To Whom 1t Concerns.

AS the advertisement in the last
weeks TRIBUNE for my lost pocket
book did not have any effect I will
give the party who found it fair
chance to return same before I pro-
ceed any further in the matter. This
.is a fair warning to parties concer ned,
as I do not like to publish names un-
til have to do so. The pocket book
can be left to me or at the TRIBUNE
office by himself or somebody else,
and reward will be paid as advertised
in first notice. For the sake of avoid
ing trouble hope the party will de-
eide to return the pocket book and
take the reward. If party returns

DOES NOT LIKE ELECTRICITY.
Poet Queen of Roumania Will Not
Have Her Galleries Properly
Lighted.

Elizabeth, the poet queen of Rou-
mania, better known to the reading
world as Carmen Silva, shares with
Queen Victoria a dislike for electric
lights, and opposed their use in her
apartments until cutie recently. Her
boudoir was lighted by crystal flow
ers, in the heart of which cleaned
pale, colored lights. The place is
filled with panel pictures and verses,
all written by the queen or painted by
one of her gifted court ladies. The
great dining hall is ornamented with
tall panels illustrating the principal
works of Carmen Silva's novels, re-
mances and poems. The room is very
somber, being furnished with black
oak and cordovan leather and lighted
only by stained glass windows, brill
liant in color and representing court
balls, wedding bouquets and other
royal festivities, but nevertheless they
prevent the sun from penetrating the
gloomy grandeur of the apartment.
And this is why the queen, who loves
beauty and harmony, strictly forbids
the wearing of black or dark dresses
at her table. She prefers a uniform
to conventional evening dress and
does not shrink from any fancy dress
if it be gay and pretty.

when 1 retired from the contract
ing business a short time ago." said
q well known man, relates the New
York Sun, al had number of
horses that was anxious to dispose
of; among them was one named Jerry,
which for several years had been used
to working on the drum. In such
work horse becomes accustomed to
lifting his feet high to avoid striking
the hoisting ropes. When the horses
were rut under the hammer Jerry
went to a Harlem grocer.
about a week later the purchaser
of Jerry called at my house and told
me he had lot of trouble with the
horse. He said that Jerry would go
a short distance when he would stop
short and lift his feet high, and after
doing this would go little further
only to repeat it again. told the
grocer why the horse stopped short
and lifted his feet and also advised
him to look up some contractor and
sell the animal tc him for hoisting
purposes. He did so, otifying me
that he received a larger price than
he paid me for the horse"

LINING GARDEN SOIL.
Best and Cheapest Way Is by the
Systematic Application of PhOs-
phate of Lime.

The best as well as the cheapest
form to apply lime to the land is in
powdered phosphate of lime, procured
in the low grade powdered phosphates,
at a lower price than for lime, with
the additional value of the phosphor-
ic acid, as much in quantity as is con-
tanned in the commercial fertilizers
termed superphosphates, and very
much more than is contained in wood
ashes.
Powdered phosphate of lime mois-
tened with a little water, yields to
water a considerable quantity of solu-
BILE phosphate of lime, and the solu-
bility rapidly increased by the addi-
tion of organic matter.
Hence, wherever earthly phosphates
of lime exist with organic matter,
water will invariably dissolve a por-
ton, progressively with the decompo-
sition of organic matter by fermenta-
ton. This fact is of the utmost i'm
portance to agriculture.-Andrew II.
Ward, in American Gardening.

DANGEROUS TO GET ANGRY.
Paroxysms Have Frequently Result
ed I'm Death or Mortal
Injury.

A study of anger from experiences
in about 1000 cases, collected from re-
liable observers, has been made by G.
Stanley Hall. The causes were many
and various, and often being trivial,
and the physical sensations accom-
panying it differed greatly with the
individual, says Stray Stories.
Flushing WAS very general, although
pallor was characteristic in 27 per
cent. of the cases. The heart beats
were violent, several cases of death
from rupture of this organ being re-
ported, ard there were sometimes pc
culiar sensations in mouth and throat,
sometimes dizziness or faintness, fre-
quently tears, and generally copious
salvation, which might produce froth-
ing at the mouth.
Common sounds were animal-like
cries in children, and oaths and
threats in adults, while in many cases
the throat was paralyzed and there
was inability to speak above a whis-
per, or without crying or trembling.
Butting with the head, biting and
scratching are noticeable in childish
anger.

OUR CHEESE INDUSTRY.
TO Make 1t Respected in Foreign
Cezntries Requires Sensible Con-
RFessfonaI Legislation.

A leading cheese exporter who is
quoted in the Boston Transcript states
that the total production of cheese in
this country at the present time is fig
ured at about 265, 100000 pounds an
aually and that we export about TO-
300, 900 pounds of this amount. He fig
ures that the home consumption is
about 100000, 900 pounds, including
about 100000 pounds of foreign
cheese that is imported. If these fig
ures are correct our exports of cheese
are very much larger than they were
last year, which are given by the treas
ury bureau of statistics at 3S,19S.753
pounds for the fiscal year of 1899. Most
likely the Boston exporters figures are
exaggerated, but it is probable that we
shall show a considerable gain in our
exports for this year. Since the cru
sade that has been made against
filled cheese, our cheese has recov-
cred some of the reputation that it
lost. There is demand for further
legislation to prevent the counterfeit
ing of well-known brands of cheese, in
order to restore the prestige of these
different makes. Congress is being
urged to give our cheese-makers the
benefit of laws that will enable them
10 compete with Canadian dairymen,
who have developed large export
trade in recent years at our expense. 1t
is believed that with laws that guar
antee the genuineness of our cheese
products we might recover the former
high position they enjoyed in foreign
markets. 1t is pointed out that Amer
lean cheese is in some cases bought by
Canadians and shipped to Great Brit
ain as a Canadian product, finding a
ready market. Our dairymen. make
as good cheese as can be found in the
world and should have considera BILE
share of the foreign trade. What they
need in order to occupy more promi-
nent position is legislation that will
convince the foreign consumer that he
is not being deceived but is buying
cheese that is exactly what it is repre-
sented to be.-Farmers' Voice.

When man writes a whole column

most foolish, the writer or the reader.
The balance of nature is very beau

is i'll, he also has no one to worry him
when he is well.
We have not altered much since the
time of Alexander the Great, when
an eastern sage, on being asked what
was sufficient competency for man,
replied, "a little more"
When a man is spooning a girl he
usually gives her to understand that
he is her wiling and abject slave. and
yet he is worrying her ali the time to
make him her lord and master.
Funny, is it not?

without seeing her, as when a woman
possessed beauty she never took the

Care OF MIX in Summer.

Assistant Dairyman H. E. Van
Norman, of the Indiana experiment
station, is the author of an instruc-
tive bulletin on the Summer Care
of Milk and Cream" He advises thor
ough cleanliness in and about the
dairy while handling the milk and
cream, and particularly while milk
ing. Cows usually have much dust
and particles of manure in their hair,
next the skin, and when the mixer
does his work this germ-laden dust
falls into the pail. 1t is estimated that
2,020 bacteria fall into the milk from
an unwashed udder as compared with
90 when the udder is washed just
before milking. In spite of the best
efforts some bacteria will get into the
milk, and this makes it necessary to
cool the milk as quickly as possible
to so degrees or below. Cooled to As
degrees the bacteria in the milk are
inactive.

To Restore Faded sill...

Faded silks can be restored by being
sponged with weak ammonia water and
afterwards rubbed with soft cloth.
Old black silks are improved by a
sponge bath of spirit and water, and
cloth dresses by being brushed with
blue water. After the gown has been
beaten and busted thoroughly, dip the
bristles of a clothesbrush into blue
water and brush the dress quickly. To
remove grease spots from a skirt of
woolen or other material use benzine.
Unpack the hem or band of the skirt
and lay piece of flannel or blotting
paper beneath the soil; above it put
second piece of blotting paper, and
on this rest hot iron until the stain
10 removed.-St. Louis Republic.

Western horticulturists are advising
to locate raspberry and blackberry
patches on northwest, east or south
east, as the prevailing winds are mostly
from the other directions. The evident
reason for this advice is that the winds
will thus blow over the patch rather
than through it. The advantages are
twofold. The canes are not broken by
the gales. and during the hot weather
the air does not so rapidly draw the
moisture out of the soil. For the same
reason a wind-break is an advantage.

And the warm sun whispers secrets to

And though some seasons are weary,

past
And we'll enter fairer country and rest
in the light at last.
Wen rest in the light at last-in the

whisper a last good night:
And storm and strife will be memories
that soon shall melt away
In that light of beautiful morning-the

POODLE pUrFs AT CIGARS.
A Stray Performing Deg IL Adopted
BY Many Hyde Park Resi-
aeuxs

A stray poodle that dances ON its
two hind feet and holds a lighted
cigar in it's mouth has appeared fire.
quently in the neighborhood of the
Hyde Park police station of late. says
a Chicago paper. 1t is thought that
the animal has escaped from some
show. Almost every morning the dog
may be seen on Lake avenue, near
Fifty-third street, doing number
of antics for some children. The dog
has no license, but it is thought that
inside of a short while some thought
full person will adopt the canine. 1t
can waltz beautifully.
In fact, the animal will always start
to move its feet at the sound of music.
Many of the policemen of the Hyde
Park station have taken great fancy
to the animal and frequently given 1T
food out of their own lunch cans.
The dog is known by the name of
Jack and ever since the little fellow
has made it's appearance in the neigh
borhood Jack has become household
word. AS soon as Hyde Parker liv-
ing in the vicinity of Lake avenue and
Fifty-third street speaks of Jack
everybody knows what he or she Is
talking about.
Every morning Jack makes round
of all the houses. When the dog ap-
peared in Hyde Park one day lately
he was very thin, but already a no.
ticeable change is apparent in his con-
dition. Jack can with ease hold a
lighted cigar in its mouth for five
minutes. Some of the boys have
made a habit of giving the animal
bits of cigarettes to hold between its
sharp teeth.
