BUTCHERS ARE IMMUNE.
Meat Dealers, 1t Is Said, Never Die
of Consumption.

Butchers never die of consumption"
welding the cleaver at the block, said
this as he threw n teefsteak on the
scale.
1t sounded more like trade supersti-
ton than a fact but so far as diligent
inquiry has been able to discover it is
true, although not generally known
outside of the meat chopping craft.
Butchers are no longer lived than
men in other walks of life. They are
subject to all the other Ills that human
flesh is heir to, but consumption they
do not have. So far as q reporter was
able to learn not single case is on
record of a butcher in this city being
afflicted with the incurable wasting of
the lungs which claims its hundreds of
thousands of victims annually.
The fact is well known among butch
ers and has been often the subject of
their comment, although none Of them
can give reason for it.
NO" said n man who has swung
sides and rounds in Washington mar
ket for the last 20 years; 81 have had
rheumatism and typhoid fever and lots
of other things, but nothing has ever
been out Of gear with my lungs, and
the same is true of every other butcher
in this town. l know nearly all of
them. and l never heard of one of them
having consumption. They don't drink
blood or take any especially good care
Of themselves either 1 don't know
why it should be so unless it's because
the continual inhaling of an atmos-
phere Of fresh meat is strengthening.
Il have often thought when hearing
, of consumptives going to Colorado and
Egypt that l know of n climate nearer
home that would do the business Just
as well. If they would stay in this stall
for awhile and swing meat, they would
get we'll quite as quickly as they would
on the top of Pixies peak."-New York

A SWARM CATCHER.

graph wire is about right. Next take
piece Of burlap and sew into bag
shape, then sew the wire ring into the
mouth of the bag and fasten it into the
crotched stick so 1t will swivel, and the
device is ready for use. 1t is well to
have on hand one or two poles of differ
ent lengths and two short straps with
which 70 unite them.
This device will reach a swarm 80
feet from the ground. The great fea-
ture of it is its lightness, and no matter
at what angle the pole is held the bag
is always perpendicular. To hive a
swarm whose queen is at large with
the bees, bring the swarm catcher
right up under the cluster and give 1t
sharp jerk upward and the cluster
will drop from the limb right into the
mouth of the catcher. Carry to the
hive and turn the bag inside out, and
the bees will drop in front Of the hive
and run into it

DOGS.

There are nearly 200 distinct varieties
Of dogs.
Foxhounds give cry, but deerhounds
hunt in silence.
The greyhound is the only dog which
hunts by sight
y pure bred staghound never attacks
the head of his quarry.
Only in the temperate zone is the dog
found perfect in courage and speed.
The italian greyhound is reputed to
be the most Symmetrical of all animals.
Skye terriers have been known to
jump into the river and land hooked
fish, which they take carefully by the
back.
Eskimo dogs are capable of drawing
a well laden sledge GO miles in a day.
Their harness is of the lghtest, only a
single trace and no reins.

FOR SMALL INVESTORS.
Patience and Push the Sure Way to
Profitable Poultry Business.

Poultry and egg raising is eminently
adapted to the person with small capt.
tai who is anxious that the investment
pay without running too great risk.
One may begin in the most humble
way in poultry raising, and then gradu-
ally increase the size of the plant as
conditions warrant. 1t is really case
OF learning n business while slowly in
vestlng capital in it. And this Is roolly
the best and most sensible way of APP
preaching the business. TO start in
with all the capital invested at first,
and then learn later by bitter expert
ence, is just the way to get discour-
aged and find that there is no monV
in the business.
With the smallest amount of capital
one can go into the business. especially
If there is n suitable place at hand for
the work. one can rent a small poul-
try farm and then learn by experience,
even raising fruits and vegetables the
first few years to help pay the expenses
of living. Ultimately, however. the
ambition should be placed on chicken
and egg raising for the purpose of mas
tering it as a speciality
Let one begin with 80 hens and find
out thu first season what can be done
with that number From this stock he
can prepare his next seasons Increase
without further calling upon his capt.
tai. BY method of exchange of eggs
with neighbors near or distant new
blood can be introduced, and there will
not be much danger of close inbreeding.
In many places there is a regular
system of exchange of eggs in this way,
and at very little expense new breeds
are constantly being added. From the
so hens of the first season the flock
can be increased to 200 for the second.
If you have been successful with the
80, you are probably prepared the sec
ond year to handle 200, especially If
proper houses and yards have been pre-
pared in advance. That Is very essen
tial, and throughout the whole devel-
opment of the business never neglect
to increase the quarters of the hens
and chickens in proportion to their in
crease in numbers.
With plenty of accommodation and
fair success the second year the begin
ner might we'll increase his stock to
900 for the third year. The fourth
year he might go up to 700 or 500 and
the fifth season round out the business
with an even 1000. When you have
reached that number, the plant is a
pretty good sized one, and its further
Increase must be made gradually. There
are poultry farms of 5000 and 10000
hens. but the owners have learned by
careful experience how to handle such
numbers in the most economical way
Any beginner, of course, can grow uI
to such proportions if he has the push
and 60 and the good business common
sense which enables him to raise an6

knmr Banking.

The Kaffirs have a simple method Of
banking. Before setting out to trade
they select one Of their number as
their banker and put all their money
in his bag. When an article is pur-
chased by any Of those who are in
this combine, the price is taken by the
banker from the bag, counted several
times and then paid to the seller after
which all the bank depostors cry out
to the banker in the presence of two
witnesses selected. you owe me so
MUCH" This is then repeated by the
witnesses. The general accounting
comes between the banker and his sew
eral depostors when all the purchases
have been made, after which all the
natives go home.

The Passions.

We say of a man who has no will
mastery. HE is ruled by his passions"
They govern him, not he them. Centu-
ries ago an Arab wrote, Passion is a
tyrant which Stays those whom it gov
ems" 1t is like fire. which once thor
oughly kindled can scarcely be quench-
ed. or like the torrent, which when 1t Is
swollen can no longer be restrained
with its banks. Call him not a prisoner
who has been put in letters by his en-
envy, but rather him whose own pas
sions overpower him to destruction.

The old theory that woman is mans
helper seems incorrigibly well founded.
says f. S. Martin in NcClure's Maya
zine. If the situation isn't satisfactory
to her, there is no help for it, for the
conditions it came out of seem to be
eternal. Women may vote They will
be none the less mans helpers if they
do. They never will band together to
put man down and teach him his place
They will push him ahead II they can,
they will pull him along when they
must, they will influence him enor-
mously, as they always have done, but
they will never conspire together on
any very great scale to make him play
second fiddle. Some one has got to be
master. Women in general will never
agree to have women bosses so long as
there are competent men for that use.

FARM AND GARDEN.


The momentous question, so frequently
discussed at present, of introducing agrl-
cultural education into the schools OF the
rural districts should surely be con-
sidered from this rational point OF view.
Teachers and scholars cannot by magic be
turned into agriculturists, botanists, en-
tomologists, etc. They must begin al the
foot of the ladder and study nature In
the fundamental principles OF nature
economy in every branch OF their future
occupation as intelligent agriculturists,
fruit growers and florists. Any attempt
10 observe the plain pathway by dabbling
ln details, sure to occupy their attention
later on in active life, is truly hard to
comphrehend when measured from a
rational point of view. Take for illustra.
ton the science of botany. Ii presents
the plant in all Its endless diversity of
form, around which scientists have
woven an endless net of explanation and
Latin Technology. On the other hand,
il presents one plant as living, growing
being in which the tiler of the soil OF
Mother Earth is primarily Interested.
Ac0uaint the child in school with the
economy of nature relative to the
organism, life and well being of plants,
and YOU Law the sure foundation of an

the plants of culture and subsis-
tence of mankind, of commerce and of
supply of human wants. In general. tell
him of the necessity of forests and OF
