o oATexas Steer"

"A Texas Steer is headed this way and from all accounts will arrive here to- day. Arrangements have been made to capture this two-horned product of the wild and woolly, and 1t is definitely an- nounced that "A Texas Steer" will be at the Jefferson theater. Charles Hoyt stands today as the leading satirical playwright of this country, and his fame rests on the success achieved by this play. He was comparatively unknown until "A Texas Steer" took the metropolis by storm and broke all records by a continuous run of 400 nights Life at the national capital is portrayed, with special attention to certain types of politicians. The hero is wealthy Texan, elected to congress against his will. One of his first political friends in Wash ington is Brassy Gall. 1t Is suggestive name, and tells the character of the lobby ist represented. He is but a sample of the humorous yet powerfully drawn types in which the play abounds. There Is all sorts of fun, with the single exception of the vulgar or risque. There Is a pretty love story, and some touches of dfomely pathos that goes to the heart.

Coffee Made in Glass.

Here is method Of making coff eo
which may be worth trying to those
who like their morning cup strong.
1t is practically the French drip
method, but the distinguishing char
acteristic is that it is made in glass,
instead of metal Buy from depot
of medical supplies all annea!od glass
flask about the size OF al ordinary
water bottle. Boiling water will not
break it. A glass funnel and square
of coarse muslin complete the coffee
machine. The water should boil over
spirit lamp placed on the table, in
order that it may be used at precisely
the right moment.
Fill the funnel, lined with muslin
square, with freshly ground coffee, a
heaping tablespoonful to the cup. The
flask should first be heated by pour
ing in little boiling water. The
coffee is made by pouring boiling
water through the funnel into the
flask. 1t is very black, and most
people will prefer their cups half filled
with hot water.

The Orchard in Winter.

There is no question that the
orchard of any kind will do better in
growth and in productiveness if kept
IN cultivation than il in grass, with
two exceptions or restrictions in re-
gard to cultivation. 1t should not be
put in grain, as that deprives the soil
not only Of tertilit. but Of moisture,
and, second, there IS a danger, as
some learned by experience last
year, that if the ground is kept bare
during the winter, some varieties,
which might be hardy if their roots
were protected by a blanket OF sod,
would suffer from root freezing when
unprotected. This last may be guard
ed against by growing crop of clover,
or even of winter rye, among the trees,
to be put IN as green manure IN the
spring. or they may he protected by
mulching.
But we believe the cutawav or any

reach to the roots, BIZ, little harm Is
done. as they do not completely sever
them. 4 good harrow Of that sort
will work as deep as it Is desirable to
so in an orchard. and if any manure
or fertilizer is applied, 1t will mix il
we'll with soil, even cutting up the rye
or clover in the spring, killing all
