 Good I0saSinafiosa

T saw a remarkable instance of the influence of mind and imagination over the senses few evenings ago." said a clubman the other night. "A bowl ing. match was in progress, and the team on whose alleys the game was being rolled, as the hosts of the occa- sion, had provided some extra good cigars for the visiting team-half a dollar apiece. One of the fellows took a cigar, looked at the band on it and then, realizing what delicious smoke he had in store, began to indulge in the delights of anticipation. He put the cigar in his mouth, but did not light it at once. Presently his turn came to bowl. He took the cigar from his mouth and placed it on the window ledge. '... .-c..
 While he was occupied with his bowling one of the boys replaced his cigar by a five cepter,' taking off the band from the good cigar and putting it on the cheap one Meanwhile the bowler, having finished his trials, turn ed with great gusto to light his cigar. The first few puffs brought forth sev- eral Ans? of delight.
 "'Ffne smoke, boys, delicious! he ex. claimed. I tell you. haven't had as good smoke for don't know how long. An! I wish I could affond to smoke cigars like this all the time certainly can tell the difference be- tween poor, cheap cigar and a good one I'd rather smoke Porto Rican cigar than the i've cent domestic ones In fact, I. can't stand 'em--make me sick, you know, in no time at all. But a cigar like this-well, sayv
 "When he had smoked it down till it burned his lips the boys told him the facts of the case.
 T guess the cigars are on me- he remarked sadly, but not fifty cent ones. You've taught me a good lesson. Let's strike a happy medium and say two for quarter. They're good enough for anybody "-New York Times

Tn the tomato season we find it an excellent plan to fiji a number of quart cans with the fruit which has been thoroughly cooked, seasoned with salt and a green pepper and strained It pays for the extra trouble, when you wish to make a tomato soup in haste. I always can fruit juice ready to make jelly in winter or to make fruit blanc mango, buildings or ices. Many of the acid fruits are really better when some of the juice is taken off.

FRUIT PRESERVING.

A Factor In Next Winters Delight.
 Some of Its Little Wrinkles.
 The first step in the process of pre- serving Is to secure fruit of uniform ripeness and at the height of it's flavor, and cleanliness must be as much a part of the regular routine as the seiec- ton of the best materials.
 By very simple contrivance an ordi- nary wash boiler may be converted into an excellent fruit steamer, one that will do the work as we'll as an ex- pensive sterilizer. Take piece of board about one-haif inch thick and of size to fit loosely into the bottom of the boiler. Have the board perforated with holes an inch ih diameter and with a space of two inches between each. On the underside of the board nail cleats six inches high, one in the center and one near each end. These serve double purpose primarily to keep the board above water, also to prevent 1t from warping. Put wate- to the depth Of four inches into the boiler, put in the board and the steam CT is ready. On the board the jars are placed. filled with raw fruit, covered with rich sirup. Have rubbers ad- justed and lids screwed on loosely. Cover the boiler closely. If the lid does not fit lay under it a thick cloth, so as to prevent steam from escaping.
 Bring the water to the boiling point. and boil from ten to twenty minutes, according to the nature of the fruit. Berries require steaming ten minutes, peaches and aprtcots fifteen minutes, while pears and such fruit must be steamed longer When done screw the lids tightly on the jars and set on table Eo cool. By this method not only is the flavor of the fruit retained, but the shape is preserved, and the ease with which the work may be done is also worthy of attention.
 Plums and nectarines are another good combination for jelly. Use half of each variety of fruit The fruit may be cooked together or separately at one's option. To extract the juice add little water, then cook slowly until the juice flows freely. Strain through jelly bag, measure and add three-fourths a cup of sugar to each cup of juice. Boil fifteen minutes and pour into heated jelly glasses.
 Equal parts of grapes and apples make a well favored jelly, nice to serve with game and meats.
 Tn making apple jelly try the effect Of the juice and the thin yellow rind of lemon to each pint of apple juice Skim out the bits of lemon rind when the jelly is put in glasses. Apple jelly to serve with roast goose or pork is favored delicateIy with mint. nt.-Boston Cooking School Magazine.

How to Clean and po1asl, Shells.

 To prepare shells for collection first wash clean of mud, etc, says St. Nich- olas. An old toothbrush viii be an efficient aid. The soft parts are easily removed after soaking a day in weak alcohol, or the specimen may be placed in a small kettle or other receptacle suitable for the purpose and covered with cold water. Bring to a boiling point Shells should not be put into water already boiling, as the sudden change of temperature may crack them, or at least injure their polish and gen eral appearance. After removing the soft parts by the aid of pin, crooked wire OF small tweezers polish with brush or cloth. Shells that have a skin1ike covering may have a very small quantity of vaseline rubbed in to prevent them from cracking when dry. Rub off all extra vaseline with a piece of flannel

How to Wash Kid Gloves.

To wash kid gloves, first get the kind that will wash. Then wash them right. Don't imagine that any old way will do. The washable kid can be cleaned. But they demand that it be done prop erIy. The glove must first be soaked for half an hour or more in father of tepid soap and water, then washed on the hand in fresh lather, and finally rinsed and squeezed gently with a towel, so that when taken from the hand it Is not dripping wet and dries quickly. These economical gloves can be had in kid or suede and in pretty shades of beaver and gray as well as in white.

How so Preserve Your Umbrella

Never leave an umbrella standing on the point ih the ordinary way when wet. The water trickles down, spoil ing the silk and making the wires rusty. It is also mistake to open 1t and leave it standing, as this stretches the silk, making it baggy, so that it is impossible to fold it smoothly. The proper way is to shake out as much of the water as possible, then stand the umbrella on it's handIe to drain.

1.-THE DAY OF FINAL DOOM WILL
 COMFY
 Holy Scriptures, he at once recalled that passage of Amos (viii-, 9, which reads:
 And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and will darken the earth in the clear day.
 The thought of doubting the truth of the time set in the almanac did not once occur to the preacher. He would just as soon have doubted statement in his Bible. Despite the difference in time of one hour and one minute be. tween the time given in the almanac for the setting of the sup on Novem- Der g and that given in the Bible for it's setting oh the doomsday, he at once associated the two and be- came firmly convinced that it was his duty to convey to the members of bis congregation the discovery he had made.
 On last Sabbath he took for his text the scriptural passage quoted, and then, with voice trembling with ex- citement and frame shaking with apparent fear, called attention to the statement in the almanac. and with the certainty of prophecy in bis tones, announced November s5 as s4hat great day of the Lord's.'
 The next morning many of them failed to appear al their usual places of work, and for two days the labor situation of the town was demoral- ized. The negroes declared that they cared nothing for earthly things, as they were all soon to go to their re- ward. The excitement spread to out lying farms and many negroes de- serted their crops and came to town to talk of the impending doom with those who had heard Lovejoy deliver his prophecy.
 The Louisville Courier-JournaI says that white citizens have now per suaded nearly all of them to go back to their work on the idea that they. will have to live until November 25, even if the judgment is to occur then, but all efforts to explain to them the error which caused the prophecy have. been unavai1ing and Lovejoy and his hearers are still in mortal fear of November 25-and all because the compositor used the wrong figure and the proof-reader failed to catch the error.

NEGROES WORKED UP
Expect Day of Judgment to Arrive
 on November 25.
Panic Caused by Typographical Er- ROR in Almanac-Preacher Reads Prophecy and His Followers
 Stop All work.

The error of the compositor in merely substituting the figure 1 for the figure 5 in setting up the matter for the 1903 issue of Greer's almanac, which, with the possible exception of the Bible, is the most widely read publication in rural homes, both white and black, in the south, has re- suited in period of excitement al- most approaching a panic among the negroes of the little city of Gaines vile, Ga, who think that the day of Judgment is near at hand and that all earthly things are soon to end.
 The panic among the negroes was caused by recent sermon by Rev J. D. Lovejoy, pastor Of the St. Paul Colored Methodist Episcopal church, of Gainesville, aud the most intelli. gent and generally respected negro minister in the town. in which he de~ c1ared that the day of final judgment will come on November 25 of the pres ent year, and, as if to dispel all doubt as to his authority, pulled copy of Greer's almanac from his pocket and pointed out the incorrectly set item which is the cause of all the trouble
 Tn the November table of the ris- ing and the setting of the sun the astronomers calculate for the 18th that the sun will rise at 6:59 a. n. and set at 5:01 p. m. Right here was where the printer got in his work which caused the negro minister and his flock to fear that this old world has only few more short months to move in it's orbit
 By substituting the 1 for the 5 be made it appear that on November 25 the sun is to set at l:01 p. m. Love joy; in looking over his almanac, came to this item. It attracted his atten- tion and being 8 close student of Ssse

FREIGHT RATES

Commenting on the recent merger
of the st. Louis & San Francisco rail-
road with the Rock Island, The Iowa
State Register believes that the
fears" entertained by ex-Attorney
General Griggs have been dissi-
pated." That is, that the Northern
Securities decision would prevent any
further consolidation and undo what
has been done. Continuing, The
State Register says:
, An attempt to force the roads
into constant acute competition
is therefore an attempt to force
Them to conduct their business IN
an impracticable manner. Proyi-
sions of law which forbid discrim-
mating rates and require acute
competition are inconsistent. Dis
elimination is a necessary feature
Of competition. Discrimination
consists in giving one man bet
ter rate than another and compe-
tition involves that very thing.
The natural recourse OF railway
owners in this dilemma was to
consolidation. 1t was the only
thing they could do, and the pub
/. lie has now to consider how to
best deal with new and perma-
nent situation. The Elkins law
IS an attempt to compel the roads
to treat all shippers alike, to COM
pei uniform rates, and that means
To a considerable degree a sur
render Of the competitive prin-
tiple. No two roads between the
same points can adhere to open
rates and have those rates differ
ent. They come inevitably to the
same rate and the Eikins law pro-
poses that the published rate shall
be maintained.
We believe this to be evolution.
There are economic gains from
the consultations, and we have
reached the stage where varying
freight rates, with advantages TO
large shippers, are not to be toler-
ated But railway owners may as
well recognizes that the nearer
their new position approximates
to practical monopoly the
greater will be the pressure for
public authority somewhere to re-
view and control railway charges.
