LIPTON'S FAITHFUL SALESMAN.
His Presidency in Making a Sale Was
Suitably Rewarded.

Sir Thomas Upton, the famous
yachtsman. and head of what is prob
ably the largest retail provision bust
ness in Great Britain, is one of those
men who believe in personally keeping
an eye on their employees.
To this end, when in London, he oft
EN- pays surprise visit to one or an
other OF his large establishments, and
departments, noticing everything but
saying very little.
AS might be expected, among the
many thousands of men and women
whom he employs there are some who.
never having seen the head of the
firm, possess but very hazy notion
of his personal appearance.
Sir Thomas CHANGED upon one of
these week or two ago, and for
few minutes the bystanders enjoyed
little quiet fun.
This particular clerk was in charge
of one OF the cheese-counters at one of
LiptOn's huge establishments in the
city. Seeing gentleman about to
leave the shop without having made
purchase, he Immediately seized upon
the supposed customer and began to
extOl the virtues of "LiptOn's cheese"
Sir Thomas, for it was no other than
he, listened with well-cOncealed
amusement for a few moments and
even went the length of tasting sew
erai samples. Then he tried to shake
off the assistant by saying that he was
not requiring any cheese lust at pres
ent"
But the clerk was not to be got rid
Of so easily; and, before his employer
quite realized what had happened, he
had paid for pound of his own
cheese, and the assistant was inquir-
ing to what address it should be sent.
The young mans amazement, when he
realized the identity of his customer,
made his fellow assistants roar with
laughter. But few days later the
laugh was on the other side, for Sir
Thomas. ever quick to recognize and
reward merit, instructed the cashier
to give the persistent clerk substan-
tial increase in salary.-Saturday even

The new sewage disposal scheme OF
German chemist, Erich SprngbOrn,
is the conversion of the solid matter
into blocks for fuel. This fuel is re-
ported to be smOkeless and to burn
without disagreeable odOr, and the cost
of the process would be covered by the
sale of the blocks at a moderate price
for burning under steam boilers. The
sewage Is so thoroughly sterilized that
the liquid portion can be safely dis
charged into any river.
Some interesting additions to our
knowledge not only of geography but
of anthrOpolOgy, may be expected from
the expedition of w. FitZhugh White

an Englishman, into Abyssinia and the
regions Of the Upper Nile. Among the
curious places to be explored is the dis
trict of Walamo, reputed to be infested
with devils. Mr. WhitehOuse intends
to spend a month In WalamO with the
intention of discovering the reason
why the natives of the country believe
that it is possessed by demons.

An example of the dramatic effects
In which nature seems sometimes to,
indulge is furnished by Professor Hugo
De Vries' description, in a recent lee
ture on the mutation Of species, of the
appearance sometimes presented by
the large-fOwered evening primrose in
Holland. This plant was introduced
into Holland from America about
hundred years ago, and has now es-
capped from cultivation. The plant at

is thickly covered with flowers, whose
size and brilliant color attract imme

The biological stations of the New
England coast has solved the problem
of lobster culture. Several thousand
of the young fry are put into a cylin-
drical Scrim bag about three feet in
diameter and four feet deep, and the
water in the submerged bag is con.
stantly agitated by dasher driven by
a gasoline engine. This prevents the
fry from smothering or devOuring one
another, at the same time keeping their
food of soft clam fragments within
reach. In nine to sixteen days from
the eggs the creatures are able to take
care of themselves, this stage being
reached by sixteen to more than forty
per cent Of the fry. although no pre-
vious experiment had one per cent of
survivors. The fish hatcheries can
now save the lobster industry.

Birds a Necessity to Man.

Man could not live in n birdless
world A French naturalist asserts
that if all the birds in the world were
to die suddenly, human life on this
planet would become extinct in nine
years. In spite of all the sprays and
poisons which could be manufactured
to kill off destructive slugs and insects,
they would so multiply that in that
length of time they would have eaten
up all the orchards and crops in eX-
istence and man would be starved to
death. All that man does in the way
of preserving to our use the kindly
fruits of the EARTH is as nothing COM
pared with what is accomplished by
the vast army OF birds which prey
upon insect life and thus keep it down
to point which permits of the growth
of sufficient food to support human life.
Take away the birds and in nine years
not man, woman or child would be
aliye-all dead of starvation.

woman's Place in Golf.

, When women in America first began
to play golf they were allowed at many
I of the big clubs to use the links only
at certain hours ON certain days when
1t was thought that their presence
would not incommode the Lords of
Creation.
The first courses laid out in America
were very short, and consequently
easy. That of the Morris County Club,
one of the finest in the country then,
MS now, had in those days but seven
holes, and not one of them was over a
drive and iron shot in length. The
women We're erefore able to reach
them with a drive and brassey, and so
were as well off as the men, and their
scores soon began to compare very IA
vorably with those of their masculine
competitors. This was also true of
other courses and clubs, and the wom-
Ell naturally asked for the privilege of
playing at any and all hours. urging
as an excuse their ability to make low
scores.
After much hesitation and head shak-
ing on the part of those men who,
never having had sisters, had no idea
of the physical capabilities Of girl
permission was granted.
The women took their hardly won
permission with joy, and proceeded
to demonstrate that they could play
good golf by taking on their detractors
for round and soundly beating them
From that day women have had an un-
disputed place on the links, and for the
past three or four years it has been es-
teemed an honor for even the amateur
champion to be asked to play in a
mixed foursome by any one of dozen
of our lending women players.-Golf.

The Ambitious Hatpin.

A plain hatpin is uncommon nova
days, although the jeweled ones cost a
pretty penny. Those formed with
thick gold twisted tops, with a dia-
mond or pearl in the centre, are al
ways in good taste, and not likely to
clash with any of the hat trimmings,
or a crystal ball, covered with a trellis-
work OF jewels, is favorite design.
Many a pretty hatpin may be made
out of those old earrings which most
people are burdened with and regard
only as superhuity; small canoes
set in gold, onyx, or comedians only
require a strong pin attached to them
to turn them into useful as well as or
namental hatpins. A set of silver or
antique buttons is another gift which
is fashionable this year, the more
unique and old the specimen the better.

About all our palms require is that
all dust be kept off the foliage. This
is of the utmost Importance, as palms
positively refuse to do well otherwise.
See that they have moisture supplied
to the roots as needed, which in spring
and summer should be about every
day. In fall and winter they require
only moderate watering. They can
be grown from seed, but it is slow
work, and it is better to get those
already started. The scale insect is
their worst enemy. A wash Of dilute
alcohol will kill it, but must be washed
off well afterward. A wash of weak
lye soap is the best preventive, but,
like the alcohol, must be rinsed off well
at once. Go all over the plant and
leave no spot untouched with the soap.
Palms should have soil composed
of good garden soil, leaf mold, rotted
cow manure and sand, one-half of
garden soil, and the other half equal
parts of the rest. The roots grow
downward, consequently they require
a deep pot Put in poss just large
enough to supply their wants, make
the soil light and firm, arrange for
good drainage, and place the crown
so it will be just above the soil.-Mrs.

kDAPTABlLITY OF CHIFFON.
Ut is Favorite Fabric of the Fashion
able Woman.

Without chiffon woman, setting
foot into the fashionable world of 1902,
would be in despair.
There is no one fabric so much in ev-
idence, no one material so much need
ed in the schemes of dress, no one stuff
half as becoming.
Without chiffon the robes of 1902
would be robbed of their gauziness,
and the general effect of the lightness
would be gone.
Chiffon is seen both winter and sum-
mer and has been called the connect
ing link between these two extremes
, Of season. On Fourth of July woman
wells herself in it and makes her stock
of 1t; in mid-winter her gown is
trimmed with it and her bodice is fash
ioned entirely of it. Her fur coat is
decorated with it, and her Innings par
take of it's puffings. while her under
skirts rejoice in its shirrings.
Chiffon means more to-day TO the
woman of fashion than it ever did be-
fore, and the prophets say that it will
continue to increase in meaning and
in fashionable growth.
The new uses to which 1t is put are
too many to be mentioned and too va
ried to allow of description. AS a veil
ing 1t now comes in dotted form, the
dots of different colors on the opposite
sides. If this very French form of
yelling cannot be purchased ready
made a woman dots it herself, using a
fine needle and much patience.
A Queen Louise stock is another ar
ticle of chiffon which she wears. This
is long veil coming from the back of
the winter hat often from the back of
fur hat, falling right out from under
much tailed animal, and this she
twists around her neck many times un-
til it form a stock. The two ends are
COW allowed to hang down the front in
stole fashion, and, of course, these
ends are embroidered.
But this is not all the ways of chif-
fon. As bodice stuff it Is so much
seen that to attempt to tell Of new
ways of treatment opens up field in
exhaustive. But there is a chiffon bod
Zee that may be new. 1t is made upon
n foundation, for chiffon is too sheer
to go alone, and it is shirred every
inch, to make inch wide puffs. These
are attached to the under part or lin
ing until a waist is formed-an entire
shirt waist. all little soft chiffon puffs.
