THE BEEF TRUST

The presence of George B. Loving of Fort Worth, Texas, iu New York, started a rumUr that he was endesv- bring to organize cattle trust. T have options on a large number of cattle and a great deal of land" he said. If these ranches are merged into one management 1t will merely be large cattle concern run on good business principles for the money that is in 1t. The ranches iu question are located in Texas, the west Panhandle and New Mexico, but altogether they would form but a small fraction of the cattle in dustry of Texas alone, much less the industry of the country. We have no desire to grab the business or con trol prices. 1 cannot say anything now as to the success of the deal, but am hopeful that will be able to carry it through"

Washington Post: That makes me think, by the way, of costly mistake a theatrical man l know made last winter. The mistake is stored in one of the Washington thea.ers this very minute, and there is 3 trunkful of it. Some of it is blue and some of it is yellow, and some of it is shell pink. but all of it is silk with silver buckles meant to be worn where Bobby Shafto, in the old song, wore his, and there are several hundred pairs of it. They the pairs-were intended to be tre- sented to the women in the audience on the oeasion of the one hundred and fftieth performance of a certain opera the theatrical man manages, and when He appointed time was come, and the glittering things were piled on tables in the theater lobby, only three women in the house paused to take their choice. As souventrs-well, the man ager simply couldn't give the things away, and they are gathering tarnish in the trunk here now. for he left them in disgust at this point in his tour. The matinee girl is willing to accept clocks and pictures and spoons ard goodness only knows what eles as t. Yenirs, but there are thugs she draws the liue at.

Reading in Bed.

Reading in bed used to be objected to in the old days on the score of danger, and one of the first injunctions of a hostess to her guest was in refer ence to that prevalent but disquieting practice. But in these days. when electric light has removed the risk of fire, the question is one solely of it's benefit or harm to the prospective sleeper. The Medical Press and Cir cular is of the opinion that a short course of some standard author may act as a composing seGatiye, but works which contain extremes of wit, melo- drama, comedy, tragedy or philosophy shodld be avoided. Like good sup per, the reading should be neither too heavy nor too stimulating. On the other hand, most physicians are of the opinion that bed should be kept as much as possible for sleep. A habit of reading before putting out the light and closing ones eyes is apt to grow and become tyranny, and. like drugs the more you indulge in it the longer has the reading to be to have the de- sired effect. It must be admitted, however, that the habit. 10 all but those fortunate beings who are asleep the moment their head touches the pillow, is very seductive, and that 3 good many peoples most serious read ing is done al that time.-London Tele- graph.

 One tidy little refrigerator ahont six feet widf and twice that depth is the outtermdn's stall in this market under the sea, writes Helen c. Candee, in an exchangd. Little tubs of butter are arranged on shelves to the amount of o,000 po1nds, and. in company with these arel20,000 eggs. Twenty-Five hun dred quJrts of milk and cream are stored IT a separate room. all having peen steFilized. This market has room especially for salt meats, and here areI hams, bacon and tongues to the amogtnt of 4,000 pounds. There are some a1ticles of food without which the epiAre would be unhappy. and Nhlg &lust be alive when cooked. ChI Ts aong these are oysters. of which Y SFe carried to meet the wants of P 2apassengers. Clans are only pro- Yoed to the number Of ,500. Lobsters 7re not abundantly supplied; TOO Tpounds is all the storeroom shelters his market in the bottom of the ship contains, besides the things mentioned, fruits, green vegetables and an en- ormous stock of groceries. The latter , is only limited by space, for groceries are not perishable goods and will keep from one voyage until another until used. Tea and coffee are used in large amounts-about thirty-three pounds day of tea and fifty pounds of coffee h lipp in proportion to the number of passen- gers booked, and anything Of this kind which is left over when the ship reaches port is eaten by the crew.
 Away down in the bottom Of the ship the chief steward has a market of his own, one which he has stocked and 1 from which he draws. thus serving in the double capacity of merchant and customer. Here is an enormous re- l trigerator, and is presided over by l steward who is responsible for every i pound of meat within it. Before the j ship slips from the dock this room is stocked, for full ship, with 10000 pounds of beef, 2,00O pounds of veal and 5000 pounds of mutton. From | hooks along the walls and ceiling of another refrigerator hang punches of birds, very much as dried corn and peppers hang from the rafters of old farmhouses. As many chickens as can be tied together are hung until 4,000 pounds are slowed away Ducks are not as popular as chickens, therefore FOO pounds only are provided-about 100 pounds allowance for each day. Turkeys are liked, and 1000 pounds must be provided for the demands of the cook. Pigeons, squabs and other small birds, these are reekoned in pieces, and it is calculated that the family which floats across the ocean will deyour 1.600 birds. 3
