Carlotta Pontiac, a seven year old
Holstein COW owned by the Missouri
College of Agriculture has beaten
the record of the Missouri Chief Jo-
sephine in butter production. She
produi ed during the month of JAN
uary 2146 pounds of milk which
tested 3.57 per cent. This makes

pound more than was produced by
Josephine for her best months fat
production. =
Carlotta Pontiac does not give
the quantity of milk produced by
Josephine but her fat record is very
much higher. She has been milk
ingfor 40 days and in this period of
time has produced 92686 pounds of
milk containing 3051 pounds of

LETTING THEIR LIGHT SHINE
But College Girls as Expert Laun-
dresses Do Not Appeal to Ono
New York Housewife.

College girls who have studied
laundering in their domestic science
course may some time find an oppor-
tunity to apply their knowledge with
out inconveniencing anybody, but
they have not yet reached that idyllic
stage.
Just at present they are an in
tolerable nuisance" said a woman
who has had indirect dealings with
the young graduates. "Since they
have undertaken to uplift the world
through the medium OF the washtub
] haven't had q stitch of clothes fit
to put on.
THAT is because they are trying to
teach my laundress how to wash and
iron. The poor soul has made liv-
ing at the washtub for 10 years and
has brought up four children, yet
those scientific laundresses have con-
cluded that she doesn't know her bus
mess.
There isn't laundress in town
that is safe from intrusion. Some
women with Irish tempers won't be
bothered, but my washerwoman is too
gentle-mannered to refuse instruction,
so for the last month she has been
turning out her weekly wash with
some sweet thing Just out of college
pottering around bossing the Job.
1.-THE poor woman is nearly crazy
and so are her customers. Maybe
If left to themselves the girls can dc
a decent job at laundering; I know
my washerwoman can, but when theil
methods clash both make a botch Of
the job and linen comes home button
less, scorched, and torn."-New Yorl

Beauty Of Woodwork.

There is a friendly atmosphere In
the presence Of much woodwork-not
painted wood, but wood finished to
show the beauty of its natural growth
that is entirely lost in an expanse
of smooth, hard paint. It's mellow
lights and soft shades form far more
restful background than any papered
surface, and its strength and durabil-
ity make a wood finish ideal for q
house that is to suggest the feeling of
permanence and stability that belongs
to the true home.-Suburban Life.

No Steel Pens in Tropics.

The ordinary stel pens used in tenn
perate climates, particularly those
used in the United States, are not
adaptable to the tropics on account of
rusting. This is especially true dur
ing the rainy season and at seaports.
Bronze or brass pens, or those coated
with bronze, do not seem to be thus
affected, Ink deteriorates very quickly
in tropical climates and often has the
consistency of gum. On the ordinary
steel pens this aids the rust and is
hard to wipe off if left for a short
time. With the bronze or brass pen
or with a pen coated with bronze the
coated ink is easily wiped or burnt

TAVERN ALSO A PAWNSHOP
Establishment in the City of London,
England, Is in Enjoyment of
Unique Privilege.

A time-honored London CEng.) city
tavern, the Castle, at the corner Of
Cowcross street, facing Harrington
street, enjoys the unique distinction
OF being also fully licensed pledge
shop. Over the door in the bar, which
gives access to the landlords private
room, and thrown into bold relief by
the official document behind it, the
historic three.sphered symbol is dis
cernible. Any one may here nego-
tiate a loan upon his personal belong
ings without being uAjcr the neces.
sity of first calling for reirshnent.
Formerly the house had a special
pledge counter resembling the modern
Bottle and jug" department, but this
is no longer in evidence.
This strange combination of bust
ness dates from the reign of George
", who, after attending a cock fight
at Hockley-in-the-Hole, applied to the
landlord Of the Castle for temporary
accommodation on the security of his
watch and chain. BY royal warrant a
few days later he invested that oblig-
ing boniface with the right of ad-
vancing money on pledges, and from
that time down to the present a
pawnbroker's license has been annual
ly granted to the Castle. This hostel.
ry is mentioned once or twice by
Dickens in his novels.

Electric Street sweepers.

The municipality of Berlin has
found electrically driven machines for
cleansing the streets much cheaper
than the old horse carts. There are
now twenty-four storage-battery ma
chimes in use. The electric machines
do so much work that each machine
is supposed to save about $1.93 a day
by comparison with a horse-driven
water cart.-The Electrical Review

Before or After

IT thought that in the Is years of
my practice OF medicine" said a ply
sician, 81 had answered almost every
possible foolish question, but a new
one was sprung on me recently. A
young man came in with an infiamed
eye, for which I prescribed IMMINENT
to be dropped into the eye three times
day. He left the surgery, but re
turned in few minutes, poked his
head in the doorway, and asked:
Shall l drop this in the eye before
meals, or after?"

OiIino Shoes,

The best way to keep black leather
shoes from looking worn, and also
from breaking, is to dip small fan
mel rag in olive oil and rub it into
the leather; if it needs further rub
bling or wiping, take fresh, dry flannel
rag and go over it. This method is
good for the woman in mourning, as
it keeps her footwear black without
polishing it, and provides dulled fin
ish.

Street Rules In Paris.

1t is a misdemeanor to throw a
piece Of waste paper upon a Paris
street. If policeman sees you drop
a piece Of paper he walks up to you,
pats you on the shoulder, begs your
pardon for addressing you, tells you
you have violated the law and asks
you to pick up what you have thrown
down.

SHOT 40 HORSES
INJURED IN FIRE
Suspicion That Blaze May
Have Been Started by
East Side BlackmailerS.

Forty horses were shot and killed early
to-day following a FIRE in a stable Of
John Lange. at No. SO Margin street,
during which the animals inhaled hot
smoke from their burning beds. The
shooting was started in the street In

O'Clock. and sent in an alarm. The de-
partment put out the FIRE in short order

a lot OF horses In the street In front Of
the stable. Hayes found LANCE in
charge. and Thomas Ward, a special
agent for the S. p. C. A.. was firing

a big horse fell over in the street dead.
Lange explained to the policeman that
the stable had contained seventy horses
and that forty Of them had inhaled so
much smoke that they were Of no fur

effects of the smoke. lie said that he
sent for the agent in accordance with
tho usual practice In such cases.

thought the stable might rave been fired

the dead take pride in keeping their
last resting places beautifully decorat-

who see it,
The success with which Mr.. Teu-
