REFLECTED Glory Club.

The suggestion that it is time to or
ganize a Reflected Glory club comes
from Chicago man. He neglects to
say whether he would be eligible for
membership, but he very carefully out
lines his plan, as follows:
Something is certainly due to the
husbands of women who are constant
ly in the public eye. 1t is unfair to
them that all the glory that is lying
around loose should be boarded by
their better halves. In many instances
they have to work hard to support their
wives, and the accumulation of glory
merely adds to the burden. Just a
plain woman is worthy of any mans
effort, but a woman wrapped up in
the self-importance that usually ac-
companies fame is nothing short of a
terrible load, and as some slight rec
ompense for his labors in her behalf
the husband should have a little of
the glory shed upon him-at least
enough to let the public know that
such man exists. To this end 1 think
a Reflected Glory club should be or
ganized, and it seems to me it would
be quite appropriate to make Mr.. Will
helmina of Holland the president of
it, with either Mr.. Ella Wheeler Will
cox or Mr.. Charlotte Perkins Stetson
as vice president. They are all estim-
able and accomplished gentlemen, 1
believe, but in the language of the day
they do not seem to s-cut much ice'
just at present Among the charter
members 1 would include Mr.. Alice
Blackwell Stone, Mr.. Carrie Chapman
Gait, Mr. Mary Elizabeth Lease and
Mr. Carrie Nation No doubt some of
your readers will be able to suggest
others WHO should be included in the
list, and 1 think you would confer a
lasting boon upon some very deserv-
ing men if you would give a little
space to those who are entitled to a
place on the roster of the club. II !
think of any others I certainly shall
send in the names as a mere matter of
Justice to them.

IA Baltimore Mysfery.

who was recently tried in Baltimore
upon the charge of obtaining money

Miss Caspari has been principal OF a

upon the legal charge and found guilty.
The mystery of the case is, first,
that Miss Caspari is a woman of ire
proachable character and of decided in
tellectual ability. She insists upon it
that the Leafiet association will make
the deficiency good, even when con-
fronted with proof there is no such
association. She will not say where
the money was invested or by whom.
She has not used the money herself,
has none of it in her possession, and
it cannot be found that she has been
benefited cents worth by her work
Yet still she insists there is such an
organization and that it will pay in
time, while saying she knows no one
connected with itsand nothing about it.
Her own counsel is as much in the
dark as any one else, and his theory is
that she is the tool of some stronger
minded person, upon whose suggestion
she has acted 1t is apparent that Miss
Caspari either is much shrewder than
the ordinary criminal or that she has
been the victim of hypnotic suggestion.

ON A SOUND BASIS,
From n Mere Pastime POultrp Keep
ing Has Developed Into Sound
and Safe Business.

Half century ago poultry keeping
and pastime. The beginning may be
said to be about 1S47 to 1850, at the
time of the introduction of the Shang-
hais. Those who have some knowledge
of the history of the past have a fair
idea of what poultry has accomplished.
The, casual observer Of years. age, saw
only enough of it to disgust him with
the whole business. Men who were
engaged in it saw enough money in it,
and as many as had judgment enough
to curtail expenses and reduce stock
at the right time came out with little
money and more or less experience, the
latter worth perhaps as much in the
long run as the money. \ great many
so-called fanciers, however, went into
the business merely for the sake of the
speculation and excitement it afforded,
and went out Of it without knowing
Or caring anything about the ultimate
results. of: the poultry interest at large.
Fanciers of this type (and it is possible
that there are few of them in the
business YETI were interested only in
the proceeds. with no thought of what
poultry breeding has done fer the i'm
provement of the general stock of the
country and the increase of the prod
ucts of the poultry yards of the nation.
There have always been some fanciers
who were true fanciers - not specu-
lators-Who worked for nobier ends
than merely to make money. The
money end. OF course. was not lost sight
OF, but it was not the governing pur-
pose.-Farm and Fireside.

Sticking to One Thing Payz.

Farmers who stick to the crops and
system of farming they have found
most profitable in the long run are
wisest. The low price of hops last
year induced many New York farm
ers to change to other crops and now
they are regretting it. The New York
Farmer says: ''Hops have doubled in
price since the close of the season of
1899. Last year at this time they sold
at seven to ten cents in Otsego and
other counties have received from II
to 20 cents a pound for all the good
hops they have on hand. Some hop
growers turned to potatoes, and lost
their seasons work by drought. 9th
ers tried beans, cabbage and other
truck, and probably not one of them
all has bettered his condition by turn
ing to other crops. Some of them are
decidedly worse off as consequence
of the change"

THE PURE FOOD BILL.
A Measure Whose Passage and Rigid
Enforcement Will Benefit
American Farmers.

1t is gratifying to learn that all op-
posing interests in congress have been
unified on pure food bill and that the
measure may become law soon. Sen
ator Mason and Representative Brosius
have now made their respective bills
exactly alike, and both branches of
congress will support the measure. For
two years strenuous efforts have been
made to obtain legislation to prevent
the adulteration, misbranding and i'm
itation of foods, beverages, candies,
drugs and condiments throughout the
United States. The Massachusetts, bill
is the final embodiment of these la
bcrs and will make desirable law.
Under this measure it will become
the duty of the chemical bureau of the
department OF agriculture to inspect
food and drug products sent to it for
that purpose by the various branches
of the government. The bill prohibits
the shipment Of a0u-terated or mis-
branded foods or drugs from one state
or territory to another or from this
country to a foreign nation, under pain

and 5000 for succeeding offenses, with
imprisonment for one year, at the dis
erection of the court. Great care has
been taken to define exactly the mean
ins; of the terms "adulteration" and
''misbranding," SO that the law may not
be easily evaded. 1t gives promise of
being businesslike and effective meas.
ure for protecting consumers against
frauds of this kind.
There has long been urgent need of
a federal law against food adulteration.
The general government ca deal much
more effectively with such frauds than
can the state Or munici pal government.
1t has better facilities for chemical
analysis and better legal machinery for
bringing offenders to JUSTICE With the
present vast development of interstate
commerce any matter of food aduiter-
alton naturally becomes a national
rather than a local question. There is
reason to believe that a federal law will
accomplish much good in curing exist
ing abuses.-Chicago Tribune.

WATER TROUGH UNDER COVER.

they are metal tanks they should be
boxed in, good plan being shown
in the engraving. If horse and cattle
yards are separated, the tank may oc-
cupy a place in the fence between
them. The inclosing box is brought
in the square to level with the tank
and then rooted over at an angle
OF from 80 to As degrees. At each
end section of the roof is hinged
and may be thrown up against strip
directly over the ridge of the roof,
where U-shaped iron, or horse

blown down. The separation of these
drinking places promotes peaceable
relations among the stock while drink

the water is kept clear and cool in

AMONG THE POULTRY.

A thin turkey sells hard and at a low
price.
Wood ashes should not be used in
the poultry house.
A leahess tree or the top rail of a
fence is very poor protection from
storm or cold.
A little thought, little time and a
very little money will add much to the
comfort and health of the hens and to
the profit of their owner.
A few bushels of garden soil put in
to the hen house now will come handy
before next April. Try it and see if
we are right in the statement.
If soft food is fed it is an excellent
plan to have a cover of Stats over the
trough which will permit the fowls
to eat and yet keep them from getting
into their feed.
Keep the old turkeys for breeding
purposes. Select few of the best
young ones to take the places of those
that have fallen by the way during
the year, or that are too old.-Nation-

DRIED EGGS IN CANS.
The Latest Way in Which the Amcri-
can Hen Is Distributing Her
Nutritious Product

The portable hen is the latest thing
adopted by the commissary depart
nent of the army. 1t lays fresh eggs
every day, is guaranteed to produce
eight dozen, just as they are required,
and weighs only two pounds. Requir-
ing neither food nor water, it can be
carried conveniently in a soldiers
knapsack, and all he has to do when
he wants an omelet or scramble"
is to unscrew the 'critter' and ex-
tract from it with a spoon.
Dried egg in cans is, TO speak more
exactly, the army food of the immedi-
ate future. 1t is put up by a number
OF manufacturers in various parts of
the country, but chiefly in Missouri.
under different trade names, such as
Incorporated egg," desiccated egg,'''
and ''crystailized egg" From two to
these firms the war department has
purchased large quantities of the
stuff, and thousands of cans of it have
been shipped to China and to the
Philippines for the use of our troops.
One pound is equivalent to four dozen
fresh eggs, and it affords an admir-
able substitute. being to all intents
and purposes simply hens eggs with
the water extracted, and 'keeping''
for years, even in a tropical climate.
Dried eggs have been utilized large
ly in Alaska Of late, in the Klondike,
and at Cape Nome. They have been
furnished to British soldiers in South
Africa, in Yankee cans. In this and
other ways the American hen is dis
tributing her product all over the
world. and recent arctic expeditions
have carried similar supplies with
them.-National Stockman.
