Special Correspondence to the Herald.
Canal street is all torn up over the
business changes to be made within
the next two months. J. B. Ludden
started the ball a-rolling by purchas-
ing the fine two-story brick building
owned by Casper Auel, which he will
fit up into a model modern store and
occupy in about two months. DR..
Heraty has leased the front rooms on
the second floor for his Office. The
co operative people have leased the p.
BARLEY building, one door west OF +.
L. Greer s store, and as soon as pos
sible will occupy same and increase
their stock. Both of these buildings
were used for saloon purposes, but
were closed because of the dryness of
the sentiment here. We are informed
that a company, headed by S. A.
Hatch, has bought the rock building
now occupied by the cooperative store
and owned by John Penuock, but for
what purpose could not be ascertain
ed. j. L. Brady and son will throw
the space occupied by John Schnor-
renburg's barber shop into their
Temperance saloon room and billiard
hall, and add pool table to the en-
tertainment features of the place.
Frank Taylor bought one of Casper
Auel's pool tables and will fit up a
pool room in connection with his
barber shop at the west end of the
street. Frank has been painting up
his building, in which, also, Reub.
French has his fine stock of buggies
on exhibition. Atty. Leo PhiIipson
last week removed his law Office from
the Auel building to the BETTER
building. Casper Auel and wife will
take up their residence on the second
floor of the BETTER building. This
will leave the Sprague storeroom,
now occupied by Ludden's store, the
only room on the street not definitely
engaged, and we hear that Mr.
Sprague has had several opportunities
to rent it, and no doubt will have
contract made before it is vacant.
Ira Fox has torn the partition from
his meat market and will double his
stock of groceries, which is in posses
sion of mis- son Clyde. This disposes

Hints ON Hog Raising.

Salt buried a few inches in the
ground in certain spots will attract
the hogs and confine them pretty close
" to such places.
1t Is natural for hog to root, but
If you want to prevent him from do
ing SO simple ring in the snout will
answer the purpose.
1t Is a great mistake to mark hog
by mutilating his ears. Better use a
metal tag.
Successful hog raisers will always
have clover or alfalfa pastures for
their animals.
Every hog pasture ought to have an
open shed on high point of ground
for shelter from the hot sun. Leave
all sides open SO the air can pass over
them.
Keep the pigs growing from the day
they are born until they go to the
slaughtering pen.
The man who imagines that he can
produce fat and lean bacon in streaks
by feeding one week and starving the
next will be disappointed.

MFirsto Mortgages.

BY reason of the insistence of many
investors that their bonds be of first"
mortgage, it may be said that the i'm
portance of the word first is depend
ent upon the circumstances, says
Moody's Magazine. A bond may be
first in fact; it may be so only in a
relative sense in that it indicates the
order in which the bond was put out
by the issuing company; or the use
of the term first" in the name of the
bond, undesirable and loose though it
be in such instances, may be upon the
slight ground that the mortgage is in
deed first on some part of the property,
while on other parts it may have but
a third or fourth claim. 1t is there
fore obvious that the mere presence
of this term in a title does not neces-
sarily make the bond an absolutely
prior lien. 1t has been estimated that
95 per cent in number and 95 per cent
in value of steam railroad ''frsts" are
first liens in name only.

woman I'm Chicken yard.

September Is a good month to look
about for stock, and If one has not al
ready settled upon particular varie-
ty, hint in that direction may be OF
some use. Unless a woman can afford
to keep plenty of help she should not
keep over fifty fowls. I feel that I am
writing for the woman who takes care
Of her chickens herself, and to her
would say that if she has the room it
is good plan to keep small flock of
two varieties-one for broilers or
fricassees and one for laying eggs, and
when it comes to the genuine bust
ness, then give me the Black Minor
cas-. The eggs are large and pure
white. The hens are almost perpetual
layers. and do not make good moth
ers The eggs will command the high
est fancy prices, and If your stock is
pure you can sell the eggs for sittings
at prices according to the stock you
keep.
The Plymouth Rocks or the Wyan-
dottes are suitable breeds for broil-
ers or for home use l think there is
more money in the selling of eggs to
private customers, or even in the mar
kets, than in broilers. There is less
work and less worry. The latter fowl
is good layer if she does not get too
fat, but when this occurs make a pot
pie of her.

Short Suggestions.

A pinch OF soda stirred into milk
that is to be boiled will keep it from
curdling.
To keep tins bright, wash well with
strong hot soda and water; when dry
polish with cloth and little pow
dered whiting.
Parsley may be kept fresh and green
for several days If it is put In COW
cred earthen jar in cool place. 1t
will last longer than in water.
To clean old glass pour strong am
monia on it, scrub well with brush
and rinse in clean water. Dry and
polish, and it will then appear as new.
When hot cake or light bread will
not cut smoothly heat knife to the
temperature of the bread or cake and
it may be easily cut by so doing.
If you oyerboil potatoes you can
drain off the water and dry them out
over the fire. Afterward they can be
mashed and beaten in the usual way.
Brasses take most beautiful polish
If washed in mixture made Of one
ounce of alum and pint of I've, boil
ed together and used while still warm.
Wringing out cloth in hot water
and wiping furniture well before put
ting on furniture cream will result In
a high polish and will not show finger
marks.
Put stale crackers into pan, throw
over them a handful of salt and brown.
Shake off the salt and the crackers
will have a delicious taste as good
as when new

A FLOATING SCHOOL.
Miss Harriman's Kindness to Consu1np-
tive School Children.

Through the philanthropy of Miss
Mary Hartman, eldest daughter of the
late e. III. Hartman, the poor children
of Brooklyn who are afflicted with tu-
berculosis are able to keep up with their
classes in the public schools and be cured
at the same time. The ferry boat Sus-
quehanna, which Miss Hartman loaned
to the Brooklyn committee on the pre-
vention of tuberculosis during the sum-
mer as day camp, will be used as a
public school during the winter for the
little consumptives who are not allowed
by law to attend the regular schools.
The boat is moored at the foot of Column
bia street, Brooklyn, in the Erie BASIN
The school board has fitted the Susque-
hanna with desks, blackboards, and all
the paraphernalia of a modern school,
In order to have a teacher who will be
sympathetic and not push the children
too hard when they are tired, the school
has been put in charge of man who has
had consumption, John Birdsell. Wealthy
Brooklyn women are providing milk and
eggs for the children during school hours.

An exchange presents each of the
two sides OF the farm labor question
In this somewhat homely but forcible
manner:
"He felt that he was working too
hard for the pay received; he knew
better than the boss how the work
should be laid out; he caroused on
Sunday and was dead to the world
Monday; he was jealous Of the other
hired men-he got fired!
He had no regular hours; he
shifted teams from one man to anoth-
er; he spent his time In town; he had
plenty of spare room in his house, but
gave the hired man the best in the
hay loft; he grumbled about trifes-
his hired man quit"

To Keep Shoes from Slipping.

One often wonders how some girls
walk, even climb mountains, in pumps
and silk stockings. 1t is not a sensible
think to do, but where ankles are strong
1t may not be particularly harmful if one
can keep the pumps from slipping. One
girl, who is proud of her small feet and
them, has told her secret for keeping
her pumps from slipping. She pastes
piece of black velvet at the back of each
pump. This must be smoothly done that
there is no wrinkle. Only a narrow
strip need be used, though the girl in
question lined the entire back part of
her shoe. The same girl sews narrow
strips of soft silk the color of her stock
ing inside the heel of her stockings just
at the line where the pump rests against
them. This makes the stockings last
twice as long, as low shoes and pumps
rub holes even though carefully worn.
