or q haunch Of venison from the deer
that has been In another corner for an

market. Or, II 1t be a mountain sheep
or a goat that the fancy Graves, the
same opportunity is offered for selec-
ton. The animals appear just as they
did In life, and the person who visits
the place for the first time Is apt to
imagine himself in a menagerie rather
than a market.
The flavor and quality Of the game
under such conditions Is said to be un-
excealed. The freezing process and the
length Of time that Is allowed to elapse
between the killing and eating Of the
animal seem to impart to the flesh a
tenderness and ripeness that are char
acteristic.
The market attracts attention to its
location by placing ON the sidewalk be-
fore It's door, Just as the cigar man puts
out his wooden Indian. bear, a moose,
a stag or some other animal from its
stock In trade. Last season the same
bear was used for the purpose every
day for five months, and was then cut
mp into steaks that were pronounced
to be the most delicious that had ever
been eaten in locality that Is famous
for its well-flavored bear steaks.

The song Of the shirt.


The Song Of the shirt.
With Fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, In unwomanly raR
Plying her needle and thread.
Stitch, stitch, stitch!
In poverty, hunger and dirt,
And still with voice of dolorous pitch
She sang the "Sonx of the Shirt"
20 men with sisters dear!
o men with mothers and wivesl
1t is not linen you're wearing out,
But human creatures Mveai
Stitch, stitch, stitch!
In poverty, hunge rand dirt;
Sewing at once, with double thread,
A shroud as well al q shirt.
Work, work, work!
My labor never flags.
And what are its wages? A bed Of straw.
A crust of bread and rags,
That shattered roof and this naked floor,
A table, a broken chair
And wall 80 blank my shadow I thank
For sometimes falling there.
oh, but for one short hour
A respite, however brief
No blessed leisure for love or hope,
But only time for grief.
A little weeping would ease my heart
But in their briny bed
My tears must stop, for every drop
flinders needle and threadv r.
With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, In unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread.
Stitch, stitch, stitch
In poverty, hunger and dirt.
And still with a voice of dolorous pitch
Would that its tone could reach the
rich !
She sang this Song of the Shirt

HOW WAX TAPERS ARE MADE.

The Manufacture of Night Candles
and Paradaned Paper.
In the manufacture Of wax matches
and the long and slender tapers which
are known as rats de cave (cellar rats)
the method introduced into France by
Pierre Blesmlare In the middle Of the
seventeenth century Is still In use, says
the Scientific American.
The method Is practiced to-day In the
Carriere factory at Bourg la RENE,
near Paris. The cords Of which the
wick Is composed pass into a basin Of
melted wax heated by a small furnace,
from which they are drawn through a
perforated plate to a large wooden
drum which Is turned slowly by hand
The operation Is repeated two or three
times, the size Of the hole through
which the cord passes being increased
each time. When the waxed cord has
attained the required size it Is wound
on large reels In skeins OF 400 or 500
meters (about 1900 feet), which are
boxed and shipped to wholesalers. 1t
is also furnished In lengths Of from
to 10 meters 40 to 33 feet) folded as
often as may be required for conven-
lent packing. These tapers are now
used chiefly by wine merchants and
by sections In lighting church candles.
The very short and thick candles call
ed veilleuses, or night candles, are
composed of a mixture of wax and
stearine. The moulding machine differs
considerably from the apparatus used
for ordinary candles, although the prin-
ciple of the operation Is unchanged.
After the little candles have cooled the
attendant removes them from the
moulds and conveys them to women,
who put them into tin cups, which pre-
vent the escape of melted wax during
combustion, and pass them to other
women, who label and pack them.
Paraffined paper is made simply by
drawing long rolls of paper by means
Of a series of cylinders through a
steam heated trough containing a solu-
ton Of paraffine and stearic acid and
thence to a large wooden cylinder ON
which 1t Is rolled.

A UNIQUE MARKET.

1t II In Fairbanks, Alaska, I'm Rich
Tanana District.
The worlds unique game market ID
in Fairbanks, Alaska. Fairbanks is
on the Ohlena river, in the rich Tanana
district, of which 1t Is the thriving
metropolis. It lies close to the arctic
circle and in common with other COM
munities in the valley Of the Yukon has
an average temperature Of about 10
degrees below zero during the months
Of November, December, January, Feb
ruary and March, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. At intervals during
the long winter season the THERMOMETERS
goes as low as 70 degrees below the zero
mark, but such an excessive tempera-
ture Il not absolutely necessary for the
successful operation of the Fairbanks
game market, although, 1t Ii true, the
intensity Of the arctic cold Is the chief
factor in establishing and maintaining
rho towns claim to distinction In the
item of its game market. It Is almost
s,r,erhuous to suggest that the market,
operatin9 as 1t does only during the
months named, Is spared the expense OF
artificial refrigerating apparatus.

WHEELING THE BABY.

Opinions of q Young Lawyer VINO
Trundled a PerambulatOr.
A certain young lawyer, whose busi-
ness connections bring him much in
touch with some corporation interests,
has not had his head swelled by his
rapid rise In the last few years, and
has vetoed some of his wife's ambitions
to climb the social ladder. He has a
baby daughter to whom he Is very
much devoted and occasionally, on a
Sunday afternoon, will take the young
ster for an airing In her perambulator.
A few Sundays ago the lawyer and
his wife were out with the baby car
riage when they met the head Of one
Of the big concerns for which the law
yer holds a retainer walking with a
friend.
IL never was so mortified In my life"
exclaimed the wife, after the magnate
had passed.
"You must not wheel the baby car
riage in public again."
Nonsense" replied the husband. His
further remarks were interrupted by
his brother, who had been hurrying to
Overtake him.
II heard compliment to you just
now, JIM" said the brother. you
know Steele, the traction MANI"
"Just met him." said the lawyer.
$50 did l." said his brother. "He
was talking with his friend about you.
I heard him say, "A very promising
young lawyer-must be decent sort
Of chap, too. He's making lot of
money, but he isn't too proud to push
his own baby carriage. I'll have to
keep an eye on him. Pretty good,
wasn't it,"
The lawyers wife hasn't had any
thing to say about the family dignity
since the incident-New York Globe.

His Idea of a Gentleman.

Cardinal Newman's definition of a
gentleman has probably never been sur
passed. Here 1t is:
1T Is almost the definition of gen.
tleman to say he Is one who never in
ficts pain. He has his eyes on all his
company he is tender toward the BASH
full, gentle toward the distant and mer-
ciful toward the absurd he can recol-
lect to whom he Is speaking; he guards
against unreasonable illusions or topics
which may irritate; he Is seldom promi-
nent in conversation and never weari-
some.
HE makes light Of favors while he
does them and seems to be receiving
when he Is comforting. He never speaks
of himself except when compelled,
never defends himself by a mere re-
tort: he has no care for SANDER or
gossip, Is scrupulous In imputing mo-
tiyes to those who Interfere with him
and interprets everything for the best.
He is never mean or little In his dis
mites. never takes unfair advantage,
never mistakes personalities or sharp
savings for arguments or inslnuates
evil which he dare not say out"

Short SuggestiOns.

Paraffin can be used the second time
to cover jelly and jam If 1t is washed
clean and boiled before being turned
over the fruit again.
Implanted wire netting not only
makes good rest for fat irons when
several thicknesses are used, but is most
effective to clean them on.
One Of the best ways to stop a mouse
hole is to I'll 1t with common laundry
soap. This will prevent mice from
gnawing through again in the same
place.
