BEAN BILL OF THE HUB
Boston spends n SNUG Pile Each
Year for It's FavOrite
Dish.

More money is spent each year in Boston
in buying baked beans than would buy
the largest battle ship in the United States.
In 1904 the gross receipts OF beans in Bos-
ton were more than as, 900 barrels. In each
barrel are five bushels. The average price
at which these were sold by the whole
salers was 3l.s5 a bushel, and when these
beans were sold again by retailers to their
customers they brought an average of Il
cents a pound. or a grand total of IS sos, 272.
There are other places where beans are
used. but they are not Boston beans and
can never be. unless the man who super
intends their baking happens to have
served an apprenticeship in some OF the
Boston bakeries.
So tremendous has the demand for baked
beans become in Boston that two com
panies have been formed whose business is
to bake beans for restaurants and quick
lunch establishments One OF these com
panies uses an average of 1900 quarts q
week and the other 10000, yet the beans
that these companies bake are but drop
in the bucket compared with the eonsump-
ton OF the city.
The most remarkable feature OF this
remarkable consumption OF beans is that
the demand is steadily increasing. and that
1900 more barrels of beans were sold in
Boston in 1904 than in 1908. There are sea
sons in which the demand for this staple
is greater than others. notably the months
from Thanksgiving to April.
Taking the receipts in Boston for 1904
of 6s, 1872 barrels. that would give the num-
Der of bushels a4S $50, or 1899, 100 quarts,
Weighing p. 1874, 2+O pounds.
Accepting the population Of Boston APP
proximately $4,000, this would give each
inhahitant, men and women, boys. girls
and babies, an average OF thirty-seveu
quarts. These thirty-seven quarts OF beans
would weigh las pounds.-New England

POPE HAS

FORMER VETERAN RESIDENT OF
THIS CITY NOW AT SOLDIERS
HOME At BUFFALO.
Interesting Letter from an Inmate of
the Home To The Editor Of The
RepubIican-very Mild Winter and
the Veterans Have Been Enjoying
Their Opportunities.

The following note to the editor OF
this paper, enclosed with a letter to
the business department of The Re
publican, dated at Buffalo, Wye, April
II, will be of interest to many readers
of the paper las containing information
of at least one former resident of this
city, Mr.. c. |. Pope, now an inmate OF
the home.
Il promised, you remember, to write
you often, but have neglected to do
so. This winter has kept me pretty
busy doing something for the home and
for myself. We have had a very fine
winter. So far there has not been at
any time two inches of snow on the
home reservation and only a few days
of zero weather. Everything around
the home is in fine shape. Cattle are
all fat enough to kill. twenty hogs
large and small, chickens you can't
count and everything o. X. am get
ting ready to go to the mountains and
see if | can find some gold. | have
made me a cart and am all prepared to
start as soon as the snow is off the
ground in the mountains. There is
plenty of gold, copper and coal here
and ] am in hopes we will find enough
to pay lis for our trouble.
"All of the boys from Laramie are
in very good health now. c.. l.. Pope
has been very sick. but is around again.
Good care is all we want and that is
what We get here. There is no reed
of saying anything about the command
err and his wife. for | could not say
enough. There is no complaint to
make. Mr.. Shipley has a smile IN his
face and we think something is up.

WORK BEGUN ON ADDITION

Mr.. Lawn Shade, the contractor, this
morning began work on the addition to
The Republican building, which will
be erected on Third street. adjoining
the present building on the north. The
addition will front twenty-five feet on
Third street and extend westward
~thirty-eight feet. 1t will be one story
high, with basement, to be built of
stone and brick, and will be used *
clusively by The Republican, making
room now greatly needed in the bust
ness. The addition will be connected
with the composing room with a large
archway and with the press room with
large doors, will be heated with steam
and lighted with electricity. The work
will be pushed as rapidly as circum-
lance will permit and will be made
ready for occupancy early in June.

Experiment Slowed Candle Wc-Ia

To :he Editor of the Sun: Sir
Some one in the columns of the Sun
said he shot n candle through a pire
board cne inch thick. and the Sun
advised these who were skeptical to
make the experiment for themselves.
Acting on the SUGGESTION, l took
my old Queen Anne and put about FIVE
fingers OF the best powder in her and
then a candle, and as all TIE boards
out o. doors have about nine feet OF
snow on top of them. l took the bot
tom board of my bunk in the camp
and stuck it in the snow about seven
fathoTs distant and fired.
When l got to the target I found
the candle had struck all right, but it
had not even dir ted the beard and
was flattened out flatter than my
pocketbook after | had bought my
winters rum.
came to the conclusion that some
one was telling the Sun some damn
lies. However, l did not lose the
candle altogether. | scraped it OF.
the board and took it back into the
camp and fried pancakes with it for
my supper.

LITTLE THINGS.

Did you ever notice what an endless
amount Of trouble n strife and worry
can be brought about by the most
tritiing and apparently Insignificant
event Or action? Sometimes a cinder
in the eye does more harm and causes
l1cre Pain than Il bullet in the lung. 1t
has been truthiully said that little
things count. You bet they count.
But, should they? Not always.
Cents make dimes and dimes make
dollars. The ocean is composed OF
drops Of water. Matter is made up of
atoms. These statements are all true
and, so far rs We know, the arrange
ment is beyond criticism. There are,
however, instances wherein small
things count in another and entirely
different direction. For example, great
orations are not composed solely o.
small. words nor do littIe actions make
noble deeds.
A glance, a look, a word, an express
sion can cause great happiness or end.
less pain. 1t is a shame, but 1t is so.
Who is to blame? The man who
does the little thing or the man who
gets offended at it. Well, you may say
it is a case of boss and boss. But is
it? No.
The man who allows himself to be
put out on account of a weakness his
noighbor may have for doing little
things, is, in our estimation a few de-
grees lower than his neighbor.
A man may say or do something he
should not say or do without thinking.
But a man cannot take offense at a
word or action without giving the mat
ter some consideration. So it seems
that the fellow who starts the trouble
stands some show OF being a fool while
the other party is pretty apt to be a
knave. 1t is foolish to give offense-
1t is mean to take it.
There are many kinds of people in
this world. And you can bet your
sweet life that all kinds of people are
going to do all kinds of things. The
individual who a go along without
being disturbed by the conduct of
those about hin is indeed a lucky dog.
Large personalities give no heed to
the doings of their interiors.
When W. contemplate big men we
think of broad avenues and boule-
wards. When We contemplate small
men we think of narrow alleys. The
superior being reminds us of a great
building. The inferior being makes
us think of a garbage box.
1t is great to be big. 1t is oppos-
lite to be small. There are quite a few
Of both kinds-large AMI small-scat-
tered around over the earth.
If we only had more of the tall
building species and less of the gar
bage box tribe. But then what is the
use? We must not take things too
seriously. Somebody might think we
are in earnest.-Guernsey Gazette.

FRESH SALT WATER ICE.

Surface Fresh.

Exposure to the Sun Makes Iceberq's
Surface Fresh.
1t is often asserted by mariners
that the apex of the larger icebergs
are entirely free from saline matter
and that this is conclusive evidence
that the berg originally forms on dry
land. proving the existence of a great
continent around the poles.
1t may not be generally known, how.
ever, says the English Fish Trades
Gazette, that salt water ice II exposed
to heat-to-the summer sun = is
thereby freed from salt.
DR.. Hamer quotes the experience of
Arctic explorers-Nansen and tina
duke Of Abruzzi-who describe
the mineral salts Of sea water as be-
ing separated out like hoar frost upon
the surface when the temperatures of
from 80 degrees to 40 degrees cent
are recorded. and who note the almost
complete freedom from saline taste
of the water obtained from projecting
ice shafts (which have been exposed
to the rays Of the sun during a sum-
mer, and are thus freed from the
greater part of their salt"
