They Are in tree on a Miehignn street Railway and Are Quite Popular. The latest use; for aiu ninunt is for street ear tickets, and .it' must he con- ceded that the metal is !singularly adapt- ed for the purpor•e. A Michigan street railway has j'ist made` its drat isue of these light and ornamental tokens, which are about the - size of a silver quarter -dollar. One is krpund, for ordi- na fare; the other octagonal, for child - re i The adult's ticket 'is sold by the railroad company to the public at the rape of six for a quarter, and the child's ticket at the rate of ten for a quarter. The company does not allow its em- ployes, either conductors or motormen, to sell tickets to the public, but disposes of them in,$10 lots to theiseveral store- keepers, who handle them exclusively. This method of distributilig the tickets overcomes to a ceytain extent the diffi- culties which have always attended the sale of tickets by employes in connec- tion with the receipt of cash fares. The aluminum ticket has also the great advantage of requiring no; cancellation. A soon as the ti k s turned in by c et are y the public to the railroad company they are done up in packages and sold again. —St. Louis Globe -Democrat. Shade for Stook. Stock of all kinds are not, unlike mane •kind in some respects,and seek the shade whenever possible during the extreme heat of summer. To gratifythis desire, shade should be providewherever practicable, and the cheapest manner of doing this is through the medium of shade trees. One or two should be set out in each pasture, and (be protected by a, fent until thoroughly established. If the field be tilled, set the trees along the south line, selecting' those of rapid growth and spreading branches. If they be fruit trees, they should be trimmed to a height of at least seven feet, and theei}} allowed to branch out. While the treat are growing, it would be simply humane to provide a temporary shelter of some kind, such as setting a few posts, and covering with poles upon which are thrown branches of evergreens, or evda limbs of oak or other trees in full leaf. This will afford a useful shelter, and if located upon a knoll or other naturally poor portion of the field, it will thor- oughly enrich the soil. `:. By changing its position yearly, various portions of the field will be benefited. All this takes but a little time, and can be done when other work is not pressing. By boarding up, late in the summer, the side from which the prevailing winds blow, a fair protection from the chilling blasts wilt be obtained; and the stock will return you the cost.

Britain and Germany. But, although there is no longer any danger of war from the j foolish procla- mation of an unlawful blockade, the ?moral consequencesof the incident will be lasting and momentous. The eager - nese of the French government, which, in this respect. did but reflect the temper of the French people to do England an ill turn, has been unmistakably revealed, and a reciprocal feeling of distrust and animosity has been kindled -in the Eng- lish hand,the theo i h mind. On la promptness with which t'rermany came forward to combine with England in curbing French insult 'and aggression, has done more than any other event which has occurred in 80 years to revive the friendliness of those epochs when the victories of Frederick the Great foreshadowed the British conquest of ' i Canada,Canada, and when Engliel men and Prussians fought aide by side at Water- loo.

Cold air be- ing hea %vier to the square hush than warm air, the coke air, when c• ,ening in contact with it warm current fc ,ni the south, always predominates, forcing the warm air into the upper currents. The cause of cyclones is the meeting of a headwind from the north with a "headwind from the south. Thi meet like two vast areatus of hien. The pre -s- - sure at the point of tiietrtfng is so great that the air, by compression, becomes heavier to the square inch than wood or the human body, hence either one wiil float in the s:one manner that wood will float iii water—it floats he cause it is lighter to the square inch than water. Place water m an ordinary wash bowl and remove the plug and it will be observed that in passing out the water forms a circular reaction. Air being a liquid does the same in passing either upwards or downwards; hence the funnelshaped spout of the cyclone center. When two immense bodies of air coming from opposite directions meet, the only. egress is upwards and sideways, and in' passing upwards it forms the funnel the same as water sassing out of a washbowl downwards. The theory that a cyclone forms a vacuum t to is absurd. Withdraw air from a glass jar with an air pump, and a feather within the vacuum formed will drop with the same velocity as lead, or, on the other hand, you can compress air until it is heavier to the square inch than wood, in which case wood•will float in the air. The lifting power of acycl;one is caused (1) by the compression + or density of the air, and (2) by its velocity. Combining the power of density with that of velocity, which occurs at the cen ter or funnel, no power can resist it. The feeling of suffocation or difficulty in breathing when near the track of a cyclone is caused from the oompression of air. -,--Minneapolis Tribune. llas on hand a large number of Boots and Shoes of hie own make, best material and iParranted to _give Satisfaction. you want your feet kept dry come and get ai pair o. our boots, which will be sold CHEAP FOR CASH.

SALE NOTES discounted, or taken for collection Good Cooks and Happiness. The cook of the future will come in the morning and leave again in the even- ing when her work is done, to secure greater independence than she can have when living under her employer's roof ; or even if central kitchens for the cook- ing of dinners were` to be established generally (such institutions could only supply the needs of a certain number of people in towns), cooks will always be wanted ; there will always be abundant employment for capable persons. One of the chief causes of friction between mis- tress and maid would be removed. The cook would no longer work in the dark, harassed by the want of knowledge she has had no 'means of obtaining, and which she is at present so unjustly blamed for not possessing. A good cook is a treasure a mistress rarely wishes to offend. How often does one hear a woman say something like the following, after recounting faults of a most serious character on the part of her cook: "Still, I cannot afford to part with her, for she is a far better cook than I can get elsewhere. She satisfies my husband better than any we have had ; and you know how difficult he is to please. There is no peace if his dinner does not please him." - w A great cause of friction beteen hus- band and wife would also be removed. "If a woman is at the mercy of the cook, and she is not good," as a writer 1 have already quoted has remarked, '`her table i will soon become intolerable. Bad soup, , soft and flabby fish, meat burnt outside and raw within. The husband will soon fly from the Barinecide feast, and take refuge in his club, where he will not only find food he can digest, but at the same time fly from the domestic discord that usually accompanies ill -cooked visuals at home." Bad cookery may seem a siiiaIl thing in comparison with other evils, but the results are as dire as those. that followed the proverbial lost nail in the horse's shoe—wasted incomes, impaired health, drinking habits, family discord. .

He led the way to an instru- ment at the rear of the store, on which was a ne ~•paper. On the paper had been placed a bunch of sweet peas. At least 1000 dead flies were lying on the paper in the immediate vicinity or in the bunch of flowers. "I threw . these here by chance," he continued, "and in about ten minutes I happened to notice that every fly that alighted on the flowers died in a very short time." Even as he spoke a number of the insects which had stopped to suck the deadly sweet had toppled over dead. They alighted with their usual buzz, stopped momentarily, quivered in their legs, flap- ped their wings weaklyseveral tinges and then gave up the ghost.—Louisville Courier -Journal. Step Ladder.

Little Maid Content. Once there was a little maiden, who was very sweet and fair, Who had eyes like purple pansies, and long, sunny, flowing hair ; And 'twos said thiough all the country she was loved beyond compare. Yet she had no wealth or dower ; just a lovely, smil- ing face, Just a kindly, gentle nature,and a c aiden's winsome grace ; But at times she longed for jewels, tb wear silk and costly lane. And it chanced she lay a -sleeping in a garden once in June, And the sunlight kissed her tresses, and the breezes sang a tune, And the roses were half jealous all the summer afternoon. And she dreamed of wondrous treasures, of a castle by the sea, Of a prince who oame to claim her, and whose praise seemed melody, Like the music of the waters flowing on delight- fully. And she longed for time to pass her like a sudden spirit flown, From her youth to vanish quickly, and to be a wo- man grown, That the prince might kneel before her, and might claim her for his own. And in part her wleh was answered, for there came to her one day, One who offered wealth and station, and indisput- able sway ; Tho' she had no love to give him, yet she did not turn away. But I've heard a ead eyed woman stands alone at elm of day, And her heart is grieved and troubled, let men praise her as they may, For her happiness has left her—taken wings and flown away ! And I think, 0 friends, 'twere better, in this journey here of ours, Not to dream of power and riches, nor of stately' domes and towers, But to live in sweet oontentntent, like the birds and flowers.

The Czar of Russia shows undoubted sagacity in adopting the best physical means to hold together his vast empire. He has pushed thin transcaspian military railway southeastward until it has almost reached the frontiers of British India and China, the two Powers most likely to dispute with him the acquisition of further dominion in Central Asia. - Hav- ing thus.assured the safety of the Rus- sian position in the southeast, he has undertaken a more stupendous work its beginning the construction of an un- broken line of railway to connect European Russia with a port on the Pacific Ocean. The whole length of the Asiatic or main Siberian line is 4800 miles. The estimated cost is $200,000,000. The work, which is now .progressing from both enols towards the center. is to he completed in about ten years. There will - then be a stretch of railway, all located upon Russian territory. about 6000 miles in length, holding European' Russia and Asiatic Russia firmly to- gether with a continuous band of steer. Until the proposed railway running north and south to connect the two Americas shall have been built there will be rival thnothingis on earth to tta g reat stretch of eastern and western railway across the Russian Empire.—Omaha Bee.

Cover the frame last with a band of cretonne, the upper edge of which is turned under and tacked to the frame close to the top of the stand. Cut the lower edge to fit over the legs and draw it over the edge of and inside the frame, tacking it firmly there.
