DIFFERENCE IN WOMEN.
in Manners of Different
Generations.

It was very hot afternoon on the
Southeastern railway. In the carriage
were two ladies who were young and
happy, lady who was elderly and ap-
parently single and little girl. AT
Orpington there entered tall, fresh,
loose-limbed boy of 10 or so, carrying
surveying poles and large basket, who
took the seat opposite the two ladies
who were young. As the train painted
along and the carriage became more
and more sitting, the boy was noticed
to be growing restless and nervous.
Twice or thrice he made as il to speak,
and each time thought better of 1t;
and then, suddenly reaching out the
basket and displaying its contents to
the two friends, he gasped, indicating
one of them with timid eye: "Would
you mind taking some of these?
They've just been given me, but ]
couldn't eat them all, you know, and
y so very hot and
really, if you would be SO kind
= *?' The basket was loaded with
Strawberries and he was quickly as
sured that his request was not an i'm
pertinence. He then turned to the lit
tie girl, who no sooner observed his in
tention than she crossed over to the
basket side, and, seating herself with
in range of the fruit, saved him further
trouble. To the elderly lady, however,
he had to repeat his invitation. Frigid-
ly accepting it, she took two straw
berries from the basket with much GER
emony. At New Cross the boy gathered
together his property and jumped out.
'Wbat dear boy!" said one of the two
friends. The little girl looked wistful-
ly after him. 81 have never" said the
elderly lady, Tightening her lips and
turning to the other two, Il have never
been SO embarrassed in my life. Lon

pEMMIcAN AS FOOD.
Ration Cannot De Over
Estimated.

/
The value Of pemmican as a food ra-
ton is not by any means confined ok
cursions where means of transporta-
ton are limited. Its value has been
demonstrated many times on the from
tier, where fresh meat was abundant
and easily obtained.
Ny attention was first called to it in
1868, while encamped with some Red
river people north of Mouse river, in the
British northwest. These people were
in the habit of going out to the buffalo
range every spring from the Fort Garry
settlements and putting up tons of
pemmican for the winter trade and to
supply the northern trading posts. The
mode of making it was as follows: Buf-
falo meat was sliced with knife in
huge slabs of about one inch or less in
thickness and suspended over frames
for drying in the sun.
A small fire was built underneath to
keep off flies until thin glaze was
formed on the outside Of the dried
flesh, which effectually protected it
from attacks Of flies. When thoroughly
dried the meat would have sbrunl to
less than one-third of its former thick
ness. Then it was roasted slightly to
make it brittle, when it was pounded
with fails and reduced to fine particles.
The whole was poured into raw-hide
sacks and incorporated with melted
marrow fat.
When cooled the sacks were stored
away in dry place and would keep for
years. This was the crude process used
for the trade, there being several grades
of this pemmican.
The value of well-made pemmican lies
in the fact that it contains the maxi
mum of nutrition with the minimum of
weight and space, added to its keeping
qualities. 1t is always palatable,
whether eaten in the raw state or
cooked.
While in the interior of Alaska with
Capt. Glenn's exploring expedition, in
July, 1898, l had occasion to dry guam
tity of mountain-Sheep meat to keep
it from spelling. When it was perfectly
dry roasted it slightly on some Goals
at the campfire, and afterward pounded
it in canvas sack. In this state it was
delicious. 1t served many time for re-
freshment on the trail, even when fresh
meat was obtainable. Once a handful
of it mixed with boiled rice served as a
treat for 12 hungry men.
It's excellence as food ration for SOL
diers on the march cannot be disputed.
Soldiers in camp can take perishable
meat and by drying and pounding it in
the method described have most accept
able sustenance an small bulk, lasting
many days.
I have never known it to cause bowel
disorders or other complaints, such as
are sometimes induced by sudden
change to fresh meat diet.
AS an economical food ration regard
pemmican as of great value. An author
ity states that il was introduced into
the British navy victualing yards in or
der to supply the arctic expeditions
with an easily preserved food contain
ing the largest amount of nutriment In
the smallest space" For arctic regions
I would add sugar to pemmican, as
found by actual trial it was very agree
able. Sugar, in my estimation, is equal
to chocolate in sustaining power, and
the desire for 1t in Alaska is something
that impresses the traveller very quick
ly.-Forest and Stream.

CONSUMPTION.
From Tuberculosis There Are Nearly
45O Deaths a Day in the
United States.

The bacillus of tuberculosis finds.
indeed. the most favorable conditions
for its existence in the squalor of
crowded slums, in the foul atmosphere
of dusty workshops, in close courts
and alleys, and in damp, dark dwellings
where the sunlight never penetrates
and where there is 10 through ventila-
ton. But il may thrive also in places
where sanitary science has done its
best. Even in this present age CT sani-
tary grace consumption works fright
ful havoc among mankind, destroying
far more lives than typhoid fever
diphtheria, scarlatina, measles, small
pox. cholera and all other epidemic
scourges put together. Ii a report on
tuberculosis recently presented to the
Academic de Medicine by a committee
appointed to study the question the
number of deaths caused in France
every year by tuberculosis is given as
10000.
II is computed that, taking all forms
Of tuberculosis together, one-fourth
of each generation in France is at
tackled and one-sixth is killed by it.
According to a high authority, Prof
Won Leyden, Of Berlin, the mortality
from consumption alone in the wh ole
Cf Europe is not less that 100000 a
year. The annual mortality in the
United States from tuberculosis in its
various forms is 163,5O0. or nearly 45C
a day. These figures represent only

innate the amount of suffering for
which it is responsible besides? 1t is
needless to speak OF the expense which
it entails not only on individuals, but
on the community.-Fo Re

ANIMAL BENEVOLENCE.
An Instance Which Shows That Dumb
Beasts Can BE as Kind
as EIen.

A herd of wild Asian buffaloes will
charge any foe, even a tiger, to save
the life of one of their number who has
been wounded.
ELEPHANTS, balloons and other ami
mails will do the same thing in a wild
state.
On the other hand, monkeys have
been known to fall upon one of their
number who is i'll and drown him, posi-
bly, as an act of mercy. Similarly,
wolves destroy one of the pack which
becomes helpless.
If an otter is trapped his brother OF
ters will run around him all night
showing the utmost concern.
A writer in the London Specta OF
states that he has seen sparrows in
groups discussing and lamenting when
one of their number had fallen into a
trap. Next day when a robin was
caught the sparrows paid no attention.
He adds that he had seen big pig
try to help smaller one through a
hole in the fence paling by pulling at
its head.

whose cat brought him some edible
bird nearly every day in the year.

HARDTACK FOR FOUR.
full Recipients of the Sorry
SCstenance.

One rainy night in Cuba four rough
riders had gathered under a tree FOR
shelter. They had had nothing to cat
all day and were sympathizing with
one another over their ill-fortune, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
"It's tough luck" said one, 'but we II
just have to grin and bear it. 1 am
about starved all the same"
A trooper from one of the western
companies happened to be passing the
tree, and he heard the last remark.
Going up to the speaker he slapped him
on the back and. opening his blouse,
pulled cut some hardtaclSs.
'Sorry yer in sich tough luck, pard, -
he said. Il ran in a streak of luck to-
day and got ten hardtacks. Here, you

Thanks. old man." was the grateful
rejoinder. "I'll only take four. guess
that will dol"
AS the westerner walked off the other
rough rider turned around and gave
each of his companions hardtack
The next morning the western man
was surprised to receive a visit from
Col. Roosevelt. and still more surprised
when the colonel thanked him for the
hardtack he had given him the night

3S3,740 imports and $94,597 exports.
The increase shown during the

in the customs Of Manila, compared
with that in the same period Of 1897,
amounts to S67,940.4O.
During 1897 there was an increase in
the exports of hemp from the Philip
pines to the United States of 133, ,896
bales, while to Great Britain there was
a decrease Of 22,349 tales.
According to the report of the Brit
ish foreign Office, the total imports into

JUDGE BY HEIGHT.
That Is the Way Fare Of ChiIGren
Is Regulated Oh European
Railways.

Nearly everyone knows that the rule
on railway trains and other public con-
yeyances which provides for the carry
ing free of children under five years old,
and of charging half fares for those be-
tween the ages of five and twelve, often
results in statements from the parents
which are as trying to normal con-
science as the affidavits made by many
tourists regarding dutiable goods
among their belongings, says the New
York Sun.
Sometimes these answers result in
unpleasant controversies between con-
ductors and passengers, but usually
our national tact and good nature help
along the adjustment without undue
friction. In parts of Europe they have
a way of fixing this matter so that no
one has cause to quarrel about it.
Instead of going by a chid's age, as
10 what rate of fare it shall pay. they go
by size. The collector is provided with
a five-foot rule, and he rates the chill
dren by this. Any child under % inches
IN height travels free. while those who
measure between 24 inches and 81
inches pay half fare. All who meas
ure more than four feet three inches
pay full fare.

DIR. JOHNSON'S PALFREY.
When He Wrote About Eating 1t Ee
Did Not Mean That He Dined
on Herse.

DR.. Johnson in his journal mentions
the interesting fact that he had on a
certain day had 'paifrey for dinner
says Notes and Queries. Now, these
words have caused not a little trouble
to the critics, aud for this reason, that
they know not what palfrey really is.
1t has been suggested that palfrey is a
clerical error made by the doctor him
self for pastry. But the doctor wrote so
legibly, and there is so much difference
between the words palfrey and pastry
that this position is not at all tenable.
Palfrey is defined in Johnson's cele-
brated dictionary as "a small horse fit
for ladies'" and some have thought that
the doctor (whose feats as trencher-
man were notorious) may have broken
q record on the day in question and dis
posed of small horse. All these ard
other conjectures are wrong. and We
VII proceed to give the correct exp!a-
nation.
The word palfrey (sometimes pam
frey by-the Interchange of and m) is
still in u.s. among the rustics Of Sect
land and the north of Ireland. and
means young cabbages when they lirst
come to table in the spring. Such cab
bages have not begun to Close or be-
come solid in the center. They are gen
orally spoken of as ''early pamfrey" and
are considered luxury. DIR. johnson
probably picked up the word from his
old friend Boswell. or from some other
Scotch acquaintance.

CALIFORNIA; BARLEY CROP,
1t As Larger Than That or Any Other
state-Pacific Coast Hop and
Grape Growing.

While the Pacific coast wine Yield
is not up to expectations this year.
there has been a large crop Of barley
and very considerable product Of
hops in California. Oregon and Wash.
ington The production Of barley in
the United States has increased from
44,000,C00 bushels in 1883 and G6 Geo coo
in 1880 to G0,CG0,0C0 this year. The
business Of mailing kept pace with the
rapid development of brewing, and one
of the results Of the enlarged demand
has been the establishment of many
malt houses and the discontinuance Of
mailing by brewers. At the present
time comparatively few brewers malt
their own barley, it being more profit
able to buy of tt Z,.altster
The central and northern counties
of New York had formerly a monopoly
ST hops, but Washington and Oregon
are now in the field. By the census Of
1890 Washington ranked second among
the states of the country in the prod
uct Of hops, California third and Ore
son fourth. In the total amount of its
barley product California ranks not
only at the head of the states, but pro-
duces in year about one-fourth of the
barley product Of the whole country.
1t is estimated that the total hop crop
of Washington state this season will
be between $4,000 ant 80, coo bales. The
picking is finished, and much Of the
crop has already been sold on the basis
of 10 to 12 cents per pound.
According to the secretary of the
Winemakers' corporation of Califor-
MIA the vintage this year will be one
of the smallest in the recent history
of the state. The yield Of dry wines
will be in the neighborhood of S,OOQ-
0C0 gallons, as against 27,O00,0OO gal
Ions last year. Sweet wines will show
about one-half the production of a
year ago.-N. Y. Sun.

STAMPS OF 1900 KINDS.
Many OF Them Are Only Gotten Up
to Annoy Enthusiastic
Collectors.

The largest postage stamp ever is
sued measures four inches by two
/. inches, and was the old United States
tive-cent stamp for packages of news
papers.
The quartershilling stamp of Meek
lenburg Schwerin. issued in 1856, is the
smallest postage stamp ever issued, be-
ing less than one-fourth the size Of the
ordinary stamp, says Tit-Bits.
There are 1900 different kinds of
postage stamps issued in the various
countries Of the world. Some of these
are made only for collectors by coun-
tries wishing to make money easily.
The French colony of Obcck, for in
stance, issued no fewer than 200 varie
tics; this overdone Fhilatelic spot being
administered by 4 governor and eight
functionarics and the capital being a
village Of huts.
The credit of originating that method
of stamp issues belongs to the secre-
tary of an engraving company, who
bound himself for period of ten years
to supply yearly, free Of charge. post
age stamps to the different govern
ments Of South and Central America
on condition that each yearly serie.,
differs in design, and any surplus stock
at the end of the year belong to the
company. which also retains the dies
and plates for the production of re-
prints.
