Journals of the large cities).
I knew Charles Baekerton Salt-maker
fairly Intimately. He was a yountf man,
mlld-eycd, fair-haired, frond-tempered,
and before ho went on the stuff of
Home Happiness conscientious. He
was fond of deserililnir himself as a
Rood all-round journalist. I was one
of the people who saw him last before
his unfortunate and mysterious tlis
appearanee; ami, us far as anyone can
know why he disappeared, I know it.
I think the trouble really besaii when
Home Happiness, an exeellent maga
zine, supplied a loiiK-folt want. The
Very lirst number supplied it fully;
after that first numlu r hardly anybody
Seemed to want any more. The street::
of London were tilled with crowds of
people who were tltiin.tr without the
last issue of Home Happiness, and not
minding it. 'Wherever the KukIIsIi
lanjiiiaKe or any other lani;uuKo was
spoken, there were earnest men anil
Women who had never heard of the
magazine, and did nut even want to
hear of it. And yet the editor was a
man of talent. When hardly anybody
bought his second number, he sent
round a paragraph to the other papers
to the effect that their esteemed con
temporary. Home Happiness, was rap
Idly securing; the first place anions
weekly journals of the domestic class.
It is true that the other papers never
inserted that parasraph, not consider
ing it to lie altogether funny enouirli,
but still the tiling showed enterprise.
Then anain, when the third number
did not sell quite so well as the second,
he advertised Home Happiness at all of
the railroad station- as "A success un
precedented in the history of journal
Ism!" Some people called this also en
terprise, and some called it something;
shorter. And finally the editor did a
very clever thins when he secured, a;
a moderate salary, the services of
ChaHea I'.aekerton Salemaker. Sale
maker loved work; he worked willing
ly, and he was at one time, at any
rate a conscientious man.
The paper started it:i first number
with great profusion. In return for Ids
salary, Salemaker was asked to write
only one column a week, a column en
titled "Politics fur Papa." I know that
he was uneasy about this, thinking and
saying that he was afraid he was not
really duins enough for the money he
received. However, he did the column
well. Any liberal or any conservative
who read it would have found nothing
with which it was possible to disagree.
Salemaker said it was written from an
independent standpoint. Subsequently
expenses were cut down; journalists
fell off the staff of that paper like
leaves before the blast, and their work
was assigned to Salemaker without in
crease of salary.
When the art critic went It was Sale
maker who was appointed to write that
delightful column, "Through the Pic
ture Galleries." "And this," he said to
me, "gives me great pleasure, for I
have never had U practically recognized
Salemaker I.ovcd Work.
that I know something about art." I
could understand that, und told him so.
I do not think he was quite so pleased
when he was given a third column to
do every week, because the third col
umn was called "Notes for the Nur
sery." "However," he said, "one can
always read up a subject." He bought
two second-hand medical works on the
treatment of children and quoted them
alternately. The two medical works
Were diametrically opposed to each
other on sevcrnl Important points, nnd
In consequence there was a little
trouble. He also Invented a new game
for Infants, to ho played with wax
matches, and the editor got a furious
post-card saying that If the author of
"Notes for the. Nursery" had the feed
ings of a mother, she would never have
advocated a game which must lead to
phosphorous poisoning and Incedlar
Ism in the end. Salemaker said that he
would be more careful In future, and
the editor to show that he still had
.confidence in him gave hlin two more
columns to write every week.
I met him in the street a fortnight
afterwards, and he was not looking
quito as enthusiastic as usual. "Well,"
1 said, "how's the paper, and have you
got the feelings of a mother yet?"
"The paper Is beginning to turn the
corner," he said. "It'll do very well In
time. Of course, there Is none of the
Billy extravagance that there was at
first. The staff has been very much re
duced." "Then who dors the work?"
''Well, I write eight columns for
every number myself now, and the edi
tor does -most of the rest. Of course.
It's no hardship to me; a Kobd all-round
Journalist does not want to be tied
down to one subject, licstdes, the pa
per is practically turning the corner
now."
I advised him not to overwork hlm
flelf, and lie hurried away to the ofllce:
I thought he. seemed paler and thinner
than he used to bo.
That night, after dinner, I was nlone
In my chambers,' when suddenly Sale
maker arrived,
"It's a terrible business!" he ex
claimed, as he enme In at the door. He
did not look himself. He seemed In
dignant and distraught. Ho was wear
ing his hat very much on the back of
his head. I gently removed his hat,
made him sit down, gave him some
thing to smoke, and asked him what
was the matter.

It's a perfectly terrible business.
I've Just come from the olllce. I want
ed to consult you," he said, rather inco
herently. "I see," I said. ''The success un
precedented in the history of journal
Ism la going to stop going to put up
its poor, unhappy shutters."
"Nothing of the kind. The paper Is
now, as a matter of fact, dellnitely
turning the corner."
"Do you know," I asked, "that you've
already told me that twice today?"
ile sighed.
"Have IV" be said drearily. "Very
likely. I've got Into the habit of say
ing It whenever 1 hear the paper men
tioned. Let ine tell you what's hap
pened. "We've got i column In the
paper called 'The Height of Fashion,'
a column for women, you understand."
"Quite so."
"Well, It used to be written by a lady
Journalist, a Jliss Catling. It was one
of the most popular features of the pa
per. Now the editor, on the plea of
economy, lias turned her off, or, rather,
asked her to write gratuitously. Sh.i
says she wont' work for nothing, and
she doesn't care, .She says she shall go
and be a new woman, and write an Im
proper novel. You can see she's cut up
about it."
"Well," I said, "I'm sure your sym
pathy with her does you credit, and If
the editor discontinues the most popu
lar feature, it may rcatid the progress
of the paper, but after all"
"Stop!" he said, irritably, 'that Isn't
it at all. 'The Height of Fashion' is to
come out every week as usual, but the
scandalous the absurd 1 may say the

unspeakable thing about it Is that I've
got to write it." He laughed bitterly.
"I, Charles I'ackcrtou Salemaker mol
qui vous park have got o write a
fashion article fur women. Think of it!
Picture it!"
"Why don't you protest?"
"Protect? What else do you think
I've been doing at the office except pro
testing? Heaven knows I don't mind
work. I give them plenty fur their
money. 1 write -the polities, the art
naul tlie nursery notes, and other things
besides, an.l I've never complained. I
told you that I did tight columns a
week. That was a lie. I wrote
eleven th"ii, and I have just had two
more put onto me. 'The Height of
Fashion' makes the -thirteenth. I lied
to you because 1 was ashamed to say
how much 1 did. I h.id high princi
ples once, but Home Happiness' has
about don" for them. You see, pub
lishers won't send us hooks for review
say thi y've never heard of us. Thea
ter managers won't semi us tickets.
What's the consequence? I review
books I've never read, and criticise
plays I've never seen; I always notice
them favorably, and so I've never been
found out. Last night I wrote an
obituary of a man who isn't dead, and
some 'Genuine Experiences of a De
tective,' which I never was. Hut that
was honesty Itself compared wi-th what
the editor wants now. Besides," he
added, more quietly and reflectively,
"it will be n very difficult thing to
write that article without being bowled
out."
I said that the subject was probably
much easier than was generally sup
posed. I had known some girls who
appeared to be singularly. Impressively
F-tupid, and yet they thoroughly under
stood fashions.
"Ah, yes," he said; "It Is not so much
a question of brains as a question of In
stinct. All women have the instinct.
You think the subject easy? I'll guar
antee you don't even understand the
elements of It, the mere question of
structure, letting alone ornamentation.
Here's a thing which may happen nny
day, and I've seen it myself. The top
half of a woman's dress has two rows
of buttons and button holes; one row Is
genuine, practical and works; the cither
row Is pure Take,' Just put on out of
exuberance, fun you tell me which Is
which? No, you can't, nnd I can't, but
a girl of twelve could without looking.
Then there are dresses which can never
be put on at nil at least, one would
say so if there wasn't a Woman inside
them. How did the woman get there?
The only possible explanation is that
she was melted down, poured in through
the collar nnd allowed to set. I say
that it is the only possible explanation,
but I am perfectly well aware that it Is
not the right one. And you can't tell
me the right one. I don't know and
can't find out the bare elements of the
subject."
"Then why didn't you tell the editor
so?"
"I did," said Salemaker, pacing ex
citedly up and down the room. "He's
a married man, find has got two sisters
Into the bargain to my certain knowl
edge. Ho lives In the atmosphere of It.
He would only have to leave the women
In a room tog-ether, nnd nature would
do the rest. They would begin to talk
clothes, and he could have his clerk
nt the keyhole to take It all down In
shorthand. That would give him some
thing to go upon. As for me, I have
not got one living female relation.
However, ho wouldn't bear of doing It

WHERE TO MAKE MONEY.
Tho til-cut Advantages of tho l-:ost Coast
of 1 lorldn.
"I am tired of working hard for a
living," said a western Ohio farmer
the other day to a reporter of one of
the leading newspapers of Cincinnati.
"I can manage to keep ahead of the
world, but it is a constant ilght; the
crops are uncertain, the summer days
are hot, the winters long and cold and
the doctors' bills heavy so I'm going
to pull up stakes and try my luck in
Florida."
The reporter remonstrated with him:
"It's a beautiful country down there,"
he said, "but it strikes me thtut It was
made for only rich folks to live in. I
was down there four winters ago for
a few days and was delighted with
Jacksonville and St. Augustine; but it
didn't strike me "that Florida was any
sort of a place for a poor man to make
a living In."
"That's all because you don't know
about it," replied the farmer; "I've been
Informing myself about Florida for the
past six months; I have written there
for reliable information and gmt It. See
here, (and the Ohio farmer pulled a lot
of pamphlets, maps and letters from
his pocket), the Florida east coast Is the
country for me," he added, "and these
letters, etc., prove it."
They spoke of -the Jacksonville, St.
Augustine and Indian Hlver railway,
stretching out over 3!i0 miles of fertile
country, dotted here and there with
cities and towns, all having a solid
business and beautiful winter tourist
hotels. This railroad runs from Jack
sonville to St. Augustine, thence to
Palatka, thence southeastward to Or
niond, and after 'that it skirts the coast
southward to Lake Worth, often paral
leling the ocean for many miles In suc
cession and peiiotratlng the center of
the famous Indian river country.
Tlie lands through which this rail
road Is built are wonderfully fertile.
Except in the region just south of St.
Augustine where praotically the whole
peninsula between the Atlantic and the
St. Johns river Is capable of the highest
cultivation the arable land extends
back, from the ocean only a few miles
from four to ten or fifteen; but the va
riety of its products and the profit
with which they may be raised and
marketed are attracting people there
from many quarters of the globe.
In and around Moultrie not far
south of St. Augustine a colony of
western New York people has thou
sands of acres in grapes, the White
Niagara predominating. The fruit Is
ready for shipment in June and early
July, and the yield is frequently from
three to five tons per acre. At the out
set the grapes bring from 30 to 40 cents
per pound in the northern and western
wholesale markets, and for the season
the price will average about 1.1 cents
yield of from $:m)0 to $1,500 per acre.
Itice culture, too, is very profitable or,
the low lands lying on either side of tlie
Jacksonville ,St. Augustine and Indian
Hlver railway, in St. Johns and Vo
lusia counties.
There is hardly a mile of the country
from Jacksonville to Lake Worth in
which oranges cannot be grown profit
ably, and In the southernmost region the
lemon flourishes, yields abundantly and
brings high prices anywhere. The In
dian river oranges are acknowledged
to lie the best In the world, and hun
dreds of men are getting rich in the
cultivation of groves in that portion of
the state.
From Titusvllle south Is the home of
the pineapple, a fruit which is easy of
cultivation and which yields a crop
eighteen months after its 'idantinL'.
Ankona, Jensen and Kden have some
of the most extensive and the finest
pineapple plantations In the world. Ac
cording to the reports of tourists who
have traveled all over the Island of
Cuba, the best plantations of "pines"
there are not to be compared with those
of tlie east coast of VFlorlda. The
profits are great, and It Is now an even
race between the orange growers and
the pineapple planters there to prove
which can get rich the faster.
"Trucking" Is another profitable In
dustry prosecuted In this favored sec
tion, the fast freight trains of vcstl
bulcd cars run by the Jacksonville, St.
Augustine and Indian Klver railway
carrying tens of thousands of tons
northward every winter and spring.
The freight charges are low, consider
ing the excellent service, and It Is gen
erally understood that all the people
along the line of H. M. Flagler's rail
way are considered his "partners;" that
Is, they work together, the planters
and growers and truckers making the
crops and the railroad company trans
porting them to market all on a fair
division of the profits.
Kananas, limes, guavas, sugar cane,
persimmons, pomegranates, watermel
ons, sugar apples, and a great varitty
of other tropical fruits are also suc
cessfully cultivated on the Fast coast
and are making the husbandmen Inde
pendent. The waters of the Fast Coast teem
with fish and oysters, nnd the railroad
Is rapidly building up a market for
them In Jacksonville, Savannah, At
lanta, Augusta and other points farther
north.
As the people prosper the towns are
rapidly built up and Improved, and
In even many of the smaller ones banks
have been established for carrying on
the business. Melbourne nnd Palm
Iteacb both have line institutions of this
sort.
"The Fai t Coast Is the country for
me," repeated the Ohio farmer, as In
folded up bis papers nnd carefully re
placed them In bis pocket. "I can get
rich In six or seven years down there,
while up here I shall be ready to die
by the lime I have scraped together
enough to keep me comfortubly without
work." ,
The Cincinnati newspaper reporter
went off as If he bad learned something.

It is claimed that the new method of
sterilizing milk for the use of young
children Is u perfect preventive of lis
circulating disease. The milk is placed
In a clean bottle, which Is put Inside
any convenient metal vessel, and Into
which cold water is poured until it
reaches the level of the .milk In the
bottle, the mouth of the latter to Le
closed w'.lh a plug of clean white cot
ton, an.l, if the bott'u containing the
milk be raised about half an inch from
the bottom of the outer vessel by some
simple means, this facilitates tlie circu
lation of the hot water round the bot
tle. The outer vessel Is then placed on
a stove and slowly heated until the
temperature of tlie water reaches 1 r,5
degrees F. Tlie vessel Is now taken
from the lire and covered over closely
with a piece of woollen cloth, to re
main covered for half an hour, at the
expiration of which time the bottle
Is taken out and put In a cool place. The
milk Is fit for life at any time within
twenty-four hours; the cotton, however,
Is not removed, as It prevents the en
trance of dust or germs of any kind,
I)r. Cyrus Edsun's Idea of how one
should act when threatened with pneu
monia Is as follows; "When a severe
or sudden chill has been contracted the
main thing is to act quickly, and many
a. serious illness can be averted and
valuable life saved by a little Intelli
gence coupled with promptitude. If
possible, send for a doctor Immediately,
and meanwhile take ten grains of
quinine and live drops of spirits of
camphor in a little water or on a lump
of sugar. 'These doses are for an adult.
Then soak the feet In hot water and
jump into bed. Simple as these reme
dies are they have nipped In the bud
many prospective enses of pneumonia.
While soaking the feet the body should
be warmly wrapped in a blanket, which
should be kept on until some time after
the pel-son has entered the bed in order
that free perspiration be continued and
not checked. A good thing to prevent
'colds' is to wear wool next to the skin.
When this Is .not possible, on account-of
the Irritation sometimes caused, a mix
ture of wool and silk will generally be
found satisfactory. I would not recom
mend cotton in any form for under
wear, as it is frequently the cause of a
dangerous cold by becoming wet and
keeping the temperature of the skin be
low the normal. Care should be taken
that the feet do not get wet. or, If so,
that proper measures are taken to dry
them and a change of hose made."
Dr. Ludwig Jankau, the eminent phy
sician of -Munich, does not belong to
the Anti-Tobacco society. He .main
tains that tobacco is not only permissi
ble, but actually of value In the case
of the sick and convalescent, under
certain conditions. He recommends It
for putlents after most surgical opera
tions, should they desire the weed, and
urges that in organic disease of the
heart the use of mild tobacco should
not be discouraged In respect to patients
who have been long accustomed to it.
lie considers that in the early stages
of phthisis smoking Is of positive benefit
owing to ts unquestioned bactericidal
power. As a disinfectant generally the
Munich doctor has the highest esteem
for tobacco; and as regards subjects
of nervous diseases he enjoins that dis
cretion should be exercised in the mod
eration of the use of the fragrant leaf
rather than In the absolute forbidding
of It. Altogether, he makes out a strong
case for tobacco.
A foreign medical journal Is authority
for the statement that a tablespoonful
of glycerine in hot milk or cream will
nt once relieve the most violent attack
of coughing. This Is a simple, easily
obtained and harmless remedy, and If
It keeps good Its promise will prove
to be of great value. Hqually simple
nnd quite as effective Is the use of
glycerine spray through an atomizer.
This Is applied directly to the Intlnmed
or Irritated surfaces, and gives almost
Instant relief. In nttacks of influenza,
colds In the head, sore throat. and like
troubles, glycerine mixed with three
times Its bulk of water, boiled and
cooled, is an Invaluable remedy.

more satisfactory results. Begin slowly,
gradually Increasing the speed us the eggs
become light; this rule holds good whether
a fork, knife or putent egg-beater is used,
if tho eggs have a tendency to become
snowy, that Is, If they separate Into flakes
and will not stick to the bow l, add a drop
