How Railroads Create Wealth.

Our marvellous crops would count for
nothing if forced to lie in the fields
where they grow, or driven to seek
such markets only as the farmers
team could reach. The cotton crop,
which brings to our shores annually
nearly half billion dollars Of foreign
gold. would be but a fruitless burden
on southern winds if there were no
railways to carry it to the seaboard.
We take from our mines and forests
and factories twenty billions Of dol
lars each year. but without means OF
transportation these costly products
would be worthless junk.-Robert Ma
ther in LeSlies.

The French Horn.

The French horn, or cor de chasse, is
regarded by some musicians as the
sweetest and snellowest Of all the wind
instruments In Beethoven's time it
was little else than the old hunting
horn, which for the convenience OF the
mounted hunter was arranged in spiral
convolutioRs to be slipped over the
head and carried resting on one shoul-
der and under the opposite arm. The
Germans still call it the waldhorn-
that is, forest horn"

Men In Petticoats,

1t will probably be matter Of sur
prise to the general reader to learn that
the petticoat was first worn exclusively
by men. In the reign of King Henry
VII. the dress Of the English was so
fantastic and absurd that it was diff
cult to distinguish one sex from the
other. In the inventory Of Henry V.
appears ''petticoat Of red damask,

tion of a womans petticoat before the

The dealers have found the delivery man one Of
their chief problems. The most up-to-date re-
tailers try to meet this difficulty by employing
responsible and paying good wages from SIG
to SIS week and appointing foremen, one for
every six or eight wagons. to keep the drivers and
helpers up to their duties
The big ice companies complain bitterly OF the
carelessness of consumers who patronize small re-
tailers OF late years these small dealers have
sprung up all over the city. Many of them are
ignorant immigrants without even rudmentary
lotions of sanitation. They buy their ice from
the wholesalers for about 30 cents cake OF 300
pounds and cut it that each cake brings from
81 to $120 Many store the ice in dirty cellars or
pile it on the curb, in alleys, with no protec-
ton against street dust and infection. They de-
liver it in pushcarts, generally without proper
covering The profits of these ventures large,
and lately the small ice jobbers have extended
their trade from the East Side where the business
originated. TO some Of the best uptown apartment
house sections. In some of the more thickly set
tied parts of the city there is one of these estab-
lishments to every block. They willing to de-
liver at any hour and in any quantity to suit in
dividuai needs a concession that appeals to the
average apartment house dweller, whose mousse
keeping watchword is convenience.
This discussion began at the family ice box
and there II tittlngy may end. with rev com
mon sense suggestions. These taken from
list now in preparation by of the big ice
companies for distribution in pamphlet form 10
customers:
The most important feature of a good refriger-
ator i ample facility for free and easy circulation
of air in the box when closed. Cool air, being
heavier than warm air, sinks. The warm air at
the same time rises The air, which rises
TO the top in the refrigerator, follows the falling
air that has Just been chilled by the ice and
in turn parts with its heat and its moisture and
fallc alongside the ice cake TO the bottom. Hence
there must be suitable passages to allow the
warm air rising from the things placed in the
refrigerator to flow to and the ice at the
top and for this same air, when cooled and puri-
fed by the melting ice, TO return into the food
chamber at or very the bottom. This circu-
lation continues until the temperature in all
parts of the refrigerator is equalized. While
this circulation proceeds the ice mets rapidly.
When the temperature is equalized the ice
relts very slowly indeed; that is, If the door fits
tight il the refrigerator is we'll built and there
are no cracks.
Melting ice absorbs impurities If the water in
the drip pan under the refrigerator is analysed
by competent chemist he can name all the
ticles that stored there
Under no circumstances should any kind of food
or open drink be placed in the same compart-
ment with the ice it interferes with the circula-
ton of air, and Will become contaminated by the
gases and PARTICLES given off by the other foods.
Ice in the refrigerator should never be covered
with anything while there is food in the refrigera-

the ice cake should be available for taking up the
gases and decaying particles given off by the food
in the storage part of the refrigerator and II the
ice does not melt il will have no cooling effect.
The ice compartment should be kept nearly
filled with ice as is practicable. Never allow it TO
be less than one quarter full Of ice; better still,
never less than one-half full, the ice melts
faster, with less cooling effect, when the supply is
low.
The temperature should be kept close to 40 de-
grees Fahrenheit.
The secret OF an economical and advantageous
refrigerator lies in keeping the temperature uni
formly low and keeping the inner walls scrupu-
lousy clean.
Dom; open the ice compartment door except to
put in ice or take il out. The other doors, when
putting in or taking out food should be closed as
quickly as possible.
II makes little difference whether the ice cham
Der is overhead or alongside the food section,
provided the proper arrangement is made for free

the ice and back from the ice to the food COM
