In adjusting the fro insurance loss
caused by burning OF its salesrooms
and stock of wheels on hand OF one OF
the largest and most popular bicycle
manufacturing companies in the
United States, Che fact developed that
the cost of the one hundred dollar ma
chimes was but nineteen dollars ut tho
factory. The public is askel to pay
one hundred dollars for wheel which
liz manufactured at cost of but nine
teen dollars. profit to the na7utac-
turer of over 400 per cent. The pur-
chaser is told that it costs lot OF
money to sell the wheels, which might
he and still leave several hundred per
cent. profit for the poor manufacturer.
The day is not far distant when BIZ
cycles will be sold in hardware mil
other stores, like lawn mowers, at q
price nearer twenty-five dollars than
one hundred. There may bo other
goods manufactured which cost but
one-ffth of the price they are sold
for, but the public certainly is not
aware OF the fact.

its presence, grows tiresome and Gre
ates resentment. If one builds a
house and its general lines are strong,
he should insist, bc:c-e everytl ing
else, on freedom from petty details
of ornamentation. There should be no
tawdry cornices, fimsy brackets and
spindle work. In design these may
seem attractive, and may be deemed
necessary to cover bare spaces Of stone
or wood; when they are in place,
however, they prove o torment to the
eye. In the matter of interior finish
the same rule holds good. There can
not be but general regret at the pass
ing of the honest handiwork in wood.
The workman was en- artisan, il not
an artist, and he rarely sinned against
good taste, everything being il keep

One must be chary. Now in the use of

ovens. fortunately not in the one in
which the bread which I eat is baked.
But perhaps I have not yet caught the
dog which sleeps in that particular
oven.
The stumpy little chilnneys which
ere seen all over the houses are of
adobe, too, but they are often topped
with broken pottery vessel. At the
fireplace below the cooking is done. A
little iron stand, trying-pan and o
few black pots, with knife or two,
ure oil tue cooking utensils. But they
are enough for such simple cooking /;
some of the poor families OF Indians
have only tortillas and coffee three
times day. Mix -four with water,
put in little sait, cook the mixture
over the fire and you have the tortll-
lbs. The coffee, OF course, has neither
milk nor sugar.

The ordinary bed is tho floor, or

two beds at this pueblo and one cot.
In winter time the fire gives the light

still rarer instances very poor lamp,

give the best background for pictures,
md artificial fllments virtually kill
ones furniture, no matter how hand
some it may be. The passing OF the
style of ornamental plaster work is
matter for congratulation. A simple
centre piece for the chandelier in g
large room is permissible, il it is un-
obtrusive, but even this is not neces"
sary. There IS no longer any need for
plaster cornices. These gather dust
and dirt and consequently become un-
healthy US we'll as ugly. The modern
method of paper hanging covers the
break between ceiling and side walls,
and furnishes IN artistic substitute for
the old time cornices.
There is less need for the warn

moving in the direction OF rich and

A Huge Bovine.

A monster steer, which is owned by
Mr.. Charles Payne, dealer in wild
animals and curios, at Wichita, Kan,
is attracting the attention of the Curl
GUS. Mr.. Payne came into possession
of the animal, now three yeara old,
about six months ago. Its growth
since that time has been phenomenal
and the question is asked Mr.. Payne
many times day: 'tWhen is it ever
going to stop growinge" The steer is
now six feet and four inches high and
eleven feet long, or seventeen feet
long, counting from the tip of its tail.
1t weighed only 1900 pounds three
months ago. Its present weight Is
23OO pounds, and if 1t continues to
grow as it has in the past six months,
it will some day be as big as full
grown elephant. Cattlemen pro-
nounce it one of the greatest freaks
known ir. the stock line. They say
it will continue to grow until it is
seven or eight years old, ard that
when it is fully grown it will have at
tained weight of from four to Six
thousand pounds. The giant IS per-
fectly symmetrical in its development,
and is colored and marked like Jer-
sey. Mr.. Payne has not offered it for
eaIe, and says he intends to wait and
sec how big it gets.
Only one other such freak has been
known, and that was the famous
"Kansas Queen" very large heifer
that was shown around the country as
side show attraction and later was
purchased by Adam Forepaugh for
$4,000. 1t had previously netted it's
owner profit of sl3, OOO.-St. Louis

The Atlanta Constitution remarks {:
We have said so much OF the business
needs Of the South, and we expect to
keep everlastingly at it, to develop
into actual cash profit, the unequslled
resources Of our section until every
bale Of our cotton, every ton of our
ore, every foot of our timber, every
pound of our wool and generally every
item of. our raw material will leave
Dixie in manufactured form and mer.
chandizable condition, ready for the
ultimate consumer, that we extract
with pleasure, and we trust with profit
to our people, the following from the
Columbia Is. o. State: $50 long as
$3.50. 900 initial capital can build and
start a twenty-thousahd spindle mill,
employ $50 hands, make an increase
in population of TOO or more, pay out

in dividends, and thus convert dead
town into q live one, while piling up a
big surplus to defray the remainder of
the cost OF the mill and ultimately en-
large it, SO long will every town in
South Carolina strive for its cotton
mill, and strive wisely. We think We
know our cotton mill text. 1t is I:

OF the above is all right, but the ap.
plication to cotton mills alone is too
limited. ''Multiply and diversity, if
it means anything, bears the broad in
