BALTIMORE, Md, October 26.-Mary-

a pretty good day on their play.

Stamps of German Domestics.

Each week there is pasted in the
little blank book that every servant
girl in Germany must possess a post
age stamp to the value of about five
cents.
This stamp is a donation, compul-
sorry under the German law, which the
mistress must afford the servant.
Should the girl fall i'll, the stamps are
redeemed by the government, or the
servant may retain the stamps indefi-
nitely until, when she has attained a
ripe old age, the government pays her
a premium for them.-The Sunday

Really Is a Jag in a Georgia Melon

the discovery of a criminal tendency
in the watermelon heretofore unsus-
pected.
w have been experimenting with
every sort of fruit and vegetable that
contains sugar" said Mr.. Wilson, "the
watermelon. pears, apples, peaches,
plums, pumpkins, muskmelons, Irish
potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets and
other vegetables. The watermelon sur
prised US. We never expected it of
it. The purpose is to develop the
cheapest kind of denatured alcohol for
use as fuel.
The experiments nave been made
under the directions of DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief of the bureal of
chemistry. Of course it is impossible
to extract this alcohol in paying guam
titles from melons, but we hope to do
so from sweet potatoes.
THE experiments have been made
to benefit the %seacoast portion of the
south, from Virginia down the Allan
tic around Florida and along the gulf.
Sweet potatoes can be grown cheaply
in the sand Of these sections. One
bushel of sweet potatoes will make a
gallon of alcohol. The product is a
better and cheaper fuel than benzine."

How the Government Loses Millions

by goods are brought into this country
IN trunks with false bottoms to de-
ceive the inspectors, stretch to many
parts of the United States, though
passing only through the port of New
York in the cases about to be prose
cuted.
Beyond the generalization of mil
Hons of dollars nobody officially can
estimate the amount of taxes thus
evaded. Most of the violators of law
in this respect are dressmakers. The
government has a good deal of evil
dence along this line, and the prose
cutions for this form Of wholesale dis
honesty promises to be of a sensation
al character.
Collector Loeb expressed the opin-
ion that the sleeper trunk frauds
could nc longer be carried on sue
cessfully under the rules he " has
adopted. These provide for a new
stamp arrangement for trunks and a
limitation Of the hours a trunk nay

He Calls Mrs. Snowfall a Model Hen

and clucks to find herself famous.
This hen has appeared in Wilmington
and is the property of a 1~4-year-old
boy, Lilbourne Martin. But she is not
a native of Delaawre. No, she thanks
her feathers she was born at Bynum,
Md, and thus good old Hartford coun-
ty adds another gem to the diadem Of
the state that made good eating ia
nous. Though black as a colored poll
tician, she rejoices In the name Of
Snowfall, and as such will go down in
history.
For generations Maryland has been
famous for her chickens, and whether
they were fried a la Maryland or were
laid to rest in the old~-fashiOned pie,
they have served their country well
and have left pleasant memories be-
hind them. It is all the more crafty
ing to record that out of the heart of
the f~ried-chicken belt has come this
phenomenal hen.
According to the records, she not
only lays two eggs a day, but some
times varies it by contributing three.
All are perfectly fresh and suitable
for family use. If she can keep up
her record for a year this will mean
100 eggs, with a few extra for Christ
mas and the Fourth of July. If all the
eggs grow up into chickens Mrs.
SNOWFALL would soon have enough de-
scendants to cluck around the world.
She deserves a medal from Secretary
Wilson and a cablegram from Col.
Roosevelt for her efforts to prevent
race suicide.
Mrs. SNOWFALL is a model hen. She
never worries about the fashions in
feathers; she is not forever running
off to some %barnyard by the sea OF
chicken house in the mountains; she
does not try to shine at bridge or out
scratch her neighbors. She stays al
home, looks after Mr.. SNOWFALL and
the children and attends strictly tC
business. Wherefore will she be re
membered wherever the egg is held in
honor and the chicken in esteem.
