A noteworthy fact in connection with
the red fire demonstration of Satur-
day night was the almost total absence
Of decorations. The Chief Marshal and
the Beacon had made strong appeal
to the merchants and citizens to decor
ate the down town quarter but the
banks We're about the only ones that
obeyed. This failure to decorate was
very disappointing to the campaign
committee; nearly as disappointing as
the absence of young ladies and work
ingmen from the parade.

even 20 feet. It possesses another ad
vantage of large Importance: being low
down, the fodder is placed on it with
out tossing it, as with wagon, and no
difference how hard the wind may blow
it can be loaded and will stay in place.
The two pieces which form the frame
GAY are made of poles, IS or 16 feet
long, trimmed down so as to dispense
with unnecessary weight. Where tim
ber for saving is convenient these
pieces may be made the length men,
toned and sawed 2x8 inches, hooks
made of wagon tires or other band iron
being attached to the ends to hook over
the rear bolster of the wagon, the box
of which has been removed and the hay
frame, with tall standards placed at
the front end, put thereon, leaving off
the wings. However, most farmers will
make the pieces of straight poles and
cut notch in the ends to fit over the
wagon bolster and make them secure
by heavy chain or rope. There should
be three cross pieces, as shown, to make
the frame rigid, and two sets of stand
ards (B) to hold the fodder straight
and in place. One end of the frame
drags on the ground, which, if very
rough, will make it necessary in order
to avoid trouble, to tie rope on the
front end of the hay frame and bring
it straight across the top of the load,
tieing the other end to the cross piece
(C). With this device you not only have
the hay frame to load on, but the de-
vice illus trated, which will accommo-
date several shocks, and greatly facil-
itate the work of hauling out fodder

SECRET SIGNS IN TRADE.
The Custom of Using Ten-Lettel
Words az Cost Marks II
Going Out.

Among the old-time features which
are disappearing from the city stores
because of the modern methods is the
cabalistic cost mark which the mer-
chant once thought as indispensable as
the counter over which he sold his
wares.
The man who started business for
himself devoted many hours before he
made his first display of wares to "mak-
ing up cost mark. This had to be
unlike any other mark, and was, in
some instances, composed of ten HERO
glyphics, often of transposed figures,
and more often of a word or two, the
letters of which could be used to ex-
press figures. A large wholesale con-
Germ in New York used the mark "God
save u.s." and made up the tenth figure
with cross. Through this business
house the pious cost mark became
known all over the country. Clerks
from the establishment entered the
mercantile field on their own account
and took the cost mark with them. and
within few years it was in use in near
ly every state in the union.
Another cost mark which found many
admirers was MAKE profit" and this
was only trife more popular than
'Quick trade" "Johny Miles" served
as sign as we'll as cost mark for one
concern, and one sentimental Irishman
who opened linen store in New York
in the days when Niblo's garden was
"away up town" chose as his cost mark
'My Bridget o.
When the campaign of 1860 was at its
height an ardent republican in Boston,
in whose store cost mark was in use
that had been invented by his grand
father, marked all his goods over in
order to use the mark, "Abe will win,"
and this mark remained in use for years
after "Abe" had won the fight against
Douglas, Breckenridge and Bell, who
were all candidates against Lincoln.
About that time the cost mark "Hit
Douglas" was invented, and that and
Republican" are still in use in places
where plain figures have not superseded
the puzzle marks.
large dry goods house, which had
the patronage of hundreds of pack, bas-
ket and wagon peddlers, used as cost
mark the words, "Revoch Gilt" Yid-
dish phrase, which means, "Profit tells, -
and the translation was also used by
the same concern.
"These marks were useful said the
manager of one of the large New York
dry goods stores, "when houses had an
asking and taking price. In those
days man behind the counter had to
know what the goods cost to put on the
shelf so that he could regulate himself
accordingly. An offer to split the diff
ference when one price was asked and
another offered could be entertained
then, and statesmen were often COM
PEELED to 'shade' prices. we will do
this for you,' and It's the last of the lot,'
or We want to make customer of YOU
were among the reasons given for com
ing down on prices; but all the time the
salesman had the cost mark before him,
and knew that he was on the safe side"

say, it is as wide as six pretty generous
city block houses side by side; nearly
twice as wide as a legal country road
from fence to fence.
The new bridge will have eig hit troll
ley car tracks, four tracks for elevated
trains, two wagonways, two footways
and probably a bicycle track-though
at the present rate of decline of the
bicycle fever, the wheelmen's vote will
soon have lost it's terrors for politi-
clans.
One new bridge will pass high over
Blackwell's island, where 1000 or 5000
of the city's prisoners and charity
wards are confined. At this point the
water Of the East river is divided and
flows to either side of the island at the
rate of fully four miles an hour, except
just at the turn of the tide. The tide
is indeed so swift that the prisoners
on the island practically never succeed
in swimming over to the New York
shore, though the distance is but a few
hundred feet. A ferry at this point
has always been difficult to manage,
as is the case at He'll Gate, just above,
where the water fairly boils, foiled in
it's effort to find direct outlet, and
rushes round and round in a great
whirlpool. The passage has been great
ly improved by government work, but
ferries are still slow and vexing means
of getting across.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
The State Capitol.


The new state capitol has reached
a point up to the roof beams. It's cost
to the present time has been $1,O04,-
e6o.9S. This was one development of
the recent meeting of the commission.
Architect Gilbert in his regular report
informed the members that the mark
set for the contractors had been
reached, and that all the work con-
templated thus far had been complet-
ed with the exception of two small
portions, the rotunda piers and the
arches of the front wall of the south
pavilion over the main entrance.
Mr.. Gilbert reported that the roof
beams were largely set, the roof truss
es over the chamber of the house of
representatives are mostly in place,
and practically all the iron and steel
work involved in the present contract
is either in place or delivered on the
grounds.
During the past year 65,Os6 cubic
feet of marble have been set; of gran
ite, 800 feet; of Kettle River sand
stone, 2S,592 feet; there are now e.
$685. ,919 common brick in the wall and
1,159,969 sewer brick; 69s,599 pounds
of iron and steel work have been
placed, and Ss0,2s9 pounds have been
delivered.
The commission is already to COM
mence preparations looking toward
the letting of the contract for the
marble dome.

Peculiar Accident.

John Little and Louis Werth were
severely injured in an accident in Min
neapolis. The mishap was very Pc
culiar and unusual one, and to all ap-
pearances unavoidable.
Shortly after 6 o'clock, a Fourth av-
enue car was moving along near Fifth
street, when it struck the outstretched
pole of fuel wagon. The wagon was
backed up against the curb, and the
horses were unhitched. 1t was dark
and the motorman was unable to see
the danger. AS the pole struck the
front vestibule, it was pushed aside,
and then, with considerable force, it
swept through the windows in a line
with the heads of the passengers.
Mr.. Little's head was struck by the
pole, and he was knocked insensible.
A cash four inches in length was cut
in his scalp, laying bare the skull. Mr..
Werth was injured in the same man.

FROZEN MILK TRADE.
In Denmark and Other Dairy Sections
of Europe 1t Has Proved
Great Success.

The following relating to the frozen
milk trade of Denmark, especially that
pertaining to supplying the city of
Copenhagen, is taken from the Elgin
dairy report: About a third of the
available milk is frozen artificially into
cakes weighing about rs pounds each.
These are placed in large cans, which
are subsequently filled with fresh milk,
and, when the receptacles have been
Theoretically closed, they are dis
patched to their destination. Under
suitable conditions the milk keeps
fresh for many days, and when required
for consumption the cans are surround
ed by hot water coils, which, by caus-
ing gradual thawing, creates currents
IN the liquid and pervents any of the
constituents from separating out. Be-
fore this new system came into vogue
all the milk retailed in Copenhagen dur
ing the hot weather was cooled at the
farm and transported to the city at
night. In spite of these precautions
the demand for ''frozen milk" soon be-
came so great that it was not met by
VIC supply "HIC1A CACA o1AOuAlSu ~
nearly 5000 gallons per day. A Ger
man commission which was sent last
year to investigate the ice milk trade
of Copenhagen reported that not only
had there been no difficulty in introduce
ing it, but the milk was preferred to
any other, because chilling it as soon
as possible after milking preserves the
original aroma, and hinders the action
of micro-organisms. 1t was also re-
ported to be of advantage to retailers,
who can thereby store their surplus
milk and use it as it is needed.
An interesting experiment was made
in Germany last summer in this con-
nection. Frozen milk. contained in a
square can, which was packed with
straw in a wooden box, was sent from
an ice dairy in northern Prussia to
Zurich, in Switzerland. Owing to un-
foreseen delays the consignment was
en- route from June to June 9. The
milk was then found to be absolutely
normal in taste and smell, and, on test
ing. its acidity corresponded to that of
freshly drawn milk. The liquid was,
in fact, unchanged, and the case has
been quoted in the German dairy press
as an encouraging fact regarding the
supply of fresh milk under adverse cir
cumstances, which, it may be added, al
ways obtain in hot countries.

FOR HAULING FODDER.
A Simple Frame Upon Which Three
or Four Shocks Can Be Carried
5Gg with Ease.

Hauling out fodder with an ordinary
hay frame on the wagon or on a sled
with standards at either end is a slow
business when there are large numbers
of hogs, sheep, cattle and horses to be
fed. When the mercury registers above
15below zero and the shocks are covered
with snow and sleet the farmer wants
to get his fodder out and fed to the
stock as soon as possible, vixen he un-
dertakes it. When but one or two shocks
are hauled at time several trips have
to be made, making few hours work
take up half day.
The illustration herewith shows a
simple, inexpensive fodder frame or
gear upon which it is easy to haul three
or four Urge shocks, sometimes five, de-
pending upon the length, which may be

a big theater built especially for this
event.
Mrs. Gould was once professional
actress, and good one; she is now
an amateur. No one can leave the
stage for many years and come back
to it without having forgotten many
lessons. But of course the beautiful
mistress of "Georgian Court" was head
and shoulders above the other anna
teurs, and won any amount of ap-
plause.
This great and unique entertainment
was intended as direct bid for posi-
tion as society leader. Mrs. Gould
has never been quite sure of her place
in society. A sweeter and gentler lady
it would be hard to find; but the mis-
take of using the $15,O0O.0oo of Anna
Gould's money to buy French title of
doubtful value instead of an English
one was well-nigh fatal to ali the
Goulds, socially. Their position has
been, however, much improved by their
many successes abroad since they took
up yachting and polo. There is little
doubt that Mrs. Gould's position has
been strengthened by this weeks work.

entertainments, and to be entertained

Dorset Sheep and Dogs.

A Maryland farmer who grows Dor
set sheep offers to sell yearling rams to
any responsible party with the agree
ment that if they are killed by dogs
they need not be paid for. He says he
saw one of his ewes leave a flock to at
tack wolf hound, and she made him
forget which way he was intending to
20. If this is true, the introduction of
the Dorset may solve the question for
those who would like to keep sheep,
but say they cannot from fear of loss
by dogs; yet, pugnacious as they are
when dogs are round, it is said that the
rams are even less liable to attack per-
sons who enter the field than some
other breeds. We will not vouch for
this, having had no experience.-Rural

occupying an adjoining farm. Larson
had been melancholy during the win

Newspaper Workers OF Gotham
Something About the Men and Women Who
Mold Pubhc Opinion:

Mr.. Keller was democrat. He came
into Tammany just at the time when
it lost in Bourke Cochran it's most ef-
fective speaker, and he supplied the
lack. Now he is invaluable to the
party. The combination of forceful
character with oratorical ability of high
order is not so common.
There are anecdotes about this huge
Kentuckian. Here is one:
Once he wrote book called "The Sci
ence and Art of Playing Poker" When
he turned in his copy he received, as
per agreement, 5000 for his work. That
was late in the afternoon. On his way
home he met a lot of other fellows of
similar tastes, and big game of poker
followed. When Big John rose in the
not very early hours of the morning
he had lost every cent of the money he
had made by writing the book.
