Americans visiting Mannheim fre.
quently comment on the attractive
meat shops to be seen here, writes
United States Consul Harris in cur.
rent report. This attractiveness is Sc
cured largely by the use of ornamental
tiles for floors, walls and even ceilings
and counters.
The tiles on the walls are similar to
those used in bathrooms in the United
States. They are generally of light
shades, arranged in patterns of artistic
design. The floors are also laid with
tiles of different colors.
In one of the most attractive of these
stores the walls are Of ivory-colored
tiles, with panels of flowers and other
designs. The counter, which runs along
two sides of the room, is of the same
iyory-colored material, ornamented in
gold. 1t presents a rich, handsome ap-
pearance. Even the bookholders, scales
and gas fixtures are tiled. The general
effect Of the room Is suggestive, above
all, Of cleanliness.-Ncw York World.

Venezuela's Wealth.

article in Pearson's, sis rubber, for
which the demand of the world is in
creasing, while the resources are by no
means keeping pace with civilizations s
needs. With the wants of the world
increasing in such enormous strides,
it is only n question of time when the
production of rubber must be under
taken upon n large scale and under
regular methods of planting, culture
and harvesting. Venezuela offers here
n rich field to enterprise; for, rudi-
mentary as are the methods of the
present, they produced 100000 pounds
from the Rio Negro and Orinoco val
leys alone, one year ago. Explorers
in the upper reaches of the Orinoco
and Rio Negro have reported that there
are available about 100000 rubber
trees, counting only those within a
certain distance of navigable water.
Every tree is good for about five
pounds of crude rubber per annum
making the possible annual output Of
the two valleys 30,00O,000 pounds. At
present it is no more than 100000
pounds. If the tree survive the at
tacks of inexperienced or improvident
gatherings in its youth, it is good for

that he always takes at least a full
hour to each meal and thoroughly mas

If Mr.. Price has pursued this plan for

or five years, more on his meals
than he would have spent if he had
shortened them to half an hour apiece
If by this Investment of time he has
added thirty-one years to his life he is
at least twenty-slx years ahead.

AMERICAN HOSTESS,

Commenting upon the American
practice of having the hostess at re-
ceptlons assisted in receiving and en-
pertaining her guests by a number of
friends, an Englishwoman says that
the fashion is one that might we'll be
copied in her country. "In England"
she says, mo matter how large a party
may be, all the guests are ON the qui
vive until they have found the hostess.
They give a scanty attention to any
friends they may meet; they dare not
have tea or settle down into a COM
Portable talk until they have reported
themselves, as it were, to their superior
officer. First find your hostess is the
unvarying rule of English etiquette,
although she is too busy when found
to do anything more than shake hands
with a mechanical smile. She remains
firmly fixed by the doorpost at the
head of the stairs as long as she can
bear it, so that her guests may get
their greeting off their minds as soon
as they come. Now the American
plan is quite different. When a hostess
gives large crush over there, she in

Wilson came along on horseback,
and, riding along the bank, threw his

over the body Of Hammitt. Wilson
quickly turned his cow pony and drew
the man to shore. He then repeated
the performance with Webster.

They stop the whole afternoon, devot-

effecting introductions, offering re-
freshments, and generally promoting
the enjoyment of others. They are cas-
lily known, the outward and visible
sign Of the assistant hostess lying in
the fact that she is without any hat

relieves the hostess for awhile by
standing by the door to receive, so that
the latter can give little individual
attention to those she wants to say a

to see his hostess later on, but he does

go of the fore Sheet alone saved the
ship from going down with 100 souls

THE WIFE'S ALLOWANCE.

Should the wife have an allowance, q
definite sum set apart out of the family
income for herself, or should she have
to ask her husband, as IL it We're char
ity, for money with which to buy her
hats, gloves, ribbons and the thousand
and one needful tribes? Men are apt
to think that because women do not do
the work for which they (the mem are
paid, they have no part in earning it,
and are sooner or later inclined to ask,
"Where is the quarter l gave you yes
terday?"
Marriage is partnership in special
sense, in which the man is generally
the bread-winner; but it by no means
follows that the woman is merely an
ornament or doll arrayed in pretty
dresses or house-gowns. In the ideal
home the wife hears her share of the
Yburdens that must come, it would
Nseem, to all Of us. She keeps the house
more or less elaborately, according to
the circumstances. If she has one
servant or more, her burdens take
other forms than If she did her own
work. If she has children, there is the
responsibility of caring for them and
training them. The mothers influence
upon her children for good or evil is
very great. If there are guests at the
home, the matter of entertainment
largely devolves upon the wife. Her
duties are multifarious, and when she
has done all, she is expected to be
companion for her husband, and to be
interested In he things in which he is
Interested. All this is just as much the
contribution to the household happl-
ness and comfort as the money the
husband brings home every week. In
business matters the wife should be
treated like a business partner; she
should have an allowance, and should
not have false sentiment about asking
for it.-Woman's Home Companion.

HUNTING THE MUSK-ON.

Hunting musk-oXen in northern
Greenland and Grinnell Land, though
entaillng a great deal of work. is not
difficult, and seeing the animals is tan
tamount to securing them. Either
from natural stupidity or as the result
Of their freedom from molestation in
their Arctic Businesses, they are COM
paratively tame. A large herd, on the
approach Of men and dogs, leisurely
forms in bunch, tails together, heads
radiating, calves, If any, under their
mothers, and the big bull leader stand
Ing outside of the bunch, head down
and paving the ground, ready for
charge in any direction. Single ami
mails, or two or three together, run
only to the nearest rock, ledge, hilltop
or other natural feature, which may
afford them some protection in the
rear, when they turn and face the
enemy, falling an easy prey to the rife.
AS will easily be seen, this popularity
means their determination in any To-
cality within a very few, years after
man gains a foothold.
If there is not much skill required in
killing musk-oXen, it frequently re-
qulres a quick eye and trigger to save
dog from being crushed or tossed,
mangled, into the air. 1t also requires
some experience to kill each animal
with single bullet. With the light
cartridge of the Winchester carbine,
the only safe shot is back of the fore

and in late fall and winter when the
animals coat is very thick and heavy
even this Is not always sure. With
the $500 cartridge my own favorite
shot is just back of the ear; frontal
shots are entirely useless unless the
bullet can be placed over the lowered
head into the back of the neck or under
the muzzle into the chest.
Though the danger to a man from
the charge of the musk-ox is very
possibly a real one, 1 have never yet
seen any member of any of my parties
in peril even Of slight accident on
this account.
The skin of the musk-oX is too heavy
for any use except as bedding, though
the short-haired skin of the legs 1
have occasionally used for heavy WIN
ter boots.
The meat of the musk-ox is as good
as any beef, and it is only when the
animals are allowed to remain un-
eviscerated for a night or n day after
being killed that the meat acquires any
musky flavor.-Commander Robert e.
Peary, in Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly.
