Nearly an Accident.

Forty-six years of uninterrupted
service at the throttle of locomotive,
during which time he was never in ap
accident nor suspended for deviation
from railroad rules, is the enviable
record of Charles E. Chew, veteran
Baltimore & Ohio locomotive driver,
who, having served the full quota OF
years requisite for voluntary retire
ment from active service under the
roads pension plan, has just quit
the engine cab. Mr.. Chew was born
on Dec ~, 1S4S, and began his rail-
road career on the Baltimore &
Ohio as messenger at Frederick,
Nd, on March 4, 1868. He later
secured a position as fireman and
was promoted to engineer on April
1, 1889. Mr.. Chew's first work on
the Baltimore & Ohio was in the days
when the railroads were using the
'grasshopper" and other early types
of engines, the monsters of the pres
emit day never having been dreamed
Of, and the fact that in all these
years this veteran Of the throttle and
reverse lever has kept his record as
spotless as schoolgirls diploma is
considered remarkable by railroad Of
ficials.-Bsltimore Sun.

know that the mythical pastime of
locating a needle in a haystack is a
comparative task. Now comes New
York man with sheet music cabinet
that solves the difficulty. This cab
met is a threshold affair, revolving
on stationary stand. The compart-
ments for the music are arranged in
the form of steps and hold the sheets
in a vertical position with titles of
each showing above the titles of those
below.
In such a stand several hundred
pieces of music may be kept without
confusion and anyone can be found
almost at glance. To facilitate mat
tiers the sheets may be kept in alpha
betical order or the vocal and instru-
mental music can be separated or
both methods may be used in con-
junction. Such a cabinet is conven-
lent for use both at homes and in
music stores or conservatories.-

Bishop sleeves with Caps.


Bishop sleeves make one of the
very latest developments of fashion
and those illustrated, with separate
caps, are exceedingly smart as we'll
as practical The lower portion of
each is designed for thinner material,
while the cap is supposed to match
the blouse, and 1t will be seen at
glance that they are admirably well
adapted to remodeling as well as for
new material The sleeves can be
made in long. three-quarter or elbow
length. In the illustration the full
length sleeve Is made with cuff Of
fancy material. the three-quarter
sleeve is made with Gun which
matches the cap. and the elbow sleeve
is made with the under portion Of
dotted Swiss and the over portion
embroidered in a simple but effective
design. The caps can be embroidered,
trimmed with banding or with APP
plique or treated in any way that
fancy may suggest.
All the sleeves are designed to be
made over a fitted foundation. The
full, or bishop portion, is made in one
piece and gathered at upper and lower
edges and the cap is made in one piece
finished separately. The full length
sleeve is finished with a shaped cuff,
the three-quarter sleeve is finished
with rolled-over cuff joined to its
lower edge and the elbow sleeve is
finished with a band that is edged

A Paiama One.

"The late Col. A. K. Mcclure was
brilliant raconteur," said veteran
Glover Club man. 'Ill never forget
his pajama story.
'tCol Mcclure told this story at a
Glover Club dinner in the old Belle
vue of Philadelphia. It was a story
about the Spanish War.
There was regiment, it seems,
recruited from Conshohocken, CHINA
minson, Wawa and Manunka Chunk
and the ladies of those Pennsylvania
towns got together after the regi-
ment's departure and made a lot OF
pajamas for the soldiers. Pajamas
were a new thing in those days;
smart, exclusive, and so forth; the
ordinary man wore a nightshirt.

dozen big packing cases went duly

Corkscrew Has Rival.

this experience you will welcome the

VALUE or SHADE FOR POULTRY.


In many parts of the country
means for affording relief from ex-
cessiye heat must be improvised as
they are not naturally available.
Where the poultry keeper lives upon
a place having woods or abundant
Indigenous his work is very greatly
simplafied. For instance, under these
conditions, If he, with the advent OF
warun weather, will remove his fowls
TO the shelter of the trees or hedges
he will find that they will grow fas-
ter. We know from our own expert
ence how welcome, upon hot sum-
mer's day, Is the shade, and what Is
true of ourselves Is equally true OF
our FOWLS IL they are placed out
in the open and exposed all day to
an excess Of sunshine, they have the
same feeling Of discomfort that we
experience under like conditions.
Consequently the effect is seen in re-
tardation OF the development Of the
body. and sometimes in loss by death.
Moreover, under these circumstances

part of the FOWLS We have only to
watch them in the open fields to see
that they cover, during the greater
part of tine day, under such small
shade as is available, whereas those
having the shelter of trees or hedges
are active and happy. They seem
more or less constantly engaged in
seeking natural food, and in short
are living under conditions which
must tend to their development and
to The profit of their owner. My adj
vice, therefore, is that wherever pos
sdble the benefit of the shelter which
nature has provided be given. Under
these circumstances there should
have taken place, even earlier than
this. a removal of the coops or brood
ers, or of the colony houses in which
the growing stock is accommodated,
to places which will give them album
dant shade or at least protect them
against excessive slfnshine.-Cor.

DUCKS PROFITABLE.

Within the last few years ducks
have become one of the mosx profit

pecially the case near the large cities

plenty of water on their places could
raise ducks. Now water in any con-

VERMIN.

If the people took the precaution
to rid their fowls Of vermin during
the winter and early spring months,
che percentage of loss in young chicks
would be considerably less. Lice kills
more young chicks every year than
most anything else, and yet many
people who keep poultry employ no
means whatever to exterminate them.
This Is almost as foolish as locking
the stable door after the horse has
been stolen. The older fowls, being
stronger, do not suffer as much from
lice as young chicks, though they,
too. are often killed by vermin. A
few lice on the sitting hen means a
multitude on the chicks.-F Farmers

SUMMER CHICKS.

With the exception of early espring
matched pullets it is probable that
there is as much clear money in
chicks Matched in July and August as
In those Matched at any time in the
year. The pullets make the best OF
summer layers, the cockereis are
ready for market at a time when
prices are at their highest and there
Is no easier or cheaper season for
Matching young chicks than those two
months, says a correspondent in Ma
tional Farmer and Stockman.
Perhaps I should have said rails
ing" instead of Matching" During
those two months, it is true, the
breeding stock if yarded is likely to
give eggs with low fertility and VI
tality, but once the chicks are start
ed most conditions favor them If
they have plenty of shade. If raised
in brooders they need little heat and
can be on the ground about all the
time, which is the only place chicks
ought to be at this season. If raised
with hens they can be given to them
In large focks. The range furnishes
more feed than ait any other season
and animal feed is abundant. The
hocks can and should he moved to
corn fields, meadows (if shady, pas.
lures or open wood lots and the
chicks will grow to chickens on less
feed and care than at any other time.
