Mans Most Vulgar Habit.

"If men were compelled to wear skirts
 for period think they would insist
 more than they now do that their fel- low-men should stop the nasty habit of splitting in public," writes Edward W. Box in the May Ladies' Home Journal, 'There is no practice of man which is more distressing to women than this disgusting habit, Women constantly complain oft, specially in our larger cities, where sometimes the sidewalks are scarcely fit for them to walk upon. They revolt at the practice, and they are right In so doing. Yet year in and year out the habit not only continues, but increases, and the protection of cleanliness to which every woman walk ing upon our streets has perfect right is denied her. In New York City the Board of Health has taken the matter up on the grounds of public health, and the Police Department is lending it's cooperation in the enforcement of an ordinance directed against the evil. No action taken in New York for years IS so highly to be commended, and the ordinance should quickly extend to other and be put into force. It IS an undertaking which public opinion will sustain Tn whatever part of the country it is attemted. Every community should be urged to try the experiment. The time is ripe when every decent man should take some steps to see to it that the. nasty and most vulgar of all Amer ican habits should be entirely stopped New York City has sta rted the reform Let the Boards of Health of a few of

 ton, and the reform, which appeals to every clean-minded man and 8oman, viii soon spread It IS work 10 every way calling for the atten ton and action of Boards of Health and all bodies and citizens interested in the health of com. munities. The splitting habit is an ab- solute menace to the public health. Smaller communities need not wait for the larger cities. The decent men of the smallest community can come together, awaken interest in the mat ter and see that prohibitive ordinances IS passed. And if the men are slow in seeing their duty iC is to be devoutly hoped that the women will take the question in hand and see to it that thIs disgusting habit receives that necess- arr public attention which 1t has lack ed in the past"

Two Types of Cowboys.
IN W York Sun l

In the far West the cowboy rides bis horse right up the steps of the hotel and into the barroom. In the far East the cowboy of the boulevard rides his wheel across the gutter and up over the curbstone aud across the sidewalk and up a step right into the bicycle store. It isn't so difficult asIt looks, when one has got the knack of it. The rider sits back and lifts his front wheel to the new level, and the rest is comparatively simple. but it inetrests the passers-by always to see bicyclist ride right into the store before he dismounts.

 The stocker problem for the coming season bids fair to become more bother some than it has for saVaraI vears Tax- as ana ArizonS cattle owners seem- to have the idea hatthey can keep, fatten and market at a profit the same class Of cattle winch they heretofore sold as stOckers for northern ranges. Possibly they may be able to do this. At any rate, they are putting on an additional figure. and the northern purchaser can invest or not, just as he pleases. These cattle will be handled at profit in any event. This appears to be the condition of things staring the northern buyer in the face this year. In case of contin- uatlOn of this policy on the part of the owners Of southern cattle of this class, there is but one thing left for the north ern buyer to do and that is to raise his own stockers. The Sioux City Journal has always contended that this policy would of necessity have to be adopted, and this year the prediction is admitted to be correct by many of the most ex- perienced cattle men. It would mean the outlay of considerable amount for ranch improvements for breeding pnr- poses, but the additional profit through thls method would, we believe, more than make itup. It would mean also better quality of eefand consequently a better price. We look for northern cattlemen to stock their own ranges in a few years.

The statistics of the Chino beet sugar factory, of California, shows that there was 7,0O0 acres of beets grown for that factory last year. This produced total of 64,OO0 tons of beets and gave an av- craze of 2,286 pounds of crude sugar per acre, or a total of about 5000 tons for the season. From this it is esti- mated that the net profit of the factory was about $240.0 The average re- turn per acre to growers of beets was S33. .75.
