RUNS A MEAT MARKET,
Unique Business Venture of Hoch-
eater S. W Girl Who Had to
Earn n Living.

Rochester furnishes a unique ex-
ample of the modern woman. She
is Miss d. E. Stevenson. who has
opened a butcher shop at the cor
ner of Plymouth avenue and Grieg
streets, and has succeeded in estab-
fishing one of the leading retail
meat stores of the city.
Miss Stevenson does all the reg
ular work of butcher except the
slaughtering, and in order to COM
plete her education is even willing
to attempt that. She does all her
own buying, cutting, weighing, ETC.,
attends to the selling at the store
and keeps her own books. She has
only one employe, lad who delivers
the orders.
The fair knight of the saw and
cleaver is modest, unassuming lit
tie woman, 2S years of age, slightly
below the average height and with
a physique not at all notable for
robustness.
She comes of an excellent family,
has good social connections and has
had the advantage of a frst-class
education. Tact, rare administrative
powers and splendid conversational
faculty has been the main factor in
her success in this novel enterprise.
The aristocratic friends who knew
Miss Stevenson in the days when she
never gave a thought to the possibil-
ity of having to earn her own living
have not deserted her, now that
changed conditions have forced her
into business. Instead, they have raj
lied to her support, and as a conse-
quence the charming butcher not
only enjoys the patronage of the best
and wealthiest families of Rochester,
but she is also a welcome guest at
their homes.
Winter and summer she is always
to be found at the store; she herself
opens up in the morning, in winter
time at 6:30 and in summer at six
o'clock. She dons dainty white
apron, takes up her place behind the
counter and from morn till night
busies herself catering to the wants
of her various customers.
She wields a cleaver and uses a
saw and knife with all the strength
and facility of a man. In a rush it
is amusing to watch her at work.
She is full of hustle, activity and de-
cision, and every action denotes the
utmost confidence.
az suppose it is a rather unusual

BREAKFASTING IN BED.
a Practice Highly Recommended In
Many Cases of Nervous Conn
pIaint and ExhaustlOn.

When the ordinary woman tells Of
taking her breakfast in bed she tells
1t apologetically. The statement is
in the nature of a confession. And
for that reason we have come to as
sociate with the practice named
spirit of laziness.
To the woman who has her coffee
or chocolate and rolls brought to her
before she arises there is solid sat-
isfaction in the news that a good
many New York physicians are grad
ually committing themselves to the
habit. In fact, they advise break
fasting in bed in many cases of nerv-
Gus complaint.
The idea seems to be that rest is
the agency most necessary to bring
about a return of health in nervous
temperaments. The woman who
worries over her household affairs
and suddenly finds herself on the
verge of a breakdown is the woman
TO whom the rest cure is being pre-
scribed. The doctors do not tell her
to entirely discontinue her work
around the house. AS a matter of
fact, they assure her that such a
cessation would do her more harm
than good. Therefore she is advised
to ease up bit in her daily labors;
TO do greatly reduced part of her
work
In addition to this she is counseled
90 take much sleep. go to bed at
nine o'clock" say some physicians,
''and do not get up until after break
fast. Have your maid bring the break
fast tray into your bedroom; eat
grain foods and drink plenty of milk
1t is a general rule to drink three
quarts of milk day. Eat a little
meat, if you wish to, but take it in
the middle of the day, giving it plen'
ty of time to be digested. Get out
in the open air and walk about bit
but do not tire yourself by overex
ertion. Take short time off twice
day and resign yourself to rest"
This isn't very complicated pre-.
scription, but it at least has the merit
of simplicity.-Kansas City Times.

MOST PERFECT FOOD.
MIX Contains All the Ingredients
Necessary for the Well Being of
the Human Organism.

Milk is the most perfect food known,
and the only substance provided by
nature that contains all the necessary
ingredients for supplying the various
constituents required in the human or
ganism. No other single article of
food approaches it in this respect, and
upon no other substance can life be
81 aimed for so long period as upon
n, <. The first demand of the infant
is for milk, but the child is too often
brought to a realization of the deceit
fulness of human nature by being COM
PEELED to accept as a substitute a wa
tered combination which gorges the
stomach, but affords little nourish-
Nent.
Milk, to the infant, is in every re-
spect the staff of life. In old age there
is no other article of food upon which
so much reliance can be placed to sus-
tain the diminishing strength of tho
vital forces. Bread has long been re-
garded as the staff of life, but it falls
far short in fulfilling the requirements
of human economy, when compared
with milk, though it supplies many of
the demands of nutrition in pleasant
and palatable form.
The use of milk is coincident with
the earliest history of man, and for
centuries was one of the principal
articles of food. When the children of
Israel were let out of bondage in Egypt
to Canaan, "a land flowing with milk
and honey" only milk was promised:
bread was not on the bill of fare. The
use of milk as a food is universal; it
is demanded by people all over the
civilized world, therefore its care and
protection against impurities and
adulterants, by which it is accident
ally or Intentionally contamina ted, re-
quires stringent regulations on tho
part of the authorities.-N. Y. Weekly.

Misnt Occupations.

Half the world seems to have found un-
congenial occupations. Servant girls are try
ing to teach; natural teachers are tending
stores; good farmers are numbering law,
while Choates and Websters are running
down good farms; and good farmers, in
turn, are farming still in congress. Artists
are spreading daubs on canvas who should
be whitewashing board fences. Shoemakers
write good verses for the village paper and
natural statesmen are pounding shoe lasts,
while other shoemakers are cobbling in
legislative halls. Good mechanics and elec-
tricians are trying to preach sermons, and
wondering why their congregations continue
to sleep, while the Beechers are failing as

The Rehearsed wedding.

The wedding was, upon the whole, an ar
tistic success The bride, particularly,
evinced unmistakable talent. She trembled
with all the technical accuracy of an aspen
tied fawn. Her trembling indeed, was ire
proachable If she cast down her eyes with
something of amateurish gawkness the fact
is easily attributable to her ineXperience-
this being her first wedding rather than to
an essentially defective method She was
fairly well supported. The bridegroom rose
from his knees too soon and had to be
knocked down by the prompter, but other
wise the minor parts were carried credit
ably.-Detroit journal.

CARPENTERS WITHDRAW.
Will Not Longer Belong to the Build.
 Ing Trades Council.

I
 The union carpenters of the Birming- ham district have withdrawn from the Building Trades Council and that body consequently loses about fifteen hundred members.
 At meeting of the Carpenters Council the withdrawal was considered advisable. The carpenters claim that with 1146 men in the district they are carrying the prin- cipal part of the burden of the Trades Council. They do not state exactly in what way
 Following are the local unions forming the carpenters council:
 Birmingham Nos. 722 and 75. Pratt City No 615, Wylam No. 666, Ensley No. N296, Bessemer No. 454.
 In the Building Trades Council the fol- lowing organizations have had represen- tation: Carpenters, Painters, Paper Hangers, Plasterers, Timers. Stone Cut ters. Stone Masons. It has been operating with very strong arm. It has caused nearly every building of any importance that is being erected or has been erected in the last several months to use exclu- siveiy. almost, union labor.
 The carpenters action has caused con siderable talk in labor circles.

JUDGE RICHARDSON SAYS
 MEMPHIS DID HER BEST

'I think the city should be highly con- graduated for the manner in which she entertained so many persons. It must be remembered that the city has barely more than an hundred thousand inhabitants, while more than twenty-five thousand visitors were present. It could not be ex peeted that the hotels and restaurants would not be crowded.
 "I for one had everything I wanted to eat and place to sleep at very reasona- ble rates. A greater part of what I ate was at the mess hall where no charge whatever was made. say Memphis should be congratulated for the elegant manner in which she took care of so many, many visitors"
 c. M. Sturgis was among the callers at the Age-Herald office yesterday and he stated that he thought the city of Mem- phis did herself proud. He had no reason 10 complain. and thinks no one else should have had, if proper care had been taken.

The rope which will hang Frank Miller is being prepared, and yesterday 1t un- derwent the first stretching.

 In the meantime Miller is leaving no stone unturned to have the Governor ex- ercissz zclemency in his behalf, and many other persons have offered him assistance in his remarka751e struggle for mercy.
 Miller has employed detective to hunt down the ubiquitous New York Harry" and he hopes by the capture of that noted criminal to have his sentence frightened. Miller claims that New York Harry is the man who killed Officer Adams.
 Hundreds of letters have reached Gov ernor Sanford asking him to commute the sentence of Miller, and a majority of these missives are from women The Governor is taking considerable interest in the case and has asked the solicitor for more information. A full stenograph- ic report of the trials of Miller has been forwarded to the chief executive and 1t is understood that further effort will be made to prevent the communication of sem tence

MACHINHTS ARE REMAINING QUIET No Effort is Being Made to Fill Their Places in the

The situation of the strike of the Southern Railway machfnists remains unchanged. The men are quietly going about their business and remaining away from the shops. The superintendent, mas ter mechanic, and foremen are doing such repair york as they find necessary, and all is quiet.
 No attempt has been made to supplant the strikers with men who are non-union- ists, nor will there be at the present time The strikers themselves are wait ing until the International Association takes up the matter with MT Cannon and arranges the questions of difference in some way.
