Get on Without Them.
Hone for Householders.

, From the New York Tribune.
The right of an owner to say who shall
enjoy the use of his property has never yet
been adequately protected against the ar
rogance of servants, domestic and imported,
but there are signs of better things family
appearing on the horizon The dark ages of
tyranny during which cooks have passed
out pound butter by the firkin
to friends at the kitchen door may even now
be drawing to a close, thanks to the crisis
preciptated by that latest most irresistible
breed of lackey, the chauffeur. who uses his
! masters automobile to entertain his friends
and to tantaliZe the motorcycle policemen.
The offenses of that undesirable citizen
have been grave enough to attract the at
tention of inventors. and there are already
patents pending for chauffeur foolers, dainty
little instruments which, when properly
fastened to an automobile. will either record
the amount of use the car gets during the
. owners absence or lock the gearing, SO
that the chauffeur's sweetheart will have
to walk home.
! Thus beginning has been made which,
we hope. will be the precursor of far
reaching reforms. The greatest poacher on
domestic preserves having been baff1ed, the
Inventors should find little difficulty in
thwarting the hordes of lesser offenders
Let there be invented at once an icebox
which will release only such food supplies
as are needed for immediate consumption
by the household. and a kitchen chair which
automatically collapses at $40 pm, thus
forcing the policeman to think ruefully of
his lonely beat. We leave other needed i'm
provements to those who can take a hint
II the Bridgeport Yankees, who hold the
worlds record for inventing things on the
slightest provocation, will give ear to the
heavy grievances of deprecated household
ers. the payers of other peoples bills, the
world will be sweeter and better. But let
dPliverance come speedily, for hope deferred
maketh the householder's purse look sick.

Tramps' Paradise in Ohio.

From the Columbus Dispatch.
New Vienna. a little town in the south
western part OF the state. at one time
"a mecca for all the tramps in the country,
and Uncle Silas. its marshal. was favor
ably known from Maine to California by
the tramp fraternity" said a former resi-
dent OF that town. Then he explained how
1t happened:
The town lies on the B. & o. S. w,
railroad, and many freights go through
there and stop at water tanks near the
town. When the cold of winter came. the
marshal. carrying lantern, would meet all
the freight trains and escort the trampS 10

and building fire for them he would re-
turn To meet the next freight. Some nights
no would have as nigh as a dozen. One
winter he housed something over 1.1O.
When the council stopped the marshal in
this work he resigned.

No Real Change.

Comptroller Metz, according to the
New York Tribune, said the other
day of bill that he disliked:
~ object to this bill because it
would accomplish nothing. It would
make no real change. It would be like
the case of the actor and the canal
boat captain.
"There was once upon time an
actor, who, after an enforced idle
ness Of two months, was lucky enough
to secure an engagement in a town
twenty-five miles away.
"The case was a hurry-up one. The
actor had to reach the distant town
that night. If he failed to arrive,
then his part would be assigned to
some one else.
"Well, the man patched his worn
boots with patent thread, pinned up
his few belongings in a newspaper
and set out in the early morning on
foot along the towpath. He had only
a few coppers, hence the train was an
impossibility.
"But after the poor fellow had
covered some six or seven miles his
boots gave out, blisters rose on his
feet, fatigue overcame him, and in
despair he threw himself on the grass
beneath a tree.
GAS he lay there in a bitter mood a
canal boat hove in sight. It drew near
slowly, and an idea seized the actor.
Captain, he shouted, rising hur-
riedly. captain, pull up, for the love
of heavenn
'Waal, wot dye want?' said the
captain, as he stopped the boat.
" 1Captain,' said the actor, i
have to get to Quag tonight to play
second heavy in ''The Evil That Men
Do" am footsore and weary, and
can walk no further. If you will as
sist me I will work my passage.
"The captain gave the actor a
kindly nod
"'All right:' he said, Lead the
hoss.'

ton. The Twin Cities, St. Paul and
Minneapolis, are, of course, not in the
same class, as their conjoint popula-
tions are not much greater than the
population Of Washington and less by
100000 than that Of Baltimore. There
has for long been quick transit be-
tween Baltimore and Washington, and
before the end Of the present year
there will be an electric line, running
OH ten or fifteen minutes schedules,
which will make a trip from here to
the national capital and the reverse
only like a ride out into the suburbs
of either city.
Considering the rapidity Of subur
ban development it is not all unrea-
sonable expection that Baltimore and
Washington may grow into touch
within the next twenty years. It Is
highly probable that villages will
spring up all along the trolley route

Washington, D. c., September g.
In connection with its work in de-
termining the unwholesome food stufs
that are being put on the markets and

Of such foods the pure food depart
ment Of the United States Govern
ment is establishing about twenty
food testing laboratories throughout
the country. where samples collected
by it corps Of inspectors can be sent
for examination and analysis.
1T has recently developed that these
inspectors are preparing to make a
thorough investigation Of the quality
Of liquors served in some of the high
class restaurants, with the object Of
aseertaining whether the quality Of
the liquors conforms with the label
on the bottle. Already they have dis
covered that in many such places bot
ties bearing the label Of some high
class and well-knoWn liquor are Of

brand and sold to the unsuspecting
public as the real article.

A. L. Winton and ten men will be en-
ployed to make the tests. DR.. Winton
plans to make thorough examination
Of foods coming under the restrictions
Of the Interstate commerce regula-
tions. This means, for example, that
a baking powder or flavoring extract
manufactured in one state and ship
ped to another for sale will come un-
der the inspection of the Federal pure
food authorities to determine wheth-
er it is pure.
Whether an artifcially bleached
flour should be put under the head Of

as injurious to health, is another
question that the Federal inspectors
will probably determine. A number

work for days without receiv-
ing a sting.
A bee smoker is a necessary
part of every bee keepers out
fit, for with the judicious appli-
cation Of a little smoke even
the crossest bees can be made
to behave and one can do any
thing desired with them. When
opening the hive we first blow
a little smoke into the entrance,
to quiet the sentinels that are
on guard there. We. next take
off the cover carefully and as
we do so, blow little smoke
lover the tops of the frames.
The frames can then be re-
moved and handled as desired,
a little smoke being blown over
the bees occasionally or when
ever they manifest symptoms
but very little practice to han
die the bees with ease, rapidity
and safety, but successful man
agement of these little servants,
to get good returns in honey, is
dependent mainly upon a thor
ough understanding of their
ways and habits. We cannot
make them go to the contrary
to their own instincts, but we
can so arrange the hives,
frames, ETC., so that their in
stincts will compel them to do
just what we want done. In
the application of this principle
lies success in bee keeping.
There are many other phases
of bee keeping which we could
take up with interest did the
time permit. Suffice it to say
that | will gladly secure litera-
ture free, for any one who de-
sires to undertake this fascina-
ting and profitable pastime, if
he will furnish me his name

The Animal Story.

Edwin l.. Sabin in September Lippin-
 cotts
 Criticised though they are-these an- imal stories popular of late in fic- tlon-as being mawkish, supersenti- mental, unnatural. and misinforming. is 1t not better to invest the beast and bird creation with o'er-Ynuch numan- ization rather than with o'er-little?
 Man kills so easily. even so mechan- ically. with never a thought for the agonies of the victims. Mansis the only animal which kills. normally, just for the love of it. Other animals of prey kill to eat or in defense. But it is man who killed thousands of buffalo bulls when they were valueless, simply to sec them stagger and fall; who slaugh- tered the passenger pigeons and fed them to the hogs; who catches far more trout that he can consume, and shoots more ducks than he can give away.
 Step softly as an average man may into a wood merry with bird and squir- rel, and he surely must note the sud- den voices of alarm which herald his presence, the hush which attends his passage, the outburst again, tmidly increasing, when he has gone. For through the wood his reputation is that of murderer, from whom no living thing is safe. He is Man; "varmintp worse than bear and wolf and tiger, snake and hawk.
 Therefore. if the animal story, exag- gerated as it undeniably is, can bring man to look with more friendly and compassionate eye upon his humber cousins, and can interest, especially, the uprising generation, it deserves God-speed despite it's faults.

 No sir, Joshua who made the moon shine" answered the quick witter moun- taineer.
 And it is needless to say that Judge Speer made the sentence as light as he possibly could, saying to his friends in telling the story that wit like that de- served some recompense.
