SERVE MEALS PIPING HOT.
Three Pittsburg wOmeR FIJI "a Long
Felt Want and Are Mak-
ing Ii Pay.

One OF the most unique business en-
terprises in this country was estab-
lished not long ago by three Pittsburg
women. Something like year ago
they rented a house in one of the
best residence sections of Oakland and
began to prepare and deliver what
they called ready to serve" din
ner. A patent buffet" was con-
structed which would retain heat for
hours. In that ingenious contrivance
these dinners were served. They were
guaranteed to remain fresh, appetite
ing and hot for three hours.
Success was theirs. Housewives
soon took notice and in a short time
those who had heretofore had much
trouble in getting a cook ordered the
meals from these women. The ready
to serve" dinners proved a quick and
easy way out of the dilemma and the
ever troublesome cook was done away
with
The ready to serve" dinner business
Is new feature in nearly every city
in the United States. San Francisco
and fashionable Paris have soundly
established cooking establishments on
the same basis and it has become very
popular. The three women realized a
surprisingly large sum. it is said.

HABITS AND HEALTH.
CrusAdea for Sanitation Hard to Garry
TO Success on Account of
Public Indifference.

It is no easy task to carry to success a
crusade in the interest of public health,
Those who have engaged in such move
ments, says the Baltimore American,
know how many obstacles must be over
come, how many disappointments and
discouragements must be borne with
equanimity before the goal sought is
reached. Public indifference to such
matters is one of the chief obstacles,
and until that is removed there can be
very little hope of results worth hav-
ing. The large majority of people are
fairly healthy, and 1t is difficult to make
such people believe that it is necessary
for them to pay any great amount of at
tention TO laws of sanitation or rules
of hygiene. They eat we'll sleep well,
keep strong and hearty. and hence care
very little for the sanitary condition Of
their surroundings. In truth, 1t is not
always the dirtiest places in city which
are the most unhealthy. In one section
where the cutters run with filthy water.
where the children are thick as hops and
rs dirty as pigs, the mortality is very
low, even less than in sections where
cleanliness is counted next to goodness.

DEER AND SLEEP.
FOresters Say Animals Sleep About
Five Hours I'm Daytime-NOt
at All at Night.

Deer reverse the apparent order OF ma
ture, for they sleep in the daytime and
feed at night, says the Scottish Field.
How much sleep they do take is mat
ter of contention, even among expert
enced stalkers-some say little, others
much. On the whole, we are inclined
to agree with the former, for it has
to be remembered that they chew the
cud when lying down. Two most expe-
rienced and observant foresters, the one
in Argyllshire, the other in Aberdeen
shire, thus gave their opinions: Deer
sleep or rest from about ten or eleven a.
m. to four p. M" Deer sleep from
noon to five p. M"
1t is not uncommon occurrence to
come on deer asleep; stalker in the
Black mount had the rare experience of
coming upon parcel Of seven stays, all
sound asleep. A herd was seen to move
in Glenfeshie, but one stag remained be-
hind, lying motionless. On careful APP
proach he was found to be asleep. Per-
hays, however, the oldest occurrence of
this nature happened in Braemore, When
stalking party, on going up to the
stag which had just been shot, found a
three-year-od close to it fast asleep. In
fact, 1t is by no means rare to get within
yard OF two Of sleeping deer.

IN INTEREST OF INFANTS.
BAttersea Sells City MIX 10 Mothers

Thelr Babies.

Battersea mothers are taking a lively
interest in the weights of their babies.
A weighing machine has been added
to the municipal milk depot estab-
llshed by the borough council for the
better feeding of infants. The she'll
shaped scales In which the infants are
placed are similar to those used by
grocers for weighing -four
At the last fortnightly weighing day
large numbers of proud mothers COM
pared notes after the ceremony.
One lusty Infant. which kicked Wig
orously, had gained nearly two pounds
since the previous weighing day. The
champion baby. aged eight months,
weighed 2S pounds. and the puniest
three-weeks-old infant turned the scale
at six pounds.
Municipal milk, sterilized and human
ized, is being served to 400 mothers
daily. 1t is sent out in neat-looking
cruets, and the total cost of one child's
daily allowance of six. eight or nine
bottles. according TO age, is six cents.
The milk has worked wonders with
the infant health of the neighborhood.
The death rate among Battersea infants
has declined from TO to 90 per 1000
since the establishment of the milk
depot.

PHOTOGRAPHY In THE DARK.
German Professor Says Light Is Not
Needed I'm the Making
of Pictures.

The light is not needed for the
printing of photographs is a discov-
cry which has been made by DR.. Will
helm Oswald, professor of chemistry
in the University of Leipsic. He pro-
duces the required changes in the
sensitized paper by the use of silver
ON negatives treated with a solution
of peroxide of hydrogen. The pres
ence of the silver causes the elements
of the solution to react against each
other. In a very short time in those
places where there is silver in the
negative the solution will disappear;
in the other spots remain. This invis-
ible picture is then transferred to gela-
tine paper and finally developed by
iron sulphate in solution. Gallo acid
is then applied and the result is gen.
uine ink picture DR.. Oswald declares
that in this method the sensitized pa
per will keep indefinitely and the sill
yer can be used over any number of
times He says the process is far
cheaper and quicker than any now in
use, besides requiring no light. BY
1t any design or drawing can be
quickly copied.

AMERICAN ADAPTABILITY.
Admirable Poise of a Chicago Girl I'm
Her Position as First Lady
of India.

Lady Curzon. the vicerine OF India,
stands as a shining example OF the IA
;ility and the adaptability Of the Amer
can woman, says the Kansas City Star.
Occupying position which brings her
in continual contact with royalty, she
bears herself with as much dignity and
distinction as IL she had been born to
the purple. No daughter of the reigning
house OF Great Britain could sustain
herself in the place of Lady Curzon with
more admirable poise than she exhibits
in all of the great functions in which
she Is caleld to figure. Lady Curzon be-
longs to what would be called new
family even in America. She has not
behind her the generations of culture
which many American women can point
to. She was brought up in Chicago, n
town that is conspicuously associated
with the commercial idea. Her acqui-
sitions were not aided by the influence
of hereditary culture. Her achieve
ments are the fruit of keen and active
mind and an agreeable personality un-
der the spur and encouragement of lib
eral advantages. Her accommodation
to the requirements and the opportuni-
ties Of large riches shows the difference
between the British and the American
systems. In England 1t requires cen
turtles to manufacture the sort of ladies'
and gentlemen who are often developed
In this country in a single generation.
