AFRICA GOOD FIELD.
Native Market Fine Place to Sell :
Printed Cotton Cloths. (

Q 9 . 8 8 o o O o o Q . o o o o Q .
The African territory of which Fan
zibar is the distributing point CONNER
cially has native population of sew
eral millions and a European popula-
ton of about $500. The native market
now is demanding cotton cloths, both
white and printed cloths, called "khan-
gas" amounts to many hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
At present "khangas" are supplied
almost wholly from the Netherlands.
The size of "khangas" is 2 yards long
by IL yards wide. The designs are
made by local merchants in Africa and
sent to the mills. These designs differ
greatly, as the taste of the natives
is changeable.
At present those most in favor are
pictures of railroad trains and street.
cars, due to the fact that an American
company has installed short railroad
and streetcar line in Zanzibar. The
cost of "khangas" laid down in Zanzi-
bar varies from 81 to IS for twenty
pieces. A large amount of cheap
grade of enamel ware and cutlery is
imported from Germany and Switzer-
land.
In the native up-country trade the
chief demand at present is for copper,
brass and steel ware, which is largely
imported from the United Kingdom of
Great Britain. Most of it is entered
at Mombasa, although $4,000 worth
has entered at Zanzibar for the fiscal
year ended June 80, last.
. Germany practically controls the
entire import trade of British and
German East Africa, including Uganda,
for all classes of goods consumed, ex-
cept white cottons. This is due to the
fact that German firms in MOmbasa
and Zanzibar advance both money and
stocks of goods to Indian and Genoese
traders to make the up-country trips,
allowing them large commissions on
the sales. These goods also come to
the country in German ships, which are
operated under large subsidies from
the German government.
In the European market in Zanzibar
there is limited demand for canned
goods, groceries and furniture, rOlltOp
desks being frequently asked for. The
exports cover all articles usually sent
from tropical regions.
German East Africa is experiment
ing with cotton culture, but not with
marked success, it being very difficult
to secure the proper labor.
There is small demand for agricul-
tural implements. British East Africa
has one fibre mill working, which is

PinOchle.

Seated on two cracker boxes at the
corner tobacco and confectionery
store, two aged and feeble old men sat
doddering over board placed across
their knees.
In the center of the room stood a
cast iron cuspidor choked to the brim
with peanut shells and cigar stubs
while around it in widening circles
were marked the varying degrees of
accuracy of the great army of to-
bacco chewers.
The old men fumbled with their
cards, oblivious to their surroundings.
The cards were filthy. Any unpre-
JUDGED eye could see that they would
be fairly. alive with microbes and
reeking with muck.
The old mems clothes were ragged
and marked with grease spots.
The air was musty with the smell
of stale tobacco and cheap candy.
These were the conditions under
which the great game of pinochle was
played. To this had the great nation
al sport fallen.
Presently one of the old men took
aim at the cuspidor, loosed half a
pint that got the bulls eye, and wiped
off his whiskers.

Here was the shame of p:nochle laid
bare. These were the conditions to be
faced. What is the remedy?
The remedy indeed is at hand, it lies
with the city authorities. Let them APP
point municipal pinochle inspector
for the elevation and publication OF
the great game, and rigidly enforce
an ordinance regulating the conditions
under which it may be played. Com
pei the players to use clean cards,
discard fine cut, get new cuspidors,
and play only amid sanitary surround
ings. Then will the game be restored
to its high standard and flourish like

The House Cleaning Habit.

House cleaning is largely habit.
The thrifty housekeeper gets in the
way of having a general upheavai
twice a year, and she could not dis
pense with 1t. or she thinks she
couldn't. And yet some authorities
declare that the periodical house
cleaning Is an unnecessary infliction.
Their plan is to give one room clean
ing every week. Thus. II there are
seven rooms, each room gets re-
novation every seven weeks and the
house never has an opportunity to
become dirty enough to need trouble

Leaves do not fall from the trees be-
cause they are "dead"-which we may
take as equivalent to saying because
they are no longer receiving the con-
stituents of their being from the sap
and from the air--but as conse-
quence of Il process of growth, which
develops, just at the junction of the

An ingenious New Yorker has in

part of the pastboard disk for milk
bottles which promises to yield him
large fortune. The simple device is
of more practical value than nine
tenths of the larger household patents
upon which thousands of dollars are
annually expended. How many forks,

were ruined in a month before this tab
was discovered; how much matutinal
patience was shattered by the trick

The Razerback Comes Into His Own.
A Chicago packer who knows the
meat business from ranch to restaur-
ant has surprised some people by the
statement that the prize corn-fed hogs
of the west, that figure in the county
fairs and look so impressive In the
pictures, are not nearly so highly
esteemed by the consumer as the acorn
fed porker of Virginia and the south.
Lean and hungry" as any Cassius
the southern razorback learns early to
shift for himself and pick up the best
morsels from the world of food. The
razorback cannot lay claim to long and
lord1y pedigree and does not get his
name in the registry books or his pic
ture in the farm journals. No stall
fed life Of ease for him, no days Of
ease and sleep in the protected pen,
rising and walking only to take his
meals as the feeder urges him to take
another slice. The razorback, in Or
der to save his Bacon" must have
keen ear and swift foot. Some of
them develop speed like racehorse
and are as hard to catch as a sand
country flea.
But though his back may be so sharp
it will cut through fence rail, and his
sides as lean as a Kansas farmer in
drouth time, the razorback has his re-
ward. He feasts on the sweet and sue
culent acorns that fall from the shady
oaks and drinks the pure water OF
limpid country streams. He is free
as the air, and, though he sometimes
goes hungry, it gives him good diges-
ton and keen appetite that the corn
fed, pen pampered western hog never
knows. 1t is pleasure to know that
the world is coming to appreciate the
merits of this creature, who from very
pighood leads the strenuous life.
When the southern hog at last comes
to the knife he dies in good cause.
Men may praise the capon of France,

Don't feed child just to make it
stop crying. If its regular feeding
time has not arrived, search for a wet
cloth, wrinkled part of the shirt,
loose pin or something that may be
depressing the child.
Don't give soothing syrup" to make
a baby sleep. All soothing syrups''
are drug preparations that act by SIM
ply knocking a child into insensibility,
exactly like knockout drops
Don't allow looseness of the bowels
to continue over twelve hours without
medical advice.
Don't be afraid to give the baby a
teaspoonful or two of plain water on
a hot day. 1t relieves thirst.
Don't give the baby tea, coffee, beer,

House Decoration.

The woman who is moving into
new house will do we'll not to furnish
1t completely all at once, or before
she has lived in it for while. Let
her first place such of her old furni-
ture as she wishes to keep, then from
time to time new chair or another
table can be added to fill some vacant
corner
Or it is better to let the corner re-
main bare until she runs across some
thing which will exactly suit the space
to be filled.
1t is far preferable to buy furniture
to suit the apartment than to select
house to fit the furniture, when it can
be done, and, on the other hand, many
a woman has spoiled the interior of
her library in hurrying to a shop to
purchase something chosen for the
number of square feet which it con-
tains rather than for the suitability
or beauty of the object itself.

WiNNEMUCCA TEACHERS
WE'RE CHOSEN MoNCAy

Tie honorable board of school trus-
tees have, with the exception of prin-
cipal, named the lucky candidates for
positions in the Winnemucca school for
the next sci col year.
j. F.. Abel, who has been teaching
70. the past year, did not apply again
this year. The board, expecting to act
on his application favorably, were taken
by surprise when it was learned no ap-
plication had been received from the
past principal. For this reason they were
not in a position to name successor
to Professor Abel, and the matter was
laid over for further discussion.
Over twenty applications for the
principalship have been received and
from these the board will soon select a
candidate.
The teachers as chosen for their re-
spective positions are as follows: Miss
Isabella A. Thomson, vice principal;
Miss Hazel G. Bell, grammar depart
ment; Miss Carrie Choate, first interme-
diate; Miss Minnie Wolf, second inter
mediate; Miss Clara McGonagle, pri-
mary.
