A charming little sewing table of

ly gift. This table is square and

Sunf1ower Seed.

A small patch of sunflowers makes
ideal shade and furnishes excellent
feed for fall use. Economy demands
that poultry be kept in comfortable
houses, not warm, stuffy, damp. ill
smelling places, but in dry, well-venti-
lated houses, free from drafts. All
windows should be removed in the
spring and left open until the cold
weather. Economy also demands that
only good stock be kept and that the
poor producers be disposed OF. Hens
must also be kept free from lice and
mites. s@

evening when the fire department

The fire started from the pas

the walls of the res aurant and the
harness shop, and for that reason
was not noticed until the flames
burst through the roof.

Rrltaln,s STRANGE Sect.

The Jezreelites Of Gillingham, In
Kent, England, have once more been
brought prominently before the pub
lie in the old country. The founder
Of thir strange sect. which is but little
known in these days, was certain
James White, private in the Six
teenth regiment, who, on his CONVEX
sion, took the names of James Jer-
shom Jezreel." White gathered en-
thusiasts round him and, like the
early Christians, the Jezreelites had
all things in common. It was a prin-
ciple of the sect that its members
were the first portion Of the $4,000,
twice told, who shall receive Christ
when he appears to reign on earth.
Shortly after the foundation OF the
sect, "Jezreel' and his followers COM
menced to build a huge temple, In
tended to hold 10000 people, near
Chatham. "Jezreel" died in 1885, and
the work was never completed, but
the temple-tenantless and bare-sur-
wives today as memento OF one OF
the maddest Of modern dreams.

"Once upon time," writes an

humbug was looked upon as strictly
American product. With its habitat in
the land of Uncle Sam, the echo OF
it's hum might sometimes reach be-
yond the sea, but the bug itself, 1t
was supposed, could never live and
thrive except in the country which
had produced the wooden nutmeg, Car
diff giant and the army Of worthless
mine promoters. But the humbug has
become an institution in Germany,
and some American tourists who
climb mountains incautiously win rea-
lie the fact when the edelweiss
which they took home as proof OF
their deeds is discovered to be a
sham, made In this city, with intent
to deceive"

MUCH STREET WORK

Construction Of Streets and

The public works Of Chanute has
furnished q good number OF mer
with work this year. On the con-
struction of streets a conservative
estimate of the men employed Is
twenty per..day and on the sewer the
number will average fourteen and
this work has been going on tol
eight months.
During the year West First street
has been macadamized from Steu.
ben avenue to Western avenue;
West Second street has been macad'
amized from Garfield to Lafayette.
South Lafayette avenue macadam'
ICED from Main street to Seventh.
South Highland avenue paved with
brick from Tenth to Fourteenth
street and S. Ashby macadamlzed
from Main to the middle OF the
block between Third and Fourth
streets. All of the paving is OF
uniform width, a. feet.
The street paving has been done
mostly in the Fourth and Third
wards, but public work has not
been neglected in the First and
Second wards, as main sewer num-
Der three comes through both OF
them. Work on this has been 60.

OF the regular gang of men who
keep those improved streets clean
The month of December has been a
sime of general cleaning up OF the
improved streets in the residence
district. In the report of Superin
tendent Lofgren it is stated that
three hundred and twenty-five loads
of average size of dirt and filth have
been hauled off of the streets. This
expense together with the repairs
general and teose on culverts and
putting in new side walks brings the
expense for the month for the street
department Sa5a.95. Of this over
saoo was spent for cleaning the
streets. There are over thirteen
miles of improved streets to clean
and when one figures the number of
feet that means, and double that to
get the number of feet of. gutter,
the result becomes startling. Thir-
teen and half miles reduced to feet
brings the number to 1890 feet
and the cutters on both sides are
subjected to cleaning which makes
the total number of feet to be gone
over, I46, 500.

cIeonatra,s Pearl.

Most persons know the story that
is told Of Cleopatra to illustrate her
luxurious habits of living-that she
dissolved in her wine a precious pearl,
No one seems yet to have questioned
what must have been the effect upon
the drink, but scientists seoff at the
possibility of such solution.
The fact is pearls are not soluble
in wine. The most powerful vinegar
affects them slowly, and never en-
tirely dissolves them, for the organic
matter remains behind, in the shape
Of a spongy mass that is larger than
the original pearl.
