There had been so much noise that the mistress of the house went below stairs to see what had happened. "May I ask," she said 'from the kitchen door, the meaning of this disgraceful behavior?"

The early settler of tüe colonies were commonly led, by their minister, but there were exceptional Instances in which a woman wa." leader of the enterprise. In "his recently published account of "The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence," Dr. Graham tells how tbe Scotch-Irish settlers came to North Ctri'IIna. Among them was a minister cf ,Jie name of Alexander, and the story of his coming Is as follows : Their grievances Increasing a few jean, preceding the Revolution of 16S8, their ministers Imprisoned for holding fasti?, the Alexanders resolved to seek quiet and repose In the New World. On the eve of their departure from Ireland they sent to Scotland for their old preacher to baptize their children and to administer to them the consolations of the gospel The faithful and fearless preacher arrived In time to meet the friends on the vessel on which they had embarked, and there held becoming religious services. An armed company now came on. board, broke up the meeting, and lodged the minister In Jail. Toward night an old matron addressed her kinsmen: "Men, gang ye away, tak our minister out o the Jail, and tak him, guid soul, wl' us till Ameriky." Her commands had never been dis. obeyed. Before morning the ministe? was on board, and the vessel had proceeded on its voyage. The minister, having no family, cheerfully consented, to the arrangement, and with Joy and thanksgiving they landed safely ou Manhattan FOUND OUT. A Trained Nurie Dlicorered Ita Cff eets. No one Is in better position to know the value of food and drink than a trained nurse. Speaking of coffee a nurse of Wil'ces Barre, Pa., writes: I used to drink strong coffee myself and suffered greatly from headaches and Indigestion. While on a visit to my brothers I had n good chance to try Tostum Food Coffee, for they drank it altogether In rlace of ordinary coffee. In two weeks, after using Postum, I 'found I was much benefited and finally my headaches disappeared and also the Indigestion. "Naturally I have since used Postum among my patients, and have noticed a marked benefit when coffee has been left off and Postum used. "I observed a curious fact about Tostum .used among mothers. It greatly helps the flow of milk in cases where coffee .Is inclined to dry It up, and where tea causes nervousness. "I find trouble In getting" servants tJ make Postum properly. They most always serve It before It has been boiled long enough. It should be boiled 15 or 20 minutes and served with cream, when It Is certainly a delicious beverage.' "There's a reason" for Postum,

No amount of straining can get the fertilizing element out of milk. Do not feed hay Just before milking. It raises a dust carrying millions of bacteria. A friendly call and a little feed are far better for getting the cow Into the barn than a trained dog. Pork Is what we make It. There Is as much iu the feed as in the breed, doubtless, when It comes to producing wholesome and good-flavored meat. It pleases the cow to be milked quickly, and It gets her Into the habit of giving down promptly. It Is often tbe 6low milkers that make the stripi pers. . While studying about pedigrees why not give the matter of pedigreed fields a little 4 nought? It is all right to have pure-bred fields, or at least a field with a good reputation for production Las a good pedigree. Good roads cannot be expected until we have plenty of good road makers. Any law wjll faij if not properly executed. The road supervisor should le the executive officer and should know how to do the work or he will not know how to direct it A farmer who had engaged In growing grain for a number of years giving about one-half enough work and obtaining half the yield he should, started In the cow business. He has now qilt the latter because It called, for much labor and close attention. In this case it was not the business, but the man, that was a failure. It has been demonstrated that a milch cow will eat as much as seventyfive pounds of green food In a day. This appears a large quantity, but such cows are also producers of more milk than cows that eat but little. It Is no advantage to have what Is termed a light feeder, as It is Impossible for a cow to yield .milk In large quantities unless she consumes sufficient food from which to produce the milk. It has boon shown Tiy statistics that the average egg yield of the hens of Canada Is ninety-one eggs per year. That of the United States Is only sixtynine eggs per year. This comparison should set every owner of chickens to thinking. In the first place, there Is no reason why the average egg yield in either country should not reach 130 eggs per hen. Many flocks, bred for a greater egg production, now average 200, or even 220 eggs, so 150 ought not to be an extravagant estimate of the possibilities of the American hen. Raise Carrots. The value of carrots will be made manifest to any one who has not used them In winter, if he will procure a few bushels and feed them to horses and cows. The animals will leave all other foods for the carrots. They need not be cooked, but should be sliced with a little salt sprinkled over them. From Cow to Coaaumer. An enterprising milkman In a suburban district of England has hit upon a novel way of attracting trade. He and his assistants, armed with a milking stool, make the round of a populous neighborhood driving before them a herd of five or six cows. Arriving at a convenient spot they commence milking the cows, and sell the liquid stialght to the amused and interested crowd which always gathers round them. Exchange. Maple Trees for Shade. , Among maples, the rock or sugar maple Is claimed to be the best It Is a handsome tree from the 6tart stately and well balanced In maturity. Its foliage Is deep and cooling In summer and gorgeous as sunset In autumn. It will bear more mutilation and Ill-usage and still thrive than almost any other tree. As a wayside tree in exposed situations it has no superior. As a pasture shade for . cattle it Is one of the best of trees. It will give comfort to" the cattle and please the eye. Grailng Sheep on Wheat. Pasturing grain fields with sheep at proper times, and proper seasons, causes the grain to stool well, adds to the yield, tends to prevent lodging upon over rich land, and still the practice is not common, ouly among a few who are carrying all the sheep possible upon farms devoted largely to grain raising. As sheep come back onto the farms of the Northwest, we look for more of the economical methods in handling them, among which grain pasturing, rape feeding, more fodder com and more finishing for the flock will figure largely. Trees lnCold Storajre. Cold storage has become a permanently established feature of the nursery business. From his own Investigations, and the results of experimental work by others, a recent writer concludes that the best results In such houses will be obtained If thej are maintained at a uniform temperature of 28 to 80 degrees. At this temperature very little ventilation will Ik? necessary ; the loss of vitality through drying out or shriveling Is slight; and there Is a minimum tendency to mould and mildew. Packing material around the roots and spraying with water would be unnecessary. Matsachusetts Ploughman. Food Flavors- Meat. The food that animals consume modifies the character of their flesh. Turnips yield a peculiar flavor to mutton. The flavor of mutton from sheep that have lived upon the highlands is different from that of sheep which have obtained food chiefly from the lowlands. The garlic of the meadows and some fragrant herbs modify the flavor of the meat. Oily food lends to make the fat soft Hens partly fed on scraps of decayed meat yield eggs that are at-once unpleasant to the taste and unhealthy. Feeding the animals for human food Is of great Importance and demands experience. It Is not enough that food makes fat It should also Impart an agreeable flavor. Warm and Cold Winters. According to the director of the weather bureau at the Missouri State

University, the time may not be far distant when the United States Weather Service can tell, us at least six months in advance whether the winter will' be warm or cold. It has already been determined, he says, that there are great world eddies of air sweeping around the globe, which, it is thought, cause the difference in our winters, and as soon as stations are established everywhere so that the progress of these may be watched, the bureau will likely be able to give Information by the last of September concerning the weather in January, February and March. New England Homestead.

Dairy and Stock Noten. r Every stable should have a bran pan. Look out for microbes in the calf's pail. Break the heifers by kindness, not by cudgels and kicks.

Let the horses come at the spring plowing gradually be easy the first week. The front rank of dairying has plenty of room for all of us.

Reinforced concrete, that Is concrete strengthened by Iron or steel bars, Is coming rapidly Into use for a score of purposes. The great advantage Is that there Is the strength of Iron in the material, while at the same time the Iron Is protected from contact with the air and therefore from rust. The latest application of the principle Is, in the construction of fence posts. An elaborate article In the Engineering News goes to prove that, while In most localities wood will be the cheaper material in regard to first cost in the long nyi the concrete post I the economical one, for It lasts Indefinitely, and requires no attention In the way of. repairs. The post however, may be constructed of a size exactly proportioned ' to the strain It lias to bear. Wooden posts, as a rule, at the begin nlng of their lives are many times stronger than Is necessary for the work they have to perform. In frequent cases, also, Jhe fence Is required only as a dividing line, and for such a purpose small concrete posts provide ample strength and present a very unfform and neat apiearance. The Garden's Shady ooki. What to plant in the shady part of the garden, or in the garden which is all in the shade, us is often the case in the city, is a question that perplexes many. There are few flowers which do not require sunshine during some part of the day. The most suitable material for planting In the shady places Is found In the wild flowers, many of which are extremely handsome and easily cared for. The Solomon seal, canterbury bells, may-apple, splderwort bleeding-heart violets and columbines are anv-ng the best wild flowers. Then the ferns may be relied upon as the best shnde-lov-, ing plants we have. Our native maidenhair does well in thoroughly drained situations. And there are many cultivated flowers which like best the places where they are protected from the sun's rays. Forget-me-nots, with their delightful sky-blue flowers, the little lobelias, compact bushes six Inches high, and tlie improved variety of the cardinal flower, known as the Queen Victoria, are among'them. The latter is an exceptionally fine flower for damp, shady places, and Its extraordinary coloring makes It attractive Arabia alplna Is a very pretty annual flower for early spring, of dwarf habit and white flowers. Ordinarily the fhady nooks should be well drained and have plenty of light, rich soil, of which a leaf mold and sand are generous parts. Overproduction of Dairy Prod nets. It is not Infrequent to hear" the mod erate or small dairy farmer say: "What are jou going to do when you get all of the farms making up to the full limit and capacity of their cows?" Wo have heard this remark many times In attending farmers' Institutes and dairy conventions. When some enthusiastic man had told of some cows producing 300 to 500 pounds of butter per year und some up to 1,000, he exclaimed, "What would you do with all this butter?" There Is a' simple answer to such questions. And the question practical ly 'shows the narrowness and want of knowledge of the questioner. Of food products there does not seen to le much possibility of overproduc tlon of the right kind. Ihere would be oaten n great deal more good butter were It made. We all know that when we have butter that suits us we apply it liberally to our bread and the other articles of food, but when 1 gets off, has lost its day of goodness and is an abomination, both ender the sun and on the earth, we use Jt very sparingly. So we need not fear overproduction in dairy products. If we inike the best. An old saying, Thers is alwaj-s room at the top" applys witfc particular force to the products and quality of the dairy. . The great complaint of the consumers today is that they are not able tc buy good butter or what they call gooJ butter. Receivers are complaining the same way. They cannot get enough good butter for their trade. It would seem that, with all the expert scion tific and practical knowledge that has been promulgated through the agricultural newspapers, the experiment sta tlons, dairy schools and dairy associations, that the general average of oui dairy products should be better. Bui such does not seem to be the actuil facts. So, dairymen and farmers, y u need not fear an overproduction, If you make goods that are Just right always. Home Monthly.

THE BRAYTON HOSPITALITY.

It Did Not Ceaae When Their Wealth Wa Taken from Them. "That must be Emmeline Brayton's funeral," said the elder sister, peering through the misty window and glasses that grew suddenly mistier. "My, but it's a long one! Adelaide, you must remember Emmy Bray ton? She was In the class above us, but " Adelaide, who had Just returned to her native place after an absence of many years, nodded and Joined her sister at the window. "Of course I remember Emmy. She was alwaj-s treating us younger ones. Once she got us all on the kitchen porch and brought out two great pans of sugar gingerbread, hot from the oven, and we ate every mite of it The cook scolded, but her mother Just laughed, and when I came home and told about It, grandmother said that was the Braytcns all over, and that there never was a limit to tile Brayton hospitality. Seems to me, . Anna, I heard they had lost their property. It must have been hard for people of that kind, used to doing so much for everybody, to have nothing left to do with." "The question is where something ends and nothing begins," answered Miss Adams, blowing on her glasses and scrubbing them. "They did lose their property, but they never stopped being hospitable. - They were only more and more simple In their ways of showing it Their house was the center of things long after everybody they knew was better off than they. "But at last when marriages and deaths had broken up the family till only Emmy was left, and she had to move way out where you had a ride a half-hour by trolley and walk down a long lane all full of tin cans and sooty snow-drifts, It did make a difference. She was an Invalid then, too, pretty nearly, and couldn't get about herself; and although her friends didn't forget her, they couldn't get to her often, and if Emmy had been anybody but Emmy, she might have been miserably lonely and forlorn. "But she was Emmy, and the Brayton characteristics were as strong as ever. Her shabby, little cheap cottage was on ' the edge of a marshy pond, and the Polish boys and girls, big and little, from the new factors' settlement on the farther side used to come there to skate. "One day she beckoned In a boy who was struggling with a broken strap and told him she would be glad If he and his friends or any of the skaters would come in and get warm whenever they liked. They were too shy to respond, till one day a crowd of them hurried In with a scared little fellow who had I broken through the Ice, and after that , they fell Into the way of coming "and there was Emmellne, provided with a new social "circle, and headquarters In her own kitchen. , "Those warm-hearted boys and girls grew fairly to worship her, and would talk to her as eagerly of Stinlslava and Casmlr, Ladislas and Falka as if they belonged to families she had been friends with all her life. "You see. It was the Brayton hospitality; nothing left to offer but goodwill and a kitchen fire, but she had offered those." "Poor Emmy!" sighed Adelaide. "No, not poor Emmy!" responded Anna, setting back her glasses firmly and blinking fiercely behind them. "'Dear Emmy, If jou will, but not 'poor. Emmellne Brayton was a hap py woman happy to the very last"Youths' Companion. It appears in various quarters that the Puritan fathers had troubles of their own. In the book entitled "Heredity and Early Environment of John Williams," the author says that in Roxbury, Massachusetts, In its early set tlement as everywhere, boys were prone to mischief, and special rules were made for their benefit In 1GÖ8, when the meeting-house was repaired, the new galleries were set aside as seats for the boys of the congregation. Here tüls element could be herded under the eye and rod of the tlthlng-man and within eyeshot of the preacher. With all this, however, trouble was brewing. Before long several people complain ed that they could not "sit In the meet lng-bouse to their edification by rea son of the disturbance the boys made In the galleries." This complaint reach ed the town meeting; and the selectmen were directed to consult with the elders about removing the boys, and cooping them up in some place to be built expressly for this purpose, or do ing "anything to remedy this evil." Exactly what steps were taken to re move the boys and the evil so gravely confronting the town Is not known, but when John Williams was eight years old a new meeting-house was built In this structure provision was made for the boys on some part of the main floor. Some years later a vote was passed for "puelng the meeting-house, and the people were given "liberty to build pues round the meeting-bouse ex cept where the boys do sit" By this action It appears that the boy question had been satisfactorily solved by corralling that element In some nook or angle which was now en trenched against the invasion of pews. Not Illmaelf. Mr. Jefferson looked at his neighbor, Mr. Thompson, with dignity and reproof mingled In his gaze. "You've got to do somet'lng "bout dat trifling boy o' yours," he said, slowly. "He Jcs nachelly don't tell de trufe, Mr. Thompson lie Is a deceiving boy, dat's what he is.' "I'd like to hab de proof," said the father of the accused, as he summoued his courage to meet the charge. "He took my 'Poleon to de banjo concert night befo' last said Mr. Jefferson. "I told 'Poleon to be home at half-past 9 prompt, and 'twas after 10 when I heard footsteps stealing up near t!fy window, and I reached out my hand and grabbed his collar, and I ask him, Is dis you?' and he say, 'Yls, sih under his breaf.

'WS ff! A Powerful Ally. Rural mall delivery will probably accomplish more toward bringing about n realization of the dreams and efforts' ol good roads advocates than anything that has yet appeared as a factor in their argument The conditions , thai have been caused throughout the country by the past open winter have placed behind the good roads movement the Iowerful postoflice department as an In terested party. Not since rural delivery was established has there been such a winter as the one recently closed. Reports poured Into the rural divis Ion of the postoflice department in Washington from postmasters about Impassable country roads. They came from practically all states, but espe cially from central western states, in eluding Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missou ri, Kansas and Iowa, which have pral rie lands and black loam. The government requirement In es tabllshing rural delivery routes is that all roads traversed by the carriers 6hall be kept In condition to be tuaveled with facility and safety at all seasons of the year. Where it is discovered that the bad condition of a road Is due to neglect on te part of the community, a transfer is made so that persons residing on that route are cut off from the service. The department can soon take away a route entirely, but no such extreme measure has yet been taken. It Is recognized that natural conditions have been the chief cause of the terrible condition of the roads during the past winter, but In cases where the local authorities are to blame, a. warning Is given that temporary withdrawals of the service may be made unless the highways are improved. SMYRNA FIG INDUSTRY. Dried In Open Air and Shipped ' to Rail-ray on Camels. In Smyrna the fig district is largely along the line of the Smyrna-Aldln Railroad. The best grades of fruit (termed erbellll) comes from Inovassl. Figs from Naall and from Sultan Hlssar are also highly valued, although the skins are somewhat thicker, says the New York Herald. ' Trees begin to bear in their sixth year and are In full vigor in the fifteenth year. Fig trees on the low plains yield fruit which Is both larger and richer In saccharine matter. They often suffer, however, from an excess of moisture in unusually wet seasons, when groves on higher ground are less harmed, owing to the facilities for drainage. The fruit ripens about the middle of August when it is picked and dried in the open air for from three to six days. It is then packed in sacks of about 250 pounds each, two of which constitute a load for a camel, and transported to tbe nearest railroad station. After arrival at Smyrna camels likewise transport the saci-s to the warehouses of the dealers. Carts are not employed In this connection, as "the fruit is liable to be damaged when the sacks are piled one on the other. The arrivals from the country are promptly bought up by the lous packing houses, who have each a large corps of employes, chiefly women and girls, for the operations of sorting, washing, drying and packing the fruit This means work for many thousands in Smyrna during the months of September and October and the average degree of prosperity among-the lower classes during the entire year is largely dependent upon the amount of money set in motion during this short period. . The sorting of the figs Is carried out with great care. Color, but more especially size and thickness, or rather thinness of skin, guide the classification. The inferior grades, the so-called "hordas," culls or refuse, are eliminated and sold for purposes of distillation. A certain quantity of this grade is exported to Austria and Hungary and used as a substitute for chicory. The delicate flavor of Vienna coffee Is due to the presence of dried fig powder. The better grades are prepared for export In various ways. Tbe least expensive is packing In linen or other bags and is used usually for the less valuable qualities. The finer grades are subjected to" a' certain manipulation before being lightly packed In boxes containing from one to eleven pounds. During the manipü-' lation the workmen continually dip their fingers In sea water, As a result the fruit Is better preserved, and the sweetness Is not diminished by long keeping. . Among the charities of the late Marshall Field was a pension list of persons to whom a stated sum was sent regularly each month. With these he was generous, but he disliked being Imposed upon. One man, who liad in some way impressed Mr. Field with his deserts, hada check each thirty days for twenty-five dollars. He had gone far from Mr. Field's memory, but remained on the list Ills pension made him quite "an eligible party" In thetcircle in which he lived, and at last he yielded to the blandishments of his landlady, an elderly, prosperous widow, and married her. "Now, 'Henry' she said to him next day, "we'll Jnst be having your pay raised. You can't keep two as easily as you can one. Mr. Field is a rich man and he will understand that. You go down and tell him you need fifty dollars a month now." Away went Henry, and after much argument and persuasion obtained access to the inner office of the great merchant, where he stated his case. Mr. Field became interested at once. "A widow, eh?"' he inquired, smiling. "Did she ask you or you her?" "Wrell, sir," stammered ' Henry, "I guess she-did lead up to it" "How old Is she?" "About forty, sir." "Did she support herself?" "Yes, sir. She has a big boardinghouse. I boarded with her. I do yet, In fact" "Ah, yes," said Mr. Field. "So you want a raise, do you? Let me see how much was your pension? Twenty-five dollars?

AWFUL SUFFERING.

From Dreadful Pains from Wound on Foot System All Bun Down Miraculous Cure by Cuticura. "Words cannot speak highly enough for the Cuticura Remedies.' I am now seventy-two years of age. My system had been all run down. My blood was so bad that blood poisoning had set In. I had several doctors attending me, so finally I went to the hospital, where I was laid up for two months. My foot and ankle were almost beyond recognition. Dark blood flowed out of wounds In many places, and I was so disheartened that I thought surely my last chance was slowly leaving me. As the foot did not Improve, you can readily imagine how I felt I was simply disgusted and tired of life. I stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time I was not able to wear a shoe t'.nd not able to work. Some one spoke to. me about Cuticura. The consequences were I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies of one of my friends who was a druggist, and the praise that I gave after the second application Is beyond description; it seemed a miracle, .for the Cuticura Remedies took effect Immediately. I washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before applying the Ointment and I took the Resolvent at the same time. After two weeks treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness and who have seen it since the cure, can hardly believe their own eyes. Robert Schoenhauer, Newbnrgb, K. Y. Aug. 21, 3005." Durlna; the Record Race.

Williams' Pink Pills Restored the Patient to Perfect Health And Strength. . Mrs. Mary Gagner, of No. 578 South Summer street, Holy ok e, Mass., has passed through au experience which proves that some of the greatest blessings of life may lie within easy reach and yet be found only by mere chance. A few years ago while she was employed in the mills she was suddenly seized with dizziness and great weakness. 44 1 ras so weak at times," she says, "that could hardly stand, and my head became so dizzy that it seemed as if the floor was moving around. 44 My condition at last became so bad that I was obliged to give up work in the mill, and later still I became so feebly that I could not even attend to me household duties. After 'the slightest exertion I had to lie down and rest until I regained strength. 44A friend who had used Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People urged me to try them. I bought a box and began to tako them. The benefit was so positive and 60 quickly evident that I continued to use the pills until I had taken altogether six boxes. By that time I was entirely cured, and for two years I have had no return of my trouble. I am now in the best of health and ablo to attend to all my duties. I am glad to acknowledge the benefit I received and I hope that my statement may be the means of inducing others who may suffer in this way to try this wonderful medicine." The secret of the power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of debility, such as Mrs. Gagner's lies in the fact that they make new blood, and every organ and even every tiny nerve in the body feels the stir of a new tide of strength.
