Boys In the East sometimes think
money scarce enough article. but
they really know very little about 1t

cousins from the far West could tell
them. There one often goes for days
without sight OF even 70 much as n

all sorts OF queer devices to make
change" An Eastern man who had
occasion to spend many months In
Montana tells of having seen n man
buy box OF matches with n water

rendcrs In turnips, and got carrot or

In . note recently presented to the

BILE feature of sterilixati in q very
simple manner. The principle con-
sists merely In subjectin9 the liquid

perature In closed vessel under high
pressure and out Of contact with air.
The apparatus is equally simple, the
sterillxer being a steel tube, silvered
within. and surrounded by q steam Or
water Jacket formed of a second cylin-
der of slightly larger dimensions.
Suitable connections and stop cocks
are provided. ns well as thermometers
and pressure gauges. and the appa-
ratus Is mounted so that II can be re-
volved by turning crank.
The principle OF the method Is ex-
plalned In the following manner: The
cylinder being entirely filled with the
liquid, there Is no room left for ex-
pansion. Az the temperature rises.

which. for the temperatures of pas

stituents are unable to separate from

practically the same condition as be-

II II believed that this apparatus
will be Of especial value in the pro-
duction Of wines, since it enables the

sired stage, and, when used In con-
nection with ARCHAEOLOGICAL investi-

Mr.. Hixon. a tall. pale. close-shaven
young clergyman. sat in his Gothic
study. with a vase of rosebuds before
his sheets Of sermon paper. and q
stack Of new pens all placed ready for
use. Maj. Clark. short and stout. with
fringe Of white whiskers around his
rubicund countenance. was smoking a
cigar on the doorstep. Mr.. Hixon
disliked the odor Of Havanas, and Maj.
Clark despised the rosebuds. But they
were both mildly tolerant of the
others weakness. Mai. Clark had an
idea that 1t looked respectable to be
on social terms with your clergyman,
and Mr.. Hixon. who had only recent
ly accepted a call to Snagtown. de-
pended good deal on Mai. Clark's
thorough acquaintance with the peo-
pie and the place.
And, to speak truth. the beautiful.
rose-garlanded parsonage was not al
together without its thorns. Mr. Hixon
knew nothing about housekeeping, and
the old woman. who had always man
aged the domestic helm for his prede-
cessor. had just retired from business
on legacy. And the topic which
Maj. Clark and he were discussing at
that especial moment was how to re-
place Betsey Ann snedecor.
So. Mr.. Hixon took the majors ad-
vice and inserted an advertisement in
the Snagtown Weekly Trumpet. The
major gave 1t to the editor with the
tr "a,
prompt insertion.
And the Snagtown Weekly Trumpet
had not decorated the breakfast table
OF the citizens for half an hour on
the Wednesday morning of its issue
when Mr.. Hixon, studying out the
"ffthly" OF his next weeks sermon,
was startled by a tap at the door. and
