ORIGIN OF "STATEROOM."
the Captain of II Mississippi
River steamer.

did you ever hear of the origin of
the name 'stateroom? asked Repre-
sentative Aldrich, of Alabama, of a
Washington Post writer. There
probably is not one person in 10000
who ever heard how the name so
common was first sprung. This is
the way it happened: Down in Louis
lana is the thriving city of Shrcve-
port, The man after whom the city
was named was old Capt, Shreye, who
used to run some of the finest craft
thta ever carried the travelling pub
lie up and down the Mississippi
river.
capt. Shrere was a progressive
sort of fellow, and he believed in
giving the passengers the best pos
sible appointments, and his boats
were the most luxurious that we're
ever piloted on the famous water
thoroughfare, There used to be or
dinary hunks on the line, the crudest
kind of berths. Shreve made up his
mnid that something better was de-
manded, and that the more luxurious
night travel was made the more
traffic there would be on his lines.
So he had number of rooms built
on his boats for night travellers,
Then the idea suggested itself to
him that instead of numbering the

MAKING BEEF IN FLORIDA.
Surprising Tint SO HttIc is Done
when the Favorable Condi-
tions nre Considered.

"Thc wonderful variety Of foods
and the quantity that can be pro-
duced in the south for feeding stock,
makes it all the more surprising that
so little is done in this line. At the
Florida station an experiment was
made in feed bceyes on velvet bean
forage, cottonsccd meal and cassaya
roots. incidentally, it was also a test
between a native scrub and a grade
animal, and, of course, the grade beef
animal won. But the surprising thing
about it is the statement that the
velvet bean gave T. tons of forage and
the cassaya seven tons. Feeding vel
vet beans and cassava in the form
used in this experiment. and in the
proportions used with the native
steer, one acre of velvet beans ap-
proNimately balances two-thirdS of an
acre of cassava. Fed in this way, this
area will feed Is average Florida
steers for market as fat beef Where
an acre and two-thrds will fatten
10 ANIMALS, there should certainly be
no trouble in making beef profitably,
and with good beef animals used for
the work, the south could soon be
independent of the western packers,
If the farmers but know what their
soil and climate afford. Cassaya can
be profitably grown as far north as
southeast North Carolina; it has been
grown fairly well at the experiment
station at Raleigh. But for the great
er part of the south the cow peas,
soy bean and Indian corn will be the
great foods, and they can be grown
with more profit than in the west,
where feeders are already taking
hold of them. The southern farmer
who wakes up to the advantages of
his climate and grows forage and
feeds beeyes will have source of
wealth he has hardly dreamed of yet,
for he needs to buy no protein
whatever, as he can grow all he needs

LESSONS FOR THE FOAL.
A Little Effort At the Right Tins
VIII Render the Breaking
Process Unnecessary.

A young colt is a joy to child's
heart and an object of much interest
to every normal person who has an
interest in the beautiful and graceful
in nature.
A foaPs very attractiveness, like
that of some specially interesting chill
dren, endangers its future value and
usefulness by reason of its liability
TO become spoiled in the making. A
colt of few days of age has but little
fear of its own kind or other farm
animals, but its first contact with
man brings out its dread of his do
mnion inherited from early, wild an
cestry.
A little effort at the right time,
coupled with good Judgment in han
ding and training a coal, will prac-
tically make the future "breaking"
process unnecessary.
The most essential thing for the
colt to learn very early in life is that
man is its complete, but well-meaninp.
master From the colts viewpoint
man seems a kind of Overwhelming
power against which 1t is entirely use
less to contend. The easiest and
quickest way to bring about this con
dition is to begin the lessons very
early. When the foal is but few
days old have a strong but trusty

FINEST LIBRARY ON ANARCHY.

side Heights has just come into the
possession of complete anarchistic
library of some 1000 books, pamph-
let's and documents, and in few
weeks they will be ready for refer
ence, 1t is stated by Dr. James p.
Garfield, the head librarian, that il
is the most complete collection of its
kind in the world, 1t originally be-
longed to a French anarchist. On his
death in London last year the collec-
ton passed into the hands of admin
istrators, and they had the books put
up at auction, Columbia bought
them for 500.
The collection includes 252 sets of
newspapers and periodicals, nine
tenths of which are complete. There
are about 260 anarchistic books and
pamphlets. A very large collection of
autograph letters and Autograph
manuscripts by leading anarchists
from Bakouin down are feature.
Photographs very extensive col
lection of them-and even songs and
clippings from nonGrchistic papers
areincluded, but the crowning fea-
ture of the whole library is the col
lection of 27o large anarchistic pos
ters, with red, faring headlines and
infammatory reading matter. The

A GOOD BEGINNER.
Bat Jared would Never stick 10 Js0
Until the work Was
Finished.


"What kind Of man Il Jared Bsals,
anyhow?" the summer resident de-
manded irritably, relates the Youths
Companion "Ie agreed to build a
set Of shelves in my kitchen, and do
It at once, but haven't seen him or
heard from him since last Tuesday. He
made a fine start that day, Thought
from the way he began that the thing
would be done by Wednesday night"
The storekceper chuckled Eyes,
Jareds tirst-rate beginner he said.
"He begins on purpose, as you might
say Trouble is, he gener'ly ends sort
OF accidental.
"You got him to do some carpenter
ing" The storekeeper chuekled again
and settled himself more comfortably.
"Well, you might have hired him to
shoe horse, or play for dance, or
make your garden, or plaster a room,
or cobble your shoes, or most any
thing, He can do one thing as well
as he can another He's got slew Of
trades and knacks, Jared has. There's
so many of 'em, you see, that they keep
trippin each other up,
"Ten to one some body came after

Anybody ever tell We about Jared's
hennery? He started with a whoop
and a hooraw, same's usual, but he got
all tangled up over the question OF
eggs and chickens, whether one paid
better'n t'other, or yicy versy, and
whilst he was takin' contracts to do
all kinds Of jobs, and waiting for his
mind to settle, the eggs spoiled and
the Sknnks got the chickens.
mind We, Jared's an honest man,
and he isn't a lazy man, either. All is,
he's-he's wabbly. The stick-to-itwas
left out Of him, Seems funny to tell
about it, but it's too bad, too.
"IIe's got children growing up, and
he ought TO be forchanded for their

hard, always has. He starts Jobs, and
somebody else does the finishing and
collects the pay He's always going,

When farmers learn TO produce
the best quality OF poultry, there will
be buyers ready to pay the price it is
worth, 1t is said that nine-tenths of
the poultry sent to market is not of
good flavor nor is the flesh of good
texture.
