THE DEVILS KITCHEN.

The Devils Kitchen, near Bethesda,
in the northern part of Wales, is the
best known spot in the Welsh noun
tain region. It has only, strictly
speaking, been assembled twice. 1t Is
a deep mountain gorge between two
lofty peaks, and its sides are so pre-
cipitous that they offer little encour-
agement to the mountain climber, how
ever venturesome he may be. Not
withstand1ng the apparent foolhardt-
ness Of the undertaking, several per-
sons have made the attempt. The rope
shown in the cut marks the place
from which q recent climber fell and
lost his life. He was an Englishman
named Hudson, and he had been warn
ed repeatedly of the danger of the as
cent. The authorities have taken
measures to prevent repetition of the
accident

One man with horticultural accom-.
plishments Is turning his knowledge
to account these days in q novel way.
He poses as flower doctor. Patients
are secured by securing the streets
where house plants are displayed in
the windows and Offering to treat those
that present faded appearance.
Il see," he says to the woman who
comes to the door, that your plants
are not up to the mark. Most house
plants have a ragged look in the
spring. These are very fine plants,
and it would be shame to lose them.
With a little attention given them be.

be braced up and made as vigorous
as ever"
Nine times out of ten the man gains
permission to examine the plants, No
body knows Just what he does to them.
To all appearances he doesn't do much
Of anything. He picks off a yellow
leaf here, punches a twig there, and
pokes the earth some place else, and
thus ends the treatment.

gets 10 or 10 cents, according to the
generosity of the householder. Some
times he heals as many "a twenty

How Much Should we Ear.

One of the much discussed questions
of the day on which there are almost
as many opinions as individuals is the
quantity OF food one should eat. The
most reasonable estimate yet made is
probably that which fixes one-twen-
tieth Of the average weight Of the
body as the average daily quantity re-
quired. If you weigh $40 pounds, you
should consume seven pounds of food.
This includes drink as we'll as solid
food. But it is ridiculous to set down
a hard and fast rule. Such a quantity
might kill some, and there is a case on
record of a man wasting away on a
diet of seven or eight pounds of food
a day. He cut down his diet to three
quarters of a pound of liquid and the
same Of solid food, and as result he
grew stout and lived to rine old age.

Dickinson Has Acquitted Herself Well in
Voting for Municipal Ownership Of Water

The citizens of Dickinson acquitted
themselves well in casting their vote for
the city and thus for municipal owner
ship Of the proposed water works. Many
of thoae who voted against the propesi-
ton no doubt did so because thew
thought water works were not needed
at the present time; and quite a number
voted against the same bscause they
did not fully understand the proposition
and were thus misled by the enthusiast
tic opponent. We hope that in due
time those who voted no will agree with
the majority that it is a:,good thing for
Dickinson to W her own water
works. sH ~
When the people voted last Wednes-
day for and against city water works,
they. whether they were,ssaware OF; il. Of
not, at the same time cast their vote for
or against the likelihood of some big
graft. For rest assured, il. the vote had
resulted in nay.-if bonds had been de-
feated,-some private individual would
have secured a franchise for a long term
of years to supply Dickinson with water.
The city would then annually have to
pay this private concern a water rent
equal to if not more than the interest on
the money the city will have to borrow
to build the same herself. -.
Now, since the city has voted to W
her own water works. let the city council
carry out the wishes of the people in a
careful and yet energetic manner, and
in such a way that all may derive a
benefit from the same. Let there be. no

Let US get at carrying out the decision
OF the people in a thoroughly business
like way and make the water works

the CITY with free water, thus saving the
people in taxes, which would have to be

GOOD HORSES
Are in Demand and Bring Satisfactory
Prices.

A Chicago authority on horses says:
While there is comparative dullness in
the general horse trade. owing to the
summer season when business is expec.
ted to be light, there is really a good
deal of life in the trade and the demand
for good horses in Chicago is very
strong, with prices actually higher than
during what is supposed TO be the best
period Of the year. A Chicago dealer
said he had to pay 5000! in the country a
few days ago for a pair Of we'll matched
drivers. and, notwithstanding the craze
for automobiles, there never was a
stronger demand for choice driving
horses.
The fact seems to be that a larger
number of people who are being carried
away by the machine craze never did
own horses, while those who love and
appreciate good equine quality are
harder to. suit than ever. "Price doesn't
seem to. make any difference" said a
dealer. "f we can find a perfectly
matched pair of the right Sort"
Draft horses prices also hold up as
tonishingly. 1t will take years for
breeders to catch up with the increasing
demand for choice chunks and heavy
drafters of first quality.
Buyers are taking all good shaped

horses in a class at satisfactory prices.
Good express horses and draft horses
are selling better than any other kind.
Medium or common drivers are slow
sale and losing money. Ia fact, any
kind of a common horse is slow sale and
shippers are advised to let commoner
kinds alone for the present.
The trade looks for a good summer
business for all classes of good shaped
horses, particularly on good express
horses and draft horses.
