This is the story Of a dog, and ac
cording to the general belief it is a
dead dog at that. One lady Of the
city accused another of appropriatine
her chickens and made dire threats
against a small Chihuahua canine
that belonged to her suspected neigh
Dor. The dog disappeared, and the
lady of the second part alleged that
when last seen the children Of the
lady Of the first part were playing
with 1t. She hied away to the justice
court, leaving a small boy to watch
for development. When the lady re-
turned with the search warrant the
small boy Informed her that it would
be Of little use to search, for the dog
was undoubtedly a goner. He had
smelt the burning of the hair and
knew the dog had been cremated. The
lady herself was positive she detected
the odor of the burning hair and burn
ing dog, and didn't use her search
warrant. A friend assured her it was
probably sausage her neighbor was eff
ter. but she declined to believe 1t.
She was certain the little Chihuahuan
had been burned to a crisp.

Cold STORAGE Of AnnIea.

Iowa has an ebudance of hardy and
productive varieties of summer and fall
apples. Among these may be men
toned the Jonathan, Wealthy, Grimes
Golden, Winesap, Dominic, etc. Many
OF these are superior in quality to east
ern grown fruit and are produced in
this state in lei quantities as to over
stock the market at harvesting time.
The northern part Of the state, how
ever, Is unfortunate in having no salts
factory variety of winter apples. Hence
the market demands at tina season
must be supplied either by eastern
grown fruit or by holding the earlier
varieties over in storage. To do this
SUCCESSFULLY some means of preventing
the decay Of the fruit is necessary,
With a view Of determining the Dos
sibilfty Of accomplishing this by cold
storage, he Iowa experiment station
began a series of Investigations in SEN
TENDER, 1902. Several barrels Of the
leading varieties of early apples We're
placed in a cold storage house in Des
Moines. At Intervals during the fol-
lowing winter the fruit was examined
and It's conditions determined.
A report Of this interesting test has
been published as Bulletin ~ of the
station. The results Of the experiment
are fully set forth. The report is con-
sidered as preliminary rather than con-
elusive, yet 1t contains many points of
Importance and value to fruit groWers
and others interested.
The bulletin may BE had free by ad-
dressing c. T. Curtis, director Of the
experiment station, Ames,t Ia.

The Fountain of Youth

Saturday Evening Post: Like pretty
much everything else, this matter Of
having children has two sides to 1t.
AS a great many children are failures
and as children are the joint product of
heredity and environment, both ele-
ments preponderantly under parental
control, 1t would seem more sensible
TO say that there were too many peo-
pie undertaking parental responsibility
instead of too few. And, further. pa
renthood has many cares and sorrows
and exasperations. Still, when all is
said, how many persons who found
themselves childless at 45 have been
able honestly to congratulate them
selves?
Children have a use as an assurance
against restitution and loneliness in old
age. They are satisfactory to the van
lty for family Immortality. But more
than these n all other dvantapes ia
the advantage of ~prolongil.g ones life.
Growing children will keep any proner
mar or woman young in spirit and in
mind, will retard the DEVELOPMENT of
that sour yet complacent cyntcism
which curses old age both for ones self
and for those about one.
The mar or the woman-aeajn tho
right sort of man or has
children drinks every day a deen
draught at the fountain of eternal
youth. p. ~

To Cut Sandwiches,

New York Times: Men who cut
sandwiches must have just as much
knack and experience in the business
as men who open oysters on the river
boats" said a man who on one occa-
sion supplied 5000 sandwiches at two
days notice. 1T too seven men to
do that job in the time allowed" he
said, and they hadn't time to spare
at that. I paid them by the hundred,
the man who did the most work getting
the most pay. When they We're ali
through there was not enough scraps Of
bread and meat to fill a tin pail. That
is the secret of cutting sandwiches
to avoid waste. Their is such compe-
tition in the business hat we are OBJ
liged to work on low margins. We ar
range with a baker for a special loaf
in which there is little crust. Crusty
bread makes waste in sandwiches, be-
cause 1t breaks and crumbles when cut
in cross sections. There are ways of
cutting corned beef n ham, too, SO
that there i%sslittle waste in them for
sandwiches. We buy particular joints
for that purpose. We never send out
a sandwich that has been cut more
than forty-eight hours"

Roadside Trees.


Good Roads Magazine: The effort to
promote the beautify. tS OF the
by planting of shade trees has not re.
ceived the recognition and Gtten; On that
1t deserves. There is need of CT. ating a.
public sentiment which will lc ] to a
general observation Of the dutit of Ar
Dor day by the owners of propc.:y upon
streets and roads. There is no atter in
Vestment for inhabitants Of a town than
well shaded avenues for travel. Roadside
trees are no inconsiderable element in
the preservation of a roadway. j is true
that they somewhat delay the setting Of
country roads in the spring, but when
the towns learn better methods of con-
structing roads this objection will be OBJ
waited. a well shaded road makes the
work Of the heavily laden team easier
and greatly enhances the delight of the
MAJ who is travelling for pleasure. A
town whose streets are to an exceptionaa
extent lined with shade trees well tend
ed and cared for is sure to secure many
summer visitors and some permanent res
1dents, who are attracted by this very in
expensive but beautiful feature of coln-
try life. If every land owner in any town
or this commonwealth could be induced
to set out and maintain trees along hfa
whole frontage, that town in fifteen years
would be a place of exceptional interest
and would find such tree culture the verv
best investment it could possibly make.

ENGLISH IDEAS in JEWELS.
K Is Decrecd That Certain Kinds May
Be Worn in Qaxtima.

.U-
London Express: 1t Is only a few
ears 6 that it was considered bad
taste for women in English society to
wear jewelry in the day time. Now it
Is fashionable to wear not My dia-
monds and pearls with afternoon Co.'S
tunes. but also a variety of other gems.
The craze for barbaric jewelry was
perhaps accountable for this departure
In the first instance.
AT any rate. at any society function
nowadays q full-dress day costume is
not complete without a diamond chain
or pearl collar, while brooches, pend
ants and trinkets of turquoise, sap
phires, rubies or emeralds in conjunc-
ton with the dainty jeweled watch and
popular paste or turquoise buttons are
always to be seen. Even for morning
wear h simple skirt has diamond or
pearl links and studs.
Jeweled hatpins are popular wedding
gifts. Jeweled waist belts and hanging
purses are also much in vogue,- while
the O n picture earrings (Which have
been in fashion barely one season) are
often seen in the daytime as well as at
evening parties.
~Turquoises of every conceivable size
and irregularty and pearls of all shapes
nave been the fashion for some lime
past.
A new stone for day wear is the New
Zealand stone, which, as an adjunct to
the barbaric pearl SO much in favor, is
charming wear.
Apart from its lovely coloring-a deli
cate, transparent shade Of green-it is
supposed to be a lucky" stone as we'll,
and this to the superstitious-minded is
u welcome change from the also
lucky but rather overdone turquoise.
Another new stone is of the loveliest
rose-pfnk tint, transparent, yet with the
cloudy softness of the opal. This stone,
which forms a becoming finish to an
afternoon costume, is Worn as necklace,
pendant, brooch or earrings, and is yet
but little known to the fashionable
world.
