The old boy who always thinks" of things
that used to hnppcn whtn ho was yntiiiR
and never happen now was In thu mond
for fniilt-flii'llng, relate tho N'cw York
Tribune. He had been henrd on the do
Kcnorntlon of the mlnco plo nnd thu parting
of tho games of which "prlfoner's base,"
"snnp the whip" nnd "follow y'r master"
wore j?ood Rnmpli'S.
The playing of u hntid orxan turned his
thoughti) n the dlrrrtlon ot music
"What has become of tho accordions,
concrrtlnaK, harmonicas, JewBluirps nnd
bones? Onco upon a time these wero
among tho prlied possessions of a boy, antl
there wero few boyn who cl 11 not carry a
mouth organ or a Jcwshnrp or hoth In the
amo pocket with itiarblis, Jackknlfc, ploccs
of string and other things that only boys
know how to appreciate, Tho comb with a
piece of paper over the Hat tmrfuco was
nlsn a favorlto musical Instrument In those
days, but tho boy of the present time knows
no morn about It than ho does of the mouth
organ, bones or concertina,"
"Where you were mined, In the country,
tip near Sprakcra," said one of the party,
"the musical Instruments which you think
havo gone out of cxlstonco are still as pop
ular as they wero In the days when you
looked upon n canalboat as tho greatest
vessel alloat. Hoys still twang tho Jews
harp up there, and, while thu canalboats
stop nt thn store to load up, tho crew may
possibly hear tho local band practicing a
funeral march In anticipation of tho passing
nway of the man who has been 'given up by
five doctors,' but they will certainly hrar
someone about the landing playing 'Hume,
Bwcct Home on a mouth organ. Tho city
boys may not be customers for thu old style
toy musical Instruments, but those who will
bo city boys In a few years still buy them,
and havo as much fun with them as you
had In the good times of long ago."
Hut tho purchase of tho old-fashioned In
struments are not nil In the country, ac
cording to tho testimony of a promlnont
dealer In musical Instruments. Great quan
titles aro sold In Now York and the com
petition In that lino Is sharp.
"Tho nutoharp, Apollo harp, phonoharp
nnd a number of other similar Instruments
which may bo played by people who have
no knowlcdgo of music," nnld Carl Fischer,
"havo displaced tho accordion to a certain
extent, but that Instrument Is still sold ex
tensively among tho foreign population."
Where AucnrillmiN I.nml.
A strango thing about tho accordion Is
that It lino found Its way Into pawnshops
to such an extent that pcoplo who wish to
buy one go to tho pawnshops first. Tho
pawnbrokers thavo baenme -good customers
for All grades nnd styles ot nccordlons and
concertinas. The "bones" on which .thu
old boy played when ha was at school wero
the real article, sometimes procured from
tho butcher, but moro often from the homo
table. Thoy wero cleaned and acrapod and
ome boys wont so far as to polish them
with pumlco ntonn or knife brick tnkon
from tho kitchen, nut tho "bones" of to
day aro bono In name only, being mado of,
ebony, rosewood, mahogany, olid, ,.othqr(
woods. Thoy sell al'varibtiH prices,' 'from
10 cents to BO cents a set four pieces and
are sold to boys who asplro to honors on
the amateur minstrel stage.
"Tho tambourlno nnd bones," said tho
musical Instrument dealer, "were conspicu
ous features In the old-fashlonod minstrel
shows and when tho burnt cork troupes
traveled about tho country they created a
demand for these Instruments. Dut tho
minstrel shows aro not what thoy were,
bones aro back numbers and boys who go
to the performances which have takun
tho placo of tho minstrel show prefor to
try other 'acts Introduced by tho vaudeville
pcoplo to spondlng thor time with . old
fashioned bones. Hut still, bones nro sold
and tambourlno nro not dead stock."
fltilmtltiitr fur the Oiiiiili,
Tho zobo, which Is mado In many styles
and shapes, lias taken the placo of tho
comb as a musical Instrument, nnd children
make Juit as much noise and as good
music on this little instrument ns their,
fathers did on tho comb. Thore may bo a
talllnn off In tho sale ot Jewsharns. but
still they are carried In slock by nearly
every notion establishment, nnd In the ltttla
mores In tho residence districts', whero
school children are tho largest customers,,
the Jewsharp Is considered as staple an
article as a top or glass marbles. Jews-,
harps cost tho retailer from 20 qcnts to
$3X0 a dozen, tho high grade article being,
known as "Irish Jawsharps." Tho little
stores where children buy their slato pen
cils, candy, plnwheels and paper dolls aro
also good places to visit If one wishes to
bo assured that tha harmonica, or mouth
organ, Is still a popular article of trade.
In theso little plnces tho low grado article
la kept for salo at prices ranging from 2
cents to a dime, nut In Iho department
stores and musical Instrument establish
ments harmonicas with various attach
ments and pocullar makes are for rnle at
prices as high as $2 ench. Great quanti
ties of thtso Instruments aro sent to the
distant parts of the country, nnd, where
larger musical Instruments nro scarce, the
music producbd by mouth organs, nc
cordtans and concertinas may bo heard as
frequently now as It was heard In the old
boy's home forty yenrs ago.
Tho ocarina, an Instrument mado of burnt
clay and Bhaped llko a gourd, was not
known In the days of the mouth organ's
popularity, but It has become popular, and
largo numbers of the queer Instruments aro
now sold at prices ranging from 25 cents
to 2.
CONCERNING &NIG0RA GOATS
Vnluntilr Anlninln for runner with
llruwH-Hlililen liitml Fleeee I'll)
lnterent on In ventmeiit. i
Two years ago K, C. Johnston of Law
rence, Kan., had 200 aero of pasture land
on his farm near Liwrencc. Hrush arid
weeds had killed out tho blurgrads. It
was overrun with buckbrush and sumac,
to havo cleared It by chopping and grub
bing would have cost hundreds of dol
lars. Johnston purchased 1.0C0 Angora
goats and turned them loose on his waste
land, Today tho 200 acres of land form one
of the finest pastures In Douglas county
Tho clearing of It did not cost Johnston
n cent. In fact, ho made money on tho
deal. The goats did It.
"Thcro aro great possibilities for tlr
Kansas farmer In tho Angora guat," sa(4
Johnston to a correspondent of the Kan
sas City Star. "It used nlone for clearing
brush, they are a good Investment. Acres
of valueless land can be transformed Into,
pasturo by a herd of Angoras In two or
threo years. Thn fleece ot tho, goats wilt
pay the Interest on the money Invosted In
them and enough besides to pay for keep
ing them. If properly managed tho Iloel:
will double Itself yearly, enabling' tlv
farmer to sell his goats and come out with
his land cleared and money In his pocket,
A browser Instend of a grazer, thn Angora
prefers weeds and brush to 'grass nnd will
kill the brush every time by eating off
the leaves and bark. Once dead, the stems
soon rot away and fall, removing the last
hindrance to the growth of grass.
"Ono who has ever seen the Angora goat
browse can ere. tha there Is some founda
tion for the goa' tl tin cau Joke of the
comic papers. TLc Angora will tnt the
leaves from every tree and brush that
grows In Kansas and when tho leaves are
gono ho will tako to tha bark. The Angora
goat will cat every native weed except mul
len and burdock, Smartwecd Is an every
day dish for the coat. Jltneon weed Is a
rare trent and tho bloom of the Canada
thistle Is a delicacy for which the goal
will travel n long way. Only when thcro
Is no more brush (o conquer will the goat
cat grass. Horses and cattle will feed in J
the same field. The goat makes from folhge- i
tho richest of fertilizers nnd deposits It j
on the highest and poorest places on the ;
farm. ,
"Asdo from Its value In cleaning land, 1
tho Angora goat is u money maker with a J
futuru In Kansas, It produces a line qual
ity of mohair, used in the manufacture of i
plush and flno dress goods, which can bu
sold readily, at a prlct ranging from 30 to
40 rents a pound. The pelts undressed .
bring from $1.50 to J3.S0 each, according to
the length nnd nnencas of tho hair. An- j
gora polls make n soft and beautiful robo j
that may ho dyed any color. Angora meat j
which is seen occasionally on the market ,
ns 'well dressed mutton' Is said to be a j
dainty dish, without n trace of that !
'woolly' flavor which makes mutton ob-,
J-ctlonabte, The follaga upon which the ,
K&nt feeds gives to tho flesh n tnste which
must rrsemmos mo voninon oi tnc necr, an
animal which In Its habits: of life Is very
much like the Ancorn.
"The capital required to beuln raising
goats Is small. The goals rcqulro very
little attention. A hen! of fifty high grude
docs, u good starter for an Inexperienced
man, can be purchased tit a price any
whero from I. .10 to $C a head. A good,
pure bred buck costing, say ?50, should bo
obtained nt tho same time, and by breed
ing up eliminating nnd disposing of tho
lower grade progeny and retaining for
breeding purposes those which approach tho
standard of the buck a wholo herd of puro
breed goats will ho evolved In n fow years.
On scrubby, brush Infested laud, which Is
thu Ideal location for the goat, tho animal
will provide for Itself durlug the summer
nnd corn fodder, straw or coarse hay, with
a lltlU: grain in March and April to
strengthen thcni tor the'ktddlns season, is
all that Is required for.Uicm in wluter.
Tholr long hair protcqfsr them from dry
cold nnd tho only shcltefrequlrcd Is a
sued open at tnc soutn anu ram iigni to
protect them from snow or wet, which
freezes on their heavy coat of hair and
chills them.,
"Tho low grade goat, tho result of a cross
botween tho puro Angora, and the qrdlnary
Mexican goat, comes from Texas, the An
gora goat center ot the United States. Tho
mohair bhoarcd from this animal is not ns
heavy or of as line quality as that obtained
from tho pun bred animal. Two and one
half to four pounds Is the.- average yield of
tho high grade goat, while extra fine, puro
bred goats will often shear from eight to
ten pounds. Tho second cross between a
tullblood Anftora sire and a Mexican dam
,gtvcs n goat wnoso pen, is vniuamc tor
rugs, whllo the product of the fifth cross
gives a goat which Is passed by the breed
ers as tullblood. Hence,, with a herd of
common goats of a second or third cross, It
Is a short matter to grade up a herd of full
bloods.'' In a bulletin concerning the Angora goat,
Issued by tho Department ot Agriculture
Is tho following regarding the use of goats
for meat:
"In building up a flock of Angoras from
common goats the males must not be per
mitted to grow into bucks of breeding age,
and even; qmong. the high .grades tljcre are
comparatively tew bucks that should bo
retained as such for breeding purposes.
They should bo castrated early. The great
majority of these wethers, especially If
they aro of tho first or second cross, do
not produce sufficient mohair of good qual
ity to wnrant flock raisers In keeping them.
Theso should bo converted Into meat as
soon as largo enough, Those wethers and

Ilenncy Vest, 72 years old, and Mrs. Mary
Mossman, also 72, were married at the
Kansas City court house Iftst week by Jus

riew century.

"Doth of us have lived, alonO for a num
ber ot years," said tho old gentleman after
the ceremony. "We've both been married
before, nnd for that reason we felt moro
lonoly. So we Just decided wo would get
married, nnd came to Kansas City to have
tho kuot tied," , ,
Stephen Hamilton Taufpuand Mrs. Bea
trix M. Tauton of Brookly'n.started on tholr
bridal trip last Tuesday, although that day
will be tho first anniversary of their mar
riage. Mr. Teuton Is a telegraph operator
and Docame acquainted "with his wife, who
Is tho daughter of Dr. F. W. Wuuderllch,
shortly after his arrival, in ,thls country
from Iondcn throo years ago. Dr. Wun-
lorllch had inado arrangements to tako his
daughter to uuropo eartv lasi summer, anu
tho latter and Mr. Tauton decided to get
married before her departure and to keep
tho matter n strict secret until aftor her
return from Kuropo. Mr. Tauton resumod
his visits to tho house, nnd U was only n
qouple of dayg ngo that the marriage se
cret was disclosed.
A drama that included n good many
phases of western border life wus enacted
at Oreensburg. Ind., recently, when Slim"!
Davis and a deputy, both heavily iirmed,
.wjnt out tha Michigan road to arrest a
horse thief that had been reported ns
headed for Qieeusburg from Sbclbyvllle.
At tho city limits the officers met a horso
nd buggy and commanded the driver to
halt. Tho lattor lashed tho horse and
started on a run through tho city with thu
ofBccrs in pursuit. The sheriff waa whip
ping his horse, nnd at every Jump there vas
n pistol shot from the pursuers. Tho chase
ofoui-nd about midnight, and tho fow mon
on tho streets were commonded by the
sli(Tff to Join ,ln tho race.
Tho clatter of the running horses, the
shouts of the men nnd the firing of pistols
nwoko tho people In tho housos along tho
way. When tho aupposjd thlet reached a
livery barn ho turned the horse (u. Jumped
from the bugs?' and hid In a pile of straw.
The sheriff and a. crow I of excited follow
ers poured Into tho barn and began' to
search for Iho supposed thief. Meanwhile
tho owner of tho barn appeared and Identi
fied the supposed stolen outfit ns his own,
which ho had hired to Forest Edwards, tho
young professor of a Birmingham, Ala.,
college.
. Kdwaxds had driven the horeo to the
country (o call on a young woman. From
his hi ling placo In tho straw tho professor
overheard the 'explanation and veuturcd
Into view. He was so frightened ho could
hardly 6pcak, He thought robbers were
chasing him through the streets. Two bul
lets struck the buggy, and the professor
had a close call tor his life. The officers
claim they shot Into the air, but the bul
lets In tho buggy tell a different story.

does which produco a fair quality of mo
hair may be retained for that purposo for
a few years and then killed for meat. They
aro not, however, so good for this purpose
as tho younger animals,
"Tiere Is a dtep-seated prejudice
against the use of goats of any kind for
meat, This Is founded upon Ignorance
rather than experience. The most 111
smelling "billy" of the worst possible type
Is by no means the standard of goat meat
(or tho whole of the goat family. As far
back aa Abraham's day we read of goats
bclnr; used for meat (very likely Angoras),
and this, too, when there wero many cattto
and sheep, Certainly no prejudice existed
against them at that time.
"There Is not much to ne said about th
meat of tho common goat. It Is not so
generally used as that of Angoras. The
flesh of their kids Is considered very flno,
and In some sections of the country goats
of all ages are killed for meat. There are
comparatively few common goats In tho
United States, and no attempt Is being
made to put them upon the market, The
current report that goats aro sold to the
packers In the largo cities for canning
purposes Is true In thu main, but refers to
thn Angora grades. The discussion of
this question In this paper deals with tho
Angoras of all grades,
Tho flrsh of the Angora Is exceedingly
nutritious and palatable. Shropshire lambs,
which are considered as among the best
kinds of meat arc said not to bo superior
to a well fed and well cooked kid. In tho
southwest there animals are as readily sold
for meat ns sheep and the market has
never been overstocked. A gentleman In
Texas found a ready market for his canned
Angora mutton, but was compelled to close
his cannery because the supply of goats
was not nearly sufficient to supply tho de
mand. In tho northwest tho principal use
of the Angora Is for clearing bushy land
and consequently thoy are not so extensively
used for food. However, In nearly every
locality there some havu been killed for
mutton and there has never been a deroga
tory statement concerning its quality, so
far as tho writer Is able to loam."

Chicago,
What led the secretary to make the an
nouncement ns to tho prospective husband
bounty bill was the published account of the
lecture In which Prof. Starr of the Uni
versity of Chicago mado the sensational
statement before his class In anthropology
that the marvelous advanco of tho Japanese
in the learning and civilization of the west
ern countries had proved too rapid and was
making them tho victims of an epidemic ot
brain fever that threatened their extinction
ns a nation.
"Statistics show that students lu Japan
are affected moro by eye troubles, from
over-study than by brain fever," said Sec
retary Yomma, "It Is true that our young
men are vory studious, but our young
womon are not expected to bo scholar).
They aro encouraged in the cultivation
ot feminine graces and charniB and
it is becoming a fad with some
of our statesmen to advocate a liberal

herself sufficiently fascinating to cause a
young man at college to forsake his books
long enough to get married."

but Mary wasn't ready. .She had "nothing
to wear." She waved goodby to little
Frances with one hand and with the other
raised the deadly acid to her Hps. The
child saw her tall and screamed.
Mary was dying when, tho neighbors, at
tracted by Frances' shrieks, ran in. The
husband, empty-banded, came in while his
child wile was breathing her last. He be
came almost Insane with grief, threatened
his own life and refused to be pacified. He
told the policeman the story ot bis romantic
wedding to Mary, ot the parents' opposition
and ot the smallness ot his wages.
The courtship ot Samuol Pushky, crayon
artist, ot 159 Itldge street, nnd Mary Millal
of 196 Ridge street, ended in a runaway
marriage in tho Essex Market police court,
relates tho New York Sun. Pushky came
here from Poland about eighteen months
ago with the Intention ot winning tamo In
his chosen profession, but like many an
other artist he found it bard work. His
specialty was crayon portrait making, but
ne had lots of trouble with his customers'
whiskers. Sometimes he would work for
days on a picture for a Hentor street mer
chant, only to havo it rejoutod because the
whiskers looked as though tho wind was
blowing through them.
"Ach mcln Gott," ho wns driven to cry to
a frlond ono day. "Is dot all dore is to art

But about a year ago Pushky found a pic

"Such a pcautlful girl," ho remarked to
the owner of the studio. "I couldt lofe a

"She lf aroundt here fcomevere," said the
studio man.
Pushky borrowed the picture, had an on

worked with an enthusiasm bom of love.

demanded Puchky to Roundsman Casey, ot

was allowed to kiss the bride,
nutrient, we are such creatures of habit and
Impulse we must cultivate much common

an unnatural and artificial craving for such
substances as are most questionable, If not
absolutely harmful, for the season, or In
dividual conditions.
ChutiltliiK Diet In lint Wentlier.
While It Is best to avoid as much as pos
sible tho heavier diet of fat meat during
tne nottest weatner, one must not forgat
that It Is not the lean meats so much as the
sugar and starches that are the heat-pro-duclng
foods and best to bo avoided except
In small quantities and accompanied by such
other foodc as will counter their propensity
to givo out undue amount of heat In the
system. As an example, rice would seem a
more acceptable starchy vegetablo than the
potato for summer diet on account of Its
delicacy In flavor and appearance, but It 1
sliould be accompanied by acid fruits, to-.
matoes or greens lo be entirely sultablo for
hot weather. As potatoes, new or old, have
not their full amount of starch they do
not rank as high In heat-giving properties.
unless we consider the sugar some varieties
contain.
But with plenty of fresh fruit acids and
grcon salad vegetables to cool tho blood
ono need not make a too radical change In
the nature of the food substances except
whero It seems expedient to do so, for
very often tho fruits and green vegetables
found In the markets are In such condition
as to render them moro harmful for hot
weather' diet thnn a lean meat diet nnd
the less perishable vegotablos. That God
given attribute, common sense, must be
our guide In feeding thoso bodies of oura
and guarding us against direct violations
of the laws of health In all seasons,
A Cold Fruit Soup These are refresh
ing on a hot summer day nnd nro greatly
relished at tho beginning of n meal They
must be carefully made and flavored, how
ever, or they nro rather Insipid. They
should have rather nn acid flavor and must
bo served Ico cold, Croutons of brend
sprinkled with n little sugar and toasted
lu tho oven are usually served with fruit
soups. The Juice of raspberries nnd cur
rants flavored with a Httlo stick of cinna
mon, nutmeg and lomon Juice, with equal
quantity ot Julco antl water, slightly sweet
ened and thickened with arrowroot makes
a delicate and tasty soup. Do not ubo
moro than n teaspoontul of arrowroot to
each pint ot liquid and' cook until the soup
is clenr.
Oreon Pea Soup Cover two quarts of
shelled peas with Just enough water to
cook without burning, adding a tew sprigs
of mint and a teaspoontul of sugar, unless
tho pens are fresh from tho vine, Cover
the pea pods with cold water and cook one
hour. When the peas aro dono rub them
through a coarse sieve, moistening with
tho water In which tho pods havo been
cooked. Add tho pulp to the water drained
from the pods with a large sllco ot onion;
salt and pepper to tasto. Cook for ten
minutes; then remove tho onion. Add a
tnblespoonful of butter or half a cupful
of rich cream and a very little thickening
If the soup Is too thin.
Broiled Spanish Mackerol Havo tho fish
drawn from the gills, removing tho head
nnd fins. Cut the fish down tho back and
removo the spine. Wash and dry quickly
and thoroughly; sprlnklo with salt nnd
pepper. Beat the yolks of two eggs
slightly; add An equal quantity of oil and
dip the fish Into this; then cover well with
bread crumbs and broil over a clear, rnbder
ately hot fire. Serve with lemon sauce.
Lemon Sauce Put half a cupful of butter
In a lined saucepan; add the Juice of a
large lemon and a little aalt and pepper;
atand the saucepan over boiling water And
beat until thick and hot; thon mix lu care
fully the beaten yolks of two eggs and add
a little minced parsley and serve at once.
Boiled Corn' Beef with Spinach Pure o A
piece from the fancy brisket Is best for this
purpose, aa it Is fine-grained and close In
fiber and can be trimmed Into better shape.
It will also be nicer for slicing cold. A cut
from this part ot the beef will require
longer cooking than tho looser grained
piece from neck or ribs. Cover the meat
with cold water and bring slowly to boiling
point; then keep the water at a gentle but
continuous bubble until the meat is tender,
A piece weighing tour pounds should have
at least five hours. When the meat Is done
serve it nicely arranged on a bed of spinach
puree garnished' with carrots, turnips and
beets boiled, sliced and cut Into fancy
hapes.
Spinach Puree Cook tho spinach plain,
In plenty of boiling water, drain and chop
very flno; season with salt, pepper, butter
and a little lemon Juice or hot vinegar;
moisten with a little of the liquor the ment
was cooked In. Heap this on a hot dish and
place the meat on top.
Carrots -with Fine Herbs Wash and
scrape six or eight young, tender carrots;
cut them into slices about half an Inch
thick; cover with plenty of cold water and
cook until tender. When half done add
salt; melt tw level tablespoonfuls of but
ter In a saucepan; put In a medium-sized
onion chopped fine and stir over tho fire
until well browned; then add two cupfuls of
water or' clear broth and let boll for five
minutes. When tho carrots are tlono drain
them and put them Into the broth; ndd a
level tablespoonful of minced parsley and
boll five minutes longer. Take from the,
fire; season with pepper and 'alt and a
tablespoonful of lemon Julco. Turn Into a
hot dish and garnish with small triangular
pieces of bread dipped Into a mixture of
milk and egg and fried.''
Tomato Pilau Skin enough rtpo tomatoes
to make a quart when pressed through a
fine sieve; add an equal quantity of good
broth. Chop fine two onions nnd fry them
a golden brown In a llttlb oil. Drain tho
onions and add thorn to tho tomatoes and
broth; add salt to taste Place over the
fire and when it bolls add a pound of well
washed rice; cover nnd nllpw to simmer
gently until rlco Is tender and the
moisture absorbed. Then add two tablo
spoonfuls of butter; cover again and let
stand on Bids of the range for twenty
minutes. Turn out Into a hot dish, Bprlnklo
with paprika anil serve at once. This makes
a good luncheon dish or hot sido dish to
serve with cold meat or fowl for dinner.
New Potato Salad Scrape six or eight
new potatoes; cut them Into rather thick
slices and then Into fancy shapes or neat
dice. Cook In plenty of boiling salted
water until thoy are tender, but not well
enough dono to break; drain and moisten
them woll with French dressing and set
nslde to get cold. Scald, peel and chill a
sufficient number of small, firm, ripe toma
toes to make equal quantity of tho two
vegetables; sprinkle French dressing ovor
the tomatoes and then mix carutully with
tho potatoes. Line a salnd dish with crisp
lettuce leaves; fill In with tho vegetables
and garnish with a lltlo minced ham
strewn ovor the top and minced gherkins,

gelatine with a cup of cold water and let
