MILLIoNAIRES' SALADS.
A Gardener Who Makes a Business of
Supplying Them.

Somewhere or Long Island there is a
gardener who has hit on wonderful
idea Anybody who has been to a fair
and seen the exhibits sent 10y the million
aires must have been anxious to taste
such vegetables. The gigantic string
beans. the onions and above all. the
beautiful salads must have appealed to
the taste of the most ascetic spectator.
This gardener hit on the idea of sup
plying such things to the tables of those
who could pay high prices even if they
could not afford greenhouses His special
ty is salad and all that he can raise is
brought to an uptown shop whose pro-
prietor weeps that he cannot get more.
Chiccory is not highly popular salad
in this country, as it is likely to be bitter,
but chiccory from his garden is sweet
and tender. Every head, moreover, is ,
to 6 inches in diameter. The center Is
entirely white and crisp and the pale
green leaves about the edge of the head
make the plant appeal as strongly to the
eye as to the taste.
Equally attractive is the color scheme
of the escarole, from the beautiful white
hearts to the long crumpled leaves that
enclose them. The escarole is usually q
inches long and most of ii can be eaten,
which is a contrast to the ordinary es-
carole of commerce. Most of that must
be thrown away
The endies, which are beginning to he
we'll liked here. are better from the gar
den than from any other available to the
masses. 1t is the inability OF this genius
to supply the demand for his products
that distresses the proprietor of this es-
adjustment. His failures in this direc-
tiOn fall heavily on those customers who
must depend on an extra large supply.
So many households leave a standing or
der for the salads that there is rarely
enough for the casual customer. More
to be wondered at than the delicious
taste and attractive appearance of these
salads is the fact that they cost only Il
few cents more than those in the or
binary shOps.-New York Sun

FEW PENNIES IN BUTTE.
People Regard Them as Nuisance and
Take Them to the Postoftice.

\ 12-quart pail will hold all the pen
MES ia Butte Mont. In the money
drawer or cash register of nearly every
business house in Butte there is Il tin
box back in one corner. and in it are
pennies. When the box is full the mer-
chant puts it under his arm and climbs
the hill to the new poStotfice mloads his
accumulation ON Postmaste George Ir-
vim ana carries home stamps for it.
When a child under certain age
comes into store and buys and profferS
pennies in payment, the pennies are
forthwith east into the little box.
At the postottice the purchaser of two
2-ceut stamps receives a penny back
If he has cents coming after buying
a money order he gets two pennies for
it.
AS a general thing the pennies given
ont IN change in the postotiice seldom
get outside the building. Before leaving
the building the owner of the pennies
decides that he or she would rather have
stamps for them, and the exchange is
made.
So the pennies in circulation in Butte
hover about the postofice. Once in
while an arrival from the east scatters
them among several stores. but eventual
ly the little discs find their way to the
pOstoftice. The stores do not make
change i'll pennies in Butte. Some use
postage stamps.
1t has not been so long since pennies
have been given out in change at the
postoffice. Two or three years ago a
man bought n money order at the Butte
poStotfice. He had cents in change
coming - him. but there were no pen
MES with which to pay it, He COM
planned to the n0Stoilice department Mt
Washington, and then came an order di-
rectihg that supply of pennies be ob-
tanned and change made.
Since then there have been pennies in
Butte. Helena and most of the larger of
fees in Montana. But the merchant as
a general thing has little use for pennies
and it will probably he long time be-
fore they come into circulation in this
part of the northwest,
There are no penny newspapers in
Montana. Children always have nickel
to buy candy-sometime more There
are no penny values shown for sale in
Butte.
The merchants think the pennies a
nuisance; the public look at the matter
in the same light, and if it had not been
for a disgruntled buyer of a money or
der. who failed to appreciate that if the
; cents had been coming the other way
nothing would have been said about it,
the probabilities are that pennies would
be fewer in Butte and other Montana
cities than they are today.

Making railroad rates is like play
ing a game of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided,
represent Il pieces used. Every pos
sible move Is studied for its effect on
the general result by skilled traffic
managers. A false move in the max
ing of freight rates may mean the
ruin of a city, Of great manufacture
ing interest, of an agricultural com
munity. Railroads strive to build up
all these so that each may have an
equal chance in the sharp competition
of business. So sensitive to this rival
ry are the railroads that in order to
build up business along their lines they
frequently allow the shipper TO prac
tically dictate rates. Matchmaking has
been matter of development; Of mn
tual concessions for mutual benefit
That is why the railroads Of the Uni
ted States have voluntarily made
freight rates so much lower in this
country than they are on the govern
uent-owned and operated railways Of
Europe and Australia that they are
now the lowest transportation rates in
the world.

Two Columns OF Horsesboes

In the town of Fort Collins, Col, the
village blacksmith, has created Curl
GUS but very appropriate sign. In fact
it represents not only his industry but
the many years in which he has been en-
gagged in it.
On either side of the entrance to the
shop are pillars, which rise several feet
above the roof. From a distance they
resemble box trees with the branches
closely cut, to give them an ornamental
appearance. AS matter of fact, the
columns are composed of discarded
horSeshoes. As each is fully thirty feet
in height and five feet in diameter, a
faint conception may be obtained of the
immense number of shoes utilized in
constructing them, for each column was
build up by laying the shoes one upon
the other with their fiat sides in contact.
Through the center of each column runs
a wooden post, and the novel structure
has been formed by wiring the shoes
to it.
The construction of the sign was be-
gun when the shop was opened for bust
ness. The columns have become too
heavy TO be increased in height. and are
anchored by iron bands to the walls of
the building. -Scientifc American.
