Hill of the National ob servatory ro describing the duties of an astioflomical corps during an eclipse. "The eclipse," he said, "may only last five minutes. Each man in the party has a certain line of work map ped out for him during these precious minutes. One man makes hurried pencil sketches. Another man pho tographs. A third man takes observa tions, while a foL?3i jota- down his remarks. "And so it goes. An astronomical corps during an eclipse is a very busy body. An interruption would be a J unwelcome to it as as ' Prof. Hill smiled. "An interruption would be as unwel come to it as it once was to a young friend of mine in Elizabeth. "My friend, according to the story, was calling on his sweetheart, who lived on Elizabeth's outskirts. "As the young man was taking leave for the night, his voice, as he stood on the piazza, rose passionately in the still air. " 'Just one,' he said. 'Just one.' "Then the young girl's mother in terrupted, calling from her bedroom window: " 'Just one? No, it ain't quite that yet But it's close on to 12, so I think ye'd better Be goin just the same." VHY HE WANTED THE RECIPE. Ingredient; of Mince Pie Made Sub ject of Bet. "Once, when I as a reporter." said David Belasco at a holiday dinner, "I spent iws days with a gang of tramps in order to go. material for an article on tramp life "These tramps were a merry lot. They had as many stories to tell as the end man of a minstrel show. The excellent mince pie that we have just been eating reminds me of a mince pie episode old by one of the wan derers. "He said that a friend of his, one cold day in January, knocked at the kitchen doer of a farmhouse. "'Well,' said the farmer's wife. 'You here again?' "'Yes, ma'am," said the tramp re spectfully. 'I want to "know, ma'am, ir you'll be kind enough to give me the recipe for that mince pie that 1 had here yesterday?' "'Well, the idea!' cried the farm er's wife. 'Land sakes, man, what do you want that recipe for?' "'To settle a bet.' replied the tramp. 'My pardner says you use three cups of Portland cement to one of molasses, but I claim it's only two and a half.'" Almost Sublime. "Yes," said Pa Nuritch, as he reread his son's letter. "I believe Jonathan is goin to be a real poet, blame me if I don't. Um wants another hun dred, too. Broke, he says, because he has had to help some of the other boys who are tryin to work their way through. It seems to me more'r. half the fellers at that college must be workin' their way through, accord in' to the amount of help Jonathan has to give 'em. Oh, well, I'm glad he's doin' it I was a poor boy myseli once." "But what makes you think he's go in' to be a poet, pa?" asked Joanthan's eager mother. "Why, he says here, right at the be ginnin' of his letter: 'Yestere'en I did possess a "buck," but, ah, 't has went, and ere I send you this I e'en must scare up one more cent.' By George, ma, that's comin' pretty close to bein sublime." Recognized His Step. Gen. Horace Porter was talking about a French artist. "The man is talented, and a good conversationalist," he said, "but he is too gushing. He is oversym pathetic. In his desire to be agreeable he goes too far. "Perhaps I can best explain what 1 mean by a little story the story of a young girl. "This young girl's sweetheart said to her one evening: "'Were j'ou aware that I passed your house last night?' "'Of course, I was,' she said. 'Do you think I would not know your step? "But he, at this, grew grave and distrait, for he had passed in a cab." Via Crucls. "The vision of dawn is leisure. But the truth of day is toil." The sun comes up like a great, red rose. The perfume over the wide world blows. And O. to work In the pathways fair With the rose trimmed beds and scented air. And far at the garden's end a nook With You and a poet's dream set book! The sun goes down like a great red fire. And dies in ashes of vain desire. For my pathway lay outside the wall That girdled You and the roses tall. And my footprints show a deeper red And a crown of thorn is on my head! Yet the vision stays with me all day Sweet solace along the rough highway Till the nails of Toil and spear of Want. Griefs bitter cup and the jeer and taunt Are touched by Sleep, and You softl- glide Where I, with the dream, am crucified! Clarence Urmy, in Smart Set. Lava Increases Mountain. ML Matutu, on the island of Savaii, Samoan group, has covered thirty square miles of land around it with lava, and a stream twelve miles wide is flowing into the sea. The lava is thrown up 1,200 feet and, at latest ac counts, had increased the hight of the mountain, since August 21, 1905, by 3,000 feet. Has Few Visitors. Fanny Y. Cory, one of the foremost American illustrators of child life, lives near Helena, Montana, and she describes her home as "just a little yellow and white dot on the shore of a big open lake, where a few water fowl and the potman twice a week are about the only visitors." Filipino Students. At the present time here are 178 receiving an education at the expense of the Philippine government. The candidates are selected by examina tion and one stipulation is that they will enter the Philippine civtt service after khey have compIeJM their tidies. Cats That Eat Olives. A woman in Philadelphia has re cently discovered that her six cats are passionately fond of olives. She says they will leave milk or fish or any of the foods that cats are sup posed to love if any one offers them olives. Although they are an acquir ed taste with human beings, cats seem to take to them naturally, and she found that the cats in the houses of her friends seemed to be quite as fond of them as were her own-pets. In a Berry Bog. The cranberry season Is eagerly awaited by the poorer classes of Cape Cod, whole families journeying 'to the bog with provisions and cooking uten sils for an extended picnic. The work is easily learned, and a child of five can easily pick four measures a day, which means an earning of forty cents. An adult picker can gather from thirty to forty measures a day, which is good wages. "Old Man" Queerest of Cacti. Stranger looking objects perhaps never grew on earth than the cactus which is called the "Old Man." . This plant, instead of being covered with the ordinary pickles, is adorned with a mass of fine white hair, which re sembles nothing so much as the sil vered locks of an elderly man. A fine specimen of the Old Man in the plant kingdom, as among the human race, is a thing to( evoke much admiration. a Imitations Close to Nature. Imitation soap, looking exactly like the real article, but made of clay, grease, scent and a little pink dye, is of Chinese origin, and the native clerks in China and Indian carry their pencils behind their ears in imitation of their Caucasion bosses, yet the pencils ' contain no lead, since they are carried only for ornament, the brush being used for all actual work. What Man Hates; What He Loves. He hates a woman who keeps him waiting. He expects his wife to wait at home for him all day, but he chafes if he has to wait for her five minutes while she is dressing. But he loves the woman who is coldest to him, the man who can whip him in a fight, the dog that he has to keep muzzled and the lobster that disagrees with him. Exchange.

Sold by all dealers at 25c. and 50c Swift & Company Year 1905 Sales. The total distributive sales for 1905 exceeded $200,000,000. This total is realized from the sale of fresh meats (beef, mutton and pork), provisions, produce (poultry, butter and eggs), soaps, glues, oils, bones, fertilizers, feathers, casings, hides, wools, pelts and other by-products derived from cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry. Margin of Profit. The industry is operated on a mar gin of less than 2 cents to each dol lar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell at retail. Their entire output is sold at wholesale to many thousands of dealers in various parts of the world. There are hundreds of local slaughter ers throughout the United States, who buy their live stock in competi tion with the packer doing an inter state and international business. Like wise the packer must sell in compe tition with the local slaughterers. There are no secret processes in the industry, no complicated and expen sive factories, and as live stock can be purchased in almost every hamlet and city, and the preparation of meats is simple in the extreme, local slaughtering will long remain a fac tor in the production of fresh meats and provisions. Economic Advantages. The large packing nouses will, how ever, always have these advantages: Locations at the chief live stock cen ters, with the opportunity to buy the best live stock; manufacturing in large quantities, at the minimum of expense; utilization of all waste mate rial; refrigeration; mechanical appli ances; highly efficient business man agement These advantages are re flected In the quality of the packer's output, a quality that has reached its highest development in the products bearing the name and brand of "Swift."

The same methods of pur chasing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail at all cities. At Chicago, which is the largest market, there are about two hundred and fifty buyers, repre senting packers, local slaughterers in various cities and exporters. Of this number, less than a score are employ ed by Swift & Comrany. The farmer ships his live stock to Chicago, consigns them to a commis sion firm at the Union Stock Yards, who sees that they are unloaded and put in pens. Then the buyers inspect them, make their offers to the com mission dealer, who accepts or rejects as his judgment dictates. AH buying must be finished at 3 o'clock each day, and the buyer must pay spot cash. If the commission man has no satis factory offers, he can hold his stock over to the next day. He gets his commission from the farmer, and nat urally strives to get the highest pos sible price for his client Wholesale Distributing Houses. A wholesale distributing house is a giant refrigerator, but instead of shelves there are trolley rails, from which are suspended hooks to hang the carcasses. Some of the houses cost as much as a hundred thousand dollars to build and equip. As a rule they are of pressed brick, the insides 'being lined floor, walls and ceiling with highly polished hardwood. The floors are covered dally with fresh sawdust, and all are kept rpotlessly clean. There are over three hundred of these wholesale houses In various cities of the United States, and the public it always welcome to visit them. Packing Plants.
