Mr.. Clauss was remarkably hale

Mr.. Clauss came to America in
1881, and began his career in Bay.

business for himself. He was a
prominent merchant of Bayou Sara
until 1851 when he engaged in the
wholesale grocery business, on his
own account in New Orleans. This,
he continued with success until the
beginning Of the civil war. Later,
he was the skilled ook.kacpcr for
Meyer Weis &Co of that city, until
1888, when after having acquired
sufficient means to retire from
business, he came to St. Francis

EGGS BY QUART.

White or Mixed In This Way of Mar
keting ''Hen Fruit"
"Give me quart of yolks."
"What are whites worth todayg
''Send me up gallon of mixed"
Such expressions as these will be ia
miliar terms in grocery stores and
butcher shops in Kansas City before
long. Housewives will make them so,
for eggs will be sold by the pint. quart
and gallon instead of by the dozen. In
fact, the big confectionery establish
ments of the city buy them by the gal
Ion now. Kitchen economy suggested
the scheme, and local packers ,imme-
diately took it up.
How often it is that a cook will
break dozen or more eggs in order to
get the yclks to make cake. The
whites will be thrown away, or vice
versa. Why rot make a saving of the
whites or yolks, as the case may be?
was suggested. The packers put the
question to the confectioners, and the
latter saw the point. Now, when a
confectioner wants to make stuff with
the yolks he sends to a packing house
and buys yolks by the gallon. If he
wants to use the whites for some
thing, he sends for them. II he wants
to use both. he sends and gets a mixed
can. 1t is predicted that housewives
will soon adopt the same method.
With this new system of handling
''hen fruit there is absolutely no loss.
The eggshells are even used. They
are ground up and sold for chicken
feed.-Kansas City Times.

WINGS OF THE HoNEYBEE.
A Microscopic View of One Of Ma
ture's Wonderful Schemes.

ture's Wonderful Schemes.
At q meeting of the New York Mi
croscopical society the president of the
organization exhibited. besides other
things, the honeybee's wing, showing
the booklets by means Of which the
lower Of the two wings Of the bee is
Joined to the upper wing in flying, thus
making them practically single wing.
The upper of the two wings is about
half an inch in length. the lower little
shorter. The wings come together
where they are Joined to the body;
they are otherwise separate. When the
bee goes into its hive, it folds its wings
together, one leaf over the other, so
that they will take up less room. When
it goes abroad, it spreads its wings and
couples them together with the hooks.
When looked at under the microscope,
the upper edge of the lower wing is
seen to be REINFORCED as though 1t had
an extra plate or rib stretched along
there, and to this rib, spaced apart at
regular intervals, though they are all
contained within total space of little
more than quarter of an inch, there
are attached 10 or 20 tiny, bony hooks.
There is little thickening at the base
of each hook, where nature has
strengthened it, and one is inclined to
regard the hooks as inset separately
and to look for the rivets wherewith
they were secured to the plate or rib
from which they spring.
The lower edge of the upper wing, as
looked at under the microscope, is seen
to be curled up into fange or trough.
When the bee comes out of the hive, it
hooks the hooks on the upper edge of
the lower wing into that flange through
at the lower edge Of the upper wing
and SO makes the two wings practical
ly one.-New York Sun.

Japan's qreer stores.

japanese are very fond Of stroiling
through their bazaars. You enter at
one door and leave by another. Goods
for sale are displayed on each side Of
aisles that, wind through the length
Of the shop. Passing up and down
these aisles, they lead you to the sec
ond and often third story Of the build
ing and then back again through diff
ferent aisles, causing you to travel the
length of the establishment many
times. Finally you see the doorway a
few feet distant, but eyen then you
must travel this maze several times its
length to escape.
Usually shopping Is very restful in
Japan. You sit around on the door,
and in some shops they bring you cups
of tea to sip and a "hibachi'' from
which to light your pipe.-Baltimor

Trouble Concerning the Initiation
Fee-Swords and PIumes.
The knights of Pythias are engaged
in a fierce struggle over the initiation fee
to that organization which may terminate
in a split. The trouble has been brew
ing for some time. 1t arises from the
fact that the supreme lodge some years
ago fixed $40 as the minimum price of
initiation. The lodges of the east find
that it is impossible to get persons to
join the order at that rate when many
other organizations are receiving mem
bers for 81. 50 and So. Many of the
Pythian lodges of Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, New York and Delaware have
been receiving So to So from their newly
made members, while committee Of the
lodge pays the difference, so the books
Of the lodge show that the $40 has been

A MECHANICAL MARVEL.
What Sixty Miles an Hour Means TO
the Locomotive.

What Sixty Miles an Hour Means TO
the Locomotive.
1t all sounds simple in the recital.
The wonder Of the thing comes into
view only when one reflects on the
speed and nicely with which cumbrors
parts are made to do their duty. The
piston and connecting bar of modern
locomotive weigh some COO pounds.
When the speed is GO miles an hour,
these parts travel back and forth fivo
times a second. Ten times second,
at the end of every stroke, the piston
head is at rest. 1t must pass from this
condition to velocity of 1,S00 feet per
minute in one-twentieth of q second.
The drive wheels measure more than
a rod at every revolution, but when
going GO miles an hour they must turn
more than 800 times q minute.
Sixty miles an hour is the merest
commonplace to the mind of the up
to date railroad man, but it means
other things besides those described
that are wonderful to the outsider. 1t
means a steam pressure blow Of 20
tons on each piston head every tenth
of second. 1t means that up in the
cab the fireman is throwing into the
furnace two-thirds Of a ton of coal
every hour. No. 900 burns coal faster
than ten men can mine it. 1t means
two quarts of oil every hour to keep
her journal boxes creased and every
thing running smoothly. 1t means that
the engine with its half dozen cars and
load of human freight is moving
through space with twice the power of
q shot from 100 ton gun. 1t means
that the engineer has worked her up
to the point where she can use every
once of steam, that he is coaxing her
as a jockey urges his mount In fierce
race. and yet it means that he is ready
at seconds notice to move the re-
versing lever and apply the airbrakes
that will stop the mighty avalanche
within the distance that 1t covers as
it stands on the tracks.-Earl W.
Mayo in Ainslee's.

ODD FELLOWS.

Knnsas Grand Lodge Gets Rich Gift.
Lodge LinkIets.
A decision has been rendered in the
case Of the grand lodge of Kansas and
the De Boissiere land grant. This grant
was made in May, 1892. to the grand
lodge of Odd Fellows of Kansas for the
support of an orphans home and indus.
trial school. 1t contained 3,156 acres of
land and about $4,000 worth of personal
property, aggregating in value about
$150,000 In 1894 suit was brought by
parties who claimed title under the right
purchased from a sister of Mr.. De Bois-
siere, who made a claim as sole heir. The
case was continued until September,
1899, when the decision was rendered in
favor of the trustees of the grand lodge.
This decision places the property in the
possession of the trustees of the grand
lodge.
The Rebekah Orphanage association Of
Buffalo, which is composed Of members
from the different lodges, contemplates
the building of an annex to the Odd Fell
lows home at Lockport, n. Y. The an
mex when completed will be for the or
phans of the members of the order.
In all large cities and towns the rule
holds good that less number of lodges
created by merging two or more weak
bodies to form one strong, active body
will contribute to the betterment of the
fraternity in all respects.
Fifty years ago a few of the pioneer
California miners organized branch Of
the independent Order of Odd Fellows,
and recently the great fraternity cele-
brated its golden jubilee, with 30,444
members in the state and a record of
S6,1S9, ,2SS.28 paid out in California ben
efits.
How many of the members have you a
right to expect to know and recognize
you as patriarch through having met
you in the meetings of the lodge?
A grand lodge has the right to forbid
by law the issuing of electioneering cir
culars by subordinate lodges or individual
members of the order within its jurisdic
tion advocating or condemning certain
brothers us candidates for grand officers.

per capita tax at 90 cents.
