EVOLUTION OF HOUSE-EATiNG.
From Bonfires in the Living Rooms to
Suction Draft That Impaired
Life and Property.

In the primitive fireplace the smoke
was supposed to pass through an
opening in the roof, but, failing IN
this, it escaped, with the occupants,
through the handiest side opening
The Middle Ages set the hearth against
the wall, and built a projecting hood
of brick or stone above it to carry OH
the smoke. Gradually, the fireplace
was built with two fianking 1ambs.
which supported it, and thus the pres
ent form of fireplace was evolved.
AS the armorial bearing was proml'
nent feature of decoration in these
times. it's embodiment in the treat
ment of the f1rebreast became com.
mon, and the already important ire
place became the central feature OF
the room. At later period, the ire
Mace was let into the wall, as is the
common form today.
At first, the fireplace opening was
Of small dimension, but, on the theory
that the larger opening meant an
increase of heat, it was enlarged to
great size. Then, when the tendency
to draw children and furniture up the
chimney, or let in all the outside cold
through the enormous opening, found
little hindrance in the iron doors en-
Moved to remedy the defect, they

Long Neglected by Congress-Needs

Long Neglected by Congress-Needs
Better Government.
Mr.. r.. w. Jennings, of Alaska, ac-
eompanied by his wife, is stopping for
a few days at the Normandie. Mr..
Jennings is an old resident of Wash
ington, who is now prosperous at
torney of Alaska, and is here en- route
to New York. Speaking OF his adopt
ell home, Mr. Jennings said:
alaska has been very much neg
lected by the general Government.
Its mines, it's fisheries, and it's for
ests TEEN with wealth, only waiting
for capital and enterprise to develop
them. In the Alaska building, at the
st. Louis Fair, is a pyramid represent
ing the amount which Alaska cost the
United States; by it's side is another
pyramid representing the output OF
geld from the Treadwel mine alone.
The latter is several times larger than
the former. What Alaska mostly
needs is territorial government and
a delegate in Congress.
ut is preposterous to think that
Congress can legislate intelligently
for people living 5000 miles away and
who have no representative on the
ground. In the very nature OF things,
Congress cannot be intelligently adj
vised of the wants of the people or the
exigencies which may demand legis'
lation. Why Congress keeps Alaska
without territorial government and
without representative is one OF the
anomalies of modern politics. Nc
other section of our common country
has been so neglected.
Juneau is the center of very rich
and extensive mining district-the
largest mine in the world being there
located Wrangell and Ketchikan are
very busy and prosperous towns.
Skagway is situated at the head OF
the Lynn canal (al inlet of the sea-,
and is the entrepot for all the business
of Dawson and the Yukon Rive". 1t
is a town of about $500 people and
has a most peaceful and orderly COM
munity-life and property being as
safe there (and,> indeed, in all parts
Of Alaska) as at any other place ID
the United States. The town has
electric lights and telephones, and is
probably the only town on the tactic
coast which owns it's own water srI-
ply system. The Pacific & Arctic
Railroad, which has it's shops there,
is one of the most unique pieces of
engineering in the world, and the
scenery along it's route is incompara-
BILE for beauty and grandeur. All
though it's line lies through narrow
gorges and on precipitous heights,
and along narrow ledges, yet, so well
cared for and zealously guarded is 1t
that there has never been an accident
to a passenger travelling thereon. --

Cause of Bitter Milk.


Recent experiments at the Ontario,
experiment farm show that the yeast
like micro-organism, on bitter torula,.
is the cause of much bitter milk and.
cheese Factories in that section have
complained of the bitterness Of the:
milk, and as consequence the ex--'
pertinent station has conducted extern
siye Investigations as 10 the cause.
Culture Of the torula were added to-
milk and cheese that had been ster-
ilized and in each case bitter taste:
was the result. 1t was not found in
milk drawn into steriliZed dishes, but
was found regularly in mixed milk, in
the solution used for can washes and
also on the leaves Of trees under which
the cans were habitually kept. The
remedies are to cool the milk prompt
ly and to guard it from infection Of
any kind. All cans and other utensils
should be carefully washed and steril-
lied by heat. The Connecticut expert
ment station discovered several years
ago that a species of bacteria was the
cause Of bitter milk and cream. This
can be rendered harmless by steriliza-
ton.

Poultry ON a Dairy Farm.

The dairyman who sells his butter.
fat to creamery is in the best posi-
bic position to make flock of poultry
profitable. There is nothing that Is
good to increase the flow Of milk
which is not also good to increase tho
production of eggs. This is true Of
clover hay, for the shattered leaves
and heads make an excellent poultry
feed in winter, taking the place OF
grass and other green food. Wheat,
middlings, oats and corn are all grains
that are good for poultry, while
mess of finely chopped silage is as
greatly relished by flock of hens as
it is by a herd of cows. Then, too, the
COWS themselves fuIn.s h one of the
best feeds for laying hens. This Is
milk, which is a valuable egg-food in
any form The Missouri experiment
station says, in discussing profitable
ways Of disposing Of skim milk: An
other way of disposing OF the surplus
skim milk with profit is to feed it to-
the poultry. AS a feed for poultry
it furnishes the material for making
growth in a palatable, easily digested
form. For this reason it is easily val
liable as an addition TO the grain ra-
ton, which is liable to lack in the
materials to make grow tn"

JOGGING THE MEMORY.
Rough-and-Ready Devices to Assist the
Recollection.

The frequent cases of weakness or
loss of memory which threaten to
make this age remarkable have given
rise in Vienna to the establishment OF
a "Memento agency whose functloh
is to relieve of anxiety those people
who cannot rely on their own fecol-
lection with regard to future engage
ments. The agency issues a double
envelope to it's clients. In one, on
which you write you name, ADDRESS
and the date on which you wish TO
have your memory logged, you lnclose
a note of the particular business OF
which you want reminding. You sea-
it I'D and send it, in the second enVel-
ope. to the agency, which returns you
the Enclosure exactly at the desired
time, You are thus freed from all IN
termediate Worry. There is only one
nossible flaw in this arrangement, out
that is q fearful one. Who can guar
antee that the employees of the agency
will not also lapse into forget1uiness
Rough and ready devices to refresh
a faded memory are numerous. MANY

COL. D. r. ANTHoNYimmersed himself
in them. He had gone to the West on
peaceful mission, but the Invitation
to mix up in the turmoil Of the days
before the Civil War was irresistible.
In the war he was lieutenant colonel
Of a cavalry regiment. He was sta
toned in a camp in Tennessee, and
slaves were constantly coming there
after escaping from their masters.
The Federal officers sent them back,
.whereupon Anthony issued an order
that any officer or soldier arresting Or
delivering a fugitive to his master
should be summary dealt with. ac-
cording to the laws for such crimes.
There were no such laws and
Anthony's superior officers told him SO
but Anthony had his way.
In 1861 he founded the Leaven-
worth Conservative, which became the
Leavenworth Times, and when he
came back from the war he began
career of belligerent journalism. One
night he made speech to some bor-
der ruffians, some of whom shot at
him three times as he was going to
bed. He was impenetrable. One day
he went to the office Of Edmund u.
Ross, once a Kansas Senator, who
ran a rival sheet, and beat him with
Il cane Shortly afterward he was &C
cused of numbering Senator Jim Lane,
but it was proved that Lane blew his
own brains out In 1875 he was shot
by d printer named Embrey and he
carried the ball to his grave. Four
years later another printer, Tom
Thurston, shot at him, and when Doc
Jennison found himself criticised for
running a gambling place he went
over and put bullet into some OF. the
Times Office furniture. Anthony re-
turned the compliment, and being a
better shot hit the gambler in the leg.
\ man named Satterlee, who ran
small paper, called Anthony coward.
The latter took a man named Hamer
with him and went to Satterlee's office
On the way he met Satterlee and de-
manded retraction. Both Satterlee
and Anthony instantly drew guns
The first shot from Satterlee's gun
wounded Hamer and the second just
grazed Anthony's flesh. Anthony's
shot took effect in the mans groin and
he died within an hour. Anthony was
acquitted An attempt was made to
prevent his carrying weapons. On enc
occasion he was accused Of carrying
concealed weapons and the two lead
ing lawyers of the city spent two days
in talking on the prosecution side.
When it came to the defense Anthony
unwrapped the package which was
said to contain a pistol and revealed
piece of lead pipe in the shape OF
pistol. His later years were more
peaceable.
Col. Anthony was brother of Miss
Susan B. Anthony, the famous wom-
ans rights advocate.

The Dust Mulch.

1t is but few years since the SUBJ
iect of the dust mulch for the CONVEX
sion of the moisture in the soil has
been heard Of, yet to-day those who
have practiced it thoroughly under
stand its value. The theory is simple
one when once explained and under
stood. AS the moisture evaporates
from the surface Of the soil other mois-
ture from below takes it's place. The
condition of the pores connecting the
upper soil with the lower soil regu-
lates the rapidity with when the mois-
ture is drawn from the soil by evapor
alton; hence, any dry blanket that may
be placed between the atmosphere and
the damp soil checks evaporation. We
know this when we use straw, hay Or
leaves for mulch, and the same thing,
is accomplished by fine soil mulchI
kept dry because it is loose and fine,
and necessitating restirring after a.
rain to get the looseness and dryness.
That is all there Is to the dust mulch,
and it Is so simple and easy to under
stand that the wonder is it was not,
thought of years before it was.

Planting Trees in the Fall.


With many fruit growers there Is
an unrea sonable prejudice against set
ting trees in the fall, yet, i'll many Sec
tons, this work can be done to much
better advantage than in the spring.
There is no fruit tree but the peach
that cannot be planted with success
in the fall, at least in all localities ex-
cept, perhaps, the very cold North
Most men have more time to prepare.
the soil in the fall, can set the trees
properly, have no wet ground to con-
tend with and have time to stake
them and mound up about the base for
winter protection. Then, too, nursery
men are not SO busy in the fall as ins
the spring and are likely to have
better selection of varieties as well as.
of specimens, and they will always
give the buyer good value for hiss
money, so as to get the trees off their,
hands and not be obliged to care foI
them in the winter. Most small fruit
plants can also be set with safety in.
the fall, and both trees and plants fall
set will start off and make a growth.
in the spring before trees could be,
planted at that season.

Of poultry, and sells from two to six
dozen eggs a week besides what his
family consumes. He asks from two
to four cents more for his eggs than
the store price, according to the sea-
son. He gets it, and he could sell
twice as many eggs right among his
fellow clerks. Why? Because they
all know that these eggs are abso-
lutely fresh, and only the city dweIler,
who has to eat stale and lined eggs.
knows how to appreciate fresh ones
If this can be done on small scale,
by personal contact between the pro
duccr and the consumer, it can be done.
on commercial basis by any farmer
or poultry grower, providing he takes,
the same care which the Washington
government clerk does.
