BOYS WHO GO "FROGGING" HAVE SPORT AND ALSO MAKE MONEY Legs Are in Heavy Demand on Market and the Task of Gathering Them Brings Liberal Compensation. Webster tells us the frog is an amphibious animal of the genus Rana and related genera of many species. Frogs swim rapidly and take long leaps on land. Many of the species utter loud notes in the springtime. No disrespect or criticism is intended the vengeable Noah, but it is apparent that a considerable and more explicit account of the value and merits of the humble frog is long over-due. A study of the business of marketing frogs for food is interesting. Since the beginning of time the pathfinders of new industries have been subjected to the scathing criticisms and deterring influences of their less enterprising brothers. So we find that Frenchman first discovered the rare and delicous qualities of properly served frogs log to the whole nation was applied the approbriable appellation of "frog-aters." Thus, too, were those first engaged in the commercial handling of frogs the victims of rude jests and ridicule. An excellent example of the former conditions and those prevailing to-day is the frog status in the thriving city of Wasaeca, Minn. Nature was invlv in her distribution in that vicinity of those conditions which go towards the happiness and consequent propagation their numerous progeny, to the deep waters of the lakes. A peculiar fact in connection with these trips is that frogs are great nocturnal traveler hence the greater number are caught at night. closely observed their habits, can be accurately when the real winter freezes up is about to occur. As long as an considerable number of frogs remain in the sloughs and marshes he is confident of fair weather. The frogger's outfit is simple—a old suit of clothes, a pair of rubber boots, a lantern, and a catching-basket, usually made of a flour sack, with the bottomless pail sewed in the top hold it open. A recent innovation is a pair of overalls with the legs tied at the bottom and the suspenders over the shoulder of the frogger. Carrying this bag, with the lantern swung from the front of his coat, the frog catcher walks up and down the bed, through the weeds and brush on the shore, or wades through the slime and slush of the marshes, always cage watchful—picking, picking always threading his way cautiously; her throwing aside a small one, then stalking an unusually large specimen forever alert. The same fever burns in his veins, the same spirit animates his eye as does that of the gold hunts CAUGHT ON THE JUMP. An ideal spot for frogs. of frogs—so free in this respect that the newspapers and other intelligencers of rival and less frog-favored towns refer to Waseca as "Frog Town." Not, however, until recent years has the commercial value of these apparently worthless creatures been discovered. In small numbers, boys have caught them for home consumption for many years, but suddenly a few youths, who may properly be termed the pioneers of the industry, conceived the idea of expressing the dressed froglings to hotels in the large cities. The business has developed rapidly in spite of the fact that not 50 per cent of those who tackle the job ever make a second trip in pursuit of the game. These first youths, who received big pay for their labor, gave out reports which sounded like accounts of bonanza strikes, and any number of boys took up the business with the result that their inferior frogs, improperly packed and injudiciously marketed, thoroughly demoralized the prospects of the first few years. Then, when the commission men handling country produce in the large cities took up the business, prices again were suddenly boosted and the business on a business basis was begun. There are two open seasons for frog catching—the spring and the fall months. As soon as the ice breaks up and the lakes open in the spring, the frogs rouse from their long winter sleep and begin their annual migration to the sloughs. Again in the fall, after the first hard frosts, they return, with JUST FR 200 dozen I A. Modern Cornellia JUST FROG LEGS. 200 dozen in this pile. A Modern Cornella.

A recent innovation is a pair of overalls with the legs tied at the bottom and the suspenders over the shoulders of the frogger. Carrying this bag, with a lantern swung from the front of his coat, the frogcatcher walks up and down the beach, crawls through the weeds and brush on the shore, or wades through the slime and slush of the marshes, always eager, watchful—picking, picking always; his way cautiously; here throwing an unmanned small one, there stalking an unmanned large specimen; forever alert. The same spikes burn in his veins, the same spirit animates his eye as does that of the gold ants searching in the sands of the frozen North. For, is he not picking up money?—pennies, to be sure, but the less money. Why, then, should he not be enthused by his work, forgetful of the ice water and the stinging wind? The experienced men stick to one locality; learn the ground thoroughly, and after each trip up and down their beat they have a few dozen to deposit in one of the large gunny sacks which they have located in some safe and convenient place. One remarkable point here is that there are no reports of the thievery. Often at quitting time one man's catch of some 200 dozen or more will be worth $20, and still it is not unusual that someone seems to be universal agreement that the trouble of keeping a continual watch there will be no stealing. It is a valuable lesson and well taught. An average dozen of live frogs weighs almost exactly one and one-half pounds, and to take home their catch the hunters have impressed in to service wheelbarrows, carts, wagons, saddle horses or any conveyance they may be able to secure. The "regulars" have spring wagons, which they draw home themselves, preferring this method to the hurry of horses home bound at midnight; they claim that they are careless in such which others lose through rushing home. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` If on the next day the frogs are to be shipped alive, as is now almost the rule, they are counted into boxes of several decks, about four inches apart, and screened in. There is now no more to be done by the frogger except to prepay the express and cash his check, which arrives within a week and amounts to about 10 cents per dozen on all that reached the commission man in good condition, usually about 90 per cent of the shipment.

One blow on the head of a grip kills it—at least officers of the S. P. C. A. who are watching the business pretty closely have not demanded any other method—and a pair of heavy shears are used to clip the hind legs from the body; the froggier drops the shears and with a single dexterous movement of his right hand draws the skin from both legs at once.

Then, in frog lace the ship it "dumped," he gets no check. Ordinarily, he receives for good stock from 12 to 18 cents per dozen, and for extra fine shipments sometimes as high as 25 cents per dozen, in this season. During the holidays any that he may have kept alive and dressed then, will fetch him 30 or 35 cents per dozen without much chance of loss in shipment. The knowledge of this latter fact has led two young men in partnership here to construct what they call "frog storage pits." These pits are long trenchles to a depth of about five feet and partially filled with rough lumber and rubbish, this arrangement giving a great number of small open spaces under ground. Straw is tightly packed over this and the frogs, have been stored in the ship and the stock until wanted for shipment. Two of these, each twenty feet long, already are filled and closed and another is being made. If possible, more will be constructed and stocked. ```markdown ``` An idea of the possibilities that lie in this business may be gathered from the case of one young man who is employed in a store here. In one week he found time to take and ship 550 dozen, netting him on an average 10 cents per dozen. The express business on frogs from the station of Waseca alone averages during the season about 1,250 pounds daily. While the frogging industry has become an important industrial factor in this section during the last decade, the business of the british producer ahead. The vast numbers killed each year produce no appreciable decrease in the supply, and under proper business management the price could be so regulated as to bring much better average returns. In conclusion, it may not be out of place to mention a peculiar mental disease that occasionally develops in veteran froggers. When afflicted with this terrible malady the victim is unable to close his eyes in sleep without seeing thousands of frogs hopping about him; narcotics are of no avail, and the sufferer is relieved only by taking his froc-catching out to bed with him.

Defective Page GERMAN STARS AROUSED BY AMERICAN INVASION Germany and America are good friends in the diplomatic sense. But from the operatic standpoint Uncle Sam and the Fatsheland are a trifle out of harmony. In fact, there is a storm raging in Berlin to-day which may develop into a real musical way and a battle royal of songbirds. And it is all because a brave little army of American singers stormed the barred on which was written, "No Americans Need Apply," broke it down, won the music-loving and appalled audience, but at the same time kindled by their success fires of artistic jealousy. The storm rages fiercest in the Royal opera, the official company of singers whose work the kaiser watches and fosters, and around the heads of beautiful Geraldine Farrar, edna Darch and a few other successful American invaders the tempest howls the loudest. Apparently it is a sad story of the jealousies which are said to dwell near the heart of every artist. The American invasion which overturned the discouraging barrier referred to before began half a dozen years ago, and ere long the doors of German theaters opened to Uncle Sam's songbirds. They were successful almost from the first, and present the Berlin Royal opera some of its stars from the American. There were Miss Farrar and Miss Darch with their wonderful voices and pretty faces, Harriss Rose, Putnam Griswold and Francis MacLeann. Each won gradual but sure recognition, and finally a 'Wound stellar places on the kaiser's stage. This was not accomplished without mutterlings of disapproval from the German artists, although the German public gave little sign of displeasure at the American conquest.

But the crisis has been precipitated by the presentation of Puccini's "Madame Butterfly," with virtually an American cast and with Geraldine Farrar singing the title role. that her remarkable voice discovered by members cult, who held their school each year at Great Piscataqua in Maine. L rar went among this mp she wore short dresses hair hanging down her fashion. Those who h Madame Destinn, the German prima donna of the opera, has headed a movement of protest. She declares that she should have had the part given to Miss Farrar, and that, in a broader sense, the incident shows plainly how the foreign favorites are displacing the native stars. And so the storm broke and so it rained five American singers named above have been engaged on contracts for the Royal opera the shortest of which is Miss Darch's two-year agreement. Francis MacLennan is making a bit as "Lieut. Pinkerton" in "Madame Butterfly," and he has been engaged for five years. There are fully two score of American singers on the German grand operatic stage, and all have become popular with their various audiences. The German stars threaten all sorts of drastic measures unless the American invasion is checked. It is more than likely that they will make capital of the "Parsifal" incident to enlist popular sympathy in their battle. Herr New York describe the protests of Fran Warner, widow of the great composer, has not been forgotten, and will never be forgiven in some quarters. Of the five American stars of the Royal opera, by far the most interesting figures are Geraldine Farrar and Edna Darch. Though mere girls, so far as the years go, both have had the most romantic experiences interwoven Naturally, "I dropped a wad at the track today." "Well, you helped improve the breed of horses."

Endowed with a natural charm and striking personality, it it declared that she gradually became, under the Babist teaching, a girl of remarkable poise and self-passion, and she radiated a charm peculiarly her own which brought all she met under the spell of her presence. Be this as it may, the fact remains that Miss Farrar was beautiful and magnetic beyond description, as subsequent developments proved. She went to Paris with her parents, and thence to Berlin, studied languages and music, and in 1902 she made her debut, at the Royal opera. She was the sensa- 1 tion of the season, and all the German capital hailed her as a rare type of genius who combined art, youth and beauty. The kaiser was one of her most ardent admirers, and the crown prince, too, showed her especial attention. She was "invited" to sing for royalty, instead of being "commanded" according to the usual custom. In a word, she became the rage, and she has been "mounted up from high to higher" ever since. It is scarcely to be wondered at, therefore, that the lovely American girl's success could not be attained without some shafts of jealousy being aimed her way. Little Edna Darch is the great Calve's protege. The famous French diva heard the girl sing several years ago while on an American tour, and she fell in love with the child and she rich mezo-soprano voice. With charm offered to her to impulsiiveness, she quickly offered to her to the girl's expenses while she studied French, German and Italian, and later on she took Edna to live with her for several months to teach her something of her own singing methods and to perfect her French accent. Then she took her abroad and let her study there before she made her debut in Berlin. Miss Darch's voice charmed the director of the Royal opera and she obtained a two years' contract there. Edna Darch was born in argo, N. D., just nineteen years ago. Her family went to California when she was a baby and she was brought up on the Pacific coast. Her father worked in a lumber yard, and his whole ambition in life was to save enough money to give Edna a good musical education. He toiled on uncomplainingly for his daughter until Calve came along as a good angel and helped the child realize her ambition. ONIONOLD A Notable Precedent. "Pa," need some new willow plumes.

HAS SEVERE TEST HOW RAILROAD LOCOMOTIVE IS "TRIED OUT" Actual Work on the Road Is Supervised by Observations Mechanically Made by Engineer in Ordinary Roundhouse. Engine No. 0000 of the Pennsylvania, the last work of the locomotive builder, rolled out of the construction shops, possessed of the idea that somewhere near by awaited a "Congressional Limited" or a "Pennsylvania Flyer" or a "Pennsylvania Limited" train ready for her. Instead, No. 0000 went on a treadmill to test her power, says an Altoona (Pa.) dispatch to the New York Herald. Because with which she was built, engine No. 0000 thought that she was about the best thing that ever had been turned out in the locomotive line. Naturally she thumped and snorted when she slid into the big roundhouse in Altoona, with dead engines lying all about her, and climbed up on a peculiar contrivance which seemed to be just so many huge wheels revolving on axles so arranged that a wheel met each of hers. To her wonder an engineer climbed into the cab, two firemen took their position, and soon she found herself with all the power of which she was capable. The steam shot into her tubes and chests, her great wheels began to revolve and she found herself running away. "Oh, dear!" she said, tearfully, "Til smash something, I'm sure—I'll go through the side of the shop. Til hurt somebody or I'll hurt myself, I'll—" She stopped. To her surprise she was doing nothing of the kind. As fast as her wheels revolved so did the wheels upon which she rested. She wasn't going anywhere, and although her driving rod became simply a sheen of steel she remained stationary. She was on the treadmill, as if a kitten and what more, she was at the mercy of one man in greasy overalls, who was making her perform as easily as a trainer manages a puppy in vadeville. In the old days when an engine was built it was the custom to test her by sending her out on the road. Kipling once wrote a story describing how one of the Pennsylvania's aristocrats was tried out. It was usual then to take the engine, hitch on heavy freight cars, send her out over the line, on levels and dragcats, on curves and grades, until she showed them how to drive the railroad men want to know more, and they want to know it before they intrust a passenger or freight train to her mercies. The man in the overalls got as much out of No. 0000 before he was through with her as a small boy gets out of an orange. When he left her on the tread the first thing he did was to let her wheels revolve to capacity, for in that way he figured the maximum speed. Then he coupled to her an arrangement with a dial attachment and began to test for her pulling power. By a backward pull he made her draw the equivalent of a baggage car to a milion freight train. Now she was to all intents and purposes racing over the Jersey meadows, the track clear and the way straight, now she was striking the grade on the other side of Johnstown and pacing like a human being in distress. Stronger and stronger grew that backward pull, until No. 0000 found herself slowing up. She begged and squealed and groaned, but the pull was merciless. Slower the wheels revolved and then she stopped—the had reached her limit. She darted forth again; only to be checked, and after a time she was required to start, or try to start, and with every brake, bar, lock and lever set wrong. She was able to squeeze—a most important thing in airlording. She got away again and then came down to the fine points of the test. All the time the engine was pulling and hauling, racing and checking, her steam gauges and water gauges had been telling little stories of their own, and their stories were listened to with interest. They were telling about the pressure of the steam in the boiler, with the amount of water and coal used. They were saying whether the amount of fuel was producing the maximum of steam or whether there was a mistake somewhere. They were telling as plainly as words will whether the boiler was large enough for the grate or the grate too large for the boiler. Speed and pull and pressure and effectiveness of parts do not end the tests of No. 0000. Another important thing is determined while she is on the treadmill, and that is her best load. It is strange, but true, that engines for some reason never are exertially all the time. Once the test was to hit cars to an engine sound, she lay down and cried," as they said that, is till she could not pull another car over the line marked out. Nowadays they never do that, but by a scientific arrangement of pulleys, levers and wheels strike the mean between too much weight and too little—the exact point where the machine can do its best work, in the shortest time, under the most adverse conditions.

ANOTHER SOLUTION. Ex-Governor Northen conveys that he has discovered a satisfactory solution of the race problem, and like many other great discoverers, he has contributed to one of the magazines, an account of his great discovery. It occurs to THE APPEAL that the crudite governor is very much like many crudite mathematicians who have discovered and cackled over the solution of the "squaring of the circle." The Minneapolis Tribune, in commenting upon the production, remarks that the crux of the solution is that the Afro-American must crush out his social and political aspirations and cheerfully submit to the white man's dictation on account of the white man's superiority. It adds to clinch the argument that the white man acquired his "superiority" by long years of strenuous effort, while the black man was fooling around among the jungles of Africa So far as the Afro-American of the South is concerned, he is not disposed to hold himself responsible for what the uncivilized African was doing years ago, no more than Gov. Northen is responsible for what his ancestors were doing at about the same time. He may concede the "superiority" in some respects, of the white race as a whole, and, at the same time be perfectly aware of the fact that when it comes to comparing individuals, the Afro-American is, in thousands of instances vastly superior to the white man with whom he comes in contact. Bishop Turner, and Professor Dubois of Georgia are not ignorant of the fact that they are vastly the superiors, morally, intellectually and even physically of the Atlanta murderers who were whooped up by Hoax Smith & Co. to their deeds of dishonesty and violence. They know just what the Georgia "grand father clause" proves as to the superior intelligence of the white citizens of Georgia. They know that the white race has by long effort, produced a superior class, but also, has a vastly larger inferior mass of hill-billies, red-necks and clay-caters, and that the Afro-American also has his superior class and his inferior mass. And further, they know that Gov. Northen is accusing them of what they know they are not guilty, that is a desire for inter-marriage with the whites. They know that the real object of the howl, is to justify the jimcrow car and the grand father clause and the lynchings, and the suppression and grading down of the schools for Afro-Americans. They know that the howl has "rattled" the white man's church until Satan would not admit it as one of his synagogues. It will not do for Gov. Northen to argue that the Afro-American must crush out his social and political aspirations on account of his assumption that the white race is superior, as a whole, to the Afro-American—the two races as such, have never come into collision—all troubles that have existed have been between individuals. If the superior white race should rule over the inferior Afro-American, why should not the superior Afro-American regulate the inferior white man? TIRED OF TILLMAN'S TIRADES It is encouraging to notice this fact that while the North which has merely academic interest in the race problem can afford to pay Senator Tillman $200.00 per lecture for his opera bouffe performances, the sane men of the South are growing very tired of the whole ridiculous program. For instance, the Dallas, Tex., News says: "We suspect that the race problem, whatever it is, is due in considerable degree to the fetid vaporations of demagogic politicians. In Texas we have no "race problem"; our politicians have found abundance of occupation in other misfails, and while, of course, the conditions in Mississippi, Alabama and other States of that section are somewhat different from those of Texas, we believe their "race problem" would be much mitigated, if indeed it did not disappear, if the politicians could be induced to let it alone for a year."18 Any one can easily see this: The results of the hullaballoo have been. 1. To throw such men as Berry, Hampton and Carmack out of office and thereby to influence the South upon national legislation. 2. To put such men as Jeff. Davis and Vardaman in positions in which they can do great harm to the South. 3. To send men to the southern legislatures whose proper place would be in the asylums for the feeble-minded, and whose legislation is a serious and constant menace to the business interests of the whole country. 4. To interfere to such an extent with labor conditions as to seriously imperil the prosperity of the South. 5. To promote the crime-wave in the South by its endorsement of lynching and the unwritten law. 6. To stir up an actual condition of rebellion against the authority of the United States. We clip the following interesting effusion from a so-called newspaper published in that part of heathen-dom known as "the South". "A negro bishop of the A. M. E. church has on "rared" back on his "haunches" and said Christ was a Nigro. Of course he doesn't undertake to prove such a silly statement, but he said it just the same. This is harder on the Jews than on any other people, as Christ was a Jew of the seed of Abraham and Daniel. Negroes are getting to be entirely too spry, and if they are not a little more careful somebody will take them down a button-hole or two. White people will take considerable, but there are some things they just will not submit to, and such silly, ignorant and insulting talk as the above is one of the things. The A. M. E. church will have to elect her another bishop if she doesn't prevail on her present boss to keep his mouth shut." The tone of the article makes it almost unnecessary to state that it appeared in a strictly religious journal. Now THE APPEAL is somewhat acquainted with the bishop in question and ventures to assert that he doesn't scare worth a continental. Young Old Maids in Jerusalem.

Reaction to Simplicity Has Followed Extremes in Size and Decoration—Design Easily Fashioned by Home Milliner. • Women of every generation since Eve's time have taken to many peculiar notions in the matter of personal adornment, and as one looks at the fashion of times gone by, as reflected in the writings and prints of 1001 the period, the thought always is uppermost that there is no accounting for tastes. This thought may apply to our own day in the matter of hats, if for there ever has been anything more absurd than are the present fashion. POINTS FOR NEEDLE WORKERS. Little Hints That Will Save Much Time and Labor. In knitting it will be found much easier when casting on stitches, if using very large needles, to introduce an ordinary steel needle in place of the large one held in the right hand. Use the steel needle for knitting the stitch and pass it over the large needle. This is to be done only when casting on stitches. Handkerchiefs are marked in old English letters of a very small size. These tiny letters are often placed in the center of a circle done in the finest of over-and-over embroidery. For sheer handkerchiefs use a very fine mercerized cotton. By reversing a shirtwalt pattern and lengthening it at the narrow part it may easily serve as a pattern for a skirt panel. Feather stitching is always a dainty finish for a child's dress, but it should be very evenly done and as small as possible. No. 3 mercerized cotton is best for the work. Marking cotton in that soft, cool shade known as china is used a great deal in buttonholing and scalloping the edges of turnover collars. HOW VEIL SHOULD BE WORN. Some Things to Consider with This Indispensable Article. In invariably the veil should harmonize with the color of the hat, though dark gray and golden brown are fashionable shades that may be worn with almost any colored hat. The smartest driving veil is of ivy green chiffon, with tucked or hem-stitched border, and is worn plinned closely over the hat and face with fiving ends. While this shade is best suited for the eyes, it also has the advantage over other shades that it harmonizes with almost any color. Complexion veils are clamoring for IN VOGUE Nearly all dressy gowns have low, sweeping guipure effects. The mushroom or butter bowl hat is giving way to flatter shapes. The latest purse is an alligator claw, worn swinging from the belt. Upon elaborate lace hats are used entire fur skins—head, tail, claws and all. Nothing is smarter among the walking tailor makes than the elaborate Parisian Dressmakers Said to Favor Pronounced Style. Some of the new skirts for dressy gowns have tunic effects, but rather carried out by an upper skirt of trimming than by an upper skirt of the material. It is more than probable that what will succeed the present type of toilette will in some form or other be the tunic. Such, at any rate, is the opinion of many dressmakers, and were the tunic boldly launched for a dreasy sort of a winter toilette, nobody in Paris would be taken much by surprise, so it is said. Still this is more likely to be brought out for very late rather than the early winter, and for evening rather than street wear. Sweet Scents. A formula for a scent to place among her bed linen is usually liked by the dainty woman, and here is a lons it is not recorded. While the summer lasted there was little prospect of a diminution in extravagance, alike in size, color and decoration, and, while many of the greatest extremes are shown at present, both in size and manner of trimming, there is a reaction to styles of a studied medium, a studied mediumly good taste. In color there is a decided tendency towards green of various shades. The flect of many hats is spolled by the dressing of the hair, which frequently has an inclination to allow the deep brim at the back to drop too low down over the shoulders. An appearance it would be impossible to make more unbecoming is the back view of a hatmed hat flattened against the head, and the edge meeting a feather hat. Just at present it is fortunate that there is such an admirable array of untrimmed shapes. This should be an encouragement to the home milliner. A great many women who cannot design hats or methods of applying trimming are quick to tell at a glance when they see a hat whether or not it would be becoming, and if they are good at copying can turn out a most beautiful looking hat for a comparatively small price. A jaunty, smart little hat is shown in black velvet. It is a shape that, titling way up as it does on the left side, would not be becoming to every face, but if it did suit would be bewitching. The crown is covered perfectly plain, then there is a narrow bow of velvet ribbon, which lies flat against the side of the crown on the front, and a beautiful black plume comes from under this and falls gracefully over the top of the brim on the left side. Bow and plume are held in place by a handsome rhinestone buckle. If one had a plume and could cover and make the hat it would not cost much and would really be handsome. recognition again, but it is doubtful if they will be accepted by the multitude. Those who have adopted them are wearing coarse black meshes with white threads running in the opposite direction from the heavy threads. Instead of barely covering the nose, as formerly, the complexion vell now reaches to the chin, where it is retained by a group of fine gathers. NEW IDEA IN DECORATION. Live Flowers to Brighten the Photograph Frame. A novel and pretty way of decorating a leather photograph frame that has become, perhaps, a little shabby and worn, is shown in the accompanying sketch. Two small glass tubes may be procured (tubes suitable for the purpose may be obtained from almost any druggist), and these should be fastened on either side of the frame. This can be done by boring two small holes in the frame, through which can be pushed, with the aid of a pen-knife, little pieces of narrow ribbon, the tube can then be placed in position, and tied in its place as shown. The tubes are, of course, for holding water, and flowers can be arranged in them in any way we fancy. braided coats worn with absolutely straight hanging skirts. That charming feminine accessory, the jabot of lawn and lace, becomes larger and friller each day. Extremely high ruches of tulle or sheer balistie, reaching almost to the ears, are appearing on French frocks. Smart and exclusive are the linen collars striped in colors, and also those of soft gray linen for mourning effect. For tiny children the white feather bonnets, with an inside ruche of liberty satin and pink June roses, are pretty. The new balloon handbags, opening out wide on a curved frame to expose all their contents, are an admirable innovation. most excellent one: One ounce of powdered gum benzoin, one of powdered cloves and two of powdered cinnamon; add to these seven ounces powdered cedar wood and the same of dried lavender flowers; mix, sift and put into flat bags to lay between sheets and smaller ones for the slips; or, if pads are made to fit the shelves it will answer as well. Balsam, the fir tree balsam, gives of its own fruit fragrance from pads made and filled with it, with the old-fashioned levender, can never be improved upon for perfuming bed linen. Sensible Underekirts. Sik and wool in a mixture of colors is the formation of a yarn used in making the most comfortable winter petticoat a woman can wear. A word of warning to women making a purchase in knitted petticoats: Get something which looks twice too large, or material will shrink to a great extent. Woolen petticoats too short is merely a nuisance. Wool silk is in the weave this is less liable to occur. A skirt of this kind is expensive, but it will last for years. MAN JUDGED BY HIS SMOKE Considering the great and increasing population of the United States and taking into consideration the prevalent cheapness of really good qualities of smoking tobacco, cigars and cigarettes, it is not to be wondered at that men should reveal in the habits of smoking their individual virtues or frailties. To the observer who watches a person simply smoking cigarette, cigar or pipe there are revealed nerves, exhaustion, extravagance, laziness, fragrance, and other attributes. People's choice of their tobacco, pipe cleaning, lighting, methods of smoking, treatment of cigar ash, use of cigarette ends, invariably points the way in which the man may be safely said that there is a wide difference, as a rule, between pipe smokers and cigarette smokers in persistence and methods. There are, of course, exceptions, and it is noteworthy in judging character by smoke to admit that many men may employ a common method. Take, for instance, two brilliant men who are known to indulge in the invertebrate habit of pipe smoking. They their pipes every other minute. They their pipes every other minute. They their pipes every other minute. They smoke one full pipe of tobacco, and the floors of their rooms are strewn from end to end with wasted matches. With these men smoking is simply a in the habit. Whenever they pause match—when they pause match—two puffs at the pipe, then the tobacco is out again. These two men would experience the utmost mental discomfiture should there be no occasion to strike a match when the next match—when the next match—two puffs at the pipe, then the tobacco remained burning. A great number of cigarette smokers are of an extravagant nature, and throw their cigarettes away when they are late, consumed or generally excitable, and to allay their excitement must be constantly doing something—searching for matches, rolling cigarettes, lighting one, or admiring the red glow at the end of one in their mouths. They themselves to be men of taste and discrimination. Their facial expressions tells it. It is asserted that those who smoke cigars with labels on are vulgar; that men who smoke cigars with labels on tab a cigar is opententious; that one who chooses a cigar sprinkled with light spots will credit any idle report; and one who chews the end of a cigar is often of an irritable nature. It is also said that selfishness, courage, boorishness, timidity and good temper are markers of the smoker's demeanor.—New York Tribune. Her Husband; His Wife Mrs. Root, the wife of the secretary of state, makes no effort to conceal her dislike for officialdom, with all that it entails in the matter of publicity and promotions entertaining.

Having gladiated withdrawn from the chivalry the secretary laid down the war portfolios and spent periodically chagrined when he reentered the cabinet, remarking to an intimate who was commenting upon the secretary's enthusiastic resumption of his public labors: "I am the secretary, and if he couldn't return any other way he'd be content to go as a policeman." +++ Justice White, the supreme court arrived late at a concert the other night, preceded *b* his wife and a friend.

"Fallen by the Wayside," a brand new and successful play. A. H. Woods' production, in four acts and fourteen scenic settings, will be the attraction at the Grand for the week commencing Sunday matinee, Jan. 5th. The play is one which is said to appeal to all classes of people. It will interest the thinker who reads and understands; and it will also impress the "fathhead" who only sees and hears. Its story is full of hulm an intensely human little beast of clever stage craft. Its heroine is an intensely human little beast of clever stage craft of a big musical comedy is so sincere, the work being hard and the reality, while the snakes and pitfalls which await the reckless are plentiful indeed. "Fallen By the Wayside" contains a grand moral lesson which should light the way to goodness to many a weak and wavering mortal who stands on the brink. The play will be enacted by a finely balanced, charming chorus that has been carefully selected by the management with regard to his peculiar fitness for the part assigned.

HELP THE BOYS Contribute to the Gymnasium Fund of the Boys' Culture Club. The Boys' Culture Club takes this opportunity to thank the twenty-seven (27) good citizens of St. Paul for contributing $26 of the $50 asked to pay for the gymnasium outfit which we have contracted for. This $50 was to have been paid on or be paid for by the gymnasium, the fact that we failed to raise the stated amount on that date, we have asked for the time to be extended, and the time was extended 30 days. We help us to raise the remaining $26 by trusting that we have 24 more good friends that will give us $1 each, for which we would be very thankful.

Charlie Rice, candidate for re-election to the council from the Fourth ward, was defeated yesterday by James Bunton, Democrat. Bunton's victory was largely due to the efforts of Mrs. Richard Spiker, who rallied her friends and worked all day for the Democratic candidate. About a year ago Rice and killed Mrs. Spiker's dog, and she remembered. The ward is normally about seventy Republican. Value of Cellulose From the standpoint of industrial utility, says Prof. Ducan in Harper's Magazine that subject of cellulose can be characterized as a chain structure. Like a nylon tree for instance, Stratigraphy ing, it is worth $10 a ton; cut and stripped it is worth $15; bled into pulp it is worth $40; bleached it is worth $55; turned into viseo and spun into silk it is worth $5.500. Scientists' Explanation of the Visions of Sleep. A scientist explains some of the strange phenomena of dreams by saying that they are due to what he calls "hereditary memory." He takes the "falling through space" claim and points out that after suffering the mental agony of falling the sleep escapes the shock of the acclical stopping. The explanation is that the falling sensations have been transmitted from remote ancestors who were fortunate enough to save themselves, after falling from great heights in tree tops, by clutching the branches. The molecular changes in the cerebral cells due to the shock of stopping could not be transmitted, because victims falling to the bottom would be killed. In a similar manner, by reverting to the habits of animals which existed centuries ago, the same investigator finds an explanation for the mental state experienced by individuals in various dreams—the "pursuing monster" dream, the "reptile and vermin" dream, color dreams, suffocation dreams, flying dreams and the like. OLD PLACE WAS GOOD ENOUGH, Comprehensive Reason Why Citizen Came Home. "Squire" Lord, of local fame in Eftingham, N. H., fifty years ago, had accumulated, by all sorts of methods, a fortune for the times and place. Keeping the country store, being practically the "bank" of those parts and increasing wealth beyond expenditures had nourished an ambition to live in a place larger and with more social affluence than the little village afforded. So he packed up one autumn, took a house in Portland, which was the town o' the world to country people then, and with his family started in to cut a dash. To his chagrin, he found he was one of many in that place, and not a scrape or how was coming his way, Christmas saw him back, bag and baggage, in Eftingham, and that evening in his store, to the inquiry of one of the village boafers, "Why'd ye come back, squire, 'fore you'd calculated?" he replied: "I have had enough of that place. Yer see, I'd rattle be a king among hogs than a hog among kings." An Absent-Minded Adventist There are none among the attendants of the Second Advent church in Marblehead who are more steadfast in the faith than Mrs. Nancy Jameson, whose remarks sometimes, however, beile her expectations. One day a friend, who was in the anque furniture business, called on her she thought it a good time to warn him to prepare for the day of judgment. "You ought to be prepared," said she, "for all signs point to next week as the appointed time." "Well, Nancy," said the dealer, "if that's the case, don't you want to sell me your old chairs? "Oh, no," she said; "John's going to &k them next week."—Exchange Hard to Sult. "When your mother-in-law fell into the water, why didn't you get to get her out?" "My dear madam, you must know that nothing I've ever done has pleased best!" Fishermen have a more philosophic view of chance and fate than any other brotherhood. "You'll find there are no fish in that pond." "What did you call me for? Now you've spoiled my whole day's fishing."

The onion need have no fears. Its position is secure. Born of the lily family, probably in Asia in the far-off centuries, it grows all over the world. It was well known to the ancient Greeks and Romans. It is mentioned in ancient Egyptian writings and in Pentateuch. When the Israelites in the wilderness grew weary of manna they sighed for the good things they had left behind and they distressed Moses when they lifted their voices in weeping and cried: "We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic, but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all besides this manna before our eyes." It was not so much the fleshpots of Egypt that they signed for as for the succulent leek, the pungent onion, the odorous garlic. The onion is the Welsh national emblem. In Spain and Italy garlic, which is merely a condensed onion, enters into nearly all dishes of both the rich and poor. The onion thrives in Siberia and in Honduras. It flourishes on the Nile and on the Mississippi. It was the favorite with the Ptolemies of ancient Egypt and it finds favor with the highest and the lowest in Macon and Charlotte. The Lady of Shalott died of a broken heart because she ha^a to give up either onions or her lover. Her lover was one of those finnicky fellows who objected to the odor of onions and she would not give up the shalott. The onion is all right. It never seeks to conceal itself. It is about the only thing in hash in which one can have confidence. — Nashville American. NOW ONLY FORTY-DAY TRIP. Jules Verne's Feat of Travel Reduced by One-Half. Many of us marked an epoch for ourselves when Jules Verne wrote "Round the World in Eighty Days," says London Spectator. Perhaps it was not possible then to go round in eighty days; the book would have been less exciting to children if it had been possible. But at all events it was nearly possible and many of us marked down the epoch. How many people could say off-hand to-day, however, to what those eighty days have been reduced? A writer, F. A. McKenzie, tells us that the journey can be done in forty days and that in comfortable trains and ships, not by the desperate expedients of Jules Verne. We are told that the tickets cost only about $225 second-class and $615 first-class. The journey is reckoned in this way: London to Moscow, two and one-half days; Moscow to Vladivostok, thirteen days; Vladivostok to Yokohama, two days; Yokohama to London, via Vancouver, twenty-one and one-half days; connections, one day. The Russians understand the art of comfortable railway traveling; their carriages and buffets are models. Florida Shark Story A tarpour pursued by a shark near Garden Key, in one of its tremendous leaps, fell across a skiff containing two fishermen who were so busily engaged with a net that they did not notice its approach. The skiff broke in two, the fishermen became entangled in the net and the shark took a huge bite out of the side of one of them, Belton Larkin, cutting his body nearly in two. It is thought the shark mistook Larkin's body for the tarp it was in pursuit of, for sharks in those waters have never been known to attack a man. Caribbean Tortoise Shell. Most of the tortoise shell of commerce is obtained froh the hawksbill turtle, which is taken chiefly in the Caribbean sea. Turtles caught in these waters vary in size from one to four and one-half feet long, with a maximum weight of 150 pounds, and the average weight of shell obtained from each is from six to seven pounds. The commercial value of tortoise shell depends upon the thickness and size of the plates, rather than upon the brilliancy of the colors. The price of shell in this market fluctuates from $3 to $6 in gold per pound. Wood in Exchange for Garden. A man by the name of Frank Rouch, living on the other side of Chestnut, was complaining to-day because the river had washed away his little garden. He said, however, that he did not care, as the flood had deposited about 100 cords of wood where the garden stood. This is a fair exchange, as wood is worth $5 a cord here. Increasing Carbon's Value. Carbons having five times the effect of ordinary carbons upon silver bromide for the same current consumption can be obtained, according to L. C. Marquart, by adding to the paste 0.5 per cent of a mixture of equal parts by weight of the nitrates of yttrium and of lead.
