PREVENTS RAIN.
Austrian Grape Grower Dispersed
Clouds by Heavy Explosions.

Possibly it was from noticing the un-
successful attempts made by the would
be rainmakei.s in the United States to
bring down showers when wanted that
all ingenious Austrian grape grower
was induced to exactly reverse the
American practice.
An account of his experiment is given
by United States Consul Stephan at An
naberg in a report to the state depart
ment. The Austrian owns extensive
VINEYARDS situated on the southern
slopes of the mountains, in locality
often visited by destructive hailstorms
At first he tried galvanized wire, but
this was too expensive and he decided
| TO install battery and test the plan of
causing explosions to drive off the hail
storms. He erected six stations on
| prominent mountain SUBMITS, COM
| manding a territory about two miles in
extent. Each station sheltered ten
nortars and corps of volunteers
handled them. The practical test is
thus described:
"Threatening black clouds made
their appearance on the SUBMITS of
Bacher mountains. At a given signal all
the mortars were fired off and the con-
tinuous detonations in few minutes
caused a sudden reaction in the move
ments of the clouds. The cloud wal
opened up funnel-ike; the mouth of the
funnel began to rise in the form of con,
secutive rings, expanding gradually un-
til all the clouds scattered and entirely
disappeared. No hail nor sudden down
pour of rain fell. The same experience
was gone through six times last sum
mer and has without single exception
proven successful preventive" CHI

HAM AND EGGS.
CHARMING MUSIC.

a man with an eye for the odd went
in, took seat and was waited upon by a
young woman.
"Iou have music here?" he asked.
"From eight a. m. until II, and from
four p. m. to SIX" she said.
why not all day?"
"From about 1880 4. N. to one p. m. Is
the rush. We have to keep the custom
ers moving. If we lad music then the
customers at the tables would linger
and we wouldn't do as much business"
Your sign indicates that music is
furnished with ham and eggs only. If
should order bean soup would get any
music with it?'
The young woman became confused,
but the customer assured her that he
was not trying to be funny.
"Does it make any difference how the
eggs are ordered?" he asked, "as to the
music that is furnished? | know that
when YOU speak of ham and eggs you
think of the eggs in that state which is
described as turned over or sunny side
up But in my own case l should not
want them that way. | want my eggs

"Do you want ham with your hard

customers query.
THAT is what wish to know. Your

ham and eggs and music go together. Ii
there is anything in the meat line

ham l suppose do not have the music.
Of course, could order the ham and not
eat it, but that would not be fair. You
certainly do not wish me to pay you for
anything l do not want"
The music plays just the same, no
matter what you eat,' said the young
woman, having got second hold on her
spunk. "You don't have to have ham if
you don't want it,"
but the sign says lam and eggs and
charming music"
"Well, just told yo1 that you didn't
have to have ham if you don't want it,"
Then the sign does not mean what it
says?"
"You can't get no music. nohow, this
time O. day." she said. mo difference

for you'll have to come in later"

HELPS IN LAUNDRY WORK.
Six Hints Given by an Experienced
Laundress.

Sort your clothes in five grades. First,
towels, table and bed linen; second,
family linen; third, light colored
clothes; fourth, dark colored clothes;
fifth, flannels and stockings.
Have plenty of the best soap, With
borax, starch and blueing at hand. Add
borax to the water in the proportion OF
one tablespoonful to pailful of water.
Colored cotton clothing of delicate
shades should have the color set before
washing. Add of salt heaping table
spoonful to each pailful of cold water,
and do not apply soap directly to the
article.
In cold weather dry indoors to pre-
vent freezing. A little kerosene oil put
in the hot starch will prevent it from
sticking.
A teaspoonful of borax to n quart of
cold starch will make it stiff. Table
cloths should have as few creases in
them as possible. Crease them twice
lengthwise; have them very damp and
iron them perfectly dry; fold over once
| or twice, according to their lengths,
and place them carefully in long
| drawer.
Fold napkins square with the initial
on the outside. They should always
be ironed perfectly dry; then put away
nicely in the drawer.-Chicago Tribune.

Spinach, mustard greens, dandelion
leaves, young beet tops, and even STALKS
of the milk weed are all good, cooked in
their own juices, with as little water
as possible. Dandelion leaves are espe-
cially good for their alkaline salts, this
plant entering largely into all the sar-
saparilla preparations to which resort
is had in the spring time. The custom
of boiling greens" with salted pork.
or bacon, should be discouraged, since
it robs them Of their natural salts and
acids.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Grant & Ward failure, which
crushed the old general and made him
long for the grave, had but one COM
pensating feature that made life cndur-
able to him." said Col. Randolph Arm
strong. of Chicago. recently. Il got
the story from Col. Fred Grant, and
therefore consider it entirely true. |
don't think it has ever been in print
You know that every dollar that Gen.
Grant had was swept away by the fail
ure, and he was left almost penniess.
According to his son, he had only about
$50 in his pocket when he learned that
be was a bankrupt.
"Milionaires, brokers. railroad mag
pates and money-makers of every kind
rushed to him with offers of assist
ance. Some of them wanted him to go
in business with them and pictured
glorious future for him. He received
them all courteously, but declined every
offer His experience with the ras-
calIy Ward opened his eyes for the first
time to the dangers of lending his
powerful name for the promotion of
all propositions with grave suspicion.
| Telegrams and letters protfering aid
poured in on him from every part Of
the country for days after the col
lapse.
ITO all these he replied in the same
spirit. He thanked the authors cour-
teouslv for their kind offers, but firm
ly declined to accept assistance of any
sort. He had made up his mind to coin
his autobiography into cash for the safe
ty of his family. He knew he had not
| long to live and was ready to die as soon
as his book was finished.
about week after the failure he
received letter from farmer up the
Hudson river, written in poor hand,
but containing words and sentiments
that touched the old herO's heart deep
". The farmer set forth in his crude
way the gratitude he felt for Grant and
how the writer, though only private
soldier, had suffered the bardships and
dangers of war to help the general
save the union for the benefit Of gen
erations vet unborn. Then the farm
er told Grant that since the war he
had been able to buy a farm and lay
aside $1,000. He did not know anyone
to whom he would rather loan half his
savings than to the man he had never
seen, but for whom he had named his
only son. If Grant needed $500 the let
ter went on to say, he would please sig
Nifty it by making out his promissory
note for that amount and forwarding
it to the writer. with the assurance that
that the money would be forwarded tt
him by the return mail.
~ know you are honest, and vii
pay some time declared the farmer
and would rather you would get thu
money from me than from somebody
who cares for you only as he can us'
YOU The upshot of the business wa
that Gen. Grant accepted the farmer
. offer without a moments hesitation
while declining the aid of millionaire
who insisted upon giving him unlimited
amounts of money without a scratcl
of pen to show that he owed cent.

DUTY ON DUTCH SUGARS.

An Export Bounty Paid by the
Netherlands Causes Counter
vailing Measure
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The Sec
rotary of the Treasury to-day
decided that the Netherlands Gov
eminent pays bounty on all raw
and refined sugars exported from
that country, and hence under he
new traiff act all sugars from the
Netherlands entering the United
States are subject to discrimina-
ting duty equal to the export bounty
paid. The exact rate of this coun-
tervailng duty has not yet been
definitely asceritained, but it is said
that it will approximate Accents per
100 pounds on raw sugrr and a
slight advance on those figures on
refined.
1t is known that the Secretary has
also come to the conclusion that
the Belgian Government pays an
export bounty on sugar, and a
decree to this effect may be ex-
pected in a short time. The addi-
tional duties will apply from Sept
ember % last.
The amount OF raw sugar import
ed from the Netherlands during the
last year was over 88,000,000 pounds,
OF which 25,500,000 were not above
No. 16, Dutch standard, and 62,700,-
600 above that number The sugar
imports from Belgium during the
last year aggregated over $4,000,
600 pounds, of which nearly III, 00V,
600 were below No. 16.
