One the Book Asent. The woman had her arms in the tub, and was fiercely scrubbing one dirty garment after another. Hook agents don't often penetrate to that part of Chicago, but this one did. He knocked on the front door until be was tired, and then he went around to the back door. The wom an was bobbing up and down over the washboard. "Good morning, madam," said the book agent, pleasantly. "Good niorniii, said the woman, shortly. "Pleasant day." observed the book agent, sparring for an opening. "Good enough," answered the woman. "Excuse me, madam." said the book agent, "but I have here a work that I would like to show yon." "Have you?" answered the woman. "Well, I've got a lot of work that I'd like to show yon." Sin- took one soapy hand out of the tub and waved it at a great pile of dirty clothes. "Tljat's my unrk." went on the woman. "If your work can beat that, all right: if it can't, why. skip out." The book agent skipped.--Chicago Tribune. Seareltr of Platlnnm. The scarcity of platinum is begin ning to cause some concern among the electrical manufacturers of the country. For about five years the price of this valuable metal has Meadily risen, until to-day it is listed at a higher price than ever since its discovery, and every indication points to still higher prices. Platinum is now quoted at about $36 an ounce, about twice the quotation of gold, while five years ago it sold as low r.s five dollars an ounce. Since the flood ing of the plantinum mines in the Transvaal, which occurred after the breaking out of the Boer war. manu facturers have had to rely on Siberia for their supply of the valuable metal. Some little hope was held out that platinum would be found in Alaska and other northern minin countries, but no such discoveries have been made. Western Electri cian. Con OIL The corn grain has, in addition its starch element, a tiny germ which lies its life principle. Thi trerm was formerly separated and thrown aside as waste. Lately it ha been found that this germ is rich in oil which can be utilized. The germ is now separated from the starch and crushed. The oil gathered from it finds a ready market, and withi the last few years millions of dol lars worth of this oil has been ex ported to Europe. After the oil taken from the germ the gluten left in the cake is used for varnish and the residue is used for cattle food. Detroit Free Press. Mat m SnoifBi. Words that are synonyms won't ol ways applv in mercantile dealings. An amusing instance of this happened in a department store lately. An elder ly priest, who evidently had the fur nishing of a parish house in cbargi accosted one 01 the aisle managers with a request to be directed to th counter where "frauds" were sold, This was a new one on the manager, and his puzzled expression brought the priest to a realization of his mis take. "I beg your pardon; it is 'shams' I mean," he said, and he was then smi Intrly directed to the bed linen coun ter. Philadelphia Kecord. A BIoa4aoana Man. A bloodhound man has been discov ered by a Greek doctor. This is an individual whose scent of smell is keen that be can recognize his friend: at a distance of several feet, and when he is blindfolded. One scien tific fact resulting from this highly developed sense is that all the mem bers of the family have a character istic odor, and that each family has its distinctive odor. Chicago Chron icle. Laxarr la Diet. It is very questionable whether from the strictly nutritive point of view champagne and oysters are after all in health an advance upon ginger- beer and cockles, whether turtle preferable to calf's head or caviare to soft herring roe, or plovers eggs su perior to the ordinary eggs of the barnyard bird. The price of an article of food by no means sets upon it its food value. London Lancet. A substitute for rubber is made by covering sheets of the finest Japan ese rice paper with a certain kind o varnish, and' then applying pressure. The paper and varnish become homogeneous mass, and by the time it is ready for use it is flexible, elas tic, light and completely airtight and waterproof. Ledger Monthly. Battera-Cateklaar la Japan.

Tfce Disappearance of a flood Old Flanrea. ? :'That good old American dish which used to deserve its name ofclamchow- "l der seems to have degenerated these days into a thick, sour-tasting tomato soup, says the New York Sun. There is scarcely a place in town where one ;an get clam chowder now as it was made when the dish earned the great measure of popularity upon which its disreputable successor is still trad ing. Instead of clams tomatoes have be come the chief ingredient, and the suit is an indigestible mess that re calls only in name the savorv chowder ojf;better days, and nine times out of I CD- me Ueluuea (liner wlio partakes Ht will be afflicted with heartburn fpr hours afterward. rAl the seashore where clams are abundant one would naturally expect to get a chowder made after the old orthodox fashion, but in the neigh borhood of Xew York at least there remains only disappointment for any one who banks on this hone. Even .7 . " there the enterprisiugnnd inexpensive tomato lias won the ti-'lit. and it is that product and not the clam that dominates the chowder. Another m st a nee of the nfrfjressive' ness of the tomato is to be found in most restaurants that serve spaghetti. This. too. instead of lieinir an appe tizing mixture of macaroni nnd meat Rly, topped with Parmesan, has come to ne nothing more than a sauce or tomato poured over the spanetti. An that it Is little won der that these two dishes clam chow der and spaghetti which formerly were so highly esteemed by those who knew good eating, have fallen in favor here, and it seems probable that the time is at hand when thev will be found on the lists of onlv the poorest grade of eating places, SECURING A LOWER BERTH. The Trick Sometime. Played a Traveler, to Get the C oveted Sleeping; Place. Those who travel a n-ood deal and! tircompelled to make use of night I appreciate the value of a lower berth in a sleeper. All kinds of tricks are resorted to to secure one and the agent must keep Ins eyes wide open if he would escape several kinds of trouble. One of Chicago's veteran passenger men the other day told of a practice that was common before! it was decided not to show the dia- grams of the cars to passengers. "A customer would come into thel office," said he, "and ask to be shown I the diagrams of the various sleepers. in looKing meiu over ne would no tice that John Smith had a lower .re-1 served until four o'clock in the after noon, as he was not certain thatbel would be able to take the train that day. After getting the name well! fixed in his mind the tricky cus tomer would purchase a ticket and go back to his office. About two o'clock he would send a messenger hoy to the ngeney with a notice that John Smith had decided to take thel berth he had conditionally reserved. wnereupon it wouiii tic turned over I to the messenger. When John Smith called at four o'clock the dia gram showed that his lower In-rth was gone. It would not be proper I to quote all that John Smith would say at such times. To save ourselves from these embarrassments and to protect our customers, we recently decided to treat our diagrams a confidential." PROVISIONS FOR AN ARMY. Larc Ocean Steamahipa Are ObllKed to Have a Well-Stocked larder. People who cross the Atlantic in one of the great liners are in no danger of famishing. A gentleman with a penchant for statistics has given the public the average supply aboard the Oeutschland at the beginning of every voyage between Xew York and Ham burg, and, of course, all the other big ships are provisioned in about the same way. In the first place, there are -10 tons of ice to keep things eatable and drinkable, and these are the things that were on the ice on a recent trip across: Fourteen neeves, ten calves. 29 sheep. 26 lambs, 9 hogs, 1,500 chick ens, geese and game birds, 1,700 pounds of fish, 400 pounds of tongues and sweetbreads, 1,700 doz ens of eggs, 14 barrels of oysters and clams, 175 barrels of potatoes, 75 bar rels of other vegetables, 20 crates of tomatoes and celery, 200 dozen heads of lettuce, 90 barrels of flour. 600 pottuds of oatmeal and hominy, 1,300 pounds of bntter, 2.200 quarts of milk. 300 quarts of cream. 1.000 big molds of ice cream. 4 tons of fruit, 12.000 quarts of wine and Iquor, 15,000 quarts of beer and 400 tons of drinking wa ter. Of course all of this is not used oc each trip, but enough is carried to provide a liberal margin. Th Level at Lake Erie. Lake Erie is now three and one-hall feet below the city base of level, the standard from which the city take; measurements of altitude. What is known to engineers as the "city da tum" represents the high water mark of the lake in 1838. It cannot be said that the level of the lake is steadily lowering, as some believe, for the level has risen above and gone below the city datum several times since 1S38. It is interesting to note that the great' est depth in Lake Erie'directly north from Cleveland is 63 feet. The great est depth in the lake is more than 20C feet, off Long Point. Cleveland Leader. C.
