pensatiOn for Their Work.

Praise is sweet" remarked certain
toiler, to a Philadelphia Record re-
porter, yet it seems to be against the
rule of many business houses. Perhaps
they fear you'll demand raise if they
compliment your work. Why, even a
friend of mine, who is engaged in win
dow decoration, says he wants to be told
if his work is satisfactory. He dreams
of it all night, when it doesn't give him
a nightmare, and he works at it all day.
He longs to be told when it is effective,
but he has to be content with the fact
that, as he puts it, he'd be fired if it were
not satisfactory. AS for me, | design
these doll dresses and other dainty
things, and also arrange them for dis
play. | long for praise when feel that
my labors have been crowned with sue
cess. But, alas! my firm also pursues
the clam policy-perhaps it is the best
policy = in spite of the fact that
I'd work the skin off my fingers to try to
exceed my best work if only that were
praised"

GA CANVAS-BACKED CLAM.
European Lady Travelling in Anne II ica
Thought She Saw That ON the
Bill of Fare.

Travelling on the continent Of Europe
with party of young Americans,
writes Thomas Wentworth Higginson,
in Atlantic was witness of their dismay
at being assaulted from time to time by
friendly English fellow travellers with
such questions as these: rs it not very
lonely in America? Are there any sing
ing birds there? Any wild flowers? Any
bishops? Are there booths in the
streets Of New York? Do people read
English books there? Have they heard
of Ruskin; and how?" These were from
the rank and file of questioners, while a
very cultivated clergyman lost caste
somewhat with our young people by
asking, confidently: "Are Harvard and
Yale both in Boston?" question which
seemed to them as hopelessly benighted
as the remark of lady just returned
from the wonders of the new world,
who had been impressed, like all visit
ors, with the novelties offered in the
way of food at the Baltimore dinner Ia
bles, but still sighed with regret at hav-
ing been obliged to come away without
eating canvas backed clam

LEAD IN INVENTIVE ARTS.
Residents of Connecticut Hold the
Record for Useful Creations Ac-
cOrding to the Records.

The inventiveness of the Yankee has
become proverbial the world over, and
among the Yankees those residing in
Connecticut easily carry off the palm.
During the last 20 years by the patent
office record Connecticut has led every
state in the country in inventiveness,
except in four separate years when it
stood second en the list. There is
scarcely an article in common use about
your house that is not made in Con-
necticut, from the hinges and locks
on the doors to the billiard table, the
clock on your mantel, the sewing ma
chine in the workroom, your silverware,
your gun, your bicycle or automobile,
your piano and piano player and many
such simple things as axes, nails,
kitchen hardware, knives and forks
and needles and chains. If there be
anything that you cannot trace to Con-
necticut you will find that the machin-
cry for making it or the first shaping
of raw material come from that state.
The letter box you pass on the way to
your Office and the typewriter in use
there, the ship in the harbor and the
railroad train you ride in all have the
Connecticut stamp on them somewhere.

STILL DEMAND FOR WHIPS.
Despite the Increasing Use of Auto
mobiles and Electric Cars-Bi
cycle Craze Hurt Trade

To one who is not acquainted with
me extent of the business it seems a
mystery where all the whips go to, says
The Springfield Republican. One local
concern is able to turn out about 10000
whips in single day under favorable
conditions, and it is only one of many
companies. Westfeld, is of course, the
center of the whipmaking industry OF
the world, and there are many horses in
that world Some of the local whip men
have studied the automobile question to
quite an extent, endeavoring to find out
the possible effect upon the whip bust
ness. Some thought few years ago
that the bicycle was responsible in a
measure for the dull times in the whip
business, and it may have had some eff
feet.
At that time there was less demand
for livery teams than previously, and
there was consequently little use for
whips. The bicycle was not SO much in
demand as in former years, but the au-
tomobile and electric cars are taking it's
place. One would suppose the rapid
construction of electric roads all over
the country would tend to injure the
whip trade, but in spite of automobiles
and electric cars the output of whips
continues year after year. One of the
local whip men said recently that he had
no fear of bicycles, automobiles or cleo
trio cars running the whip business.

Indian Meal Mullins.

The directions for these mullins
varies according to the section of the
country where the meal is purchased.
In the south, where the mullins are
made of white, sweet, freshly ground
meal, neither sugar nor eggs are re-
quired, but the yellow meal of the
north needs not only sugar and eggs,
but butter as well, to give it the re-
quisite richness. Beat to a cream in
a warm mixing bowl a quarter cup
each of butter and sugar. Add two
well-beaten eggs and cup of milk
in which an even teaspoonful of soda
has been dissolved. Sift together a
cup and a quarter Of yellow corn meal,
the same amount of wheat -four and
two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar.
Add to the milk and egg preparation
and beat again. Have the muffin tins
piping hot and bake at once in a hot
oven.

Bear Hunt at Close Range

The Ainu bear hunter can put to
shame the best modern sportsman,
who considers a hundred yards off,
with his Winchester, a safe distance
for a shot for such an animal, says the
New York Tribune The Ainu method
is thrilling and dangerous. The bears
spend their winters in caves and holes.
Long poles are pushed inside and if
one comes out he falls an easy victim
to the poisoned arrow; often they are
smoked out. When Bruin is first shot,
being full of pain, he is savage, and
furiously attacks his enemy Being
now at close quarters, the Ainu dis
cards his bow and arrow and prepares
to make a final onslaught upon the
creature. The wounded and enraged
beast rises upright on his launches,
ready to pounce upon his assailant.
The Ainu hunter watches his chance
to make the fatal thrust. At the right
time he rushes point blank into the
animals embrace and plunges his
knife into his body, but does not al
ways escape without a reminder of his
encounter. He is sure to get severely
scratched, frequently scalped, and
sometimes killed.

NOT WHAT WAS EXPECTED.
AcetyIene Gas Was Discovered Dur
ing Experiments for Something
Else; Then by Accident.

Like many other things now in gen.
eral use in commerce and the arts, the
discovery of acetylene gas was due to
accident A Mr.. Wilson, scientific
experimenter, believed that nearly all
metallic oxides could be reduced to a
metallic state by heating them to an
extremely high temperature by the
voltaic arc in the presence OF free
carbon. Aluminium has been success
fully reduced in this way. Mr.. Will
son wished to obtain metallic calcium.
He therefore mixed quantity OF
quicklime with pulverized coke and
brought the mixture to high tenn
perature by the action of the vOltaic
arc. He expected to obtain white
metal, but instead he appeared to pro-
duce nothing but Stag. This was
thrown into the yard one day at noon,
when the boys were having their
luncheon, they picked up these bits Of
Stag and threw them at each other.
One piece fell into pail of water and
produced a bubbling effect and a
strong odor. This attracted Mr.. Will
sons attention, and upon investigation
he found that the strong smelling gas
was extremely inflammable. Further
investigation revealed that it was pure
acetylene gas.

South Building More Mills.

The official report on North Carolina
textile mills, just issued, shows 2S9 in
operation, these being in so counties,
with 44,253 looms and 1,914,137 spindles,
as against 276 mills the year previous,
with 38,501 looms and 1,743,43 spindles.
In spite of the loss caused by the high
price of cotton the southern mills gen
orally are reported in prosperous con-
iition. The development Of this indus
try has been even greater in South Caro-
lima than in North Carolina, with GeOr-
gia, Virginia and Alabama making ex-
cellent progress. If the building of mills
continues at the present rateit will not
be many years before the cotton of the
world is manufactured in the section
where it is grown.-Baltimore Sun.

THE WEATHER IN JANUARY.
Mean Mid-Winter Temperature In
Washington for the Past 33
Years Was 33 Degrees.

The weather bureau has issued bull
letin showing the weather conditions
during the month of January for the
past SO years. The mean normal tenn
perature for the month during that pc
Rod was 33 degrees. The warmest jan
uary was in 1890, when the temperature
averaged "A degrees, and the coolest was

ing January was 76 degrees, which was
reached by the thermometer January IL,
1890. The coolest was January /, 1881,
when the thermometer registered IA de-
grees below zero. The average precip-
itatiOn for the month during the SO years
was $50 inches. The greatest monthly
precipitation was in 1882, when 1903
inches of rain were registered, while in
1872, the smallest record was made
when but 0.23 inches were registered.
The greatest snowfall was on January
25, 1901, when inches fell during the "a
hours. The average number of clear
days during the month for the 80 years
has been 8; the average partly cloudy
days 10, and the average cloudy days II.
The wind has had a general velocity of
68 miles an hour during the month for
the time recorded and the general direc-
ton has been northwest. January 80,
1894, the greatest velocity was obtained
-46 miles per hour, in a northwesterly
direction.

Trade With Switzerland.

Five countries sold more goods to
the Swiss in 1902 than the United
States-Germany, France, Italy, Aus
tria Frontier countries) and Russia.
The grain and petroleum of the latter
country enabled her to supplant the
United States as the fifth furnisher
of goods to this republic. But as a
market for Swiss goods the United
States holds the rank of fourth among
the nations of the world.

General James Longstreet, who died

was x years old. A Georgian told this
story of the old general:
One of the cheerful busy-bodies Of
Gainesville took the general to task
for marrying such young woman.
General, what you got to say for
yo'self?"

replied the general, with twinkle in
his eye. Miss Dortch is % and I'm

Exploits in navigation by small boat
are extending to eastern Europe. Simon
Strabrovsky, hardy Russian fisher
man of Odessa, has just accomplished
the feat of navigating alone in small
sailing boat from that port across the
Black sea to Constantinople and back
putting in at Constanza and Salina on
the return voyage. One popularity OF
the adventure is that Strabrovsky navi-
gated without compass, declaring that
the stars were enough. He received a
sum of 5000 for his exploit.
