A rough village Of huts clamped

and finer, the narrow footways broad

turns and abrupt ups and downs with

Flower Worth Small Fortune.

Ten thousand dollars is an eXtraer'
binary price for a single plant; yet II
was paid by English hortfculturists
for an orchid raised in America, the
Catteleya gigas alba.
This Catteleya was lowered in 1910,
ard exhibited at an orchid show in the
United States, where it was awarded
gold medal. The plant was found i'll
1909 in lot of other specimens Of
Catteleya gigas 1t was only by chance
that the plant was not sold for dol
lar or two. The only reason was that
after most Of its companions had been
disposed of this one, with some others
that were not in very good condition
was set aside Finally all the spec!-
mems We're potted.
To the great surprise of the horti-
eulturiSts when, next spring, the plant
came up it was with pure white flow
ers. The plant was sold in London
for perhaps the highest figure that an
orchid ever brought.

The use of milk as q food has been
so extensively exploited by the milk
interests that there exists a somewhat
erroneous idea about 1t which a recent
speaker, before the American Pedia
trio society, is endeavoring to correct.
These errors principally concern the
group of children between the ages Of
one and six years. These errors
might be classified under the headings
1. Prolonged use of milk as an ex-
elusive article of diet 2. Increased
quantities Of milk given along with
other foods. Milk might not only be
used too long as an exclusive article
Of diet and in excessive quantities
with other foods, but its nutritional
value might be injured by boiling. The
Iaity were taught, and rightly so, thai
milk was an ideal breeding place for
germs. and that the growth of these
germs might be inhibited by keep
ing the milk on ice or the milk might
he brought to boil. The use Of boiled
milk was becoming more prevalent
and many injuries TO nutrition oc-
cured.

Race Of ToothIee5 Men In India

In the Hindu Anil community of

Had to Be Masters of Craft.

Carved and handmade chests, side
boards, tables chairs and other an
tiques are rightly valued by people OF
discriminating taste. In the Fifteenth
century men were known to have
worked eight years or more carving
single one of these intricate pieces,
citing the drawers perfectly and bal
ancing everything Certainly any
piece Of furniture on which those mas
tiers OF the cabinetmaker's art spent
50 much time and thought are worthy
OF appreciation.
An apprentice to the art of cab
anetmAking commonly worked from
three to eight years making his first
piece Of furniture. This work then
was passed upon by jurors, and II the
verdict was Imperfect" it was burned
before the door Of the maker and he
was forbidden to make furniture for
sale until he had redeemed himself
with an acceptable piece.

Making the Hammer Safer.

The hammer is a useful tool, but It's
use is not quite free from danger to
the user or from injury to materials.
The fiat, highly polished surface is
likely to glance off the nail unless the
blow is squarely delivered; and when
the nail is of cast metal, its head
often flies off and infiicts quite severe
INJURIES
One firm had innumerable accidents
from this cause, and some of the men
were permanently injured. Thereupon
the managers tried hammer heads with
scored faces as an experiment, and
owing to the success Of the expert
ment the polished faced hammer has
been abolished in that firms factory,
except for special classes of work.
When the hammers face is scored
or roughened it is very much less
likely to glance off the nail head. The
fact that this type of hammer has
proved so conspicuously successful and
safe, has encouraged many manufac-
turers to place it on the market.

One Way TO Attract Customers

In small New England town I met
a druggist who makes a speciality of
selling postage stamps. He says that to
retail 2-cent stamps for cents each

These sales would he extremely un-

grouchily or grudgingiy, saying by his
manner: "Whatta you mean by both

But he has signs in his window tell
Ing that he has plenty of stamps, and
makes a special effort to be more
pleasant and accommodating and gra-
c!ous about stamp sale than at any
pIher time. He has attracted thou
sands OF permanent customers In that
way. "A new customer Is worth many
dollars q year" he observes. whether

TO HEAR PLEA FOR

Petition for 80 Percent In
crease in Rates Will be
Opened in City Today.

The hearing before the state Pub

t!tiOn OF the Indiana Bell Telephone
Co. for an increase in rates in South
Bend and Mishawaka will open. to-
day, al the city hall City Atty. L.
W. Hammond will handle the city's

and by Walter Hildebrand chair
an OF the public affairs commit
tee OF the chamber.
In discussing the telephone situa-
ton in St. Joseph county and the

the increase sought. Mr.. Green last
night stated that II was entirely up
to the phone company to prove 10
the city that the increase is justi-

said, Mr.. Hldebrand and himself
had a conference with A. d. Lewis.
engineer of the local branch Of the
phone company ana NJ. r. Smith OF
indianapolis. representing the Indi-
ana Bell Telephone Co. and the
telephone officials submitted figures
which they claimed would warrent
& increase. It was claimed at this
conference that the company had
operated during the past year at a
less OF $4,000, and Mr.. Green said
on the strength Of those figures, II
true, increased rates were apparent
ly justified
IL is a possibility that a continu-
ance of the hearing may be sought
SO that the city may have TO prepare
a case to oppose the telephone COM
pany's petition. The information
received by City Atty Hammond
from the Public Service Commission
in regard to the hearing has been
valueless as far as throwing any
light on the need OF justice of an
Increase in rates. Atty. Hammond
had written for more detailed infor-
nation, and an audit and detailed
valuation of the company's proper
