QUICK ACTION ON A LOST PIN.

Dan Rhoades is a modest young man who makes a living as a general can vasser.
 Recently he found highly ieweled scarfpin on one of the crowded thor oughfares
 A few minutes later he stopped at a cafe to examine his find at his leisure and enjoy a possible glass of liquid re- freshment.
 Before his order was given at the bar the voice of two men at a nearby were discussing lost scarfpin. while the third. the loser. was at telephone only a few feet away talking to an of ficer at police station.
 Dan listened very sharply.
 T must have lost the pin on First avenue. near Thirty fifth street." ex- pained the man at the telephone. Looking into a shop window at Thir- ty-fourth street I missed the pin from my scarf. I had seen the pin in my scarf at another shop window only a block away"
 Dan forgot his refreshments.
 Tt was a turquoise" pursued the man at the telephone. At the top and bottom of the central jewel were opals. A horseshoe of diamonds sur rounded the whole"
 Dan stepped over to the telephone and touched the man on the shoulder.
 Ring off," he said. Here is your pin!"-New York Telegraph.

SHORTER HOURS FOR WORK
 ADDS TO MEMS So6RiETr.

When the movement for shorter hours for workingmen and workine women was beginning it was said fre- quently that the proposed change. II brought about. would leave more time to be passed in saloons. thus produc- ing more drunkenness. Investigators and students of social problems do not find that a Shorter working day pro- duces any such result. On the con- trary. it is asserted that shorter and more regular hours of labor when se- cured lead to increased sobriety on the part of workers.
 In an address given in Chicago a few days ago by MT. Street. an official of the board of trade of Great Britain. who has been engaged for several years in the study of labor problems for the British government. the declaration was made that the movement in Eng land for a shorter day. of labor has been followed by a decrease of intem- perance among workingmen- Long hours of work brought undue weari- ness and craving for stimulants With longer hours of leisure. the tend ency of the worker is to seek healthfu recreation in outdoor activities.
 The small shopkeepers of England are said by MT. Street to be initiating the example of the skilled mechanics in taking halliday off each week. This halliday naturally cannot be on Saturday. since clerks in groceries, re- tail meat markets and other similar places catering to the needs of the community for supplies for the house. hold are particularly busy as the week closes
 Louis D. Brandeis. the eminent Bos- ton lawyer. who has been retained by States Attorney Wayman to make an argument before the Illinois supreme court in favor of the teh-hour day for woman workers in factories and laun- dries. in his brief recently filed in this case dwells upon the drink evil as it relates to excessive labor. MT. Bran deis gives facts to support his conten- ton that when the working day is so long that no time is left for mini mum of leisure and recreation relief from the strain of work Is often sought in alcoholic stimulants. In the ex- treme cases" declares MT Brandeis ''the moral breakdown leads to mental degenerancy and criminal acts."-Chi- cago News.

IDEAS, NOT FANcIEs.
The Retired Literary Man Lays Down
 Rule for Composition.
When in doubt-don.t.

When in doubt-don't.
 That. gentleman" said the retired literary man to his class of ambitious young literary aspirants. would Je good maxim for you to hang up over your writing table. its application for your being:
 Don't write unless you have some thing to write.
 Unless an idea comes to you with at least some feature of it sharply defined don't try to write it-now: and never. if you can so train and so deny your selves. mistake mere fancy for an idea We have many pleasing fancies that, bright as they may be. are still but fleeting. intangible: that will not bear mailing down. Don't waste your time trying to put such. fancies into form. for the more you work over them the more you win rend them till you have left of them but colorless shreds many dusty, oobwebs. and like cobwebs finally to be brushed away.
 We have. I repeat, many pleasant fancies which will not bear the rude handling involved in transcription. though in passing they may. as gentle showers do the earth. help to make fruitful our mental field. Enjoy them: but let them pass. content thus to en- joy them. and satisfied with such stim ulation as they may afford. The idea worth writing and worth writing now. say again to you. will come to you with at least some feature of it sharp ly defined: with something about it that will make to you direct living, personal appeal: it will be something that you awake to and greet with grateful smile.
 Which brings me to say that such ideas may still be but vital fragments. perhaps the striking opening. or maybe the felicitious ending of story; or it may be that they will come to you both at once: and happy you well may be if 90 your brain provide you. With what inspiration you may now set out. with what suspicious beginning and with what joyous ardor you may now press on to what .felicitious ending. This is something worth while; a joy to you. as, let us hope. it may be to your reader.
 'Or there may come to you. all alive. an idea that may be vital and yet be but fragment and even as such com plete. not bringing with it any scheme or clear clue. Don't rudely wrestle with this. Treasure it, but put it away, store it in your mind to take root and there to grow. It will attract other ideas to it. gradually but surely if will form and then some day and suddenly perhaps it will say:
 "'Now write mel
 And as you write you may-and with what profound satisfaction,-in the story's foliage discern some of those pleasing fancies that once had charmed you now come back to you. serving now in their only true func- tion to adorn"

THE KITCHEN ELECTRIC.
Now a Permanent Feature in Modern
 Homes.

Ths electric kitchen is as dainty and spotless as the parlor. Shining electric utensils take .he place of greasy pots and pans. The bright little electric stove cooks without a flame. without soot or without dirt of any sort Then there's the cleo tric coffee percolator that takes care of the morning cup and the demi- tasse Same way with the toast There's the little electric toaster that does the slices of bread to turn, making it a pleasant task to toast the bread.
 But the best of all is when wash day comes Space is so economized with the electric appliances that there is ample room for the wonderful electric driven washing machine which washes the finest articles gent ly and thoroughly. without super vision.
 The ironing can be done there. too. with a very neat electric iron. all ways of the same temperature. al ways clean and shining. never soil ing the clothes or even the ironing board.
 The wife with an electric kitchen can appear neat at all times. as she has no dirt and soot to work in and when it comes to appearance the electric kitchen is surely very attrac- tive. But the best of all is when company comes. Here is where the wife with the electric kitchen is ali ways at ease. She can work around there in her pretty afternoon dress and get four course dinner without getting soiled. Hurried or hot.

Mexlco,s HIGHEST MAN.
General Luis Tsrraxas Reported to bs
 Worth at Least $20o, 900, 900.

General Luis Terrazas is Mexico's wealthiest man. General Terrazas Is 70 years old, the same age as Pres- ident Diaz The lives of both men have been full of stirring adventure. It was in reward for daring military service that General Terrazas obtained from the government large gifts of land which placed him upon the road to the great fortune which he now possesses.
 It is conservatively estimated that General Terfazas is worth not less than s2OO.O00,00 His property hold ings are chiefly in the state of Chi huahua. but he also has large invest ments in other parts of the republic.
 General Terrazas is the greatest land and livestock baron in the world. 1t Is said. He owns fifteen ranches in the state of Chihuahua. The ranches em- brace an aggregate area of more than 5000. 900 acres. For many years spe- cial attention has been given to raising horses upon these ranches. More than 5000. 900 head of horses are grazing upon the Terrazas land.
 The mule supply for most of Mexico comes ITOln tut lttId<dS dhthNc- These animals now number more than 1000. 900 head, and are scattered over the different properties. General Ter razas' cattle holdings number more than 100000 head. Several hundred thousand head of goats and sheep graze upon his land. It is said that the choicest grass lands. in northern Mexico are embraced in the Terrazas estate. Streams of running water pass through them and the grass grows luxuriantly the greater. part of the year.
 Some idea of the vastness of these landed possessions may be had when it is known that more than 10000 men are kept constantly looking after the livestock. The services of 1000 men are required to ride the fences" It Is the duty of these fence riders to see that the wires are kept intact, so that the livestock. cannot escape from the pastures. Many thousand miles Of wire were used in constructing the boun- dary fences. More than a score of towns, some of them of considerable size, are upon the ranches.

RIVERS OF DAMASCUS.

The situation of Damascus Is re- markable-she stands isolated on an oasis of the vast desert which every where hems her in. You may see from Damascus the sunset first touch with purple the low western hills twenty five miles away These hills mark the beginning of the great desert-be- yond them there is nothing but a roll ing waste and the long roads to Pal myra and Bagdad The permanence and prosperity of Damascus are due to the presence of two rivers. which have converted this spot of the dreary. desolate. and uninhabited desert into a smiling and well watered plain. The Pharpar approaches only within seven miles of Damascus, but by means of canals and aqueducts sends it's life giving waters to the gardens of the city.
 The Abana is the stream from which the city's main supply of water is ob- tained Minerva-like, it springs full born from the base of perpendicular rock at Ain Fijih. in the heart of the Anti-Lebanon. and runs a course of ten miles in a gorge. large river twenty to thirty feet wide and four feet deep, it's waters always fresh and ice cold. casting out branches every where. permeating every nook and cor ner of the city. until. as one has said, Literally there is, scarce a street. ba- zaar, khan, court yard or dwelling house which has not its marble or stone fountain constantly filled with running water supplied directly by the Abana itself" Thus the Abana, not fruitless- ly wasting her waters on that thirsty land. saves them in her narrow gorge still she can fling them well out on the desert and expends all her life at once in the creation of single city Rihlical World

CH7 WANT TO emphasize what the Editor said
NM in the Garden Special" about the need Of
OA9 good seed in the garden. Not merely seed
that will grow, but seed that will produce the de-
sired form of plant uniformly. 1t is easy to test
the terminating quality of sample Of seed. But
that only shows how large percentage will grow,
and does not show you anything about the quality
of the seed or its power to make uniformly good
crop. 1t is often the that a seed sample that
shows smaller percentage of termination will
be by far the best seed to plant because it has
come from a well culled stock. Stocks of seed of
the same variety of vegetable differ greatly, &C
cording to the care taken by the grower to rogue
out all variant forms and to keep the stock as
pure possible, and this purity of the stock is of
far more importance than the exact percentage of
termination. Of course want many viable
seed as possible, but if we have sample of Wake
field cabbage, for instance, that shows over 80
per cent of germinable seed, but makes all sorts

later, it would be decidedly poorer seed than

you have devoted labor and space TO them. Hence.

type of this cabbage, and when we find sample
that is pure we should at once buy good supply
of that stock, for cabbage seed will keep for years
good The same is true of other vegetables One
stock of Alaska peas may have been careessiy
grown and the varying forms or rogues that run
up tall and are later may not have been welded
out. and there will be loss to the market grower,
while another stock may cost more money, but
being uniform to type, will pay much better than
the other.
