One of Depcw'e Stories,

.
MI. Depew's reputation as a good story
teller is so well known that 1t is unneces-
sary to commen upon it. Probably one of
the best stories with which he delights his
audiences Is. according to Harper's Round
Table, the one involving the question of
supply and demand, and the regulation of
prices solely by these two factors. In Dis
pute of this Mr.. Depew says that one day
he was walking along a street and passed
a German butcher shop. Gu of curiosity
he entered the place and inquired the price
OF sausages.
Twenty cents a pound" replied the
butcher.
But said Mr.. Depew, ut seems to me
/ saw your sign this morning and 1t read
Fresh sausages, 25c a pound. Why did you
reduce your price?"
'oh. dot was all right, I don't got none
now, und l can't Sell any. Dot makes me
a reputation for selling shcap. inc | don't
lose holdings"
According to this. as Mr.. Depew says,
There was no demand, as i d,dn't want
any,, and there was no supply as tbs
butcher hadn't any. and yet the price of
sausages went down"

There are a number Of willows indi-
genous to North America that are fairly
well adapted to the manufacture of fine
willow ware, hut the finest arc those
imported to this country from Europe,
and carefully cultivated in congenial
soil. The western willow, known as
salix gracilis. produces twigs that make
pretty fair baskets, but they are hardly
adapted to the finest furniture manu-
f%acturc. Many people have attempted
to cultivate willows in this country, and
while some have succeeded more have
failed because of their selection of the
wrong varieties. The European white
willow, red osier and similaY species,
can he raised with fair success IN this
country. and they arc more truly
adapted for tine willow manufacture
than any of the native species.
Another source of loss in tho culture
of osier willows ir this county is in
planting the willows near running wa
ter. OF i'll stagnant pools aud ponds.
Many seem to think that the willow is
an aquatic plant, while in reality nearly
oil of the willows, especially .hc osicr
willows, do better on elevated grounds.
The routs and twigs become moro ilaxi-
BILE and valuable when the Willows are
raised on comparatively dry ground.
Stagnant water prevents a healthy
growth of the roots, and eventually
shortcns the life of the trees or shrubs.
Willow planting is best done in the
spring of the year just as soon rs the
frost is out of the ground so that the
soil can be properly worked. Twigs
taken last December from last years
stocks should be used for planting. The
shoots are about fourteen inches loug.
and these arc pushed in the well-worked
soil unit! the top bud is just above the
surface. They are planted in rows so
that II can walk conveniently be-
tween them. AS the bud shoots up the
earth should be drawn up around the
twig. The lows should be about
twenty inches apart and the rods in the
rows about four inches. Most of the
osier willows are shrubs instead OF
trees, and they are never allowed to as
sumo great size.
During the first season the willows
do not produce much of n crop, but the
shoots have to be cut late in tho fail
after the leaves have dropped. The
scSoLu eut . eloPs Will iouuG 9ollo
valuable rods for basket making and
arrangements are made to sell these
rods as soon as gathered. Tho cutting
is done the same as the first crop and in
the fall of the year after the leaves have
dropped. The rods want to be cut hor-
izontally close TO the stock.
After the rods are cut they are peeled.
In order to peel them without doing
any injury it is necessary TO renew the
run of sap. To do this the rods are
tied in buncncs and soaked in water un.
til the eye buds begin to sprout, and
with a little steel pincers the bark can
be stripped off at once. Tho peeled
rods are then dried in the air and sun
carefully and then tied in bundles for
the market. If handled in this way the
rods will preserve their elasticity for an
indefinite period, and by soaking them
in the water before using them the
manufacturers can twist them to suit
their needs.

WOMEN WHO o
Tho Princess OF walcs Says n Clever Thing
Abont Them.

A characteristic aEecdote was lately
told Of the princess OF Wales, says tho
YOUTHS Companion. The princess, it is
well known, while she maintains the
even, gentle tenor of her way. never
debating or interfering with others, al
ways casts her powerful influence on
the side of the domestic, quiet woman,
showing no sympathy in dress or ac-
lions with her advanced" sister.
One evening not long ago some Of
the ladies of the court we're discussing
before the princess the fact that some Of
the fashionable Englishwomen now
openly smoke cigarettes after dinner.
Arguments for and against the habit
were advanced, but the princess re-
manned silent. At last one of the ladies,
addressing her by the title which Eng
iishwGmen of rank only use to the queen
and princess. said: "What do you
think OF it? If there be any pleasure or
comfort in tobacco, is it fair that the
men should m%onopolize it? Do you be-
lieve it to be as corrupting to the body
and mind as Lady Blank says it isp"
The princess smiled. 81 cannot de-
eide on the medical or moral bearings
of the question:" she said, gently. "but
l have noticed that men who use to-
bacco to excess always speak of them
selves rs slaves to the habit and de-
clare that it is impossible to break from
it. l do not see why women who are
trying to cmancipate themselves from
customs which they declare are tyran-
MES, should voluntarily put on a yoke
which men find intolerablc."
This was n new and shrewd view Of
the case, to which the advocates of Gig
arettes could find no answer.
NJ. Ve,peau, who wrote admirable
letters for a French periodical, during

ton, upon the habits aud manners Of
The Americans, said:
Il find that tobacco is used by only
three classes of American women: Fast

initiate the manner of a faster set in
London; cd women in the almslMuses
whose pipes take the place of II stronger
