How She Succeeds I'm Getting the
Most for Her Money When
She Gees 20 Market.

It is not strange that dress has q
wonderful influence on the average
masculine heart. A pretty woman liv-
ing in the west always depends upon
getting the most for her money at the
corner grocery, according as she is
gowEed, says the Rochester Post Ex-
press. In the morning, perhaps, she
slides into the place sacred TO the break
fast bacon. and the green stuff and 9TH
er edihles, rugged out in q shirt waist
and plain skirt. The grocer advances to
wait upcn her and is calm but courte-
Gus. There is no CLEAN of JOY in his
eye, no tendency to give an ounce as
a complimentary TO the roast or steak.
lie is firm in his stand over the price
Of his wares and makes no concessions.
Perhaps she finds she needs some
thing later on in the day and goes over
on her way down street shopping. She
wears hat trimmed with roses. an or
candle gown with roses all over II, and
a bewitching parasol which forms n
background for her face. lie melts,

into a basket he throws in several cX-
ira ones-he ignores her as she goes
around nibbling from one cracker box
or barrel and then TO the fruit stands
he wakes playful. and finally hands her
package of tulu.
But IL is at night she sweeps ont
the store. She comes around TO leave
an order for the following morning,
and this time she Is melted and poured
into white gown trimmed with lace
inst riing. The grocer comes TO the
door and leans against it in beautiful
way as she tells what she wishes. lie
picks up u stick Of candy instead of q
pencil to write the items down, while
a glorious. sweet smile floods his face
and trickles over his chin. AT that mo-
ment money is no object-what is he

that lovely woman? He gazes wistfully
after her as she trips of, and the next
day--he stares at the figure at which
he sold those goods Inst night and calls
himself a business donkey with far

SMART WIVES OF FARMERS.
They Have Learned n Thing or Two
I'm Dress from City summer
Residents.

One Of the sights that show plainly
the place Of the American v oman is
familiar to persons who have passed
their vacations in the country. 1T
is more eloquent to me-" said a man
who had passed several weeks in the
hills of Connecticut, ethan all the re-
ports Of debating societies, women's
clubs and temperance unions that
could be bound together in year.
Driving along the country roads will
come a young farmer. The horse, the
wagon and the man will show plainly
that he is a small farmer. Probably
be wears a pair of dust-covered over
alls that make him look like the poor
est of his hired men. But the woman
who sits beside him in her smart shirt
waist and trim sailor hat would not be
out of place on the beach at Narragan-
sett. lie would stand a mighty poor
show there If he appeared in the
clothes in which he is familiar to his
neighbors.
but the young woman has learned
from the summer boarders how TO
dress herself just as they do, and she is
usually able to stand well the com
parison with them. If there happens
to be a lady in the wagon-and there
usually is one--it will resemble the
mother and not the father in dress. IL
will be as much done up in laces and
ribbons as the city babies that are try
ing with their nurses TO get its com
plexion and rudy beauty.
at Is only on Sunday that the father
Is likely to show that he has come at
all under The influence of the city Wis
itors IN the matter of dress. He may
show IL then in the way his scarf Is
tied. But the manifestation is never
more apparent than that, and seems
under these circumstances TO be a sug-
gestion Of his wife. But so far as she
and the baby are concerned, she has
learned her lesson from the influence
Of the summer residents. and can live
up to it."-N. Y. Sun.

PARAsoL ON A BAYoNEr.
An Absurd Invention which Was nm
Outcome OF the War
with spain.

"a grotesque invention, which, how
ever, seems to me a good deal less alb
surd than it appears on its fact, was
called in the application Of a 'bayonet
parasol.' As It's name would Indicate,
il is nothing more nor less than para
sol attached to sword bayonet. When
not in use il folds under the gun bar
rel and does not interfere In any way
with the sights. To be sure, such
continuance would be promptly
spnrned as unsoldierly, yet dare say
our boys would have been glad enough
for a few sunshades in South Cuba.
"An application which came In
shortly before i was transferred from
the. patent Office TO the war depart
inent was for n revolver with a case
ia the handle containing a toothbrush
and a manicure set. Another Inventor
who had an eye 10 the soldiers comfort
sent in tent which could be convert
cd into an easy chair between times.
81 am inclined to think" said Mr..
Foster, in response to a question. that
the most valuable inventions along the
line Of engines OF war will come. after
hostilities arc over, from men In our
regular army and navy. Both branches
of the service contain many men of
great mechanical genius, which has
been manifested on more than one oc-
custom in the past. To Illustrate,
might cite the Zallnsd dynamite gun,
invented by Capt. Halinsld; the fiske
rauge-hnder, invented by Lieut.. Fiske,
and the invaluable Buzzacot oven, in
vented by private of the line. These
men are ominently practical, and they
have The great advantage Of knowing,
from actual experience, exactly what
Us needed. ! certainly look for some
remarkable inventions from this
source, growing out Of observation

EGG TESTERS BECOME BLIND
They Sit in Dark Room All Day Long
with No Light hut n TAI
low Candle.

Few people have any idea OF the care
taken to see that eggs reach the re
tail market in good condition. Many
a citizen perhaps thinks his breakfast
egg comes straight from the farm
er to the grocer or to the hotel keep
er. AS matter of fact, every whole
sale dealer in eggs has dark room"
in which a man sits all day passing
eggs between his eyes and the flame
of a tallow candle. This dark room is
usually in the cellar.
The cellar is itself dark, but the
corner iE which the "candleT2 sits is
curtained of with heavy canvas that
shuts out every ray ofsunlight. Around
the "candler" are great piles Of egg
crates. He works so fast. taking up
three eggs at time, that almost con
tinuous line Of eggs Is passing before
his eyes in an unbroken chain. II
an egg is found to contain any dark
substance. indicating that it is not
fresh, it is laid aside and another one
placed in the crate. which is nearly
filled with ones that have already been
candled. An expert "candler" will
handle in day 25 crates Of eggs. each
containing 80 dozen. For his labor he
receives $3.50 per day for actual days
employed. The "candler's" work is
such that ere long his eyesight gives
way and many of them have become
blind

A PRESIDENT COMING.
Chief Magistrate of Costa Rica VIII
Visit Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE state
department has been informed by Min
lister Calvo of Costa Rica that President
Iglesias Will visit Washington within
the next fortnight. Ordinarily the Wis
It OF the president Of sister republic
would be a ceremonious occasion. but
in this case President Iglesias comes
incognito and on an entirely private
mission, so that outside of the ex-
change Of unofficial courtesies the gov
eminent will not give him a formal
welcome.
He viii arrive in New York next
Tuesday and after a brief stay there
will come on to Washington. stopping
at the Costa Rican legation. Later he
will make a trip to Chicago, st. Louis
and some other western cities and then
may go to Europe.
During his stay here he Will meet
President Mckinley and Secretary Hay.
and there will be opportunity for an
exchange of views on the interests
Costa Rica claims in the interoceanic
! canal whose construction she greatly
desires.

The milk available In the Philip
pines rarely comes from the Jersey
COW, but is a product Of the "carabao"
or water buffalo. and tastes some
what oily. Oatmeal and cream are
things unknown, and the former IS
now said to be too heating for a hot
climate diet. Chocolate seems to come
under the same category, and even
fruit with the smooth,
urpentine taste-have TO be eschewed
by him who suffers from priclsly heat.
Bread, too, is not eaten so much as
toast. and the foreigner almost al
ways insists on getting his "pan pos
ada" in order that any lurking mi
erobes which the bread may have alb
sorbed during the process Of manufac-
tory in the little Chinese bakery, may
be DESTROYED.

HAVANA, Nov. 17.--As predicted in
cable dispatches would be the case the
American and Spanish commissions
came to full agreement at their joint
session yesterday regarding the date of
evacuation, which will be Jan. /.
The commissions took precedent
from the treaty of peace entered into so
years ago between Mexico and the
United States, when an agreement was
made as to the date for the American
occupation to cease. Then, as now it
was known that all the troops could not
be embarked by the date agreed upon.
theoretically the Spanish occupation
will cease by Jan. l, though It is be-
lieved that $4,000 Spanish troops will
still remain in Cuba. These men will
continue to occupy their barracks until
they leave for the peninsula.
1t was further agreed yesterday that
all arms save those in position shall be
returned to Spain. There yet remains
to be settled the right Of Spain to sell
the bronze cannon and to have pay for
the public buildings within the island.
After the session the two commits
greatest good will each for the other.
There arrived on the MascOtte Major
General Greene First division, Seventh
army corps; General Humphrey, quar-
termaster's department; Captain T. W
Cole. Colonel Hecker, Captain T. b.
Mott, Colonel Young of the Second vol
unteer engineers, with IA officers of the
engineers department and two medical
officers. 1t is expected that active prep
arations for the reception of American
troops will now be pushed forward with
the greatest expedition. General Greene
expects the first troops to reach Hava-
ma about Nov. %. Colonel Heclker who
has heretofore counseled delay, now
thinks the time has arrived for vigOr-
Gus action. The weather being settled,
he would bring the troops here at once.
Stories are current here in Spanish
circles that the Cubans at Marianne, in
Plnar del Rio, and at other camps are
burying arms and ammunition for the
purpose Of providing for possible differ
ences with the Americans. 1t is stated
that these arms are being stored in Sc
cret hiding places until definite dec
laration of policy is made by the Amer
lean government. The Cubans strongly
deny the truth Of these rumors, and OF
course they cannot be confirmed but
as the reports are numerous and arc
widely circulated they are given for
what they are worth.
The Snyder Steamship company will
run weekly line of steamers to No
bile and Havana, with connection for
northern ports, from Jan. 1.

in the Danakil country, on the west
shore Of Babel Mandeb, the strait con-
Meeting the Red sea with the Indian
ocean, and only re-embarked them after

The feeling of irritation is increased by
the fact that Russia has refused to rec
