Worked Both Ways.

A popular hostess in Paris at whose
dinners and receptions the best of the
floating population may be seen has
discovered a new way to make her
dinner guests at ease. The day of the
dinner n man guest received note
like this: "NIr. Blank will have the
pleasure to escort Miss Dash. She is
musical, dotes on 'Salome,' attends the
lectures OF Professor Knowall. She
attended the Press club ball, has had
gowns made at Worth's. Her father
has much money, and she has Travelled
in Spain and Italy" "Great plan," said
the man who had received the note. 81

An Oraan's Secret.

Switzerland has a church which is
very proud of, it's exquisite music. This
Is the Church of st. Nicholas at Frei-
burg. At first no startling novelty i'm
presses itself upon the visitor, but
when the magnificent organ begins to
sound surprise and delight are mingled
in the hearer. This organ is of i'm
mense size. 1t has four manuals, sixty
four stops and 4,103 pipes. Its great
popularity is, however, its vox hui
mana stop There are voX humana
stops in hundreds of organs, but none
which in any way approaches the per-
fection of this masterpiece. Mooser,
the builder, was repeatedly begged to
build others, but invariably refused,
and his secret has been faithfully kept,
for, except the organist, who is also
the tuner, no one is permitted to in
spect the interior of the organ.-New

Steer More and Blow Less.

If the same amount of effort ex-
pended on the automobile horn to get
people to move out of your way were
used to move the steering wheel slight
ly so as not to seem to bear directly
upon the person in front, and If you
should steer around wagons in the
road, as nine times out Of ten you
must do in the end, rather than blow
and blow the horn in vain effort to get
them to move, much less friction would
be caused and the speed increased. We
think it is much better to pass care
fully and as quietly as possible. OF
ten you are noticed hardly at all, and
you can generally tell If warning is
ecessary.-Outing

Buildinu on Sand,

In New York nearly all the tall Office
buildings have their foundations on the
Quicksand, in 1t or under it, and, as q
rule, they are more difficult, danger
Gus and costly to build than anywhere
else in the world. 1t is required to pro-
vide absolutely safe separate supports
for from fifty to hundred columns
fifteen or twenty feet apart, each car
rying loads of from 100 to 1000 tons.
Thirty feet below the surface the sand
is found compressed to a hard dense
mass, which undisturbed will carry
safely load of 6,O0O or 5000 pounds
per square foot. When, therefore, the
building is not too heavy and there is
no expectation of deeper foundations
being built alongside, the new founda-
tions are often laid on the surface of
the sand, which has from one-half to
the whole of it's area covered with
them.-Frank w. Skinner in Century.

OLD TIME GAMES.
Children of Today Enjoy Same Sports
as Youth of Long Ago.

The boys and girls Of the present
day who become enthusiastic over the
newest games would be surprised if
they could discover how closely many
of the old time pastimes resemble our
own, says the Chicago News.
The Eskimos Of the frozen north,
the TuDinambras of the Brazilian PAM
pas, the gamins Of the Paris streets,
the boys and girls of London, of Bos-
ton and of Philadelphia, have one kim
dred tie-the love of sport. There is
nothing new under the sun, said the
wise man, and especially is there moth
ing new in youthful games.
Archaeologists have found dolls in
Egyptian pyramids and on prehistoric
tombs, the name of popular ball
club was found scrawled upon the
outer walls of Pompeiian houses, and
one of the most exciting matches on
record was the one stubbornly fought
between the rival mines of Montezuma
king of Mexico, and Nezahualpilli
'tZin of Tezcuco.
The boys of ancient Greece and
Rome played at whip top, and quoits
and baseball, and pitch penny, and
blind mans buff, and hide and seek
and jackstones. and follow my leader
just as do the boys of today. The
girls were experts at seesaw, and
swinging, and dancing, and grace
hoops, and dice throwing, and ball
play, and in Sparta even at running
wrestling and leaping. Tobogganing
is as old as ice and snow, and when
you play at cherry pits you are only
doing what Nero and Commodus and
young Themistocles did ages ago il
Rome and in Athens.

Wash For Nursery Stock.

Dipping nursery stock in lime sui
phur wash or other insecticides has
recently been much advocated as
substitute for fumigation with hydro
cyanic acid gas. The station at Ge-
neva, n. Y, finds, however, that this
treatment, if used at all, must be han
died with care to secure scale de-
struction without injuring the trees.
With the sulphur wash, exposure of
the trees for too long a time or at too
high temperature resulted in injury,
while with any of the materials used
exposure of the roots to the mixture
resulted in serious injury to the stock.
For nurserymen the station still rec
ommends fumigation as most effective
and least liable to injury and would
advise orchardists to use the lime sul-
phur as a spray after the trees are set
rather than as dip when they are re-
ceiyed

MONEY IN TRUCK FARMING.
Profit Of $4,000 In Seven Years In
Iowa.

Profit of $4,000 In Seven Years In
The most sensational disclosure to
agrlculturists has just been made by
Francis Sestier of Des Moines, Ia,
young man who has made $4,000
worth Of permanent improvements on
a thirty-two acre farm in the last
seven years and paid for it all from
the product of the SOIL 1t is demon
stration of what application will do.
Francis Sestier is the son of a
French stonecutter, who came to Des
Moines in 1875 to work on the con-
struction of the state capitol. But
stonecutting is an unhealthy business,
and one day he determined to quit it.
He bought a farm within sight of the
golden dome of the statehouse he had
helped to construct and struggled
along for years. paying off the mort
cages and at the same time raising a
family. Seven years ago he died, and
his son, Francis, took the active man
agement. 1t is he who has worked
the miracle OF the SOIL.
He has turned his farm into n truck
garden, which is now said to be the
finest truck farm west of the Missis-
sippi river. The beauty of his success
is that. unlike truck gardeners Of the
east, he does not have to spend great
sums of money for fertilization. Dur
Ing all these years his fertilization has
not cost him more than so cents an
acre year.
Among the permanent improvements
built since 1901 and paid for from this
small farm are an $4,000 house. under
which is a modern cold storage; a
steam pumping plant that draws wa
ter from the river half mile away
and lifts it 145 feet into a monster res
ervoir and eight greenhouses.
Mr.. Sestier by his management is
making his farm yield a gross income
of $500 or $40O an acre. Like every
successful man, Mr.. Sestier can handle
some things better than others. To-
matoes seem to be his favorite crop.
He introduced the method of raising
tomatoes on poles and plants 5000
vines to the acre, getting a yield of
75O bushels of perfect fruit that
brings the highest price on the market.
He makes as much as $4,000 on let
tuce in year. Such figures for a
thirty-two acre farm in Iowa are SEN
sational, to say the least. especially
when they are made to come by the
son of French stonecutter who
knew nothing of agriculture and who
never attended an agricultural college

loose Snan9e IN Aoditton.
Young Mr.. Brummagem was riding
uptown in the company of nine wo-
men. He did not know the women.
He simply happened to land in a car
in the midst of the bunch. Five of
them sat in the front seat of the open
car and four in the seat facing it.
The tenth passenger was Brummagem.
He sat at the end of the seat, and
when the conductor came along he
obligingly helped to pay the fares
that is, he reached out for the wo-
mems money and handed it along-nnd
then when the conductor had counted
out the change Brummagem passed II
back to his neighbors.
Naturally such a complicated finan-
cial arrangement caused some confu-
sion. There were so many fair hands
thrust forward at one time that it was
hard to keep track Of the amount con-
tributed by each. and when the ac-
counts were finally settled possibly no
one but the conductor knew just how
matters stood. However, he had kept
his head level all the way through, so
he had no scruples about reaching
across toward the woman in the far
corner and calling out Fare, please"
in very positive tones.
The woman blushed.

And Brummagem, speechless with
Indignation, gave it to him and hand

you had better let folks pay their own

MADE ON PRINCIPLE OF SCISSORS.

is Of metal, made on the principle of
pair of scissors. except that where the
point of the scissors would come there
is on one side disk and on the other
a circular aperture opening into long
bag, which is attached to it. The han
dies of the harvester are hollow, so
that they will fit over the pointed ends
of poles, which may be of any length
required. By means of this device a
person standing on the ground can
reach fruit in otherwise inaccessible
places and by compressing the handles
can snip the fruit from the limbs into
the bag. In this way fruit can be
plucked before it falls to the ground
and becomes bruised.
