Some clocks get their faces dirty in a

on tue curb. How Is the pay? Well,
that's hard to figure, for we work by
the job. We don't clean clock faces in
winter, SO we make enough In the
summer to last the year round. OF
course sometimes the clocks are taken
out of their cases and repaired in the
shops. Last year cleared $1,000 and
visited only two other cities, Chicago
and Boston. This year I'll make more,
because building operations have grim

Change In Sleeves.
MonAR BRAID is MUCH USED

EiacIs Gloves Are Worn with short

Winter styles have brought about n
very decided change in sleeves. The
pulf at the shoulder g distinctly small

coming TO The average wearor.
There is no doubt that the blouse fas-
tened in the back affords the best op-
portunity for embroidery. One is able
to elaborate the design if the front is
in one piece. Even the use of the yoke
limits the space for the embroidery un-
less it is very narrow one. A new
ana most becoming yoke which does
not take much Of the available space
is one where clusters of tucks start
from the shouldcrs and complete 81
group be,ow the neck line. This short
yoke is very becoming. It is formed
in the sumo way IN The back, and there
are lengthwise tucks down the center
ON each side OF the plait which corre-
spond to The gtoup in the front. The
spaces between them are embroidered
with dots in white, cotton.

We feel that 1t is always in order to
say word about sanitation in The
dairy business, the imperative ueccs-
sity of cleanliness in all that pertains
to the production of milk aud butter.
10 substance is more sen itire t. bad
olors than milk and nothing WIZ ab-
sorj and retain them so we'll Tho gs3-
pei Of cleanliness should begin wltli tho
attire and the personal habits OF the
| man who cares for and milks The cows;
it must he omuipresent in the cow
| barn, always observed in the care OF
all utensils used in the business. The
all too common practice of wetting
the teats of the COW with her own milk
in the milking process is Il dairy sin OF
the worst type, when Il drop OF two Of
vaseline accomplish the same purpose
and viii not innoculate the milk. 1t is
probably stating an unpleasant truth
to say that it Is the introduction Of
COW manure into the milk in the num-
beriess ways which are easily possible
where dirty dairy methods prevail
Which more than any other thing is the
primary cause of bad favored butter.
1t requires not Il little work to keep
the dairy COW ana the methods en-
Irployed in the milking clean, but If one
is not willing TO recognize the lmpop-
tance Of cleanliness in this business he
had better let somebody else keep the

The farmer 10 not always the victim
of the corporations. for he sometimes
gets even with them in good shape.
We lately came across two cases which
proved that the granger knew how to
hold his own with the railroads. One
was n case where there was deep
cut on a mans farm. and the ordinary
snow fence placed on tlie line of the
right of way was insufficient to pre-
vent the cut from filling up with the
snow in winter. For the privilege OF
erecting another fence temporarily out
IN the field some distance from the
other fence the farmer held the road
up for an annual pass for himself.
The other was where a planted grove
Of forest trees adjoined the track, tho

A RIOT of Ink.

Canon Nicholl used to tell how on one
occasion he had visited the famous
house of the Thrales in that suburb Of
London where DR.. Johnson was at
home. Johnson" said the canon in
recalling the visit, ''had occupied two
rooms, and these were left as he last
used them. The sight was an extraor-
binary one, for ink was splashed all
over tho floor and even on the walls.
1t was one of the doctors habits to dip
his pen in ink and then shake It." &,

The word DerricI,.

The word derrick for a machine used
to lift heavy weights is curiously de-
rived from London hangman in the
beginning of the seventeenth century
whose name was Theodore and who Is
often mentioned in old plays. "He
rides circuit with the devil. and Der
rick must be his host, and Tyborne the
inn at which he will light" occurs In
"Ihe Beliman of London" published
in 1616. The name thus corrupted
came afterward to be applied, by an
easy transition. to the gallows and lat
er still to any frame or contrivance re-

PASSING OF THE rRA1l,1n CHICK EN-.

PASSING OF THE PRAIRIE CHICK E1N.
The year 1905 sees the almost total
extinction Of the prairie chicken in
Iowa, Minnesota ana all the eastern
half of Kansas, Nebraska ana the two
Dakotas. This splendid game bird is
disappearing just as did the buffalo and
the passenger pigeon. 1t is simply i'm
possible for il to hold its own With pot
hunters, market shooters, rcpeGUlg and
breechloading shotguEs and tlG utter
Indifference and contempt with which
the American people regard al laws
for the preservation of wild life. We
well recall the days when these birds
contributed not little to the well be-
ing Of the pioneer settlers, when BhCy
were 50 numerous that at times S4oy
were very destructive to the corn eFep
unless 1t was husl;cd carly in the fEtl,
when one could 60 out after rain ia
August with good dog and knock as
many birds over with an OK cad as he
wanted and when it was easy to trap
them by the dozen in the winter in
the corn1elds. In those days prairie
chicken, ployer, mallard ducks and
pickerel, pike and buliheads formed
the staple meat rations OF nearly all
pioneer communities, varied with rab-
bits and venson in winter. The mi
gratory wild fowl-geese and ducks
have not suffered SO much from the
furious onslaught, but year by year
they are more carefully avoiding all
the more densely settled sections of the
west.
