clear profit must have been $500, 600.
Equelly shrewd was his cattle syndi-
cate. The cattle concession was given
to O concern in which he is said to
have been the chief partner. They
bought cattle, both live and refriger-
ated, at six cents per pound. The con-
sumption in that city is over hun
dred thousand pounds day, the profit
over $4,000 and in 600 days the total
profit would be about 100000. He
is also said to have had a large in
terest in the tobacco monopoly, the
-four trade, the potato business, the
wholesale cabbage industry, the bot
tied beer commerce and the milk
routes of Havana. 1t is no wonder,
therefore, THAI the people of Manila

people Of Havana that he transmitted

The Nose Lasts LONGEST.

Bone and cartilage enter so largely
into the structure of the nose and de-
termine It's characteristics, that it I'M
dergoes little perceptible change, as q
rule, with the lapse OF years The
brow becomes wrinkled, and crows
feet gather round the eyes, which
themselves gradually grow dim as
time rolls on: cheeks lose the bloom
which cosmetics cannot replace and
lips their fullness and color.
The chin, dimpled in youth, develops
irregularities or globularities, as the
case may be, and the eyebrows be-
come heavy with the crop of many
years growth. The nose shows no
mark comparable with these familiar
facial indications Of the approach of
old age, and practically enjoys Inn
munity from the ravages which time
makes ON the other features Of the
face. Next to the nose, probably the
ears, as rule, show the fewest and
least obvious signs of old age-Pftts-

Breakfast Bacon.

The pan was sizzling hot, the bacon
Of wafer thinness and properly mark
ed with a streak of fat and streak OF
lean, and was not allowed to touch the
pan until the members OF the family
were heard on their way to breakfast
Notwithstanding all this, ON sultry
morning when nothing else in the way
Of meat could be tolerated but a few
slices of crisp bacon, here it was
straight and pallid instead of brown
and curly. This was the first hot
weather breakfast essayed by the new
cook, and she evidently was not in pos
session of the family secret which in
sured properly cooked bacon at all sea-
sons. The next morning it was even
warmer, but this time the bacon was
perfect, for before 1t was consigned
to the hot pan each slice had been
spread on fiat tin pan and this put
directly on the Ice for about fifteen
minutes; thus it was firm when raw,
which means to an experienced eye
crispness when cooked. The bare ice
must not come in contact with the ba-
con, as the least suspicion of damp
ness would produce the very result the
GOODNESS prevents.

THE WRESTLING BOY.

IL there sound in the world so sweet.
On dark and dreary morn,
When the gloom without meets the
COON within, till we wish we'd not
been born.
As the sound of little barefoot boy
gayly whistling in the rain,
As he drives the COWS to pastures
green, down the path In the muddy
lane?
The joy of a boy is a funny thing. NOT
dampened by autumn rain;
His clothes and his hands and his
sturdy feet are not spoiled by CRIME
Or stain;
The world to him is wonderful place
that he means some day to explore;
II there's time to play and plenty to
eat who cares if the heavens pour!
On, that CHEEKY trill Of 8 heart as
fresh as the drops that clear the air,
Brings q smile to our lips. and clears
the soul of the gloom that bIooded
there;
And we bless the boy as be spats
along through rivers OF rain and
mud,
For the hope and cheer tn that whis-
tied note would rainbow the sky in
food.

Those crops always pay best which
have most water in them. as nature
furnishes the water without charge
The farmer who sells potatoes Or roots
of any kind of fruits sells what Is
four-tifths water, while most Of the
solid part of the fruit or root is taken
by the leaves from the air. In growing
such crops cultivation SO as to retain
moisture in the soil is more important
than manures. Whatever deepens the
soil enables it to hold more moisture
and to grow better those crops which
depend ON abundant supplies of water
for success. It may seem paradoxical,
but 1t Is true that soil made deep by
thorough undertaking will be the
moistest in time of drought.

To Line Butter Tubs.

G. r. Amy, in the New York Prod
uce Review, thus tells how he lines
butter tubs with parchment papers
After you have your parchment lining
soaked and ready, take roller four
teen inches long, two inches in diam
eter at the large end, one and one-half
inches at the other, spread the paper
out OF a smooth board, being careful
to have it smooth. Then roll it on the
roller, keeping the small end to the
left. Place roller In the tub and I'M
roll to the left, following up with q
paper-hangers brush. You will be sur
prised how quickly and how smooth a
tub can be lined.

Potatoes Among the Chinese.

1t has always been supposed that as
the potato is a native of the Rocky
Mountain regions, both Of North and
South America, it was unknown in
the old world until after America
was discovered. This is probably true
enough. SO far as our present stock Of
potatoes was concerned. But the po-
tato has been known thousands Of
years in China. 1t is said to grow wild
in the regions of western China near
the Tartary boundary. 1t is very large
ly grown there, and divides with rice
the popular preference as an article
of food. 1t is possible that the potato
might have been introduced from west
ern America in the long era when per-
haps another continent lay between
Asia and America, or when the Pacific
was occasionally traversed by adven-
turous vessels which sailed around the
coast in the far north, and then came
southwark to milder climates along our
Alaskan coast.

Cultivation of Corn.

A system of cultivation that will give
the highest yield under ordinary condi-
toms seems to be about as follows: Cul-
tivate deep during the early part of the
season to remove weeds, conserve
moisture and allow the plant an early
vigorous development. Then gradually
decrease the depth as the corn grows,
until near the end Of the season, when
the cultivation should be shallow, and
as far from the hill as Is consistent
with removing weeds, i'll order to avoid
root pruning and to leave the soil in
the best mechanical condNion.-Prof.

the plants may be thinned with hoe.
Cultivate as soon as the growth Of the
plants will permit. If this is not done
weeds and grass may get the start, es-
pecially that persistent pest known as
crab grass A light skinning of the
surface close to the plants after every
rain, using hand wheel hoe, will pre-
vent weeds and grass. After the turnip
plants have made considerable growth
they shade the soil and can hold their
own against weeds, but the best crops
are secured when the turnips are kept
clean. The ground should be MANFRED

Poultry Notes.
Dirty water may cause gapes.
Get rid of weakling rooster quick
1t is safest to change ROSTERS every
year.
A little tobacco in the nest drives off
vermin.
Bread and milk make good dish for
the hen.
Never let the young rooster run with
the hens.
It is a big mistake to put too many
eggs under hen.
Watch the crows. They will some
times carry off chickens.
If meal is mixed In boiling water the
food is cooked little and Is better.
Look out for sudden showers, which
kill good many chicks in the spring.
One writer says that his standby to
make hens lay in winter Is cabbage
leaves.
Now get some powdered charcoal for
use In the feed in case the bowels are
loose.
Kerosene is a very valuable thing
about the hen house. Don't be afraid
to use 1t.
Keeping poultry In the orchard ali
through the spring and summer viii
prove profitable.
The hens Of most breeds pass their
prime at two or three years old. The

Eggs that are fed to chicks should be
boiled twenty minutes, and they will
then be in o very digestible condition.

half of the children of the late William

least $500, ,0000 600 in interest bearing
bonds These bonds would have to
be payable in money worth 100 cents
on the dollar. In view of the present
position of the Democratic and Popu
list parties on the free silver question
and the recent resolution passed by
the Senate, declaring that the bonds
are payable in gold or silver coin at
the option of the government, the
administration would be unable to
borrow money except upon bonds
specifically providing for repayment
in gold. If war were actually here
and money were needed, as it would
be, the free silver people would find
themselves in a hole. If they voted
against bonds with gold provision,
they would lay themselves open to
the charge of lack of patriotism
and if they voted for them they
would feel that they were fastening
the gold standard upon the country
for years to come. Consequently,
they are beginning to go slow on the
question OF war, and it is suspected
that Mr.. Bryan's advice that the
government should go slow is based
somewhat upon the considerations
set forth above.

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quickly
Painlessly, without Danger.

People go along for years suffering with
piles. They try this and that and the other
thing from carrying buckeye to getting

cessve fatigue, little constipation or little
diarhoea and the piles come back.
They don't seem to amount to much, but
they Danish sleep and appetite. No position
is comfortable. There is intense local pair

perineum.
