A QUESTION OF PREMONITION

The Feminine Point of View Revealed to the Fullest. “The paper says,” remarked Mr. Booth, one evening,- after supper, “that the Saluria got in yesterday. The passage was calm, and eprery one on boArd Iras well.” He paused, and looked tentatively lit his wife’s direction. She kept on with her needle- “ Don't von think that the Coopers were foolish, my dear?" he inquired. "No, I can’t say that i do," she replied- ‘lf Mrs. Cooper felt that the ship was going down, what could she did except refuse to go'?" “That’s one way of putting it,” admitted Mr« Booth, “but here is the Situation: John and his wife and the two girls had all their luggage on boa/SP S -” ' - “Not ail,” -interrupted his wife. •"There was a big trunk which hadn’t cOmc. Be fair, James." “All right, then; they had got themselves on board and most of their luggage. The ship was due to start Vi half an hour. Suddenly Annie clutches John by the arm in that nervous way of hers, and says, ‘John, I’ve just had a premonition that this ship is going down before it gets to Europe. Take me home, John, take me home!'" * “You are perfectly heartless,” interposed his wife. “I don’t think An*nie was quite as foolish as that' She Isn’t well, you know, and she couldn’t help feeling as she did?” “But why didn’t she tell the rest of the passengers, men?” inquired Mr. Booth. “That would have been the humane thing to do. Suppose 1 was in a theatre, and knew that it was about to burn down. Wouldn’t it be my duty to inform the audience? I should rise, and say, ‘Ladies and— ’” “James, don’t treat such a subject in such a frivolous manner. You lack sympathy. You have no tact at all. I almost feel that you’ve said sometning like this to Annie already.” “No, not yet,” he replied, “but I may. It strikes me that she was ' a very heartless woman. Very selfish, too, not to warn the others. I wonder that her husband gave in to her.” “What else could he do?” asked Mrs. Booth. “That’s exactly the point—what? She was prepared to make a scene.” Mrs. Booth nodded. * "You think that she would have made* a scene? Then I am surprised at John—surprised and shocked. I did not realize that he, too, is so thoughtless. If he had let her make a scene, then the pasengers would have known the impending danger, and no one would have gone, and the ship—” “But the ship got in safety,” said Mrs. Booth, carried away by theimaginary narrative. j "So it did," agreed 'ner husband. "But if that had happened, it mightn’t have. You never can prediet, you know!” Mrs. Booth regarded him doubtfully, not quite knowing whether he«was in earnest or not

USE FOR LUXURIES.

Hence These Tears.

"Mamma, where do the cows get tho milk?” asked Willie, looking up from the foaming pan of milk which he had been intently regarding. "Where do you get your tears?” Was the answer. After a thoughtful silence, he broke out again: “Mamma, do the cows have to be spanked?"

The Retort Direct.

“See here,” cried the artist, Who had come to complain.about the materials he had bought, "I can't imagine anything worse than your paints.” "That’s strange," replied the dealer; “don’t you ever use your imagination on your painting?”

Still Anxious.

“So your financial apprehensions ate over?” "Not entirely,” answered the man who Is never satisfied to be happy. "I have Quit fretting about getting any money out of the bank, and am now worrying about how to get more in.”

A Doubtful Bag.

Salesman —Sorry, we’re quite out of game, but I can recommend the sausages. Mr. Von Sbarpeshooter—H’m, yes! But the wife would not believe 1 shot 'em. —Half Holiday.

FARM & GARDEN

TALK TO* FRUIT GROWERS. J. H. Hale Gives Same Sound Views on Orcharding. J. H. Hale, the veteran orchardlst in a talk to fruit growers, said: Give the orchard the best Boil you have, rolling land preferred. Prepare this land thoroughly and continue thorough tillage. Get good trees. Plan ahead and transplant trees two or three times before setting in permanent place, or pay nurserymen for doing it. .Head your trees low ; Manufacture them to suit your idea. Get them down where you can handle them easily and cheaply. Prune annually and spray often and thoroughly,., Thin apples. Good trees overbear. This is the most paying operation of all. Pick two to four times to get all of crop at proper 3tages of ripeness. We don’t pick the whole of any other fruit crop at once; why apples? , Don’t plant dwarfs, but rather dwarf your standard trees by summer and root pruning if they, are overvigorous. Throw such trees into bearing by plowing deep and subsoiling. Cultivate early and thoroughly until middle of July, then seed to cover crop and let alone.

Mr. Hale hsis used commercial fertilizers supplemented by cover crops for forty years, and thinks them equal to barnyard ifianure. He has secured results in color and quantity with potash, and he says use care in harvesting. If possible put apples in cold storage every night Communities should unite and build storage plants, ft

How to Mend Garden Hose.

As.the-garden hose gets a little old, and begins to swell, it soon gets out of commission altogether if not attended to. A simple wa*y to mend it is to wrap the hose with ordinary twine, which will make it last a few more seasons. As it ,s no easy matter j;o wind this cord by hand and get it even and under uniform tension, the writer has for many years used the simple contrivance shown in the accompanying illustration. ' ", It consists of an ordinary tin can with a lid, into which is put the ball of twine. In the center of the bottom make a small hole, through which pass the loose end of the cord. Thence let it run down the side of the can through a tension device and to the hose. To the cover of the can is soldeted>. a small piece of Un. bent to a ringle angle and forming a guide for the hose. The tension device consists of a short piece of metal, with its

Device for Wrapping Garden Hose.

upper end bent outward, forming a fulcrum for a short spring-compressed lever. The latter at its lower end has a sihall hole therein through which the cord is passed. A shprt stove bolt serves to regulate the tension on the lever, it will be observed that the cord«is pressed against the can by the lever. The whole device is now soldered to the tin can.

In use, the can is turned around the hose, and with the tension properly adjusted, the twine will wind around the hose very closely, and it will feed the can forward automatically. It will make the hose slightly smaller, and thus close all the small punctures, through which the water percoates, between the several layers of the canvas. By giving the cord a coat or two of some waterproofing, it will be found that the hose will last as long again; besides it will stand a great deal more pressure than before. —Scientific American.-

Floral Notes.

Cover the plants while sweeping to protect them from the dust. All bulbs coming in flower should have a great dtoal of water. Bring your hyacinths from the cellar when you wish them to bloom. Do not water house plants too often, once or twice a week is enough for most More plants are ruined by too much water and "too poor light than in any other way. * , Cultivate as mahy plants as you have room for and you will discover to your gratification that room Will grow with the floral habit The use of commercial plant food on plants in the house will be found much more desirable than stable, manure; it is clean to handle, is easily applied and usually more satisfactory. Sickly plants are not worth bothering with. Throw them out and start afresh.

Public Wants Action.

The public will not take kindly to quarrels between those entrusted with the business of building good roads. What the public wants is action. not gab.

STATE QUARANTINE IN FORCE IN JASPER

No New Cases of F. and M. Disease But Precaution Deemed Advisable—Public Meeting. All Jasper edunty has been placed under a quarantine" as a further precaution agaffist the spread of* the hoof and mouth plague. This step was decided upon Thursday afternoon, when Dr. F. A. Bolser, state veterinarian, came from Indianapolis arid discussed the matter with Dr. H. J. Kannal, B. H. Priest, the federal inspector, and Dr* F. H. Hemphill, the county-health officer. It is not probable, that the quarantine wililast for a great while, as the Logan cattle in GiHam township seem tobe the only ones infected, but the state authorities became alarmed when they learned that a number of hunters had tramped oyer the -John 'Brown lands where the infected cattle had been pastured. This constitutes one -or the most common' methods of carrying the infection. • "

During the continuance of the quarantine no cattle, hogs, she’ep, poultry, hides or other things from the farm can be moved. Cattle, sheep and hogs must not be driven along or across highway's and dealers in poultry are virtually put out of business, as also are dealers in cream.' Unless pesteurized, milk can not be sold for shipment. The health authorities have the power to give permits for the movement of such stock as is necessary to supply, the food demand. Both Bros, were given the v first privilege, being allowed to move cattle to their slaughter pens from pasture. A pqbMc'meeting to' be addressed by Dr. Bolster and others will be held at the court house this evening at 7:30 o’clock and stockmen especially are urged to be present. Tli# co-operation of all is essential to. the complete stamping 'out :>; the disease and the more compn .. the observation of the rules the sooner will the. quarantine be raised.

• Dr. .Kannal received word Tue^ : day that a man -named Jafne? Lome n, of Earl Park, was buying stock here to„ be taken to that place. Authorities- -there wanted to notify him that lie could not bring the tsock there. Dr. Kannal could not locate Loman until Thursday evening, when it was learned that lie had picked up mixed, car Toad of hogs and cows, which lie had loaded at Pleasant Grove and which had reached MeOoysburg, the terminal of the Gif' ford road. The owner was informed that ,the stock could not be shipped further. President Kurrie, of the Monon, ana Judge Field, of Chicago, were hunting on tiie Thompson ranch at Parr and were notified Thursday evening that hunting was forbidden in the county. He ordered that his private car he picked up there this afternoon, a day earlier than he had expected. The genera] conditions seem to be improving, although a ifumber of new eases have been reported. It sometime? attacks human 11 ! beings and a dispatch from West Virginia states that the disease lias made its appearance .there among children. Certainly the virulence of the disease is such as to demand the hearty co-operation of the people with the authorities.

The Tom Logan cattle which are in Giliam township, were shipped from .Chicago over the Gifford branch of the Monon, and were unloaded at Pleasant Grove, where there are some >ld stock pens. These pens will he condemned and burned. Mr. Logan did'not take the cattle to his home’farm bti.t to a 40-acre field in section 34* and .there is only small probability of a -.spread *of the disease irom that source.

MODERNISM AND LOVE.

Has the Young Man of To-Day No Time for Romance? Romance is dying. Chivalry is dead. Sentiment is paling, and the good bid days are no more. The fire of love has gone out Ministers blame the divorce courts. The divorce courts blame the ministers. It used to be far different and somewhat after the following fashion: “Dear, you have the kindest eyes of of any girl I ever met” “Oh, Alfred.” "Honest, you have.” (Long silence.) “Will you always be good to me?” • “Always.” “Father says he likes you real well.” “Your father and mother .are the best in the world.” ‘Tty be so happy.” “So will I.” (Long silence.) “When’ll we be married?” "This fall.” “Lucy!” But in the hurry and scurry of the present day, sans sentiment, sans romance, and sometimes Sans Souci, it is this way: x “Jane, 1 want to get married" , “So do L” "What size' is your finger,” ' “Six.” "Here, stick on this ring and tell the old fnan in the morning that we’re going to "get. spliced Thursday.” “Is that all you have for me?” “No. Here’s a kiss. Now chase yourself and see that it don’t take you more than a wetjk to get your hat on for the wedding.” f • *

Lafayette Journal. -* Congressman-elect Will R. Wood’ will be able to avoid one of the pitfalls which has spelled disaster for! many a newly elected eon-gressman in the past.

The Temperate Zone.

Prof. R. de C. Ward, a meteorologist, points out that while the term temperate zone very well describes the climate within the band of the earth’s surface which It includes in the southern hemisphere, It is often misleading when applied to the corresponding band In the northern hemisphere. The most extreme climatic conditions prevail within Its limits. In the southern hemisphere the climate is more equable because of the relatively vast extent of the ocean surfaces there. Even in the northern hemisphere fully half the area of the temperate zone Is covered by water, and it Is only over the continental portions that great extremes of heat and cold occur.
