Made So For Economizing People by .
Gotham Industry.
It's easy to be we'll dressed man
nowadays If one saves up his old
clothes until he accumulates few
suits and then follows the example Of
his rich friends here, he will soon find
out how they pose as bowling swells at
comparatively little outlay. 1t costs only
e25 a year to look like man who owns
valet, providing one has the costumes
to start on. In a skyscraping structure
q suit Of sumptuous offices Is occupied
ny the clerical staff Of a concern which
is engaged in keeping the clothes Of
some of our worthiest and most influen-
tial citizens in repair. A large factory
down town, employing small army Of
scourers. pressers and members, is kept
i'll constant operation, and the wagons
Of the company may be seen daily Gov
ering regular routes in the best parts Of
the city. So sensitive are the patrons Of
the concern, however, lest their econom-
ical proclivities become known to neigh
bors that nothing more than the ambig-
uous title of the firm is painted on the
vehicle.
A lady with pronounced French ao-
cent manages this part Of the business
From her it was learned that yearly
subscription fee of $25, payable in ad.
vance, entities any ordinary American
citizen to membership in this concern,
by means of which his clothes at least
can jostle up against those Of the Four
Hundred. On paying the fee the men,
bers are entitled to all the services re-
quired to keep their wardrobe in repair
and presentable condition. The chests
are allotted to him, upon which his
name and address are printed. One of
these remains at his home, while the
other is at the factory. Wagons call at
the houses IT patrons Of the company
twice week, if necessary and collect
the clohes which have been placed in
the chest. at the same time leaving q
chest full of clothes, carefully mended
and pressed ready for wear. One young
man who has been a patron of the novel
establishment for some time says that it
works like "a charm, and his apparel
bears out his statement. Of course the
tailors, the cid clothes gatherers and the
servants who have strutted in the cast
off garments of their masters don't like
the innovation, but it is necessity of
the times. Keeping up appearance is
great business here, and this new clothes
fixing scheme is a regular boon to lots
of men who travel on shape and style.

Thermometers,

At times of severe frost many per-
sons not skilled i'll the use of thermom-
eters report remarkably low tempera-
lures. These are often due to the tber-
mometric liquid having partly evaporat-
ed from the main column and condensed
at the end of the tube farthest from the
bulb, the thermometer then reading Just
as many degrees too low as there are
degrees Of spirit at the top of the tube.
Good thermometers are just as liable to
this error AS common ones, and there
fore every one using spirit minimum
thermometer must be on the alert. Gen
orally the owner can restore the ther-
mometer without sending it back to the
maker. Grasp the thermometer firmly,
resting finger Oh the tube so that there
be no vibration, and, holding the bulb
downward, give several strong, pendu-
lous swings. This will usually send the
spirits from the top and send the index
into the bulb. Stand the thermometer
bulb downward fer an hour. then re-
verse it and very gently shake the in
dex out of the bulb and let it slide to
the end of the column, when the ther-
mometer will be as coed as new. Now

The Irish Potato Not Irish.

"The ecul,arty of the Irish potato,
so called, is in the fact that it is not
lrish," observed one of the potato ex-
perts of the agricultural department..
''The potato originally grew wild in
the fields of Chile, Peru and Mexico.
Sir John Hawkins did not take it to
Ireland until 1865. Sir Francis Drake
took it to England 20 years afterward.
1t did better. however, in Ireland than
anywhere else and got its name, no
doubt, because Of its early and extensive
cultivation in Ireland. Botanically it
was originally known as the Batata vir-
giniana, but in after years it was prop
erly identified and classified as the So
lanum tuberorum. AS the winter stock
is now being laid in, it may be well for
the inexperienced to be ;$le to select
good potatoes.
"Cut the raw potato i'll two and rub
the halves together. If the moisture on
rubbing is soft and liquid enough to
drop, the potato will be soggy and set
when cooked. Rub the halves briskly
around on each other. A potato that
will be dry and mealy when cooked will
give out good, rich froth, while
poor one will show only watery froth
by the same action. The pieces will
stick together if the potato is good
one. OF course the whole thing is to test
the amount of starch in the potato, for
the more starch the better the potato.
If, however, a person intends to lay i'll
very large supply, the best plan, Of
course, is to cook them, and there will
be no chance of mistake. "-Washing-

BIRDS OF ILL NATURE.
The Cruelty of Swans as Displayed Toward
Other Fowls.


Among those birds which stay at
home, especially the most domesticated,
there is often an exhibition of unkind-
ness seemingly unacconntable, says
writer in The Cornhill Magazine. The
graceful swan, G. e., Is one of the most
ungracious III its ways. Not only Gin
the breeding season) does male bird
resent the intrusion of strange gentle
man, but it will spend the day in driv-
ing of from its domain any unlucky
geese, which might be plainly assumed
to have no designs upon its domestic ar.
rangements and have, indeed, no desire
beyond that for a comfortable wash and
swim. twill also pursue even the most
innocent of newborn ducklings while
they unwittingly rejoice i'll al early
taste of their common element.
When an only child has passed out of
the cygnet stage of life and grown to
full physical if not mental maturity,
father and mother swans have been
known to fall upon and deliberately
beat it to death with wing and beak
The gratified parents swan gracefully
about the mere i'll which they lived,
while the great white corpse Of their
son lay, battered and dead, upon the
shore. The following year, after another
had been born to them and i'll infancy
carried upon his mothers back. they be-
gan to treat him so roughly that, not be-
ing pinioned like them, he wisely flew
away and we saw him no more. Curl.
ously enough, geese which have experi-
enced rudeness from swans in the lusty
spring have been known to retaliate in
the calmer autumn, when the fierceness
of their enemy had become mitigated.
have seen IA gander leap upon the back
of once arrogant swan and pound
away at it i'll the full enjoyment Of
gratified revenge. - San Francisco
Chronicle
