collections that they
receive. One of our ice men offered them
work at ST. day, but they have an
idea that that is not the kind of exercise
they are hankering for.
