g lu t her pretty little nose agalnat the a how window pest door, where cer­

tain mysterious garments were on dis­play under the guise of being a White

and feasted his gate on a aldeboard 3f antiquity.

"A perfect speciman of hand cart­ing! ” said he. "A perfect apeclmen

And aa hia voice diminishes into

the alienee of adoration let us (fla t­

tening our noaea against the show window of Life) look earnestly for

a minute or two at thla Professor and

also at Madame Profesaor, his wrlfe.

He waa, then, a bushy-headed pro­

fesaor, wearing the aspect of a lion

and much given to bristling his beard and making gesture* of emphasis

with his eyebrows. For the rest of lt

his trousers were Innocent of creases,

the professorial limbs being careless­

ly thrust into twin cylinders of pep­

per and salt, and he couldn't be left

to himself a minute before the hanger of his coat began to assert itself over

the top o f his collar, aa though bent

upon showing its superiority over

learned subjects and ita unyielding scorn of a ll things scholarly.

So let us turn and consider Ma­dame.

Pert and snappy was Madame, with

a pretty Uttle turned-up chin and

looking altogether capable o f t im in g the lion aforesaid and making him

lump through the hoop whenever oc­

casion required. Moreover, she had

a way of setting her foot down when

*he walked as though she knew ex­actly whore she was going, and every

lime she spoke ahe nodded her head

until the white pompon on her hat

nodded also in a manner that was at

snce ap affirmation, a warning and a jource of deep delight.

“Do you see it? ” he asked.

"Ye t,” ahe said, nodding; “ I sea I t ”

“A masterpiece!” said he, and bris­tling his mane he fell into hla beat

professorial style and thus delivered himself;

“Era o f the eighteenth century. Wreaths, scrolls and friezes carved ln

high relief, with fru it and flowers carved w ith wonderful imitative skill. I particularly wish to call your atten­

tion to tbe predominating figure of Pomona.”

Whereupon he erooked his right

knee and made a particularly com­manding gesture.

“Pomona waa the old Roman god­

dess of the fruits of the tree and es­pecially loved by all the sylvan dei­ties, the satyrs and the pans. She

was a shy goddess, but Vertumnus,

the god o f the turning year, wooed and won her. I digress, however.”

"Come along,’’ said she.

"W a it,” said he.

And turning to the sideboard again he said :

“Herein we see that the engraver,

however rare his manual skill, has fallen into a common mistake and

has given Pomona a cornucopia,

which is, of course, the special prop­erty of Fortunatus. However, we

will overlook so popular an error and

confine ourselves to the work proper.’*

"Are you coming?” said shp." In a minute,” said he.

He batted his eyebrows.

"The delicate carving of the foliage Is unusual,” said he, "especially in

the hollows of the cornice and the

lig h t1 open cresting along the top.

The tracery around tbe bunches of grapes Is also of a wonderful beauty,

and executed with the m ost.m inute finish and delicate moulding. The

fronts of the lower drawers have

been specially selected for m inute enrichment in spite of their incon­

spicuous position. However— ”

And as a new beauty caught his eye he fell once more into the silence of adoration, saying at last:

"I wish it was ours!"

B ut as for her, her pOmpon Started shaking.

‘‘Well, I don’t ! ” she said.

Whereat he stepped back in those tw in cylinders which have already

been mentioned, and the hanger of

his coat began to assert itself-—oh, most derisively! •

"You don ’t? ”

"N o ,” she said, " I do no t!”

*'What? You -don't wi«h we

owned tha t beautiful sideboard with

a ll that magnificent carving?""No. Cassius," she said, tucking

the hanger back in its place, " I do n o t !”

And tak ing him firmly by the arm

•he led h im to that window next door where the strange and curious ex* bibits were on display, and just be­

fore she fe ll into a reverie she looked tip a t him (with that glance of love

and impatience which a mother some­

times directs at her best beloved)

^nd added:"How would you like to have to

Noble Tapestry-Weavers.

Tapestry-making has reached a

high development In Norway, and the

Billevaev tapestry is famous the

world over, though specimens are ob- talned with great difficulty. The rea­

son for this scarcity lies in the pass­age of a law by the government of

Norway, which forbids this particu­

lar type of weaving by any one except

ladies of the nobility: but numbers

of them, who have been in strait­

ened circumstances hitherto, are now deriving a comfortable income from

this work.In the spring of 1905 there were

exhibited at the National Arts Club in New York City several Billevaev

hangings, which admirably illustrated the exquisite workmanship required

ln making these tapestries. They are woven alike on both sides, and

for that reason are especially well adapted for curtains or portieres: but

jh e ir beautiful designs make them

suitable as artlBtlc drapery of any

style. Only hand-carded and hand- spun wool is woven into these tapes­

tries, and each strand is dyed bo as

to exactly match the painted design which is to be copied. The delicate

shading, necessary to render the tap­

estry patterns most effective, Is ob-

) talned by dyeing individual pieces of wool to correspond to every shade

that the completed design requires.—

Harper's Weekly.

Hard to Believe.

More than half tbe surface of the

globe is hidden* beneath water two miles deep; 7,000,000 square miles lie a t a depth ot 18,000 feet or more.

Many places have been found five

miles and more ln depth. The great­est depth yet sounded Ib 31,20,0 feet,

near the Island of Guam.If Mt. EvereBt, the world’s highest

mountain, were plucked from Its seat

and dropped into this spot the waves

would still roll 2000 feet above its

crest.Into this terrible abyss the waters

press down with a force of more than 10,000 pounds to tbe square inch.

The staunchest ship ever built would be crumbled under this awful pres­

sure like an egg shell under a steam

roller.

A pine beam ' fifteen feet long, which held open the mouth of a trawl

used in making a cast at a depth of more than 18,000 feet, waS crushed

flat, as if it had been passed between

rollers.

The body of the man who should

attempt to venture to such depths would be compreosed until the flesh

was forced into the Interstices of the bones and his trunk was no largec

than a rolling-pin. Still, the body would reach the bottom, for anything

that w ill sink in a tub of water w ill

sink to the uttermost depths of the ocean. •

Matinee Hat in Russia.

The matlne* hat was bound to

i reach Husala, and It has managed topenetrate into the provinces. The

other evening a lady, an officer’* wife,

sst in the front row of the parterre j of the Novgorod Theatre. The lady

I fifty-ilx Inches across. Fifteen peo-

j pie craned their necks ip a vain at- j tempt to catch even a glimpse of th*

stage; In vain they beaought tbe lady | to remove the offending hat. At last

a policeman was called In. He told the lady that she had made herself

j "a public nuisance/’ and he sum- i moned her to appear next morning at

a small sum and warned against ! wearing such a monstrous bat, at

| To me it is always a very sad ac- j knowledgement when a young woman

! says she is lonely . and has to be I amused. That she possesses no re-

hum iliating confession. To the active

The Wrong Door.

Charles E. Wells, who has been called the ground-hog senator of

West Virginia, because he once in ­

troduced a bill advocating the chang­ing of Ground Hog day from Febru­

ary 2 to July 4, was staying over­night at the Grand Hotel of a bud­

ding West Virginia village not long since.

He was awakened in the morning by heavy pounding on his door, anji

the voice of the old man night clerk saying, "Five o'clock! Better get up oc you'll miss your train .”

Mr. Wells didn't intend to catch a morning train and hadn't given any

instructions that he should be called at the unearthly hour of five o ’clock,

so be paid no attention to the old man's early morning greeting and

waa asleep again almost immediately.In about fifteen minutes he was

happy art of adapting herself to cir­

A Charitable Princess,,1

Among other items of the royal visitation to Berlin, which have come

to the light of print despite the ces­

sation of court news, Ib a nice Uttle story concerning the Crown Princess.

I t appears, when the terrible colliery

disaster occurred at Hamm, the Crown

Prince and his wife at once under­took to receive subscriptions for the

Widows and orphans. The Princess,

pot being in possession of sufficient

ready money to give as much as she wished, determined to sell some of

her jewelry, of which she has a good deal. She therefore Bent for a Berlin

jeweler to call upon her, and laid be­

fore him several ornaments before asking him If he would purchase

them. Transactions were finally

completed to the satisfaction of both

parttes. The kind-hearted Princess received the sum of $6250, the whole of which she immediately added to

the collection, the entire amount

being' $75,000 and something over.

will never miss.— Boston Herald.

Beauty Patches.

Beauty patches, which were rare during the recent P<ynpadour period,

are reappearing ln PariB as the result of the anticipated revival of Lotfls

XV. fashions. They are received

with great favor because French *women never entirely abandoned the

cunning little devices the ladies at

Louis’ court found so useful. Recent­ly the patches have been seen mostly

on tbe stage and at costume balls. Now the more daring leaders of so­

ciety are laying in supplies. Beauty

patches are made of tiny pleceB ot

black velvet in the shapes of stars, moons, and crescents. The patch is placed on the side of the eye tc make

t’he eye appear larger.* I t gives vivac­ity of expression. On the corner of

the under lip it attentuates the face;

if, on the contrary, the woman wlaheB

cut out of black silk court plaster, l^ouche eccentricities went so far in those days, in fact, that the clergy

catalogue, Mrs. Ogden Mills does not follow the precedent set by Mrs. O.

H . P. Belmont in the days when she

acts in such a way that all feel they

can approach her easily and confide

in her perfectly. She listens to the

sorrows of the people and feels with

them and rejoices in their joys. *She

knows how to entertain aud how to be entertained. She keeps abreast of

the times in reading and delights In

Black or pure white grapes are

especially smart trimm ing for mourn­

ing hats.

No matter how smart a wrap, no

woman wishes to hide a lovely cor­

sage under its fold.

One of the prettiest of the new

fads is the revival of the headdress

of the Empire period.

Venetian bands come In every color of embroidery on black, cream and

crimson filet net for trimmings new gowns.

Coronets and diadems of gold fili­gree and tortoise shell harmonize

most charmingly with the draped gowns.

Very simple gowns are transformed

into things of beauty by girdle and bretelles of shirred or tucked silk or lawn, lace-trimmed.

One is getting rather used now to seeing bugs and butterflies instead of

flowers as motifs ln the Irish lace collars and other pieces.

Various shades of brown, blue, green and red in checks alternating with black in the same proportion

are popular for tailored silk waists.

There is no reason why the gradu­ation toilet may not be made entirely

at home, for the most simple der signs are at the same time the smart­est.

At the races in Paris one of the most striking of the chapeaux was of

purple straw, trimmed with velvet

and bunches of mauve and purple larkspur.

Whether the coat be long or ex­tend only a trifle beyond hip length,

it Ib usually w ith back so slightly fitted that to all appearances it is almost straight.

More thick crepe de chine, fallleB, satins of various kinds and velvets are being used for handsome toil-

lettes than of the long used voiles and mousaellnes.

The most fashionable umbrella

stick or handle is the one made of tortoise shell, absolutely unadorned

or trimmed with a Jade collar, rimmed wUh chased gold.

Zapote Tree and

Chicle Oum

Among th* numerous natural prod­

ucts abounding In Msilco th* WpOts tre* stand* pre-eminent, ita gum andwood during many decades having

formed a source of wealth to a large

number of Individuals and corpora­tions, native and foreign, which have

obtained from the State government

proprietary right* or concMaiona to extract chicle gum

The wood of the sapot* tre# I i dark purpliih red, and although exceed­

ingly hard when firet cut, it U easily

worked until thoroughly seasoned, when only the finest edged toolM

bave any effect on Its fllnt-llke sur­

face Sharp pointed nail* can be driven into the wood only about an

Inch. The fibre ia io dense that the

wood sink* rapidly in water, and will remain immeraed for years without

being affected In the least. Zapote

door frames In the ruin* of Uxmal are as perfect to-day a* wben first

placed in position. The wood Is iua*

ceptible ot a beautiful polish. The average zapote will square five to

eight Inches, and occasionally two feet. It is claimed that the hark !■

employed to great advantage ln tan­

ning processes, and that leather so

treated Is superior to other klndl.

The magnificent trees are rapidly

disappearing, aa the operators are

taking no precautions to protect them

from the destructive methods of the chlcleros, who, in their greed to ob­

tain all the sap possible, cut the trees so deep that they do not recover from

the effect ot the Incisions, but grad­

ually decay, Before the trees reach

th ij stage, and while still easy to

work, they are cut down and shaped into build ing material.

The chicle industry extends from Mexico as far as the extreme southern

portion o f Yucatan, which produces

the largest yield, but in quality the

gum is inferior to that obtained from this section, especially in the Tuxpan

district The latter gum commands

a higher price In the United States,

to which it is almost exclusively shipped.

Zapote trees thrive best on high,

rolling land, and although trees are found on the lowlands, they are in­

ferior in both sap and wood. Con­

tinuous tapping does not appear to

have a seriously detrimental effect,

provided the incisions are not too deep Trees are known to have been

tapped for twenty-five years, but after

that time produced only from half a pound to two pounds of sap. I f al­

lowed to rest five or six years, they

w ill produce from three to five pounds. The average height of the

trees is about thirty leet. Zapotes

are exceedingly slow In growth, and

require from forty to fifty years to attain full height.

The chicle season opens early ln

September, though the yield at this period is lim ited; and, owing to still

copious rains, the chlcleros (labor­

ers) are retarded in their work; but

this is to a great extent a beneflt, as

rains are favorable to an abundant flow of the sap, provided the rainy

season is not prolonged beyond Octo­ber, in which case sap would contain

a larger proportion of water, and the

loss In condensation would be heavy

and the product inferior. New trees w ill produce from fifteen to twenty-

five pounds of sap, according to size.

In order to produce twenty-five pounds a tree would hgve'to square

about two feet and be from twenty- five to thirty feet high.

The process o f extracting the sap

is extremely primitive. Open V- shaped Incisions are made in the tree

trunks, permitting the sap to flow in

a continuous stream. At the foot of each tree a palm or other appropriate leaf is fastened, which acts as a

leader or gutter, from which the

chicle drips into the receptacle placed to receive it.

The sap as it flows into the in­cisions is beautifully white, has the

conslsteqcy of light cream, but as It

runs down it gradually becomes more viscous, until, as It drips into the

receiving receptacle; It is of the density of heavy treacle. I t is very

adhesive, and is extensively employed

for repairing broken articles and

fastening leather tips to billiard cues.

When the receptacle.becomes full It is emptied into a large Iron kettle mounted on a temporary stone foun­dation, with a small opening for

wood, the fuel used ln the boiling

process to evaporate the water, which

amounts to about twenty-five per cent, of the sap. As the boiling pro­

gresses the chicle thicker!*, aud when

it has reached the proper consistency

it is allowed to settle until a trifle

mgre than lukewarm, when lt is kneaded to extract more of the water

content, and ia then shaped by hand

into rough, uneven loaves weighing

five to thirty pounds. If carefully

cooked it is of whitish-gray shade; If carelessly handled and improperly boiled it is a dirty dark gray. When

prepared with extra care it is of a light pinkish color. Much deception

is practiced by the chlcleros, who, in order to increase the weight, insert stones, bark, sand or wood in the

boiling chicle before it is formed Into

loaves. The sap, freshly extracted, w ill weigh about seven or eight

pounds to the gallon*—-U. S. Consul . Tuxpan, Mexico.

year after year without realizing that it is the cause o t many obscure but persistent ailments.

German Method of Feeding.

fteferriug to his uuaei vattuOs while

traveling abroad, Professor W A.

Kenney said that the rearing of Hol- stein-Frleslan cattle la simplicity It*

aelf. The calves are given whole

m ilk until abou t five weeks old, when the ration ia gradually changed to

skim m ilk and grain. The grain Is

cooked and steamed and fed with the

m ilk at first and later ia fed dry Im ­mediately before the m ilk ia given.

When grass ts available It forms the entire ration for heifers, and during

winter the rations are only sufficient to keep them growing. Bulls are fed

In the same manner until they are a

year old, after which they are closely

confined but regular exercise is given dally. Bulla used for breeding are

kept In stablea or paddocks and ^ae

well fed, but not allowed to become

fat. Roots in winter and green for*

age In aummer are largely uaed.

Why Clover Falla.

A great many farma have been

cropped without proper rotation until

the soil is so exhausted that clover w ill not catch, or If it does, the young

plants w ill die because therb is not

lime enough In the soli, or because

there Is not sufficient humus to retain moisture for the young clover plants.

There la another reason to account for the failure to grow clover and that

is a fungus disease, but It la atrongly

suspected that tbe fungus growth Is

encouraged through the weakness of the clover plants, caused by deficien­cy of lime or an acid condition of

the soil.

Where clover w ill not grow It fs

safe to try lime, then get the ground

filled wltb humus by planting crops that w lll grow, even if they have to

be plowed in order to accomplish tbe object. If soil w lll not raise clover.

It w ill not raise paying crops of any­

thing else, so that one of the first

things to do is to get it in proper

condition, then keep it so by good rotation of crops that w ill feed the

soil, instead of exhausting it.— Epit-

omlst.

Tlie Value of Tile Draining.

Tile properly placed makes soil

dryer in wet weather and more moist in dry weather. This is difficult to

understand until we consider the na ­ture of the soil.

Soil in proper condition is porous,

fomething after the manner of a

sponge. It w ill hold water up to a

certain point without leaking. Until

It becomes thoroughly saturated it

contains air as well aa water. Air is Varm and air is needed by plants in

the process of growth.

Tile leads the water away quickly

in the spring so the a ir can penetrate

tbe soil and warm it so seeds w ill germinate and grow quickly. Un-

dralned land, if low, fills with water

ln the spring to the saturation point

and the excess of moisture passes off

In vapor through the process of evap­

oration. It requires a great deal of heat to warm the water, sufficiently

to cause it to pass off in this way.

That heat Is lost.

After evaporation has dissipated the moisture and the soil becomes

dry enough to work, it breaks up in

clods, because it has baked down and packed together like mortar. It is

almost Impossible to prepare a good

*eed bed in auch ground.— James

Johnson, in the Epitomlst.

Horse Breeding to Type.

Farmers, and others, for that tya.t-

le r, as wejli.must breed tq type, th e y

must know what kind of horseB they

wish to produce and strive to that

end. To do this, they should know

what kind of material la .at hand, and how it can Ife used. Here is some­thing that the United States Depart­

ment of Agriculture should do. And

the War Department m ight also as­sist, for proper cavalry remounts are

difficult to secure. In European countries, where great standing arm ­

ies are maintained, there are not only governmental breeding farms, bu t

the farmers are encouraged to breed array horses by the giving of prizes, ■and by perm itting government-owned

stallions of proper breeding to stand to approved stock at merely nom inal

fees. .In Austria I have seen a whole regiment of cavalry mounted on

horses so true to type that it would

take study and acquaintance to tell •one horse from another In Ger­many the government has been breed

ing for the cavalry since the time of Frederick the Great, and with most

satisfactory results. In these conti­nental Countries much enterprise is

shown in securing the beat blood tha t may be had in other countries, nqt om itting the Desert of Arabia, whence

comes the best and purest equine blood ln all the world. In this m at­

ter of horse breeding the Italians are not the least enterprising, nor, by the way, are the Italians by any means in ­

ferior In their horsemanship.— From John GHmer Speed’s “About Horae

Breeding," in the (Jentury. .

Plant Food,

fn an address before the Illinois

Farmers’ Institute, at Springfield,Professor C. G. Hopkins, of the Uni­versity of Illinois, who has change

of the State soil Investigation, refer­

ring to the elements of plant food in pIai}U a chance to develop and in this

phosphorus, said: way n t in in taany cases what would“ The value of the Increase from

containing !69

bought name quantity

ton of iteamed meal costa 926.00, In two tons

of acid, phosphate, costs 980.00 and In four tona of complete fertiliser,

costs from 980.00 to 9100.00. On* thousand pounds of fine-ground nat­ural rock phosphate should be ap­

plied per acre every four or six years,

always in connection with farm ma­

nure, legume crops or other green manure.’/

By th* above, it seem* that the Galesburg soil required only phos­

phorus and manure, but so.ls differ widely and other kinds might require

additional fertilizers. Science teaches that nitrogen Is necessary for tbe pro­

duction of leaves and stalks of plants,

potash for the formation of starch, sugar and woody fiber, phosphoric acid for the formation of seed, while

both phosphoric acid and potash are needed to hasten the maturity of seeds.

Therefore, for best results all of these

food elements should be in the soil and properly balanced. It Is neces­

sary, therefore, for the farmer to

study his soil, ascertain in what ele­

ments of plant food it ia deficient and

then apply them only in quantities sufficient to produce the necessary

balance.

Importance of the Birds,

Were it not for tbe birds, insect*

would destroy the whole vegetable kingdom, which man must have to

exist. Every root or leaf has ita

enemy In an Insect, and birds were wisely distributed and adapted to

every place where they, ran be of

benefit or even pleasure to maa. Al­though some, In return for the often

unappreciated benefits they confer on

him , take a little tax from man in the

shape of fru it or grain, yet even -hjese k»ve been useful in other seasons.

Perhaps tjiere are no birds whose only mission is destruction. We know

of none. Birds are so distributed as

to coVer the entire face of the earth and water— wherever man can pene­

trate, from the^ porch, of bis door to

the most desolate regions of the globe, on land o r water. In the des­

ert we find the ostrich; in mid­

ocean we are accompanied by

different varieties of gulls and

petrels, while the loneliest islands

aro often den^fly inhabited by many l.:nds of ducks, penguins and other

members of the feathered tribe. The

forest has its multitudinous tuneful

denizens, while yast flocks of birds are common to every continent. The

great variety of substances on which

birds feed Is very remarkable. From the honey In the flower to worms of

the earth, they find sustenance. Some

live on the fish of the ocean, others

on insects as they fly in the air, or

on vegetation— seeds and fruits of

every kind— and even rn smaller

genera in their own kingdom- In fact, almost anything that can be

converted into nutriment Is by them utilized. They, themselves, also serve an important purpose to man as fpod.

The quantity of feathered animals

consumed by him In all parts of the

world is enormous. Indeed, in many regions they constitute t is principal

animal food. But what would earth

be without the beauty and music of

bird life! The summer's sun would shine, but sadly silent, on a world

without the accompaniment of the

song and gayety of the feathered warblers. He would rise and set in

gloom w ithout these heralds of his movements. And man, what would he do without these cheering songs,, uumlxed w ith worldly cares, that comes, pure and sweet, from nature’s own fountain of melody?— Weekly

A lfa lfa Growing.

In most cases the people who nave

made a failure of growing alfalfa

have not devoted much attention Jo studying the needs o f the plant and

have tried It in a manner that would make success out of the question.

Tbe more I see of the plant and con­verse with men who are succeeding

in growing it tho more I am of the

opinion that it w lll grow on many farms whefe i i has proven a failure.

There U no question but that It is a very valuable feed to use to balance

the rations of farm animals And those

who have fed it are more than pleased

with the results. Many who have read about it are skeptical and will

not give it a fair trial and many

tlmea when .they do try it they go about it ln a half-hearted manner and

throw the seed on tbe soil anyway it

happens to drop and condemn the

plant If they fa il to get the best re* suits.

There is no use trying to grow al­falfa unless the soil is in the best state of tilth possible and properly

manured and fertilized, for the. young plants are tender and w ill not .thrive

unless the conditions are favorable.

If a lfa lfa Is started under the fpl- lowing Conditions and you fail to

get a good stand you can rest assured that you have done your part and

after trying twp or three timeB and failing you may then declare it a

•failure, but not until then should you

give up trying.A rich, well-drained goll that is

well supplied w ith humus, by the ad­

d ition of fine stable manure and cover crops and a compact seed bed must be obtained. Most of tbe suc­

cessful growers sow about twenty pounds of seed to tbe acre without a

nurse crop. I t must have frequent clipping to hold the weeds In check

but must never be cut until it has obtained & fair growth and obtained a good root system. A great many

farmers give up when they secure a good stand and pay no attention .to

mowing the weeds so as to give the

rock phosphate in six crops grown on

the Galetijurg experiment station

field amounts to 914.40, or $2.40 more than the cost of the phosphate applied, while four-fifths of this proa- phate still remains in th f soil. Plen­

The season ot the year is .approach­

and parks and the out-of-doors. It is ■

the season, f&o, when every New je r­

sey town should don its brightest

garb, for soon the annual pilgrimage

beaches w ill be begun a:'d the state

thousands come looking for pleasure

and they find pleasure in pleasing

spectacles as m uch as in anything

else. Every property and every home

keeper can he p. On the whole there1

' i t one th ing that goes farther toward j

m aking a city genuinely beautiful and j

attractive than flowers and well kept

lawns.

whose fame for beauty rests chiefly 1

upon their magnificent home gardens. |

but flowery lawns are a fad there, and j

the visitor sees m iles of streets lined |

artistic little gardens that please the

Canton is accounted a beautiful city.

Depend upon it. a city of flowers is I

a good-city to make a hom e in.* The

care atid pride shown in such things j

are reliable indicators of the charac-|

CALL LAKE FREAK OF NATURE.

Mysterious Body of VVcter In the

State of New York.

The brakemnn on the Long island

railroad was fa iking lo two schoolboys.

' Say, kids, did you know there's a lefcv down the Island where the sui­

cides disappear, and their bodies are

found In the Atlantic ocean? That’s a gospel fact I lost a friend there

once. We dragged for his body three days, and Mtme, fishermen picked It

up near Oak island beach, Just out- side Fire island inlet. Now, kids, what do you thihk of that? Ask your

teacher.. Maybe she can explain all

about it.” Needless to remark, the

boys were much Interested.

The lake referred to is Ronkonkoma, a freak of nature, about 48 miles from New York's city hall, and half Way

between Stony Brook and Sayvllle.

Strange are the traditions hovering over this small body of water. • The

Indians arouid Islip used to call it

Ron-konk-o-MA, but many of the pres­ent day Long Islanders say Ron-kon-

KO-rna. * Old . “resldenters” tell that

the tide rises aud falls there twice in 24 hours, som times six inches, at oth­

er times, two "eet. It is believed that

there ia an underground connection

tflth Great Si n th bay, leading to the ocean by way of Fire Island Inlet. At

times, they will declare, the waiter is

salt, and at other times fresh.

place beside the erudite driver dis­

covered by Sir Frederick Bridge. This cabman often drove Sir Frederick

home from the Albert hall after the performances of the Royal Choral so-,

mety, and ehe evening as he received

his fare he astonished ihe eminent conductor by criticising the tempo

at which he took some of the' “Mes­

siah” choruses on a previous occasion. Thla started a friendship between the

mifslcian and the cabmaji,, aud the

former discovered In the latter a very solid foundation of musical knowl­

edge and . got to think highly of his

opinions. On one occasion, Indeed, the cabman asked him to perform 'a new oratorio by Perosl (which Sir

Frederick had not then Been) and of­

fered to lend him a copy of the score. —London News.

Work and Nerves.

Work, again, is the'enemy of lusom-,

nla. The sufferer from bad or broken sleep is liable to give up duties or to

be slack in their performance, toaban-'

don exercise and forget his Usual hob­bies because of his anticipation of a

uight of distress. Jn reality, he ought to, prepare himself for sleep by con-

geS’lfll activity, in which his mind will

be weaned away from the fear of not sleeping.

Qjice more, work Is an §nemy to the

fears and impulsions -to the strange sense of unreality aud other morbid

symptoms which accompany psychas-

thenia. Work restores to such a suffer­er.“the function of the,real.’’ I t is only

through contact with reality that man,

whether normal or abnormal, can flnd

abiding satisfaction—Rev. s. S. Me- Comb, In Harper’s Bazar.

Seta Law of Kitchen.

kitchen to aid the maid (If all work

ity such as would' hot be tolerated in larger establishments. The case was

that of a cook and general tnald who sought to recover a month's wages

from hpr former mistress m lieu of notice. The mistress asserted that the

servant always ‘answered her back,’* but the Judge held that under the cir­

cumstances this was not sufficient to Justify dismissal.

They had met on a lopg Phoenician

alaveshlp. He was a awarihy young

Scythian with a thin, keen fayc an

aqiillltiv nose and black huwk'i cyds She wua a little fair Greek, with dark

friAged blue eye*, and a pretty m>t!

way of ttmlUng that sh« atill had ev now, In the midst of ft-ur und haunting

iiii>iiiorlo* of a happy home. The fact of theli both belug highly born uuiy

have drawn them logether For Zala

the Scythian, was a prince’* son, and

had known a happy ilfe, till one day,

after hunting, he awokv from a heavy

sk-ep among the sand dune* -to flnd

the kidnapers' ropes about hU neck

mid unklea He had fought like a young

tiger, but It hatl been no uae, aud

uow~-hjii Hilm highbred beauty and Ilia

courage and strength wduld doubtless

fetch a high price. Just now he spvftt

most of his time In chains, for he still

had fit* of violence. -Lying on the

deck one sunset, his black curly head

against tfie mast, his eyes gazing sul

lenly at nothingness, he caught sight of the girl Zoe. One of the other

slave women, a foul-tongued young

fury, was mocking her for a soft

hearted little fool that did not know what fate had in store for her, Zala

knew well why the other girls hated

Zoe. Tho Phoenician trader spared

her a few of the hardships that would

fall to tho ordinary slave's share, be­

cause he knew Well enough If he did

not he might lose what promised to be

the best of his female merchandise.

For the little Greek’s steady bravery

and endurance covered a frailty of

bodV and nerves that Zala, born horse­

man us he was, ■ recognized at once,

"A ftmfh of the vHilp and she’ll die*”

he thought, as he watched the girl face

the, woman’s gibes The cool pravery of her race waa in her eyes, but the

lovely, slemjer llnea of her little figure

were drawd’tense, aud the iiulse in the white throat beat like a hammer, and

as the woman taunted on roughly, tell­

ing of Tara’s slave market, and other,

things, Zoe seemed to be bracing her-’

self va#ainst^ physical blows, bb she’

leaned Hgainst the side of the pitch­

ing ffl)ey .. Zala rose with a groWl?

to stagger against the mast, for he.had

forgotten that his ankles were rop&»

The woman shrank away, for she got

as good as she gave from the Scyth-

lan‘s sharp toftgue. In that day men

ofteir knew mahy languages. Zala

had been a lighter and, young as her

was, had been in many strange camps/

so he was able to speak to Zoe; whp.

asf soon as her enemy had'departed,

collapsed Into a frightehed, trend ing chll(l. From that hour they were

friends. She would bring him her share/ of food and deiak, for Zala, being re*-

bollious, was often half-starved...Some

times he would eat woiflshly, for .lie

wa9 no saint to deny himself. But

then he would look a: the sweet dell-!

cate face, and demand half angrily, ‘Hast thou eaten?’’ and she would*’He

to him and say, *'Y e 3, Zala, yes.”

It wAs’on one of these occasion* that*

he cauglit her to him fiercely and put

bis lips jo hers,. It was-enough, to him

that she returned his kisfces -he/ofti he

him though she waa.hrulsnd and’ hur'fft! In his savage embrace. They tore her

away from him at last.and Zala wa^

tied up and thrashed, tlien flung un­der the deck to pieditate apon his

fins, faint and sick^'but absolutely un­

subdued Two nights aflerwa-rd there' was a heav.y storm, the slayes were

driven below, and discipline- was VoMe-

what relaxed by imminent dangeri

The storm had driven: the galley out of ife course. For Zala and Zoe- the

'inevitable separation was delayed, per-,

haps for months. There was a glpry. not of earth in the girl's ’ blUe eyes.

The trader granted with- satisfaction; she was growing fairer everyday, she

would fetch much gold As for Zala,s he was more amenable. The trader

did not- guess at the reason that ihade

the Scythian put aside hi» fierce pridp

—because with -tied . limbs he could not, with ail Ids cumilngv arrange thosp

desperate stolen meetings VlWt ..y,ere life to two souls qp-.the slave Ship, jp

one of these dangerouji. pours, Zala

uoticed how. Zoe coughed—a'hacking little cough— rind’ how the cold air

was making h( r shiver.. She was made

for warmth atid fight. A-chill Novem­

ber in the northern,sea was not good for her, he thought, anxiously. So one

night he rose^nd ,made his way to

the trader’s eabjn in tile fore part of ,the galley, tinder" the light of a

swinging lamp sat the Phoenician cast­ing up accounts on a huge sheet, of

parchment. He looked up. Zala stood with his back to the cabin door, his

dark eyes burning fire in the pallor of

his face, The trader had merely „

call his men to have him dragged back to the lower deck. But he did

not cafl. He had IJvea a fearless and

evil life ,'but1 he feared his gods. He

said afterwaai that Zala had the vesy

Arc of Bael in his eyes, that night as

ho spoke—quickly and hoarsely like a mdn in a fever.

"What hast thou done with the

child? Answer me, man, answer!” v

The young Scythian had once com­

manded men. The senso of that made his tone like a whiplash, for all hla

present fate. The trader could cope

with that, so he shrugged his shoul­

ders and answered: “Ah, ha, so it is that, la it?"

The terrible burning eyes flted .hlm again. “Give her to mo,” said Zala,

' give her to me, or by the gods rtis

my Mead lx>dy thou shalt take on thy ship .to Tara and—I am valuable. Se0!”

He rent the tattered tunic from him,

and stood In his lithe half-tfaked

beauty under the lumpllght.

They said idng ago I 'had beauty and

strength. Man, I will make thee rich

dark racial knowledge of huoian na­

ture and human passion, let them

alone, save, that he gave Zala all-he

asked for. But there came 'a calm

starlit night when Zoe had seemed

stronger for a little while, only Zala knew, wltii the strange knowledge of

his time tjiat it was the last fHOker of

the fire o t life before It went—else

where. The starlight shone * Into ^the

placo where they lay. Zoa was atrofc

lag his face with her thin little hand

‘It is better bo, most dear," she whis­

pered. “It would have trpubled thde

to part with me and—It would have

broken toy heart. The gods have been

verr good. 1 have had a happy life,

and here have I had thy love. Is It

not best that we do not part and be­cause 1 am thine?”

Zala could uot say it was n6 t best.

To have Zoe torn from him at'itie end

would have been eVen hdrder to bear than this. .

mers, and, while he felt reasonably

certain that hia suit was not distaste

ful #to her, he had been unable lo screw up his com age to the point

which would put hla fate to the tefrt

As be had done innumerable nights before, be strolled down ihe road

about half a mile and then returning

took u|r-*jK»ltton opposite the Wil

llama cottage in the shadows of .the roadside hushes and waited tori the

light in her room to lie eKtlngnhihdd "Jack Allerton, for a aane mab. you

make all kinds of a monkey of your­self," he said Anally as the light that

he was watching went out and he turned to depart again.

Suddenly he stopped short with a catch in his breath.

A dark form had passed quickly across the lawn and been swallowed

up by the shadow of the bouse.

Allerton sprang to "the low fence

that surrounded tbe Williams grounds, and vaulting over made his vfay

stealthily toward the spot whfere the

form had disappeared. The-* dining­room window waa open, and a irfan

wag clambering clumsily into the room.

For a monent Allerton hesitated,

while he rapidly thought out a plan of

actlbo. The house * must nof be

iroased lest Estelle b£- alarmed

Whatever was to be dona, must be done quickly and quietly.

Allerton s micd was soon mad? up.

Gliding from shadow to shadow he reached the open window by which

ths man had entered the house

Crouching beneath it he slowly raised

hla head so that he could look Into the room.

As hla eyes became accustomed to tha darkness I16 could dimly make out

tbe form of a man moving stealthily around the room with outstretched

arms, feeling along the wails. When

he reached the door he passed into

the hall and out of sight

WftS he going upstairs?

Allerton’a heart w as tn his mouth.

Placing his hands on the window seat "he drew himself up and jumped

lightly Into the room. It was now a

game of hide and seek, and Allerton

was “It.” For a moment he listened. But the man apparently knew his

business well. Not a sound broke the

stillness of the night.

Again he listened, but not a creak­

ing, board or stair gave him any hint

of the direction the man had taken

after leaving the dining-room Aller- Iton stopped and thought again. What

,would-he do, were he a burglar? The 'sleeping rooms first, for. jewels and

m'oney, of course. The8,thougbt meant

‘quick action. He. at least; ha3 the ad

Vantage of a thorough knowledge of

the house. He tip toed to the foot of the stairs and taking cue step up,

stopped.

It could scarcely be called sound, ’but to Allerton’s straining ears it

seemed as loud as the roar of Niag­

ara. lt was a gurgling sound like that

made by liquid poised from a bottle

and it seemed to come from the direc­tion of the butleT’s pantry i t the end

of the hall. Allerton retraced his

steps and as he turned down the hail he. paused and involuntarily, crouched

against the wail.

There was his man' in plalu view

The pantry door was wide open, and f

standing in a patch of moofdlght that

came through the window stood the burglar. In one hand he held a bottle

of beer, and in the other something edible, at which he was contentedly

munching. •

While he stood out th sharply de­fined silhouette, Allerton waa invisible

to the burglar, and would be until he

reached the streak of moonlight that penetrated just outside the pantry

door. Moving silently along close u r the wall, he finally stepped quickly

out In view.

With a smothered! oath the man

diopped the bottle with a crash, and

.spr^iig at. Allerton, who met the on-, sjaught unflinchingly.

“You fool," whispered Allerton as

he blocked he blow aimed at him and i

caught the- man in a grasp of Iron,‘ you’ll jouse the house.”

"What's'’ your lay, anyway?” grum:

President Fallieres’ first list of deco­

rations for the New Year Included the name of one man who is little knopn.

Thla was a young physician named

Louis-Bozy, who lost an eye ln the

discharge of hia duty, Di^ Bozy,

while acting as assistant to an'operat­

ing surgeou in one of the Paris hos­

pitals, had an eye Injured through a drop of poisonous matter coming in

contact with It. He knew that an

antidote must be applied immediately,

but by doing this he v.-otiId rfkve left

the chief surgeon unattended.^ and re

mained at bis post with his eye nn- cared for until tbeope ra tion was

completed, ln conaequdnce of his

heroism he lost an eye and was con­fined to a hospital for a long time.

iprided themselves upon tbe fact that

they did no useful thing. Men of

of Iqng service and many careful brushings and sponging* The wife

was evidently a bride, for her Ill-

made, Ill-fitting frock was of pearly gray with pink trimmings, and her

hat was white, with a wealth of white flowers wandering over and under It.

There was not a perceptible pause be­

tween Alice’s frightened ta k ln f In of the situation and her greeting of her guestB. Mrs. Parker rose from her

chair to hold out her little wrinkled hands with her old-fashioned cour

tesy, and Ted Mason did his share of

welcoming.“You must be tired," said Alice,

hospitably, after a moment, and then

she led the way to the guest-cham­ber, and left them alone.

her affectionately. “Don’t you worry,

Why did they send us such people?The old minister, Mr. Harvey, had

silly ln comparison.

Bhe led the visitors to the very

forefront in the church. Mr Harvey had said that hefdld not want to miss

a word ot the proceedings.

The conference was about to open. Alice had never seen tbe bishop, but

she did not need to have him pointed out. A ta ll, fine-looking man, with

keen eyes looking out from under a wide brow— she had already recog­

nised him , even before be took bis chair. Oh, If he could have been her

delegate! ■Alice had never cared much tor the

old-fashioned church hymns; they had a sore of dolefulnesa to ber. but

the fam iliar lifea bad a different sound aa he repeated them before the organ pealed out;

"Come ye that love the Lord,And let your joya be known;

Joia in a song with sweet accord.And thus aurround the throne.

The country bride sang clearly, and

the quavering voice of the old preach*

er rose triumphantly. Alice joined in.

For the first time the sense ot

strangeness between her and Mrs. Harvey seemed to disappear, and as

Alice sat through the morning ses­sion, she watched the little woman

by her side, looked at the shabby dress, a n d ‘came to a conclusion.

She had at home a beautiful new

black gown, just from the tailor.

The cloth A it waa smooth and shin­ing, and the fashion of the coat was

such tba t it would conceal the awk­ward lines of Mrs. Harvey’s figure.

There was a black ha t to match it.Clad In that, the |oung wife would

look really dignified, and Alice deter­mined tha t she should have it. B ut

how to manage It Without hurting her feelings!

a young lawyer sent down to Florida

upon a certain land case, and by a’c* cident, one hot aummer day, I stopped at a brush arbor out In the

woods, where he was presetting to a congregation that had gsthered there tn ox-carts, on horseback and afoot.

I stopped, more to rest tn the shade than because I felt any Interest, but

he had a message, and he delivered It from a full heart.'1 I t was for me—

for me! I don’t know bow many oth- era It came home to, but I went tm my way thoughtful and more serious

than I had ever been In my life be­

The bishop paused a moment, and some one out In the congregation be­

gan to sing, “Praise God frpm whom a ll blessings flow," as tha t congrega­

tion had a way of doing upon all sorts of occasions. Tba bishop bent down

and clasped bands w ith Mr. Harvey, whose uplifted fsce was radiant.

Alice, with downcast eyes, saw the

little bride’s hands trembling on her lap, and sbe put her own aoft fingers

in between, and they sat there listen­ing happily together through the rest

of the service,“Ted, darling ,” Alice said that

afternoon, “ we are entertaining some-

k Cet to Farming: There Never ^ Was a Better Time 1 f

*•— s i-

T ill;; trend of thought Jn nearly every avocation now is based on life ln the country. People who have hitherto had an aversion to country life because of the trials,

privations and almost hopeless efforts to succeed there, sre now fu ll of enthusiasm and becoming possessed of a strong desire to f^rm. This attraction Is being aroused because ot the fact that agriculture is once more getting on Its feet and w ill in the future demand and receive its share in the profits made from the wealth it creates. Naturally there Is no place so attractive to the average human being as the Country.

If the time has come, and we believe It has, when satis­factory profits can be made once, again by Southern farmers, so that independence and righteous prosperity w ill be con­spicuous in the country, the trend of thought and travel will be away trom the towns and cities and back again to the farm. Discontent will be displaced by peaceful satisfac­tion. W e confidently believe that th ^ t id e has turned for better and happier days for the menCwho provide the food and raiment for the world’s population, and that the cotton growers of thte South especially for all the years to come will enjoy a degree of prosperity unknown on tbe farm for the past thirty years.— The Cotton Journal.

ln the library for the bishop. There were American Beauty roses bending

on their ta ll stems on the library table, there were violets scenting the entrance hall, and Alice felt a pleas­urable glow of Eclf-gatisfactlon.

if not very absorbing in its interest.There followed an hour or two In

the library, and then Mrs. Parker said U» the minister:

“ I am n6t strong enough for late

hours, Mr. Harvel. W ill you not have prayers now?1’

This was another unexpected turn, for Alice had not entertained a m in­ister before, and there ensued a flur­

ried hunting for a Bible. Finally

she brought, from Mrs. Parker’s own room, the big family Bible. Alice

deposited it, w ith an effort, upon the table at the m inister’s side, and men­

tally resolved that the next day she would buy ono of more convenient size.

“ The servant, sister?” asked Mr. Harvey. “ Do you not have her come in for worship?” Then came a brief

but energetic argument ln the kitchen with Jane, who finally came in, with

a sulky frown, to sit down by the library door. Things were taking a

strange turn in the butterfly’s nest, bnt Mrs. Parker lay back in her chair,

and as Alice gazed at the sweet, placid old face, it seemed to her that she could see the golden light of past days dawning over it. The country

bride sat still, regarding her hus­band's countenance reverently, and as

Alice's eyes wandered, she met her husband’s glance. His eyes held no laugh in them, although he smiled at

her understanding^, and strangest of all, when the reading was finished,

Jane’s lowering face had cleared, and she slipped quietly out o f ‘ the room without even a shake of her expres­

sive shoulders."My granddaughter has made some

Qleasant plans for you, my dear said Mrs. Parker the next morning

to the bride. “W e are bo glad that our delegates are as they are. W e

had expected two gentlemen, but I always prefer a lady. One gets so much better acquainted, you know.”

Alice b it'her iip. She had ordered the carriage, and had intended put-^ ting It a t the disposal of her guests, but she certainly had no idea of go*

ing out with them. There was noth» ir ^ for it but to acquiesce, however, when Mrs. Parker told Mr*. Harvey that her hostess would take her to the church and rejmain there through tho opening service with her. Alice

considered that she would have to reason a little w ith her grandmother privately. <• «rV r " r

Alice pointed out' the pastor’s house as they drove by, and Mr, looked at tt w ith Interest.

She set her m ind to puwtle it out,

and almost forgot wbat was going on about her before she finally conclud­

ed that in order to be able to make

the gift she must get on very friendly, almost affectionate, terms with Mrs. Harvey.

Mrs. Harvey acepted the gift w ith

perfect simplicity. She looked like a different creature in the new gar­

ments. Before noon ot the next day

Mr. Harvey assured Alice that In all b is forty years he had never been treated so handsomely. Mrs. Harvey

Boon forgot her perplexity over tbe

astounding number of spoons and

forks that surrounded her plate at table, and was able to enter into a very quiet and demure enjoyment of

the drollery of Mr. Mason and his young wife. Day after day Alice

went with them to conference, and re­mained through the sessions.

One day she notlccd how the old

m an’s face always lighted up when the bishop began to speak. But noth­

ing prepared her for what happened on a day when Mr. Harvey had been

asked to conduct a devotional ser­vice. He did not do it very well. He

showed that he was a little flustered, and his old bands quivered as he held the Bible. Alice felt sorry for him ,

and for his wife, who looked at her husband so appealingly; but after Mr.

In England after the Reformation

the use of new-fangled, secular names

became common, and so sane an ob­

server as Lord Coke "was pleased to say that he had noted many of them

prove unfortunate." Thomas Fuller

remarked upon the great lawyer's

dictum tha t 'th e good success In

other cases confuted the general

tru th of his observation,” but he did

no t question it altogether.The early established cuBtom of

changing names after some spiritual or other crisis reveals a like opinion;

ao Abram became Abraham; Jacob,

Israel; Saul, Paul; Romulus (upon

deification), Qulrintfs. So, too, fam ­

ous scholars have sought to be reborn,

as i t were, Jpto their beloved classi­

cism by translating their names into

Greek or Latin— Trapassl transform­

Scaevola; De la Borgne Into Strabo.

The v«# rab le Camden reports that

already in his day "msny entirely

change their names to get rid of something ridiculous in them, lest

they be villlfled thereby," and we are

reminded of the more recent Thomas

Bugg, who translated himself into

Norfolk Howard.

a Novelists and dramatists have at-

7 Jys been fervent disciples of the /nom ina lis t theory, seeking impres­

sive titles for their puppets from a

conviction that this element will largely influence their readere* con­

ceptions. Balzac ascribed as mystic

and magic a potency to mere names as ever Pythagoras, Plato or Sterne’s

Mr. Shandy did. I t will be remem­bered of the last tha t when through

Susannah's leaky memory his child waa Christened "Tristram " instead of

"Trlsmegistus” his grief and alarm for its future surpassed expression.

Even in regard to brute animals

the same instinctive theory asserts

Itself. It Is a classical tradition of *he Derby that an IU named horse

cannot w in it, and Anthony Trollope was sharply rebuked by racing men

because in one of hia novels he

awarded the blue ribbon to "Fish-

On the whole It Is not surprising

that publldata hare conatantly cau­

tioned parenta to exerciae taste and

discretion in naming their offspring.

The occasion ia doubtleaa momentouf

and a warning not aeldom needed.

8<nne parenta have regarded nomen*

clature aa little else than an oppor-

tunlty for aorry jesting— tha Froata, for Inatance, who had their son chris­

tened "Hoar Froat;" the Nobles—to

keep the real caaes— who labelled

theirs ‘Henry Born Noble;" the par­ents likewise of "Arch Blahop" and

"Sweet O rgan;" and the yet more

reprehensible^ Rosea, tfrho rashly

namad their daughter "W ild "— it

was afterward her fate to marry a

not to be condoned by citing the

aportaman who, etcusably enough,

named one of hla hunters "F ilter," because It waa good at clearing

water, and another "Qehasl," be-

cauae It was a snow white "lepper.’*

clear principles of that art. though

attempts have been made. The great

difficulty is tha t parents cannot see

I t Is evidently Inappropriate to

avoid disagreeable associations, such

Alfred Sidney Smith. They may also

aim at some rythm and euphony.

Several doctors point out the effec­tiveness of a hexametrical ending, as

tails do not solve the problem, and

though reluctant to appear unpro-

gresslve we must confess that we see no better way out, all things consid­

ered, than the practices of various savage tribes. The Dakota Indians,

for Instance, avoid the trouble arising

from human shortsightedness by giv­

ing the child to begin w ith a merely

conventional name— a number, as lt

were— and later on, when It has done something to distinguish itself, a new

name expressive ot its peculiar char­

acter and abilities. Elsewhere, with

real democratic instinct, the responsi­

bility of deciding is shifted from the

parent of the babe. In New Zealand, for Instance, it was usual to read out

a list of names t ill the child sneezed

or cried at one, and in some Russian

ceremonies the child was first pro­voked' to cry and th e n . names were,

recited till lt showed its preference by stopping.

The very pertinent question has j

been asked by manufacturers of

foodB, if, under the pure food law, Dr. W iley ’s sweeping ruling against

preservatives of every name and na­

ture excludes tbe use of smoke and salt, the most common and ancient of

a ll preservatives. The only reply to

this inquiry that we have seen is to the effect tha t as long as salt and

smoke are not “ru led" against by the department a t Washington, there

will be no objection to their continued

use as preservatives. But some day Dr. W iley or some successor may in ­

clude in fantastic rulings a new one, by which the salting and smoking of

fish and meats shall be forbidden.

Then they w ill po longer be classed with the permissible things, but w ill

be taboo. The highest medical au­

thorities agree tha t the use of salt and smoke in the preservation of food

interferes in a measure with their digestion, Just as the use o( any other

preservative in small amounts may do; but under the food and drugs act

salt and wood smoke are classed as

foods, though other preservatives, quite as innocuous and quite as com­

monly used, are “ru led” against and

canuot be used by manufacturers ln the United StateB as they are iised

abroad and had been used ln this country for many years until -ridicu­

A "GENTLEMAN FARMER.**

Preaching and Practicing Different

Proportion*.

While It will be readily admitted

that the farmer a life can be made one of drudgery If ke inclines to let

It drift that way, It la equally true

that It can be made quite aa enjoy­able aa tbe average bualnesa life, al­

though perhapa not quite aa dealr- able a road to Immediate wealth.

The aubject was brought to mind by

a atory related by one of a party, Bit­ting together the other evening, tbe

ralator having been a party to the in ­

cident.It aeema that a "professional’’

man, at the time well known to many

citlzena, had conceived the Idea of eatabllahlng a model farm not over

a hundred miles from Hartford, had

bu ilt an Immenae barn after the moat approved atyle, erected a three hun­

dred ton capacity ello, bad become

intereated in fine atock. Including high claaa poultry and the like -In­

deed waa atartlng at the top of a lad­

der tha t others had been climbing with the cautious afep of eiperlence. Mattera seemed to bo going awim-

mlngly and the "farm er" was branch­

ing out In every directlop. In time he thought to add another line, that

of breeding plga. He communicated with the atory-teller, who at the time

owned half a thousand or more of

various agea and breeds, and he

dropped around at the model farmer’a

place to negotiate a sale. Juat here Is where the object leaaon comes In.

Th.e plg-owner met the Intending

buyer tn hia study, attired In an ele­

gant house jacket, hla ahapely feet encased In patent leather slippers and

his entire "get up" indicating the

gentleman of leisure. He desired to

start In with one hundred swine In a

bunch. Advised by the experienced

man that he had better tane a leas

number until he had experience the visitor was gently Informed that the

buyer perhaps knew what he wanted. The deal being accomplished tho two

fefl to talking about business In gen­eral and farming In particular.

"There la no need of a man doing

drudgery on the place; I prefer to be

a gentleman farmer,” remarked the

newly-fledged, fcnd proceeded to ex­

plain how easy it was to remain one.

Time wended Its way. The seller of the pigs bethought himself of the

"gentleman farmer” who had started

near the top of the ladder, and took

a leisure hour to drop around and see

him. No one being ln sight about the

place, the visitor sauntered down to

the barn, As he neared the entrance

he heard an emphatic voice evident* ly addressing Its owner. The ontire

dairy side of the beautiful barn

seemed permeated with blue flame,

As he got closer, the plg-seller was

surprised* to recognize the usually model voice of the new farmer. En*

tering the cattle barn he was sur­

prised to observe the owner (whose

earlier acquaintance had been made

while he was attired ln an elegant

dressing gown), cocked up on a m ilk­ing stool, Coaxing the lacteal fluid

from the container while he made the

a ir blue with something akin to pro­

fanity. His effort at apology wa?

met with a hearty "Oh, don’t mind

me! If it Is any relief to you, go ahead; I surely don’t blame you.*'

I t seemed that the men Immediately

concerned ln the m ilking had gone

off "on a time," leaving the "gentle­

man farmer" at his wits’ end to get

ou t o f the difficulty.

Later on the whole sy3tem went wrong. The men tired of the domln*

eering of the man higher up and

sought work elsewhere; the stock grew thin and unremuneratlve,

while the pigs— who really Inspired

this object lesson— actually came to

devouring each other to keep from

starving.The moral is easily pointed. Bet*

ter start at the bottom pf the ladder

and let experience govern the up­

ward climb rather than feel that a fairly good bank account, along with

absolute Ignorance of the work to be

undertaken, will help a newcomer

to outstrip the mature farmer whc has given years to the study and prac-

tice of a profession that needs much

besides real money to make satis­

factory successful.— Hartford Cour*

a meritorious collection.One can scarcely pick up a news­

tion. I t is the peculiarity of the’ age th^t makes poetry bo little appreci­

D IRT AND CLEANLINESS.

Their Meaning Not Realized Fifty

Years Ago, Says Prof. Sedgwick.

The two greatest services of the

nineteenth century, according to

Prof. W illiam T. Sedgwick, of the

Massachusetts Institute of Technol­

ogy, were the "discovery ot dirt and

the Invention of cleanliness." This statement was made by Dr. Sedg­

wick at the College of Physicians and

8urgeon&, where he delivered a lec­

ture on "Sanitation.""D irt was an unknown quantity

fifty yearB ago," said Prof. Sedgwick. "Any man or woman brought up in

the country before the Civil War w ill

tell you that, for dirt had not been

generally discovered at that late date. Personal cleanliness had indeed ar­

rived for the better Informed and the

The class at k irk had been read­

"Quite correct. And for how

and wickedness of these bad broth­

more detestable and heinous?"Then a bright little fellow

stretched out an eager hand.
