WHERE HOMi BAM MEMORY
Living in Boarding. Houses and Hotels
Is an Easy Life-sut Dull One.

The mode OF living IN boarding
houses and hotels is attractive only 20
those who have never experienced IT,
These establishments are modern in
stitutions of monotory. Moreover

make his realization of it less. Meals
that in their own home might be en-
ioyed in genial comranionship and
sympathy are now taken under the
fire Of many eyes that make the sweet
ness Of confidence impossible If the
husband does not talk he is likely to
be charged with being disagreeable
and sulky; il he does talk he may be
accused of trying very hard TO be
fascinating to some one for whom he
does not care two straws
The cuiet social evenings with a few
friends have always 90 be considered
from the standpoint Of some one else's
convenience. The lady on the third
floor back is sick and cannot bear the
noise Of a piano. or walking on the
floor disturbs the rest OF the nervous
old gentleman in the rooms under
meath.
Hotels give more independence, but
more isolation; more freedom. but also
more loneliness. The unwelcome close
ness Of contact IN boarding houses Is
exchanged for an equally unwelcome
aloftness and coldness. Hotels are ex-
cellent institutions for travellers or
those desiring temporary quarters, but
they pail quickly on lovers Of a home.
Imagine the wall motto, "God Bless
Our Home" hanging In a room in a
hotell 1t would seem almost irrever-
ence. with an undertone OF sarcasm.

eibson,s Trick

Senator Gibson, the sole OF politeness
and the essence OF good manners, play
ed a trick on Cassatt's guests. He went
through Washington Market and
bought the feet of everv young chicken

glad to give him the feet. Gibson's
valet soaked the toes in hot water and
removed the scales. That was easy

A Large Lsathe- Belt.

A Chicago company has made for an
American saw mills plant what is claimed
TO be the largest single leather belt in the
world. It was made from pure oak bark
tanned leather; is 81 inches in width,
three-ply in thickness and weighs just
2,s00 pounds. The belt Is ia feet long; Il
took the centres OF the hides OF 225 steers
to make It, and each piece OF this leather
was separately stretched before being
placed IN the belt. A belt OF about the
same size has been running for many

Took a Bird Census.

Springfield Republican.
A bird census taken in a walk across
Illinois from the Indiana line TO the Mis-
slsslppi last fall. yielded by no means
pleasing results Two men traversed a
strip $50 feet wide on an a~Srage for ls-
miles. They found 1900 birds Of % kinds,
and two-thirds OF these were English
sparrows. That leaves 1900 useful birds
against 300 injurious. About sixth OF
the 1000. or 2G6. were crow blaclSbirds
(grackles): then came in order meadow
larks. crows. cowblrds horned larks and
mourning doves. In proportion from 10 to
C per cent OF all seen. besides other spe-
cies Of fewer numbers. The value Of a
bird census in the fall, however, is not

COUNTY HAY CROP
It is said to Be Much Better Than An
tieipated.

The average farmer banks much on
his corn crop. and II Is an important
one, but the New Castle county agri-
culturist is also considerably interest
ed in the grass crop and a month or
so ago the majority OF our farmers
were Of the opinion that the yield
would be short and much below the
average. For a considerable time the
farmer who had last years hay in any
quantity was selling Il in whatever
amount which could be spared at SIS
to S22 per ton. according TO quality.
Numerous farmers fearing a famine
would not sell their stock on hand at
any price.
But the rains and the warmer wealth

 NEW YORK, May 15.-There is i'm proved crop prospect in the far north west. Dispatches telling of lripfosea condition in Manitoba has much to do with the late selling today There was sharp break in the curb price at Minneapolis before this market opened Later there was a forecast for rising temperatures oyer the west and especially over the northwest. All day long there was an effort on the part of holders who were out of their wheat to play for a further re- action before replacing rnes. The trade was not without bull news from the winter wheat country. Kansas City messages reported buying orders coming from Kansas and Missouri points, bringing the information that wheat is frozen as the result of the recent low temperatures. Some Kan sas points ice formed last night and the mercury showed very low all over that state Ii is a nervous mar ket in which buyers should use eau tion, except on a sharp break.

The mines in question are the Hidden Fortune and the Co lumbus Consolidated. which adjoins, and their value is estimated at s5,toU,. coo
 Bonds for s40a. .o0a have been issued to develop further the consolidated properties, and the Continental Trust company has been named the trustee This in itsels is considered an adnis- sion by eastern capitalists that the trust companies Of the West, located sn mining centers. and not tnose of Wall street. are to be prefesser in future as trustees for mining bond issues.
 The consolidation was brought about through the foreclosure of 2 bond issue of s25o,0e0 on the Hidden Fortune mine by the Continental Trust company, which bought in the property at the sale. H. J. Mayham & Co, of Denver, Chicago and New York. representing eastern stock holders in the Hidden Fortune, wilh the assistance of the trust company. brought about the big consolidation.
 As a result of this deal, the offices of the Hidden Fortune will be moved to New York and the consolidated mines win have headquarters in the Flatiron building.
