Where "Willow"
Plumes Are Made.

The tying of the fiues of willow"
plumes-the sweeping artifcaial os-
trich feathers of the present fashion
has become during the last two
years very extensive industry in
New York tenements. The factories
where these feathers are made are
chiefly located in the Italian districts
of the upper East Side. On some
streets the ground floor and first
floor of almost every house is occu-
pied by small factories and work
shops, and during the season-from
March to June, and September to
Decenlber-the window of every
factory has a sign in Italian:
Women wanted to work in willow"
Most of the curling and dyeing of
the feathers is done in the factories;
but seventy per cent. of the Twill.
lowing"-the most lengthy and mo.
notonous part of the trade-is done
In the tenements.
"Willowing" consists in tying to
every "fue" or fllmy stand of good
ostrich feather two strans stripped
from inferior ostrich feathers. The
work is paid for by the inch; five or
six cents an inch in the homes for
black plumes and cent less for
white. The inch is measured on the
stem Of the original feather, and
involves the tying of IT,
delicate knots for each
inch of finished work. A tenement
worker cannot make an eighteen
inch feather in less than one and
half or two days. She is paid seven.
ty-two or ninety cents for this work.
The feather sells at retail anywhere
from eight and a half to twenty-five
dollars.

NEW BERRY.
New Product Called Rasp.
berry-Strawberry.

Illinois horticulturists are excited
about a new berry, of which W. D.
James, of Atlanta, ILL.,. has a speci
men, and which, if the claims made
for it are true, may revolutionize the
berry industry.
The berry. which is called the
raspberry-strawberry. has been
grown at Quincy, it is said, and is a
cross between the strawberry and
the raspberry. 1t is said to have
originated by accident, bees carrying
pollen from one berry's blossom to
the others. A Quincy farmer who
has grown the berry for three years
says the bush is about three feet
high, the stock being covered with
thorns like raspberry. The fruit
is dry and requires sugar and cream
to bring out the flavor. 1t has
more delicate flavor than either the
strawberry or the raspberry, and
there is lingering after flavor.
According to reports, the Quincy
grower made $500 out Of patch of
these berries 100 feet long and 8 feet
wide, selling the fruit at Is cents a
quart. No cultivation, it is said, is
needed for the berry, In the fall or
early spring the stalks are moved
close to the ground, and the new
shoots that follow bear the fruit,
their growth being so vigorous as to
kill Of the weeds that spring up

BALKINs LIVE LONG.
Some of Them Attain Age of
$50 Years.

Prince Metchnikoff, undoubtedly
the greatest biologist, finds that the
greatest average age attained by
members Of the human race is in the
Balkins. There are people living in
the mountains whose claim to 100
years seems pretty well established.
OF course, the records are msager,
or lacking, but the claims of the
aged are largely confirmed by the
living generations in descent from
them, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t is Metchnikoff's theory that
their great age is due to the diet,
which is comprised to a very large
extent of sour milk. He holds that
the ferments in certain preparations
of sour milk kill the germs in the
larger intestine, which is the princi.
pal location of those germs which
eventually produce that decay which
we call old age, and reduce the
working powers below the living
limit. He thinks that it is possible
for US to copy this diet and thus live
TO a much greater age than now,
but so far he hasn't induced many
persons to try it. To live $50 years
on a diet of sour milk has few at
fractions to those who like to eat for
the sake of their appetites.

REsUScITATIoN.
How to Revive Drowning
Persons.

The following rules for reviving
persons rescured from the water
were Issued by the health department
Of the City of New York, and being
concise and complete, we reproduce
them for the information and guild
ance Of the inexperienced.
First-Loosen the clothing; place
the face downward, with the fore.
head resting on one side. Open the
mouth; seize the tongue between the
fingess, covered with handkerchief
or piece of cloth, and draw it for
ward between the teeth; clear the
mouth and throat from mucus by
passing the forefnger, covered with
handkerchief or piece of cloth. far
back into the mouth, thus opening a
free passage to the windpipe.
Second-Turn the body face up
ward, shoulders resting on folded
coat or pillow; keep tongue drawn
forward; raise the arms backward
and upward to the sides of the head;
this expands the chest and allows
the air to enter the lungs. Then
slowly move them downward, bend
ing them so that the elbows will
come to the sides and the hands
cross on the pit of the stomach, and
press them gently but strongly
against the sides and chest. This
forces the air out of the lungs. Con-
tinue these two movements, which
produce artificial breathing, very
deliberately about ten or twelve
times in a minute, and without ceas-
ing until the patient breathes
naturally, or until satisfied that life
is extinct.
Third-While this is being done, a
little friction on the chest may be
produced by rubbing gently with
warm flannel, and the body may be
stripped and then wrapped IN dry
blankets
After natural breathing begins,
continue very gently for a few
minutes the two movements which
produce artificial breathing.
After natural breathing is fully
restored give the patient teaspoon
full of brandy, hot sling or tea, two
or three times a minute, until the
beating of the pulse can be felt at
the wrist.
Rub the arms and legs upward,
and the feet and hands with warm
or dry flannel.
Apply hot cloths to tina body, legs
and arms, and bottle of hot water to
the feet.
Do not be discouraged if anima-
tion does not return in a few
minute. The patient sometimes re-
covers after hours of labor. A
Do not allow the tongue to fall
back and closethe windpipe while the
arms are being worked.
Do not rub the legs and arms until
natural breathing is restored.
Do not put any liquid in the
mouth until natural breathing is re
stored
Do not roll the body nor handle it
roughly.
Do not allow the head to hang

Speaker mt Ames Says 1t Prevented
Bread Famine Here.

AMES, Ia. Jan. 9.-(Special.) )-Albert
Summers of the Chicago Grain exchange
spoke to the short course students Thurs
day evening on the methods followed by
the Chicago Board of Trade. He told Of
the need of such board and of the benefit
to the farmer OF buying and selling for
future delivery, He said that such a
system acted as balance wheel and pre-
vented extremely low prices when heavy
crops came onto the market, with corre-
spondlngly high prices later. He spoke
highly of Patton, making the statement
that his corner" OF the market so raised
the price Of American wheat that 1t stopped
exports and so prevented bread famine
in this country. p.
Friday evening Vice President Merritt
Greene OF the Small Grain Growers as
ISOLATION spoke on the work the associa-
ton hoped to accomplish. He stated that
the loss on each acre of oats grown in
Iowa Is rs cents. The association hopes to
turn that into a profit Of $3.50 The associa-
tion is attempting, to get local elevators
to buy grain according to grade, instcad
of paying a flat price no matter what the
grade. He said that he had found that
il samples of grain from the same bin were
sent to a commission firm in Chicago from
a dozen different places in the grain grow
ing states different price would be quoted
on each sample. This. is because commits
sion firms have tcoWe TO grade grain more
on the locality from which It came than on
the grain itself, The association hopes to
remedy this condition. ,
Secretary Bell in his report, stated that
the association had, at present eighty-three
active and sixty-six associate members He

petimehts with the new variety of oats
which he imported from Canada last spring
