Senator Samuel H. West has aimed
a blow at the toy pistol evil by the in.
PRODUCTION in the Legislature of n bill
designed TO prohibit the sale and use
of that deadly weapon in Ohio.
Mr.. Vests bill provides that II
shall be unlawful after June 1 of this
year to sell. offer for sale, give away,
or explode any toy pistol, cap. cart.
ridge or other ammunition used in the
same, or any cannon crackers, or
other fireworks which contain dyna-
mite. nltroglycerine, or other high
explosive as distinguished from gun.
powder. The bill provides penalty
of not more than $50 nor less than 50
fine, and makes the dealer who vio-
lates the act liable In civil action for
any damages or injury to any person
who uses explosives sold in violation
Of the bills provisions.
This measure provides a sweeping
and radical remedy for a great and
growing evil. The toy pistol and the
cannon cracker claim their victims by
the hundred in all parts of the coun-
try at each recurring Fourth of July.
In this city last summer nearly score
Of persons died of lockjaw due directly
to wounds produced by those explo-
sives. and scores of other wounds were
inflicted which put the victims in
peril that was only averted by the
prompt and efficient aid of surgical
skill.
There should be no question as TO
the action of the Legislature with
respect to this bill. If any other evil
of like proportions called for correc-
ton, the action of the lawmakers
would be prompt and effectlve.-Cleve.

to-day France claims to be able 10
mobilize within forty eight hours
about 1000, 600 men and 600, 900 horses
and mules. Germany can put 1850
600 men in the field, Austria 1900. 200
and Italy 1,200,O00. Schaffe, the Aus.
TRAN economist declared in 1896 that
war involving the European Cont.
mental powers would cost France So.
100000 day. Russia $o,6O0.0O0 a
day, Germany $5.OOO,OO0 a day and
Austria $6,0O0,0o0 day.
According to Mr.. Roche conflict he

would cost for the first two months,
including the initial outlay, the i'm.
mense sum Of 100000, 900. and II g..
100000 soldiers should take the field
the daily cost would amount to &c.

With these estimates in sight, even
though they are mere approximations
1t is not hard to understand why the
statesmen of Europe are straining
their wits and their energies to con.
fine the present war to Asia.
If 1t takes the wages of 1900, 900

wild Duck Scum.

II you suspect the ducks OF being
sedgy of fishy parboll each with car
rot inside its body. then take out the
carrot and throw 1t away. You will
find that all the unpleasant flavor has
left the ducks and has been absorbed
by the carrot.
Cut up the ducks. season each piece
with salt and pepper and lay them in a
soup pot. For a large soup you should
have four ducks. Add three sliced
onions and a tablespoonful of ground
sage, also a quarter of a pound of
butter divided in four parts and each
part rolled in -four. Pour in water
enough to make rich soup and let It
boil slowly till all the flesh has left
the bones; skim 1t well. Thicker it
with boiled or roasted chestnuts,
peeled and mashed. A glass of Madeira
or sherry, or the Juice of lemon or
orange will be found an improvement.
In taking mp the soup be careful to
leave the bits OF bone and meat in the
bottom of the pot.

Honey From Seventy Colonies Of Bee.

A load of extracted honey. weighing
1000 pounds, was recently hauled from
Tuscola to Dawson, and was the prod
uct Of seventy colonies of bees owned
by James Mckay. This was an aver
age of fifty-seven pounds per colony,
and worth, approximately. 5000. The
bees did almost all the work, McKay's
part being merely providing hives and
comb foundations, getting stung a few
times and extracting the honey-a light
and pleasing task throughout. The col
lection of two tons of honey in a single
season by seventy colonies of bees was
extraordinary dolngs. Still, the bee
not only improves the shining hour"
but cloudy days and Sundays.-Detroit

Hunting the Wild Turkax.

Several different methods for taking
the wild turkey are pursued, the most
popular being the Calling method.
The wild gobbler, like his tame broth.
er. is an inveterate lover, which quail
ity since even before the white man
first came to hunt him in Virginia
and the Carolinas has led him blindly
into a vastly more serious trouble
than. the matter Of sQuabbles with his
jealous brothers. Long, long ago some
observing aborigine learned to call
him to his doom by initiating the Sc
ductive yelp of the hen turkey. The
ambushed savage, well practised in
producing his mendacious call, readily
decoyed the love-mad gobbler within
easy range Of his deadly arrow. The
white man learned of the Indian.
Shrewd as he is, the turkey has not
fully learned that frequently death
turks behind the dulcet call Of his
lady-love. His desire is tempered by
distrust, however. and despite his
buster and hurry to reach the side
of the lovelorn hen. he is wary, and
cautiously dallies in his coming, to
assure himself that all is well. He
will detect the faintest error in the
most carefully modulated call, or will
see the slightest movement. Then
swift and still as a fleeing shadow
he will steal away to the deepest
cover, there to remain in hiding till
his fears subside before his rising
ardors.-Field and Stream.

Joint AmIction.


When the Halliday twins were
babies their mother always referred
to them collectively. This was natural
enough, for they shared everything,
from their baby-carrlage to chicken
pox.
AS they grew little older, however
there were slight differences between
Elnora and Endora, but Mrs. Halliday
took no account Of them. When they
had reached the age of seven she stili
referred to them in way which
struck casual listeners as amusing.
"Where are Elnora and Endora %

the afternoon.
"The twins have gone with their
father to have one OF their teeth out"

To clean sponges, wash them in
diluted tartaric acid, rinsing them af-

Vinegar should not be kept in n

Freshen the house by putting a few

tablespoonful of ammonia to a quart

This freshens and brightens it wonder

Plenty Of soap and cold water and no
soda are the secrets of success in

For hanging clothes to dry, first
hang up by the thickest part, waist

the thinnest part the water would run
into the thick part, lodge there, and

Horse races on the ocean are fur.
nishing fun down at Belfast Penob-
scot Bay Is frozen solid from Belfast
Harbor clear across to Islesboro, a dis
lance Of almost twenty-five miles. and
teams are going back and forth the
same as on land. For the entire dis
lance the ice is twenty-six inches thick,
thing unheard of before in the men,
DRY of living man. The horse race in
question took place last week over two

this dime, and win content himself
with listening to story teller relating
the ancient glorics OF Da Nippon.
Had our pipc-clcaner returned empty
handed. he would have hurried to the
pawnbroker, always near az hand. and
raised q few farthings on his precious
brass pipe his hihachl. or his few poor
garments not in actual use. with the
money he would have purchased fish
cntrails or the orrals from horses used
for food and perhaps houdful of
scraps from a garbage barrel with
these he would have Toasted with his
family, and with them prayed that
Providence would give him a better
day to morrow, SO that he might re.
claim his goods.
The pawnbrokcrs fattcn or these
wretches as in no other land 1t is
impossible to escape them. and they
never relent. Anything that cost
above hvepence can be pawued.
Until November. or even until mid.
winter. one can exist in Shitaya with
out bed clothing. but when the nights
get cold, with the fearful piercing frost
of Japanese winter. some covering
must be had. Now appears another
plunderer of the poor in the guise OF a
capitalist. who rents quilts by the
night. He charges, and invariably
collects. from one farthing for n shred
of dirty, patched old rag TO penny or
even twopence for foul but heavy
covering. Then. too. there are frayed
silk quilts for bridal couples, but these
are too costly to be rented by many
brldegrooms. Rent must be paid in
advance. and before the family go to
sleep the collector comes and gets
either the money or the quilt. With n
refinement of cruelty. he does not ap-
pear until the lessee has turned In, and
the loss of his covering will be doubly
felt. There are heart-rending scenes
when penniless mothers strive TO hold
the quilt to protect their babes from
the chill and damp. Like the pawn
broker and the money.lender. the quilt
lender is flinty hearted.
Few of the inhabitants of Shltaya
ever get enough money ahead to buy
bed clothing, and the CHASTITY tragedy
of renting is re-enacted again and
again for winter after winter. Where
there are so many children having but
a few cotton rags. the winter means
acute misery.
Nothing that was ever edible can be-
come too bad for the very poor to use.
From this and similar quarters the
scavengers go forth daily searching for
food, and they rake the city as with a
comb. Back they come at night laden
with bad rice, decayed fish and meat,
scraps from slop barrels. broken food
from restaurants, and all manner OF
queer odds and ends. This second
hand food business has an extensive
language Of its own, with special terms
for every kind and condition OF edible
junk that is brought to the quarter.
This jargon is wholly unintellibible to
the uninitiated, and few there are who
care to learn the language Of the
freezing and starving who rent rags
and dine on offal.
Poverty has its ultimate expression
here-its last word

The castle, If built, will be the fifty
