PROFIT IN MINT AND STRAW5.
Woman Clears More than Three I hou
r sand Dollars a Year.


One of the most novel caliings in St
Louis, Mo-. from which a comfortable
income is derived is that followed by
Mrs. Mary Weber, who, for the last
twenty years, has furnished mint aud
straws to the leading downtown saloons.
Her annual income from this source is
estimated al $1,000
Mrs. Weber follows well-defined
route downtown, and makes her rounds
according to a schedule which brings her
To her various customers places Of hus-
ness ut the same hour each morning.
Her mother followed the same business
before her, and the TWO women have
made q good living out OF the route for
nearly forty years.
Fresh mint and wheat strawS are the
only things handled by Mrs. Weber, and
the sale of these two saloon necessities
amounts to Il large sum at the end Of the
year. The leading saloons in the city
use treble the quantity of mint required
by any restaurant, so she mas made L
specially of sales ia the various THIRST
parlors
All her mint is grown in beds around
her home on Prairie avenue, and in 4
small garden she OWLS. while the straws
are purchased from the farmers and
carefully cut and bleached n her home.
Every morning a fresh supply of mint *
gathered and by the means OF Il small
system OF nOJnOuSeS, Sne Keeps up tAS
supply steadily all the year round.
Mint is tied in small lunches Of about
twenty stems each. and is sold by the
bunch. while strawS are bound INTO bun
dies several of which are furnished for
a nickel The small quantity Of mint
seen in restaurant mint sauce, which
often resembles weak tea, the tea leaves
left in. would lead the casual spectator
To suppose that sales of the herb would
amount to but small figure in saloons
as well, but this is not the ease
An average of six stems Of mint is
used in mint juleps and other like drinks
and aS the bundle OF twenty stems costs
5 cents. it can he seen that nearly ,
cents worth of mint is placed in most
drinks requiring such tavoriug. From
this little instance il can be seen that
Mrs. Neber'S income is far from Il bad
one
1t is evident that placing her net prof
its at $4,000 per annum is a conservative
estimate.
The original purchase Of the straws
amounts to hut little, while the bleach
ing is a process easily carried ont. Her
market fer >traws Is nearly as large as
that fer mint. SO the income from the
source is also a large one.

FASTER THAN CAVALRY.
English SoIdiery's Interesting Ex-
perine nt in Cycle Warfare.

Those sapient officers who have ex-
pressed the opinion that large bodies Of
cyclists upon a road are bound to get
confused will be interested to learn that
the confusion exists solely in their 0Wn
minds. At Aldershot recently, relates
London newspaper, not only were 1900
cyclists managed upon single road By
single commander, but the merit Of
the1r performance was maintained
throughout the operations of whole day.
1t was a red-letter event in the history Of
military cycling, the doyen of which
Maj.-Gen. Sir Frederick Mauricc-had
ten satisfaction of witnessing from the
seat of a motor car the successful expert
ment and outcome of his Wo0lwicl
teachings.
The great SNAKE" of cyclists, three
miles long, attended by several motor
cars and headed by the prince of auto
mobilists, Charles Rolls, acquitted Itself
splendidly and completely solved some Of
the mysteries concerning the employment
of cyclists i'll military operations. Maj
Gen. Douglas moved his men from the
Queens parade at 8 O'clock, pursuing l
phantom enemy in the north and endeay-

The column got into swing from the
very commencement, preserved intervals
and space and arrived at BagShot III
something over the hour-much faster
than cavalry, and, of course. immeasuIe-
ably ahead of foot troops. Gen. Sir Red

and Col II. S. g. 1Iiles inspected the
column as il defiied past into Bagshot
as mobile and smart a body Of mounted
troops as could possibly be furnIshed
from the auxiliary forces.
Then the maneuvers began, me Ioi-'

and then to the left, and handled as ~

Out of every evolution demanded the ly-
