KETCHUP COCKTAILS.

Ketchup is now used for other pur-
poses as we'll as for meast and vege-
tables. and greater demand will be
made for its favor if this practice for
using ketchup is kept up. A few even
ings ago I stepped into one of the
neighboring stores which is we'll
stocked with groceries and liquors, and
while making my purchase my atten-
tion was attracted by an unusual call
ing, stepped to one side and beheld a
man standing at the bar counter. The
bartender. who was ready to serve his
cusotmer in any capacity whatever,
asked him to make his wants known,
when, to my surprise. the man called
for beer and ketchup, and, without any
ceremony whatever, the barkeeper drew
from the keg foaming glass of lager
and, together with bottle of ketchup,
he placed them on the bar side by side.
The customer uncorked the ketchup
bottle and spiked we'll the beer with
it's contents, and after lively shaking
up, he gulped it down apparently with
relish, and then departed as myster-
iously as he came. In reply to ques-
tion the bar tender stated that it was
no unusual occurrence to him, as often
ketchnp is used in both whisky and
beer. r.-Richmond (Va.) Star.

LOGGING CAMPS.

Have you ever been in Wisconsin
lumber camp? All the cutting of trees
is done in the winter, so the great logs
can be rolled over the ice and snow to
the river. In the spring they are
started down stream to the mill, the
men following them ON the bank until
the logs get in lock, where they
spring out ON the tangled mass of
loose logs. jumping from one to an
other with dexterity born of experience
and cool -headedness. for it requires
both to tread a rolling log, which may
sink or whirl over more rapidly than
it is possible to calculate upon.
When the logs get into the lock oppo-
site the mill they are stopped. and one
by one sent up an endless chain cable
track to the cutters, who roll and
fasten the logs into cleats, which are
attached to the side of fiat cable Car.
One man attends to the brake, the
other to the log. The car runs the log
against great disk-like saw, that
trims it as easily as we slice fruit
cakes. The cleats are then adjusted
SO the next section shall be taken off.
When the log is half sliced it is
whirled over and the other half treated
in the same way. The first cut from
the log is mainly bark, and this runs
straight down a cable track until it
reaches three or four saws, which cut it
into short lengths for lathes or refuse.
The white smooth slices are carried
up to the edgers by a man who directs
their course, and this edger neatly
trims off the edges; then the plank
runs down another track out doors,
where the inspector sits, pencil in hand,
to mark the worm eaten wood. which
is comparatively worthless, and which
is separated from the good lumber. If
you 60 down to the river bank, where
there are logs piled for cutting, you
can distinctly hear the borers, or
worms, at work under the bark. They
make blinking noise, not unlike a
frogs note or woodpecker's tapping.
The borers rarely infest any but dead,
dry trees, SO the logs are mainly kept in
the water until needed.
The woods composed entirely of pine
trees, with their slender, straight
trunks and top foliage, are very inter-
esting places, and the trees grow 30
close together that it is often very be-
wildering, and makes one ready to be.
lieve all the stories that are told of
people lost in the pines.
The mills are filled with delicious
odor of pine pitch, and the loggers and
lumber men are usually sturdy look
ing lot of men, which perhaps shows
the salutary effect of living among the
life.giving pines.

name have either died or gone out of
the business.
''But the coin business holds its
own remarkably we'll in spite of hard
times. During the months of the de-
preston there were fewer sales made,
but those that were made were at the
standard prices. When it comes to
coin prices is the time that the public
misleads itself, and because dealer
will not give fancy prices for what men
consider rare coins they imagine they
are being illused. AS matter of fact,
the value of coins depends as much ON
their condition as ON their date. The
fine coin of collector is one that no
matter what is its age. has the sheen
of the mint still on it,and this one fact
will make difference of 500 in the
price of some coins, fairly good speci-
mems of which can be sold for 30 cents.
1t is very fascinating business. how
ever, and when MAJ, once takes it up
and invests enough money in it to ac-
cumulate good collection, and it
takes money to do that. he is seldom
willing ever to part with it. even at an
advance over what it cost him. ~

into active competition in the plug
trade.
By their active measures and the i'm
meuse amount of capital behind them.
and with the advantage of the wide
spread sale of their cigarettes, they had
little difficulty in marketing their plug
tobacco. They put down the price of
plug to an almost ruinous point. sell
ing one famous brand to the retailers
for IA cents n pound while other tobac-
COS very little better were costing the
dealer around 30 cents. By these
means their sales were made to go up
by leaps and bounds, materially cutting
into the output of all the other plug
manufacturers.
The dissatisfaction of the latter oul-
minated in meeting of the nine larg-
est Manufacturers at st. Louis on Aug.
81 last. Previously several had made
definite arrangements to enter into the
cigarette business, and their resolve
was only strengthened by the deter
mination of the others to follow their
example. 1t is likely that by the first
of the year at least seven or eight large
cigarette plants will be in good run
ming order. The new cigarettes will
probably be very much the same from
whatever mandatory they are turned
out. 1t is said they will be made from
Turkish, perique and North Carolina
tobacoos.

A HEREDITARY POSTOFflCE.

TIL office of postmaster of Vienna,
the capital of the Austrian Empire,
was created by Empress Maria Theresa
over a hundred years ago and has since
remained hereditary and salable-a
queer institution in our time and day,
although no queerer than the herditary
succession of monarchs. The postmaster
of Vienna has to furnish all the vehicles
necessary for the service, and the drivers
thereof are in his personal employ.
At present he employs $50 drivers,
blacksmiths, ETC., and $50 horses are
under his whips.

DECOY JEWEL BOXES.

English women who possess jewelry
never place it in any box or safe. but
hide it away in the most curious
places, only known to themselves.
But most of these ladies have small
safes-often of very old and imperfect
type-in conspicuous position in
their dining rooms, and they rely upon
the fact that thieves would probably
ransack these and never think of look
ing for jewels rich and rare in an old
pin cushion or stuffy looking foot
stool, where certain great lady of
title, recently dead, used to hide dia-
monds to the value of 100000. The
husband of another lady who had
jewels worth a large fortune told me
that the lady at one time kept her
jewels in large bottle of blue glass
labeled "poison," which was kept in
an obscure cupboard. A beautiful
countess, who is still alive, used to
hide quantity of jewelry in the lin
ing of an old hat-box of her husbands.
One day in her absence her husband
was rumaging about and gave this
article and a number of other dilapi'
dated things to one of the servants to
get rid of at once. The box was sold
to an old-olothes man before the ooun-
tess knew anything of the transaction,
but in this case. fortunately. the box
and its contents were recovered. The
Jewel cases which rich people travel
about with are nowadays more often
than not mere blinds, the supposed
contents being very carefully disposed
elsewhere. Jewellers Review.
