A commercial weekly, In reviewing
current prices, nays that lemons aie
"stronger" and raspberries flrmei.
Unfortunately this does not. mean
that a dozen lemons will make more
lemonade or that It will be hardei to
convert raspberries into jam.
The first gold pens made in this
country were all manufactured by
hand, the gold being cut from strips of
the metal by scissors, and every sub-
sequent operation being performed by
hand. These hand-made gold pens
cost from $5 to $20, and were far in-
ferior to the machine made article of
the present day.
The sixth contract for American lo-
comotives to be delivered in Japan has
just heen closed with the American
locomotive company and will be filled
from Schenectady. It is for eighteen
engines. An order for thirty locomo
fives for the government railroads of
New Zealand is being filled at the
Baldwin works in Philadelphia.
The tendency among the British
middle classes is rather to live above
their incomes than within them. There
is also a passion for luxury in London
and a desire to display, which seems
a peculiarly stupid and useless desire
in a huge city, where one seldom
knows one's neighbors. And so, too.
the cordial "pot luck" dinners of a
generation ago have given place to
ceremonial champagne functions, in
which a man out of dress clothes is
out of place.
A detective of a big department
store said the other day: "Winter is
by all means our busiest season. In
summer time the stores are bothered
but little by shoplifters, but as soon
as cool weather sets in their annual
reapparance begins. Why? Well, 1
figure it this way. First, there are
fewer persons in the stores in hot
weather and the nimble-fingered ones
run a greater risk of discovery. I hen,
again, winter clothes—long overcoats
and wraps—are the best possible means
of concealing their booty, that is prob-
ably the main reason for the shop
lifter's inactivity during the warm
months."

Probably the most elaborate meer-
schaum pipe in this country is now in
process of coloring by a New York
merchant, who bought it from a local
manufacturer recently for $1,800. l ho
pipe is known as a "character pipe
to the trade, and is a wonderfully
carved reproduction of the painting
"St. John at His Bath." It represents
six maidens grouped around a fountain
and either St. John is concealed be-
hind the fountain or in it; he is not
In sight, at any rate. The figures are
chiseled from a solid piece of meer-
schaum. which was imported fiom
Turkey. The labor expended upon it
extended over a period of two years,
and the amber mouthpiece alone cost
$500.
The money value of a title In other
than a matrimonial market is illustrat-
ed by the policy of an old established
manufacturing business in New York
city which sells its products all over
Europe. The present manager, like his
father, is very democratic, but for
business reasons he continues the pol-
icy established by his father. No
agents are employed abroad except
men with titles. This Is easily ar-
ranged in Germany and France and
Russia, but it sometimes causes in-
convenience in England. A titled
agent on the continent, no matter how
poor he may be, can usually get a
hearing in a business house easier
than a man without a title. No bogus
titles are allowed, and the company's
list of foreign ag«ts reads like a
court circular.
training a husband.
The man who has everything his
jwn way with women is Invariably the
man who in childhood was taught con-
sideration for them. Sisters are good
material to practice on. as then, even
if your well-trained paragon never
Inds a mate worthy of him (a contin-
gency which I fear few mothers would
weep over), somebody will be the
gainer. "Good boys love their sisters,
is the old doggerel runs, but they are
rarely polite to them. All but the best
of them have two languages for girls-
one for other boys' sisters, one which
they perhaps consider to be efficacious
in training their own sisters for the
other boys' wives. They are fatally
liable to mix the two up, or else to
gradually merge them into one lan-
guage—always, alas! the rough
"bossy." half-contemptuous one used
to the sisters rather than the expensive
and troublesome one of unaccustome
courtesy to other girls.
Hoys Without Sister*.
But there are boys who have no sis-
ters. For these, and even those who
have and who may be nice to them,
there is the danger of getting out of
touch with the feminine world and life.
Some mothers are so anxious that t e r
boys shall be boys that it is a case
of "too much boy." Respecting wom-
en, and, perhaps—though almost too
wild a hope—showing politeness to-
ward them, they yet find themselves at
18 or 20 as far removed from any abil
ity to understand the thoughts, wishes,
ways and temperaments of the sex
they are likely to marry as the China-
man is unable to understand the Eng-
lishman. They make the men who say
woman is an enigma, to avoid the
trouble of solving her. They make also
the men whose wives cry after ey
have gone off without remembering to
kiss them goodby. That woman s a
creature who likes goodby and other
kisses; that she dosen't like you to
read or whistle when she is talking to
you (nor do other men) ; that she can
bear being disagreed with when she
tells you she knows she is losing all her
looks ("My poor girl!" is a decidedly
infelicitous reply to make), and that
slit doesn't like her comments on poll-
tics and the great world's other doings
to be treated like those of "an infant
crying for the light," even if they are
such are things every mother owes
it to her impending or unimpending
daughter-in-law to teach her son.
The Mother's Duty.
She can do it by other means than
throwing him into the companionship
of fascinating gl.ta, if that ruffles her
maternal anxiety. Close companion-
ship with her need not be apron-
strings A woman without sons once
said to one who has; "I don't want
the seat in a street car of any full
grown man, tired out with his work.
B„t it exasperates me beyond endur-
ance to see strong boys still in school,
boys able to stand or to sit on a
barbed wire fence all day watching a
ball game, complacently occupying
seats while delicate women pitch
around hanging on straps, it is bad
for the boys, because they surely must
know it is bad for the women.
••How are they to know it?" asked
her friend.
"Their mothers must surely ha\e
told them. Didn't you ever tell yours
•o?"
"No " confessed the other. I never
thought of it." But it Is safe to pre-
dict that she thought fit the next time
she lurched around in a car while a
bach of healthy half-grown boys com-
fortably cracked jokes and peanuts In
their seats.

Interesting, though impossible,
would be a comparison of the differ-
ent little things (it is always a little
thing) which have led different women
to begin thinking of the man they
ended by marrying. Ten to one it was
some little act of niceness and gentle
ness whose seeds were sown while he
still toddled and played ch""c
cars " One woman confessed that s
was'first attracted to her husband be-
cause he spoke of all women as girls
irrespective of age. A mQther must
have been somewhere at the bottom if
that habit. He who would offer apples
sufficiently golden and bright to tempt
the breathless Atlanta of today fiom
the various goals of ambition to which
she is hastening must have had the
seeds planted long years before he was
old enough to care for them.
And woman has always been most
actively concerned with the apple in-
dustry—Philadelphia Press.

Soundless Powder Kelt.
The chances of smokeless powder
seem seriously compromised by the re-
cent invention of the Roman General
Gilletta. Thanks to the latter's "acous-
tic telemeter" it is now possible to as-
certain the exact spot whence the fir-
ing proceeds.—Manchester Guardian.
The Typewriter Invention.
A statistician has proved that the In-
vention of the typewriter has given em-
ployment to 500,000 people, but he fails to
state how many eases of weak stomachs

of sedentary occupation need Hostetter a

Iclne and helps nature bear the strain
which ensues from confinement. It also
cures dyspepsia, indigestion, co"stlp{tt'°''

will not be disappointed.

WISCONSIN FARM LANDS.
The best of farm lands can be ob-
tained now in Marinette County. Wis-
consin, on the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railway at a low price and on
very favorable terms. Wisconsin Is
noted for its fine crops, excellent
markets and healthful climate. Why
rent a farm when you can buy one
much cheaper than you can rent and
in a few years it will be your own
property. For particulars address

Two Federal l>ep«rtroents.
Two federal departments disburse al-
most exactly the same amount in sal-
aries, the treasury department and the
interior department, in Washington,
$5,000,000 each. But the treasury de-
i partment has 40 more employes than
the interior department, the average
rate of compensation in the treasury
service, in which there are many wom-
en employed, being less than in thtf
other.
Heading Aloud.
People with chest complaints are
recommended by medical men to lead
aloud, as this : trengthens throat, lungs
and chest muscles alike. The reading
should be deliberate, without being al-
lowed to drag, and the enunciation
clear, the body being held in an easy,
unstrained, upright position, so that
the chest will have free play. The
breathing should be natural and as
deep as possible without undue effort.

GIRL'S FROCK.
The edge of the bolero, also the bot-
tom of the skirt, is slashed open and
trimmed with little
straps of soutache,
showing under-
neath on the skirt
a plaiting of silk
of the same shade
as the cloth.
The blouse is of
this silk, and over
this the bolero is
fastened by two
straps of cream
lace insertion. The
revers are also of
cream lace. The girdle is of the ma-
terial.—Le Costume Elegant.

The Bent They Can Do.
The French cannot "kick" a man.
The best they can do is to give him
"a hit with the foot." A Portuguese
cannot "wink" at a girl. He must
lengthen it out into closing and
opening of the eyes." Most of the In-
dian languages are stated to have no
word to express the idea of "stealing,
and one of the early missionaries who
translated the Bible into the Algon-
quin speech, finding they have no word
to express "love," was forced to in-
vent one.
An Incomplete House.
We run wild over the furnishings of
a house; its furniture, carpets, hang-
ings, pictures and music, and always
forget or neglect the most important
requisite. Something there should be
always on the shelf to provide against
sudden casualties or attacks of pain.
Such come like a thief in the night, a
sprain, strain, sudden backache, tooth-
ache or neuralgic attack. There is
nothing easier to get than a bottle of
St. Jacob's Oil, and nothing surer to
cure quickly any form of pain. 1 ho
house is incomplete without it. Com-
plete it with a good supply.
