So the old man and the young man
made the round of the Bines proper
ties. The former nursed forlorn
little hope of exciting an interest in
the concerns most vital to him; TO
the latter the leisurely tour in the pri-
vate car was sportive prelude to the
serious business of life, as il should
be lived, in the east Considering It
as such he endured it amiably. and in
deed the long August days and the
sharply cool nights were not without
real enjoyment for him.
They awoke one morning to find the
car on siding at the One Girl mine
Coupled to it was another car from
an eastern road that their train had
taken on some time in the night Per
cival noted the car with interest as he
paced beside the track in the cool,
clear air before breakfast The cur
tains were drawn, and the only signs
of life to be observed were at the
kitchen end, where the Whitehead
cook could be seen astir. Grant, por-
ter on the Bines car, told him the other

Shepler, the New York financier, who
was aboard with party of friends
AS Percival and Uncle Peter left
their car for the shaft house after
breakfast, the occupants of the other
car were bestirring themselves.
From one of the open windows a
low but imprisoned voice was ex-
hausting the current idioms of damna-
ton in sweeping dispraise of all land

uttered what were his own sentiments
a month before.
Reaching the shaft house they chat
ted with Pangburn, the superintend-
ent, and then went to the store room
to don blouses and overalls for a
descent into the mine.
For an hour they stayed under
ground, traversing the various levels
and drifts, while Pangburn explained
the later developments of the vein and
showed them where the new Stopping
had been begun.

THE GUEST ROOM.
WAYS BY WHICH ir CAN BE
MADE ATTRACTIVE.
Little Things Easy to Do and Which
Will Add Much to the Comfort
of the Person Occupying
the Chamber.

For several reasons. the guest
room is apt TO be the least attractive
room in the house, writes Elizabeth
Biddle, in the Chicago Inter Ocean.
For instance, il is generally on the
side OF the house which has the least
sunshine. and it is not. as a rule. fit
ted up with the attractive furnishings
which fill the rooms that are more
frequently occupied.
The hostess who wishes to make
her guest feel thoroughly comfortable
may do so for a very small outlay of
money.
First of all, she must have the
room papered with pale yellow or
pink paper. These colors do not alb
sorb the light and will make the room
almost as cheerful as il the sun
shone into it. She will have dainty
ruffied muslin curtains at the window
and a second set of curtains and slip
I covers of some attractive lowered
chintz, matching the wall paper in
color. There should be plenty of
chairs, and a couch If possible An
open fireplace always adds to the
comfort and cheerfulness of a room
II is wise guest who relieves her
hostess of her society for an hour or
two each day. for both need a little
solitude.
Letter writing is always an excel
lent excuse and, as a rule, an anthem
tic one. so it would be a wise plan for
the hostess to provide writing desk
for the guest; one that is well filled
with all the necessary appointments
for writing
There are also many small things
| which may be put into the room that
, add greatly to the comfort of the oc-
cupant. card giving the hours of
arriving and departing trains and
mails, and a laundry list, with the
| day and hour that the messenger will
call for the linen, marked on it, will
be found extremely useful
thoughtful hostess will put a
clock in the room and see that it is
going properly before the guest ar
rives; and she will, of course, place
all the necessary articles on the
dressing table-hair brush. mirror
and comb, whiskbroom, clothes brush,
mirror, powder box and puff. and pin
cushion filled with various sized pins;
the other toilet articles the guest will,
no doubt, bring with her
On a little table near the bed she
will stand a dainty candlestick with
candle and matches, and on this same
| table she will place a small work bas-
ket fitted up with needles, a few
spools of cotton and of silk, an emery
bag, small pincushion, and a silver
celluloid thimble, and small pair of
| scissors.
All this sounds extravagant, but just
try it and see for yourself with how
small an amount of money one can
| provide these additional comforts.
True hospitality is that which gives
guest all the little daily comforts
such as one is apt to have at home,
and then leaves her free, in a great
measure, to come and go as she
| pleases.

Why Music Attracts Spiders.

1t has often been said that spiders
are fond of music. but French inves-
tigator, NJ. Lecaillou. now asserts that
this is not true. He says that their
musical sense must be attributed
merely to greed or to hunger When
a fly is caught in spiders web it
buzzes, and the spider Immediately
makes for the place from which the
buzzing comes. NJ. Lecaillou, by ex-
perimenting with a violin, some flies,
a piano. violoncello and a cornet,
found that only those musical sounds
which resembled the buzzing of the
flies attracted the spiders. The cornet,
for instance, invariably frightened it,
and so did the piano.

CHAPTER IN

n Nj MEETING AND y CLASIIING
AS they stepped from the cage at the
surface Percival became aware of n
group of strangers between him and
the open door of the shaft house
people displaying in dress and manner
the unmistakable stamp of New York.
For part of minute, while the pupils
of his eyes were contracting to the
light, he saw them but vaguely Then.
as his sight cleared, he beheld fore
most in the group, beaming upon him
with an expression of pleased and sur
prised recognition, the girl whose face
and voice had for nearly half a year
peopled his lovers solitude with fair
visions and made its silence to be all
melody.
Had the encounter been anticipated
his composure would perhaps have
failed him. Not a few Of his waking
dreams had sketched this, their second
meeting, and any one of the WAYS it
had pleased him to plan it would as
suredly have found him nervously en-
barrassed. But so wildly improbable
was this reality that not the daringest

ment had been not of her: then. all

father was the trim, fastidiously
dressed man who looked as If he had

presently alone. In the distance they
could see the others following ghostlv

Selling Chicks a Dav OId.

The Matching of chicks in quantitie!
and then selling them direct to poultry
breeders and fanciers is business thai
is developing all over the country
largely doing away with the bother ol
sitting hens and the detail and atten-
ton entailed by operating an incu-
bator. The plan is simplicity itself
Experienced incubator operators put in
substantial Matching plants solely fol
the production and immediate disposi-
tion of chicks direct to poultry people
both amateur and professional. For
the most part the new method possesses
some range in its application. 1t has
been found that day-old chicks will
bear shipment to considerable dis
tance. and that car ride of from ten
to fifteen and twenty hours is not con-
sidered extra hazardous. Prices for
day-old chicks are a matter of barter
between seller and buyer, something
depending on the breeds and strains;
but usually ranging $3.50 and up per
dozen.
There are several establishments in
this country which make this an ex-
elusive business, and enjoy Matching
capacity of from 1000 to 5000 eggs at
a time. All report a healthy demand
for their living product at remunera-
tive prices.

Waterfowl in New England.

Broiler ducks are grown by the thou
sands in several localities of Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and Long Island, as
well as elsewhere, the greatest num-
ber, however. coming from the first
named sections. One farm alone dur.
ing the year just passed marketed 37,-
900 broiler ducks from its plant. But
f, New England is the home or breeding
grounds of the best quality of market
geese sold in this country. The most
careful, the most determined and the
most successful breeders and handlers
of high quality market geese are scat.
tered from Rhode Island to the end of
Massachusetts.
The old-time common or gray goose
has been largely displaced by the state
ly Embden. Toulouse, African and
China species. The Embden and the
Toulouse are the result of union of
the efforts of the French and the Eng
lish. The African, the Hong Kong and
the China geese came, perhaps, from
the Asiatic countries.
Recently, at the Boston Poultry
Show, was exhibited the finest lot of
geese that have been shown in this
country for all time. One pair of
Embden (pure white geese) reached the
enormous weight of IS pounds and the
Toulouse tgray market geese) almost
equaled them in size. Next to these in
quality is the African, so much valued
for the rearing of what are known as
the mongrel geese.
The white Embden, said to have
originated from the visit of swan to
some of the commoner flock of a town
of the same name on the Continent, have
been carefully bred and selected until
they are very large, handsome white
geese, which seem to be valued first
as true-bred variety for the producing
of feathers and market poultry. The
Toulouse that came from France are
fully their equal in every way, except
that the feathers are gray OF mixed
with gray instead of pure white.
What is known as the wild or Can
ada goose, mated with an African, pro-
duces the mongrel goose, SO highly
valued in the Eastern markets from
Thanksgiving through Christmas times.
When the Canada gander and the Afri-
can goose become properly mated they
will be constant one to the other to the
end of their existence. growing each
year one or two broods of mongrel
geese that are ready for market during
Thanksgiving and Christmas times and
dress to weight at this age heavier
than either of the parent pair. The
quality of the meat is excellent, the
price obtained ranging from $2.75 to
"a each. according to the season and
the quality and finish of the individual
specimens themselves.
These, with the Embden, the Tou-
louise and the China geese furnish the
high-priced geese for the winter mar
kets. No one of these of the better
qualities is ever sold for less than 2S to
80 cents per pound, and there is ready
sale for all of them offered at these
prices. In addition to these, thousands
of geese are gathered from as far north

| facturers that the addition of pre-
servative to food does not properly
constitute adulteration because the pre-
servatives added are of greater COM
mercial value than the foods them
selves. Such claim, however, seems
to be notl ing but play upon words.
For instance, benZoate of soda has a
greater commercial value, weight for
weight, than tomatoes. and the claim
has been made that for that reason
its addition to tomatoes actually in
creases the expense of the preparation
Of tomato catsup. AS matter of fact,
however, it permits the tomato pulp
to be prepared in large quantities and
preserved in barrels in much less eX-
pensive way than can be done without
its use. 1t is evident, therefore, that
even though the preservative employed
is more expensive than the substance
to which it is added, the addition is
really made for the purpose of cheap
ening the product. 1t is not for this

try, into New England, where large
fattening yards are conducted. These
yards are large plants with lots, some
thing like the stock yards of the large
cities, only smaller in size. The geese
are placed in the enclosures and fed
for heavyweight and fine finish to be
dressed for market. AS many as 1O,-
900 geese are gathered at one or two
points in Massachusetts, and fed in
this way for the winter markets. 1t
takes several weeks to properly finish
them and new supplies are constantly
coming in to replace those that are
sold off. The profitable demand for
geese of this kind extends over a period
of from nine to twelve weeks, begin
ming just before Thanksgiving and end
ing in January.
No attempt has yet been made in
this country for the excessive fattening
of geese, such as is carried on in Ger
many. those so fattened with us being
only prepared to a finish for roasting
nor has fattening or feeding for the

In these days of so much talis about
pure foods, and with the protective
legislation by Congress on the subject,
the bulletin of the Bureau of Chem
istry, Department of Agriculture, on
"Some Forms of Food Authorizations
and Simple Methods for Their Detec-
tion" is very timely.
Since the middle of the last century
the subject of food adulteration has
attracted n constantly increasing
amount of attention. In this country.
however, very little was done in this
line until about 1880. In 1881 the
Division o. Chemistry began the study
of food adulteration, and since then
has given a great deal OF time to the
subject. Since 1898 the origin and
place of manufacture of the foods
studied by the Bureau have been care
fully noted and special attention also
given to imported foods.
In 1883 the first practicable food
inspection law in the United States was
