MOVING BY CASH CARRIER.
St. Louis Hardware Merchant Uses Novel Method to Transfer Goods
 to New Store.

We have heard of many novel uses to which the overhead carrier system has been put, but probably the most in- genious of them all is that of a St. Louis hardware merchant, who moved the greatest part of his stock from one store to anothers which was located on the other side of the street, almost directly opposite, relates the Scientific Amer ican.
 A steel cable one and one-half inches thick and tested for 600 pounds, was thrown across the street from the win dow of one establishment to the other, a span of 81 feet. On this there was strung steel box and as the goods were taken from the shelves in one estab ablish- ment they were placed in boxes and marked.
 These were loaded into the cage. Grav- ity carried the load across the street, and the box was brought back by the aid of a hand windlass.
 The steel box made a round trip every minute, and the daily average was 500 per day. The average load was 300 pounds.
 In this manner all the shelf goods were handled, and the operation was per- formed without the slightest confusion, the goods practically going direct from the place in the old stere to their per- manent location in the new establish ment

DAlRYlNe WITHOUT ICE.

sHOvv to GnXEe Good Butter In Sum- mer Time.
 There are many farms with few cows, or perhaps only one, which are not convenient to a city, with ice an Etrupossible luxury and where for this lxeason the housewife believes she can pot make good butter in summer time.
 But even then good butter can be made if one knows how to meet ad- verse. conditions and will take the nee @ssary trouble, says a writer in the Sunny South. One prime requisite. of course, is cleanliness. There should be enough milk vessels so that they need not be all used constantly. If possible there should be vessels empty and air Hng one day for use the following day.
 The milk vessels should be rinsed out and thoroughly cleaned with tepid wa ter before scalding, for hot water would otherwise cook the milk into the crevtces, when it would be difficult to remove.
 < A good way is to rinse out each tin with sold water and then thoroughly scrub 1t inside and out with gener ous supply Of warm water. After which treatment scaid each piece with boil ang water.
 Without ice 1t is quite necessary to ehurn every day in warm weather, Keeping the milk in the, coolest place, which is never in the kitchen.
 Skim the mornings milk and mix the cream with the nights milk, and it will be t'set'' and ready to churn next morn ing.
 The churning must be done early by sunrise in fact. The cream is then at the right temperature, and the butter will be as firm and nice as one could wish.
 By swinging the.dish of butter with a stout cord drawn into the well it will remain cool and thebutter hard enough 4o slice.

How to Clean Windows.

Use newspapers for window clean ing. Fold the paper into a pad, wet it and squeeze out as you would a sponge. Rub vigorously over the panes, taking care to have the paper wet enough to aet the water run in streams down the glass. When you have rubbed the glass leave 1t for few minutes and linen polish with dry newspaper. Low priced newspapers are best for window
 cleaning, as they are not so stiff as the more expensive papers, and the use of them will not only save the wear and tear of clusters, but will produce a better polish than the ordinary method

The experiment or keeping the hotel
here open all winter has proven a suo-
cess, and 1t is we'll assured that the beau
tiful Princess Anne Hotel will not again
be closed, winter or summer. The patron
age has been excellent all winter, and
the guests are coming in rapidly now.
Surf bathing is already enjoyed. Several
gentleman and one lady were in the water
to-day. They declared that It was as
warm as it Is in midsummer. And why
not? For the sun was shining brightly,
the flowers In blossom on the hotel
grounds, and occasional sunshades attest
ed that the temperature of the atmos-
phere WAS too ardent for comfort Still
surf bathing SO early in the year IS
something unheard of In the latitude of
the famous resorts only a few degrees OF
latitude further north.
COLE ALL WINTER.
Golfers at the beach have enjoyed the
snort all winter. there being but few
days when 1t was not pleasant on the
links. The nine-hole course here Is one OF
the most beautiful In the country;; indeed,
1t Is seldom that one runs across spot
more quietly lovely than the Virginia
Beach golf links. as level as floor and
as green as the greenest field of the
Emerald Isle, skirted on two sides by
tho magnificent pine forest. One feels in
such a spot the JOY or golfins as II is not
experienced anywhere else.
The scenery about the beach Is much
different from that In the vicinity Of
other resorts. There are the great
stretches of pine Forest the grassy
meadows the truck farms, as we'll Gull
tivated as gardens; the sandhills, larger
and more picturesque than such are usu-
ally found; the limitless stretch of old
ocean, the ceaseless booming of whose
pillows on the sand beach sound as the
roar of artillery. 1t is really small Won
der that the beach should be the favor
ed resort 1t Is, Mr.. II, d. Green, the pro-
prietor formerly of the management of
day that the big Princess Anne Hotel was
entirely Inadequate to supply the demands
for space he expects this summer. He has
already engaged many rooms to Intending
guests for the summer season, Including
several we'll known Richmond people.
The long row of cottages which line the
beach above and below the hotel are
filled every summer and there will be
a number of new ones this season.
1t iss little wonder that there Is bis
crowds at the beach every year. Theirs
Is about everything there to attract peo-
Pile in search of pleasure or fun, and
the seeker of the beautiful In nature
would scarcely seek any other spot after
he had been to the beach day.

mentioned, as well as the fact that they

attractive to the masses than the Beach.
But all of them are becoming popular
with summer residents and at Ocean
