AN ANESTHETIC SAFE.
Qaeer Product of an Inventor of the
Olden Timen.
"Iran across a queer old relic in my
line of business recently," said a safe
and lock expert who is in the city. "I
was prowling around a machine shop in
a town in lowa, trying to find a fitting
that I needed, when I happened to notice
a sheet iron box which seemed to have
once been entirely covered with glass
tubes attached to the surface by cement.
All of the tubes were broken, and most
of them were missing, but the general ar
rangement could lie easily traced, and the
contrivance impressed me at once with a
sense of familiarity. Presently I remem
bered about it. It was all that was left
of the one time famous 'anaesthetic safe.'
an invention which ought to have been
sponsored by a society for the prevention
of cruelty to burglars. The idea of the
thing was that any cutting or drilling
through the outer casing should release
certain chemicals which would promptly
stupefy everybody in range of their
fumes. In the morning the owner would
find his valuables intact and could simply
call a dray and pack off the unconscious
burglars to jail.
"With such a device it was unnecessa
ry to have massive steel walls, and the
model which I chanced to resurrect was
made of one-eighth inch sheet iron. The
inner box was entirely surrounded with
glass tubes about the diameter of a lead
pencil and filled alternately with two
chemicals which were supposed to pro
duce stupefying gas when they came into
contact. There was n thin outside cas
iug, and the theory was that any effort
to break in would necessarily fracture
two or more of the fragile glasses. It
seemed incredible, but several prominent
capitalists became greatly interested in
the scheme aud stood ready to back it
with unlimited means until actual tests
finally convinced them of its grotesque
impracticability. How the model ever
drifted to the lowa machine shop I
couldn't find out. It had been there for
years and was probably part of the plun
der of some forgotten junk sale.
"The only other safe I know of fit to
rank with the 'ann-sthetic' as a freak
was one designed by an inventor in
Washington. It was circular iti shape,
with a pivot at the bottom, and at night
time the plan was to connect it with an
engine belt and spin it like a top. The
inventor was very much in earnest and
made a large working model. lie admit
ted modestly that the safe could only b<
used 'where steam power was available.'

asked. My frieud had
been showing me
all over her house.
"The kitchen? Oh,
well, it's Just like all
other kit-chens-un
interesting," she answered. And that
is where she made a great mistake.
The kitchen should not be uninterest
ing. It is not so to the good house
keeper. She takes more pride in its
perfect appointments than she does in
those of any other room in the house.
Two results are inevitable—one. well
cooked meals; the other, a contented
servant, and, as a contented servant
stays years in the same family, this is
a result worth striving for. No serv
ant likes to work in a place where
nothing is convenient. " 'Deed I's
done hustle from mawning till night,
and dis ole place, hit jes' won't stay
fixed!" my old colored servant com
plained after we had moved into our
new house. I was astonished because
the new kitchen is much lurger than
the old. Upon investigating, however,
I found that 110 definite place had been
provided for anything and that the
cupboard and chest of drawers had
been placed where they were most in
convenient to reach.
I first turned my attention to the
sink. The space under it bad been util
ized for a closet, which was filled with
a motley collection of old rags, blacking
bottles, etc. I had the entire wooden
structure torn away, leaving an open
space where the sunlight and air could
penetrate freely. The pipes were then
IN A CITY HOME,
painted the same color as the walls—
a serviceable and cool shade of grayish
green. Next I sent for a carpenter, and
he built four cupboards. One he placed
over the sink. Its shelves held amrfio
nia, soap, washing soda, rubbing cloths,
etc. The next two were over the stove.
One contained pepper, salt, sugar,
herbs, soup flavorings, etc., ahd tin
other the smaller utensils used in the
actual cooking, such as basting for''
and spoon, skewers and strainers. Th
fourth cupboard held the finer cookinfe
dishes the porcelain ware, for in
stance. Of course the commoner kitch
en pots and pans found room in the
lower half of the general closet, and
the kitchen china, which was of the
heavy blue and white kind, was placed
In tho upper half of the original cup
board, which had beeu fitted with a
glass door. The lower half held the
kitchen linen.
Aa it happened, the sink was placed
right In the corner next to the pantry.
I had a small window made in the par
tition so that the maid could pass the
dishes through as soon us they were
washed. This saves her many weary
steps. A draining board was also fit
ted between the sink and this window.
The pantry had been generously treat
ed In the matter of closets, so there
was little which could be Improved.
However, I placed there a duplicate of
many of the commoner baking utensils,
which was again a saving of time and
steps. These little things count greatly
In the long end. Right under the kitch
en window, where the sun fell upon it,
I placed a rack for wet cloths. Fresh
air and sunshine are the two best dis
infectants. It is a rule in my kitchen
thai the sink cloths shall never be al
lowed to hang over the faucets or to
dry In dark corners.
In conclusion I want to say that my
kitchen Is considered a Joy to the eye
as well as a model of convenience.
The sunlight streams through the blue
and white sash curtains and dances
over the spotless hard wood floor. A
pot of red geraniums lends color to the
smaller window, and a plump white
cat dozes comfortably on the little blue
and white rng in front of the table. In
one corner stands a comfortable wicker
rocker, where Debby can rest while she
watches her baking.
Why shouldn't we consider the com
fort of our servants when they work
hard for us all day long?

ed. So they may, but only in excep- ,
tiunal instances and under extraor

It is true that beans may be grown
ou certain soils that are low in fertility
EFFECT OF FEKTILIZEK ON BEANS,
with a limited degree of success. But
the yield and the profitable returns will
always be found limited by the amount
of readily available plant food obtain
able by the feeding plant. To illus
trate the food requirements of the beau
plant, an Ohio Farmer correspondent
gives results of experiments In grow
ing navy or pea beans in a clay field
so poor that even the Canada thistles
in it were puny and undersized.
Group No. 1 represents the product
harvested and thrashed from a certain
measured length of row on a plot
manured complete commercial
fertilizer said to contain in a high
grade form the three principal ele
ments of fertility in the following pro
portions: Nitrogen, in sulphate of am
monia and organic forms, three-fourths
to 1% per cent; phosphoric acid, avail
able in the form of dissolved bone, 5
to G per cent, and potash, actual,
to 2 per cent. It was applied at the
rate of 500 pounds per acre at the time
of drilling with the pea and bean at
tachment on the potato planter direct
ly along the row of seed, being mixed
with the soil by an attachment on the
machine. This plot also had an appli
cation, given at three different times
during the season, of nitrate of soda
at the rate of 300 pounds per acre, the
first dressing being made after the
beans were well up.and growing at the
rate of 100 pounds per acre.
Group No. 2 represents the product
from a row on a plot receiving the ap
plication of commercial fertilizer alone,
together with the addition of humus
In the form of leaf and straw mold.
Group No. 3 is the product from an
exactly equal length of row on a plot
immediately adjoining the first two
that had received no fertilizer, manure
or added huuius of any kind.
The soil for beans should be light,
loose, loamy or "fluffy" naturally or
made so by humus artificially supplied
to produce such conditions. Any mark
ed acidity of the soil should be remov
ed by the application of lime.
The field should have sufficient drain
age to prevent water from remaining
in a' j considerable quantity on the
"urface of the ground after heavy
rains.
NO JUNE DROP.
The Cultivator and Not the Plow
laed In a New Jersey Orchard.
Many farmers leave their orchards
until all the other spring work, such as
sowing oats and planting corn, is fin
ished. Then about the Ist of June,
when a good sod has formed, they go
in and rip up and ridge up the soil
with the plow. This is, I believe, a
radically wrong method, for, in addi
tion to leaving unsatisfactory surface
conditions (alternate ridges and fur
rows), the fibrous roots that are thrown
out for the sustenance of the fruit are
cut off, and the "Juue drop" and the
forced fruit of July almost invariably
follow. During the last five years on
3,000 trees I have had no June drop
and not a basket of forced fruit, and 1
have not had a plow lu my orchard in
that time, but have used a cultivator
exclusively.
Some 12 years ago I contrived n cul
tivator, having in view two principal
objects—to relieve the team from the
annoyance of being driven close to the
trees and to save time by rapid work.
As the cultivator does not need to run
more than two or three inches deep,
the roots of the trees are but slightly
disturbed, the surface remains level,
less tendency to wash Is noticed, the
soil is kept free from weeds, and the
trees show a vigorous and healthy
growth.
All this Is not secured by one culti
vation. We begin as early In the
spring as the ground and weather will
permit, and by the middle of July we
have gone through the orciifard seven
©r eight times. After that we do no
more cultivating until the next spring.
1 believe thorough cultivation is abso
lutely essential if you would keep your
trees vigorous and make them long
lived.—S. It. Voorhees.

For some time abortive attempts
have been made to make hand painted
gowns fashionable. And there seems
to be some possibility that the idea
may be taken up this season. It will
certainly be caviare to the general, for
the very good reason that it will be a
mode which can only be indulged In by
those able to pay save In cases of
course where girls are fortunate
enough to possess artistic talent. The
fashion prophets tell us (hat not only
gowns and blouses, but parasols and
stockings—nay, even gloves—are to be
adorned with hand painted sprays. The
effect will doubtless be pretty enough,
and, though of course the fashion is
bound to be an extravagant one, yet
the balance will be adjusted, as it ul
ways is In these matters, since It will

Commenting on the good roads con
vention recently held at New Orleans,
the New York Sun says:
There are no worse roads in the
country than are found in the southern
states. The proof Is furnished by the
department of agriculture, which has
investigated the cost of transportation
ion roads in different parts of the coun
try and makes this estimate: "In the
the northern and eastern states, where
the average wagon haul for farm prod
uce ranges from 5.9 to 0.9 miles, to
haul a certain fixed weight to railroad
or boat costs $1.89; in the prairie states
and the southern states generally,
where the average haul Is 8.8 miles, It
costs $2.72, and in the cotton states
separately, where the haul is 12.6 miles,
the cost is $3.0.1."
In the spring of the year a southern
highway connecting back towns with
WOBKING THE ROAD KOLLKB.
the railroad Is little better than a quag
mire. What does this mean to the
planter, farmer and truck gardener?
"The load," says a report of the de
partment of agriculture, "that one
horse can move on iron rails on a level
road requires a horse and a half on
level asphalt pavement, horses on
the best Belgian block pavement, 7
horses on cobblestones, 20 horses on
ordinary dirt roads and 40 horses on
sand." These figures are not as signifi
cant, of course, for the New York
farmer as for his brethren south and
west, but they are pregnant enough to
make him ponder. They should be dis
played on every signpost in the rural
parts.
General Stone of the United States
roads bureau has compiled some fig
ures bearing on the good roads problem
which are illuminating and even star
tling. He estimates that it costs the
farmers of the country every year the
enormous sum of $940,000,000 to haul
their products to rail and water, a sum
which exceeds the operating expenses
of all the railroad companies. Two
thirds of this sum might be saved, he
believes, by constructing good roads.
This Is a conclusion that must be prov
ed to the satisfaction of the farmers of
each district, which is not an easy un
dertaking, since many of them are BO
poor that present outlay seems to them
of greater moment than prospective
advantage.
A man who is engaged in a struggle
to keep the wolf from the door can
hardly be expected to burden himself
with an increased road tax. Life is
too short and uncertain, he thinks. It
has been pointed out with much force
that the farmer complains loudly about
an increase of a fraction of a cent a
mile by a railroad company, which he
denounces as a plundering monopoly,
but he keeps on in his old imbecile way
of wearing out his horses and wagons
on execrable roads. General Stone tells
him that if he would have the courage
to face the cost of reasonably good
roads the farm property of the country
would appreciate probably $5,000,000,-
000. Here In the north we have seen
the light, but we are not so far ad
vanced in the reform that we can af
ford to disparage the cotton states.
May the New Orleans convention teach
them the kindergarten principles of
good roadmaklng! The more of such
conventions the better.
It Is a fortunate fact in the history
of the good roads movement that It Is
exceedingly Infectious and, when once
started, spreads with great rapidity.
That has been the experience of Mas
sachusetts, New Jersey and Connecti
cut, and it is now pretty safe to expect
that other states will not be exceptions
to the rule. A well made and well
kept thoroughfare demonstrates Its
value so conclusively that there Is no
use in attempting to deny It In the
presence of any one who has seen the
truth. Thus the number of advocates
of road improvement continually multi
piles, and minorities are converted Into
majorities in a manner surprising even
to themselves.
Haral Mall Delivery.
A factor which will now assist the
good roads movement Is the demand
for rural mall delivery. The carriers
want better roads, and the farmers
want the mall delivered promptly, and
the two are causing good roads move
ments wherever there Is a request for
the rural delivery. There are from 300
to 350 routes now established or rec
ommended In lowa and 55 applications
pending at the headquarters of the
western division at Denver; there are
170 applications pending from Nebras
ka, 333 from Kiffisas and 18 from

Not tbe Proper Hoar.
About nine-tenths of the cranks who
are allowed to enter the city of Wash
ington sooner or later make their way
to the treasury department. They seem
to have a spite against the place be
cause there is an immense quantity of
money within the walls of the great
white marble building. Secretary Gage
has become so expert in handling them
that he would make a first rate warden
of an Insane asylum when he lets goof
his place In the cabinet. The other
day one of these cranks secured an
audience with the secretary after tell
ing an impressive story to the clerk in
the outer office.
"Mr. Secretary," he said briskly as
he approached Mr. Gage's desk, "I
won't detain you but a minute. Just
please sign your name to this."
"What Is it?" asked Mr. Gage, reach
ing for the piece of paper which the
crank had taken from his pocket.
"A check for $135,000," answered
the crank.
"The government does not allow me
to sign personal checks during office
hours," replied the secretary. "Come
In after 4 o'clock."
"Thank you, sir," answered the
crank as he reached for his hat. He
did not know that after that hour he
would be compelled to state his busi
ness at the outside door of the treasury
building.
Postmaster Smith May KesHrii.
Postmaster General Smith has given
up the lease of the house he has occu
pied In this city since he entered Presi
dent McKiuley's cabinet three years
ago, and the gossips have it that he in
tends within the year to resign his
portfolio and go back to journalism.
Before the re-election of Mr. McKinley
Mr. Smith expressed a desire to leave
the cabinet, but was prevailed on by
the president to remain. While he has
denied emphatically his Intention to
leave official life immediately, he has
always intimated to friends that he
wished to give up his portfolio just as
soon as the president could find it con
venient to replace him. On the return
of the presidential party Mrs. Smith
will goto a northern resort, and Mr.
Smith has engaged apartments at the
Arlington. Close friends say he will
not lease another residence in Wash
ington, bat will probably live at the
hotel as long as he remains at the head
of the postoffice department.
The Qneation of Maaufactnres.
Washington Is not satisfied with tbe
extent of its manufactures and is agi
tating the public with the expectation
of securing organized effort to attract
to this city men and capital to be em
ployed lu a variety of manufactured
products. The standing of the city In
the census as a manufacturer is not
low, being something like twenty-sev
enth, but this figure is illusive, and the
expectation Is to Induce manufacturers
that will take advantage of the yet un
developed water power of the Potomac,
the convenient coal and Iron fields, the
five trunk lines of railway offering con
ditions not enjoyed by many cities that
have gretfter manufacturing impor
tance. The men who have discussed
the subject are very plainly not satis
fled to see the city Increasing in popu
lation while the proportion of the pop
ulation that derives income from the
government to support the whole num
ber is constantly Increasing.

TABLE £TIQUETT£.
Hon to Eat According to the Evlff
of Good Breeding.
I)o not leave your spoon in your tea
cup. Crack the top off your egg in
stead of peeling it. t
If you have bacon or fish, have a sep-;
arate plute for your bread or toast and
butter, but not when only having boiled
eggs, which require very careful eating,
by the bye, as nothing looks so nnsty
as yolk of egg spilled all over the plate
and egg cup.
Do not sip your tea or coffeo with a
spoon.
Do not drain the cup.
For fish do not use a dessert knife
Instead of the fish knife. If there be
110 fish knife, use a small crust of your j
bread, but leave that piece of crust on
your plate. Do not eat It afterward,
as so many people do.
Do not be dainty and fringe your
plate with bits of meat. Eat what you
can and put any skin or bone on the
edge of your plate in one little heap, t
which move down from the edge when
you have finished.
Do not crumple up your table napkin. !
If you are only a guest for the day, do
not fold it up, but if you are staylog on
and in a quiet household fold it up. If
you are staying in a big house where
everything is done "en grand prince," j
do not fold it up. Just place It on the j
table when you leave, as in rich estab
lishments there are clean table napkins J
every day.
After eating it Is well before you !
drink to wipe your lips, otherwise you
leave a smeary mark on the glass.
Do not gulp liquids and bolt food.
Do not masticate or swallow audibly.
Do uot pile your plate with food or
grasp your knife, fork or spoon as If it
were a weapon of warfare.
Do not crumble the bread by your
side or drain your glass to the last
drop.
On the other hand, do not be affected
and eat as if an appetite were a crime,
drink as if you were a dicky bird and
hold your knife, fork and spoon as If
they were redhot needles.

A MOUNTAIN LAKe
Oh, limpid listener, in your placid soul
Are mingled all the songs that brooks hr.ve tung
When years and years, the shaggy hills among.
They babbled of their trials, with foamy teart,
Until, all wearied, having reached their goal,
You softly soothed their sorrows and their fears.
Like sentinels the stolid mountains stand
About you, dre9't in garb of y.irgeous green;
At early dawn their mirrored shapes are seen
In shimmering outline, painted by tin- sun, i
Upon y ur face, athwart the- gleaming sand.
Nor fade froin view until the day is done.
| A fitting figure of eternal rest
! You typify the changeless fate of man
i When, having coursed mortality's brief span
i Adovn the hills of Time, his life shall end,
| And all his doings, be they banned or blest,
Forevermore, with other deed®, shall blend.
—John A Koote in Rosary Magazine.
