"Soda

In a lower Broadway store. New
York City, where soda dispensers"
are not required to work on Sundays,
the manager says he is able, virtually,
to take his pick of men employed in
this kind of work. The time has gone
by when one boy and the BOSS took
care Of the soda water fountain in a
large drug store and considered it
merely an incident to the days bust
ness. Twelve or fifteen clerks are
kept busy from 0 q. III. until s p. m. III
many of the downtown establish
ments that make a speciality of soda
water trade. Many uptown stores en-
ploy a large number, but when the
hours are longer they work in shifts.
Their wages range from $12 to $40 a
week. They are young men, not boys,
and this year hey refuse to take q po-
sition with Sunday work included If
they can get along without it.-Pitts-

The KiInona Craze.

Everything Japanese is now popu-
lar because of the interest Americans
take in the little nations war with
Russia. Consequently, the kimonas,
which were displaced by more arts
tic styles of negligees, are again in
demand. Lawn, crepon, silk and alba
tross kimonas are s~easonable. The
g~orgeously lowered robes are no long
err c~ountenanced by women Of taste,
who have learned that the Japanese
lady of good birth leaves such glaring
garments to the geisha girl and her
sort, choosing for herself the most
delicate tints. tremendously combined
and utterly lacking ostentatious deco
rations and barbaric ornaments.

Tie Kings Coffee.

King Edward is becoming an inVct-
crate coffee drinker. Wherever he
goes his Egyptian coffee maker, Emin
Abraham. follows with lis little cof-
fee mill, and after luncheon and din
ner, prepares 4 special brew fer His
Majesty and the fortunate few who
+ privileged 10 taste it. Emin is
able to hold this little mill in his
hands when grinding the berries-a
particular kind-and the coffee IS
served in very small cups which have
almost the appearance of egg cups. 1t
is, OF coarse, served by Emin himself
in all the glory OF Oriental drapery.
The people who have tasted the Kings
ciffee are very few. and rot al Ct
those admire the flavor Of it, though
none would dare to say so, knowing
His Majesty has such a high opinion
Of its uuality.-London TatIer.

Senarate UnderSleevea.

Of the separate undersleeves that are
sold many have rut1es falling over tie
lower part, which fits the arm. There
will be a long, close-ftting cuff. and
this may or may not be finished with
rufles around the wrist. Frcm the
top, falling to the top of the cuff, are
deep rufles, made Of different mate
rails to agree with the character Of the
sleeve. One of these sleeves has a
deep lace friil, with another of chiffon
under it at the top. Many are elbow
sleeves. and the top rutfles fall from
the elbow or just above it when they
are on. There are always deep %ruffles,
double and triple, for the sleeves of
gowns, and there are soft puffed
sleeves of chiffon, mousseline, or lace,
with no rufles.

Disense Spots ON Fruit.

Writes a farmer to The Epitomist:
81 have found that from trees with
their roots deep in the subsoil, even
if they fruit freely, neither apples
nor pears satisfy, because disease spots
develop in the fruit when they are on
the verge of ripening, if not before,
rendering them of no value, because
decay so quickly sets in. To have
good fruit. either of apples or pears,
the roots of the trees must be active
surface. fbrous ones, otherwise the
crop will be much reduced in value.
Some sorts are greater offenders than
others, it is true, but ever the best can
be readily spoiled if the conditions are
not right

Incurable Diseases.

Scrofula is liable to exist as a dis
ease in 4 flock, and to permit such
birds to exist is to incur the liability
of having the disease transmitted to
succeeding generations as we'll as to
become contagious. 1t is cheaper and
better to obtain better fowls, first de-
stroying those in the yard. When tu-
mors appear they indicate a diseased
condition of the fowls, which places
them outside of the uses of the farmer.
Tumors, warts, sores and affections
of the skin are peculiar to fowls as
they are to some human individuals.
and come from the same causes, being
almost as difficult to cure. There are
those who attempt to make cures of
such cases, which is wrong. as such
fowls should be destroyed.-Mirror and

I Lose the Kings Letter; ADJ Carried
to Bristol, and Escape.
Almost before daylight we were
afoot, and the first ray Of cold sun
shine found US stepping from the
woods into the plain, where now the
snow was vanish'd and a glistening
coat of rime spread owe all things.
On the far side Of the valley we
entered a wood, thinking by this to
shorten our way, for the road here
took a long bend to eastward. Now.
at first this wood seemed Of no con.
siderable size, but thickened and
spread as we advanced. Twas only,
however, after passing the ridge, and
when daylight began to fail us, that I
became alarmed. For the wood grew
denser, with a tangle Of paths cris-
crossing amid the underground. And
lust then came the low mutter of can
non shaking the earth. We began
to run forward, tripping in the gloom
wei brambles and stumbling into
holes.
For a mile or so this lasted, and
then, without warning, I heard q
sound behind me, and looked back, to
find Della sunk upon the ground.
Jack, here's a to-do!"
whats amiss?"
"Why I am going to swoon"
The words were scarce out. when
there sounded a cracking and snap
ping of twigs ahead, and two figures
came rushing toward us-a man and a
woman. The man carried an infant
in his arms, and though I called on
them to stop, the pair ran by US with
no more notice than If we had been
stones. Only the woman cried, Dear
Lord, save u.s." and wrung her hands
as she passed out of sight.
This is strange conduct" thought
7; but peering down saw that Delia's
face was white and motionless. She
had swooned indeed from WEAKNESS
and hunger. So I took her in my arms
and stumbled forward, hoping to find
the end of the wood Dol For now
the rattle of artillery came louder and
Incessant through the trees and ming
ling with it q multitude of dull shouts
and outcries. At first l was minded
to run after the man and woman, but
on second thought resolved to see the
danger before hiding from it.
The trees in q short while grew
sparser, and between the stems l
marked a rudy light glowing. And
then I came out upon an open space
upon the hillside, with a dip Of earth
in front and beyond a long ridge Of
pines standing up black because of a
red glare behind them, and saw that
this came, not from any setting sun,
but was the light Of 4 conflagration.
The glare danced and quivered in
the sky as I crossed the hollow. 1t
made even Delia's white cheek seem
rosy. Up amid the pines l clambered
and along the ridge to where it broke
off in a steep declivity. And 10! in a
minute I looked down, as 'twere, into
the internal pit.

FatteninC Hogs.

Those who are fattening hogs on
corn as an exclusive diet should
try an experiment in feeding a
variety. Take two lots of hogs,
allowing one lot corn only and the 9th.
er lot a variety, which may include
corn, bran, scalded chopped clover,
skim milk or ground oats. The hogs
will grow much faster and increase
more in weight on the mixed food than
on corn, while the quality of the flesh
will be improved and the cost per
pound of pork will be less than if corn
is Used exclusively. The reason is that
a variety promotes digestion and is
more ~"balanced' in the elements re-
quired by the animals.

Mutton VS.. Wool.

1t Is claimed that mutton at five
cents a pound will pay better than
wool at t~hirty-five cents. Such claim
depends upon conditions. A good meri-
no will pay more in wool than can be
derived from common sheep, while a
breed of mutton sheep will give a
greater profit than can be derived from
sheep that are not bred with an object
to be attained. Farmers who keep
sheep also make a profit in the ma.
nure and in the utilization of the waste
materials consumed, but sheep require
feeding as we'll as other stock, and
should not be expected to seek their
food entirely at any season Of the
year.

in Calves.

This troublesome difficulty is appar-
ent during the winter more than at
any other time, and is due to a vege-
table parasite. 1t is not 4 dangerous
disease, but is far from pleasant. and
as it is contagious, considerable effort
should be made to overcome it. 1t
usually appears on the neck of the an
imals, working toward the face. and
o leaving bare spots. If the trouble
is noted on the calves. treat them at
once by taking n part of carbolic
acid. four parts of glycerin and six
parts of olive oil and mixing thorough
ly. Rub thoroughly into the skin
about the parts infested after first
washing the parts thoroughly with
warm water made soapy with carboiic
soap. Other animals in the barn. es-
pecially calves, should also be washed
with the mixture to prevent contagion.
Wash every other day for ten days.

When to Die Potatoes.

Potatoes are ready for digging as
soon as the tops fall down. 1t is best
to dig them early in the day and al
low them to remain on the ground for
a few hours, when they should be TAX
en- to the barn and stored in q cool,
dark, dry place; but it is not advis-
able to place too many in a single
heap. All diseased or injured potatoes
should be removed from the lot, or
they will have more or less effect
upon the whole, as they will be the
first to decay. Potatoes may be stored
in mounds during the winter, but are
not easily utilized in that condition.

farmers are giving to this subject. Sew.

advancement and improvement shown
along this line. Through u county
and State fairs, and larger expositions,
farmers are coming to recognize the
difference between superior and infer.
ior animals. The agricultural press
has come to be a mighty potent agent
in the work of education. Farmers
and stockmen, particularly, read and
study. The agricultural colleges and
experiment stations are putting much
important information in livestock
work. American farmers are coming
to recognize the value of Improved

you want to clean the house, rake the
droppings down into the trough and
then rake them out the back end into
