The watrhdna; of the Confirmed Cora miiter'a household waa a, young and frlfky collie who viewed life with the ex- asperating optimism of a real en I ate agent or a millionaire telling young men how to live on $5 a week. With the Impartiality of a wholly promiscuous affection, he loved nearly everybody and everything. -There Wat one exception, however, and this waa the Ureal Dane living and barking across the way. " Kor thin huge and amiable, though dan gerous, neighbor he cherished an ever In creasing hatred, and whenever the big dug Uum within his siKht the collie's barka of fujy and dtflunce would rouse the vil lage. '. . ' The' canine feud waa complicated by the fact, -thst the owner of the two animals Were friends. "Woof-Woof must have aome good rea son for haling thai- dog ho," observed the Hopeful Housewife after one of the col lie' Outbursts of rage. "Ilea such a Jolly, sweet tempered animal aa a rule. Hut 1 Just know thoHe ' two dug are going to have a flg"bt eoonee or later'." "Nonsense!" rejoined tha Confirmed Com muter In'hla most superior manner. "W' oof Woof Is only a long distance bluffer! If he should onee meet that Great Dane Olaf. face to face, he'd never peep! Why, Olaf could paralyse , him with one wag of his tall!" Tile Hopeful Housewife glanced with in dignant pride at her .collie, whose fact had assumed the fatuous expression whlcl. a dog wears when he knows ha Is belu talked about. ' "I know Woof-Woof will never think of the result of a fight before he undertakes It he'll Just sail In! And what's more, 111 bet he'll win!" Then they both remembered an engage ment to call on, the Great Dane's sponsors and owners that evening. I've half a mind to Uke Woof-Woof alone with us. Just to enow you that when he and, Olaf get within fighting range neither of them will even growl." Nevertheless, when they sauntered across the back lawn to ithe domain of Olaf, Woof-Woof bad been) locked safely In the kitchen. The Great Dane was the first of his fam ily to make the callers welcome; and, when every one waa seated, he stationed maelf beside the Hopeful Housewife and tended a huge and friendly paw. "You've made a mash!" commented the Confirmed Commuter and at that mo ment frenzied, sounds, scrapings, leaping1, barka and mournful cries. arose outside the door. - ' .1- ' '"Why! rt' Woof-Woof!" exclaimed the Hopeful Houaewlfe.

This will result In two things, according tq the egg- experts of the bureau of animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture. One is an Increased value for the egg supply to the farmer and the other Is an Increased consumption of eggs In the large centers of population. Jl conservative estimate of the loss to the egg trade every year due to . carelessness and Ignorance, based upon the most care ful investigation by government experts, is J7 per cent. This Is made up of t per cent of dirty eggs, 1 per cent of broken eggs, ft per cent of eggs In which chicks have be gun to .grow, 6 per cent of shrunken or held rtcss, 2ft per cent of Just plain rotten eggs f nd H per oent of moldy and bad flovored hsks ... When It is considered that In the states of Nebraska and Kansas alone, where the egg business is very extensive, the loss repre sents between $2,000,000 and 13.000,000 a year, the gravity of the situation from a business and economic standpoint may be realised, to say nothing of the patience and palate of the "ultimate consumer." The total value" f the egg crop of the tTnlted States every yew Is approximately Vtt0,000.000, - Of the .17 per cent of loss, it is stated by the Department of Agriculture Ifiat fully 15 per cent Is preventable loss. In other words, H6 ,000,000 Is lost to the egg -. ; II ' "Qlvlng orders to men who- are earning twice as much as you might seem a bit strange to any one but a railroad man," a trainmaster on ons of the many western railways remarked. "But that's Just what one has to do," he continued. "Take almoat any railway m the country and you will find that the men who are giving orders are getting pay checks- that look mighty small beside the checks of those who are 'bossed.' "Take the trainmaster, for Instance. . He get a title and tlaO a month or so. .

"He must have broken through the wire screen and followed us," exclaimed Woof Woof's mistress with Ill-concealed elation at her dog's exploit. The collie's master now had him by the collar. The hostess had seised the Great Dane and held him until her husband snapped on a leash. When Olaf had been locked up and Woof-Woof crouched, whining and shiv ering with balked fury, at ' his master's feet, the Hopeful Housewife asked a hopeful question. "Woof-Woof didn't bite Olaf, did her "No!" answered the Confirmed Commu ter, with a painful look, as be bent over and rubbed his left' leg. "He didn't bite Olaf; but one of them I don't know which one took a piece out of my legl" "I'm glad he didn't bite Olaf, after all," she exclaimed when they reached their own home.

Then, if he doesn't suit you after he's bten on the road for a time, you call him In, take his lob away from him, and give soms one else the 1300 a month, while you struggle along on the measly $U0." According to the trainmaster, half the railway "officials" whose names appear In big print on the time cards are receiving less wages than those whom they employ. The average chief dispatcher, who does the major part of the real work in operating a railroad, earns 1300 and gets frtf a month. The division passenger agent, whe gives orders to the passenger conductors, ar ranges for special traine, acts as a buffer between the traveling public and the com plaint department, and who has othar troubles, varied and numerous, finds his pay check amounting to 1S. fUO or fill. There are ezceptlona, of course, to the general rule of low paid officials. The superintendent, who haa charge of a few hundred mUee, may receive anything, from COOS to 85.400 annually,, for running ths division. But under him are half a score men who aid m managing the road and whe receive much less than those they employ. II. la, Kcnaick In Chicago Tribune.

But the clerk was a "dearie" friend. . "Tea, I think so, too, dearie,", she amended. For one glacial instant the satin-gowned lady stared st her. "If your taste In lace is not better than your manners, I do not ears for It," the satin-gowned said, with the cool and calm of the politely-enraged. She laid the laces down and went off.

Ills everyday working name Is Mr. Peanut, and the youth's companion, after a careful survey, asserts it is now recog nised as the great national nut of ths American people. For it is a nut In flavor as well as In name, although botanlcally It is an own cousin of the pea and bean, and in cultivation a sister to ths potato. Only within the last forty years has the peanut become of commercial Importance. Its early story is veiled In obscurity, but it came to this country from tropical America, Uke the potato. In the earliest days of colonisation, and carefree youth and hale old age have shared together the delights which came with it and now the peanut crop is worth st least $12,000,000 each year to ths farmers of the southern states. The peanut la of many varieties, snd locally It has many names. Sold hot in paper bags from the whistling roaster, it is best know to the consuming public, but the fact Is more and more appreciated thst It. has numerous other uses. As meal, as butter, as oil and In confections ths nut becomes a human food, and ths vine, or 'peanut hay," Is liberally used for fodder snd bedding. Moreover, the entire plant Is often used in place of corn for fattening stock. The peanut Is proving a most profitable crop for the southern farmer, especially where the boll-weevil attacks the cotton. It haa the added virtue of not robbing the Uncanny Power of Old-Time Doctors chanlcal aids In diagnosis, says the St. Louts Republic. Their elders had to look at their patients, had to go over them with trained fingers and keen eyes in order to find the disease traces that were written on the hands, ever the body and espe cially upon tho faoo.

They will admit that they might be mistaken in many Instances; that their predictions ara guesswork In many cases, but these sight diagnoses in the clinics and in the hospital observation wards ars In many instances borne out by the subse quent history of the case. The older medical text books speak of the "tactus aradlUs," ths "learned touch." Ths later medical practice does not do much to develop it This was one of the main reliances of the old practitioner who had no microscopes or stethoscopes to aid him In arriving at conclusions. Hs was brought face to face with his patients, without any exact and scientific aids In determining their ailments. Facial colors mean much to these men of the old regime of medicine. They can detect the hectio flush of the tubercular patient from that ruddy hue of health that cosmetics cannot give.'
