Drummer's Out fbr Revenge,
[Philadelphia Ledger.]
It is estimated that the trusts, by
their consolidation of Interests and re
duction of expenses, have already
thrown 350,000 commercial travelers
out of employment, and these men are
preparing to fight the combinations in
the only way possible, through politics.
That number of such energetic and re
sourceful workers as the majority of
traveling men are is a body to be fear
ed, and their influence is certain to be
felt in the coming campaign.
Chicago Alderznanic Philosophy.

of tbe very hot afternoons of lost week:
"When a high-stepping girl that ought

The Bight Family.
[From Harper. Bazar.]
A gentleman of decided and highly
cultivated musical tastes, wishing to
change hiB residence, advertised for
rooms in a "private family fond of
music." The next mall brought him
the following reply: "Dear sir: I
thiiik we could accommodate you with
rooms, and as for music one of my
daughters plays the parlor organ and
guitar, another oroplay, the aocordaon
and banjo I play a cornet and fiddle
my. wife plays the harmonica, and^jny,
son the flute. We all sing, and if yon
are good at tenner singing you would
fit right in when we get to singing
gospel hymns evenings, for none of us
sing tenner or If you play the base vial
we have one right in the house. If you
want music as well as board we could
accommodate you, and there would be
no extra charge for it."
Sight Death, bom Drinking Wood
Alcohoi.
A Des Moines dispatch announces
the fnneral of Mrs. Maggie Neal, from
the home of her father, J. D. Davis, in
Capital park.
This adds another victim to the roll
of fatalities of those who recently par
took of wood alcohol at a picnic near
Mingo, Jasper county.
Mrs. Neal, with her husband, resided
in Mingo, and is understood to have
been one of a party who attended the
picnic some time since in the vicinity
of the town. It is said that eight of
the crowd in attendance upon that oc
casion are now dead, while four are
very low and may not recover, one of
them being the husband of Mrs. Neal.
It 1b reported that the cause of death in
each case was the poisonous effect of
wood alcohol, which the parties drank,
being unable to procure any other
stimulant and being ignorant of the
deadly effect upon the human system.
The matter has been kept very quiet.
It is supposed that no one in the party
had any idea of the difference in alco
hol and that the poison was procured
and used in preparing a drink.
A Michigan exchange says that pre
parations are on foot to introduce into
that state a scheme that has been very
profitable to those who have been en
gaged in it in Canada for some three
years past, but very disastrous to the
farmers there. It consists of the publi
cation of a so-called "Farm For Sale
Journal," which is to be devoted
to descriptions of farmB for sale
as its title indicates. The state is
to be canvassed by agents, who first
use arguments to induce the farmer to
offer his farm for sale, and next, by
glowing representations about the
picture^and descriptions that are to be
published in the journal, and of the
vast'ciroulation it is to have among
farm buyers, they lead the farmer to
sign a very shrewdly worded contract
to pay to the order of these parties a
sum of from $100 to 8500, depending
on the price put on the farm. Osten
sibly the payment is to be made only
when the farm is sold, but the supposed
contract eventually turns up in the form
of a promissory note for the amount,
and is said to be so worded that ltcan be
filed the recorder's office of the county

not depend upon a sale being made,
although the farmer is induced to be
lieve that it does. It is a very cunning
scheme, designed to get something for
nothing, and it is said that a state like
Michigan, well worked, will net the pro

It is quite a task to break a number
of heifers to be gentle milk cows. I
bad such a task last spring and a larger
one this. I suppose this is the experi

What Good Blood Oan't Do.
None of the fine breeds of stock
whether cattle, hogs sheep or hens pos
sess any ability whatever to overcome
tbe results of short feed and poor cam.
On the contrary, it is probably true that
such finely bred stock is every way more
senBative to impoverishing conditions
and lack of care than is commoner
scrub stock. It can only be said of Sue"
stock that with the best of food and
care it will respond with a greater de
gree of profit to the owner than will eomr
mon stock. The finely bred milch cows,
hunting a scanty winter meal in afield
of dried and woody cornstalks, expoeed
to a northwestern zero breeze, can no
more respond at the pail than the Jeffs
could sing when captive in Babylon.—

About Milkers
[Atlanta Constitution.]
It seems to be an art that is easily
learned, but we have long ago come to
tbe conclusion that first-class milkers,
like poets, are born, not made. A great
many qualities go into tbe combination
—patience, kindness, pride in the
animals under their care, and, above all,
an art of manipulation that no dexter
ity can convey. Old Dr. Fambrough
used to say that good milkers are born
with the rudiments of special muscle in
their hands.
Yet it seems possible for a white man
to acquire the art sufficiently to become
a fair milker. Why do white men fight
Bhy
of a business In which they may
easily make themselves indispensable
The Northern men who come south to
do such work are usually thoBe who
cannot get a job at home, and are, con
sequently, failures when they under
take such work here.
The truth is, good milkers are rare,
even at the north, and various inven
tions have been made, to overcome the
difficulty. Their name 1B legion, but
the most successful is the milking tube.
It is alBo the most exasperating. The
truth is that next to a hungry calf, noth
thing can strip a cow as clean of
milk as a good milker. We doubt
most capitally whether in all the
United States there are to be found
100 first-class milkers—men or women
who can prevent an average cow from
going dry betwen calves, no matter how
extended the interval. We have never
seen but one milker, who didn't know
how to dry a cow up, or who woull re
fuse to undertake the job.
On the other hand, we have known
many who could take the finest cow In
the world and dry her up in two.

If, after smearing his fingers wWlr'^a-,

rubs the ndder with a little of the oil,
so that it will run down along the

World'. Largeat Creamery.
"The saying 'When the cows come
home' means something to Obadiah
Sands of Illinois," said a citizen of that
state. "It requires the coming home of
120,000 cows to supply the milk with
which he makes his annual output of
butter. He made and sold 14,000,000
pounds of butter last year and received
i,500,000 for It. Of course he didn't
stand and agitate the churn dasher that
thrashed all that butter out, but tbe
emyloyees of 160 creameries that he
owns and controls managed to churn It.
Obadiah Sands is the largest butter pro
ducer in the world, and 12 years ago he
began with one small creamery. Now
it require 20 carloads, or more than 600
tons, of salt to salt tbe butter be turns

the same cow increase from one gallon
to four and three-quarters under the
manipulations of a negro woman, who
had never learned how to make a cow

THE TIMMER MARKET.
I* I. a Unique Affair Held at Aber
deen. Scot land.
On the last WcducKduy of August ev
ery year 1B a tuir, called the "Tiuuior
snarkot," held iu the Oastle square in
Aberdeen, Scotland. Some 50 or 60
years ago nothing oould be bought at it
Jbut wooden articles^ from vrhich arose
the name "Tiinraer." Now, however, it
^is the Sooteh housewife's last chance of
vgMting her berries for preserving. Ev
jery patron of the market knows that
after that month the only chance of
fruit ia gone hence the rash. Great and
small, rioh and poor, alike turn out.
Booths set to the bent advantage and
numbering perhaps 300 are arranged in
rows, ample room being left for the bny
fitTB and pleasure seekers between. Fruit
utalla, old clothes dealers, shooting
ranges, wheels of fortune—everything
to make a penny—car. be found there.
Schools and oolleges have no recognised
holiday on that Wednesday, yet the
average "med" is a regular attendant
Dp and down he parades, blowing his
trumpet in the face of every one be
meets and looking the very pioture of
bappinen.
By 7 o'clock the "tarry rope1' lamps
are lit and the fan oommenoes. Country
"bnmklns" fetch their "laues" and
buy them oandy and pears or whatever
is wished for, provided that the oost
does not exceed sixpenoe. The elite of
both sexes mix with the crowd and
"treat," the one theother. When all is
about sold out, the students start for
home with a rush, upsetting the stalls
as they go. Nothing of course is said
by the polioe, it being "Tlmmer" day.

Sunday morning a horn was loudly

Servioe began at 9 o'olook and lasted
for eight hpurs, with an intermission of
one hour for dinner and conversation.
In the earliest days the congregation sat
on rude benohes, their seats being as

servioe consisted of several parts, whioh
are ohronloled in an anoient diary as
follows:

FEEDING A SKELETON.
Experl.ae. Wltk
"Once in awhile I have some freak
boarders," said a hotel manager. "One
time I had a living skeleton who came
very near breaking me up in business.
He came here for a long stay, as he
was going to make the rounds of all the
museums in town. Bis manager came
to me and made arrangements foe the
skeleton to live at my hotel while he
waa in-the otty. I snppoeed that a liv

anything but water, so I made him is
.(rat. away down—98 a week, 1 believe—
It wasft* board and room. Tbe skele-.
ton arrived early one morning, the
first mwl be had at the hotel was break
last.
After he had finished his breakfast
and gone to his room I went to the din
