one tor every ten persons, stand si¬
lently by expecting a look from the
head waiter. The manager says “all

In making the soup the cooks work on
a basis of one quart to four to six per

the four vegetable cooks. The saddle

can the skilful carver adapt his

Tlie Wheel and Good Roads.
A score of rears ago n man who rode
a bicycle was looked upon as not very
far remote from a fool. The assertion
that the bicycle would be an important
factor in revolutionizing the road svs*
tern of the country would have been
deemed the utterance of a person un
worthy of a moment’s consideration.
But as matters stand to-day, Ihe wheel
man is iu the front rank of good roads
progressionists. The bicycle is tho
people’s carriage, the coming means of
locomotion, and the favorite steed Q f
all classes and conditions of men. With
good roads properly maintained, the
wheel surpasses the horse for everyday
use. It never wearies, costs but little
to keep, and can be relied upon never
to shy or stop in trying situations.
The first great need of the country at
present is good roads.
Steam railroads have very nearly
reached the limit of their usefulness,
and the electric road is coming into
general favor as a supplemental means
of rapid transit. But these are neces
sarily restricted, and the want of tho
day is a road wagon with some other
motive power than horseflesh. A road
engine is tho one thin® 1 lacking and
to this inventors are tnruin® their at
tention. ’ A machine of this kind must
bo very light and capable of loir/ in°order Tour
to'meet neys at a high rate of speed
the imperative demand of the
situation. The bicycle, as it stands
is, within its limits* an almost perfect
vehicle, lmt it is necessarily confined
within certain lines
The road wagoD, with a light, easily
managed motor, poweiful enough to
drive it at the rate of ten to fifteen
miles an hour, is the need of the irn
mediate future. Tho bicycle came
and demanded good roads. When

Not unlike cages made for wild ani¬
mals in Zoological Gardens are the
cells intended for persons sentenced
to be kept in durance vile in Tring
ganu. The bars are of hard wood, six
inches square and six inches apart.
Two parallel rows are driven into the
ground and connected by iron bars
runuing thlUugh the piles. The long
cell thus formed is subdivided into
compartments, so that to each inmate
is allotted a space six feet, deep by six
feet high by two feet six in dies wide,
lugress to the cells is gained by one of
the piles being left loose, which is,
however, locked securely. The whole
0 f the cells, which are barred in .at
the top, are covered with a roof of
attap, which hangs well over the cells,
and affordes the only protection from
the weather. A six-foot high bamboo
feuce surrounds the prison, with a
gate leading in from the main street.
The gate is never locked, how
ever, and anybody out* is allowed to pass
au d without let or
or hindrance. I believe there is a
jailer, but I failed to meet him or any
of the prison authorities. The food
(> f tq le prisoners is usually supplied by
Leems their friends, and no watch or ward
to be kept there. The cells
;ire seldom all occupied. The public
; tv afforded to malefactors, the ir
regular food and the lack of “home
comforts” seem to exercise a whole
some deterrent effect ou evils-doc-rs.

overcome the lirst timidity, the ferret
can be handled at all times and at all
seasons.
Having got so far the ferret is taken
into the open, and is taken hungry,
so that when he hears the food call he
will be keen to go to the trainer,
when he is rewarded with a piece of
meat or liver. For carrying the ani
mal regular ferret bags are sold, but
a better way is to have him loose in a
side pocket of the coat and keep the
flap buttoned down. When the little
beast has learned to obey in the open
he is advanced to the hedgerow* or
bush, and taught to come whenever
he is called. When the hunting com
mences the ferret is well fed the night
before, but not in the morning unless
it is very cold, when a little milk may
be given. This insures better work,
Arrived at the earth, located either
beforehand or by the hound, the fer
ret is placed in the entrance. If the
the earth be tenanted he will go down.
If not, he will go in a little way and
come out.
Sometimes the best animals will
ta ^ e a laz J fit and refuse to come out
of an earth. Withdecentlytrainedfer
rets this is seldom the case. Should
it ocenr, the best way is to make a
nest of grass or leaves at one end of
the burrow and bank both ends with
a sod of grass. The next morning
the ferret will be found curled upon
this bed awaiting his master.
Young ferrets will sometiires insist
on attacking the rabbit whenever pos
sible, instead of simply driving or
dragging him out for the sportsman’s
benefit When this disposition is
evinced the ferret must be muzzled.
Most of the muzzles offered m the
shops aro monstrosities and made sim
plj to sell. A race horse could as well
ran with a jumping yoke about his
nec ^ as a ferret could work with
one of these clumsy
Auy harness maker can very soon turn
out a muzzle that will tit like a lady’s
and in wnich the ferret will
notk oomfortoblj-and well. On th.
collar directly at the baek of the neck
and on each side may be slnng a sleigh
bell, the tiniest and lightest procura
ble. This is necessary; otherwise if
the ground is at all covered with grass
or underbrush the greatest watchful¬
ness is required, for it rains a ferret
to let him run around loose even for a
few minutes, as he is sure to do if he
gets out of an earth without being
seen. The objection to a bell is that
the sound travels a long way under
ground and rabbits in other passages
close at hand mar bolt while the
sportsman is occupied with the one.
These precautions are of course
necessary, principally wTh youug and
inexperienced terrets. The little ani
mals are quick to learn, and -proper
training will make them as perfect in
their work as bird dogs. They will
obey every word and sign of their
masters, and even where a rabbit has
been “pinned” in an earth they will
drag it out instead of killing it.
Most rabbits bolted from earth are
killed within a twenty-yard range.
Therefore, except when tna hunter is
a crack shot, ihe guu must be a cylin
der bore, or must be loaded to pro
duce what is called scatter shooting,

has been estimated, and when we con¬

single mother codfish, that tens of
thousands of others are attempting to
raise equally largo families, not to
speak of other fishes, we can realize

QUESTION OF SILYEI
GERMANY THINKS A CHANGE IN
POLICY IS NECESSARY.
And a Silver Conference is Suggested
in the Reichstag.
A Berlin cable dispatch says: In
the reichstag Wednesday Herr YOU
Kardoff, free conservative, declared
that it was imperative that the pres¬
ent system of universal suffrage should
be modified if there was any truth in
the radical assertion that the level of
the members of the reichstag had been
lowered. He continued by saying
that the deepest misery prevailed
throughout the country, for which the
only remedy was a silver currency.
Germany, he said, would earn the
gratitude of the world if she would
call a silver conference in Berlin.
He warned Chanceller Hohenloho
that the government must not attempt
to interfere with tho rights of the
reichstag. The prosecution of mem -
bers upon such charges ns were made,
he declared, was useless. The only
efficacious remedy was popular gov¬
ernment.
Herr Singer, socialist, who was aj>
pointed chairman of the committee of
the reichstag to which was referred
the question of prosecuting socialist
members who refused last Thursday to
rise to their feet and respond to the
call for cheers for tho kaiser, addressed
the chamber. Herr Singer was him¬
self the leader of tho offenders. He
declared there was no doubt in his
mind that the reichstag would reject a
proposal to prosecute the offending
members.

FOREIGNERS IN DANGER.
Prospects of a Massacre When the
Japs Approach Pekin.
The London Globe prints a letter
from a British resident in China who
occupies an important position which
brings him in touch with the manda¬
rins and the masses. The writer says:
“A tragedy may occur any day, and
when the Japanese come within sight
of the capital, I feel certain that every
foreigner will be massacred, The
foreign ministers will incur a per¬
fectly insane risk if they remain there
after the ice has closed the port of
Tien-Tsin. The greatest danger is in
the fact that nearly all the soldiers are
members of secret societies which are
ready to break out at tbe first chance.”
CHARLESTON’S OPPORTUNITY.
A Movement for a State Exhibit at
the Atlanta Exposition.
A well-developed movement is on
foot at Charleston, S. C., to have the
state represented at the Atlanta expo¬
sition. This, however, is entirely dis¬
tinct from the movement already
started, and now well under wav, to
have a perfect representation of
Charleston at the great show. The
promoters of the state movement will
ask the legislature for an appropria¬
tion of 825,000 for the purpose of
having the various resources, indus¬
tries, products and general attractions
of the state freely represented at the
Atlanta exposition next year.
