One Mans Strange Mission at Kansas
City's Produce Market.

From the Kansas City Journal.
J. C. Goreman of Germantown. Philadel-
phia, who has been at the Centropolis a
week, went home yesterday evening after
signing about the queerest lot of contracts
ever made In Kansas City. They were all
with small produce dealers and each called
for such quantities as could be obtained
of the right sort of-rabbits' feet! Peculiar
ly, these must all be the left hind feet.
Goreman says that he represents Ger
mantown maker of novelties. and that the
feet are to be made up into charms of good
luck AS anyone knows. there is a charm
dwelling In the left hind foot OF a rabbit
killed In a graveyard when the moon looks
over the left shoulder Of the killer, and
every negro holds such am amulet in great
reverence. or course, Goreman has no way
Of telling how or when his rabbits are to
be killed. but he can, when Christmas
comes, show as good a line of left hind
feet as any darby will ask to see. and they
will sell like Wildflre.
I'VE are about the only concern in Amer
lea, and perhaps the world, In this line of
business" said Goreman. I'VE make thou
sands of these trinkets year, and you
would be surprised to know what a trade
there is on them. We pay five cents a dozen
for the feet and all expressage. We can
scarcely get enough They are popular for
are given away at Christmas time. and big
conventions have developed fad for them
among those who present souvenirs to dele
gates. AS consequence we. cannot get
enough feet In the east, and we have had
to come west for them. ! toured the west

NAMES OF DISEASES.
By Knowing the Right Ones, Trouble
is Sometimes Averted.

From the Youths Companion.
One Of the first essentials In the study OF
any science Is a definite Omenclature-the
fixing Of one name to one 3thing-for with
out that there can be no common ground OF
discussion, and the words OF a writer may
convey a wrong impression and give rise to
erroneous ideas. the opposite. perhaps. OF
what was intended. 2n
Unfortunately, definiteness In names ID
conspicuously lacking In medical science.
and not only In the popular names of dis
eases, but even in the fterms employed py
physicians themselves The confusion or
speech Is particularly unfortunate In meol-
cine. for 1t may be the OCCASION OF very
serious errors. For example. motner
hears that q neighbours child has mem
branous sore throat. That, seems simple
little thing, and she takes no care 10 keep
her own child away from the neighbors
house The neighbors themselves are NOT
alarmed, but even let the little visitor int
the sick room. If the doctor had not EN-
ployed euphemism, but had called tho
,membranous sore throat diptheria, every
one would have known the gravity OF the
case and other children would not have been
needlessly exposed.
Much misunderstanding results from the
loose use of the word typhoid. It really
means resembling typhus, and SO the
term was attached to fever some OF the
symptoms Of which resemble those or
typhus fever. But 1t Is applied also In the
form Of an adjective to other conditions ana
diseases. Thus. the typhoid state ID g
condition of extreme weakness. with tempo
rary mental clouding, such as one sees IN
the third or fourth week Of q severe typhoid
fever. In the same way the term typhoid

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
A Timely Warning on Some of
Its Dangers.

During the season Of Christmas shopping great
care should be taken not to unnecessarily expose
yourself to colds that likely to result In grip
and pneumonia The excitement Of the day ID
quite likely to cause you to overlook the sudden
change from hot to cold. coming from the close
and suocating air Of the big stores to the street.
Then there 10 great danger from disease germs
where SO many people are gathered in close quar-
.ers
Doctors declare that this Is one explanation for
the annual increase Of sickness at this season.
While this article Is written to again cali your
attention TO the value of Father Johns Medicine
in curing and preventing colds, grip and pneumonia

gers we have pointed out They are real dangers.
And II we cause you to avoid the patent medi-

last fall and found Kansas City was the
rabbit market. Of the United States. So
have been here week closing contracts
for the feet.
II do not know why the charm attaches
to the left hind foot of a cottontail. but I
do know that the negro will take no other.
He has way of telling them, too: we
made up lot OF all four feet year before
last and we had to sell them at cost to a
badgemaker because they were no good to
the street fakir. who sells most of them
in the holidays. The negroes of the south
are big customers for them and they re-
jected every one that was not a genuine
left hind foot. It was too costly. This year
I am up on feet and won't have any but
a left hind foot"

Save Your Typewriter Ribbons.

From the New York Press.
Don't throw away old. worn-out type
writer ribbons. This is the advice of a
veteran stenographer in downtown office.
.Oid ribbons make the best ink In the
world" he said. After one has been so
badly worn that the keys make but faint
impression on the paper the cloth still con-
tains enough coloring matter to make a
pint of high-grade ink. Take the ribbon
and put 1t In a Jar containing about pint
of cold water. Let it stand there for three
DAYS. stirring it around once in while.
The result will be better Ink than You can
buy for twenty-five cents a pint.
''The best of Ink is used on typewriter
ribbons It practically is indeliible when
used with the pen. Moreover. there Is no
sediment in it, Most inks are not solutions.
as many persons think. The coloring mat
ter is simply held In suspension. In good
inks this matter stays evenly distributed
throughout the liquid. In the poor inks II
sinks to the bottom, and you have gum
my deposit at the bottom of the well.
Black ribbons are always the most availa-
Bile for making ink in this fashion, as most
persons object to using blue and purple
inks"

RAISING SQUADS FOR MARKET.
Demand Has Given Rise to Quite an
Important Industry.

-
From Outdoors.
Up to very few years ago pigeon raising
was considered boys sport only, but their
interesting ways. the fascination of breed
ing them for the show pen and the demand
for squads by hotels and restaurants
prompted a few men to take them up as
recreation or business, and the success of
these few caused others to join them until
now it has become quite large industry
We will first take up the breeding Of pig
cons for SQUAD selling
There Is only one variety of pigeons used
are worth nothing for the show pen, but are
very prolific, each pair rearing eight or
nine pairs of squads a year. 1t takes squads
but one month to mature, that is, they are
full grown and ready for market one month
from Matching. The old birds have made
their second nest and laid their eggs before
the last young ones are grown. 1t takes the
eggs eighteen days to hatch so that about
every month and half there is a pair of
The principal food for pigeons is wheat,
though a little cracked corn with this is
good for them.
Cleanliness and system mean success
with squads and though much Is said to the
contrary they require considerable care In
order to get the very best results They
do well in nearly any climate, though a
place where the winters short and not
severe is the best. The southern states and
California are the best suited for this in
dustry, and they contain many farms which

Patent Leather Out of Fashion.

From the Haberdasher.
Patent leather has fallen into disfavor
among men who have the means and In
clination to follow the mode through all
its whimsical windings The indiscriminate
use of this leather for business boots and
even for strictly neglige boots has vulgar
lied 1t to such degree that IT Is now
tabooed. except for dancing pumps In
place OF patent Les Their boots are worn oiled
calfskin boots, which take a bright polish
akin to that of patent leather. The leather
is a peculiar grain, midway between enamel
and calfskin. and while very smart looking,
IT hasn't the plebeian glitter of patent
leather, which is distasteful to many men.
Really. II is just calfskin subjected to q
special process.

pneumonia Is sometimes employed to destg-
nate a pneumonia In which the patient Is
overcome by the poison of the disease and
has fallen into the typhoid state" but 1t
does not imply mixture of typhoid fever
and pneumonia as IL popularity believed.
Inflammation of the lungs and lung fever
are popular expressions meaning pneu-
monia, but the term pneumonia itself Is APP
piled to several entirely distinct Diseases OF
the lungs.
Scarlatina Ia another name for scarlet
fever. and 1t does not signify q mild form
of the disease. varioloid also Is real small
pox, only In mild form, and varfoloid pa
uent may give smallpox in most virulent
form to an unprotected person.
All this goes to show that Diseases like
other things, should be called by their right
names

Forcing Plants to Bloom.
From the London Globe.

From the London Gl0be
The method OF forcing flowers by putting
the plants, for example. lilacs. under chic
roform-or ether for q time to arrest the
sap. and then placing them In q hot house
to bloom, Ii coming into use in Germany,
and q French grower. NJ. Aynard of Mount
pellier has made q striking experiment
which proves its efficacy. A budding lilac
was put under fumes OF ether. with the ex-
ception of some boughs protected by glass
tubes from the anaesthetic. On placing It
in the forcing house 1t soon burst into
bloom, all but the protected boughs, which
remained in the bud. The experiment can
be made with budding twigs of the willow
cut from the tree and kept In water.
Etherized twigs produce catskins. while the
others continue in the bud.
