The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. HOW TO GET FAT IF YOU ARE THIN "When the Japanese woman wants to get fat she eat potatoes, drinks milk, takes as many raw eggs as possible and indulges in the starchy sauces and cakes for which Japan is famous. It is, but the excessive sweetness of the diet would not be agreeable to all palates. "The German way of getting fat is much more reasonable, and in this season when all women must be comfortably clothed with flesh it is interesting. I may stop right here to eat a lot of potatoes, keeping year within the memory of physique turists. A woman must be just at normal; no more and no less. If she has good hips she is above normal and is not pretty; if she is flat in the chest she is undeveloped and lacks style. The woman is in making her at just the right weight. "It is easy to take down fat and so much has been written about reducing the weight that it is almost unnecessary to say a word more. The woman who weighs 200 and who would like to lose fifty pounds, can easily do. Getting rid of your pounds is one of the most difficult things. It is merely a matter of self-doubt, but getting fat is much more difficult. Women Who Are Naturally Thin: "There are women who seem born to be thin. They have. they have look like claws, their arms are more bone with yellow skin drawn over the skinny length; they are flat in the chest and they have no shape at all. They are thin as rails and there is no beauty in them. Nobody ever admired a very amused woman. "The fat woman fat woman it is different, for she can always reduce her weight to the point of being prettily proportioned. "Getting fat is tedious, unless you know just how to do it. But, if you do understand the art, you can add to your weight several ounces a day. "You must learn to move slowly; your actions must be deliberate. You must get out of the habit of hustling. You must forget the fact that you have obligations and engagements; or, you must learn not to worry about them. Thin people are great worriers. You must. If you are thin, learn how to sleep. Seriously, people are poor sleepers; they are restless and full of bad dreams, insomnia is a favorite dis- AN EFFECTIVE ARM EXERCISE FOR THE WOMAN WHO IS TOO SLENDER comfort with them, they can't rest. "If you are thin you must cultivate a taste for the right kind of food. Thin people don't like candy, they don't like pasta and they do not nibble between meals. They do not like the little snacks which the fat woman delights in and which keeps her stout. "The thin woman is too fond of salads, she likes hard, fruit; she eats pickles and all sorts of sour meats, has a taste for the lean meats, the dry foods and the green vegetables without a particle of fat in them. The thin sister eats the very food which the fat member of the family would scorn to touch. "There is in New York a boarding-house for thin women. At a rather high rate of board they taken women who are underweight and they fatten up or eight weeks according to the person they have given they turned away a boarder as hopeless. "For breakfast they give the thin slender hot as so as she can drink and all the hot bread but as well and as much sweet butter on her hot bread as it will carry. Thin women do not like butter, but the hot bread is buttered for the guests, so it is a questionating it, all buttered, or going without. A Diet for Thin Women. "The thin sister suffers from indigestion and for this there are some simple remedies given with the food. Before meals there is a little charcoal tablet to warm up your stomach after meals. But the thin sister is not to depend upon medication. She is to eat very slowly and to masticate or "Fletcherize" her food. Fletcher chews each mouthful three minutes. This is where almost the worst case of indigestion. "The thin woman is generally a very heavy eater, but she吃的 things that do not fatten; she is also very nervous and her head aches. But, as she changes her diet, these symptoms improve and she becomes fat with a pretty, plump flesh that is very good to her. "An even frame of mind is advised for the thin woman. If she will think pleasant thoughts and sing gay songs she cannot worry she will find her flesh hardening and nothing like a peaceful frame of mind for the accumulation of fat. "Queen Alexandra struggles each day with a tendency to leanness. Her sisters are very thin and her mother was sicken by her diet, so decidedly too thin for beauty, and her gowns were padded and every artifact was tried in order to give her figure that roundness so necessary for beauty. Finally, however, she adopted a diet that softens on her bones and gave her that creamy skin which is so much admired. "Then queen takes her bread spread with cream, instead of butter; and she eats five or six tiny meals a day. This is to keep the stomach from getting too full, and become acute. The thin woman must street noises; little things bother her; she is a bunch and bundle of nerves. But a diet of sweet cream, brown forms will act as sugars in various forms will act as nerves, providing the diet is not carried too far. The thin woman must not make herself slick eating sweets. "Deep breathing is wonderfully effective for putting flesh on the chest. The thin woman must chest, should open the windows and take long, deep breaths of air, many times a day. It would be a good if she could sleep in the open air, and summer, and if she would remain in doors most of her waking hours. Exercises for Thin Women. "The woman who is too fat must walk in the open air in order to create she energy to burn up her flesh. And, she will fatten the very same process will fatten the skin. Her gestion will improve, and she will put on a layer of smooth white flesh. "Arm exercise is splendid for the woman who is too thin. The house-worker is almost always stout; she is a chestnut. The woman who works at the wash tubs is fat; so is the sweeper; and so are all indoor women. It is the motion with the arms that develops the muscles, quels the nerves and makes a woman fat. "The woman is the most fattening of all agencies; and the woman who is thin as a rail can put on flesh by rubbing in a certain flesh forming foods. In one of the physical culture schools they sell a little jar of flesh which is to last just six days. A day, a week, a month. The 'food' is made my mixing equal parts of white wax, white vase-lanolin and lanolin. And this is added an equal quantity of almond oil. A little attar of rose flowers it nicely. The skin will soft until the flesh feels soft. It acts as a bleach as well as a skin food. "The woman who wants to get fat will learn to smile. Nothing adds to one's flash like the habit of smiling. Laugh and grow fat is no joke. Think hard. The thin woman has wrinkles in her face and she must fatten her jaws in order to plump her skin and banish the wrinkles. There are skin foods for fattening the face and for plumping the body. To make the face fatter take a little bit of cream, and rub the wrinkles upward. There are certain movements for fattening the face. The first is the upward movement from the tip of the chin to the ears. Don't rub downward the chin. Don't rub downward a handful of the wrinkled cream, warm it slightly in the palm of the hand and rub both hands together until they are full of the creamy paste. Now begin at the tip of the chin and rub upward the motion to be steadily upward right from the palm to the ears a dozen or more strokes to the minute. This does away with the double chin; the motion must be steadily upward to the ears a dozen or more strokes to the minute; and makes the face a pretty one. The second of the massage motions, for fattening the face, is the forehead motion. For wetting the face, with skin food and go across the forehead gently from side to side, fattening the face out the lines with the fingers. It is soothing and not difficult.

"If the face is very thin there is the Egyptian method in use these many centuries. The face is wet with hot water which is gently spotted into the skin and then the skin is warm. A layer of skin food is now spread upon the face and allowed to remain on for fifteen minutes. At the end of that time the skin food is very soft and the face is moist and receptive." "Now for the massage; and there must be four motions. The first with the finger tips, going across the forehead, between the eyes. This can be repeated a dozen times until the skin is warm. The second is up and down as to rub away the horizontal lines in the forehead. The tips of the fingers are rubbed lightly up and down the forehead, going across the lines that the chin is kept in. Most women have these awful lines cutting the forehead right from temple to temple. "The third massage is the massage for the chin chin is from the tip of the chin and the neck. Most women have these awful lines cutting the forehead right from temple to temple. The bag of flesh which thin women have under the chin, and to take away that ugly "nip" which appears in the fourth massage is at the same time. The fourth massage is at the same time. The skin is actually honey-combed with tiny lines that cut the flesh and make it ugly. "Massage is the best of all fattening agencies for the woman who is too tired to should massage night and morning, warm, clean and firm, while it is getting fat. Drinking chocolate or cocoa will fatten the face, and candy is a great face fattener. Women who eat are generally very fat in the faws. LIFT YOUR ARMS AND TAKE A LONG DEEP BREATH. "The woman who wants to get fat and cannot do so, should walk a great deal, taking plenty of food as she travels. In Holland there are little places, where she the pedestrian can stop and get food, Wilhelmina, herself, frequently visits these, and with her mother is a frequent sight for girl tourists in Holland. The long, pretty drives are dotted with milk, beans and corn, touristic stops, drinks her glass of water, some good brown bread, perhaps, and sits a while upon a wooden bench to rest. This treatment—the glass of milk, with the long, pleasant walk, with the glass of water, of the best fatters in the world. Getting fat depends largely upon the starchy food one eats. Potatoes, all vegetables that ripen underground, peas, beans and corn are all decidedly to be avoided by the woman who wants to take off her fat. "Getting fat may seem rather difficult to the woman who has been thin all her life; but she has the word of advice to be given, and it can be done, and she has only to try it for herself to be convinced." Some Secrets of Success. A man with a manta for answering advertisements had some interesting experiences, says the hardware Reporter. He learned that by sending $15 to a company a cure for drunkards. And he did. It was to take the pledge and keep it. Then he sent 50 cents to find out how to raise turnips successfully. He found out: "Just take hold of the tops and bring them in." Being young he wished to marry, and sent thirty-four 1-cent stamps to a Chicago firm for information as to how to make an impression. When the answer came it read: "Sit down on a pad of dough." More advertisement he answered read: "How to double your money in six months." He was told to convert his money into bills, fold them and thus double his money. Next he sent for twelve useful house-hold articles and got a package of money. He was slow to learn, so he sent $1 to find out "how to get rich." "Work hard and never spend a cent." That stopped him. But his brother wrote to find out how to write without a pen and ink. He paid $10 to buy a pencil. He paid $1 to learn how to work, and was told on a postal card: "Fish for easy marks as we do." High Finance. "Say, Jmks, I have a proposition to put before you." "Put ahead." "We are going to chip in and buy a beestafest on credit. We propose to bond it for four times the purchase price, sell the bonds, and pay the butcher. Then we're going to divide the beestafest. Are you in?" BRITISH NOBLEMEN SEEK BRIDES FROM THE STAGE A BLES are flashing over seas the news that Cupid has been very busy lately among sons of noble houses and daughters of the footlights. ABLES are fashing overseas the news that Cupid has been very busy lately among nobil houses and daughters of the footlights. Added to the already long list of peers who have found their affinities in music halls and theaters, three more, so the report goes, are about to bestow their titles and their fortunes upon women with such a succession of this character a shudder passes through the ranks of British society. It is not a shudder of horror because more actresses are destined to invade the ranks of the smart set—for the profession has a standing in England but it is a shudder of apprehension. It means, so British students of social matters declare, that conditions among the upper class in the empire must change, or the percentage of aristocratic spinners will increase with the reasons. Why do British nobles persist in marrying women of the stage? Why do they ignore the women of their own rank, some of whom might bring them ample fortunes, and marry actresses who in many cases possess neither family nor riches? The answer is apparent to the most cannual observer of British social conditions. The stiff formality which often breeds duliness among English girls COUNTESS OF ROSSLYN, Who Was Anna Robinson, an American Chorus Girl—She Has Just Divorced Her Husband, and the many conventions which hamper social relations are the factors in the system which are to blame. They are the high hat and long coat for generations the garb of every self-respecting Briton, is disappearing before the present day tendency to override formality in dress as well as in manner. Time was when a man would have been ostracised for wearing a sack suit in the afternoon among London's socially elitist, but to day, it is no offense to wear one all day long. This desire to get away from set forms and stald traditions gets a rude jar when it comes up against customs in society. Guarded carefully from her birth, the artistic maled culturer, the artistic moulder and the set form of conversation manier and her of much of the naturalness so charming in young womanhood. Add to this the chapereo system which is adhered to most rigidly on all occasions, and it is easily seen that the artistic British hotel is, a very serious business, indeed. But on the other hand, the women of the stage shine in resplendent contrast to their dignified sisters in the social world. Most of the footlight is pretty, and are accompanied in the entire room nearly all possess education and breeding enough to adapt themselves to any sphere. And then they are not bothered and hampered by chaperones. These "watchdogs" of the drawing-room and conservator, who frequently discourse with the artist, are no more of high social station, have no part in the life of the actress. She is one who can take care of herself. She has her own apartments, and she gives her own little teas and receptions. These are where an accepted admirer may pour forth his story of 'devotion, and the quiet restaurant where they go to dine unattended offers another good opportunity for the cultivation of a romance. Independence, which permits the development of individuality added to her charm of face or manner cannot fail to arouse by contrast the admiration of the men when they remember the staid, prim and conventional misses they meet in society. And there you are. That's why the British "400"—or what corresponds to the American "300"—the other sidestops up and takes notice, an ingenuance every few weeks when a new nobleman fails victim to Cupid's arrow aimed through the near of a stage favorite. There is very good reason to believe that Maude Darrel, the pretty blonde in the Burke's part in "Mrs. Ponderbury's Past," is engaged to the young and rich marquis of Anglesea. Princess Patricia of Connaught was said once to be pining away for the marquis, to be on Anglesea, was reported engaged in a role as actress who is now playing in America. But it is neither the princess nor Miss Billie, it is Maude. Miss Darrell own a house in fashionable Berkeley Square, London. She has jewels which an Indian rajah gave to keep her in an aisos, hosiery and ingerie, and incidentally gowns, hats, board and lodging for the rest of her days. But the marquis is not exactly "broke" himself. His fortune is ample, so there is no suspicion that he is seeking to obtain those jewels. It is purely a love affair. Along these same lines it may be well to recount a second piece of gossip which couples the names of Vioa Tree, oldest daughter of Beerobm Tree, the actor, and Lord Granby, elder and heir of the duke of Rutland, the best authority that the duke and Miss Tree are engaged to be married. Lord Granby became twenty-one only a month ago, while Miss Tree is twenty-three. She is now touring the provinces as leading woman in her career as a missionary as a passion for the stage, compelling her to fight against his wishes, to help her on her stage career. She will be the first actress to become a duchess, the record for rank being now held by Rosie Phelan, who is now marchioness of Headford. Lord Granby is not fulfilling the aspiration of his grandfather, who was the author of the historic couple: "Let commerce, arts and learning die, B spare us still our old nobility." Visiting the from legitimate stage to win a peer, Hitherto British aristocrats have fallen in love only with show girls. Furthermore, if rumor is true, she will be the first actress to actually come to the future husband, Lady Marjorie Manners, is destined eventually to marry Prince Arthur of Connaught. A third reported engagement of a peer and an actress is that of the earl and beautiful, fascinating Gabrielle Rohlfsky for supremacy as a picture post card favorite are the Dare sisters, whose engagements to various titular sultans have frequently been reported. Stanhope is twenty-seven, quite hardheaded and an officer of the Grenadier Guards.

Inroads made upon the list of eligible youths of the stage women. But they are powerless to stem the tide under the present conditions in the smart set. He Couldn't Wait. Down in Cochran, Ga, the affairs of civil justice are administered by Judge Edwards, who is also an enthusiastic farmer. One cloudy spring afternoon THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or olique. 6-It asks no power to people's court was convened to try a peculiarly tortuous and perplexing case. Judge Edwards listened with growing unrest. He was observed at last to seize a slip of paper, scribble a few words, place the document beneath a heavy paper, and reach for his hat, says the Nashville judge. "Caintain," he called, cheerly, "excuse me for interruptin' you, sah! you go right on with your argument, which is a darned good one. "sush goin' to rain this evening, gentleman, an' I got to set out my potatoes right away. But you go right on, captain! When you an' the major get through you I will decide under this hea paper weight." The door closed upon an astonished orator. HE MADE GOOD. A lieutenant attached to one of the Eastern forts gained a reputation for his unlimited betting on the slightest provocation. It was but a short time before he and nearly cleaned out all members of the company he was attached. It was therefore with some relief that the members and officers saw him transferred to Kansas. But the day before his arrival the colonel of the Eastern fort wrote to his wife, saying that he was of the reputation and sharpness of the betting lieutenant, so that the Western contingent were fully aware of what was coming. Upon the day of his arrival he was colonel of the company he remarked: "I understand you in what of a reputation for betting in the East." The lieutenant tried to bellieve the statement, but as the colonel got in touch with the lieutenant said: "Tell you $50 that the lieutenant said: something on your back." The colonel MAUDIE DARRELL, Reported Engaged to the Young Man quis of Anglesea. denied having anything on his back excep cept his uniform. The lieutenant said: "I'll bet you $50 you have got two big red spots on your back, near your shoulder blade." The colonel took him up quickly. The money was put in the hands of a brother officer. The lieutenant said who was the winner, so off he progged who was the winner, so off he uniform, even to the shirt. There was nothing on the colonel's back, and so the bet was lost by the lieutenant, who was the winner. The colonel was tickled at a little, and the same night wrote his Eastern colonel friend of the circumstances. Much was his surprise within a wee hour of bet. Colonel: That scamp of a lieutenant bet me $150 the day he left that he would have the shirt off your back before he was the fort twenty-four hours."—New York Times. Autumn Leaves.

HAD NOT GUMPTION GOOD REASON WHY RAILROADER WAS STILL BRAKEMAN. Incident Noted by Chicago Writer Told the Whole Story—No Advancement Possible for Such a Man. I wondered why it was that young man was a brakeman on a passenger train, writes Hollis W. Field in the Chicago Tribune. It was up in Wisconsin, and for miles through the dust of the roadbed and the storm of clinders from the locomotive I had sat in the smoker, smoked and smoking—some. Having no one to talk to, and—because of the dust and the cinders—unable to have talked anyhow, I passed the time wondering at that brakeman. He was a handsome, built fellow, 25 years old, neat, attentive to the calling of the numerous stations, quick at alighting on the depot platforms, friendly with scores of station louners, and yet alert in passing on the conductor's starting signal to the engineer. Altogether it seemed an outrage that such a young man should be a passenger brakeman on a branch line, a job that had no beginning and no end worth the while. But not till we reached the end of the line did I discover why this young man was a passenger brakeman. Long before we pulled into the terminal station the news agent had stripped himself of his livery, emptied his fruit baskets, packed his papers and periodicals, dusted and brushed himself for the streets. In one of the brackets at the far end of the car two of the news agent's small baskets, empty, rested squarely and firmly against the motion of the trains, one "nested" within the other. The train still was bowling on when the brakeman began to strip himself of the decoral blue coat and vest and visored his baskets, the baskets back when he stepped to the car bracket for the purpose of depositing coat, vest and cap in the same bracket which contained the "nested" baskets. First, the brakeman took out the baskets, spread his coat neatly in the bottom of the bracket, laid his vest over it, topped the two with his cap, and set the nested baskets back on top, but bottom side down. On the baskets topped to the floor, naturally. He preserved his temper and set them back—and down they came again. Something was wrong. He decided is was the cap. He backed the cap under his coat, and set the backsack upon the coat and vest. But before he could get into his street vest, down he could get into his mirror—and then did that which four grains of common sense would have prompted in the beginning: He took his clothes out of the bracket and set the "nested" flat baskets back into place. Then he spread his coat in the bottom of the top basket, laid his vest smoothly upon the coat, and far over his cap aslant from the top. There to stay until the cows came home. Why he didn't do that in the beginning is why he was a brakeman on a jerkwater passenger train. Railroads to Cross Andes. The prophets predict that are many years have passed there will be at least three railroads across the Andes, one of them transcontinental, the others connecting with steamers on the Amazon or its tributaries. The line which now runs from Valparaiso to Juncal is to be extended through a series of railroads or ten years will be finished, and it will connect with an Argentine road at Mendoza. The remarkable Central Peruvian road, which rises 6,000 feet in 50 miles from its terminus and crosses the eastern range at an elevation of 15,655 feet, will in no great time be ready to carry passengers to the Ucayali river, thence there is an 800-mile journey ere the traveler reaches the head of navigation for ocean going vessels. And that place is 2,000 miles from the Atlantic. Another road farther to the north will greatly shorten the journey. First Excursion Train. No. 17 St. James street, Nottingham, which has just had a narrow escape from destruction by fire, possesses unusual interest, for it was there that the Nottingham Mechanics' institution passed its early days, an institution to which belongs the distinction of having organized the first railway excursion ever run. This was on July 20, 1880, when the first successful so great a success was achieved that August 24 a larger excursion was run—London Standard. Ballasted with Gold A section of the Canadian Northern railroad running northwest from Sudbury and crossing the Vermillion river, is unique in that it is ballasted with gold.

It is said that all rules are made to be broken among one has been by Joseph Santley. Young Santley will be remembered as being featured in many a play where the part of the boy was made the hero, and he was considered the best in his line.

Novelties abound in each of the four acts and the central figures portrayed by Mr. Santley, is certainly an heroic young lover.

Few, if any, attractions which tour the Empire Circuit have been accorded the praise which has been enjoyed by Pat White and his Gaiety Girls Company, which will be next week's attraction at the Star Theater. Pat White, the most unfortunate Irish comedian on the vaudeville stage, heads the list of artists. He is surrounded by a capable company of artists and has supplied them with two satires which promise to surpass anything that he has ever written. They are respectively styled "A Grand Stand Play," or "Casey at the Bat," and "The Down and Out Drug Store." Both of these are very handsomely costumed and appropriately sceneried. The vaudeville acts which will be offered contain: Zalma Sommers, comedienne; Jennings & Webb, sketch artists, The Four Terrors; direct from Europe, in a novel singing and contortion dancing act; Watson & Bert, the best known singing and talking act before the public, and The Marvelous Malvern Troupe of Acrobats, five in number, make their initial American bow with this company. A very excellent chorus of show girls constitute the chorus, and will appear at intervals and will render many very catchy musical numbers, many of them being original. Pat White will bring his Gaiety Girls here in its entree and promises an entertainment that will be the equal of any and the superior of many of the like organizations which now are touring the Empire Circuit. Wednesday and Friday will be ladies' days. Amateur night Thursday. THE STATE SAVINGS BANK. Total Deposits, $3,000,000—Surplus Fund. $60,000.

The onion need have no fears. Its position is secure. Born of the illy 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 fleshhots 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 $ \mathrm{h 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 comforts trains and ships, not by the desperate expedients of Jules Verne. We are told that the tickets cost only about $25 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 tarpion it was in pursuit of, for sharks in those waters have never been known to attack a man. Most of the tortoise shell of commerce is obtained from 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. 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. It is time to build that high board fence around your daughter when she begins to walk out to the gate in the evening, and look wistful.—Atchison Globe. Administration.
