THE SODA FOUNTAIN.

1t Has Stimulated the Industry of Ex-
tract Making to Vast Proportions.
From the Chicago Record.
Since soda water became the regular dis
sipation of the modern girl the extract
making industry has assumed enormous
proportions. Where ounces of vanilla and
lemon were used by housewives and chefs
a dozen years ago. gallons are now con-
sumed in the corner drug store. To ac-
commodate this great growth in business
through the country. and they are yearly
adding to their equipment in order to sup
ply the ever-incI easing demand.
Vanilla comes almost entirely from Mex
leo in the form of long, brown. shiny
beans. which are tied up in half-pound
bundles and kept In Theoretically sealed
receptacles, so that the rich odor may not
be dissipated in the air. The bean grows
on i peculiar vine which Is said to derive
quite as much nourishment from the air
1t does from the soil. 1t is planted in
cuttings by the Mexicans. and as 1t grows
up 1t Is trained en- lattices or palm trees.
In the third year 1t begins to bear, and for
thirty summers the crops continue good.
In q single month the vanilla bean will
grow to its full size-being from six to
twelve inches in length-but it requires
full six months longer for 1t to ripen.
After the beans are picked-and their
value depends largely upon having them
neither over ripe nor under ripe-the pecu-
liar rich aroma Is developed by a compli-
first stored under cover until they begin to
shrivel. and then they are sweated by
heating and inclosing them in alright
boxes over night. In the course of two or
three days the beans have obtained rich
brown color and present q moist appear
ance. After being exposed for several
months in the sun to dry they are packed
in little bundles and shipped to the United
states, which Is the greatest eXtract-mak-
ing country in the world. Thousands of
Mexicans make their entire living by rails
ing and curing vanilla beans. The cost
ranges from Sc to $12 a pound, according to
the length and quality of the beans. the
prices being now pretty high owing to the
large demand and the insufficient supply.
For this reason vanilla extract is frequent
which cost only 81 per pound. They impart
a pungent odor and somewhat sharp and
bitter taste to the extract.
Extracts from the fruit of the straw
berry the pineapple. the raspberry. the
banana, the pear and the apricot cannot
be made, although many experimenters
have worked on the problem. These fruits
contain so much water that 1t Is impossi-
BILE to get them condensed enough to Sc
cure the true essence Artificial extracts
with the f1avors of these fruits may, how
ever be made. The process Is entirely
chemical and the fia,yors produced are real
ly stronger than the fruits themselves.
Many of these extraets are used in cooking
and in soda water fountains,fbut they are
all more or less injurious to the health.
The proprietors If many of the best soda
fountains refuse to use them, preferring to
keep a supply Of the crushed fruits always
on hand. Peach extract Is made from
peach pits

A PAYING INDUSTRY.
Renting Out Bull Dogs to Protect
Property In Summer.

Renting Out Bull Dogs to Protect
Property in Summer.
Bull Dog Douglas is a character in the
suburbs of Northwest Washington. But
it's not of B. D. D. so much as of his oc-
cupation one wants to speak. This latter
is peculiar and altogether a suggestion of
Bull Dog Douglas. Be 1t known that Bull
Dog Douglas is the proprietor of a multi
tude of bull dogs, all of whom he dearly
loves. Just as a miser might love and
hoard money, just so does Douglas go on
through life amassing and boarding bull
dogs. He can't, to his notion, have too
many Of these bellicose chattels. At last
1t would appear as If he had found use
for them. The idea had suggestion to him
because of the expense of maintaining his
canine standing army. He must find some
thing for them to do. The other day gen.
tleman met Bull Dog Douglas towing
Misunderstanding dog at the end of a rope.
Douglas delightedly, pausing and looking
fondly on his vicious pet.
What do you mean by that?" queried
the gentleman.
PLANTATION. Many of the residents Of Wash
ington leave town for the summer. AS a
protection to their houses during their alb
sence Bull Dog Douglas rents them a saw
age dog warranted to tear the hind leg
off a burglar tramp at the drop of the
hat. Rent, per dog, s. a month. Buff Dog
Douglas stakes out the canine sentry in
the back yard with rope long enough to
allow him to patrol the whole rear of the
house. Then when the burglar appears
the dog mingles with him and the burglar
soon afterward hurries away. The inven-
tor Of this unique patrol for back yards
claims great things for his system. During
the summer season he puts out some
two score of dogs to hire after this fashion.
Bull Dog Douglas makes the rounds once
a day and bestows water and rations on
the dogs. They do the rest. It's a novel
industry and during the touring months
Bull Dog Douglas declares it to be pay
ing one

=. His Story OutdOes Munchausen.

From the Japan Mail.
While storming the first line Of forts at
Port Arthur soldier belonging to the
twenty-fourth regiment raised his rifle to
fire at an unusually conspicuous Chinaman.
Just as he was about to fire. n bullet
from the enemy's side came whizzing on.
and, marvellous to relate. entered the barrel
of his own gun smoothly ana neatly as
if the muzzles had been placed mouth to
mouth.
OF course, there was an explosion, and
the soldiers piece was shattered to the
stock, but without his receiving any in
iuries whatever. fractional variation to
the right or left would have caused the
hostile bullet to enter his head Ir face, SO
that his escape was nothing Snort of mir
aculous.
He preserved the stock of the now use
less weapon, and afterward exhibited it to
his colonel, who permitted him to keep it
probably the first instance of the kind on
record since Baron Munchausen's day.

Strength of n Jumping Mouse.

W. T. Hornaday in ST. Nicholas.
In proportion to its size I believe the
jumping mouse is the most active and
powerful of all vertebrate animals. This
tiny creatures-no larger than mans
thumbs from two and one-half to three
inches in length, with tail about twice
as long as the head and body. 1t is there
fore no larger than house mouse, but it
has light foreauarters, strong headquarters,
very long hind legs-and 1t can jump from
eight to ten feet! If a mouse weighing
two ounces (average) can jump ten feet,
how far should a acknowledgement boy
of equal agility be amble to jump? Figure
1t out for yourself, and when you have
obtained the correct answer you will prop
eriy appreciate the hind legs Of this Won
derful little mite.

No Longer Veal.
From Rams Horn.

An English clergyman was preaching in
a country church in Scotland. He had as
his subject 1.-The Prodigal Son. And the
pre- digal son went away from his poor old
father and remained in far country for
years and years. But after years and years
he came back to his poor father, and his
poor old father said unto his servants,
bring forth the fatted calf, which has been
kept for my son these years and years."
An old farmer in the audience could con-
tain himself no longer. Yer a le'er, it
wud haze bin q co.," he exclaimed.
