Iowa State Bystander BYSTANDER FUR. CO., Publisher DES MOINES. IOWA Imprinted by Bernhardt on the Hand of a Little Girl, it Wouldn't Come Off. A London lady who returned from Europe a few months ago tells a pretty story that concerns Sarah Bernhardt and two little girls, the daughters of Doctor Bull, the famous Paris oculist, who is a child. Bernhardt at the time was playing a window of the "Sleeping Beauty," and wanted a large doll to use as a baby in the play. In all Paris, however, she found it impossible to secure one that looked natural. The two little daughters of Doctor Bull were playing in one of the public gardens one day and had with them a very large and beautiful doll which had been sent them from America. The great happened to pass by where the children came and at once noticed their big doll. She dismounted from her carriage and came toward them. "Oh, children," she said, "that is just the dolly I want. Will you lend it to me for my play." "If mamma will let us we will lend it to you," said the elder of the two little maids. Madame Bernhardt inquired of their nurse who the children were and on being informed, took them all up in her carriage and drove to Doctor Bull's home. Mrs. Bull, of course, was delighted to be of service to the actress and the children's doll appeared in all the future performances. A day or so after the little incident tickets for a box for the performance arrived the children. They attended, and between the acts the little girls were to keen behind the scenes to meet their needs. "And now all the lady what the great actress did when you went behind," said Mrs. Bull to the elder of the little ones when the incident was being related. "Well, you know," said the child with great earmessness, "she stooped down and kissed my hand, and the kiss would not come off and my mother had to wash it off." Early Submarine The submarine was known in England as far back as the early years of the seventeenth century, when a submarine was navigated from Westminster to Greenwich by Cornelius Drebel of Alkmar, in Holland. Drebel, who enjoyed the patronage of James I, was sent to Eltham palace. The king expressed his intention of accompanying Drebel in one of his submarine voyages, but was dismayed by his courtiers, who alleged that Drebel was "in league with Old Nick". Drebel's boat was so constructed that, according to contests held by the surface of the water, and with out candle light, as much as he needd to read in the Bible or any other book." Bath Novelty. Carved wood bowls that float in the bathtub and hold one's favorite soap are one of the latest fads, but a bath bowl for another purpose was brought from Turkey by a native as a present to the friend he was wiling to buy about two inches deep, eight inches wide, made of brass, but as light in weight as aluminum. Many were the guesses as to its use, from a fern dish to a finger bowl, until the foreigner enlightened us: "It is the bowl we use in my country to lift water and pour it over the body when taking a bath in the bathroom in the bathrooms of America."—Good Housekeeping Magazine. First English Matches. Though the first match appeared in England as late as 1827, the idea seized a genius years before that date. This advertisement in a Morning Post of 1788 gives evidence: "For travelers, mariners, etc. Prometheus fire and phosphorus: G. Watts respectfully acquaints the public that he has prepared a large quantity of machines of a portable and durable kind, withprometheus fire, paper and match in almost most admirably calculated vessels, those disagreeable situations which most frequently arise in the dreary hour of midnight, from sudden alarms, thieves, fire or sickness." Regulating Foot Traffic Kansas City has decided that as a city grows it is very evident that all traffic on foot as well as on wheels must be controlled. It believes that the "say walker" is a menace to traffic in a busy city and will not permit him to stray from the road. Most of vehicles is strictly regulated and so increase the danger of accidents, nor will it allow him to cut corners. School Children Farmers. A special train, loaded with pristine agricultural products grown by school children in a state-wide garden context engineered by L. R. Alderman, state superintendent of schools in Oregon, will invade the east this fall. Oregon has applied scientific management to school gardening to demonstrate what children can do to develop the economic resources of the state, and check a backward and unpromising tendency toward overspecialization in agriculture in this growing commonwealth. Someone Man Unrecognized The most famous men may walk in public, disguised by the photographer and artist and quite unrecognised in the street. Not long ago Mr. Bullait (whose face I happen to know) started to walk in front of me along Pleasley, trailing an umbrella thoughtfully. I watched. Mr. Bullait walked a quarter of a mile through the middle of London and I saw him give his most indicative indication of his being by the turn of a head. No one knew him—London Chronicle. BY DR. Q. W. BELL, PINE BLUFF ARK, AN EX-SLAVE AND AN EX-STATE SENATOR. Many writers and public speakers claim that there is no real problem concerning the negro any more than that which relates to any other race; that the application of the "golden rule" will destroy it; that if he is given a square deal in the struggle of life and let alone, that he will solve it. Some advance the idea that wealth and education are the most potent factors and essential requisites necessary for its solution. But the one idea which attracts more attention than all the others combined is the indulgence in the cation which is "a better way of choosing and a better drawer of water," and chooses for him the south in preference to all the other countries of the earth. For 45 years past, more or less, these various propositions have been before the American people and the other civilized nations of the earth, and it is strange to say, yet it's true, that they are as far from the solution of this problem as they were when it first began. There are many elements in the formation of this all absorbing proposition which have never been discussed in the public forum heretofore; therefore admit the existence of this problem and understand it from the mind and conscience of the world. Pause the moment and look with me down through the archives of the ages and there we behold the relics of God's awful wrist lying upon the upon the existence of the highest manains. The carcasses of those God had so recently destroyed by the flood can be plainly seen and the stench of their decay is still fresh in the nostrils of Nimrod, the great-grandson of Noah and the grandson of Ham and the son of Cush, the first born of Ham instead of becoming awed and impressed as he gazed upon these great and mighty deeds of God, his indignation was fired to a burning desire to be revenued on God. He therefore planned to build a tower with a base deeply riveted in the borels of the earth and its topmost parts reaching the heavens of the earth. In the year division in the family of Nimrod then was the ruler of all the inhabitants of the earth. He undertook the most gigantic and heroic scheme that has ever entered the brain of mankind. God only could comprehend and overthrow his flagrant and contemp- ture scheme. There never has existed in the history of all the world since that eventful time such unity of mind and purpose as was concocted and cemented into a people as was matchlessly manifested by this wonderful and mighty one before the Lord. Beloved his audacity. After God had seized the earth and brought in building and checking the building of the Tower of Babel, Nimrod remained there and organized the first government upon the face of the earth after the flood. He planned and built the first Great City of Babylon and handed down the plans that enabled Asahur, the son of Shem, to build Nineveh on the River Tigris. How long he reigned and when he died we have no history. Centuries must have elapsed before the all conquering and haughty Hamatic family marched westward and planted their great cities of Sidon, Sodom and Gomorrah upon the west bank of the Mediterranean sea. It was from these centers that Europe, Asia and Africa were colonized. It was here that the world learned its first lessons in ship-building and commercial enterprise. Here the Phoenicians, the Cananites, the Phillistines, constituting three branches of the Homic family, conducted and carried on the most prosperous commercial supremacy that the world had ever seen. The world could come to comprehend the whole world! Shem one ask what the negroes have done in history answer them by pointing to their achievements. they by pointing to their attention to Mirrane, the second son of Ham, who was the founder of Egypt, and whose name means Egypt. He with his sons, Pathrushim, Ludim and Lehabim, migrated from Asia and settled, colonized and founded the garden spot of the earth. He was soon followed by Cush and Phut, the first and third sons of Ham. It was here in this rich and fertile country all the inventions and scientific discoveries were born! It is here we find the greatest wonders of the world! It was here that the world's greatest leader was reared and educated. Here God manifested himself to the Hamite family in a most practical manner in the Red sea. Here also be sent his son Jesus for protection. This scrap of history is enumerated and cited on account of the direct bearing it has in dealing with the world. In question you have followed me each day, began at the Tower of Babel, repeating itself at Sodom, Gomorrah, and in the Red sea. The negro is shown here to have invented the same of political fame, inventive ingenuity, philosophical acgency and the highest commercial supremacy! Yet notwithstanding the creak and overthrow at Babel, the thunderous tones of God in It is seldom that the amount of plant food in the soil is increased between planting and hatching time, but it is possible to change food that is indigestible or insecure, if you prefer, into plant food that will be dissolved by water, thus making it in a form such that the plant can use it. All of the food utilized by any plant must pass up through the root and stalk to where it is needed, and if it can do this only when a liquid form. his hearing at Mt. Sinai. The miraculous lessons God gave them when he overthrew Parachu in the Red sea, inexorable with his wealth and charisma of gold, he refused from time to time to accept God's messengers, who tried to teach them revealed religion. They were stiff-nocked and believed only in natural caucasians and that there was no God. If the Negro, after reviewing his conduct in ancient days, can catch a ray of hope, in which he is justified in drawing the inference from the memorable statement, "That before the end of time Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God," to mean that special favor and special opportunities afforded his past to merit them, there is no possibility for him in attaining them. If we can properly sum up his deeds as we have shown in his most active part played in building the Tower of Babel; his attempt to be revenged upon God, his maker, and his gross and beautify immorality; his utter and total nakedness; his highhanded and most wicked statement that there is no God, that all things exist from natural laws that spring up spontaneously without a God to govern and direct them; his rejection of Abraham, when God sent him among them to teach these worldly and most prosperous people the most skilled and the most powerful of men, in every respect all that human ingenuity, backed by its most potent factor, wealth, revealed religion! He marshaled all his forces both in Africa and Asia Minor and fought daily against the God of Israel; God overthrew the Negro king and drowned him with his host within the Red sea. He made David to kill the brazen and stubborn Negro Philistine, Goliath. God ordered every Negro killed who was found in the Promised Land. And those in Africa he overthrew and drove them from power; from all their beautiful cities, their wonderful pyramids, into the jungle of Africa and gave his inventions, the weapons and the weapons who at least acknowledged the existence of a God. The real, certain and comprehensive meaning of Ethiopia stretching forth her hands unto God may be summed up after this manner; I have tried you and you have absolutely rejected me, I shall sell you into strange lands, I shall heap durbens upon you and sting you with the lash of persecution until you can see the error of your wickedness and call upon me. When you do this I will harken unto you and try you once more. The Spanish, the Dutch and Portuguese, in fact every civilized nation upon the earth, were given a large bunch of the greatest men who have the most cruel treatment given to them submitted and cried unto God. In proportion to their moving into the glorious sunlight of Christianity their yoke was taken from their necks. Though they had been working the soil, fountains of knowledge were opened and the streams thereof were sent by, every Negro's door. The country was stocked with preachers and teachers of the Negro race. An industrial wave has swept over the race and has created the deepest interest. He is truly becoming skilled in all the arts and sciences that his ancient ancestors handed down in their early supremacy through the ages. Order that the Negro might learn and imbibe the elements of self-sacrifice and the missionary working spirit, God raised up in his midst such characters as Abraham Lincoln, Lovejoy, Harriett Beecher Stowe and Frederick Douglas, who were used as instruments of God to fire the heart and mind of all nations against over-enslavement. We have given given marching orders according to the light and reason of Christian obligations to carry the gospel training, together with the will, over which we had roamed and more than two hundred million are now roaming, stumbling over gold and diamonds and plucking berries and other natural products from the bushes of the forest like so many wild beasts without knowing their value. Are we so blind to reason that we cannot see that history repeats itself? Let us at this moment compare God's dealing with the Jews, a people who have more than an other race been wrapped up in history since the wood. The Jews were its substantial pictures in civic pride and the commercial prowess to the Jew and the Negro. It took the Negroes four hundred years to educate the Jews in order to teach them to make brick without stray; to learn and to become skilled in pottery, wood and iron. They knew absolutely nothing of these things, for they were a nomadic people living in tents before they were sent to Egypt. The Negroes had fallen into that same condition before they were taken from Africa. Joseph was sold by his brethren, so was the Negro. He was sold by Joseph's brethren had intended to kill him if they had not found captors until their prisoners captured from other tribes to death. But like Joseph's brethren, Arabs purchased them for the market and they were thus redeemed from a cruel death. The Jews were put to tasks, so were the Negroes. The Jews were learned in all the arts and sciences of the Egyptians, so are the Negroes imbbling these principles from every nation. Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln were our Aaron and Lincoln were our spies in the wilderness their most wonderful deliverance. Some would be leaders advised the going back into Egypt and to remain there rather than to bear the hardships which were necessary for their discipline in order to fit them to it helps to cause this change. Thus, when we help the bacteria that are causing this to take place we are increasing the amount of plant food available for the use of the corn plant, so that it may become large and strong, making it easier to change a large amount of this crude compound—starch, protein, fat, etc. That is all there is to a corn plant sayway—a large number of laboratories, each managed by faithful chemists. graphe with the great problems of fighting and building up the country which God had given them. The houses of all those old grabbers after the gold and silver which here represents the golden calf are in the desert. There are those among us who seem to be selected by our old task masters to persuade us to believe that the earth is the face of the earth more or better suited for us than our old land of bondage. These so-called leaders walk out or ride around in palace cars and lio! they see our brethren shot down, lynched and burned at the stake. Our women murdered and insulted and unlike Moses they are conspicuously silent. Such would-be leaders advise us to obey and love our old task master, to drop all political rights, do not bother with the medical and all the professions alone, but point with pride to southern fields, where live our "best friends," who on the slightest provocation show their friendship by giving "necktie parties." The ex-slaves in other parts of the world have become infected with the gizmos of selfishness and greed. Having been reared in an atmosphere every atom of selfishness and greed, the attributes, persecution and all the attributes of citizenship and all the same delaterious and baneful elements are handed down and freely imbibed by their children. Though educated and that under a low pressure standard within such an atmosphere, how can we expect to produce strong men and women possessing the true requisites of manhood and womanhood? Just as it is impossible to arouse a strong man to expect to form a foal atmosphere, which will impoverish and weaken every cell and tissue in the child's mechanism, so it must be with those who are forced to live under mental and oppressive conditions. Like the Jews, the Negroes are not grateful to God and the friends who almed him in gaining his freedom from bondage. What he has gathered in art and science from his neighbors, the Negroes seek to maintain the freedom of slavery. He is again forgetting God and is running after and building up the golden calf. This is the same spirit he imbibed from his old master. HOLES IN MACARONI DEVICE BY WHICH THE HOLLOW STRIP THAT FORM ARE PROBEDER Haven't you often asked, "How do they get the holes in macaroni?" Yes, you undoubtedly have, and unless you have visited a macaroni factory you are probably still in doubt. Interesting methods are employed in bringing this food into the form in which it is placed, before the public. After the dough has been well mixed and kneaded in a powerful machine it is ready to form into macaroni, which is of a tube shape about one-fourth inch in diameter, or spaghetti, which is a solid shape of about one-eighth inch in diameter. This is done by forcing the dough under hydraulic pressure through a cylinder with a flat circular bronze die or mold at the bottom. The macaroni die is full of holes about one-fourth inch in diameter, and each hole has a small pin in the center of it, which is attached to one side of the hole. This pin forms the hole in the macaroni and divides the dough on one side as it starts through the hole, but before the dough reaches the end of the hole the divided side comes together and remains so, making a perfect tube. This pin divides the dough into six holes about one-eighth inch in diameter arranged in groups. When macaroni and spaghetti come from the presses or cylinders they are cut into certain lengths, the length depending upon whether the curling or drying is to be done on trays or by hanging over rods. In curling or drying macaroni the length of time varies according to the process employed and to atmospheric conditions outside the factory and the standard of quality maintained. Some makers require only three days, while others take as many as six days—Omaha Bee. THE DOCTOR'S FEE. There came a leap in the rush of patients, and the doctor opened two small envelopes lying on his desk. "It's all right," he said. "I wasn't sure. Without offending I couldn't open the envelopes in the presence of the persons who gave them to me. I didn't know Englishmen who called close on each other's heels. English etiquette is rather embarrassing for a physician who is used to patients who hand over their money with the denomination right on top, American fashion. In England it would be considered an insult to give a physician his fee unwrapped. You can't insult an American physician with a newcomer with him as an exertion of stability and give him a good many uneasy moments wondering if he hasn't been underpaid."—New York Sun. AMERICAN SUNSHINE. Until a man has made the experiment it is impossible to believe how vivid and how severe on British eyes is the glare of the American sun, and also how impossible it is, no matter how strong British prejudice may be in that regard, to play golf in the coat which all the traditions of Scotland prescribe as decent. Very soon the Briton golfer in America will have the right to play golf in fluorous garment and will be going with light heart and light ralent—so called "in shirt sleeves" like the American himself—London Globe. A NOVEL WEDDING GIFT. A very dainty present for a bride is one of the new pot pourri basket made of silver with a delicately-cut open-work pattern through which the perfume of the dried petals is allowed to escape. A pierced lid lilis into the bottom of the basket to keep the pot pouri in place. If necessary this can be removed and the basket used to hold bon bon eggs. EXTRACTS FROM DR. BOOKER T. THE MAN, FARTED BEST DOWN In the present chapter I shall describe cultural issues in Italy, and in Hungary. While the situation of the farm hands in Hungary differs from that of the farm hands in Italy in many ways, there are two important respects in which the situation of each is the same. First, a large part of the land of both countries is held in large estates; second, farm laborers, as a rule, particularly in Hungary, do not live, as is the case in America the land. On the contrary, the well spain in villages, they are only attached to the soil they cultivate than the factory hand is tached to the factory in which he is employed. In Hungary, for example, it is the custom for a group of laborers to enter into a contract with the land owner during the summer to harvest his crop in the fall. A contractor, who either represents or employs a farm hand, will look over the field and bargain with the owner to do the harvest work for a certain percent of the crop. At the harvest time, the contractor arrives with his laborers. Just as he would come with a gang of men to build a house or with ditch. While the work is going on, the farmer and women together, practically camp in the fields, sleeping sometimes in the open fields, or in such scant shelter as they are able to find. It happened that I was in Hungary at the harvest time and, in the course of my journey through the country, I had several times seen these gangs of men and women going to their work at daybreak. In this part of the country, the strangest co-tumes are by these peasant people, who wear bright kerchiefs and their bright kerchiefs over their heads, their short skirts and high boots, when they are not barefooted, were quite as pictureque as anything I had read had led to be expect. The field hands go to work at early dawn during the harvest season. They work sometimes as much as 16 to 18 hours a day, I have been told, and then throw themselves down to rest for a few hours under a single blanket. After the harvest is over they return again to their villages. Working in this way, in troops of wandering laborers, there was no room for any permanent relationships between themselves and their employers; such relationships, for example, as exist in spite of the difference of race and color, between every white planter in the south and his negro tenants. On the other hand, the hand, the laborers, working and living together in the way I have scribed come to have different senses, interest, all the more, perhaps, because they are looked down upon by the rest of the population, and particularly by the small land owners, with whom they had been associated up to the time of their emancipation in 1848. About 1850, a series of harvests, coming on the heels of other changes which, for a number of years, had made their lives steadily harder, helped to increase the discontent of the agricultural laborers. Thus it was that when, them, the people retained their attention to the agricultural population of Hungary, they found the people prepared to listen to their doctrine. What made socialism the more popular among the lowest farming classes was the fact that it not only promised to teach the farm laborers how they might increase their wages, but declared that the state was going to take over the landowners of the large land owners and divide it among the people who cultivated it. What made the situation the more difficult was the fact that, as soon as they were thoroughly organized, the agricultural laborers had the landowners, during the harvest time, at a peculiar disadvantage because when they were growing grain ripened and spoiled and the landowner was ruined. In the emergency created by these strikes, the government came to the rescue of the landowner by establishing recruiting stations for farm laborers in different parts of the country. Collecting laborers in those parts of the country where labor was abundant, they shipped them to other parts of the country. In the strike laborers were scarce and crops were in danger. Thus the government had at one time a reserve force of not less than 10,000 strikebreakers with which it was at any moment able to come to the rescue of a landowner who was threatened. One effect of these disturbances was to greatly increase the amount of emigration to America. In 1804 when the struggle was at a height, no less than 100,000 landowners in country districts, amigrated from Hungary. Thousands of others left the country and moved into the cities. The exodus of the farm laborer from Hungary threatened, in spite of the rapid increase of the population, to permanently check the rising prosperity of that country. It was soon found that the great landowners could not rely upon repressive measures alone to solve their labor problems, and that they should dress the grievance and to improve the condition of the agricultural population. Relief funds were organized in 64 counties and boroughs to aid temporarily disabled workmen. Public Numerous petitions that have been received by members of the United States house and senate asking for an appropriation to exterminate and control the ravages of the alfalfa leaf weevil have led Representative Ruther of Colorado to introduce a bill appropriating the sum of $10,000 for the investigation of the best methods of exterminating the pests destructive of the alfalfa plant, and the further appropriation of $15,000 for the purpose of prises and diplomas were offered to laborers who were faithful to their masters. Something was also done to brighten the monotony of the agricultural laborer's life and strengthen the ties between the laborers and employers. At the suggestion of the minister of agriculture an attempt was made revive the harvest lease which brought the farmer and his laborer together, working women's clubs, Hierarchy friendly and co-operative were encouraged by the government. A popular weekly paper, printed in seven different languages was started for the benefit of agricultural laborers and as a means of agricultural education. A bill for life insurance against accidents and old age for the benefit of agricultural laborers provided that if a laborer loses more than a week's time, he shall receive in addition to the expenses of doctor and medicine, a sum amounting to about 25 cent. for 60 hours of the death of an agricultural laborer, his family receives an amounting to something between 340 and 550. In Italy the socialistic movement among the agricultural classes has taken a somewhat different course. For one thing, it was not confined merely to the poorest class, namely, those laborers who live in the villages and go out at certain seasons to assist in the work on the farms, extend to the small farms, and also to the large estates land. In many cases, the large estates in Italy are not managed as in Hungary by the proprietor, but by middlemen and overseers, who pay a certain amount of rent to the proprietor and then sublet to tenants. Sometimes, particularly in southern Italy, lands are sublet again a second and third time. In many cases, the terms upon which the land was held and worked by the small farm are not obviously operable in northern Italy, where conditions are said to be incomparably better than in the south. Although the peasants in northern Italy were normally given their freedom in 1973, their condition, until a few years ago, has been described by one who was himself a large land proprietor as, "a little better than if they were slaves." In addition to the high rents, the tennant former was compelled to furnish the overseer with a certain number of chickens and eggs, and certain amount of peaches, nuts, figs, bemp, and flax, in proportion to the amount of land he rented. The overseer claimed, also, just as the overlord did in the days of feudalism, the rights to the labor of the peasant and his or cart for a certain part of every year. His children were expected to work as a nominal price in his house child at a nominal price. The overseer sold the crop of the tenant farmer, and after deducting all that was coming to him, for rent and other charges, returned the remainder to the tenant farmer as his share of the year's work. In one case where, as a result of the revolt of his tenants, the middle man was driven out, the tenant farmer, under the direction of the socialist leaders, undertook to rent the land directly from the landowners. It was found that the middle man had been appropriating not less than 45 per cent. of the profits, which, under the new arrangement went directly into the hands of the man who tilled the soil. In recent years, co-operative organization of all kinds have multiplies among the small farmers of northern Italy. There are societies for purchasing supplies as well as for disposing of the products of the small farmers: the most important of them have been, perhaps, the cooperative credit organizations, by means of which the small landowners have been able to escape the burden of the heavy interest charges they were formerly compelled to pay. There is much in the history of the agricultural laborers of Hungary and Italy that is interesting to any one who has studied the condition of the negro farm laborer in the south. In many respects their history has been the same. There is, however, this difference. They were negroes in Hungary, as in most other parts of Europe, provision was made to give them land, though to a very large extent they were denied the political privileges enjoyed by the upper classes. In Italy also it was intended, in giving the serfs freedom and again when the vast estates of the land were taken out to create a large class of small owners and to give them land to the people who tilted it. In both cases, however, it was but a few years before the greater portion of the peasant owners were wiped out and their lands had been absorbed into the large estates. At the present time, the small land owners, under the influence of education and agriculture organization, are gaining more land, and in the interest of agriculture, are seeking to encourage this movement. The case of the negro was just the opposite. When the masses of the negro people were turned loose from slavery, they carried in their hand, the ballot that they did not know how to use, but they took no property with them. At the present time, I believe, by a conservative estimate, that the negroes in the south own not less than 400 million acres of land, an area greater than the size of our New England states of Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. On the other hand, the negroes have largely lost, at least temporarily, many of the political privileges which were given them at emancipation. The experience of the peasants of Europe, just as the experience of the devising means to check the spread of such pests, to be used in co-operating with common carriers, agricultural colleges and other means which may be devised to prevent the destruction of the alfalfa industry. Just because young calves are fed milk is no excuse for depriving them of water also. They need the water, and it should be pure. nagro in America, has served to confirm an opinion I have long held, namely, that it is very hard for a man to keep anything that he has not earned or does not know how to use, and, in most cases, the best way and, in fact, the only way, to insure any people in the possession either of gifts for their own good or gifts, is to fit them by education to them gifts for their own good and for the highest good of the community in which they live. ONE OF THE EARLY WILDCAT GET-RICH QUICK SWINDLES The "Mississippi scheme" was one of the famous get-rich-quick bubbles in the world's history. Thousands of people in France were swept to ruin in it, and the infant king's reign in its early years was practically discredited by it. This pioneer of get-rich-quick schemes was the work of John Law, a notorious promoter of financial bubbles and freemised financier of the period when Louis XV. ascended the throne of France in 1715, at the age of five years, under the regency of Philip, duke of Orleans. At thirteen the little king was declared of are. Law was the son of a goldamth of Edinburgh and early turned his attention to the question of public finances, always leaning toward the spectacular. Presently he came to be known as a skilful gambler and juggler of finances. He was finally forced to quit England for the killing of an antagonist in a duel, going to the continent, where he lived by his wits as a professional gambler until in 1716, when he landed in Paris. He soon ingratified himself with the regent, the Duke of Orleans, who authorised him to establish a sort of government appointed him to the management of it. Soon afterward Law created the Mississippi company, a monumental scheme for the payment of the entire national debt and the enrichment of every person in France who chose to subscribe for it. The promoter obtained for his gilded enterprise a water tight monopoly of the entire trade of France from the Cape of Good Hope eastward to all the other parts of Africa, to Peru, India, China, Japan, and even to the strait of Macellan. The French people took to Law's frenzied scheme with a rush. They put into it every penny they could beg, borrow or seal. But one day the bubble was pricked and every investor in it went to sudden and complete ruin. Thousands of families that had been rated as wealthy found themselves in a flood of money. France howling maledictions at his luckless heels. He became a wandering vagrant and died a few years later in Venice. CURIOUS CONTRASTS AUTHOR WHOSE WRITINGS AND METHODE WERE CONTRASTIQUE A man of genius when he writes a book and "all the god comes rushing into his soul" is in an abnormal state and hence lives of men of letters have often been in glaring contrast to their writings. Montalge tells us that he always observed supercestial opinions to be accompanied with subterranean morals. On the other hand, the most lattitudinarian professors of episcaranism have often lived like anchortes or trappists. Some of the best sea songs have been written by men who never sawn a salt water breeze, stirring war songs have been written by timid men and women who would have shrieked at the sound in the very spirit of devotion have been written by men of doubtful morality, who were never less at home than in a Christian church. Charles Lamb was ready to wager that Milton's morning hymn in Paradise was penned at midnight, and we know positively that Thompson, who sang the praises of early rising in the "Seasons," used to lie abed till noon. Sir Richard Steele could discourse eloquently on temperature when he was not drunk. Woodworth in his "Old Oaken Bucket" sang the praises of cold water under the brandy. Dr. Johnson, who wrote so well on politeness, interrupted his opponents with "You lie, sir!" A a vile Whig, Whig, Burns was a compound of "dirt and detry Rouseau, who was baked, baked, baked, and slandered his benefactors in turn and sent his children to the foundlings' hospital. When Moore proposed to Scott to go and see Meirlose by, Sir Walter had described it, by moonlight, "Fooh, pooh," said Scott, "you don't suppose I ever saw it on moonlight!" — William Matthews Sainte Beuve's Monday Chats. U. 8. FARM LIBRARIES. The United States bureau of education, which is of recent establishment, is introducing a scheme for bringing a circulating library to the home of every farmer in the United States. The plan is to place from 100 to 150 books of suitable character in charge of the local storekeeper or postmaster, and to pay him a small salary for handling them. The books will be renewed every three months. The books will be of a character desired by the readers as far as possible. Collections may be loaned to schools. The plan is patterned after that tried in Yan Wert county, Ohio, for many years. Many farmers will allow or force their cattle and hogs to drink water that their horses won't need. If the horses refuse the water, it should not be given to the other animals, for although their noses are not so sensitive they are subject to diseases from the same causes. Do not allow heat to drink ice water. The house's stomach is very small, and liquid readily pass from it into the blood. Many horses are chilled every winter from drinking ice water. The Farm GEESE ARE HEALTHY. Geeese as farm poultry are not valued as much as their many good qualities deserve. It is predicted that geeese will rise in popularity from now on, as turkeys are declining in numbers at present, owing to the ravages everywhere by turkey diseases. Geeese, on the other hand, are very healthy animals and free from disease. A sick goose is saddom if ever seen, and gooslings are strong and hardly almost birth. mends two approved kinds of dips, one of tobacco and sulphur and the other of lime and sulphur. Either of these preparations will kill the mites if the dipping is properly done. The petrol eum dip is also used with success. Since these dips will relieve the animals there is little excuse for allowing the animals to suffer and injuring themselves, as well as lower their tally by permitting the scab to get a start. As soon as the disease shows itself it should be thoroughly bated. The farmer who has a few One quality that commends geese over other poultry is that they live and are productive to a great age. A 5 or 10 year old goose is as active, prolific and as good a bird as one a year or two of age. Being large birds, and making noise at night, they are seldom taken by predatory animals. A goose will lay from forty to sixty eggs during the late winter and spring season, and the eggs are worth at a minimum of 5 cents a epilee, which is from $2 to $3 a year for eggs from a single bird. Where a good breed is kept and the eggs sold for breeding purposes, they are worth from 10 to 80 cents a epilee. The eggs for market or breeding purposes find ready sale, hence a good flock of geese on the farm will pay a handsome revenue. Besides this, the mature goose can be picked several times during the summer and early fall. The feathers from a single goose will bring more than a dollar each year. The product of eggs makes the goose a large bird on the care and feed of a birds. The bird itself, alive or dressed for market, will bring groom $1 to $2, according to breed and finish. There are two other advantages in raising geese. One is that they require only low and inexpensive shelters, and the other is that they live on grass and herbage almost entirely during all the weeks when any greens are to be added. They live on only ordinary good pasture, the old geese as well as the goslings. In corn or other crops of large cultivated plants, geese can be pastured after the crop is too large for them to injure, and they will aid materially in keeping down wild grass in the cultivated crop. In this way, the assiduity in caring for white gleaning geese. The cost of keeping a goose for the entire year is comparatively small. Set the first eggs the mother goose lays under hens, but allow her to incubate the second clutch. When the goslings are out of the shell, give them nothing to eat for the first two days, but leave them in the nest undisturbed. The first feeds for the young birds should be of water, fine grit, mashed hard bolided eggs with bread crumbs, and finely chopped, tender vegetables, such as lettuce and young onion tops. A variety of greed feed from the stems is what they need, from the stems to few weeks old they may be turned to grass, when they will require nothing else but good water. The young goslings, like other young birds, is tender at first, and hence it must be protected from wet and cold till it becomes strong and resistant. Sheltter them till after they are fully feathered. Picking can begin after the wings are crossed, and every six weeks thereafter. Do not pick after cool weather comes in autumn, as the feathers are needed for warmth and the feathers will reduce the yield the following spring. Goose feathers are worth on the open market about 75 cents a pound. The heavier breeds of geese can be made to weigh from 16 to 20 pounds each, and they are much in demand as market fowls for all holidays, from Thanksgiving to Easter. Another advantage of the heavier breeds is that they are easily confined. They can be easily pastured in a field with low woven wire fences, the same as for eggs. When confined on limited pastures, they can be weighed when they be prevented from injuring young cultured crops, and they become less troublesome, when properly handled, than any other farm animals. Geees make some noise, it is true, but their noise 'sounds good to us' when we think of the large eggs they lay and the nice feathers they yield. SCAB ON SHEEP. Scab or scables is an irritation of the skin leading to the formation of crusts or scabs. The disease is similar to the mange on other animals, and is caused by a parasitic mite, so small that it is scarcely visible to the unaided eye. This mite does not live in any considerable length of time except the bodies of sheep, therefore contagion can be only from sheep or from pigs or porcine, and recently occupied by sheep affected with the disease. The scab is never fatal to sheep, but it greatly weakens the animal and severe its vitality, so as to make it difficult to resist adverse conditions. In their efforts to relieve themselves of itching mites the sheep will also shed of large quantities of wool. The Federal government has been making efforts to stamp out the disease for years, with the sheep intended for interstate commerce must be properly dipped. The department of agriculture recom- In removing the dead wood from suppression, as well as for many other uses, peeling the hook illustrated will I found of invaluable interest.

This enables the router to cut off the vices much mends two approved kinds of dip, one of tobacco and sulphur and the other of lime and sulphur. Either of these preparations will kill the mite if the dipping is properly done. The petroleum dip is also used with success. Since these dip will relieve the animals there is little excuse for allowing the animals to suffer and injure them, as well as lower their vitality by the poisoning it starts a start. As soon as the disease shows itself it should be thoroughly combated. The farmer who has a few sheep can wage a more successful fight than the man who has many, and the dipping will pay for itself in the increased hardiness of the animals and greater production of wool. FEEDING ON NARROW MARGIN. Feeding steers for profit is a precarious business, according to most of the experts. With a fair break in luck a net profit of $4 a head is all that one can expect from four or five months' dry lot feeding. One feeder estimates the expense of feeding as follows: One 1,000-pound steer is $5 per 100 ..... $50.00 60 bushels of corn at 40 cents a bushel ..... 24.00 Total cost ..... $74.00 At the time for selling, the steer will probably weigh 1,300 pounds, and the sale price will be about $6 a hundred. The steer then brings $78, a profit of $4 on the animal. These figures show that the 100-pound gain on the steer, costing $24 in feed, was sold for $18, an actual loss. However, the cattleman makes his profit because of the rise in the price of beef. Since beef feeding is run on such a small margin, why do so many engage in it. The answer is that the products are more valuable than the product itself. Hogs are an important source of profit, and the replenishment of the steers' pasture in fertility will often be a source of even greater gains. Feeding steers is also a means of keeping the farmer busy in winter, and the consumption of his corn on the farm saves the trouble and expense of marketing the corn /direct. Feeders who enter the business on borrowed money are operating on a margin which is even narrower and it is likely that some of them are operating at a loss. It would pay many to keep accounts just to make sure that they are coming out ahead. POULTRY POINTER8. Avoid soft mashes, but supply the hens with all the milk of any kind they will consume. A variety of dry grains are excellent for egg production, and wheat leads the list. Provide dry coops and quarters for the chicks as they arrive. Keeping their feet always on dry ground or on a dry board floor will prevent much淋雨. Late hatched pullets last year were not mature enough for winter laying, yet they will begin to lay this spring and 'continue all summer when most of the other hens are off duty. Eggs are a wholesome substitute for meat, and those who must buy meat should use eggs liberally for food at this session. They are much healthier than meat as a diet, and when they fall below the 20-cent man they are fully as accurate as eggs, egging session opens in February. The hens need all the animal and mineral matter they will consume. Green stuff and good water will complete their perfect ration. Now is the time to begin to clean up in the poultry houses and to fight lice and disease. We need to keep the enemies down in warm weather. Whitewash. IN AND AROUND THE DAIRY Cows like molasses and as it makes other feed taste good, naturally aids digestion and is a good thing to skip. When calves begin to scour skip a feed or two and they will generally come around all right in a short time. A slovenly man who does not milk the cows clean at every milking will scour them up. Besides, imperfect milk may lead to serious udder trouble. Never take a very young calf away from its mother and put it on skim milk. Taper it off from whole milk to skim milk gradually. An Oregon grocer in a dairy community has worked up a big business by delivering goods to his customers within a radius of five miles the same time he gathers up the cream from his stock. Orders for goods pour in to him by telephone every morning before he starts out. Carlotta, the Missouri cow that produced $270 worth of butter in one year, is nine years old, has had seven calves and never was sick, in her life. Her grain ration is, corn chopped, bran, oats, gluten meal and lined meal. She gets at least three of these ingredients every time she is fed. closer to the crown than with the ordinary tool for this work. When stuffed into a long handle it can be employed with success in cutting strawberry runners by using the blade on back of hook, thus avoiding the back-breaking labor of stooping ever as with the usual tool for this work. As the heavy egg-laying season comes on, provide the hens with the crushed egg shells they will eat to make egg shells. DOES THE PRESS CIVILIZE? BY PROF. MASON A. WHITEFIELD, JACKSON, MISS. When John Gutenberg and Laurens Jansson Caster perfected the plans of movable typography, they made a contribution that holds within its clutches an everlasting influence to mankind. The printing press is a veritable power for good or for evil. There is indeed great comfort as with an pleasure in retiring among the writers, in the art of printing and spending the time in gleaning silent facts from the printed page. This quiet room may contain thousands or even hundreds of thousands of printed pages, but none of these have more popular or higher values than the daily paper. Its journey is that from the pent-up convictions of a vibrating world. Its influence is therefore both magical and tragical. Men are being shaped and hammered in this the most dominant foundation of the world, less than useless to attempt to change a man from processes of crystallized newspaper convictions whatever their character. The position that the press holds is therefore one of importance. As the wind carries the refreshing raindrop to the thirsty cells of the vegetable kingdom, so do these flying messengers fill the hungry intellect of man. They further demonstrate the well-known fact of man's being a social creature and is lonely when alone. The fact that the newspaper one fact it can be indisputably conjectured that the newspaper will forever serve as a connecting link and a modifier of civilization. We have noted that intense interest is centered in the paper. On the holy Sabbath its power displaces the monotony of all secular lore; surely, there is seldom or never any time to read the Bible. If perchance a copyrighted sermon or Sunday-school lesson is put in the daily paper on Sunday the reader may scan over it. The reader may go to sleep. Secular affairs always are given first place. The ideas obtain then that the newspaper is a power any way it is taken. Next we will note its object. Observation discloses two facts that the average newspaper exists for: first, to make money; secondly, to civilise. In this day the mund rush of greed and gain has about asphyxified the term "intellectual" in its use has largely degenerated into a barren superficiality. Moralists have long since agreed that mere intellectual training is not a prerequisite to higher spiritual training and living. Some of the blackest characters painted on the pages of history were of giant intellect. So a man who is intellectually gifted may, and oftentimes will, assimilate the world spirit and fall victim to crime. The real object of the press, generally speaking, is lost sight of in the last analysis. The average newspaper man was as much called to go and plow corn as the old darkest man was. In the book, we will disclose this fact under the subject head "Abuse of Power." The position, the power and the object of the press have all been considered. It is now timely to know how it is abusing the privilege of good service. To be more specific, we submit the exact mind and temper of its daily visitations: (a) dominance of materialistic ideas; (b) sports; (c) advertisements; (d) sensations, as grafts, murders, hiding, embelishments, rape, lyaching; (e) all forms of intemperate speech and habits; (f) low politics. How is the press abusing its privilege by publishing these facts in the press? Truly, they should. Holy Writ exposed the diaconal conduct of Judas Iscariot but not without moral considerations to others. Notice, Christ knew the man's intention prior to the act and issued general warning so as to save even Judas, if he had accepted. Can one be persuaded to believe that there is much ethics in the life of this great press army in America when crime is running rampant in the face of daily exposition? Is it not true that man is growing intellectually wise and morally weak? Does not the temper (spirit) of the general moral conception rest upon fine-spun phraseologies of speech rather than helpful influences? The man must be aware of the details of a national or local scandal as a mere matter of entertainment is near as noble as he into whose mind these evils had not crept. Since the article read is nude of ethical temper, he, like humanity in general, only years for an opportunity. Before leaving this paragraph, perhaps the words of Mr. Alfred H. Fried, before the great Inter-Historical congress in London, England, who spoke on "The Press as an Instrument of Peace," might turn on some light. Mr. Fried said: "The far greater part of the press in all countries, and especially in the largest number of people, are hungrily swallowed by millions of readers, take no interest in promoting civilization and the peaceful development of peoples and races. Their only interest is to oust their rivals in providing the greatest possible sensation and so secure the largest editions. The consequences of this are most mischievous. In the first place millions of readers learn nothing of the great changes in society; for this action is not sensational, but slow and silent. Secondly, they learn all the more of un civilized activity—of crime, violence and unrest. They are led to form the GLASS FOR FRUITS. Fruit cultures have recently received the use of fruit walls of glass instead of masonry, with interesting results. With a glass wall the same kind of fruit can be grown on both the north and south sides. The results in the case of pear trees are said to be most excellent, the fruit grown on the north side of the wall being equal to that grown on the south side, and even smoother. Good results have also been obtained in the case of errocious opinion that the world is full of crime and is simply kept under control by force. Thirdly, the great hate with which news is published, in view of rival papers, leads to a good deal of inaccuracy, and the reader has a very bad account of the real events. Fourthly, the announcements very frequently do not correspond to facts. They are inventions." We will close this quotation with the thought expressed by Mr. Fried in his next paragraph: "Hence the press that needs sensation as a condition of its existence has no interest in serving the cause of peace. It has all the more interest in infilming the people against each other. The worker's international entreaty is maintained to the international peace, but no person acquainted with the American press can fall to see the full effects of those truthful words. Our sole reference has been to the avaricious, merciless, secular press. As its mission is materialistic rather than moralistic, and since material possessions do not necessarily produce greatness of spirit, the secular press does not civilize the people in the true sense. We concur with Mr. Fried where he says, the action of civilization is "slow and silent." This is true if the forces of nature themselves count anything. The coal fields of Pennsylvania, the gold mines of California, the diamond beds of the Dakota, each and all are exemples of this "slow and silent" action of forces. The idea of exudence stands to play in secular journalism, as we said by one of old, ye cannot serve God and mammon. he cannot go "fast" and make character; his one ambition is to make money; hence, he goes "fast" and misrepresents. Let us not deepalr, dear reader, there is a mighty army in the world whose movements upon the mind are as "slow" and "silent" as the forces alluded to above. Like the monster icebergs that lay way through ocean currents, they are destined to break to fragments the convictions of false pilots. What if it takes a thousand years? Will it all not serve to magnify the name of our God? Where in all Christ tendon today can you find one be that does not enjoy resting. Belshazzar and the means of his overthrow. Our optimism leads us to believe that as generations come and go, the Almighty's influence will so modify the temper of the times that the same press that is now working mischief will set type to print and disseminate spiritual food of the highest quality. Some wise one of spiritual vision said not long ago that ours is an age of prophetic fulfillment. He said Christ came as an embodiment of all that spiritually concerns us. Now the railway car is the vehicle and theagraph and the telephone are prophetic visions of preceding ages. If that be true the prophets saw the humble efforts of journalism which began among the Chinese early in the tenth century (A. D. 925) and has developed into presses sending forth thousands of sheets per hour. "Then I turned and lifted up mine eyes, and looked and behold a flying roll. . . Then he unto me, this is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth." (Zech. 5:1:3). Parallel to this another prophet wrote: "And when I looked, behold a book of a book was therein . . . and it was written within and without; and there was written therein lamentations and mournings and woe." (Ezek. 2:9, 10.) We are not in position to say whether a scene of twenty centuries after Christ fitted before the spiritual gaze of these holy men or not. But most surely, some of their statements correspond with existing facts and conditions of our day. (1) The morning and evening papers do go "flying" to the habitats of civilization in the machines of the earth. (2) Their machines do consist of "mentations," "mournings," and "woe." No wonder the other prophet has told that "this is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth." If the wisdom of antiquity did espy this day, it does not imply that there will be an incessant reign of conditions. The trend of events in all history justifies this conclusion. Christ told his pupils of a time of persecution because of belief in him, but exhorted them to stand fast. Today there has been a great acceptance in the abstract sense. It seems natural for great gifts to receive abuse at the first hands of his man nature. Human speech has been made to develop for divine intent, so can it be said that Zechariah's "flying rock" (the newspaper) has such intent, since it is a popular vehicle in which loaded thought-shells (words and sentences) ride. That it will finally redound to the glory of God is made evident in these words: "The Lord gave the word; the creation of those who thought it." (Ps. 69:11). Hence, it is shown that the newspaper occupies a pre-eminent position as a civilizing agency, but it is handicapped by those seeking selfish interests, actuated by vicious 'impulses. The voice of Christianity will eventually drive out this satanic principle as the apologies did the spirit of divination from the young damself. Or, more sweepingly, as the man among the toms out of whom our Savior drove many demons and restored him to sanity of reason. This hope is the reason for millions or more souls, struggling through hardships in the poisonous stream of American sentiment created by mischief-working journalism. peaches and apples. The principal objective made to the glass wall is that it does not store up heat like a masonry wall to keep the plants warm at night. During the daytime the heat is nearly equal on both sides of the wall—Scientific American. LUMBER PRODUCTION. The per capita annual production of lumber in this country is now approximately 600 board feet, and was probably a little greater in 1897. Of Interest to Our Women Inches will count this season, and the daughter of the gods, divinely tall, will be fashion's favorite peg for the new mode's display. It stands to reason that the ideal figures will be the one that measures five feet eight or nine, for the introduction of panniers and bounces, big sleeves, a greater skirt width, and, above all, curves, makes it necessary that there should be height to "carry the weight" of the clothing. The tiny woman rejoiced in the Empire toilet, with its high waisted effect and the straight silhouette of the one piece dress, because those fashions disguised the proportions of her physique and gave her height. If her build was in perfect proportion she had no need to mind what modes she adopted, but as there were ideally planned frames, those voguees added to the majority of small women. Under fashion's new regime, as at present understood, there are many conditions that are exceedingly trying to the small in stature. As the waist is to be more defined and placed in its natural position the straight allouette卧 addeparts. Then, in order to indicate the curve of the waist, we are to be more notable display of drapery upon the hips, not amounting to much, it is true, but apparently greater, than the clinging tightness of the hobble skirt's form. And what is more, the new sleeves are longer than the old. The leg of mutton pattern is a newly resuscitated attraction, and that, while it draws attention to the delicacy of the waist measurement, distinctly detracts from a woman's height. We are we contrive to make the most of our inches' a maker of modes was asked the other day. "Don't forget how useful your headgear can be made," was the _reply_. "Provided the ruse is not palpable, a hat with a high crown can be relied upon to add just the requisite number of inches required to balance large sleeves and fuller skirt draperies. "Then there is the tail neckband to render help. It gives the figure a much more stately look than the turned over Puritan collar, and suggests height. "It is really wonderful in what subtle ways inches can be gained by suggestion. I mean, or shall we say lilac." "A woman who has made a study of the matter—she must be sixty by now, and has broadened with the years and shortened, as elderly women will, yet is apparently as elegant as ever—says she never wears white gloves unless she puts on a white frock. VEGETABLES AS A MEDICINE Persons are coming more and more to understand the call of nature for her own remedies, which may be had in the daily bill of food if rightly chosen. The need for the body to be thus supplied will in a measure account for all members of a single family not caring for the same dishes at the same meal, says an exchange. Food specialists are now studying the question of natural vegetable cures and are teaching people the value of the common fruits and vegetables when used as medicine for variousills. The pineapple is a sort of complete medicine chest in itself for derangements of the stomach. It has been regarded as an indigestible food, but this was because it was not known that no particle of the pulp should ever be swallowed, for this cellular mass is in truth completely indigestible and should not be permitted to pass to the stomach. The juice only should be removed from the mouth. It should never be eaten with sugar, but always with salt. The sugar with the acid makes a bad combination. Scientists have discovered of late that the juice of the pineapple contains a digestive principle very much like pepsin, the action being the same, and it is recommended as a cure for dyspepsia. It has been found that the juice acts upon the caesin of milk just as rennet does, and the experiment has been tried of placing a slice of raw beef between two thick slices of fresh pineapple, and the character of beef has been compared to the action in three or four hours. The action of the juice, like pepsin, is digestive. Pineapple juice is now being made use of by physicians in cases of diphtheric throat and croup, the false membrane being dissolved by the powerful, insidious acid of the tropic fruit. It brings quick relief. It now appears regarded as one of the best cures for malaria and for syriptias. The best way to take them medicinally is raw; the chemical properties of the acid are then complete, whereas in cooking they are somewhat weakened. There are two delicious varieties of the acid in a salad and in a beverage. As a salad the largest, ripest berries are selected, washed and cut in halves with a dressing of olive oil, lemon APPETIZING JELLIES It is well to have at hand some good jelly, so that the invalid can take a spoonful between meals. Chicken jelly is always liked, but if the patient is on milk diet for a three-milk jelly will be found very good. Put half a gill of water and three sheets of gelatine into a saucepan with about six humps of sugar (or more if liked); leave the pan on the fire until all have dissolved, whisk up half a gill of cream slightly, then add half a plait. juice and egg. As a beverage the cranberries are crushed and left to soak in water over night. The acid in the water is extremely refreshing and cooling to the blood. The cooked cranberries are excellent for clearing the blood and blood, and should be eaten in large quantities. Onions are one of the most potent of the vegetables. For nervous troubles they are a tonic and should be eaten in great quantities, either nkhuana-uepwhwwo f mebwe u s* or cooked very simply, and eaten without any other vegetable. Baking thoroughly is the best method of cooking onions when they are to be used as a medicine. They should then be eaten with butter and a very little salt. It is also important that all foods of nervous posttraction have been cured by a persistent diet of onions, whole wheat bread and butter and raw eggs, varied with a few simple desserts and pinnapple eaten with salt. Onlons also cure sleeplessness. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Diluted oxalic or tartaric acid will remove ink stains from books without injuring them. All cooking utensils should be washed immediately after they have been used, which will remove every trace of grease. To put a new wick in any lamp burner quickly thread a needle first, run the thread across the wick and pass needle through burner. When selecting poultry see that the feet are soft and moist, the eyes clear and the flesh plump. Salt water will clean bamboo furniture and Chinese and Japanese matting and will prevent it from turning yellow. If a painful of lime is kept in the pantry where the preserves and jellies are stored it will prevent them from molding. A tablespoonful of melted cocoa or chocolate stirred into the poor man's rice pudding quite changes the dessert. Salt on the fingers when clearing fowls, meat or fish will prevent anplug. In the small piece of sine is burned in with the coal occasionally it will coat the interior of the chimney so that soot will not form in it. If rice is cooked in water it will absorb three times its measure. If it is cooked in milk at least half as much more liquid will be necessary. Do not rub fabrics roughly between the hands when cleaning them. It will be found sufficient to rub the cleaning fluid in gently with a fresh cloth. To simmer is to boil slowly: if the liquor throws up bubbles above its surface it is boiling at a gallop and will harden any meat that is cooking in it. THE TASTY SALAD Carrots and string beans make an excellent combination. Cauliflower is another vegetable which should be marinated with the French dressing; serve with a bolted dressing. Heart-shaped and cucumbers tossed up with a cream dressing are served on lettuce or other green leaves. Bananas or strawberries should be served on nests of lettuce with a mayonnaise made without mustard and whitened with whipped cream. Lemon makes a pretty garnish. Young dandelion leaves wash and then chilled with very crisp lettuce with spring onions, are tasty. Serve with a French dressing and with little bacon riced yolk of egg. Another way of serving dandelions as a salad is to chop the cooked ones and serve with a French dressing made with bacon fat instead of oil. A good salad combination is pepper shells filled with shredded cabbage mixed with mayonnaise and served with cream cheese is delicious served on a bed of green with a French dressing. The canned pimentoes, or sweet green peppers, stuffed with cream cheese and sliced, make an attractive salad. Garnish with green and serve with a French dressing. The cream cheese of any kind, if molded in small cups, make a tasty salad, served with French dressing or mayonnaise. Cream cheese balls, or the yolks of hard-boiled eggs, riced, and the whites shredded, make a nice accompaniment. Kidney beans. Sender summer peppers, tender parts and seasoned with shredded sweet green pepper, make a happy salad combination. RESTORE FADED UPHOLSTERY.

Though a man's body attains its full growth before his twenty-four year, and probably earlier than that, he has never depended on himself. He can continue waiting to the sum of his knowledge and his power to reason until extreme old age if he preserves his mental alertness. As long as he retains a fair measure of that curiosity about things which often make him a nuisance when a boy and is interested in new people, new sights, new books and the thousand and one things that are happening today, his mind continues to grow. But when a man finds that change hones him and himself the more and after day, he is really growing old mentally as well as physically. This premature ageing of the brain is often self-induced. There is a class of men who make a fad of being uninterested in passing events. They will read only one paper, they will sit only in one chair, they will eat only at one table, they will vote only for one party, the name of which is the same as that of their forefathers, no much its principles may have changed. Though posing at first, they become "set in their ways," and then they are really old even though their years scarcely number two score. If misfortune or unavoidable change in his mode of life overtakes a man he is, like a homeless cat, miserable for the rest of his day. Those who stay young mentally and spiritually keep in touch with new people and are not so easily affected by the habit of looking with clear eyes on passing events. For them in their daily lives there are no laws of the Medes and Persians. They may wear themselves out, but they do not rust away—New York Commercial. Each Man Hla Own Garicature. Nearly everybody is a caricature of his own ambitions. Indeed, he is of a poor sort who is not. So long as one's ideals are beyond him, ahead of him, he is rather than cast aside or forgotten, he is sure to be an inadequate representation of what he wants to do, and hence not to be or another, and hence a caricature. Let us go to some place where people foregather—to church of a Sunday morning, for instance. We must sit so that we may watch the people as they enter. Everybody walks down the alley as what we would like to be—what he feels that in his heart he feels that in his heart he would for instance be a bookkeeper down at the factory; but on Sundays he is free of his task and you behold him; the Reasonable Man with the open mind, prepared to give valuable deliberation to any problem that may be presented. Few problems are presented to him except in the balancing of his books; and his wife manages his family, so that he has but slight opportunity to exercise his greatest skill, his greatest gift—the faculty of sound judgment. His walk, his gestures and his attitude all show it.—Ellwood Hendrick in the Atlantic Monthly. In the Courtroom. "Mr. Garbaldi, I just want to ask you a few more questions, which I want you to answer plainly and specifically. Is there a woman living with you who is known in your neighborhood by the name of Mrs. Garbaldi?" "Hi, sir," replied the witness. "Who takes care of her?" "I do." "And you support her, too, don't you?" "Yes, sir." "Mr. Garibaldi, you have never been married to her, have you?" "No, you aren't the wife, aren't "No, no." smiled the witness, somewhat embarrassed, "she—" "That is all," concluded the old attorney. There was a young attorney opposing him and it was evident that he had been taken by surprise. Confounded and confused, he stepped forward, and in a low, reproachful tone, asked: "Garabaldi, who is that woman?" "That—oh, that is my mother, you know," answered the witness innocently. Would Keep Girls From Stage You're kept busy at Stage. An great teacher is happy! Emma Calve, one of the most talented, admired, and in every way successful artists the world has ever seen, has for a number of years made a specialty of advising girls to get married and to make happy homes instead of studying for the stage. Her latest statement of her views, which she says she has held ever since she was twenty-five, was given to a journalist in Los Angeles. "O, the girls," she exclaimed, "the hundreds, the thousands of poor girls! You will write just what I say! Then write that but one woman in a hundred thousand who tries wins. There is in a million one Geraldine Farrar, one Emma Eames, one Schumann-Hank. Do you have—these girls that come to Paris to study, to fight their way and men. When the day comes that I shall teach I shall teach no girl for the stage. I will teach only the rich girls who wish to sing for accomplishment, for home, for home—that is a woman's place."—New York Evening Post. Great Things for Morning. According to a consular report, the exports of Morocco last year were valued at $5,000,000, of which more than half was grain, principally barley. Eggs were valued at $1,800,000. Beans and cattle made up the rest. The main mention of Morocco always conveys the impression that, as a matter of fact the desert is several hundred miles from the coast, and between the two lies some of the most fertile land in the world. Great things are planned by the French and Spanish invaders, but the results of their conquests are not yet evident. Among other things, many beans have been out. If the results in any indication the wine of Morocco may not become famous. ALBA MEWS Mr. and Mrs, Carthon of Hiteman “spent Sanday in Albis, i Mra.
