WOULD NOT CHANGE METHODS
Tfls shows That English Merchants
Are Too Conservative for
Their own Good.

The intense conservatism Of the Brit
ish character is illustrated in the story
OF a young Englishman who came to
America 10 seek his fortune and found
it in a new process for manufacturing
lampblack, says the Kansas City Star,
The principal market for his product
was Germany, but he found that the
German buyers, in turn, sold it in Eng
land. So he conceived the logical idea
of going to England and selling the
lampblack direct, which appeared to
be certain Of success, for he was able
to say to the English firms:
"lnstead of buying my lampblack
through Germany and paying for un-
necessary transportat alton, to say moth
ing of the middleman's profit, let me
send you the product direct. You can
then buy even cheaper than the Ger
mans, to whom you now pay profit"
Ths head Of one of the largest
houses replied:
Really, Mr.. Smith, our house has al.
ways found the goods bought in Ger
many satisfactory. This house has
been IN existence-2OO years. and we can
see na reason for changing satisfactory
methods, you know"
Poor Mr.. Smith got this reply on all
sides and his trip was failure.

WATCHES THE sNowsHEDs.
The singular Occupation a Western
Woman Has Chosen and
Ably Fills.

Mrs. Paul Reicke sits hour after hour
each day, field glass in hand, upon a
lofty peak in the Sierra Nevada noun
tains watching for fires in the snow
sheds that line the railroad through
the rocky Businesses. She and her hus
band have undertaken the task for the
company, says the Chicago Chronicle.
The man watches for fires by night and
the woman in the daytime.
Red mountain, on the brow of which
stands the signal station, has bold,
bare front that juts out from the main
range across the canyon of the Yuba
river, opposite Cisco station, four miles
away. The signal house is small, but
substantial, and'h has glass front.
There are fire alarm signals situated
all along the interior Of the sheds, only
half mile separating one from the
next, and there are track walkers to
keep constant lookout night andday
and to turn in an alarm if they see
anything wrong. But there might be
fires which they would not see until too
late and the entire chain of sheds
might be singed off the landscape while
they would be running to the nearest
alarm box, even if they did see the
flames, if the woman up on the noun
tain top did not flash much quicker
alarm into Cisco by telephone and have
the fire trains rushing to the scene
within 60 seconds of the time the first
snnka ap,,aaraI
Both Mr.. Reicke and his wife are peo-
pie of culture and knowledge of the
world. Mrs. Reicke is quite young and
comely. Mr.. Reicke is the father of
grown sons, some of whom are in busi-
ness in San Francisco.
Mr.. Reicke goes into town once @
week for supplies and to attend to
whatever business connected with the
company may arise. In his absence,
should he remain over night, Mrs.
Reiclse must remain at her post with
out sleeping. 1t is then that her posi-
tion is enough to awe any woman, or
even man. Absolutely alone on top
OF a mountain 5000 feet high, and sur
rounded by smaller mountains on all
sides, without other human habitation
closer than four miles-isolated in this
tremendous solitude, with nothing to
do but sit at window and with o field
glass patrol the distant line of civiliza-
tion across the canyons and other
mountain tops throughout the long
day, and pehaps thoughout the long,
dark night as well-that is position
which few women would have the nerve
TO occupy and one in which few women
would be trusted.

MUD HEN EGGS FOR CHICAGO.
Industry But Little Known a Money
Producer for Hunters Of
BuFeRu County.

Green river hen fruit" will soon be-
gin to make its appearance in Chicago.
This IS an Illinois product Of which Chi
cagoans partake without knowing
what theyare eating. Green river hen
fruit is the egg OF mud hen. Mud
her is the common name of the Ameri-
can coot. or Virginian rail, says Chi
cago paper.
During the month Of May is the busy
season of the mud hen; likewise of the
individuals who make living robbing
her nest The hens, in large numbers,
frequent the marshes of the Green and
Illinois rivers. They nest in swarms,
on punches Of drift, and here they are
easily found by the egg hunters, who
find ready market in Chicago for all
of their offerings A Green river
hunter last year gathered 1000 dozen
eggs in three weeks, clearing 500 for
his labor. The price last year netted
six cents dozen.
Nearly all OF the eggs are taken in
Bureau county, They are coated in the
same manner as the product of the
barnyard fowl, and are sold to restaur-
ant men and confec TONERS. 1t is said
to be al easy matter for an egg hunter
acquainted with the haunts and habits
of the mud hen TO take from 500 to 500
dozen eggs in single season.

To.day there are dozen large mills

Pennsylvania's coal output is great

One of the largest works of mans

The Academy of Natural Sciences,
which claims the distinction OF hav-
ing been the first scientific body to
issue a publication in the United
States. is shortly to resume the dis
tribution of its proceedings in print
ed form. Its earliest publication was
an octave journal, begun in 1917, and
continued until 1s42.
1t is q well-established fact that
plants can be improved by crossing
and iudicious selection quite as sure
ly and effectively as the breeding OF
animals. The sugar beet may be
quoted as an example of what culti-
vatiou may do. The sugar beet of
to-day actually contains about three
times us large a proportion of sac
charine matter as it did century
ago.
The average dietary of individuals
in different countries varies greatly.
An English statistician, Mr., r. F.
Crawford, finds that an inhabitant of
the United Kingdom consumes much
more meat than n Belgian, French
man or German, but in smaller pro-
portion of bread and potatoes. More
bread and less meat are eaten in Bel
gium than in any other country con-
sidered, while French peculiarity is
the apparent small use of milk.

A CHIVALRIc BIRD.
The aOIden-CrOwned Thrush Ar
ranges a Dainty Compartment
for His Mate,

Even the birds recognize woman's
riehts-at least so an Audubonite lee
turer declared the other day in describ-
ing the habits of the golden-crowned
thrush, more faniliarly known as the
oven-bird. The word "oven" merely re-
fers to the shape of the philosophers
nest, which usually is built on the
ground with a dome-like roof. Even
the family name suggests fire, being
Furnariidae, says the Baltimore News.
But the way in which the nest is
built explains the birds answer to
eternal feminine" demands. A parti-
ton divides the ''oven" into two COM
partments. The inside one is for the
LADY bird and has a luxurious feather
bed. The outer room is the gentleman
birds boudoir, and it's only furniture
is rough clay couch.
The head Of the family has a golden
crown-which he deserves. for he's
gentleman and a scholar--a regular
bird of bird, to fall into the slang of
the day-who might teach something
10 humanity masculine humanity,
that is.

author Of a story sent to magazine

been accepted he picked up another
ma gazine, and there was his story, with
precisely the same plot, told by a writer
he had never met. There was just time
for him TO send word to the magazine

have the story taken from the form.
