IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE IN 173E TIMES • MONEY SLANG, Term. Applied to Colas glad yank Notes in' Eai:lunl. "We may think there is a great deal o! slang in English as we commonly use it in this country," Dir. J. L+`. sora - glum observes, "but in at least one re- spect the collogulul tongue of England surpasses the wealth of terms we pos- sess in this regard, and that is the slang relating to money. The American uses astonishingly few slang' words jn speaking of pieces of u1ouey, perhaps because a be has a t s greater rt:app;t for it. A five cent piece is usually If terred to as a nickel, but this is pracJIeally the only slang term applied to any of our money in general use. A dime Is offi- cially a dime, and so is a quarter. "But turn to the English appellations for their money and ltar,:ly n bit of it is referred to under its authorized and official designation. A shilling is seldom called such in London. They cell it a 'bob,' and a 'quid,' which means a piece of tobacco in this country, is what they term a pound. Sixpence they call a 'tanner,' fourpence a 'Joey' and a penny more often than net is unknown to the street gamins save as a 'mag,' A cab- man will not tell you a ride will cost 5 shillings, but that it will require a 'bull' to pay for it, and a half crown is 'half a bull,' These are prevailing ex- pressions for the pieces of money wide- ly handled, but proper terms for higher amounts are kicked aside and collo- qulal terms substituted for them. "At a race track if a bettor says he has ventured a 'pony' on the probable outcome of a race he does not mean that as it would appear to us, but -sim- ply that he has wagered £2:5 on the re- sult. Where money is handled in large amounts it is not an infrequent thing to bear one say of another that he has a 'monkey' of lnQpey, meaning that the individual referred to is the proud pos- sessor of £500. So you see in compari- son with this plethora of riches our lone nickel is a poor crop of monetary slang indeed." 3, AFGHAN FEUDS. Towers of Refuge From Which the Warfare Is Conducteii. In Afghanistan the people are good slaters. The blood feud exists in •ell Afghan tribes. When a murder oc- curs the avenger does not limit his re- prisal to the murderer, but kills any relative that comes handy. This, his> in turn, culls for a counter attack, and in time matters become so complicated that whole families are wiped out. When the tribe is called upon to meet a common enemy the heads of the families who have had a quarrel bury two stones side by side in the presence of the mollnh as symbolic of the fend being put out of sight during the pub- lic danger. When affairs revert to their normal state the stones are sol- emnly disinterred and the two parties are free to go on shooting at each other again. Every Afghan villager of moderate means owns a tower of refuge standing at the corner of his courtyard. These towers, made of stone and mud, are perfectly solid for the lower twenty feet or so, the top being surrounded by a loophole wall and covered over to make it habitable. The base is protect- ed by a gallery, and the only means of ascent is by a rope and n hole just large enough for one man to crawl through. Whenever a man has macre 'things too hot for himself he takes refuge in his tower, and by the un- written law of the couutry he can never be starved out so long as food and water are brought to him by a woman. A traveler in Afghanistan tells of seeing one tower of refuge whose occu- pant had not, ,tirred outside for ten years. IIis only amusement was tak- ing shots at the occupant of another tower, which were duly returned. In the meantime their wives visited each other and gossiped and were on terms of perfect amity. Macedonian Peasants. In a magazine article on Macedonian refugees the author describes them as a peasantry of the lowest type—dull witted and of poor physique, corrupt, degraded and semisavage. "The gratitude of Macedonian wom- en can occasionally be more alarming than their indignation," says the au- thor. "They embrace Me in a hug of dirty rags, and they kiss me on both cheeks. One poor old lady told me, after this ceremony, that she had been mourning the death of her son for eight years to such an extent that dur- ing all of that period she had never washed her head! 'No soap,' she cried, `will ever touch hie again. I mourn al- ways!' » The Cause of the Trouble. "What Is the matter with that ba- by?" growled au irascible husband as the little one persisted in howling and Licking to the extent of his little might. "The matter is, sir," calmly replied the wife ns she strode up and down the "the baby t o matter is that t o this s U y in, limits your temper." And the husband returned to his pa, per with a gloomier look than before. The Proud Paint. "Baby carriages? Yes, sir," said the dealer. "What sort of one did yell want?" "Well," said Nlipop proudly, "you'd better give me a six months' size. He's 'only six weeks old, but largo for his age." A Deduction. "Ho declares his wife made him all that he is." "()bite likely.

It is better to be wrong and have your wife agree with ycu than to be right and try to convince her. Some of the farmers of ibis vicinity have been rnising sugar beets this year. They report that the crop is a very good one, the weather being very favorable. One farmer said that instead of plant- ing 2 acres this year, he will plant 10 !next y tar. He says that the beets do not make as much work to attend to as people are made to believe. If the prices are at all good, he will reap a handsome profit from his two acres. His neighbors are closely watching the re- sults he achieves, and if they are favor- s ble this year, a large number of acreage will be put under crop next year. The beets go t o the Berlin Sugar Co. with rubber.

STEINER, A Woman Who Turned xiront Music to Become it Miner, Miss Emma R. Steiner, who once conducted Seidl's orchestra through a concert in Chickering hall, New 'York, consisting entirely of her own compo• sitions and who is well known as a musician and composer in the metrop. oils, turned from her music to become a professional miner, She made three trips into Alaska, prospecting with good results, then located in New York long enough to take a coarse in metal- lurgy and mineralogy at Columbia un'- versity and a course in assaying and. analysis at Cooper Union and than MISS EMMA n. STEHTER. again turned her steps toward Alaska, where she has holdings of her own dis- covery the valve of which it is impossi- ble to estimate. Miss Steiner's ,career in the north has been full of adventure. She was the first woman to go into the Seward peninsula and is the discoverer of tin deposits there which are at present the only deposits of commercial value on the American continent. She endured great hardships on a trip of 130 miles from Nome, partly by ca- noe along the shallow coast and partly by pack train into a barren wilderness, to which even fuel had to be carried in from the const on men's backs. IIer discovery is considered one of the most important mineral finds in recent years, as the enormous amount of tin used in manufactures in this country has all been imported from abroad hitherto. A daughter of Colonel Frederick B. Steiner of Baltimore, this woman of many achievements is probably best known as the author of the little song "She's IrIsh." She also wrote the op- eras "Fleurette" and "The Little IIus- sar" and five other operas.—New York Herald. Polishing the DIning Table. Although I have repeatedly given di- rections for removing the stains from and polishing the dining table, I con- tinue to receive many letters similar to yours, so I repeat once more the direc- tion for this work: Get a pint of lin- seed oil, a pint of paraffin oil, half a pound of finely powdered rottenstone and a pint of turpentine. These ma- terials will last you a year or more for your table or other furniture which re- quires special polishing. Ilave a couple of pieces of old felt hat, some pieces of cheesecloth and a large piece of well worn soft linen or instead of the linen a piece of chamois. Pour lin- seed oil on the marred places, then sprinkle with the powdered rotten - stone and rub with the piece of felt. Let the movement be light, quick and circular. Be careful not to use pres- sure enough to cut the varnish. Itub until the surface of the wood becomes hot. Be careful not to let the rotten - stone become dry, as it then would scratch the finish. Add oil from time to tim% and, if needs be, rottenstone. When the table is sufficiently polished wipe clean with a piece of cheesecloth with an equal mixture of turpentine and paraffin oll; rub the table well with this and let it stand for several hours, then polish with chamois or old linen. In polishing furniture you can use a great deal of. pressure. Get an es- bestus cover for your table.—Ladies' Home Journal. Ilow to Dress Well. Study your figure, coloring, height, etc., so that you know not only your good points, but your defects. From the standpoint of common sense you will realize that certain lines and col- ors are not possible for your use, while others must be in evidence in any gown you select as a model. If one or two costumes or hats have been par- ticularly becoming or specially suited to you, think out what were the points about those creations that made them so successful, and when you have found thorn you have some of the es- sential elements adapted to your per- sonality. Vary the effect in as many ways as possible, but alwnys insist on the baste principles that make the habit suit you as an individual. That is the se- cret of distinction in dress, which is What is meant when we use the word "style." The woman who selects a model in tate prevailing mode and adapts it with certain differences to her own Especial requirements has ar- rived at the secret of success jai dress and whether her allowance is great or small will be to its limit well gowned. 1Kitchen Work. A careful housekeeper, who for a time \vas compelled to do het Own kitchen work, suggests that Much labor OStOFll will be saved 1f' every iron pot, pan, kettle or, in fact, any utensil used In cooking the food is washed while still bot. It is an easy tiling to do, and the washing of pots and kettles loses some rill of its distasteful aspects. 'Ilio woman - seriously objects to washing and wip- ing her glass and silver, but to under- take the black, greasy and formidable ironware of the kitchen takes consider- able nerve and a good deal of common sense. If a range is carefully wipe with brown paper after cooking areas food ile , can be ]{e h kept bright with it 1 t g difficulty.

WINOIIAI'1 � September 29 and 30, 1904 Wall Decorations. There are people who assert that it is inartistic to hang plates, cups, saucers, etc., on walls, since no one can get up there on stilts or otherwise to eat off or drink out of them, But I heartily wish that these persons would, on the con- trary, advocate the hanging up on walls of all pieces of rare or costly china. They would then be safely out of the way. Some acquaintances of ours have,beautiful little cups and sau- cers, exquisite vases and costly antique glass set out on small tables all over their drawing rooms. In these days of shaded lamps it is task enough to grope for bne's hostess without having added all the dangers of explorations in a risky country. Why not place all these beautiful things on chimney pieces, brackets, ornamental shelves, in cabi- nets, over doors and on etageres?— London Truth. An Attre..ctis•e Kitchen. If the home maker cares to take the trouble to make it so the kitchen may be as attractive, from the point of view of beauty alwl color harmony, as the library, reception or dining room. Simply take care to match the t e color of the wall and floor covering and the woodwork and select pots and pans of one material and tint. If the prevail- ing colors of wall paint, linoleum and woceiwork are brown and white, se- lect brown and white agateware for saucepans, kettles, jars and holders of various•or f s s and have thet• po � and pans of gleaming copper. Equally good effects may be obtained with blue and white agate or earthen ware or gray and white, the main object being to secure uniformity of color and not the hodgepodge collection of utensils that is so often found in the kitchen. Coiffures That Snit the Face. Consider the countenances of your friends and you will find that the wo- man who is at her best with her hair done low on the back of her neck is the woman with the sensitive, spirit- ually refined face. It is the artistic coiffure, and demands an expression signifying something more than flesh and blood beauty. The low coiffure with a rose tucked in it harmonizes only with a face wherein there is a sentimental note. The sentiment type looks pretty with its hair either way; the spirituelle type does better to con- form to the artistic low coiffure, while the unsentimental, unspirituelle type makes a mistake when it robs itself of the smartness and dignity of the high coiffure. Man and II3s money. Don't ask for money; make him offer it. You know the way. If you do not, you should. Something in man's con- stitutional makeup rebels when he is asked to part with his money. Men shirk the things that are expected of them, but they will give freely of time, money and labor when accredited with not only the thing done, but the im- pulse that prompts it. Men are gener- ous enough, but they like large por- tions of glory.—Exchange. ;Cheese balls. . For cheese balls beat the white of two eggs very stiff and whip into them a generous half cup of grated cheese i and a dash of cayenne. Mix lightly and quickly and with floured hands mold into balls about half as large as a large egg. Drop into deep boiling fat and cook for five minutes. Drain in a hot colander, then lay for a min- ute on tissue paper to rid them of grease and serve very hot. Flannelette. Ordinarily flannelette catches fire so easily ,as to render it very dangerous as a garment when its wearer is exposed to fiances in any way. To remove this quality it is wise to rinse flannelette in one ounce of alum or sal ammoniac dissolved in water after the article has been washed. Grease on Matting. Benzine and French chalk will re- move ., grease steins from matting. Serape thechalk freely overer the spot and then sprinkle enough benzine over It to moisten it. When the benzine has evaporated brush off the Chalk and the spot will have disappeared. In making clown pillows go over the wrong side of the case with an iron rubbed well with beeswax each time it Is applied to the cloth to prevent the down working through. Green things when first brought faun market should be washed thoroughly, drained and spread out on a shelf to keep fresh.
