Elevator Rope IN Coal Mines.

One Of the most impressive things
about colliery. 70 an outsider. Is the
mammoth drum which winds the rope
which brings coal up from the pit This
monster drum may measure $50 feet
In circumference, and weigh about 200
tons, and II will wind In the rope with
It's load at a speed Of nearly 60 miles
an hour. There are miles Of the rope.
when the pit Is deep one, like the
Yorkshire Main colliery's, whose YER
teal shaft holds the record for depth
by going down nearly 1000 yards, and
for long distances horizontally. The
rope costs $40 yard and its maximum
life Is three and one-half years. Every
inch of 1t passes each day through q
mans hands for examination. Shaft
accidents are very rare.

Most people have fondness Of cab
bage, served In one way or another,
as 1t contains large quantities Of the
mineral salts so essential in the diet.
Early cabbage Is especially desirable,
as II furnishes green food at time
when it Is needed.
In giving suggestions on growing
cabbage, garden specialists of the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture
say the proper variety must be plant,
ed. Some kinds require longer pc
Rod for their growth than others. Jer-
sey Wakefield and Charleston Wake
field are most universally planted for
the early crop, Jersey Wakefield be-
ing considered earliest of all. The va
riety known as All Seasons has
round, fiattened head and is a good
intermediate sort. Copenhagen Mar
ket is a large, round-headed early
cabbage that is very much in favor
among market gardeners. Late Flat
Dutch and Danish Ballhead are con-
sidered the leading late varieties.

Plants must be started indoors, In

point farther South where the season
Is advanced, If extra early cabbage is
TO be grown. One or two cigar boxes
filled with fine soil and placed In a
south window will form a seedbed
for starting 100 to 200 cabbage plants.
The little seedlings must be trans
planted to larger boxes or to cold
frame when they begin to crowd each
other in the seed boxes. Cabbage
plants are quite hardy. and along the
South Atlantic coast are grown In the
open by the acre.
Plant early cabbage in the richest

worked into the soil all the rotted ma
nure that can be spared and then add

Strange Leaees.

For weird leases London would be
hard to beat In some instances, says q
correspondent. He dealt with houses
lately which were for sale and found
that the ground landlord was the duchy
Of Cornwall. the leaseholder paying an
annual ground rent OF fourpence And
this fourpence was sent every, year In
an envelope which cost twopence, and Il
cost the duchy twopence to acknowk
edge receipt "But there is stranger
lease In the north Of London" he said :
"some houses there are leased until
the death Of the duke Of C0nnaughl

feet Of row. The fertilizer should be
soil over space the full width Of the
row, which Is generally 8 feet.
Do not plant cabbage on land where
It was grown last year, especially II
any Of the heads were diseased or
showed any kind of trouble. 1t Is al
ways a good plan to rotate crops, even
In the small home garden. Cabbage
Is subject to several diseases, but for
tunately these do not do much harm
In small gardens. Insects, however,
play havoc with the crop from the
time It is planted. Cutworms are gen.
orally waiting in the soil during early
spring to cut off the stems Of the cab
bage plants just at the surface of the
ground.
Protect Plants Frop. cutworms.
The best remedy. or rather proven
tive, is to place bands or tubes of stiff
paper around the stems Of the plants
as they are being set in the garden.
Thin cardboard makes ideal plant pro-
t4ctors. By cutting the cardboard In
to strips about inches wide, sections
can be cut off and rolled around
lead pencil to form a tube. The pro-
tectors should extend an inch below
the surface and at least 2 inches
above. After the stems of the cab
bage plants have become toughened
and begin to grow rapidly the pro-
tectors can be taken off.
Cabbage worms, the eggs for which
are laid by the light-yellow butterflies
that are often seen flying about the
cabbage plants, do great amount of
damage. busting the foliage and the
heads with air-slaked lime, to which
q little paris green has been added,
or spraying them with arsenate of
lead, one ounce to gallon Of water,
are both effective. There is no danger
as the heads grow from the inside and
the outer leaves, to which the poison
is applied, are all removed.
Many substances are used In the
operation of tapping pistons. Among
them are fine emery dust, ground glass
and rotten stone, of which the latter
gives best results. When the glass is
used there is always possibility that

Lyman J. Gage. who celebrates his S5th
birthday today, was numbered among the
leaders in American banking and finance,
until his retirement from active affairs
some years ago. 4 native of New York
state. at the age of 10 he1wont ia ClBcngu
to seek his fortune and found employment
as a bookkeeper with lumber concern.
Later he entered the employ of one of
the Chicago banks in a similar capacity
and in less than six months was promoted
to the position of paying teller. He soon
gave unmistakable evidence of the posses
sion of a high character Of banking genius.
In 1891 he had risen to the presidency of
the largest bank in Chicago and was rec
ognized as one of the foremost financierS
in the West. His great financial abilities
were brought to the service of the govern
meut when he accepted the treasury port
folio in the Mckinley cabinet, in 1897. a
position he continued to fill for five years.
In 1902 he resigned to become president
of a trust company in New York city.
Upon reaching his 10th year he retired
from business and has since resided in
southern California.

Your Parents and Grandparents

as a rule, believed in doctoring with
natures remedy, the ife-giVing extracts
of leaves, roots and herbs, and you must
admit that a very large majority of them
lived to a ripe old age; the same treat
ment that kept them so well and vigorous
will keep you the same.
SEVEN BARKS is made from the ex-
tracts of several different kinds of leaves,
roots and herbs, and has for nearly 80
years been recognized as the most re-
liable remedy for correcting and prevent
ing disturbances of the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Get the stomach and
bowels working right and most other all
ments will vanish.
SEVEN BARKS restores a healthy,
natural bowel action, in most cases it pro-
notes appetite, and quickly puts the di-
gestive organs in shape to assimilate food,
also acts on the liver and kidneys. Fail
IRE of these to act properly allows the
whole body to be poisoned, and brings
about other complications.
The principal cause of backaches is the
kidneys when they don't perform their
duty, and if not flushed and the pOiSons
thrown off, serious trouble will happen.
SEVEN BARKS will not only relieve
kidney troubles, but keeps your stomach
in good condition and your liver active.
Ask your druggist for SEVEN
BARkS. If he does not have it he will
get it for yOu.-Adyertisement.

sIrPERFLUoUs BUSINESS MEN.

A typical business man imposition
ably is an asset to society. He has
definite function. He performs neces-
sary and valuable service. 1t is declared,
however. by a New York expert on hOus-
ing. that the United States is suffering
today from an excess of business men,
There are too many of them in all
branches of the housing business, he ex-
plains, and that fact is chiefly respon-
sible for its evils They all have to make
a living, and in the general scramble the
ultimate consumer-who in this case is
the owner on renter for whom a building
is erected-gets the worst of it. The sit
uation is much the same, he suggests,
through almost the whole range of busiz
ness.
There is doubtless a great deal to this
theory. Admittedly it fits New York
better than smaller communities, because
of the multitude Of merchants, statesmen,
brokers and middlemen of various sorts
in the metropolis. But it applies in some
degree to every city. There are usually
more business institutions of all kinds
than are necessary. Particularly there
are too many stores: and the smaller
stores. contrary to common view, act
as drag on business and an unnecessary
expense to the community, because so
many people have to get a living out of
so little trade
There is too much craftsmanship and
too little service in New York city says
New York paper. SO is there every
where. 1t would be a blessing if fewer
people were engaged in business, as small
merchants. manufacturers or statesmen,
and more were engaged in actually pro-
ducing things instead of merely exchang-
ing things produced by other people.
