employees. As the banker and his
clerk sat munching their simple RI.

at his watch.

the banker.

watch. Funny thing about that, too

he was short Of money at roadhouse
one night and was obliged to cash a
check for $40, though he CHANGED at
that moment to have no funds to his
credit. The next morning he tried to
borrow money to deposit before the
check should come in, but was unable
to raise more than IS. While wonder
ing what to do, he happened to see
the sign of an installment jewelry
place. There he bought S75 watch on
down payment Of $5-after proving
that he had a good business connec-
tion-and q few minutes later he
pawned the watch for $40, which he

known time. 1t was a branch Of the
early picture writing practiced by saw
ages In Tahiti, for Instance, the ma.
tives we're able to make fairly good
maps for the guidance of explorers.
Maps with raised lines were in use in
Peru before the Conquest.
The Oldest known map is that Of the

SAVING WHAT YOU GROW

rub the surface of the meat with
fine salt and allow it to drain,
flesh side down, from 6 to u
hours.
Dry cured method. For each
100 pounds Of meat use eight
pounds salt; 212 pounds molasscs
or sirup made from sugar and APP
piled hot; two ounces saltpeter
three ounces black pepper and
two ounces red pepper.
Mix ingredients well. Rub ov-
er meat thoroughly and pack it
away in a barrel or box or on Il
table. About the third day breal,
the bulk and repack to insure
thorough contact with the cure
mixture, then allow the meat to
remain until the cure is com
pleted. This will take two days
in cure for each pound that the
individual pieces Of meat weigh
for example, ten pound ham
will take 20 days. When the
meat is packed in tight barrels
the liquid will aid in curing the
heavier pieces of meat, which
should be at the bottom. After
the meat has cured hang it in the
smokehouse without washing.

u. S. Cigarettes Are
Sold in China at Three
Gents Per ackage
In a Few Days Ships Docking at
Shanghai Unload 100000 900 of the
Little Coffin Tacks."

Practically every American concern
doing business in China is looking for
men of the same stamp and ability as
those who taught the Chinese how to
smoke u. S. cigarettes.
After that the firms want produc-
ton experts who can equal the sue
cess of the men who produced Amer
lean cigarettes cheap enough for the
Chinese to smoke. These men are
considered as having done the best
commercial job ever put over in Chi
ma.
In nine days the ships docking at
Shanghai unloaded 189, 1000 900 Ameri-
can cigarettes. This is just fair
average. All OF these cigarettes are
consumed as part OF a daily diet, just
as rice and sweet potatoes.
The American cigarettes are made
of American tobacco, by American
labor, wrapped in American tinfoil,
sealed in American packages contain
ing a colored picture card, shipped
across the American continent then
across the Pacific. They were distrib-
uted throughout the Chinese republic.
And the price of these cigarettes,
except in the most remote places, is
ten coppers a package, or a little less
than 3 cents L. S. currency at present
rates of exchange. The cigarettes are
we'll made, are clean and the sales
manager in China smokes them him
self. They are not, however, sold in
America, at least in the same pack
ages or at the same price.

FASHIONS OF 1865
RETURN THIS SPRING
PARIS FAVORS TAILORE D
SKIRTS AND TIGHT BLOUS-
ES WORN AFTER WAR.

PARIS.-Tailored skirts and tight
b1ouses of the 1865 epoch will return
to fashion this spring, according to a
symposium of opinion of the great
dressmakers, obtained by Universal
Service. Here are some indications of
the future mode:
The waist will continue to mount,
but will not reach the height of the
Directoire period Blouses will be
supplied with large still collars of or

will replace the slim silhouette"
After last years mode of sleeve
less afternoon gowns those of this
year will go to the other extreme and
some of the advance models are firing
ed with old lace, allowing to be seen
only the tips of the fingers.
For the evening, gowns will be
more luxurious than ever. Rare laces,
Jewels and embroideries will be en-
ployed profusely. Old-rose and saxon
blue taffetas are indicated for gowns
for young girls and debutantes.
The Merry Widow.
The attempt to bring back the
merry Widow" hat has failed, and
the small toque and narrow-brimmed
hat dominates the summer collections
of the foremost milliners. But at the
same time wells are coming back into
style-not the heavy, knotted veil of
our grandmothers, but featherweight
wells which protect from dust, but do
not hide, and which will be almost to
the waist. 1t will not be fashionable,
as of old, to draw them in tightly I'M
derneath the chin.
Milliners will make much use of
artificial flowers, and even real ones
will be called into requistion for ex-
ceptional occasions, such as marriages.
This mode, which was introduced by
the present Duchess of Marlborough
at the time of her marriage in Paris
two years ago, did not succeed them,
but is coming into favor now.
Wavy Silk Wigs.
The bell shape for hats will come
back and ornamentation by multi-col-
ored ribbons will be general. For din
ner inrestaurants and for soirees "halo
hats" of silvered tissue, ornamented
at times by precious stones-particu-
1arly sapphires-will be worn. The
use of these silvered headdresses is
said to soften the traits of the visage.
