FRUGAL AMERICANS ABROAD.
Sleep In Hotels, Eat in Tea Shops and
Have Mania for Labels.

1T Is quite an understood thing
among the class of Americans now in
London" said the manager of one of
the large hotels in the Strand to
Daily Mail representative, Ito use our
hotels only for bed and an address.
Many of them-in fact, the majority
do not even breakfast here, but take
their first meal at a tea shop.
A chief object with them" he added,
lis to get our address on their bags.
1t is the fraud of the label in another
form. They are eager to have hotel
labels pasted on their luggage thing
that annoys most Englishmen excess
sively-and hence the increased size
and more vivid colors of the labels
hotels are using both here and on the
continent"
Even as he spoke a small boy, obvi-
ously American. passed along the cor
ridor with hand satchel about the
size OF small brief bag. 1t was plas-
tered over with parrti-colored labels,
and the pride of the boy in this gaudy
declaration of his knowledge Of Euro
peon hotel life was amusing to witness.
MIR. Benoist said recently that he had
no experience with Americans such as
the four described in the Daily Mail,
because if party of that kind came to
the Princes restaurant he should ex-
pect them to pay for the accommoda-
ton. Many Americans, he said. are
frugal at their meals in the sense that
they do not eat or drink excessively,
but that is from no economical motive.
Americans, as rule, drink less at
their meals than the English.
Another restaurant manager said
that is was true Americans often drank
nothing more than iced water with
their dinner and wind up the evening
with champagne.
An indication of the way in which
the non-drinker at meals is regarded
is given by an incident at one of the
"smartest" restaurants in London. An
American was ordering dinner when he
heard one of the walters say to the
cashier at the pay desk, up canard."
Good idea," said the American. II
shall have duck ALSO" Sorry, SIR" re-
piled the waiter, but there is none"
and the guest ordered something else.
Very shortly afterward he heard again
"Deux canards." Immediately the
American asked to see the manager,
to whom he accused the walters of
favoritisnl, because, while he was told
there was no duck, he had heard two
ordered afterward
The manager had to explain that in
restaurant language ''un canard" was
person who drank water only, and
whose bill was proportionatefy in
creased. Another slang expression is
,garo'-one does not tip"

II. II. ROGERS
TO YOUNG MEN
Get Married Early and Get Ont
and Hustle.

Dont be pesslmist. Believe in
yourself and your country. We are en-
ter'ng upon an era Of development and
prosperity unparalleled in the history
OF the world. The young man who
realizes this fact is the young man who
WILL succeed" said Henry H. Rogers to-
Free Press reporter in Milwaukee
the other day. and that paper added:

Iar ABOVE the crowd everywhere. His

said Mr.. Rogers. Everyone takes a

Inc man doesn't live who does not
covet the esteem of his neighbors. But
what can do? Nothing that could
say would stop the torrent of abuse.
so I say nothing.
inis country is all right. There are
lot OF fellows, soreheads and incom-
petents, standing around the street
corners trying to fight nature. But
tney can't keep this country back.
fhe resources of this great land
nave only been scratched. The next
nifty years will see wonders in the way
OF development that even we do not
dream Of.
That's why I say to you young men,
don't be pessimistic. Get into the fight
and do mans part. There never
were so many opportunities as there
are today.
You hear a heap of fool talk about
there being no chances for young men
today. The trusts have invaded and
preempted every field of endeavor, is
the cry on every hand. Nothing is
further from the truth.
The trusts, so called, have barely
touched the resources that lie waiting
for someone to develop. Better chanc-
es forty years ago? Nonsense. Believe
in yourself. Have something definite
to do and do it. That's ali there is to
success in life.
TOO many young men want success
before they have earned It. They be-
come discouraged before they have
half tried. That's why the shores of
life are strewn with wreckage.
1T is my belief that business in this
country will always be conducted
along cooperative lines. The old days
of dog eat dog are over. But why
should that cause uneasiness? Just
look at this vast country; think of the
million upon millions Of acres that lie
arid and waste in the west. The min
ing resources of this country are at
present the richest in the world, but
men who know tell us that the future
will develop mineral wealth that will
make the present look small and pit
iful. Don't let the trust bugaboo
scare you.
Il believe that a man should have
decided his vocation in life and set
tied down to it in earnest by the time
he Is thirty years Of age.

is that they don't like work. They like

latter IL 1t happens to be more ac-
cessible. Some beekeepers, who
would scorn to sell any but pure
honey, are unconsciously or thought
lessly guilty of adulteration through
neglect at this point. II you doubt
this, notice how the bees cluster
about the nearest moist spot, no mat
ter how much of filth it may con-
tain. The watering trough for stock
may be their gathering place. This
has a twofold objection. The farm
stock is sometimes molested, and the
bees seem to recognize and resent the
intrusion of strange horse, and
runaway is liable to ensue. Again,
many bees are drowned in the deep
water; a shallow dish avoids this
fatality. One of the simplest as we'll
as most convenient devices is to saw
grooves u quarter of an inch deep in
a board. Surround this with a mar
row rim of lath, thereby making
shallow dish. Invert a can of water
over the middle of the board; the
water will trickle down and keep the
grooves full until the supply in the
can is exhausted. The bees will thus
be constantly supplied, with no dan
ger of drowning Bessie l.. Putnam,

After that some went to the other
extreme and construct d their sios
inside of .heir barns and within a
few feet of the rows of cows to be
fed. This was a convenient arrange
ment, but it filled the barn with the
sdor of silage, and this odor got into
the milk. In most cases now the silo
is being built in connection with the
barn, but not inside it. Our illus
tration shows such an arrangement,
that is very good where it is not de-
sired to store hay in the dairy barn.
The silo IS connected with the barn
by means Of a short extension from
the barn. The opening in the silo is
on the inside, and in cold weather
the doors can be shut, and this will
in most instances be enough to keep
the silage from freezing. Through
the open door in this extension is

Bureau Drawers That Stick.

Patrons come to me every day
and say that the drawers of dressers
and other furniture stick fast and
cannot be opened or shut without
great difficulty" said the complaint
man" in a downtown furniture
store. This is a trouble with much
furniture, especially that which is
new, and is especially common in the
spring.
what do we do in such cases?
We simply tell the customers to wet
the surface of bar of common laun-
dry soap and rub it firmly over the
parts of the wood that stick. This
makes the surface smooth and slip
perry, and in nearly all cases the
drawer will slide easily, especially
after it has been opened and shut a
few times.
This also is valuable with doors
which, in new flats, are likely to set
tie or are apt to scrape at the top
as the building settles. Just use
soap on them and save the trouble
of calling in carpenter who will
plane the varnish off.
"China cabinet doors, with curved
glass, cause us a lot of trouble, but
most of the tightness can be reme-
died by the use of soap and a few
applications of sandpaper."

Keep the Garden Busy.

Your chief aim shoul be to Keep

You will always find in the planting
tables sone seful crop that will nil
in where one has been harvested. If
toward the end of the season-say
the middle of August-you have
:lore empty space than you need for
successful sowing, it will pay to fork
over the ground, and SOW white mus
tard, or any green crop that grows
quickly, to be turned under for man
ure. Remember this: An empty
garden is always a weedy one. 1t is
less trouble to SOW such a crop than
it is TO hoe the weeds, and there are
no bad effects. Aim to plant in each
plot as nearly as possible such things
as can be harvested about the same
time. It facilitates the work great
ly. and looks better. Imagine man
uring and forking over three feet,
skipping = or fifteen feet, and
forking three feet more. More time
is wasted than would be necessary to
cultivate a whole plot. T. Scott,
in Garden Magazine.
