BEANS IN BOSTON.
The Millions of Quarts That Are An.
nuaIly Baked and Eaten.

.
nually Baked and Eaten.
Boston baked beans are known
around the globe. In the city of Bos-
ton alone about 100000 quarts of
baked beans are devoured annually, to
say nothing of the pork that goes with
them and the brown bread that is also
served. There are factories Or baker
les which handle nothing but baked
beans from one years end to the other.
One of the largest of these, which sup
plies restaurants wholly, bakes $4,000
quarts of beans a week. Other baker
les also furnish brown bread, while
nearly every bakeshop that makes
bread, pastry and pies also bakes
beans several times Il week. There
are bakeries with ovens that will hold
1000 quarts each.
The preparation and baking of beans
are interesting operations. In estab-
lishments where beans only are baked
it is done en- Il huge scale. There are
great kettles that hold two or three
bushels of beans, and into these the
beans are put to soak and parboil.
Then the pots of earthenware varying
in size from one quart to two gallons.
are ranged around on tables and filed
from the big kettles. Every quart of
beans~~fs carefully picked over and
sorted and cleaned of all dirt and dead
beans before being put into the kettles
The ovens are huge brick affairs, glow
ing red with heat. Experts consider
that beans cannot be properly cooked
except in a brick oven. Some of the
ovens hold 1000 quarts each. Filled
with the loaded pots, they present a
sight worth beholding. SO hot are the
ovens that long handled fiat shovels
are used to push the pots in and take
them out.-New York Tribune.

Public Drinking Cup.

The public drinking cup is under the ban, but it has not been banished It will probably take some time to so educate the sanitary and esthetic taste of the ordinary run of men that they will shun a public drinking cup. Opin- ion is developing against it, however, and it is doomed.
 Some men may be led into sanitary habits, some have to be driven into these habits. and then watched, and some men must have sanitation ham mered into them. Some men have such confidence in their vigor and strength of constitution that they seem to con slider themselves immune to the ills that flesh is heir 10. Some have such lack of confidence in the theory of germs and well based opinions of san itary experts that they expose not on- ly themselves but everybody else with whom they come in contact. Post a. spring, pump or well as unsafe, and if the water is clear and cool any mum Der of men will slake their thirst there and laugh at the danger sign.
 The public drinking cup Is q public enemy. Tn parks, schools and railway coaches 1t continues to do extensive work as a disease convoyor. The bub- bling fountain is performing a great service. But it involves a new way of drinking, and many persons are as set in their way of drinking as in their way of thinking. Anything new is rev. oIutionary. men who would shun a dirty tea cup will embrace a dirty dip- per.-WashfnEton Star.

Living on IS Cents a Day.

F. V. M. Long. a Harvard senior, has a simple way of getting the best of hard times. Anybody can master 1t who is able and willing to live oil dollars worth of food a week. ''It IS easy enough to live on IA or 15 cents day." he says. It's easy. when you've worked it out to two things-system and habit First 8 man has got to find out the greatest amount of nour- ishment that given allowance of money will bring and so arrange his diet that it will best fit his individual needs That's system. Second he has got to get used to eating those things right along and forget that variety .s the spice of life. That's habit Of The two habit counts the most. man can live on almost anything and thrive on it if he can only get used to it and has the grit to stick to the kind of food he has chosen. The present day stand ards of living are just the absurd re- suits of habits which have been pam pered.-( (EXchange.)

The Necessity for a Trust.

There are a half million automobiles in the United States. it has been esti- mated, representing a total investment of about $750,000, ,000. If it is true, as declared, that each machine costs $1,000 a year for running expenses and repairs, there is $500, 900 ,o00 added every twelvemonth to the original out lay
 The newspapers were rather sur prised few months ago to learn that J. Pierpont Morgan was planning gigantic merger of the automobile fac tories There appeared no particular necessity for such a trust. The com panies have all, or nearly all. been making money. Their arrangements for buying material and their selling contracts seemed on the whole to be satisfactory. combination was scarce demanded by loss in manufac- ture, Generalization of prices corn petition or high costs for marlteting- the usual excuses for trust forming.
 The trouble with the newspaper peo- pie was that they examined the auto mobile industry for signs indicating a necessity for merging. The lens was not turned in the right direction. Where the necessity existed for MT. Morgan's intrusion was in Wall street. Here was this money, $760, ,000, ,0O0, plus an annual expenditure of $500, ,000, GOO. and all of it that Wall street had to handle was the stock and dividends of the General Motors company, $l6,000.- 900 in stock and SIP 2,000,000 in divi- dends, pitiful share of the piclSings

Trouble breeders we find in all or ganizations Dishonest sp5rts we find in many a game. Now she Eastern Connecticut league is made up of gen. tlemen who I think are not of the type mentioned above, especially the mana gers and the unpireS that have been chosen by the officials of this league, and I want the highest of respect shown to all officials of the league and especially the umpires. Yes. the um- pires are the officials that l have most in mind as not being used right many times by the managers, and most of the time by the players. If this kind Of work is not stopped (and the man. agers must take a hand in stopping iD, it's going to drive the league to dis honest umpirinS- Why? Because an honest man won't stand the abuse that is put at him from the manager and players. Would you stand it, MT. Manager? Oh, no, not for $25i That s what we hear, and we often hear the remark that an honest man is fool to be ridiculed in such a manner, espe- cially by managers and players of the league.
 From spectators we expect some slang and remarks that may not be of the pleasantest sayings, but this is very few, and a class of sports that are below the standard, but they are very few and we can stand them, as the managers can have attending po- lice to handle that element.
 Remember, a league is what you make it, and the manag gers and players are the makers. Um mpires are appoint ed by the recommendation of managers and when they have no one to recon- mend then the president appoints the best men he can get to act in the cE- pacity that will stand for the insults of players and sometimes managers.
 Now let us see things go smoother with less fault finding. I know that every manager has a pennant winning team, but we have only one pennant flag, so five teams must lose it and take their hats off to the six, then pre- pare for the following season of 1911.

IRON MEN DoN'TILAsT.
McGinnity and Chesbro Worked Like Horses, But They're Back Numbers Now.

It is all right to be an "iron man." but when a pitchers wing is substan- t1al enough to entitle him to this metallic sobriquet he must possess the cheers while they last and avoid the misses when they come, for they will come in time. As the baseball world is aware, an 'iron man" is one who can work at least four games a week and be ready to act the main stem in a double header in between, if any are carded to be played The iron man" must be always willing to un- loosen some of the steel in his arm for the benefit of his club.
 Joe McGinn1ty used to be the best iron man. in the business. He could pitch a double engagement today and go in and wheel again tomorrow. And he used to win the majority of his games. That's why he was regarded as the best iron man. Joe did his most superb work when McGraw was erecting pennant poles at the Polo Grounds This was more than five years ago. At present McGinnity is not twirling for the Giants Too many iron man" entertainments made him lose his National league effectiveness Now he is managing the Newark club of the Eastern league, and pitching once or twice a week.
 The iron men" of the newer base ball era are no longer iron men," Pack Chesbro leading pitcher of the Amer ican league in 1904, is farming today. Jack is done for so far as the use of his big league arm is concerned. Ed Walsh was the iron man" of 1908. He pitched 66 games, winning 40, losing 15 and tieing one. In the otheg 10 he was taken out once and finished nine games. What did 'Spftballer lsd' do East season? Not very much He won 15 and lost Il games. That record dose not compare fAvorably with that of the previous year, does 1t? Of course nobody can correctly proemost Arate what Walsh is going to do this sum 1ner, but if he again pitches star ball he can be regarded, as more or less of a marvel
