A PORTABLE FENCE.
A Continuance That Is Convenient,
Useful and Substantial.

A Continuance That Is Convenient,
Useful and Substantial.
To make a portable fence that is sub
stantial as well my practice is to take
bale of forty-eight inch poultry wire
netting, says DR.. J. A. Whitman Of
Beaufort, S. G. Use anything that
will make a stake sufficiently strong
to hold it up. Then with an iron bar
make holes about eight feet apart
around the lot you wish to inclose.
Now put in the stakes, driving them
down a little to make them firm; then
take fourpenny nail and drive it into
the stakes on the side you are going to
put on the netting as high as your net
ting is wide or so the netting will rest
upon the ground.
Now commence at one corner and
unroll your netting around to the start
ing point. If it does not take the whole
roll, leave it on the roll. Next COM
mence and hang up the netting on the
nails that are partly driven in, stretch
ing it as you hang it up. Then take
common plastering laths and nail over
the netting on the stakes with two or
three fourpenny nails, leaving the
heads out just enough to draw with
hammer when you want to take the
fence down.
If you have a surplus of netting, roll
up the surplus and fasten it to the last
stake with string or piece Of wire.
If one roll is not enough, proceed with
the second roll just the same way.
When you get through with its use,
all you have to do is to draw the nails
from the laths and posts. lay down the
netting, roll up, pull the stakes and
lay them away for another time.
/. never cut roll Of netting unless
for a permanent fence. Let any poul-
tryman try this fence, and he will
never want for permanent fence.

NO DRESS SUIT, NO DINNER.

London Hotel Where Not Even an
Earl Can Dine In Street Clothes.
Never was the question of propriety
In matters of dress so sharply tested
as the other evening when a well
known English nobleman and his wife
were refused admission to the Savoy
restaurant in London at the dinner
hour because neither was In evening
attire. The nobleman is an earl, bear
ing one of the proudest titles In Eng
land. He protested, but the head wait
er, polite but obdurate, said the rule
could not be changed for all the wear
ers of coronets in the realm.
To dine at the Savoy restaurant or
even to be served with coffee In the
adjoining foyer it is absolutely essen
tial that lady wear dinner gown.
The escort naturally must wear a
dress suit. This rule has been unbro-
ken ever since the Savoy was opened.
Those who don't care to dress eat the
same viands and drink the same wine
in the grill room.
The Savoy is the only remaining
rampant of this peculiarly English
fashion. At all other famous hotels in
London known to travelling Americans
the management is ever ready to make
exceptions. At the Ritz, for example,
the manager says the whole thing re-
solves itself into matter of tact and
discretion.
1--WE know our guests" he said. MAT
urally an extremely rare one Of them
fails to dress for dinner, but when
such a thing does happen the guest
himself is the first person who desires
to be inconspicuous. We prefer that ev-
cry one should be dressed, and should
a stranger come in In street attire he
probably would be told that all the
tables, to our great regret, already
were taken, but the guest never would
be forbidden to take dinner where he
wishes"
The manager Of Claridge's made
similar statement. 'It rarely happens,
he said, "that any Of our guests ap-
pear at the dinner hour without being
in evening dress and still rarer that
they would care to dine in the restau-
rant under such conditions, but such
cases do arise. especially at this sea-
son of the year For instance, a man
arrives from Paris, finds his family
already in the restaurant and wants to
dine and chat 1t would not only be
unkind but unjust and bad taste. to in.
sist that he first change his clothes.
We have no fixed rule on the subject.
The whole matter is one of tact and
common sense."-Exchange

Fiddle and Grow Hair.

1t is now scientifically proved fact
that music exercises a great influence
on the growth of the hair. 1t is with
good reason that great musicians, such
as Paganini, List and Paderewsd,
are represented with a growth of hair
which Absalom might have envied.
Science has proved that stringed In
struments have a favorable influence
instruments act in the opposite direc-
ton Every one has probably observed
that bald violinist is as rare as a
bald horn player is common. Wood in
struments. such as the flute, seem to
have no pronounced influence either

RondhoIders' Unclaimed Money.


The postoffice profits slightly by the
destruction of stamps which have been
paid for and the treasury gets the
benefit of bills which are lost and new
er found A large source of irregular
profit lies In the failure of bondholders
to present their bonds for redemption.
Unclaimed money in the treasury due
to bondholders amounted to nearly a
million dollars in 1861, and the sum is
much greater now. OF a loan which
fell due in 1900 the sum OF $50, 900 re-
mains unclaimed. Nearly 100000 is
still unpaid of the per cent bonds
which were due in 1904. This year

CTRRENCY REEORUN.

The acceptance ley the American Bankers
Association Of its currency commissions report
must be taken TO indicate that bankers generally
now favor the experiment with credit currency
long urged as a practical means of giving
much needed elasticity TO our too taut and un-
yielding system. There was some slighbopposi-
ton TO what was called the "fatism' Of the
commissions scheme, but the association. which
represents more than nine thousand American
banking houses. voted almost unanimously TO
indorse It This is something gained. for the
impression has long existed that banking senti-
nent as a whole was rather lukewarm toward
asset currency. and, since genuine public press
ure for legislation existed. Congress has nat
uraIly been reluctant to modify system which.
though inelastic. has in the main worked reason
ably well. II such pressure is TO be developed. it
must be through intelligent agitation directed
by some responsible and powerful interests.
Financial legislation is the hardest sort OF
legislation to get through Congress, forfon all
matters affecting money and the governments
functions q regulator of money standards
and exchanges the public is extremely conserva-
tive. II believes the chief merit of our present
system TO lie in the absolute security given un-
der il 10 the whole volume of banknotes The
banknote is note only in name, since its value
is so completely guaranteed. and the holder need
not interest himself in the slightest in the per
sonality or solvency OF the maker. The Amer
tcsn public was bitten badly before the war
by depreciable bank currency of the wildcat
order that ii was justly enthusiastic over legis-
lation gbich taxe1 that currency out of exist
enee and gave ali~banknotes q safely yuAran-
teed par value. Business conditions have
changed entirely since the wildcat currency era.
and repetition of the disastrous experiment
with fuctuating and dubious asset notes need
not now be greatly feared, so long as the asset
currency is to be issued only by national banks
under strict supervision by the federal govern
ment- But popular prejudice against changes;
which look toward greater freedom of issue re-
mains more on less active and has proved pow
erfui factor in delaying reforms which would
