PHANTOM 'PossUM FEAST.
The Evidence Was Convincing, But
the Sensation Was Most
Unsatisfactory.

They were talking about Goods
country" and 'possum hunting, when
Charles Hopkins told this one, says
the Philadelphia Record: can old
darkey knew in North Carolina loved
to go possum hunting by himself. He
always took along little frying pan
and little bag of sweet potatoes.
Whenever he caught a 'possum he
would build fire right there and cook
his catch with his sweet potatoes.
zone night, when he had caught his
animal and was cooking it he fell
asleep before the fire. Another negro,
a youngster, who was also hunting,
but who had caught nothing, scented
the savory dish from afar and followed
his nose until he discovered Uncle
Karey asleep with the 'possum before
him, done to turn. The young darby
sat down and ate the 'possum, while
Uncle Karey dreamed on, and piled
the bones between the old mans feet.
"When the last vestige was gone ne
smeared the gravy from the pan on
the old mans fingers and on MS
mouth. Then he deaprted.
ssThe noise of his going awoke Cn-
Gle Karey and he soliloquized thus:
"sNow, I wonders eff I done ct dat

TO PREVENT DISEASE.
How to Kill the Spores on the Seeds
Without Destroying the
Life of Seed.

Smut, wilt, blight, rot and other dis
eases attack the crops by way OF the
seed. The purpose Of seed treatment
is to kill the spores of disease which
are on the seeds, without injuring the
terminating power of the seed. The
treatments which we recommend pre-
vent disease, hasten maturity and in
crease the yield.
If less than the strength recommend
ed is used, the disease producing spores
will not be destroyed. If a stronger
solution is used the seed will be in
iured or killed. To make the solution,
add 16 ounces avoirdupois Of 40 per
cent" formaldehyde to 40 or As gall
Ions of water.
For wheat, dip, sprinkle and shovel,
spray, or run through dipping ma
chine, indeed, in any way, so that all or
the grains become damp over the en-
tire surface. Avoid using too much so
luton. Too much only softens and
swells the seed and Injuries it. All one
wishes is to kill the smut spores. 1t
takes about three-fourths gallon OF
solution per bushel Of wheat.
In oats, barley and millet, says Prof.
H. S. Dolley, of the North Dakota ex-
pertinent station, the smut spores are
lodged inside the chaff scales. The
treatment must be thorough enough SO
that the solution can soak between the
scales. Dipping is all right for these
grains, but it pays to shovel the grain
over several times to insure the even
distribution Of the liquid. If the
sprinkling and shoveling method is
used, the grain should be shoveled
thoroughly, and be wet up once or
twice. These grains take one and a half
to two gallons per bushel. Dry the
grain by spreading thinly on tight
floor and sow at once.

blue tailor-made cloth suits, and some
afternoon costumes of thinner material.
1t is shade that is very becoming when
becoming at all.
The neckwear for mornings is either
the tailored stock like the waist or a
black tailored stock with snowy turn
over collar and cuffs Turned down
white collars, both plain and embroid-
cred, will be in good style, and very
pretty fancy ribbons are offered to wear
with these, either as four-in-hands or
string ties We trust the neat way OF
dressing the neck with washable collars
will long continue. For dressy wear we
shall have quite lot of white fiuffiness
about the throat, the old-fashioned jabot
again in favor.
One of the new shirt waists, very
smart one, indeed, is green silk with
a glimpse of gray plaid peeping from I'M
der front straps and with the narrow
est of plaid pipings further trims the
front. The stock matches the waist,
green trimmed, with just touch Of
plaid. It is especially attractive in these
mid-autumn days.

Millinery and Other Matters

much the same as last year. Fur hats
are not to be recommended, though
numbers of them are on display; they
are much too heating for comfort and for
the good of ones tresses. Coats of chin
chilla are very fashionable; one may say
only short models appearing; this year
furs are so expensive garments have to
be curtailed.
Cloth for afternoon wear as well as
morning duty is preferred to other ma
terials; for evening satin perhaps is
in the lead, although crepe de chine is al
ways in good style, and light cashemeres
are we'll liked. 1t is the fancy to unite
thin stuffs and heavy, but one cannot
say how long it will last. Long wraps
and short are equally good, but the long,
tight fitting coat is little old. Princess
gowns are very much the thing, If pos
sibly my lady should have one or two in
her wardrobe; but if her figure is not
well proportional she must take great
care that trimmings are disposed to
conceal defects; she may be too long
wasted and slender, then let her have
a bolero to shorten the waist and give
curve where the line is desired. Short
wasted effects will be popular, gen.
orally; not alone in house gowns, but in
wraps and dresses for variaus occasions.
Wide belts are employed to give the
Empire short waist, and some of the
girdles have little sash ends and bows
at top to further the effect. Many waists
are made with girdle attached, and sep
arate ones worn should match the
gown.

bettere0 for general use. 1t is the new
Amazon shape, and trimmed simply and
gracefully with a velvet band, a buckle,
and one dropping plume. This style
does not need. as do SO many of the ultra
hats. a special coiffule, looks well with
either high or low dressing of the hair.
Small hats, in spite of much talk to
the contrary, continue in the favor
shown them this summer. Also we have
the more picturesque quite large chap
eau the Sir Joseph and Gainsborough;
for what woman is there that doesn't
like to be told she looks like a picture,
and must she not win the compliment by
possession of a picture hat? The all
black hat vies with the all white both
returning after a considerable absence.
A little gilt is added to the white hat,
the black may be unrelfeved. Not alone
in gowns are we to see the lavish use OF
lace. but also in hats And surely the
lace hat is very pretty.
Brown, which was threatened with re-
tirement, is still in good style. A red
plume is a great favorite, green fs liked,
an electric blue is coming forward.
Three-piece suits are the best style; the
white blouse, to be worn all winter, will
be varied by the waist of color match
ing the suit For the three-piece suit
nothing is so fashionable as chiffon, and
chiffon in the colors of the day is really
very beautiful.
Chinchilla is the favoTite fur. All
muffs are large and fiat. neck pieces Tery

whose identity is well known to the
government authorities.
The dealer who delivered the girls
into their slavery resides in Chicago
and has woman confederate in
Shanghai, China, who is also known
to the government secret service
agents.
These astounding facts were dis
closed by the local immigration bu-
reau, which received complaint of the
sale of Louise Miller, girl from Mon
real, Canada, to the agent of Chi
Iese official in Shanghai.
Other evidence obtained indicated
that Eva Campeau, Maggie Drouin and
Victoria Stamour, three mattresses
who were induced to come to Chicago
in February, 1901, from Montreal, may
have met the same fate. These girls
were employed in the Hotel de Villa,
Montreal. Two French women stopped
Eat the hotel as guests. They engaged
the girls to come to Chicago and lured
them to resort. The young women
were rescued from the dive and re-
turned to their homes. Later it is re-
ported they again disappeared. The
circumstances of their second disap-
pearance from home are supposed to
have been a second visit from the
French women, who pretended to de-
sire to make reparation and then sent
the girls to China for the dual pur-
pose of getting price OF S5u0 apiece

CERTIFIED MILK.
No Great oStlay Necessary to Equip
the Dairy to Handle That
Quality of Milk.

The more attention give to the sub
ject, the more / am convinced that
brains and not money is the chief re-
Quirement where one would produce
sanitary milk, writes r. A. Pearson, in
the Country Gentleman. The whole
problem is to keep bacteria out of the
milk, and in discussions. of various
means and aids to this end, SO much
prominence has been given to expen-
sive equipment that a good many per-
sons have been led to believe that clean
milk can be produced only where
money is lavishly expended. This is a
serious misunderstanding, and the fact
that sanitary milk can be produced on
an ordinary dairy farm, under the
management of careful, painstaking,
and always present person, even better
than on a farm where many thousands
of dollars have been expended for the
best equipment money can buy, but
which is managed by a person who gives
most of his attention to other matters,
and is present only occasionally, was
strongly impressed upon me few days
ago.
L nave just NlSllSu Tie ldL III VI q ouC-
cessful New York dairyman, where GER
titled milk is being produced for the
New York market. This has long been a
dairy farm, and the owner has herd
of about so splendid Jersey COWS. His
pastures and his buildings are no more
expensive and no better than could be
had by thousands of dairymen. The
principal changes in the equipment and
methods of work which he has made
since beginning to produce certified
milk, instead of making butter, would
not represent more than $500 outlay.
But with careful supervision he is able
to produce milk that shows remarkably
good results in the bacteriologists
laboratory. And the results ARE the
more striking when it is known that
they are better than those being OBJ
tanned at some of our fancy dairy farms
of which much has been printed in agri-
cultural papers.
The dairyman's secret is his inherent
dislike for dirt. His COWS are thorough
ly cleaned before milking, and their I'D
ders and the surrounding parts are
washed The milk vessels are sterilized
by steam in homemade wooden box
in which they are left after sterilization

in an eastern town who scarcely
knows what it is to be addressed az

which is hers by right since for years

whole community as we'll. She lives
in a quiet little hamlet where even the

Chicago.-Recent astounding dis
closures have brought to light the fact
that traffic in human lives has been
going on for some time in this coun-
try and that this city has been the
recruiting point. Young American
girls have been lured from home and
friends under various pretexts and
sold into living deaths in Chinese
harems.
They are employed as secretaries
and travelling companions" with
promises of big wages and the pay
ment of all travelling expenses. Once
within China they are delivered to
those who have paid in advance for
them, only to be hurried to the in
terror beyond the reach of civilization,
to pass their lives in hopeless despair,
the absolute slaves of merciless mas
tiers free from the restraint Of all law
and accountable to no one for their
victims lives.
Local police and federal secret serv-
ice officials who uncovered the opera
lions of those engaged in deporting
the girls were surprised at the
extent and ramifications of the
system they unearthed. Instead
of involving a few women and
the deporting of few girls, it is now
admitted the investigators are on the
track of half score of traffickers,
and the number of girls lured from
home may exceed 100 in Chicago
alone, to say nothing of the extent
of the operations of the ring in other
sections of the United States and Can
ada.
Two of he intended victims OF the
traffic escaped from their captors after
arriving in Shanghai. They told an
officer of the American navy their ex-
periences and about the fate of their
former companions. 1t is possible de-
mands for the liberation of the young
women by the American consul may
make the affair international.
Astounding Facts Disclosed.
FOrty-nine American girls have been
sold into life slavery in Chinese
harems. Most of the white slaves de-
hyered into the hands of Chinese mas
ters are lost to civilization and can
hope for no escape from their bond
age save by suicide. They are help
less prisoners in Chinese interior
towns subject to the whims of man

were enabled to purchase them

The "levee" section of the North
side seems to be the headquarters of
the "slave" traders. Detectives and
secret service officers have investigated
a number of externally unpretentious
houses and have discovered conditions
they never believed could exist. To
step within the portals of these houses
is like being transported to the orient.
Rich rugs, tapestry, Chinese and Jap
anese bric-a-brac, virgin gold and jade
ware studded with diamonds and pre-
cious stones, greet the eye of the Wis
itor.
Lured by Tales of Wealth.
1t is into these dens of splendor that
Cnsuspecting girls have been lured.
Wild tales of the wealth and pleasures
that will be theirs in the orient are
poured into the startled ears of the
girls by women so schooled that the
unsuspecting victims really believe the
glowing promises that are made.
You will find scores OF wealthy
merchants and business men in Chi
nese cities who are far from home"
say the deceivers. ''They are seeking
wives from their own land"
Another story is that wealthy orien-
tails want American companions and
governesses for their children who are
to be trained for college courses in
the big universities of this coAatry.
Traffic Surprise.
