Cold Storage And Refrigerated Transportation.
Fifty years ago CINCINNATI was known as Porkopolis. being
the chief hog killing center of the United States. The hogs were
all killed during the winter months and artificial refrigeration and
pork packing houses were mheard of things. A very few years
Iater efforts were made to pack beef in Texas and an almost in
superable obstacle was found in the fact that the beef would fire.
quenty spoil before it would absorb sufficient pickle to preserve it.

How to Please Him.

Men appreciate tenderness. They val ue the little proofs of love every whit as much as woman-long just as keenIy to hear those three little words, the sweetest in any language when spoken by the right lips. And yet many girls ignorantly or wilfuiiy F nore this and absolutely starve their lovers as far as any expression of their love is concerned.
 II pleases a man te see woman he loves gentle and considerate in her home life He may appear te be tri- fe jealous of the duties that absorb some of the time which might be de voted to himself Yet in his heart he would not have her one iota less ioN- ing to her own people. He knows the truth of the old saw and how good an omen it is for the future.
 certain maidenly dignity always pleases a man. Underneath the girlish love of fun and pleasure be delights 10 know there is sturdy self respect that will respect his rights as well as her own.
 It pleases man to find the woman he loves companionable and able 70 take an interest in the things that in- terest him. to meet a smiling face on Ehich frowns are unknown and a pair of bright eyes that grow brighter as they seek his own or more hopefui at his sorrows.

ANNOUNCEMENT CARDS.
~ass Be Sent to Aequaintanees. "A. Home Cards Only .o Er,.,-.

Girls who are married quietly sbou,a be particular to send many announce ment cards. To say that these en. sraFed forms should be sent broadcast Is none tce strong. far to emit 4 per fga Is esIaAia+4-4l to sa9 tug that o..e aees not care te acknowledge his or her existence, aud they differ from in yitatioas ia that r. send one is mol, taatamonut Eo request ta continue The acquaiutanee. But if there k the slightest dauht as ta whether or mol a PerSon iS to be remembered by an an nouncement il would be better to err on the side If commission than oEnss- sion.
 The inelosure of an "at home" card becomes a direct request for the per sons acquaintance. and in my opinion such cards are important with an houncements There Is always more or less speculation as to the reasons or details of small wedding when the persons married have a large list of acquaintanees. and unless there are "at home" cards the newly married couple are not definitely located in the minds of their friends. Nothing defi- nite Is expected of the prospective hostess. because no definite days need be set. IL Is enough that the card shall read. At home after November first" for instance The address then follows.
 There are slight changes in the forms for announcements. Those who care for the most elaborate cheese . kind wherein the recipients name is written. as in some wedding invita- tions. This means much extra work and Is not better form than the usual one that omits it.
 Also as fin invitations the announce ments may be made in the name of the brides parents or her nearest reia- tive-for example:
 .'Mr. and Mrs. James Brown Smith" may announce the marriage of their daughter Laura to Mir. Charles Evans Jones' the place and date following.
 They are sent out precisely as are invitations. There are two envelopes. and the name of young girl may be put on that of the parents The cards must be addressed and stamped to be posted immediately after the ceremo- ny. IL is great mistake to have any delay in getting them out
 Incidentally one may say to a busi- ness girl that it is a courteous act 10 send an announcement but not an ''at home" to her former employer. and whether or not she has ever seen the wife. if he is married. her name should be included It is never good form to sort without also one to his wife.

igin, and Mrs. Pankhurst and her daughter will not be the only women from the British isles to visit the eonn- try ill the next few months in the in terest of the cause. In sense the visitors will only even up the score. for many American women have been active in the suffragist agitation in London. Two young American women were among those who served prison terms for the attempt to storm the house of commons. and others have been engaged in q sneechmaking tour of England and Scotland.
 Mrs. Pankharst has not displayed any great gift of diplomacy in her ballot fight abroad but in America it will be very necessary for her al leasi To attempt 10 reconcile the opposing forces that have lined themselves uF for the titbt. Mrs. Clarence Maekay and her Equal Franchise society will have nothing to do with militant snf fragists. and this very gifted worker in the cause says # K net necessary to % out and shriek the propaganda in the streets" Mrs. O. II. F. Bel ment's organization. on the other hand. has Invited the English belliserents n come over here and lecture. so there is likely to be friction in the opposing camps. if not war te the knife.
 Chicago cluhwomen have turned down Mrs. Pankhurst. giving as the reason that her prices are entirely too high. She has come to this country under the management of bureau that charges $500 for one lecture. The matter was submitted also to the largest club in St Louis and voted down. but New York and Philadel- phia. however are prepared to make much of the English champion despite the high price.

GAME OF CUSTOMS.

Slew ThiHsers VIII Have .o Pay Duty
 ea Taesr Baggage.
 Some children had been traveling ia Europe with their parents. and among file numerous things to interest them sere tee custom oaleerS. whe iaves6i- eaFed their baggage fer kootls on which to charge datx. saFs the Ga.leaSe News. When they came back to America they were detained a long time in the GUS tom house waiting for aa ogiieer 10 ex- anime their trunks, IL was great fun for the children to follow the officers about and hear what the people had te say and how much money they had to pay fer the dress goods and jewels and everything they had brought from abroad So they immediately invented this game:
 One person is chosen as the customs officer" the rest of the company being passengers The officer holds a hand kerehief knotted into ball.
 What has X In his trunk = he ask ed. throwing the handkerchief at one of the passengers" AS be throws 1t he must fx in his mind one object commencing with A that can be pack ed In a trunk. The person at whom the handkerchief is thrown must an- swer some object commencing with A. If he answers the same word that the officer has in mind he must pay "cus- toms" or forfeit to be redeemed later. or If he fails to answer quickly he must pay customs.
 The fun lies in playing quickly and in keeping the passengers wondering whose baggage will be examined next.

 Dear friend. defend mel cried Griz- gle

 Mrs. Pankhunst and her daughter sshristabei. the militant English suffra. spttes. have reeeauy arrived in fhis country from London. Mrs. Pankhurst for her lecture tour through the coun- trv has prepared some very exciting subieet matter She will tell of the nght being made by the sHffragettes if London and of the assistance they received from many American women. several of whom were arrested and sent to jau. She will tell of her own experience at the hands of the police. of scrubbing jail floors and of going through a hard jail routine as a pris- oner for the cause. Mrs. Pankhurst is confident women will win the ballot in England and is anxious to see as bitter a fight waged in the Unit cd States. 1t is doubtful, however. if she will induce American women to follow the example of their English sisters in resorting to violence and bidding for sympathy by starving themselves when serving jafl sen tepces.
