HEARD AROUND
THE CORRIDORS
BY THE EAyEspKoppER

TNHERE is no race suicide in Los An
geles, and nothing is toJ good for
Los Angeles babies. according to
the figures of clever little travelling
woman who sells infants clothes
throughout the west for some big east
ern firms.
She is Miss A. B. Knickerbocker and
at present she is stopping at the Hol-
lenbeck. 1 met her in the corridor last
evening after hearing "A group of men
say that for six years she had been
coming to Los Angeles in the same line
of business and that she was one of the
most clever and respected business
women in the west.
To look at her one would never guess
her occupation. She is small and dainty
in personal appearance, and has charm
ing manners. A womanly woman, dis
tinctly feminine.
She took me up to her sample room
and showed me the piles and piles of
the datntiest infants clothing made.

from blanket to christening robe.

in strange ways. For instance, there
are the curio CATERERS OF the Santa Cata-
lima Islands OF the coast near Los Angeles.
They outfit at Avalon, where there IL
a large curiosity business. and are taken
to the various islands, often being left
several weeks, spending their time in OPEN

Santa Catalina Channel. The island Of
that name has many old town sites from

carried away. At San Nicolas Island
there are shell mounds q mile in length
and eight or more feet in height, which
the collectors open carefully, taking the
material-skeletons and implements-which
later are sold to the dealers or to some
museum.
San Nicolas Is the most desolate spot

had abundance Of provisions, red wine
and tobacco, and in his daily ten or hfteeu
mile walk up the island he shot sea birds
to supply his larder. Robinson Crusoe
could not have been more alone than this
man, who said his only fear was that some
day he might be blown into the sea-, though
he confessed that he also feared that the

The Campbell system Of dry farm
ing, which was first tried In the semi
arid portions of North Dakota and
about which much has appeared In
newspapers and magazines within the
past year or two, is doing great things
for many portions OF the Western
States, where with rainfall Of but
ten or twelve inches per annum bumper
crops of corn, wheat, beets and other
crops can be grown. This system of
crop culture Is based on the conserva-
ton Of practically all Of the moisture
In the soil through a dust or surface
mulch, and under II as high as forty
bushels Of corn to the acre have been
grown In North Dakota, fifty bushels
Of wheat per acre in western Nebraska.
while better than twenty tons Of beets
have been produced in Colorado. While
this method Of crop culture has little
value In those portions Of the country
where there Is an abundant rainfall, II
does have a tremendous import in all
territory where there is fertility in
the soil, but an annual rainfall Of less
than twenty inches.

Time spent In killing insect pests
must usually be set down as so much
time lost from the constructive work
of improving the filth Of the soil, and
attending to the other needs of the
crops. Occasionally, however, an i'm
proved system of cultivation gets rid
Of our insect enemies at the same time.
This is conspicuously the case in the
method recently proposed by Prof.
Forbes, Of Illinois. for destroying the
corn root louise.
The pest works havoc to both sweet
and field corn. The small brown ant
attends the louise and Is responsible
for carrying it about the field. Pro-
fessor Forbes found that by using a
disk harrow one to three times early
in the spring, before the corn Is plant
ed. from 80 to 95 per cent Of the ants
and corn root lice are destroyed. and
no further treatment is required dur
Ing the season. The peculiar virtues
Of this remedy are that it Is simple,
effective and good for the corn, since
the soil Is thereby put in better state
Of cultivation.

In packing apples for market first as
sort them, SO that they will run uni
form in size and quality. Pack in sound,
clean barrels-barrels with fiat hoops
preferred Turn the upper head down,
take out the lower head and place a
large sheet Of white paper next the
head. then pack the first layer Of apples
with the stem ends upon the head.
Pack the second tier, but reverse the
apples; then I'LL the apples without
bruising the fruit Shake down thor
oughly and ill so full that the head
must be pressed In with lever or bar
rel press: then fasten the head, turn
the barrel over and mark plainly the
name Of the variety contained. Extra
care and labor In packing enhances the
value when selling.

sheen the Market Demands.

Says Western writer on sheep:
The market calls for sheep with dark
face aud legs, and a close fleece Is al
advantage. There never has been a
time when a fair profit could not be
obtained from the keeping Of sheep.
There are in the world to-day 10000, 900
fewer sheep than twelve years ago, and
the consumption Of mutton and wool Is
rapidly increasing, hence 1t is safe to
conclude that sheep to the farmer is a
safe proposition. Do not start on a
large scale; begin low and work up.
The Western farmer does not like to do
this, and you are no exception. You
have never planted the apple because
you did not expect to stay to eat the
fruit You must rush on and do big
things. Do you not know that In the
animal as well as the vegetable world
rapid growth means rapid decay? Plant
tlis live stock business and then give
1t time to strike Its roots deep down,
and after 1t Ii fairly rooted allow the
top to grow.

Don't he Your Husbands Domestic
Servant.

Son't he four Auscaud's Dcmcssfr
Servant.
II there Is any advice that young
wives need to take home to their hearts,
1t Is: Don't let yourself become your
husbands domestic servant"
There Is real need for such advice.
There Is nothing a bride takes such
pleasure and pride in, II she Is a nor
mally constituted woman, as the ar
rangement and conduct of her house
hold affairs. Waiting on her husband,
attending to his creature comforts, bear
ing in mind the wise old adage that
the way to a mans heart Is through
his stomach, she Is too likely to be-
come engrossed In these matters to the
exclusion of others which at the time
seem remote.
1t is a sorry day in married life when
q man awakens to the fact that all that
his wife does for him can be done by
hired labor; not as painstakingly nor
devotedly done, but still done well
enough by some one who comes in to
work.
Many a woman vaunts herself for
years on the skill with which she keeps
her husbands apparel In order, his
home swept and garnished, never think
ing that she so wears herself out In
these smaller things that when he
comes home weary with days labor
he Ands her equally tired and SO quite
unable to brighten his spirits.
Working at such things constantly,
all day and every day, they naturally
become the wife's chief topic Of con-
versation. She finds her husband en-
crossed In his business and asserts for
herself the same right to be engrossed
In what, to her, Is the chief business Of
life.
ri comes not to be seriously inter-
ested In his affairs; he Is certainly not
disposed to take any Of the burden of
her small domestic labors on shoulders
already carrying the weight of provid-
ing for their joint future; and the gulf
between them grows-too often 1t
comes to be impossible.
1t Is the duty Of wife who wishes
to keep her husband interested in her
to, first of all, keep herself interested
in him. To that end she must put upon
the shoulders of others as much Of her
housekeeping as possible.
II she Is to encourage him for the
battle of life she must beware of over
fatigue as Of any other illness. Let
him find her willing, even anxious, to
hear of his struggles and successes
Are they not her own?

rhe Newspaper Habit Assailed.

Prof. +. Peterson of Columbia univer-
sity has advanced the theory that the
habit of daily newspaper reading leads to
mental deterioration. He says that the
man who habitually scans the newspaper,
reading bit here and there and gather
ing disorderly array of unstable impress
sions, is affecting his brain by wearing
out ''rhe faculty of the tissues for perma-
nent registration" and that he Is cultivat-
ing the art of forgetting. At the same
time, DR.. Crichton-Browne, the London
physician, dealing with the same subject,
says that the newspaper is the antidots
to corrosive egotism, and gives the world
wide horizon to the purblind and short
sighted. He adds that If newspapers were
suppressed we should have to enlarge our
lunatic asylums.
