Those Sixth district newspapers,
outside of St. Louis county, that
are talking about a man from the
west end of the district as candi-
date against Towne for congress
on the Republican ticket, surely
have not the interest of the Re.
publican party at heart in what
they say. Mr.. Hendryx, of Sank
Center, is one of the best men on
earth, and w. E. Culkin, of
Wright county, IS another; but
the nomination of either Of them
would be in the interest of Mr..
Towne's candidacy, as the nomina-
tion of any man other than Du.

How Wines Should Be Served.

In serving wines with a course din
ner, sherry should be served with soup.
With the fish chablis or sauterne is
nearly always served, and with entrees
have claret. Champagne, hook or mo-
selle comes with the roast. Port wine
is usually served with the'cheese course,
and burgundy with the dessert. Serve
red wines at the same temperature as
the room. White wines should be slight
ly chilled, but never put ice into wine.
Do not fill a glass to the top. Serve the
least celebrated wines at the commence
ment of a dinner, reserving for the last
the choicest vintages.

"No, we're not,' was the reply "We

THE SPORTING WORLD.

When a millionaire goes in for rae
ing his expenses are just about double
those Of pleasure season. Mr.. W. K.
Vanderbilt, for instance, could not
dream Of racing season that cost him
less than $175, 900. and even then he
would find himself running short Of
money To begin with, there is the
prize money Of the crew, the special
setting Of the sails, the testing and over
hauling, unless, indeed, the boat were
built for special race, when 100000
might be considered as something to be-
gin with. After the yacht is built and
equipped and tested and approved, each
race she runs costs $40, 900 if it be any
race at all.
If the yacht has been much damaged,
and 10 to she will be, the cost in
creases. But when man becomes ex
perienced with boats he can save great
deal by providing in advance for all
emergencies.
1t takes 80 men to make proper crew
for Il yacht like Mr.. Vanderbilt's Val
liant, although less would man her.
There are three cooks and three soul
lions. The stewards vary according to
the number of guests. The captain Of all
ordinarily luxurious yacht commands
$1,000 a year W. X. Vanderbilt has
paid Sc, 900. A little boat, holding but
IL persons, costs it's owner less for
wages. of course, but a good deal for
repairs.
No wonder, then, that yachting, in
the present extravagant sense of the
term, eats into the revenues of the rich
est. Horse racing is nothing to it, and
gambling cannot be considered in COM
parison for moment A yacht could
break the bank at Monte Carlo and then
not meet expenses 1t is no answer to
this to say that yacht can be bought
in New York for $14. 900 and equipped
with sails for few hundred. Such
craft are not considered yachts by those
who want to sail in the society Of the
cup defender. -Exchange.

HOW to Keen Fruit.

The rotting of fruit is mainly brought
about by two kinds of parasitic fungi,
which occur particularly numerous in
stagnant air. Spots or bruises on the
outer skin Of fruit are particularly liable
to be covered with these germs, and the
covering Of fruit which is to be kept
for some time with cotton or tissue pa
per is an excellent means of protection,
since both keep off the germs of the
fungi.

How to Estimate Railroad Speed.

The speed Of a railway train in miles
per hour can, it is claimed, be found by
counting the number Of rails over which
car wheel passes in 2O.9 seconds, be-
cause 2O.3 seconds bears the same ratio
to an hour that 80 feet, the length Of a
rail. bears to mile The fish plates or
the thumps may be counted. Thus, sup
posing that 80 thumps are made by a
wheel in 1913 seconds, the train is then
running at the rate of 80 miles an hour.

BINDING TWINE.

When it was decided to establish
binding Irvine factory at the
penitentiary at Saltwater, it Is
btful if even it's most ardent
advocates expected to see the
undertaking converted into a gem
eral factory, employing outside
labor and taking it's place among
the commercial institutions of the
country. This is what is now be-
ing done. The warden of the
penitentiary has lately employed
about fifty e1.employcs Of the
Northwestern Cordage company,
of St. Paul, and with perhaps
forty novices from Saltwater has
put on night force. This doubles
the product ofthe factory. 1t will
produce this season about $500, 900
pounds of twi"e, some 1900, 900
have already been shipped.
For the first time IN its history
the prison plant will probably
make money this year. And this,
notwithstanding the fact that it is
selling about cent under the
market price. Last summer the
managers bought largely Of raw
material at the lowest price. Since
then there has been strong adj
vance, and though some pur-
chascs have been necessary at the
advanced figures, the the old stock
was brought so cheap that the
profit will even up.
Another reason for the prospec-
tive profit is that a new plan of
selling has been put into effect
this year. In former years the
prison Irvine has been sold to
everybody and any body indiscrim-
inately. As result, the prison
books show a great many accounts
which will never be paid. This
year the rule was made that no
Irvine should be sold to farmers
except for cash and only to dealers
of known credit or on approved
security. In other words, or
binary business rules have been
adopted. As result very small
part of this years product is going
direct to the farmers. Most Of it
goes to the dealers who retail it
to the farmers just as they do the
product Of the eastern tw1ne fac
tories.
Prison prices are now as follows:
Sisal and standard, 5 cents; man
lila, 600 feet to the pound) 6 cents;
pure MANILA, $3.50 feet to the
pound) 7 cents. Market prices for
Irvine already On hand or being
manufactured on orkers are three
fourths of cent above these
figures, and for stock not manu-
featured or on hand, one.fourth Of
a cent more. minneapolis Journal.

The Naming Of Yachts.

The very sound of the Arrow and the
Alarm, the Iona, the Fiona, the Cam
bria and the Galatea serves to recall the
swell of snowy canvas and the tearing
race through channel seas, while of
modern boats the Vanessa, the Volante
and the Valkyrie equal in aptness of
sound and sense the best named Of tho
older yachts. AS an example Of good
and bad yacht nomenclature may be
mentioned two pleasure boats turned
out about the same time by a once we'll
known yard (the cradle of some famous
fliers) in Great Britain. One was
called the Arab and the other the Earth
quake. What better name could be de-
viscd for cruising yacht than the Arab,
a wanderer Oh the ocean desert? While
how empowering a name for any kind
Of yacht was the Earthquake, however
it might fit torpedo boat, which, I be-
ieve, is merely numbered.
The poorest name which was ever de-
vised for yacht is perhaps that Of tt
latest challenger for the Americas CT
the Distant Shore. How can a yacl
be shore? It is as feeble as to call a
horse Cavendish Square, which was the
name of one running a few years ago
who might as fifty have been called
Westminster Abbey or Aldgate Pump.
The American yachts which have sue
cessivcly retained the cup have all been
fairly named, if hardly so prettily as
the challengers. The Puritan, the May
flower, the Vigilant, the Volunteer and
the Defender will pass muster, though
the last is only apt in this particular
connection, and the third would suit
better a cruising corvct or u topedo
catcher.
