Mr.. MIDDLETON, according to the New

claims are made, but a great many do not

Major uses the best materials ever discovered

cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells US that one of
the elements of his cement costs So. 70 a pound

Majors Cement retails at 10 cents and 20

substitute you can depend upon it that his
only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors Cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr. Ma

$1,000 a month, throughout the country. Es-

FROG AND SNAKE FARM BUSY.
An Indiana Man Does n Thriving
Business in a Peculiar Live
Stock Line.

Al Sphung's turtle, frog and snake
farm in Starke county, Ind, is fur
nishing employment for considera bic
number of persons in that vicinity. On
his land are several creeks and ponds
in which turtles are countless. The
frog hams find ready sale at good
prices in the city markets east and
west, while SNAKES and common turtles
go to educational institutions for dis
section, says a Chicago exchange.
The prices of frogs run from one to
twenty cents dozen, depending upon
the size. Employees are expert in pre-
pairing the frogs for market. They are
clipped in two with shears and the
hams quickly stripped. AS the catch
ers bring in the frogs and turtles they
are placed in large vessels containing
water until they are ready for dressing.
The frogs reach their maturity in
from two or four years and the small
ones are thrown back by the catchers.
Sphung has a good trade in snakes
with museums, side shows and parks
and the demand for his turtles from
hotels and restaurants is heavy, there
being no limit, generally. He is in the
enjoyment of good income from the
farm and it is growing each year.

HELD WITH JEWELED NAILS.
A Woman'S Ingenious Way of Pre-
venting People from steal
ing Bric-a-brac-

A prominent jeweler in Washington
was rather surprised the other day
when one of his best customers gave
him an order to make half dozen gold
nails and place a jewel III the head Of
each. Besides giving this unique order,
says the Cincinnati Times-Star, the lady
requested him to get her about dozen
very small and finely made gold chains,
She wanted them so delicate and tiny
as to be almost invisible. Naturally, the
jeweler was anxious to know the use
these articles were to be put to, espe-
cially the jeweled nails, and knowing
his customer well enough he ventured
to inquire for what they were TO be
used. The lady did not hesitate in the
least in explaining and seemed rather
glad to do SC. you see, have num-
Der of very valuable objects of art,
which, although they are very expen-
siye, are very small and easily handled.
AS the wife Of an official of the govern
ment, [ am obliged to open my house
during the season to the constituents of
my husband and the curiosity seeking
public in general. On my reception
days, therefore, my house is crowded
with all sorts Of people, and last win
ter [ suffered the loss of several of my
most valuable treasures. I have long
been trying to devise some plan by
which | can keep my objects dart out
side of my cabinets, and yet not have
them stolen, for that is the only word
can use in regard to the loss of my
treasures. | have concluded that must
either nail Gown some of the bric-a-brac
or chain it securely to the table, and
hence [ am going to try this remedy.
That is why [ want these nails and
chains"
The predicament of this lady is not an
unusual one for wives of senators and
government officials, and, strange as il
may seem, it is not the general public
whom they dread so much as some Oh
the well-known pCople.

ENTHUSIASM aside and viewed
strictly from p business and patriotic
point, the Republican national plat
form is one of the greatest ever
adopted by any political party. The
patriotic achieve ments OF the
Mckinley administration, not sur
passed by those Of any administra-
ton in our history, would alone
have made a grand platform. But
the Republican party never contents
itself with plaudits for its past
achievements 1t is party of con-
structive action, thereby differing
radically from its opponents, and IN
the platform points out what 1t pur-
poses 10 do with every important
question now before the public
There is no straddling, no evasion
It is a hatfooted declaration Of al
the principles for which the Republic
an party stands.

SOUNDED BURGLAR ALARM.
The Queer Trick That Was PLAYED
- Upon Two Badly Frightened
Chicago Women.

When burglar alarm rings out in
the middle of the night it is apt to
be more narrowing than burglar
himself, says a Chicago exchange.
The other morning in the wee sma'
hours between dark and DAYLIGHT a
household of two women was aroused
by the sudden piercing jang1e of the
burglar alarm. They clutched each
other with smothered shrieks of ter
ror and lay waiting the onslaught of
the man of blood and iron.
The time seemed interminable and
every soHnd seemed fraught with di-
rect import of dread The stairs
creaked, the bed sighed in fright, the
chairs ard tables all seemed to- be
holding q whispered consultation as
how best to confound the enemy, and
the curtains swathed themselves into
ghostly visitors with every breath Of
air that flew IN through the open
window
At last suspense became unbear-
able, and carefully arising the two
ghivering women tiptoed quietly out
Of the room and down the darkened
hallway to the stairs and after an in
slant or two Of breathless indecision
they walked down to the lower floor,
and still no sight of an intruding vii
lain shocked them into unconscious
ness. After that their courage res
turned to their trembling finger tips.
and they marched boldly into the din.
ing-room, only to discover that the
wind had lowered an unfastened win.
dow and the reason of the alarm was
apparent.
Now they are wondering if they
wouldn't rather have burglar than
a burglar alarm.

TRAVEL ON THE LAKES.
In Summer the Steamers Are Kept
Very Busy by the Tour
list Travel.

The travel on Lake Michigan by boat
is immense, far beyond any popular es-
innate. The along-shore routes from
here to Racine, Milwaukee, lake ports,
further north as far as Green Bay, and
the routes across the lake to Michigan
points are crowded throughout the sum-
mer months and in the early fall, says
the Chicago Chronicle. Great numbers
also embark at Chicago for Lake Su-
perior. All the craft on the lines to
Mackinaw, Marquette, Ashland and
Duluth are loaded with tourists. A few
years ago the lakes were almost desert
ed by travellers. Within a year or two
the attractions of lake travel have been
widely appreciated by the public, and
a trip on the floating palaces so to
speak, of the lake navigation companies,
with a sojourn at resorts or in camp at
favorable points, is understood to be
the best outing that fellow-citizen
of moderate means can find within his
reach. A trip up and down the great
lakes serves the same purpose as trip
across the continent by rail to create a
vivid conception of the greatness of this
country. The length of the lakes is
some 1,500 miles, and to produce an ap-
probation of their remarkable diversi-
ty they should be seen from both direc-
tons, making a voyage as long as that
across the Atlantic. An American who
has not travelled on the lakes from Buff
falo to Chicago and to Dullsth and back
again is not fitted for foreign travel;
he has no images of his own country to
compare with the images of other coun-
tries which may be formed in the mind.
