5000 and 5000 men returned to
work at the Lorraine plant of the
National Tube company that

Chicago reported the return of
1000 men to work in the plate,
slab, and structural mills of the
Illinois Steel company, and said
that before the end of the week
5000 more men would be re-
employed. These are but in
stances of what is becoming
quite general over the country.

Match Production in Brazil,

The number of boxes of matches
produced in the federal district of Rio
de Janeiro Brazil, in 1907 was 202, 041,-
400, of which 1S9, $4,000 were wood
and 12,4S2,000 wax matches. The
stamp revenue was $1,21S,3S4, or about
six-tenths of cent box. The output
is used in the district itself. The
match tax alone amounts to little
over $3.50 for each man, woman and
child. The explanation for this ex-
ceedingly large consumption of
matches IS in the fact that almost
every male inhabitant of the district
is a smoker, and most of them smoke
cigarettes.

The crew of the Elizabeth Hopkins
sat on deck in the cleaning, gazing
Idly at the dusky shapes of the barges
as they dropped silently down on the
tide, or violently discussing the iden-
tity of various steamers as they came
swiftly past. Even with these amuse-
Ments the time hung heavily, and
they thought longingly of certain
cosy bars by the riverside to which
they were wont to betake themselves
in their spare time.
Tonight in Difference to the wishes
OF the skipper, wishes which approx
mated closely to those of royalty in
their effects, they remained on board.
A new acquaintance of his, brother
captain, who dabbled in mesmerism,
was coming to give them taste of
his quality.
II never card the likes of It," said
one, with deep breath, as the skip
per concluded a marvellous example.
Voices sounded from the wharf, and
the night Waterman appeared pilot
ing Capt. Zingall to the schooner. The
crew noticed that he came aboard
quite like any other man, descending
the ladder with even more care than
usual.
At first he was not very successful.
The men stared at the discs he put
into their hands until their eyes
ached, but for some time without eff
feet. Bill was the first to yield, and
to the establishment of his friends
passed into a soft magnetic slumber,
from which he emerged to perform
the usual idiotic tricks peculiar to
mesmerized subjects.

Capt. Zingall turned to his sub
ject. "You owe that man half a
crown" he said, pointing, that one
eighteenpence, and that one five shil-
1ings. Pay them"

the world Bill CROPPED in his pockets,

COLOR AND FLAVOR IN APPLES
Apples from Cultivated Orchards
Bring Best Price.

1t is claimed by some that apples
from uncultivated orchards are more
highly colored, have a high flavor, are
firmer and keep better.
On the other hand, these apples are
usually smaller, and statistics recent
ly compiled by the Cornell university
show that the apples from cultivated
orchards sold for a slightly higher
price per bushel during the past five
years than did those from the or
chards that were not cultivated. That
is to say, the extra size of the apples
from the cultivated orchards more
ence in color flavor or firmness there
may have been.

Cultivation of Garden.

Few gardeners fully realize the i'm
portance of cultivation in connection
with garden crops. Cultivation should
never cease while crops are develop
ing. The general feeling in this re
gard is that it is too much work
Planting that is properly done will
permit of the cultivation being done
with horse power, thus facilitating the
work of cultivation. Instruments suit
able for small vegetable cultivation
can be purchased to be worked with
horse power, and effective cultivation
will bring ample returns for all time
spent at it and all work done.

STORING SWEET POTATOES.
A Suitable Building and Good Care
Are Requisite to Success.


If possible dig the potatoes on a
sunshiny day. Leave them in the
windrow till afternoon, then remove
them to the dry house and place them
on the racks. Care should be taken
that they do not touch on the rack.
A house 40x100 feet will hold 1000
bushels. The racks should be five
inches apart all around the house as
shown in the cut. If the potatoes are
small you can have the racks nearer
together. The object is not to have
the potatoes touch. They always go
through a sweat, and will soon decay
If they touch each other.

nearly empty whisky bottle on the
| table.
"And don't leave your 'baccy pouch
lying about, George" continued the
mate, in thrilling whisper.
He leaned back on the locker and
smacked his lips. There was a faint
laugh from one of the crew, and look
ing up smartly he seemed to be aware
for the first time of their presence.
What are you dom down here?" he
roared. What do you want?"
"Nothin', sir" said the cook. "Only

Get out at once" vociferated the
mate, rising.
"Stay where you are," said the skip

squeaky voice in which he chose to
personate the skipper.

skipper, irritably. "Tve had enough
O. this. I'll let i'm know who's who"
Still holding him with his gaze, Tin
gall clapped his hands together, and
stepping up to him blew strongly in
his face. The mate, with perfect
scream of rage, picked him up by the
middle, and dumping him heavily on
the floor, held him there and worried
him.

cred voice; take him off,"
"Why-don't you - bring - him

shortly. "It'll have to wear off,"
"Wear off," repeated the skipper
Zingall drew himself up with a lit
he said. "The fact is l was charged
full with electricity when l came
aboard, and he's got it all now. It's

"And what about me?" said Bradd.
You're the mate" said Zingall,

have had of the healing effects of

mate came on deck next morning, and
found that they had taken the schoon-
err out without arousing him.

Spray for Scale.

In order to get rid of the San Jose
scale it is we'll to spray both in the fall
and in the spring. Where the scale is
bad they are so encrusted on the
branches as to be four or five deep,
consequently only the tops receive the
benefit of the spray. 1t is, therefore
advisable to give a second spraying.
In the fall the scale are less resistant
than in the spring.

PLAGUE CAUSES
 PANIC IN CARACAS

Caracas, Venezuela, June 1S-The people of this city, regardless of so- cial status, are in panic because of the fearful ravages of bubonic plague. The president of the republic has ap- pealed to neighboring republics for funds to finance a campaign against the disease which now threatens to make Caracas q city of desolation.
 The plague has invaded the fash iohable residence section of the city and persons have been stricken while seated in the cafes. Everyone shuns his neighbor for fear that the latter may be the next to be afflicted and all attempt at business and social re- lationship has been abandoned. There have been as high as 100 cases q day in Laguaire and all efforts to stay the ravages of the disease have been futile.
