ENGLISH TRAVELLING statesmen
How Their Comfort is Looked After
at the Hotels.
From the Lonisyllle Courier.JournaI.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
travelling men in England have special
dining rooms, special rates and special lots
or things" said H. *. Simmons OF Man
chester, England.
when you go into the lobby of an Eng
lish hotel you may be surprised to lind
great open IRE burning in one end of the
room. Great comfortable chairs VIII be
found about the lobby, and you need not
excIaim If you see several statesmen smok-
ing long pipes and repostng their stockined
feet upon large footstools. Empty shoes
can be found"in many portions of the room
The English lobby is a parlor or sitting
room, a place of comfort, and in no in
stance bears the sim, vanished, embla-
zoned appearance OF your American hostel
ries. When you go to the dining room you
may be surprised to hear the clerk ask II
you are travelling man. If you are you
are ushered into a simply but homely 1ur-
nshed room containing one long table. Ire
apartment IS more like a private dining
room, and everybody is everybody else

The meal is especially served, the wait
erS show especial Difference and Verything
bears a tone OF home life. AS each man
leaves the table he is seen to drop half
penny IN little box. This is an unwritten
law of the land and the money thus col
lected goes TO pay for schools and orphan
ages for the children of travelling statesmen
who die without leaving suitic. ent means
for their support. Several of these schools
and orphanages are maintained throughout
England
, English travelling statesmen take life
easier than do the men following a similar
occupation in America. They never think
of entering a mans store with lighted
cigar, and they would as soon forget to
wear a collar coat as to expect to do
business with a man without having their
shoes carefully polished. All hotels look to
this and a boots gets your shoes each
night marks them with chalk, polishes
them and returns them before you are
awake the next day..

CANE OF THE DANDIEs.
Their Return to Fashion-Sticks
With Pedigrees Rare.

From the London Daily Mall.
The evening dress cane, such as Count
d Orsay carried to the opera, and a thou

with such grace as they could command

lately, and the stick shops of Mayfair are

century Beau Brummel progressed to his
seat with studied, nincing curves of his
Georgian cane.
The opera cane is mostly maIacca with a
plain silver Or gilt head, and is not expen-

is always a certain not inconSiderable sale
for it. and sometimes an exceptio Tally good
specimen Is wanted for present.
The late Austrian ambassador in London
paid G15 for one which he was giving to an
English royal parsonage, and the top of
which was bloodstone overlaid with gold
nligree work. Mr.. w. X. Vanderbilt paid
E12 for one with a round gold top, and two
with tortoise shell handles, given as pres
ents during the coronation festivities, cost
G35 each.
Pedigree" canes are extraordinarily rare.
considering how common they have been
during the past three centuries. They rare

ORIGIN OF THE NAME TEXAS.
Data in Old Geography Leads to Be-
lief That It Came From "Tecas.'


Austin (Texl Correspondence New York Tribune
Edward w. Heusinger of San Antonio mas
lust added to his collection of old and rare
books a geography which was published in
1747.' The maps in this book are remark
ably we'll executed. and are interesting In
that they show the parts Of the world as
they were known at that time. On one OF
the maps the northwestern part of North
America Is shown as parts undiscovered. ;"
Australia was also only partly discovered,
and 1t Is shown as the land of New Hol-
land" with New Guinea and Wan Me
mans Land" now called the Island of Tas-
mania, supposed continent New
Zealand, too. is shown as a partly discov-
cred new land. The Hawaiian Islands hau
not been heard of.
The Atlantic ocean was at that time
called the ~Western ocean" What is now
the Pacific ocean was called the Great
South sea-" and the Caribbean sea was
then known as the North sea-" Another
important map in those days was that OF
Mexico, known as New Spain" and what
is now Texas was then the Province OF
louisiana
The French settlement of "Natchikoches'
is shown, and the countries OF the Natchez
and Apache Indians are indicated. and IL
is interesting to note the source of the RIO
Grande river, then called the Rio de
Norte,' which according to this wonder
full map, rises among some mountains in a
land about where South Dakota now is.
Mr.. Heusinger says one important factor
in the text of this work IS the description
of certain Indian tribes toward the North
river (Rio Grande), known the TIE
cas-" who live in villages" ''Tecas' was
then the name for the reformed Indians
living in the missions, for ii speaks of
them as having embraced Christianity,
and being the more passionate lovers of
the Spaniards, Texas was therefore no
doubt derived from the word ''Tecas," he

Dust Bath for Hens.
Set the hens In place where they can get

corn and clear water and take off every day

One good diet for these chicks, after the
first day or two, is millet seed and oat fake,
with clean water, five times day. Later,

two parts cornmeal, one part middlings, one
part oil meal and meat scraps. with little
powdered eggshen Feed dry.
Look out for rats: they're death to small
chicks. Keep the coop tight.
After the chicks are a week old, let them
out with the hen every day, but not In the
morning when the ground is damp.
Guard against lice. Rub sulphur through
the hens feathers. A little kerosene ap-
piled with the finger will kill lice on the
chicks. Don't let it get into their ears or
eyes.
Put the hens on lighter diet. Whole
corn at night can gradually give place to
ration of two parts wheat and one part
cracked corn. Morning mash may have

Geese are better than hens for Matching

stronger goslings. Eggs require from TWEEN

Keep goslings indoors with their mother

Give them a little green food for two or
three days. then soft chicken-food.
Keep them dry In chilly weather they
must be more closely watched than chicks
Give them plenty of drinking water, but
don't let them swim until older.
Duckl1ngs require similar treatment, with
even greater care as TO diet
Like goslings, they should be starved for
twenty-four hours and then given little
green food. If they are to be fattened vary
the menu each week for three weeks and
frequently afterward for a couple of
months. Get recipes from some good poul-
try man.
If they are to be kept. change diet more
gradually.
Young ducks are very nervous. Move
quietly among them II you wish them to be

Culture Of the Sweet Pea.

The sweet pea requires a rich cool soil.
To make a light soil cooler, dig into 1t
deeply an abundance of rich stable manure.
Dig out trench spade deep, then put
in four to eight inches of rich manure and
work in thoroughly another spade deep.
Rake the surface of this trench fine and
plant the peas, covering about two inches.
After they have come up, and as they grow,
work a little soil from time to time into
the trench and about the roots. In a heavy
soil the trench need be only a few inches
deep but the soil should be much more
deeply trenched when it Is very lights. T.

In the Poultry House.
During April and May the amateur poul-
tryman should hatch out the chickens
which are to be next winters layers. In
a general way, 1t may be stated that the
pullets of the three most common classes
the Asiatt. the Mediterraneans and the
Americans-begin to lay as follows: Asiat
les, six to ten months; Mediterraneans four
to Ave months, and Americans, five to six
months
The pullets Of the French class, such as
the Houdans, begin TO lay in from six to
eight months, and those of the English
class, like the Orpingtons, In from five to
six months, being about like the several
breeds OF the American class in this re-
spect. OF course there is no hard and fast
rule. for Rhode Island reds, which belong
to the American class, have been known to
lay at four months. while Leghorns which
are perhaps the best known OF the Mediter-
ranean fowl, sometimes go six months be-
fore laying an egg. Something depends
upon the strain and much upon the feed
ing and general care.
Why not decide to get rid of the mon
grels this year and keep only pure-hred
fowls in the future? You losing half

Early Vegetables.
The cold frame and the hotbed may still
be needed to hasten some plants for out
door planting, but many seeds and early
plants may be put out In the open ground.
Nothing Is gained by planting before the
ground will work up fine and mellow. Peas
may be planted at any time. Severe freez-
ing will not injure them after they are in
the soil Seeds Of radishes, cabbage tur-
nips lettuce. spinach, etc, may be sown
as soon as heavy freezing Is over; light
freezing will not injure them. Beet, car
rot and parsnp seed may soon follow. Po-
tatoes should not be planted until the
ground has become little warmed, but, as

may be planted soon after II Is safe to plant
