Visiting cards on which MIR. and
Mrs is engraved have come promi-
ncntly into use this season. For sew.
eral years they we're rarely seen ex-
cept when accompanying gifts and
even then, separate cards from the
man and woman we're more often
used. But now the double card has
its place in every card case, though
custom has not yet entirely decided
the detail of its use.
In paying visits a married woman,
calling upon another who is married,
may leave one of the Mr.. and Mrs.
cards. and then a single one of the
mans, the separate card being for the
husband of the hostess. But many
smart women are of the opinion that
two cards of such extremely different
size do not look well together, and so
when more of the mans than of the
wifcs are to be left. they cling to
those entirely separate, using their
Mrs" and two of the Mr." Never.
theless, good form sanctions the other
method.
When a married woman calls upon
a single woman, be she spinster or
widow. she is expected to leave just
one of the double cards. This is far
smarter than hers and the husbands
separately.
In sending presents of any kind
even flowers, if they go from a mar
ried woman the double card is used
1t is correct to write line of good
wishes or coincidence, If one desires
but it is not altogether elegant, the
theory being that, should one wish to
say anything. a note must be written
as a card is to bear the name only.
In size the double cards are appre
ciably larger than even the extreme
varieties for a married woman. The
same type is used, the preference be-
ing for old English or block, the name
to be written in full. initials being
incorrect.
Rather heavier pasteboard is used
than was in vogue several years ago
but it could not by any chance be
called thick.
A cream is preferred to an ivory
tone. Addresses, including the mum
bers. are written in full, figures being
regarded as an abbreviation. .-Rosan

Largest Cabbage Grower i'm Britain.
John Gilies of Prestonpans may
fairly be termed the king of cabbage
growers. He sometimes turns out
2,500,00O cabbage plants in one day,
about $50 workpeople being en-
gagged. The ground cleared was be-
tween six and seven acres, and sew
enteen work horses were employed
In carting. ploughing, and recrop-
ping the land as fast as the plants
were cleared off The wages paid
range from los. to 50 los. per week.
The North British Railway Company
run a special train daily for the con-
veyance of that portion of his plant
traffic which is distributed, per the
various passenger trains, to different
parts of the country. The heaviest
part of the cabbage plant traffic Is,
of course, sent per ordinary goods
train. AS to the turnout of full
grown cabbages, recent days out
put was 3,100 dozens, and that
quantity is often exceeded. Last
year Mr.. Gillies put on rail $500
dozen in one day. His turnout OF
leek plants on one day recently was
upward of 300,000.-London Tit

mineral wool, or some similar sub.
stance, to prevent the movement of
the air entangled in the fibres, and
thus check the transference by con-
nection of heat from the outside OF
the lining wall.
A roof of thick plank will keep out
the heat far better than one of thin
boards with an air space under it.
Shingles will be much better for
roofing than slate.
1t is necessary to ventilate the up
per portion of the building. II no
ventilation is provided, the confined
air under the roof becomes intense
ly heated in summer; and outlets
should be provided, at the highest
part, with inlets at convenient points,
to keep the temperature of the air
over the ice at least down to that of
the exterior atmosphere.

A Curious Mistake.

A married couple stood looking into
shop window. A handsome tailor
made dress took the lady's fancy, and
she left her husbands side to exam
inc It more closely. Then she went
back to where he had been standing
and took his arm.
you never look at anything | want
to look att" she exclaimed. You
don't care how | dress You don't
care for me now! Why, you haven't
kissed me for three weeks!"
Indeed, I am sorry. 1t is not my
fault, but my misfortune!" said the
man.
Turning round she looked at him
and gasped. She had taken the arm
of the wrong man.

FREAKS OF THE TRADE RAT.
He May Steal, but Is Very Careful
to Leave Something in Exchange.


One of the oldest little animals In
existence is the California wood rat,
better known as the trade rat" It
owes the latter name, says the
Strand, to the fact that, though II is
a great thief, it never steals any
thing without putting something
else in its place.
The story is told of paste pot
which had been left over night in the
assay Office at the Silver Queen Mine,
and which was found in the morning
filled with the oldest collection of
rubbish.
A description is given of a trade
rats nest found in an unoccupied
house. The outside was composed
entirely of iron spikes laid in perfect
symmetry, with the points outward.
Interlaced with the spikes were
about two dozen forks and spoons
and three large butcher knives.
There were also "A large carrying
fork, knife and steel, several plugs
of tobacco, an old purse, a quantity
of small carpenter tools, including
several augurs and watch, of which
the outside casing, the glass, and the
works were all distributed separate
| ly so as to make the best show possi-
BILE. Altogether the oldest collection.
None of these things was of any
earthly use to the rats. They must
have collected them just in the same
way that child boards up odds and
! ends to play with.

things, and the latter are only slight
ly in the majority. One of the form
er, a California man, designed the
skirt gauge shown in the illustration.
This consists in a base plate, with
guideways and an upright backing
plate. A gauge plate, corresponding
with the backing plate. is movably
mounted on the base and is held in
position by spring. The gauge
plate has a series of slots running up
it TO permit of the garment being
marked The skirt is placed between
the two upright plates and the device
is moved around it's whole circumfer-
ence. The amount to be taken OFF the
garment Is measured on the gauge
plate and by means OF a piece OF
chalk this length can be marked of as
the device circles the cloth. AS will
be readily noted. the line thus drawn
is necessarily accurate and there is
no danger OF taking on more cloth In
one part than In another

Lazy Ssmoans.

make a collection OF Slmoan fishes.
He found it almost impossible to per-

that they seldom go fishing, to sell
him any. An offer of gold tempted
them no more than silver; they had
caught their fish to eat them. and eat

EXHIBITS SOME
DISEASED DUCKS

Saturday a. NJ, Wander Nlies OF West
Twcnty-fourth street, a former fish
and game warden, caught a number
OF sick ducks on the duck grounds
near the lake northwest of the city
and brought them 10 the city as a
matter of curiosity, They We're easily
caught because they are partially par
alyzed in their legs.
The birds are as fat as can be and
appear TO be in a healthy condition
except that paralysis In some form
has stricken them. They are able to
move about some and II Is evident that
there Is plenty OF feed for them on or
near the grounds for they are fat
They also appear bright and look
sharply out of the eyes. Mr. Wander
Nlies is OF the opinion that the birds
are suffering some form of cholera
that effects their locomotion.
There are a good many OF the ducks
In the neighbOrhood visited by Mr.
Wander Vlies afflicted with this dis
ease and the gentleman Is Of the
opinion that they ought not to be
shot at this tlmo. He believes. how
ever. that the ducks will quito recover
from the disease before the end OF
the shooting season. The birds
brought to the city by Mr.. Wander
Vlles were turned over TO the mayor
and. under the advice OF State Fish
aud Game Commissioner Chambers.
they were turned loose on Ogden river.
