may be of some interest to the general
reader. Until the first years of the 18th
century, force and violence reigned SUI
preme over Europe. MOBILES built castles
not as homes, but as forts in which It
was necessary to reside as the ONLY
means of comparative safety. Sleeping
rooms were perched off in out of the way
places, In the tops of the turrets usually
parlors were unheard of, the dining room
was simply place where they ate, moth
ing more. The only consideration was
strength of defense Comfort was sec
ondary. With the opening of the
awakening era in Europe, peace did not
descend as dove and rest over Europe
far from it, but at about that time
the actual power began to be centralized
to some degree, and the first indications
of stable central government began to
appear. Then the world took breathing
spell, as the vital struggle grew less
fierce and the nobility felt freer to de-
vote more time to fetes and pleasures.
1t might be fairer to say that while pre-
viously they were necessarily on the alert
night and day now it was possible to
rest during the carnage that was still to
rack Europe for centuries. Larger cas-
ties became imperative to accommodate
the increasing requirements, more light
and air was wanted. Decoration and
pretenttous entrances followed as a mat

of castles that had formerly been tow

ASH BARREL MAN
Takes His Wife to See the Worlds
Fair at Paris.


Syracuse Special to New York Journal.
Henry Eipp, the old ash barrel man,
who makes his living by attending to
the furnaces and the garbage cans Of the
aristocracy rere, is one cf the few resi-
dents of Syracuse who can afford TO go
to the Paris exposition this year. He and
his wife have just started. Rich friends
saw them off at tho railroad station and
tleluged them with flowers
The Eipps are old Germans The man
is bent with toll. He has made what
ever money he owns by attending strictly
to business Winter and summer he Is
always punctual If he promises to at
tend to a furnace at o'clock he is there
precisely at that hour.
A few weeks ago the old chap made
tour among his patrons. II am sorry
that 1 shall be away three months" he
said. you see, me and my wife are go
ing to the Paris exhibition. after which
we shall go to see The old home in Ger

''send-off" They deluged the old people
with things that will add to their CONF
fort on the voyage. The Eipps beamed
and blushed with happiness and pride
" hen they were escorted to the station
by a committee of their patrons
This Is a fine day for us, mother" said
old Henry to his wife, as they stood wait
ing for the train, their arms full of bou-
Quets.
How much money the E.pps have they
would not say, but they have saved a
good deal. Eipp says he means to inter-
view some of the ash barrel workmen in
Germany and see how their lot compares
with his.
The Eipps live in a picturesque little
cottage on the Colvin tract, In one of the
suburbs 1t is a tiny house. covered with
climbing vines and roses, and the front
yard is made blue by the thick tangles
of bachelor buttons and larkspur. Inside
there is not n speck nor flaw The
small rooms are the picture of thrift and
comfort, and give proof that a man can
live well and with self-respect, even If he
is only an old lash barrel man.
This Is our home,' said the man to a
caller just before he sailed. This is
where we shall live the rest OF our lives.
I don't know how I shall like not work
ing, but think 1 shall be glad enough
to get back to my furnaces in the fall. I
hate to leave them to any one else, but

it is represented to be. ~
IF man can't save money In this coun-
try it's his own fault, he added. Though
the rich men are getting pretty much all
there is, still there are a few crumbs here
and there for even an ash barrel man"

within few feet of timoer line, Mr..

Eggs without Shells.

In the report of the trade Of Italy
for the years 1898 and 1899, by Sir
George Bonham, secretary to her ma
jesty's embassy at Rome, there Is an
interesting paragraph describing the
system adopted for the expectation of
eggs to England for pastry. The shell
is removed, and the interior OF the
egg-white and yolk together-is pack
ed in air-tight vessels or drums con-
tanning each /, 900 eggs. Great care is
taken to ensure the eggs being fresh,
and to exclude the air, as one bad egg
spoils all the remainder. and renders
the consignment unstable. The new
system has the advantage of removing
the risk of breakage and is also pre-
ferred by the pastry cook for whose
use they are intended. AS to the ex-
tent of the trade in eggs the report
mentions that in 1897 Russia exported

the local manufacturers cater to their
patronage with considerable percent

tive southern customer still calls for

days every southern gentleman had his
boots and shoes made to order, and
the impression is even now pretty gen.
eral that no factory-made article can
possibly be as good as the hand-built
wares turned out by the antebellum
craftsman. That is a great mistake.
A high-class, machine-made shoe is
better than anything produced by hand.
for the reason that the stitching il ab-

work no two stitches are of exactly
the same tension, but on the machine
they are as like as so many peas. The
result of this uniformity Is that the
shoe holds its shape better and lasts
longer. That is one point out of many.

call attention to the extraordinary at
fractions of this wonderfully favored
mountain town.

descriptive ability of enthusiastic Nis-

the poverty of human speech. AS well

to paint with words the charm, the
grandeur, the beauty of this Gem of

visited by the writer are all of these
attractions so concentrated and on such
prodigious scale as in the little basin
in which is located Ouray.
Nor are its natural attractions its
only ones. Its hotels are large, modern
and reasonable in their charges. Its
streets wide, clean and well sprinkled,
its private homes handsome and nu-
merous, its stores well stocked, its citi-
zens enterprising and courteous to
strangers. Its distance from thickly

being off the main line of railway
