for AZ years. He can no longer ''stand

Then another store was esta blished
on the other side. At the rear of
the store there is an immense fan de-
signed to cool the ice cream parlor.
This fan is right next to three of the

noise it makes is deafening. On the

PEELED to keep her windows closed.

Muzz1ing the Press.

Governor Pennypaclzer, the tool of
the Quay ring, has signed the bill that
the corr vt legislature of the state
passed to muzzle the press. 1t will now
be in order for Boss Platt, Boss Ad-
dicks. Boss Hanna and the other Re-
publican bosses to order the subservi-
ent legislatures of the states they rule
to enact similar legislation. The car
toons seem to be the most obnoxious
matter the newspapers publish, and
the new law is especially designed to
stop the publication of pictures carica-
turing public officials. The ring in New
York attempted to pass such law two
or three years ago, but public opinion
In that great commonwealth would not
submit to any interference with the
freedom of the press. The majority OF
the people of poor old boss ridden Penn

with any outrage "for the sake of the

Good oats are clean, hard, dry,
sweet, heavy, plump, full of -four, and
rattle like shot. They have clean
and almost metallic luster. Each oat
in well-grown sample is nearly of
the same size. There are but few small
or imperfect grains. The hard pres
sure of the nail on an oat should leave
little or no mark. The kernel, when
pressed between the teeth. should clip
rather than tear. The skin should be
thin. The size of the kernel will be
less in proportion than the skin is
thick. The color of the cat is not very
material, but white oats are generally
thinner in the skin than black. Again,
black oats will grow on inferior soil.
Short, plump are preferable to large,
long grains. Bearded oats must have
an excess of husk. Oats are not nee
essarily bad because they are thick
skinned or bearded, but they must con-
tain less amount of flour per bushel
than the thln-skinned oats not bearded.

A peck Of Iime, air-slacked in fine
powder, may be advantageously scat
tered about each apple or pear tree for
a diameter of ten feet in each direc-
ton. This should be done ut once, and
it will soon be carried down by the
rains. Unthrifty fruit trees that are
in grass land should be plowed so as to
break and turn under the sod before
the lime is applied. The grass tends
to exhaust the soil and starve the
trees. But in blowing care must be
taken not to break the larger roots;
the smaller roots may be broken With
advantage, as it is a sort of root prun-
ing which is beneficial to the tree, but
large roots are apt to throw up suck
ers when they are torn, and the check

An interesting fight has just been

the wage question, which is attracting
more attention than any other that has
come up in a long time. The officers of
the clerks union have commenced fight
for union control of the clerks in the
large department stores of the city and
those stores that are employers of large
numbers of girls at low wages. The
demand is not 80 much for an increase
OF wages in these stores but that only
such persons shal be employed as are
competent and worth fair wages and that
Incompetent young persons shall not be
employed at starvation wages. The claim
10 made that there are several hundred
girls employed in these stores, mostly
girls from the country towns about Des
Moines sr the daughters of workingmen
of the city, and that they are paid from
50 to 81 week for their labor, which
is insufficient to support them.

ITO make our hats. Ee ccLtlnued.
I'VE first had to plaft the straw. It
was oat-straw, and we sat out on the
porch Of our log cabin, by a pail of
water, SO we could wet the straw and
keep 1t damp; otherwise 1t would
break. WINS lefthanded, South
paw they used to call me,-but I
could plat as fast as any of the other
boys.
after we had plated or braided
about thirty yards, we tied 1t up with
string, as you would tie up hoop
iron. Then, some rainy day, when
we Couldn't work out-of-doors, my
mother or grandmother would sit BY
and watch. us make the hats. Every
hoy had n big needle and coarse
homemade linen thread. Sometimes.
but not always, we could borrow our
mothers big, open-ended iron thlmble.
I'VE began by making little cir
Gle of the straw plat, sewing it
through on the wrong side with long
stitches. Then we kept on, going
round and round, shaping 1t as best we
could. like n deep cup or basket, to
make the crown of the hat
when the crown was made, then
we had plain sailing, and our mother
didn't have to watch us. Every boys
hat was then left to his own devices.
He just sewed the braid together,
slightly overlapping, round and round
until his hat was as big as he wanted
it. Then we called mother or grand
mother to show lis how to finish it Off
and tuck in the end of the plat neatly.
mo two hats, of course, were Just
alike. Some of them had quite conf
cal expression-crooked crowns, or
brims out of proportion. Nevertheless
each boy was II happy boy when he
had finished new straw hat for HIM
self. If the crown was higher than
usual. other boys would ridicule him,
and say. Look Mt the bee gum! look
at the bee-gum.' A bee-gum perhaps
you don't know, was an old-fashioned
hive for bees, sometimes made out OF
twisted straw, sometimes made Of
wood.
ITO make our straw hats extra nice,
sometimes we would wet the crown,
after the hat was made, and mold 1t
over a round block or log of wood"
