THE FLAIL.
Its Sonnd Has Departed from Nearly
All the Farms.
The sound of the flail has departed
from nearly all the farmsteads and the
calling of the thrasher has gone with !
it, says Notes and Queries. Yet for j
some time after harvest was over there !
was no more familiar sound in the j
country places than the "thud! thud!" |
of the flails as they fell upon and beat
out the grain on the barn-thrashing
floors. There remain, however, some
sayings in which "like the thrasher"
occurs, but the use of these grow less
and less. A short time ago some
friends were in a country place where
a part of the thrashing is done with
the flail. A couple of the implements
were hanging on the barn wall and a
•heap of straw was on the floor. The
use of the flail was explained and
demonstrated for the benefit of those
who had never seen this "weapon" of
husbandry. Incidentally it may be
mentioned that the sayings, "Sings
like a thrasher" and "Works like a
thrasher," came from that occupation,
and are "as old as Adam." "It looks
easy enough; that can't be very hard
work," said one of the company, a re
mark which led to the flail being put
Into his hands for a try at the "easy
work." One swing was enough for
the amateur, for t'other end" caught
him "a friendly whack" which probably
he will remember to the end. It also
doubtless impressed upon his memory
that "working like a thrasher" as he
had done had not led to "singing like
a thrasher." "You'll get a good flail
ing." Has any reader seen the flail

JULIUS HUMES & SON.
BALTIMORE, MP., U. S. A. Dept. '* 1 3
The use of track tanks by which loco
l motives of high speed passenger trains
; may take water without stopping is al
most universal on the larger Eastern
! roads, where fast expresses are the rule.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad has a
! number between Washington and
| Philadelphia and intends to equip the
| entire Main Line in the future.
| This decision was recently arrived at
I through Vie use of passenger locomo
-1 lives, equipped with water scoops, on
! fast freight trains. It was found that
, much time was saved, danger from
I stopping being reduced to a minimum
I and cost of running lessened. The
Transportation Officials made some cal
culations and the figures showed a sav
| ing of no small sum, if track tanks are
j used for slow freights on the divisions
where business is very heavy.
The extra stops for water take much
time and the wear and tear on equip- (
ment is no small matter, and if five
stops on each train can be eliminated
between Cumberland and Baltimore,
where trains are the thickest, the sav
ing will be quite large.
If the experiment on this part of the
road proves successful, track tanks
will be installed on every division be
tween Baltimore and Chicago. As a
starter, the 50 new Vauclain Compound
Engines recently ordered will be fitted
with water scoops.
The London underground railroad is
losing popularity. During the last half
year the falling off in the number of
passengers carlied amounted to 300,000.
More Magnlllceut Thau Niagara.
A correspondent writing in The
Spectator says the Gersoppa falls, on
the Sharavatti river, in South Kanara,
India, are larger and more magnificent
than Niagara. He says: "The river
is 230 yards wide; the clear fall is 830
feet. The Gersoppa falls in the rainy
season are incomparably finer than
Niagara in every respect. The roar of
the falling waters is simply terrific;
the whole earth shakes, and the thun
der is so great that it completely
drowns the human voice. When I vis
ited Niagara and told my American
friends about Gersoppa they replied
with polite incredulity, 'We never
heard of Gersoppa.' I replied, 'Make
your minds easy; the people at Ger
soppa have never heard of Niagara.'
If Niagara could see Gersoppa she
would wrap her head In a mist."

SOME WOMEN'S POT BOILERS.
Unusual Occupations Which Mean a Good
Livings and Sometlmea a Fortune.
A former society woman A f New
York City whose fortune is now gone
finds in house decorating a means of
support. She takes orders for interior
decorations, inoluding walls, wood
work and furnishings. She not only
makes the purchases, but super
intends the workmen. Her friends,
admiring the taste Bhown in the fur
nishing of her own home, suggested
that she give the world the benefit of
her talent.
In a Western city a large home
delicacy association, whioh supplies
tearooms, clubs and railway cafes, is
controlled by a woman. It began in
a small way, the originator being
asked to bake things for a luncheon
room. Her first contribution was
gingerbread. This was homemade
gingerbread, and evoked enthusiasm.
Then there was a demand for cakes,
rolls, salads, pickles and jellies. The
demand continued, and the associa
tion was the outcome of her experi
ment.
One woman who on account of poor
health was obliged to give np teach
ing bought up a lot of bog and mash
land in a little New Jersey town, and
fencing it with wire started a frog
farm, sending the legs to the market.
She found a frog crop easy to raise,
and it is said that Bhe has made from
S3OOO to SSOOO a year out of this un
usual enterprise.
A young Frenoh woman whose
home was the joy and envy of her
friends was asked one day by one of
them if she would out of pity arrange
the petitioner's home, for in epite of
many pretty and costly things it had
"that stiff look." The success she
made in the rearranging of her friend's
home was so great that the question
was suggestsd "why not mako some
pin money by putting homes in
order?" So she advertised to do
dusting and artistic arranging "by
the hour." Her first customers were
so well pleased that they recommended
her to; their friends, and now she
has more than she can do.
A Southern girl has found a unique
way of earning her living and is, in
deed, making a fortune. She raises
mooking birds and sells and rents
them. She gets the birds when they
are fledglings— sometimes from the
nest just before they have to fly or
when in attempting to fly they fall
helpless to the ground and are res
cued; or, sometimes, when they break
a wing, whioh does not hinder their
singing and makes them content in a
cage. This young woman will never
sell her birds to a Northerner, for
sho knows they will die when brought
to the North, and sho loves them too
well for that. She rents them to visi
tors at the hotels and cottages who go
to the South for the winter.
The New Paris Coiffure.
A new coiffure which has already
been adopted by many Frenoh women
is deoidedly piquant to some faces.
The hair on either side is waved
slightly and puffed out, the middle
part is waved in soft, irregular waves
and dressed in the shape of a large
mussel ahell, whioh is made to fall
over the forehead. One large puff,
made with the hair tied together and
placed high on the head, forms the
chignon; this puff is pulled out soft
and wide, the hair being carried for
ward and the strand bent, as when
making an 1830 puff. The remainder
of the hair is then lightly twisted and
arranged around the base of the paff.
A comb placed at the back gives a
pretty finishing touoh.
The artistic hair dresser insists that
every comb and pin, bow or butterfly
placed in the coiffure should have a
reason for its presenoe. Hair not
puffed or waved does not look well
with jeweled pins, or fanciful ospreys
and bouquets disturbing its severity
and destroying the effeots of its be
coming simplicity. An Empire comb
placed at the base of a low coiffure is
inconsistent and in bad taste. The
whole reason for these combs is either
to support the hat or as an ornament
pure and simple. If as an ornament
its proper plaoe is in front of the
twists, whioh oome no higher than the
level of the top of the ears.
The gauze butterflies, particularly
the black ones spangled with jet or
gold or silver, whioh go so well with
the sequined laoe frocks of the sea
son, are not as becoming to everyone
as one might imagine such pretty
things to be. Tnlle bows of white or
in light oolors, spangled or plain, are
lees trying if less beautiful and most
of them are very pretty and becoming.
Tulle bowß with appliq,ue designs in
laoe are partioalarly prettj, givingthe
effect of a laoe bow agaiaßt a eloud-
Jike colored background.- -New York
Commercial Advertiser.
The New Styles In Millinery.
The hats and bonnets for the season
are very picturesque, and while some
are not very different from those of a
year ago the slight changes make for
beauty and "beoomingness." The
velvet toque of immense size is among
the new styles for the season, but its
tendency is to dip over the eyes, whilo
the chief oharm of last season's toque
was that it was a frame for tho face
and displayed the pompadour to its
last fluffy hair. A rather pretty new
style in toques has a low crown, a
rolling brim, and while coming further
over the forehead than last year's
variety is dented directly in tho centre
of the front, making place for a big
bow of panne or satin, or for a breast
of grebe and a soft osprey. A great
ohou of bright tinted velvet, with a
barrrette of pearls or steel, is also very
effective, and looks wonderfully pretty
when the color of the hair is carefully
considered in ehoosing the velvet. The
poke bonnet, with tiny crown, flaring
brim aDd long strings of tulle or vel
vet, is quaint and becoming to the
woman who has a picturesque face.
Some of the bonnets are made of rib
bon velvet, gathered slightly and
placed row upon row like rose petals;
the brims are faced with rows of vel
vet pipings over satin or lace. Ckoux
of lace, flowers and velvet leaves add
to the old-time air of these bonnets,
and jeweled brooches are used to fasten
the tulle strings which are intended to
be twisted around the neck twice and
fastened at one side.
Susan B. Anthony Abroad.
Two little stories are told about that
stanchest exponent of democratic and
republican institutions, Susan B. An
thony. On one occasion Bhe actually
undertook to introduce one of the
greatest lords in the kingdom to two
poor little girl employes on a London
paper, and, as if this were not suf
ficiently heinous, she told him frankly
that she had forgotten his name. He
did not tell it to her, and if Gibson
could have caught the expression of
his lordship's face he might have pro
duced his masterpiece.
At another time she was invited to a
swell luncheon to meet the Princess
Christian, the Queen's daughter. Af
ter shaking hands with her and talk
ing a few minntes Miss Anthony sat
down. Presently some one came and
told her she must not ait while royalty
was standing. Some of her friends
say that her eighty years and the
fatigue from the strain of the past
weeks justified her in sitting. Others
say that she oould have stood up two
hoars if she had had a suffrage speech
to make, but that the awful breach of
etiquette was due to that spirit of her
Quaker ancestors which made them
faoe death rather than take off their
hat to a king. Miss Anthony herself
only laughs and "refuses to be inter
viewed."—Washington Post.
Dai Lived Under Four Flags.
On July 24 the Daughters of the
Republic of Texas observed in a quiet
way the eightieth birthday of Mrs.
Anson Jones, widow of the last Presi
dent of the Republic of Texas. Mrs.
Jones lives in St. Louis with her son,
Dr. C. E. Jones, and in spite of her
eighty years is hale and hearty, taking
much interest in the Daughters of the
Republic—of which she is one of the
mothers—and in her church.
Mrs. Jones has lived under four
flags, few who can say that, being in
the land of the living. She was born
under the Stars and Stripes, came to
live under the Snake and Caotus of
Mexico, saw the rise and the honor
able retirement of the Lone Star of
Texas, witnessed the rise and the fait
of the Stars and Bars, and is again
undor the Stars and Stripes, happy
and contented in her old age.—St.
Louis Republic.
How to Stick in Your Hut Pins.
With the hi)ir dressed low an elastic
can be substituted; but in the case of
a ooil worn high up two pins must be
used. Lot them be of moderate length,
and take the trouble to run them
in among the trimming of feathers, so
that a bare bit of straw is not damaged
and left exposed to view another time.
The point should pass through the
hair on the top of the head and just
penetrate the opposite side of the hat,
so that it is fixed firmly, though the
pins remain invisible. When the hat
or bonnet is lavishly trimmed this
course is easier, naturally, but a sailor
hat with its plain band can be treated
in the same way, the pin going across
just above the ribbon.
Wa.h For an Oily Skin.
For an oily skin with large pores an
authority advises washing every night
with hot water and pure castile soap;
then, with gentle massage, apply a
good quality of oold cream. Glycerine
is benefioial to some skins, but injuri
ous to others, so every individul must
note the effect upon her own. In the
morning put about a teaspoonful of
tinoture of benzoin in a quart of cold
water, and wash the face and hands
well in it.
The Winter Colora.
Light neutral colors will be in vogue
for the winter.
Fashion Fads and Fancies.
Smooth cloth gowns will be much
in vogue.
Handsome stiff silver bracelets are
out in a heavy rope pattern.
Red and pink have taken very many
of theforemost seats in fashion's court
this season.
The demi-long coats in white caout
chouo or waterproof, in a thin and
supple quality, are very stylish.
The rage for jewels is on the in
orease, and they will undoubtedly be
used more than ever this season.
Elbow sleeveß aro almost universal
ly worn, sometimes with long gloves
and sometimes with no gloves at all.
The pullback and the princess are
really revived. The fewer seams and
the fewer darts the more fashionable
a woman appears.
A legion of women will undoubtedly
hail with undisguised delight the an
nouncement that cottou shirt waists
are to be worn entirely through the
winter season.
The new supple weaves of taffeta
silk are in great use this season, both
for gowns and accessories, to say noth
ing of the pretty dotted and striped
patterns and the weaves burred with
satin in contrasting colors for fancy
waists.
Gauzy materials, like the heavier
materials, are much in vogue when
pierced and buttonholed. Many of
the fichus, plastrons und yokes mada
of this pierced stuff are laced with
bright-cMored comet ribbon, which
gives a striking offset.
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Flower Instead or Initial.
Tha newest method of marking
handkerchiefs and linen is dainty and
artistio enough to become popular in
a short time. Instead of the initial
or monogram, the owner's favorite
flower is embroidered in one corner of
the mourohoir or tablecloth, or en
graved on the stationerv.
The Way to illuko an Ice Poultice.
An ice poultice is made by mixing
eraoked ice with sawdust, putting the
mixture into a flannel bag and wrap
ping this in oiled silk or thin India
rubber cloth. It is sometimes used
to reduce the temperature in children
in oases of fever when the head is hot,
but its application requires great
eare.—Ladies' Home Journal.
Mattrcsic. Need Cleaning.
When the autumn housecleaning
comes around the up to date house
keeper sends her mattresses to be
cleaned as regularly as her carpets.
If the abomination of feather beds be
need, as is still the case in some be
nighted households, the annual clean
ing is an absolute necessity of hygiene.
Whether mattress or feather bed
be used, it should have an outside
cover of strong ootton, to be removed
frequently and washed.
A Good Fire Klndler.
On one of our outings to the mouu
tains we seoured a quantity of very
rieh pitoh pine which made such good
kindling wood that when it was gone
the old way of whittling shavings
seemed very unsatisfactory, and we
set out to find something better.
Pouring kerosene on malms the lire
start quickly, but we have a prejudice
against being burned alive. After
various experiments we hit upon the
following which is safe and cheap and
good. Take a flat ten-pound lard
pail. Break corn cobs in two and
stand the halves on end in the pail
until the bottom is filled. Then pour
kerosene enough over them to wet
the oobs and leave a little in the bot
tom of the pail, so that half an inch
or less of the ends of the cobs will
stand in the oil. One of these pieces
of cob laid in the grate will light
readily from a matoh and burn strong
ly enough to start quite coarse kin
dling, and prove a great help on cold
winter mornings.—L. Mentor, in
Farm, Field and Fireside.
A New Table For Photogruplifl.
A new table is being shown in the
swell furniture stores which could
easily be duplicated in less expensive
materials and placed in more than one
room in the house. We all know how
photographs accumulate and how hard
it is to keep them from dust and also
from fading.
This table is designed especially for
photographs and will fill a long felt
want. It is about as large as the old
fashioned work table and, like it, has
a top which opens, disolosing a box
inside which is divided into compart
ments of different sizes for the recep
tion of photographs. The top is of
pleated satin brocade, so arranged
that piotures can be poked in here and
there, and when opened the top forms
quite an ornamental background for
the faces of our friends.
The imported model is very beauti
fully and expensively upholstered in
heavy Pompadour brocade of an ecru
Color, powdered with small flowers.
In copying this pretty invention for
the preservation of photographs
cheaper wood can be used, and the '
oovering may be of some inexpensive
silk, cretonne or plush.—New York
Herald.
Fmit at Dinner.
When bananas are served at dinner
the skin should be removed with a
fruit knife, the banana held in the
hand, and small pieces broken or cut
off and eaten from the fingere. Some
very partioular people put the banana
on the plate after it has been peeled
ai-d cut, and eat it from a fork, but
this is not the usual custom. Oranges
are seldom served at dinner unless
they are specially prepared—that is,
with the skin taken off of them, the
seotions divided and made tasteful by
some dressing or sweetening, and the
seeds removed, in which oase the fruit
is eaten from a fork, as if it were a
pudding, ioe or fruit salad. When
apples are served they are usually
part of a fruit oentrepiece, and shonld
be pared, out into small pieces and
eaten from the fingerß or fork as fan
oied. Fruit stones may be removed
from the mouth by the assistance of
the fork, but it is in better taste to
use one's napkin to conceal this aot.
Fish bones are taken from the mouth
with the fingers. Care, however, is
usually taken to leave as few bones as
possible in the fish, since the general
use of the silver knife with the silver
fork has made it easy to separate the
bones from the meat.
Recipes.
Rusk—Two eggs, two cupfuls ot
•weet milk, two cupfuls of melted but
ter, a little salt, two teaspoonfuls of
cream of tartar, one teaspoonful of
soda, four oupfuls of flour. This must
be well beaten.
Baked Fish Roll—Mix together one
cupful of cold baked fish, one cupful
of mashed potatoes, a half cupful of
milk, one well beaten egg and pepper
and salt to taste. Form into a roll,
put into a buttered baking dish,
sprinkle with bread crumbs, add bits
of butter and bake until a nice brown.
Turnip Sauce—Have boiling a pint
of salted water, in which drop two
medium-sized white onions and two
white turnips the size of a teacup;
boil until tender and mash fine; do
not use the liquid, but add to the
pulp one cupful of milk, one-half cup
ful of cream, adding a teaspoonful
each of flour and butter rubbed
smooth together, half a teaspoonful of
salt and half a saltspoonful of pepper;
stir until smooth and hot and serve in
a boat; delicious with roast duck.
For the horse, as for his master,
Ivory finds abundant scope;
Galls and scratches heal much faster,
When well cleansed with Ivory Soap. 1
Where 'tis used, the work is lighter,
Sleek and smooth the horses' coats,
Harness softer, carriage brighter,
And—a final charm it floats.
YOUTH
With ■ Financial Gcntna That Dooms
Him to aillllonalrcdom.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: "My
roommate Is a chap of extraordinary
financial genius," remarked a railroad
clerk of this city. "He Is a native of
California, and five or six years ago
he spent a season on a sugar planta
tion In Hawaii. He was engaged at
the time, and while he was there
he corresponded regularly with his
fiancee. Afterward they quarreled and
the match was broken off, but the poor
girl thought his letters were beauti
ful, and treasured them religiously.
Quite reoently he saw In a paper that
Hawaiian stamps of the period of his
stay there had become very scare and
valuable, and he Immediately sat down
and wrote to his old sweetheart de
manding his letters. He said he was
loon to be married, and felt It his duty
to destroy 'em; appealed to her 'bet
ter feelings' and all that, and, to make
a long story short, she sent them back.
They wero yellow with age, and had
luspicous stains that looked like tears,
bilt he wasn't moved a bit. He prompt
ly cut off all the stamps, sent them
to a New York agency, and yesterday
he got a check for $42. Our landlady,
who knows about It, says he Is a per
fect brute, and will come to a bad end.
tam afraid so myself. I think he Is
doomed to become a millionaire."
Women of the Orient.
A recent visitor to the Philippines
■ays that some of the women of the
Island are remarkably pretty, having
big, languishing eyes and an abun
dance of long hair. This they fasten
np with a big gold pin and then adorn
with flowers. They do not wear hats,
hut use sunshades, and do so very oo
quettlshly; they wear very dainty
■hoes, but do not wear stockings. They
are distinguished by grace of figure
and movement, though according to
our ideas not especially by refinement
of habits, for both women and chil
dren smoke huge cigars and Indulge
in betel chewing. It Is their custom
to keep the thumb nail of the right
hand very long, as this assists them In
playing their favorite Instrument, the
guitar. The use of the fan originated
in Ohlna and sprang from the follow
ing Incident: A royal princess, very
beautiful, was assisting at the feast of
lanterns, her face covered with a mask,
as usual. The excessive heat com
pelled her to remove It, and in order
to guard her features from the common
gaze she moved It quickly to and fro
i In front of her face, thus simultaneous
ly hiding her charms and cooling her
brow. The Idea was at once adopted
throughout the kingdom.
A few years ago there were as many ]
as 33 vegetarian restaurants In London.
To-day there exists only about six.

The American Manufacturer,.
The Idea ot an exhibit of Americas
products and manufactures in St. Pet
ersburg in 1901 is favorably received
and commented on in manufacturing
circles. Russia is the most inviting
field for American trade extension now
in sight. That great empire is in the
early stages of prodigious development,
and a grand market is being created
there for the innumerable devices and
appliances for multiplying production
and decreasing its cost, as well as for
developing the splendid resources of
the nation. An exhibit such as indi
cated will give the Russian an oppor
tunity of seeing and of inquiring into
the utility of American machinery and
of American wares of all sorts. In
the natural order of things America
will be feeling for a broader market
for her products within the next two
years, and Russia will be an important
outlet for the surplus manufactures of
the republic. Organized steps will
soon be taken to promote the St. Pet
ersburg project for American trade ex
tension, and congress will be asked to
help it along with a substantial appro
priation. If the exhibit should lead to
practical results in the way desired,
similar exhibits can he made in South
America and in other parts of the
world where the people have need of
the things which the United States can
furnish. —New York better.
