aDUMMY" HAMS FOR SUMMER,
Butcher Shops Provided with Fine
limitations While the Real Meat
Goes Into the Cooler.

In the good old summer time hams
must be put away in the butchers ice
chest like all other meats. The conse-
quence is that for many hours of the day
the show windows of a butchers shop
looks as barren as Yorkshire moor,
says the New York Times. One of the
large western packing firms has orig
mated the idea of furnishing butchers
who patronize them with dummy hams.
to be hung in the windows while the real
thing is in cold storage. This idea
has the double advantage of advertising
the particular brand of ham, and of Civ
ing the butcher the appearance of con-
tinuous prosperity, even in the hottest
weather. The imitation hams are made
of wood. They are covered with can
vas, like the real hams, and fully stained,
as though the grease had soaked
through. Nine out of ten passers-by
would not know the difference.
In an Eighth avenue butcher shop
one day lately they were short OF dunn
mics, and the boss decided to stuff three
Of the hams with sawdust. A hungry
man came along, grabbed one of them,
and ran up the avenue. He was caught,
but instead of prosecuting, the butcher
gave him dime to buy something to eat.
He explained that the laugh he had
watching the crowd chase the man up
the street until policeman stopped
him, and his dismay when he discovered
that he had nothing but sawdust ham,
was we'll worth ten cents.

Without further words he clambered
into his buggy and, gathering up tue
lines, was whirled away into the
lengthening shadows of the after
noon.
The sun had almost set when the
buggy, followed by men, women and
children, all who were able to r--.k,
again drew up before the door OF hose
Gable. The great brute was lifted out
and stretching its gaunt, powerful
form after the cramping ride, rolled
on the soft, cool grass, like puppy.
And the crowd watched it in silence,
awed by the thing they had come to do,
standing in the shadow of this house
OF death. Guided by the doctor and
Uncle Amos, the foreman, grasping
the nail-studded leather collar of the
dog, led him to the clump of lilacs,
raised his heavy muzzle and laid it
along the broken stalk. Mute sur
prise in the beasts eyes only Fur
ther along, above the fracture. An
eager shifting told that it understood,
that it had the scent.
Dropped to all fours, the dog shifted
the ground eagerly, ran hither and
thither, circled around the lilac bush,
then, tossing its head high, with long
deep-chested bay, it laid its muzzle
once more to the ground. and, drag
ging the quarryman who held it with
stout leathern thong, it set off across
the lawn. 1t was on the trail.
And those who heard, thrilled with
the savage music of that bay, which
awoke in their own breasts the latent
savagery of the human beast. Their
pulses beat to a faster measure, the
righteous indignation of an outraged
neighborhood, for the moment gave
place to the fierce exultation of the
hunters of wild beasts. PrimevaI man
awoke in them and. scorning the chas-
tening effects of centuries, rejoiced in
the chase.
Eagerly the dog tugged at his collar,
as eagerly the crowd of young and old
pressed in its wake. Yes, here was
where he got through the hedge. It
could be seen plainly, the gap, now
that the dog pointed the way. To the
right along the lane as far as the stile;
over this and across the fields by the
footpath to the parsonage, straight
on into the village. What stranger had
passed through that day? Eagerly
they asked each other the question.
None could answer it. And the won
der grew as step by step the keen
scented dog tracked the footsteps of
this unknown fugitive, followed them
into the various familiar places in the
village, the store, the blacksmith shop,
| the post office. Men looked at each
other with wonder and suspicion.
What did it mean? Eagerly the dog
strained at his leash; quicker and
ever quicker he dragged his keeper
along. Again into the fields, back
again into the village, then along the
road, back to the house of death. Un-
erringly, without moments hesita-
tion, the great beast rugged along,
waking the echoes of the coming night
with his deep-throated bay, which an.
nounced that he still held the trail
and it was growing warm. Tense with
the eagerness of the quest, they fol-
lowed the hurrying dog, shrinking
each from the other in the nameless
suspicion fast growing in every breast

A SONG OF DUTY.

sorrow comes and sorrow goes.
Life is fecked with shine and shower,
Now the tear of grieving flows,
Now we smile in happy hour;
Death awaits US, every one
Toiler, dreamer, teacher, writer
Let us then, ere life be done,
Make the world little brighter!
Burdens that our neighbors bear
Easier let us try to make them;
Chains, perhaps, our neighbors wear,
Let us do our best to break them.
From the straitened brain and mind
Let us loose the binding fetter.
Let us, as the Lord designed,
Make the world little better!
Selfish brooding sears the soul,
Makes the heart nest OF sorrows,
Darkepng the shining goal
OF the sun-illumined morrows;
Wherefore should our lives be spent
Daily growing blind and binder?
Let us, as the Master meant,
Make the world little kinder!

TO DETECT BAD FOOD.
Microscopic Laboratory Is Estab-
lished in Connection with the
Department OF Agriculture.

For the purpose of insuring pure food
for the people of this country Secretary
Wilson has established a microscopic
laboratory in connection with the chem
ical division of the department of agri-
culture. Already it has been demon
strated that unscrupulous dealers are
palming off artificial coffee and other
impure food on the public. The sup
posed coffee berries we're regularly
shaped and colored, but were composed
of chicory, starch and other ingredients,
and when ground presented about the
usual appearance of coffee.
Cocoa has come in for some curious
results under the microscope, and in fact
there is now no branch of the depart
ment of agriculture where this instru-
ment does not play an important part.
A large photo-microscopic camera oc-
cupies one side Of a large room, and is
SO arranged that foods under inspection
may be photographed and the picture
thrown upon screen in the natural col
ors-a thing of inestimable value to
students of grain and vegetable dis
ease.
A microtone for cutting up articles for
investigation, such as fruit, vegetables
and grain, to the two hundred and twen-
ty-five-thousandth part of an inch, is
one of the new equipments. Arrange
ments are made for photographingt these
minute waters while under the micro
scope, and from the enlarged sections
are made trapsparencies for throwing
upon the screen.
A test was made recently of spruce
and linen pulp for the manufacture of
paper in this country, and it was found
the manufacturers were being imposed
upon by the importers, and through the
determination of the microscopic thou
sands of dollars were saved. In import.
ing sumac into this country fraud was
constantly practised on dealers and
manufactures. This was stopped
through this department This ap-
paratus is also used for getting at the
disease Of wheat and other grain, and
also the adaptability of certain varieties

UNFERMENTED GRAPE JUICE
Recommended as a Drink by Govern
ment Experts to a Tenn
perate Nation.

The Greeks had two kinds of wine,
protoplin, or the first juice Of the
grape before pressing, and deuterion,
or the pressed juice. The Romans
called them vinum primarium and
vinum secondarium.
Some of the Romans drank the Juice
before fermentation had started, call
ing it mustum, and some of them pre-
ferred the juice when it had been
heated. and was known as frutum;
while still others took theirs when,
after being reduced in bulk by one
half or two-thirds by heating, it was
called sapa. The Romans used sapa
as some sweet-toothed persons use mo-
lasses on bread, says the New York
Sun.
Unfermented grape juice has valua-
BILE medicinal qualities, which have re-
suited in the establishment of so-called
grape cures in European wine-produc-
ing districts to which physicians send
debilitated patients during the season.
The department of agriculture is en-
deavoring to have Americans who have
vineyards take up the manufacture OF
unfermented grape juice, and the gov
ernment has just issued a bulletin CIV
ing directions for the treatment of the
grapes. George C. Husmann is the au-
thor of the pamphlet, and his direc-
tions are SO plain that any housewife
can make unfermented grape juice for
family with very little trouble.
All that is needed is that clean,
sound grapes, well .ripened, but not
oyerripe, shall be crushed and pressed,
either in a small cider press or by
hand
To press the fruit by hand, the
crushed fruit should be put in cloth
sack and squeezed. Then the juice
should be heated in double boiler,
so that it shall not come in contact
with the fire, to a temperature of 1876
degrees Fahrenheit. The Juice should
never be heated above 200 degrees.
This heating prevents fermentation,
and makes it possible to keep the juice
for long periods.
After heating the Juice should be
allowed to settle in clean vessels, and
then the clear liquid drained off into
the bottles in which it is to be kept
The bottles should be heated to about
an inch of the neck and then placed
on false bottom in water boiler
with water up to an inch of their
mouths
The water should be brought to q
simmer. Then the bottles should be
taken out, corked with corks that have
been boiled in water of 240 degrees
Fahrenheit, sealed with wax and sci
aside in cool place to be used al
wanted
If the sterilization is at too high {
temperature, or the grape juice is no
filtered, the final product will b,
cloudy, and may taste little OF.

TALE OF A THOROUGHBRED.
Virginia Country Storekeeper who
Knew How to BE Court
eOus to q Roy.

1T is positive fact" said a pros
porous elderly hardware man, accord
ing to the Detroit Free Press, that the
old-time manners of business men were
more studiously polite than business
manners nowadays. In this rushing
age, the successful business man has to
be more or less of hustler and hus-
tling, insensibly perhaps, is bound to
impart a short, curt, hurried air to all
business courtesies. Haste and what
used to be called gentility cannot grace
fully go hand in hand.
When l was little country black
smiths boy, half century ago, was
one day sent on horseback to the near
est country store. three miles away
1t was my first trip from home, and I
felt stepped in Importance and bashful-
ness. AS logged up to the rude little
cabin in which the crossroads store was
kept, tall, slim country man, the
keeper of the store, came out to greet
me. He accosted me with gentle, con-
siderate manner which / had never be-
fore encountered, lifted me down from
the gunny-sack which was my only sad
die, tied the old mare to the rack for
me, asked me my name. and why had
never been to visit the store before.
People may smile at old Virginia stock;
but the man who kept the country store
was the son of Virginia pioneer, and,
through long life, do not recall ever
to have met more thorough gentle.

polished courtesy was as readily extend
ed to a bashful little country lad as II
the boy had been kings courtier.
after my purchases were made, and
the sugar and coffee were put into my
gunny-sack, was assisted to mount,
and sent on my way happier boy for
having met that kind and pleasant man.
His name, learned at home, was

Arrived at the lawn before the house,


the hound turned promptly toward the
lilac bush. But it did not go quite to
it. At a point some dozen feet short
of the shrub it turned off and headed
again across the lawn toward the gap
in the hedge. Again to the right, along
the lane, over the stile, across the
fields. The dog was tracking the track
ing party. Among those who followed
this hunt for man was the hunted
man himself. Lifelong friends eyed
each other askance; in each face was q
look writ by horror and trepidation.

the look of guilt itself. Each suspect
ed his neighbor and felt himself sus-
pected. Vain in that universal uneasi-
ness to seek to read the really guilty
one. Nothing to do but to follow on
this everything trial, around and around
until the end.
Back third time to Rose Gable, the
attendant followers now heightened to
a trailing que, as the dog pressed more
eagerly forward, and the more infrm
among the followers lost ground, un-
able to keep up, though none dreamed
of dropping out. Painting, nearly over
come, little group brought up the
rear, entering the grounds just as the
head of the party, led by the indom-
liable hound, was emerging from the
gap in the hedge. The man holding the
leash stumbled and the dog, thrown

the scent and for moment was at
fault. He had it again in a second,
/ however, and with bay of rejoicing
resumed the tracking, but in the other
direction. Back again to the gate OF
Rose Gable, back across the lawn, and
with a snarl of rage the great beast
tore itself free from the restraining
hand that held him and sprang at the
throat of Jasper Downes.
"And the sentence of tine court is
that you be taken back to the place
| where you have been confined and be
| kept there until the goth of March
when you shall be hanged by the neck
until you be dead. And may God have
mercy on your soul"
The famous trial was over at last
and the villagers filed out of the court
| room, silent and awed; still under the
influence of the impressive scene in
which they had just played part.
"Who'd We thought it? Jasper
Downes, of all men! Why, I'd most
as soon we believed it of myself"
| 1t was Homer Cough who spoke to
Uncle Amos, but he voiced the thought
of the countryside, which had not yet
recovered from the amazement into
which the unexpected climax of the
Rose Gable tragedy had thrown them
For Jasper Downes had lived all his
life amongst them, beloved for his
gentle nature.
"The human heart is curious puz
