Makes Reccmme endations.

In conclusion the health officer recon-
mends system of medical inspection in the
public schools, municipal bath houses and
an inspection of barber shops. In regard to
reclaiming the Anacostia flats he says:
THE intimate connection between ma
larial diseases and swamps has long been
recognized so positively that the estab-
lishment of the mosquito, a product of
stagnant water, as the carrier Of such dis
eases merely reinforced the arguments al
ready advanced for the reclamation of the
Anacostia flats as a sanitary measure. Re-
cent experiments have, however, shown
that the mosquito is responsible for the
spread of yellow fever also. While the
community has hitherto been spared the
ravages OF that disease, there is none the
less reason why the breeding places of the
mosquito should not be done away with as
far as practicable before it's possible in
vasion, so that If 1t ever finds entrance the
community will be protected far as
possible. Not only have old arguments for
the reclamation Of the Anacostia fats re-
ceIved new force, but an additional argu-
nent of considerably independent weight
has been established. For sanitary reasons.
therefore, this Improvement should be un-
dertaken at the earliest possible moment"

TO CHANGE A QUARTER.
1t Requires Seventy Cents and
Thirty-TwO Coins to Accommo-
date q Person All Ways.

"How much does it take to change
a quarter?" asked the bartender.
twenty-five cents, eh? Not on your
life. 1t takes 10 cents to do the
trick. How many ways do you sup
pose quarter dollar can be changed?
Just exactly II. A fellow of limited
means may like the jingle of coin
in his clothes. In that event you
can give him rs pennies, or 20 pennies
and one nickel, supposing he want,
to get beer. He may like to have
little sprinkling of silver in his
clothes, and you can accommodate
him with Is pennies and dime, or
ten pennies, a dime and nickel. If
he prefers to have change handy for
a beer and car fare, why. Is pennies
and two nickels will fix him up; and
il he wants cigar in addition, be-
sides having a little stock of cash in
his jeans, give him ten pennies and
three nickels. That makes six ways.
Now, then, fellow with a quarter
can trade it off for five pennies and
two dimes, five pennies and four
nickels, two dimes and one nickel,
one dime and three nickels, or Ave
nickels, just as he prefers. And to
accommodate him in any way he
might select, you have to possess rs
pennies, two dimes and Ave nickels

GARDENING ON THE YUKON.
Report by Prof. Georreson to the
Agricultural Department Ii De-
cidcdIy EncOuraginx,

A report has been received at the
department of agriculture from Prof.
c. c. Georgeson, officer in charge of
the Alaska experimenting stations,
on the outlook for gardening and
agriculture in the cold interior re-
gion of Alaska along the Yukon. Its
general tone is decidedly encourag-
ing. Prof. Georgeson spent the SUM
mer in the interior and visited the
experiment station established year
ago at Rampant, which is just out
side the arctic circle, and such other
places as were selected for depart-
ment experiments. In spite Of an
unusually late season there were
ready by the middle of August new
potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, beets
and other vegetables while lettuce,
radishes and turnips, grown in the
open air, had been in use some
weeks. Flower seed furnished last
year had bloomed in large variety
of ANIMALS. Rye, seeded the previous
fall at Rampant, had wintered per.
fectly and was fully ripe in July.
spring-seeded barley had ripened
about the middle of August. The
prospect for oats and wheat to ma.
ture was most favorable. On the
lower Yukon extensive areas of ex.
cellent land were found where there
was an abundant and often luxurant
growth of grasses over six feet in
height. Abundant moisture and long
summer days account for the sur.
prising vegetable growth in that seq
tion of the far north.

WOMEN OF RANK IN TRADE.
Many Aenbers Of the EaSlish Aris.
tocracy Are Earning Their
Pin Money.

The prejudice that for SO long exist.
ed among the English aristocracy
against those people of quality who
engaged in trade has been disappear
ing OF late years, and there are now
numbers Of women Of patrician birth
who are following divers mercantile
occupations. Their former associates
feel the blue blood tingle in their veins
as they whisper to each other the
astounding news, but they dare not re-
fuse them the recognition due their
rank, for the social position of those
making this innovation is unassail-
able.
The thing started with the tearooms.
A woman who had more title than
money dared and did. She opened one
ana it was success. Others who were
Is much in need of pecuniary returns
took heart and followed her example.
Now there are a number of London's
first-class tearooms which are doing o
brisk business under the supervision
OF the ladies of quality who run them.
But more than this, there is ladies'
shrtmaker's firm in London, the mems
bers of which are all women of birth
and position. Their shirt waists have
made great hit. They fit SO well that
the firm is swamped with orders.
Another woman, Miss CockereIl,
whose engagement is announced to
the son of Lady Auguset Noel, has been
in the jewelry bus sness. She has made
a reputation for her necklaces and
chains OF uncut stones. Half the
smart set Of London thronged her
atelier at Albert hall mansions, South
hensington, with commissions.

THE CORRECT WAY.
How the Name Of Our New President
Should Be Pronounced Accord.
Ing to Himself.

No name in America is SO commonly
mispronounced as that of our pres
ident. 1t is Roosefelt, Rozyeldt,
Roozeyfelt, or Rozzyvelt, whichever
way one turns. Those anxious to be
right quiz the newspapers or write to
friends or to Washington.
President Roosevelt, more than two
years ago, determined the correct pro-
nunciation Of his name for the general
public, in an interview published in the
Chicago Times-Herad. On June 25,
1899, he was en- route to Las Vegas,
New Mexico, to attend reunion of his
regiment of rough riders Some ques-
ton came up on his special train as TO
how his name should be pronounced,
IL pronounced correctly. He settled
the dispute by saying:
"Pronounce it as il 1t were spelt
Ros.y-yelt, word of three sylables.
That is the only way to pronounce it,"
He pronounces the first syllable as
II it were spelt "Rose,' and having
that the rest is very simple. This
ought to settle all questions about the
pronunciation and cure those who in
sist on saying "Roos-eevelt."

! JAIL USED AS RESERVOIR.
Nevada Town Has Utilised the wallis
of the State Prison as . F0un-
tain Of Health.

Some years ago the state of Ne
vada had need of prison, and for
that matter it has great need Of it
now. But at that time the -pecessity
was deemed SO great that the legis-
lature made an appropriation for the
construction of place at Reno,
where dangerous characters might
be kept in restraint. The walls were
built good and strong. They were
thick and high, for they were intend
ed to prevent any possibility of es-
cape by the craftiest Of convicts. The
work was finished in due season, but
exigencies had arisen since the be-
ginning that made it seem desirable
to contine the prisoners elsewhere.
So the walls were never used, al
though $11s,00O OF hard cash had
been spent on them. There they
stood, year after year, as useless as
Q barren fruit tree.
Not long ago DR.. Patterson, SUPER
.intendent Of the Nevada insane asy-
lum, an institution not far from the
uAuseu "dhss h&uiSu 'lae 'h@S
would hold water. He consulted
with others, and the result is that
the stockade, instead of being cor
raj for prisoners, has become fOun-
tain of health, of comfort, almost of
life, for DR.. Patterson and the unfor-
tunates under his care. More than
this. As the walls are 20 feet high
and only six feet are needed for
reservoir purposes, the rest is being
torn away and the material used for
repairs and new buildings at the
state university and the asylum. If
this isn't gathering figs from thistles
1t comes about as close to 1t as any
thing that has come under observa-
tion in recent years.

Fair Exchange, Yet . Robbery.
While Gustaye Dore was at Ischl and


While Gustave Dore was at Ischl and
wandering about the mountains he be-
came much interested in country
wedding and sketched it on the spot.
He put the sketch into book In the
pocket of his paletot and went back to
the hotel to dinner. After dinner he
looked for the sketch. 1t was gone.
Angry at the theft, the artist called
the landlord and made complaint, but
no trace Of the book was found. From
Ischl Dore went to Vienna, and there
lrp found letter and parcel awaiting
him. The letter, which was anony-
nous. read thus:
"Sir, stole your book at Ischl. The
sketch was SO charming that l could
not resist the temptation Of having 1t
In my possession, and knew very well
you would never consent to sell 1t to
me. But theft is neither my trade nor
my habit, and beg you to accept as
souvenir Of my crime and my enthusi-
asm for your talent the walking stick
which will reach you at the same time
as this letter."
The cane was one with massive
gold head In which was set gem Of
value.-Youth's Companion.

A DRIED CUP OF COFFEE.
PreparatiOns Now Being Manufac.
tured Which Serve as Substitutes
for Various Beverages.

For soldiers use, and for employ
ment under circumstances where
fresh milk, coffee and chocolate are
not easily obtainable, dried prepara-
tion is now being manufactured which
serves excellently as substitute, says
the Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post.
SKINNED milk is eyaporated by the
help of an air blast to the condition
of a paste, and, after being dried, is
reduced to powder by grinding. Then
it is mixed with powdered chocolate,
half and half, and is either put up as
dust or compressed into cakes. When
wanted, water is added. the resulting
fluid is boiled, and all that is needed
is little sugar.
There are several varieties of this
peculiar kind of food mixture. Cocoa
(the roasted and ground chocolate
bean deprived of faD may be substi-
tuted for the chocolate, or coffee may
be employed instead. II coffee is util-
ized, only one-fourth of dried milk is
put with it. In any case the ingre-
dents are powdered separately and
then mixed.
In dry state the mixtures of milk
and chocolate are pleasant to the taste
and highly digestible, affording an ad-
mirable condensed food.
One advantage of this kind of food
is that 1t is cheap, the skinned milk
being almost waste product. 1t is
composed mainly of the "proteids," or
fesh-forming ingredients, Of the milk
and cocoa or coffee beans, with enough
fat and starch to make 1t q well-bal-
anced ration. If desired, the requisite
sugar may be introduced into the orig
inal yriytura

An Odd Pjv Pen,

A Canadian farmer had on his land
a very deep hole, IL inches wide, re.
sulting from an unsuccessful attempt
to form an oil we'll. -Four little pigs
belonging to the farmer tumbled into
this hole, probably in search of food,
and fell As feet to the bottom where
a little cave had been formed by the
caving in of some sand from the
sides. The farmer dropped corn into
the hole every day for month,
knowing the pigs were alive from
hearing contented grunts ascending
from below ground. At last he had
the hole widened, and descending by
the aid of strong rope, he rescued
two piggies from their strange
prison. The other two were dead.

Ten minutes afterward, however, he
went out to feast his eyes again upon
the spectacle of the family clothes

lying prone across the onion bed.
