Lavish Young Vanderbilt.

Young Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt
spends money with q hand almost as
lavish as that of the mobiles Of the Ro-
man decadence. On a recent record
breaking coaching trip that he made
from New York to this city he had his
own photographers youth. in an odd
gray hat-along with him, and he and
his equipage were photographed be-
sides by newspaper men at every stop
that was made along the line. Imme-
diately after the trip Mr.. Vanderbilt
requested a firm Of advertising solicit
tors in New York to ascertain the
names Of all the newspaper men who
had photographed him, to obtain from
these men prints Of all the negatives
which they had made, and then to or
der three dozen mounted pictures from
each negative that was good. A pho
tographer Of this city who had made
three negatives got an order from the
firm of solicitors for nine dozen pic
lures at Sc a dozen. One days work
filled the order, and he earned that day
$54. He says there were at least sew
enty-f1ve pictures made Of Mr.. Wander
bile on his trip, and at least fifty OF
these were good. Therefore he esti-
mates that, what with the bill Of the
advertising solicitors, this great order
ing Of photographs by the young mil
lionaire has cost him fully $1,000

Sclentist's simple E~xplanatioa OF Causes
and Effects Of Plague.
The plague OF to-day is the lineal de.
scendant Of. that which was cleared
away from London by the great fire. It
represents n of many epidemics
which history teaches us devastated
Europe during past ages; pests, these.
abolished by the disappearance Of the
dirt which forms their soil and breed
ing place. We know the germ Of the
plague. It was discovered by Kitasato
in 1894, and independently in the same
year by Yersin. whose protective Sc
rum is used as a preventive. The germ
is a somewhat shortened and rounded
bacillus, that flourishes at a tempera-
ture approaching that Of the blood.
Apparently the germ does not multiply
by giving. off spores" OF seedlike
bodies, but by simple division OF the
parent germs into others. It Is easily
killed. A temperature Of PIP degrees
Fahrenheit destroys it quickly, and
acids also act efficiently in this direc-
ton. Yersin found the plague germ
living in the soil in affected places. In
the earth 1t appears to be non-virulent.
but placed in another environment,
say the animal body, it speedily devel-
ops into disease-producing powers.
Cows, sheep, pigs. cats, and. of course.
rats, are affected by 1t, but the dog Is
said to enjoy an immunity from the
attentions of this bacillus. Gaining &C
cess to the body, through the skin for
the most part, and probably through
some abrasion or wound, the bacilli
make for the glands, and as these swell
an enlarge, constituting what doctors
call "buboes," the disease has become
known as the "bubonic plague" The
fieas which infest the rat r also cred
tied with a share in the diffusion Of the
ailment, for, charged with the mi
crobes, these parasites will infect other
rats, or may possibly inoculate man.
Hence the crusade against rats which
has been ordered and advised. It may
be added that in one form Of the
plague the lungs are liable to be spe-
cially involved, and the coughed-up
matter in that case is highly infec-
tious.--London Chronicle.

Poultry Hou.. Floors.

From Farmers Review: I prefer a
ground floor every time. al a board
floor has many disadvantages that a
ground floor has not. First, a board
floor is harder to clean when the ex-
crements are dried on same than a
ground floor. Also rats and other YER
min find a place to harbor under a
board floor which they cannot'do on a
ground floor. In addition, the birds
flying from their perches hurt them
selves oftener by alighting on board
floors. This is especially SO with the
larger Breeds. In building a poultry
house the walls should be of stone
or brick and let into the ground SUI
f1ciently deep to prevent rats and the
like from working through under them.
The poultry house should be filled In
with earth at least six or eight inches
above the outside ground, 80 that no
water will soak into it in the spring
and when it rains. Such a ground
floor is dry and easy to clean and is
natures floor for the fowls. Just
imagine a hungry lot of fowls scratch
ing for their breakfast on a board floor.
even If it is we'll Uttered with straw;
it seems they. would almost tear OF
their talons. 1 have discarded board
floors altogether, and do not see a sin
gle reason why ! should go back to
them. My three poultry houses have
ground floors, as has also my brooder
house, which is 20x80 feet, and I would
not take a board floor in any Of them
as a gift.-Lewis Schmertman, Steph-
enson, County, Illinois.

Buying of Cattle Feeds.

The prices for grain and feeding
stuffs which are now ruling are SO high
that 1t behooves the buyer more than
ever to study the fitness Of the sundry
materials offered for cattle feeding pur-
poses, says q communication from the
Vermont Experiment Station. Meals
and feeds of all sorts are offered, some
good and some bad. Their market
prices often show no relationship
whatever to fitness; hence the need Of
looking beyond the mere matter OF
cost
The state feeding stuffs inspection
Of the past two years has served to
point out more clearly to the retail
dealer as we'll as to the consumer the
distinction between good and bad
feeds. The Vermont Experiment Sta
ton is now about to issue a bulletin
showing the character Of the goods on
sale last spring. The standard by
products were found to run about as
usual. The guarantees made by
the manufacturers as to their quail
ity were commonly upheld; but there
were a few cases Of serious. adultera-
ton. intentional or accidental.
The Mayflower linseed meal contain
ed but little more than one-half Of the
protein which this class of goods
should contain; a few samples Of mixed
wheat feed were found to be adulter-
ated; and there were several oat feeds
Zone Of which was boldly called
ground oats') which were Of ex-
tremely low grade. One brand Of oat
feed analysed at the station this fall
contained even less protein than does
oat hulls. It would appear that in this
case the great feed adllterant itself
had been adulterated.

SPRING GREETING.
ARTISTIC DECORATION.

The artistic decoration of the home
is not so much matter of money as
1t is OF taste. A person of good taste
in the selection and arrangement of
decorations can produce ar tiStic effects
with a small outlay of money, while
lavish expenditure by one who lacks
taste would fail completely.
The artistic value Of an article is to
often measured by its cost. Articles
need not be expensive to be beautiful,
An inexpensive reproduction of q
poble painting or piece of sculpture
is more truly artistic than thousands
of mediocre originals costing many
times as much.
1t is the growing appreciation of
these facts which has prompted me
to bring before and introduce to my
patrons many beautiful articles Of
Art, at a price that brings them
within the reach of people Of mode
rate incomes, but not until my col
lectiG, had been offered, had any
systema--- attempt been made to
reach the people generally. In select
ing my goods used the greatest care
to select only the most artistic at the
lowest possible price.
My line of Watches, Clocks, Jewel
ry and SilVer-Wear are at present the
finest, best selected and most reason
able in price have ever before shown.
