SHE HAS SOLVED PROBLEM.
Dish Washing in This Home Comes
Only Once Week.

Do come and have a peep at my
sewing society trooped in. A quick,
eyed spinster counted over a hundred
utensils hanging along walls and
shelves. What on earth do you want
with so much ware?' she inquired.
"Only three in your family, and you
have enough vessels to cook for
hotel" The hostess explained: well,
you know servants are very hard to
get-and harder to keep-so l do all
my own cooking. / do not care to
potwrestle every day, SO I laid in
enough vessels to last a week; then 1

washwoman, in scrubbing every.
thing"
This young woman shed light, and
now several members of the sewing
society are laying in great quantities
of pots and kettles, says the New
York Press. "Why not?" they say.
1--WE have our clothes washed once a
week. Why sling pots or kettles every
day or three times day." The ma
iron does not hesitate to tell that
all her china, glass and table ware
are handled in the same way-washed
once week. She has over a gross
each of cups, saucers, plates, knives,
forks, spoons, etc., and Mary rather
enjoys the novel task of cleaning so
many pretty things every Monday, for
she receives two dollars

Few FORGED Autographs.

1t is mistaken idea that there are
many forged autographs. So far prices
are not sufficiently large to pay for the
time and labor involved in making
clever forgeries, and should such
forgeries exist they would readily be-
detected by the experts. for with an
autograph that commands very high
price an exact record is demanded of
its owner and ownership, which passes
from owner to owner.

1t shows Him Taking n Fence on
Hunter-Has Been Copied Widely.
The most widely published and best
known photograph in existence is said
to be that of President Roosevelt tax
ing fence on his favorite hunter, says
the New York Sun. This has been
printed in almost every paper and mag
azine in the world which uses half
tones, and the sales from it have al
ready amounted to more than $4,000.
making it the most profitable photo
graph ever taken.
Nearly 5000 copies have been signed
by the President to be used as special
gifts, and the demand for it wherever
it has been placed on sale has been
steady during the three and half
years since 1t was made.
1t was made with a shutter that
opened and closed in one fifteen-hun-
dredth part of a second. The President,
accompanied by an orderly, left the
cabinet meeting one morning and join
ed the photographer at Chevy Chase in
the suburbs of Washington. 1t was
necessary for the President to force his
horse over the fence a dozen times be-
fore successful picture was taken.
President Roosevelt is probably the
most photographed man in the world,
with the possible exception of Emperor
William. and photographers assert I'M
reservedly that he is most difficult to
pose. He Is nervous and is often
snapped in what might seem hit or
miss style, but every picture ever taken
of him is thoroughly characteristic.

And then there was long pause I'M

1t was one of the werl-known letters

she laughed and danced around old

what caused her sudden happiness.
Just then George came in, and
Alma's arms were around his neck be-
fore he had closed the door.
He put box on the table and be-
gan to unwind the blanket in which it
was wrapped.
Peter, who was watching him close

verely injured. The wind reached a
velocity of about ninety miles an hour
and was accompanied by terrific rain
and lightning. The village of Joice,
Iowa, was wrecked by the wind and
one person killed and many injured.
Twenty or more buildings were IN
rooted At Marshalltown a severe
windstorm, accompanied by hail, lev
eled corn, blew down loaded fruit trees,
and did much other damage. Shipping
at Clear Lake and many cottages were
destroyed. A half dozen barns and four
houses near Rockwell were demolished,
and the roof was blown from the Cath
Ollie church at Rockwell Many houses
were destroyed in Winona and the roofs
were torn off twenty large factory
buildings. The lighting plant was
wrecked, leaving the town in darkness.
The power house of the local street
car company was put out of commits
sion. The cars in the streets were over
against the side of a store. Fronts of
the stores were blown in and the wind
carried all kinds of stock from the
shelves and counters.
A severe hailstorm practically devas-
tated the corn crop in the western
townships of Peoria county, ILL.,, and
the east tier of townships in Knox
county. Hailstones twelve inches in
circumference cut the blades from the
corn as keenly as if the stalks had been
trimmed with a knife. Thirty thousand
acres of corn is completely ruined. The
loss is estimated at $1,000,000 to corn
alone in Peoria and Knox counties. A
fifty mile an hour wind blew dur
ing the storm. The large hailstones
broke hundreds of windows and the
strong wind uprooted trees and moved
farm houses and barns from their
foundations.
At Havana, ILL.,, Miss Margaret Lem
niger, 16-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Leininger of Mason City,
is dead, the result of being struck by
lightning during the storm. At Pana,
Ill.,, lightning killed Frank Henderson
and Frank McMullen. Property valued
at $4,000 was destroyed. Corn was
stripped by the heavy hail, barns burn
ed, and hay stacks thrown over the
fields. A terrific electrical storm, ac-
companied by cyclone, passed over

QUEER ESKIMO CUSTOMS.
Festival for the Dead Is Held Every
Year Before Christmas.

Festival for the Dead Is Held Every
Year Before Christmas.
The natives of the Yukon River re-
gion hold festival of the dead every
year shortly before Christmas and a
greater festival at intervals of several
years, says the New York Tribune. At
these seasons food, drink and clothes
are provided for the returning ghosts
In the clubhouse Of the village, which
Is Illuminated for the occasion with oil
lamps Every man or woman who
wishes to honor a dead friend sets up
a lamp on a stand in front of the place
which the dead one used to occupy in
the clubhouse. These lamps, filled with
seal oil, are kept burning day and
night, until the festival is over. They
are believed to light the shades on
their return to their old home and
back again to the land of the dead. If
any one fails to put up lamp in the
clubhouse and to keep it burning, the
shade whom he or she desires to honor
could not find its way to the place, and

When a person has been much dis
liked his ghost is sometimes purposely
ignored, and that is deemed the sever

upon him. After the songs of invita-
ton to the dead have been sung the
givers of the feast takes a small por-
ton of food from every dish and casts

then each pours little water on the
floor so that it runsthrough the cracks.
In this way they believe that the spir-
itual essence Of all the food and water
is conveyed to the souls. With songs
and dances the feast comes to an end
and the ghosts are dismissed to their
own place. The dancers dance, not
only in the clubhouse, but also at the
graves, and on the ice if the dead met
their deaths by drowning.

Wolf Teeth.

The old superstition about wolf
teeth in horses is still considered with
a good deal of respect by some people.
Many horse troubles are attributed to
these supernumerary teeth, when in re-
atty the trouble comes from another
source. Competent authorities say that
wolf teeth never cause eye troubles
or blindness and do no harm unless
they injure the cheek or the tongue
by being out of position so that the
bit hurts the mouth Shedding of the
molar teeth sometimes causes sore
eyes, which is believed to be wolf
teeth. We do not believe in the bar
barous custom of punching out the
teeth unless a competent veterinarian
advises IT.

GREAT WEALTH OF TURKEY.
Is Richest Country on Globe For 1t,

Is Richest Country on Globe For TIA
Size.
Turkey, believe, Is the richest
country on the globe for its size" said
Ernest A. Magnifico, American vice
consul at Smyrna, Turkey
There are copper mines, zinc mines,
lead mines and gold and silver mines
to be found in abundance in Turkey,
but they remain undeveloped because
no one can get concession from the
government to work them" continued
Mr.. Magnifieo. Foreign capital Is
afraid to enter Turkey, and the indus
try of the country and the population,
l believe, are decreasing yearly. But
this cannot last forever. The people,
for centuries under the yoke of re-
straint, are beginning to throw of
their burden and are awaking to the
possibilities of the future
Ten years ago 80 per cent of the
people were ignorant of the utility of
public schools, and parents were con-
tent to allow their children to grow
up without education, as they had
done before them. Now schools are
springing up everywhere. even in the
rural districts, and the people are be-
coming alive to their true interests
They are taking an interest In politics
and government affairs, and it is not
a very far step from education and
zeal in politics to active participation
in the running of the government.
"Agriculturally Turkey is the most
fertile spot in the world Anything
can be grown there. The principal
products are wheat and barley, nearly
all of which is shipped to England.
Smyrna is a city of 100000 population
and is the largest export city on the
Mediterranean. which is saying a good
deal when one remembers that Genoa
and Naples are on that sea. There are
few manufacturing establishments
there and no machinery is used. What
manufacturing is done is by hand.
Smyrna rugs. of course, are famous the
world over, and many of the people are
engaged in making them. Washing

sary to dry hay excessively before

this method entirely wrong. The nat

drying makes the hay dry and woody,
and removes a large part of its nat
