Conductors For Whom the Orchestra
Is Merely Pedestal.
DR.. Max Nordau has an amusing ar
ticle in the Paris Revue on the evolu-
ton Of the orchestra conductor. For
merly the conductor was a modest
man who took infinite pains with the
rehearsals and effaced himself on the
great day Of the public concert.
Nowadays he is a hero. You only
see him. The orchestra is merely a
pedestal for him. In the French army
Of former days there was parsonage

There was Gustav Mailer. the most
astounding artist in dumb show. All

SWEET POTATOES IN JAPAN.
One Of the Three Things There Native
Women Really Love.


The sweet potato seems to have
emigrated from China via the Loo
Choo islands to Japan. Nearly two
centuries ago Aoki Konyo recommend
ed to the shotgun the cultivation Of the
sweet potato all over the empire. In
grateful memory Of the benefactor
there now stands over Aoki's grave a
monument with this unique inscrip-
ton, "The potato professor"
One Of the distinguishing features
Of Tokyo is the sweet potato bakeries,
where, during the colder months. hot
potatoes prove a godsend to many.
Around these potato shops the poorer
children crowd with their coppers,
anxious for the morsel which is to
them what milk chocolate is to chill
dren of the west Rumor has it that
there are but three things the Japa-
nese woman really loves-pumpkin.
theater going and sweet potato.
At present there are more than 1000
potato ovens in Tokyo. and the sale of
roast potatoes annually totals more
than 100000 yen. In no country in
the world can the poor people get pure,
wholesome food more conveniently and
economically than in Japan. Whether
one gets box of rice with pickles and
dry fish in station or pot of tea for
21a cents on the train. it is always
clean and attractively served.-Detroit

PROPAGATING SHRUBS.

Garden Work Is Never Over-It Is a
Continuous Performance. 3
When the late flowers have been cut
down by the frosts it might be pre-
sumed that the time for garden activi-
ties is over. But as a fact, garden
work is never over. 1t is one continu-
Gus performance that anticipates sea-
sons by months, and to this early prep
aration is due the success Of our sum-
mer gardens. When the tulips are put
into the ground the winter is marching
along fast but there is work to be
done just at this time which will bear
fruit the next summer
Just before the ground freezes hard
cover up piece with leaves or litter.
or anything that will keep out the
frost. for it is in this ground that any
Of the shrubs for which you may have
fancy are to be propagated.
Do you want hydrangeas or weigla
or privet or dogwood or forsythia? If
you care for these now is your chance
to get great many for almost nothing.
With sharp knife make as many cut
tings as you want plants and throw in
20 per cent for good measure. Bury
these cuttings all. but two inches and
by spring they will be young plants
ready to plant out This is what is
called ''sweating," or making little
sticks into large bushes under the
snow.
The question Of getting stock is sim
pie. No one would refuse you permits
sion to take few sticks off their n.y.
drangeas or other shrubs in the middle
of the winter. Stock is possible if one
has sharp knife. The handiest and
most satisfactory way to proceed is as
follows: Make trench about four
teen inches deep, and long enough to
accommodate all the cuttings you
make. Make the cuttings little long
er than the trench is deep and put
them in the trench either singly or in
bundles, and pack the earth hard about
them. Cover well with enough leaves
to keep out the frost.
When the frost has gone out of the
ground throw back the blanket from
your cuttings and take them out. On
the ends of fully so per cent of all you
put in the ground will be found swol-
len rings. and from these will start the
roots that are to make plants Of the
sticks. Now separate the cuttings and
plant them in their proper locations.
and it will not be long before you have
the pleasure Of seeing leaves sprout.
This is profitable winter work, making
possible a stock of choice things for
which there is always use about q
house.-Country Gentleman.

The Skepticism Of Posterity.

There is one very large. very sad
and very certain truth about all the re.
lations of past and future. That truth
is this-the future will not believe us.
1t will not believe our most solemn and
profound assertions. 1t will rationalize
them or ridicule them. In one way or
another it will explain them away. for
that is the most certain thing about the
attitude of men toward their remote
ancestors. They will believe the testi-
mony Of material things or Of their own
conjectures. but never the sworn word
Of their fathers. Were it not so there
would be no room for historical criti-
cism or perhaps for history as sci
ence at all.-Hillaire Belloc in Pail

into convenient sterilizing vat. The
only things necessary are a tight fit
ting cover and false bottom.
The false bottom Is absolutely neces-
sary in order to prevent the jars from
coming in contact with the bottom of
the sterilizing vat. causing them to
break during the boiling. For this
purpose an ordinary No. 16 wire net
ting of half inch mesh. which is cut
to fit the bottom of the boiler. can be
used. If the netting is not available
thin pieces of wood or almost any
thing of this kind will answer the pur-
pose. A patent open door steam cook
er is even more convenient than a
clothes boiler. If neither of these is
available deep saucepan or bucket
tightly covered will answer the pui-
pose.

There Was No Reason Why She Should
Dread the Indians.
Among the frontiersmen who closely
followed the footsteps Of Lewis and
Clark across the Rockies was Colonel
Joseph L. Meek. He settled in Ore
gon, and, like all the earliest pioneers,
he was obliged to choose his helpmate,
so the Portland Oregonian says, from
among the dusky maidens of the for

During the early settlement of the
territory the Cayuse Indians were
quite menacing in their demonstrations
of hostility to the little band Of pio-
neers, so much so indeed that a meet
ing of the settlers assembled to take
munity resolved to send two Of their
number across the mountains to i'm
plore aid from the government at
Washington.
Colonel Meek and Squire Eberts
were appointed, and they set out
across the mountains and the deserts
and in due time reached their destina-
ton. While there the colonel was in

the political notables. He was intro

But your wife," began the lady in a
lull between thrilling narratives, "or
