IMPORTANT TO
FARMERS!

Freight rates on agricultural lime have
been reduced from LeGore, Md. to all points
on the w. M. R. R. This is of great impor-
lance to you, as il puts you in position TO
get the best land improver and crop grower
on the market at very reasonable prices.
Our lime is shipped hundreds OF miles and
into ten (1O) different states for agricultural
use, and its superior quality has been known
for years. We can manufacture the best lime
ON the market because we have the best
formation of limestone in the East. And we
have had experience enough to know how to
proportion the different kinds or stratas OF
rock so as to produce the best agricultural
lime manufactured.
Ten years ago our lime was used by the
farmers along this road in large quantities,
but the high rates instituted made the price
prohibitive Very reasonable rates are now
in effect and we are lookingl forward to build
ing up very large trade along this line. We
would like to correspond with all farmers who
desire to make more money by improving
their farms and growing better crops. A
postal addressed to US will bring full
particulars.

Like all American women. the duch.
c." of Marlborough has u great pen
chant for the floating veil to which
the British have never really taken.
Her hcadgear invariably boasts It and
like all her garments 1t, too. is purple
or mauve. The story goes that the
king once said to her: Duchess,
what is the idea of these rags you
tie around your hats?" She replied
she always wore one because she
wanted to make quite sure that no
one would take her for any nationality
except that of an American.

MAMMA FALLS FROM SKY.
The Miracles of Old Reenacted in
Turkestan.

More than 90 tons of real mama
Turkestan, to the superstitious awe
Of the natives.
The mama fell in a district almost
bare of trees, and it was eagerly col
lected by the poverty-stricken vii
layers, who ground it into flour and
made cakes of it.
Ignorant of it's natural origin, they
regarded it as a gift from heaven.
AS a matter of fact, mama is the
result of the burrowing of a certain
worm in trees. 1t is a regular article
of commerce in the east, the mama
ash tree being cultivated in Sicily.
But the mama that has just created
so profound an impression in Turkes-
tan is not quite the same.
A high authority on Biblical natural
history states that it IS the work of
worm that only produces this sub
stance under certain climatic condi-
tions, which obtain only about once
in every Is years or so.
These worm casts. when dry, are
very light, and in the present case
lueS were probably cauSnt up by a
whirlwind and carried away to q great
distance.
The falling of a dense shower of
these edible casts would naturally be
regarded by the natives as a wonder.
1t is possible that the Israelites ex-
perienced this while wandering in the
desert, and although the cause was
perfectly natural. to them it was in
effect a direct interpositioa of provi-
dence in their behalf.
The word mama" means in He
brew Il know not" In Turkestan the
word has a similar meaning.
In Australia mama is obtained from
a eucalyptus tree. 1t was formerly
used incidentally in children's all
ments.

SIMPLE oREENBAck SALAD.
Buying $4,000 Apartment House
Small Matter to Hotel Chef.

Catering to the gastronomic fancies
OF New York city is certainly
profitable employment, if the records
of the real estate exchange are to
be believed, says the New York Her
aid. According to them, Gustave
Becker, chef of the Holland house,
purchased recently from the Ger
mania Life Insurance company two
elevator apartment houses at 306 and
30S West Ninety-fourth street. Mr..
Becker paid 100000 for the prop
erty.
When asked to talk about himself
and tell how he accumulated so much
money while devising dishes with
which to tickle the palates of patrons
of the hotel, Mr.. Becker took refuge
behind modest reserve which could
not be broken down.
1t is such a small matter, this
buying of a house or two" he said. .
why should I speak of it? 1t is not
as if | had never before bought prop
erty. Part of this hotel is mine, and
then l own the house in which
live.
~ AAittAAJ ttiAl liant lllOHGy, llldL II
is no great credit for a cook to do
the same. Other chefs have accumu-
lated fortunes and there has not been
so much talk about it. 1t is enough
that | have been fortunate and can
purchase a bit of land and hou9es
when l see a bargain"
1t was learned that Mr.. Becker for
some time has had a considerable in
terest in the hotel where he is en-
ployed. The chefs ability to find bar
gains in real estate is not unknown
to dealers, and it is said he knows
as much about profitable location as
he does about the last delectable'
sauce piquant.
Mr.. Becker admitted with a show
of nonchalance that he owns the fine
apartment house at 204 West Ninety
fourth street, where he has lived for
long time. He seemed surprised
that it should be considered unusual
for chef to own home in fine
residential district

IMPOSING FUNERAL OF BIRD.
Sparrow Buried by Spaniards with
Military Honors.

remarkable was the funeral of q
sparrow in Cuba which was attended
by no fewer than 5000 soldiers, says
the New York Tribune. The story of
this singular event is both curious and
dramatic. At the commencement of
the ten years war the Spaniards chose
the sparrow as their emblem, typi-
Tying the courage and pertinacity with
which they intended to prosecute the
war, while they contemptuously spoke
OF the enemy-the natiyes-as cats"
One day in March, 1869, so runs the
story, a Spanish soldier saw a cat
the rescue, disabled the cat with a
blow from his rife, and took the dy-
ing bird from its mouth.
The tragic event was reported to
the general commanding the Spanish
forces, who promptly gave orders that
the cat should be court-martialed, and
that the sparrow should be inferred
with military honors. All the princi-
pal Officials and residents of Cuba
were invited to the funeral, which the
bishop of Solanz was ordered to con-
duct. A bier was prepared, and the
dead bird was placed on bed of
lilies and roses, the sorrowful tribute
of the officers wives, and to the sound
of mufled drums and the tramp of
6,O00 following soldiers the long pro-
cession wound it's way to the out
skirts of Havana, where the sparrow
was laid to rest with full military hon
ors.
To find a parallel to this singular
homage paid to a bird one has to go
back nearly 1000 years to the days
of Claudius l., fourth Roman en-
peror, when the death of crow
plunged all Rome into mourning. For
many q year the bird had been
great favorite of the citizens, and it's
talents and tricks were a constant
topic of conversation. One day, to
the anger and grief of thousands, the
bird was killed-a crime which cost
the culprit his life-and it was de-
cided to give the crow state fu-
neral. The dead bird was borne to
its grave by a couple of slaves, pre-
ceded by a military band playing
mournful music, and behind the corpse
thousands of mourners, in
cluding the most highly placed and
the Wealthiest of Roman citizens

A NEW KIND OF MONEY.
1t Was Neither Good or Bad, But
Jest "'Bout Middlin'."

Many of the older New Englanders
now living will doubtless remember
the great prevalence of counterfeit
money in circulation during the for
ties and fifties. In fact, no one do
ing business on a large scale could
well afford to dispense with coun-
terfeit bank note detector.
An old gentleman living in Bar
rington. N H., was in possession of
ten-dcllar note which he strongly
suspected to be spurious. Having no
means at hand to assure himself on
the point, he sent the bill in question
to Dover, in care of the local stage
driver, with instructions that he have
It examined at one of the larger stores
OF thai town.
The driver promised to do as he
Was desired, but Enthusiastically for
got to carry out his errand. He was
charged TO remember it a secoud time,
but let it slip his memory once more.
A third time he was admonished with
the utmost particularly, and yet once
more he forgot. Being both ashamed
and afraid to again acknowledge his
thoughtlessness, he determined to
brave it out upon his return.
Well" anxiously inquired the old
gentleman, did they say it was bad
bill?'
We'll. no, not exactly" answered
the driver. hesitatingly.
Not eXactly!" exclaimed the other
in surprised tones. did they tell You
that it was a good one?"
NO, not exactly that, either" re-
sponded the driver, they said it was
bout middlin'."

Green Bay Is Seen at Sunset.

The "Green-ray" is to be seen for
an instant just at the time of disap-
pearance of the setting sun below a
clear horizon. Prof Rambout finds
that the phenomenon can be entirely
accounted for by the generally re-
ceived view of the chromatic disper-
sion of the atmosphere combined with
selective absorption. 1t is not neces-
sary to make elaborate experiments
or to go on a sea voyage in order to
observe the green ray. By fixing
screen and covering the focal plate
of telescope, or better still, dia-
phragm with narrow diametral slit.
green or blue flash can be seen at
the top of the suns disk and a red
fringe at the bottom any time that
the sun is near the horizon and the
observation can be repeated as often
as desired.

VIII Replace SAGE.

With the death of Russell Sage
there is but one person left in all the
country who can dip her hands in her
money bags and say to Wall street;
How much do you want and how
much will you pay?" That person is
Hetty Green, the richest woman in
America, with the possible exception
of Mrs. Russell Sage herself. Even
with Russell Sage living she has re-
peatedly gone to Wall street with her
money when the financial wolves were
ravenlng and cent per cent was IN
the clouds and exacted her merciless
tribute. She is the one of all others
who will replace the veteran Sage in
the Wall street world of finance.

There are always two good vacan-

fitted to fill. One is the post of hair
dresser. The other is the post of cof-
fee-maker.
The speaker, an employment agent,
went on hurriedly:
"If l had sons or daughters they
should all be apprenticed to hairdress-
ers or to coffee making He or she
who can undulate the hair in the Mar
eel wave. he or she who can make

high salary.
'rhe hairdresser who can put in a
fine wave that will last five days is

rich. clear and shimmering on the
surface. with an aromatic oil, should

Forests Essential TO Vests Welfare.
Forests Necessary
To Aid Irrigation

The one great project in which the
Government may be said 10 give an
idea of Government ownership and pa
ternalism Is the reclamation of the
arid lands. upon which the Government
is spending 10000 600 The work of re-

acres have been placed under CuItiva-
ton by settlers. who refund 20 Uncle
Sam the money expended in getting the
water and making the lands produc-
tive.
Forest Reserve Policy.
In connection with the reclamation
of these arid lands, the forest reserve
policy Of the Government has greatly
aided the work. The great forests of
the arid States and Territories are
guarded with jealous eyes by officers
of the Government, for it is the preser-
walton OF the forests that makes sue
cessful the work of irrigation. one fea-
ture of the reclamation service is the
