In Old New York.

1t is the custom of the New York
papers to sneer at the unsophisticated
doings of the people in other parts Of
tho country. Apparently, however,
judging from the revelations made in
the evidence of Col. Mann in the libel
case now On trial, many of the most
prominent and wealthy men of the
metropolis were the easiest kinds of
easy marks for parties who merely
proposed to write them up favorably
or unfavorably, according as they paid
out their cash, generously or not 1t
is marvellous to read how easy it was
to get large sums of money ostensibly
as loans or in return for certificates
of stock whose value bore no proper
proportion to the money paid out.
That the leaders Of New York society
should have been held up in this way
argues i'll for their common sense, and
at the same time shows the total lack
of real value to the utterances of the
so-called society journal.-Pittsburg

FOOD HELPS
In Management of a r. R.

Speaking of food a railroad man
says:
my work puts me out in all kinds of
weather, subject to irregular hours for
meals and compelled to eat all kinds of
food.
For 7 years I was constantly trou-
bled with indigestion, caused by eating
heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy, poorly
cooked food, such as are most accessi-
BILE to men in my business. Generally
each meal or lunch was followed by
distressing pains and burning sensa-'
tons in my stomach, which destroyed
my sleep and almost untitled me for
work My brain was so muddy and
foggy that it was hard for me to dis
charge my duties properly.
This lasted till about year ago,
when my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food by a newspaper ad.
and / concluded to try it. Since then
have used Grape-Nuts at nearly ev-
cry meal and sometimes between
meals. We railroad men have little
chance to prepare our food in our ca
booses and l fin& Grape-Nuts mighty
handy for it is ready cooked.
ITO make long story short. Grape
Nuts has made new man Of me. /
have no more burning distress in my
stomach, nor any other symptom of in
digestion. I can digest anything SO

Monday we put four men in the pr

The result was we got out sixteeI

is to blame for this? 1t can not be the

you have arranged for like number
of teams. Every one comes; the bal
ance of those that were to come or
Monday. Now what is the trouble.
Too many teams for the number of phi
hands. You cannot send them home

take the money and hire the SAINT
teams for $3.50 per day. Mr.. Cullen
my neighbor, has the county work and
Is hauling from the same pit. Can he
get men? Yes, by the dozen. Ht
has no phone, and 1 sometimes call OF
men or tell them when he wants then
to work. Last night l called mar
for him. / wanted to know of the mar
what he was doing. He said not much
of anything. Then I said, can yor
work the roads tomorrow? Well, he
had not bought a farm, nor married a
wife, and it was amusing to hear him

work on the county roads. A sudden
change came at that time. Yes! ]
promised Cullen to haul few days
for him. At the other end of the
phone he was saying 81 can work fol
you at any time"
Now to the men who made the Roa6
law: Why not give the supervisor
the same chance with the other fellow
The railroad companies are paying mer
in my road district $3.50 for ten hours
labor with man and team. They sell
the work to the lowest bidder. "Come

The "change of life" is

apoplexy, or congestion
of any organ, the ten

Never sweep the nursery with an or.
binary broom, as 1t raises too much
dust. A soft hair broom should be
used or else a flannel bag put over the
regular broom, says the Boston Herald.
At least every other day the rugs
should be taken up and shaken out
doors and the floor wiped up with a
damp cloth, adding a few drops Of
carbolic acid or some other mild dis
infectant to the water in which. the
cloth is dampened. Never under any
circumstances use a feather buster in
the nursery. All the furniture, wood
work and pictures should be busted
every day with a damp cloth, being
careful to dust behind the pictures as
we'll as the other parts. Every week
or two dust down the walls with a
damp cloth tied on to a broom. Cover
the crib and bed with a large sheet
when the room Is swept and remove
all the lighter pieces Of furniture after
they have been wiped off while the
room is being cleaned. At least twice
a day the nursery windows should be
opened, both top and bottom, for fully
half an hour and the room fairly food
ed with fresh air and sunshine.

FALL GARDENiNG.]

How to Prune Shrubs and Care For
~FIovvering Plants.
In the fall gather up and remove all
the debris which has collected in the
dower beds. Cut down the dead stalks.
Of the perennials and pull up what is
left of the ANNALS and burn all refuse
Of this kind + bury it where it will
decay and help to fertilize the soil of,
the garden, says the New York Trib-
ane.
There may be no flowers in the win
Ter, but neatness should prevail where
they have been. Store away flower
stakes and trellises and give to all
plants needed protection.
Now is a good time to prune any
shrubs which were neglected during
the summer when they were making
growth. If too thick, thin them out,
30 that the branches you leave may
have room for healthy development.
Remove all weak and injured wood.
If the plant be awkward in shape,
trim it to symmetrical form, but be
sure Of the character Of your plant.
Prune no shrub in the fall which
blooms in spring from buds formed
this season. Only plants which pro-
iuce flowers on a growth Of branches
made next spring should be pruned
now.
Cut the clematis to within two Or
three feet of the ground, lay on the
ground what you leave and cover 1t
we'll.
Put about all herbaceous
plants. It not only furnishes a sort
of protection, but it's fertilizing prop
critics are set free by fall rains and
are absorbed by the soil, to the ben
eft Of the, plant. In spring what is left
can be dug into the soil.
Plants in the window garden find this
a critical season. Aim to keep the
temperature Of the room low and to
give them all possible fresh air. Be
careful about overwhelming and use no
fertilizer.
Fuchsias will have completed their
work for the season and should be
dried off gradually to get them ready
for the cellar, whittier they should be
taken by the list of December, to re-
main until the list of March. Give less
and less water while they remain up
stairs. If the foliage drops, the plants
will not suffer. Plants out Of doors
drop their leaves in the autumn, so you
are trying to treat them as nature
treats them. Chrysanthemums should
be treated likewise.
All cracks and crevices must be closed
at the windows where plants are to be
kept as a wise ounce of prevention
against the entrance of frost.

How to Clean Cut Glass.

From the Berkshire hills comes the
sand suitable for cut glass. Fine glass
needs constant care, says the Ladies'
World. A small quantity Of muriatic
acid may be poured into glasses that
have become discolored. After allow
ing the acid to remain a short time fill
up the glasses with water. They will
soon become bright and clear. Potato
parings may be utilized for cleaning
glass to great advantage. Place the
parings In a dish and allow them to
remain four or five hours, then wash
the dish with warm soapsuds. Wipe
the dish dry as soon as washed. A
stiff brush may be used if dust has
collected in the cut glass.
