world is distinction which the John NJ.

son street, Chicago, enjoys. An idea of
the magnitude of the establishment may
be gained from the fact that the building
contains seven and onc-half acres of floor
space and that during its third of a CEN
fury of business it has furnished nearly
three-quarters of million homes, or more
than the entire population OF some States.
One of the business principles of the firm

refunded The firm issues a large, beau
tifully illustf'ged catalogue of household
goods which are retailed at Wholesale

Cost of Keeping a Hen.

Some one has decided that hen car
be kept for less than so cents year.
It is a poor specimen OF hen that
will not lay dozen eggs a year. At
the low price of ten cents dozen, this
would leave a net profit Of 50 cents.
At this rate it will pay every farmer
to keep avlock of hens and give them
proper care. There is no danger o'
overproduction. As long as the I10ited
States annually imports millions 81
dozens of eggs, the market will not be
glutted.-Rural World.

CAPITAL TRACTION ROan-
Gossip in Financial Circles Respect-
ing It's Future

ing It's Future.
Now that the transaction involving tba
transfer of the control of the METROPOLITAN
and Columbia street railroads is about
completed, attention in financial circles
seems to be turned toward the CAPITAL
Traction railroad, the only street car line
IN the District not now in the hands of the
same interests. There is good deal of
gossip in regard to the future of the Capital
Traction line, though there is a decided
absence not only of official information.
but of any very definite information.
1t is claimed that Mr.. Stevens and his
associates ara willing to buy and that those
who are in control of the road are wilIing
to sell, but at that point it is said the
agreement between the parties ceases and
quite wide divergence of opinion is said
to exist in regard to the price
1t is understood those controlling the
Capital Traction Company are of the opin-
ion that $105 per share is a fair price for
the stock of the company On the other
hand, however, it is stated the alleged pro-
spective purchasers think such a price is
preposterous and cannot even be consid-
cred.
1t is not claimed by well-informed men
that actual terms have been EXCHANGED but
indirectly, it is said, both parties know
where the other stands In the meantime
the stock of the Capital Traction Company
keeps pretty firm at SOL, to which point it
advanced several days ago.

cats. That is literally their official desig-

are expected TO be on duty all the time and
are charged with keeping down the rats
and mice that infest post offices and play
havoc with mail pouches and letters.
How cats first came to be recognized as

For weeks he labored with his investiga

an old desk, and there IN sung corner they
found 4 nest of young rats sleeping con-
tentedly in a downy bed of macerated
greenbacks. This was the solution of tht
mystery. Then 1t was that Inspector Beav

In the New York post office there is an

are very active, and tie "depredations di-

kept up just the same, and each day man
goes to the butchers and gets the cats ra-
tions. The tabbies stand In grand review

St. Paul post Office is interesting in connec-
ton with the cat service:
us 1t possible in making your estimate
and allowances for next year to secure $40
cat fund? Five dollars, as at present, is
not enough as the following figures show:
The cat ought to have one pint of milk
day-365 pints. The price in winter is six
cents per quart and five cents In summer.
This would make the exact cost s104 When
kitten harvest Is on more milk ought to
be given. so above estimate is not exor-
bitant. Kittens ought to be kept until well
able to set up housekeeping on their own
account, as an incentive for the mother to
keep up her rat killing. Our cat the past
two months has killed not less than 125
rats. when two highest runs being nine and
seven, which you will admit were both

kittens could not eat all these, but 1t shows
what a good willing cat can do when she
