As long as people knew no better, they were j
content to do without the railroad, the tele-1
' phone, Jcc., but who, In this progressive an'\ ;
would dispense with these necessities now?
So it Is with llour. As long as you use inferior
flour aud know nothing of the merits of
Bransford's "Clifton," you may be sutlstied
with your bread, cake and pastry, but if you
try one sack of "Clifton," the "cake Is dough"
with all interior flours. L T. ?k T. .M. Miller.!
Emphasizes ils Superiority.
The best test of the merit of an article Is
the way it sells. Bransford Mills. Owens-1
k boro, Ky., where "Clifton" flour Is made, run j
Highland day. and yet they cannot supply j
? the demand for "Clifton." In this city, as |
r elsewhere, it is the standard by which other i
flours are gauged, and the statement that "it I
is Just as good as "Clifton" only mnkeR lis superiority
more pronounced. L. T. & T. M.

DOES A BABY PAY?
A. Father's View of the Entries Made 1
on the Family Ledger.
Docs a 2-year-old baby pay for itself up
to the time it reaches that interesting
age? Sometimes I think not. I thought
so yesterday when my own baby slipped
into my study and "scrubbed" the carpet
and his best white dress with my bottle
of ink. lie was playing in the coal hod
ten minutes after a clean dress was put
on him, and later in the day he pasted CO
cents' worth of postage stamps on tlw
parlor wall and poured a dollar's worth
of the choicest white rose perfumery out
of the window "to see it wain."
Then he dug out the center of a nicely
baked loaf of cake and was found in the
middle of the dining room table with the
sugar bowl between his legs and most of
___ the contents In his stomach.
" ' He has already cost $100 in doctor's
bills, and I feel that I am right in attributing
my few gray hairs to the misery I
endured walking the floor with him at I
night during the first year of his life.
What has he ever done to pay me for :
that?
Ah! I hear his little feet pattering
along out in the hall. I hear his little
ripple of laughter because he has escaped
from his mother and has found his way
up to my study at a forbidden hour. But
the door is closed. The worthless little
vagabond can't get in, and I won't open
it for him. No, I won't. I can't be disturbed
when I'm writing. He can just
cry if he wants to. I won't be bothered
for? "Rat, tat, tat," go his dimpled
knuckles on the door. I sit in silence.
, "Rat, tat, tat." _
1 T nit nprfectlv still.
"Papa/" " " <
No reply. ' '
"Peeze, papa." '
Grim silence.
"Baby turn in?peeze, papa.'*
He shall not come in.
"My papa."
I write on.
"Papa," says the little voice; "I lub my
papa. Peeze let baby in."
I am not quite a brute; and I throw
open the door. In he comes with out,
stretched little arms, with shining eyes,
l l,s* with laughing ta.cc. I catch him up into
my arm? and his warm, soft, little aims
go around my neck, the not very clean litLND
tie cheek is laid close to mine, the baby
eral voice says sweetly:
" -e "I lub my papa."
ch I Does he pay?
it to Well, I guess he does! He has cost me
many anxious days and nights. He has
cost me time and money and care and
self sacrifice. He may cost me pain and
sorrow. He has cost much. But he has
paid for It aH again and again in whispering
those three little words into my
ears, "I lub papa."
Our children pay when their very first
feeble little cries fill our hearts with the
(mother love and the father love that
ought never to fail among all earthly passions.

THE SPEED OF BIRDS.
It Is Not Nearly So Great u Has Been
Generally Asmiined.
If you consult the usually accepted authorities
on the speed of birds in their
i flight, you are likely to be misled by an
\;J exaggeration of from 100 to 300 per cent.
This is because figures have been given
on hearsay, appearance and very superficial
observation. But recently American,
ja# English and French observers have been
comparing notes and are practically
-Tp agreed, after most careful calculation,
on the speed of the best known birds. ,
.ui? tiibt with the carrier pigeon
kUlC ?
vor and have made him a base of comparison.
He has heretofore been credited
iere with. 110 miles an hour, but it is now j
;tc., agreed that be is entitled to 50. A quite
recent long distance, carefully conducted
. test of 592 miles, from the Shetland is
lands to London, showed that the most
)ur" rapid pigeons made 37 miles an hour. ,
thy On shorter distances none made more
than 50 miles.
Because frigate birds have been seen j
far from land and have been supposed
aj0 not to fly by night or to rest on the water
they have been credited with a speed of
from 150 to 200 miles an hour. If they
did tly at that speed, they would have to
jyj overcome an atmospheric pressure of
, from 112 to 130 pounds to the square
foot of flying surface. Thepe is no cer?
tainty that they fly more rapidly than a
passenger pigeon or that they do not fly i
at night or do not sleep on the water.
The swallow, that is indeed a rapid [
'? is flier, has been credited with ISO miles
an hour, but he must be cut down to G5
for miles, and the marten is five miles behind
; Co- him, though authorities have placed him ,
T(f>e, ten miles ahead.
l/ai-I The teal duck is brought down from
140 to 50 miles an hour. The mallard is
rails five miles slower and flies the same as the
you| canvasback, while both of these are live ,
r . I miles an hour ahead of the wild goose and
nice eider duck.
ingR The pheasant makes 38 miles an hour, ,
which is three miles ahead of the prairie
Sf> chifken and quail, though the latter ap- J
1 a" perirs to fly much faster on account of j
his temporary burst of speed that seldom |
exceeds 200 feet. The crow flies 25 miles j
an hour.
Small birds appear to fly more rapidly |
ilti- than the large ones and have deceived I
many observers. The humming bird does ,
not fly as fast as many awkward appear- ,
ing, very much larger, slow flopping

MORE FLAGPOLES THAN EVER.
Growing: Deposition Amonar the P**?
pie to Show Their Colors.
"Flaspoios," said a uian who makei
them, "are the pick of the forest whcDce
Uiey come, up to uu rert IU icugiu, ana
thi.s would include the great majority,
they are commonly of spruce; tlagpoles
more than t?0 feet long are of pine.
"The spruce poles come from New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The pine
poles come from northern New York and
Michigan.
"Up to 50 feet in length and a i50 foot
staff would be counted a good, big staff.
Flagpoles cost, all set up, truck on the
top and halyards rove, ready to bend on
the llag, from $1 to $1.25 a foot. The
cost depends somewhat on the pole and
Bomewliat on the situation, the latter
question involving the dilliculties attending
setting the pole up. Longer poles
cost proportionately more. A 75 foot
pole might cost, set up ready for use,
$150. Flagpoles for buildings are sometimes
made up to SO feet in length,' but
not often. .
"A 50 foot pole of the usual proportions,
which would be 10 inches In diameter
at the butt and 4 inches at the
top, would weigh about S50 pounds. A
75 foot pole would weigh about 1,500
pounds, so that when you put up a pole
of that size you would be standing upon
one end a weight of three-quarters of a
ton.
"Of conrse the flagpole must be secure'
ly set up. There are two ways of mounting
a flagpole. One is to step it, ruuning
the lower end of the pole through the
roof as you would run a mast through the
deck of a boat: The other way is to set
the butt of the pole in a shoe placed on
the roof. The very tallest poles are always
stepped through the roof.
"A good flagpole, properly put up and
properly cared for, is long lived. It might
wear as long as the building on which it
was placed. A flagpole really ought to be
painted every year. Flagpole painting ia
done by the riggers employed by flagpole
makers, by steeple climbers, by men who
make a business of it, who go about seeking
flagpoles to paint. To have a flagpole
carefully and properly painted costs,
according to the size of the pole, $5 to
$10.
"Flagpoles are made nowadays rathei
longer, if anything, than formerly. Theii
greater length is to make them more
nearly proporuonjue to ioe mgucr uuuuings.
.
"There are now sold more flagstaffs
than ever before In proportion to the pop
ulation. The law requiring the flying ol
the flag from schoolhouses has increased
the actual number of poles, and the pres'
ence of those poles and the flying of thi
flag from them has prompted the raising
of other poles. I think also that people
are more likely now to put up flagpoles
than they formerly wore; anyway, thai
they have more disposition now than ever
to show their colors."?New York Sun.
ELEVATORS SAVING DAYS' WORK.
Figures of an Old Man "Who Once
Climbed Weary Stair*.
Recently an old man stood in the corridor
of a big otfice building, with watch
in hand, making figures from time to
time on the back of an envelope. There
were many who wondered what he was
doing. '' r
He was computing how much time the
modern elevators in our high buildings
save to men in a day, and to one who
spoke to him he told how for years,
away back in the sixties, be had worked
in the sixth story of a building which
was then one of the highest in the city
or the country either, for that matter;
how, though young and spry then, he
had dreaded that climb up six sheer stair
flights; how the men in the place would
draw lots to see who at luncheon time
should make the journey to the street to
buy cakes and pie for the noo'nday meal,
and how he had at times gone without
his luncheon rather than use up so much
strength in climbing the stairs. It took
a liilULULC UUU a *14441. IUVU i*
man to go up, he said, but the manager
of the factory, who was more than 50
years old and somewhat rheumatic, always
spent four minutes in the upward
struggle.
"I was just figuring on the time saved
by this modern appliance," the old maD
continued, "and I calculate that it is at
least four minutes for every young man
who goes to the tweuty-fifth floor and ten
minutes for your 'elderly gentlemen.'
These express elevators, stopping only
above the thirteenth floor, average 45
seconds in reaching the top. Of course
we wouldn't have 20 or 30 story structures
if the modern elevator manufacturers
had not kept pace with the architects
and builders, but I am arguing from
the other side." And he showed an array
of figures to prove that in a day's
average business, in which 2,500 passengers
are carried, two whole working
days are gained. Ilia young friend did
not dispute him.
It is in New York* of course, with its
score of buildings that are 14 stories
high and over, that the elevator has

matter of speed the makers have vied
with one another until 800 feet a minute
[3 the rate nt which the cars can be propelled.
This means to the twentieth
floor of a building in 30 seconds, a velocity
that is gained by a multiplication of
gear wheels over which the car cables
run.?New York Post
Why He Was Successful.
The fact that success is mainly due
hard work has been expressed in man,
different ways, but one of the best was
that recently employed by a very successful
commercial traveler.. He was talking
with a companion, a rather lazy fellow,
when the latter exclaimed:
"I declare, Jack, I can't understand
why you always succeed In selling so
many more goods than I do!"
"I'll tell you why it is," replied Jack.
"But," he added, "it's a trade secret, and
you mustn't tell it to everybody."
"Of course I wouldn't do such a thing,"
was the answer.
"Well, then," said Jack impressively,
"I succeed because when I'm doing business
I wear out the soles ot my shoes
more than the seat of my trousers."?

HOW TO ATTAIN OLD AGE. .
Advice From an Authority on tlu
Subject of Longevity. r %
Of the giving of recipes for longevi
ty there is apparently no end. Every
man or woman who has reached ont
far beyond the allotted threescore
years and ten Is made the subject of
an entertaining argument to prove the
points of this or that contender.
Every abnormality in the shape of
strength of arm, of back, of general
system, is used as an illustration of i
the virtues of tills or that system of > i
exercise or living. It is the opinion of
a good many laymen that mankind 8
does entirely too much thinking on tha Jg
subject of bow to live to a ripe old age. M
Less worry on this point might lead
to the desired result
But there never will be less worry.
Even now the list of systems for prolongation
of man's days is being augmented.
The very latest suggestion
comes from a physician of credit and
renown. He thinks that there is a
very great deal of benefit or of injury
I In the wearing of certain kinds of
clothing. '
According to this authority, the
wearing of flannel next the skin is
immensely injurious to the general run
of men and women. Cotton is king, In
his opinion. For summer wear he
suggests a calico shirt, while balbrig**
, gan cotton is his Idea of -winter covering.
The main point of his theory
Is the necessity of wearing always the
same kind of material nezt the skin,
whether this be'of linen, cotton or
; wool.
Outdoor exercise Is highly, recom|
mended?that is, if cycling be except,
ed. Wheeling Is not considered, a sane
performance by this judge.
