"PETER PIPER" IN PfcrtlNG.

A Voonc American Womai Among the I.atllen of the Chlneae Court Miss Katharine Carl, an American artist, recently enjoyed the unique privilege of living in the imperial palace of Teking, in the daily company of the wonderful dowager empress. She was there to paint tiie portrait of the dowager empress, as well as that of the charming young Empress Ye-ho-na-lah, wife of the emperor, and of n delightful bevy of princess 's and noble ladies of the court. Miss Carl in a recent narrative of her experiences hears testimony to the exquisite good breeding and unfailing consideration for their foreign puest on the part of the' ladies of the court. Careful as they were of her susceptibilities, however, they often, after they knew her well and were assured she would not take offense, found much ninusement in puzzling her with difficult bits of Chinese words too nearly .-.like to be differentiated by an Occidental tongue, test sentences purposely concocted, and even puns. Often the mirth created by her blunders would attract the attention of the dowager empress herself, who would ask. fcmiling, ppeaking of Miss Carl by her Chinese name: "What has Kergunia been savin??" If Kergrunia was too hard pressed, however, she could assume the offensive In turn against her merry instructors. "When I would finally get quite tangled up," she declares. "I would retaliate with Teter riper picked a peck of pickled peppers.' This would end the lesson for that day. for they would all try to say it. and get so hilarious that there was no further effort at study, and dinner would be announced in tho midst of the fun." If Kergunia's qutck tongue could master the Intricacies of rapid pepperpicking, her quick wit once enabled her to pick the proper name for a new posy just gathered by the empress dowager In the gardens of tiie Summer Palace. It was a chrysanthemum, a curious new variety, and when the empress handed It to her she said, playfully: "I will give you something nice If you will guess bat I have nairod this flower." Kergunia modestly doubted if she could guess; but she added, regarding the fringe of hair-like petals andfround. bare center, that it looked like an old man's bead. "You have guessed!" cried the empress, delighted. "I have just given It the name of Old Man of the Mountain." Tenderfoot' Die Silver Strike. William Step, a tenderftvn of Leavenworth, Kan., has just made a big silver strike near Florence, Col. At a depth of feet he opened an lS-ineh vein, carryiftg fabulous values In silver. The 6ilver is found In big lumps in the rock. Step made the discovery through a prairie dog hole. He was looking over the district and found a piece of silver ore near the mouth ojf the hole. lie sunk three feet and disclosed a vein. An offer of $20.000 for the discovery was refused by Step, even if he was a tenderfoot from Kansas. In Southwark, the prnaürst Londor borough, there were more lunatics la si yenr than in any other metropolitan bor ough. HEALTH AND SPIRITS Are Restored by Dr. Williams Pink Pills in Cases of Debility and Despondency. General debility Is caused by mental cr physical overwork with imperfect assimilation of nourishment, or by some acute disease from whicj the vital forces have been prostrated and the entire organism weakened so as not to easily rally. To restore health it Is necessary that the blood should be purified and made new. The case of Mrs. E. M. 'Spears, of 92 Mt. Pleasant street, Athol, Mass.. is a common one and is given here in order that others may be benefited by her experience. She says: "I had been sick for a year from indigestion and general debility brought cn by overwork and worry. I had tried many remedies, but found no relief. I suffered from swelling of t'ae limbs, loss of appetite and dizzy spells, which became so severe towards night, that I sometimes fainted away. I was bilious and my hands and arms would go to sleep for an hour or two at a time. I wai so sleepy all tho time that I could hardly keep awake. I had frequent cramps la ray limbs and 3evtro pains at the base of my head and in my back. My blood was impoverished. I was afraid to give up and go to bed fearing that I would never get well. "About this time Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were recommended to me by a friend in South Vernon, Vt. I felt better seen after beginning the. treatment and continued until I was entirely cured. I consIJer Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a grand medicino for weak women." .Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price 50 cents per box. six boxes 52.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.

As a rule ewes do not return maximum profit., after they are 0 j-ears old, but of course there are exceptions to all rules. The proper time to begin to handle a colt is the first time you see it. Tiie sooner you begin to tench it submission and gain its confidence the better. It is estimated that 45.iXHi.000 eggs nre consumed every day in the United States and yet there are people who fear the poultry business will be overdoro. Why are there so many "common cattley Just because it requires less effort to produce the common kind. The scrub bull and the grade bull are responsible for the common kind. The Kansas Experiment Station has beea studying the practical value of a milking machine. It is to be hoped that an honest verdict will be rendefwl In the report of the experiment. The duck with good treatment will overrge ubout four eggs a week from Feb. 1 to about the last of June, when there will be a gradual decline until the last of July, when the season end?. The following figures show how Important It is to exercise care in washing milk pails, for in an actual experiment there Mere found: In the first washing 7,580,000 bacteria, in the second washing 157,000, and in the third washing 58,000. One cannot always tell a good com huskrr by tho height of the "bat boards" on the off side of bis wagon, but as n rule plenty of bat boards is an indication of a good busker. A wagon box should hold all the corn one can husk in a half-day. There is at this time such a demand for hornless cattle la both dairy and beef herds that muleys are at a premium. So, many are engaged in producing a hornless strain. There are some polled cattle in all breeds and thes are employed as starten. The real Importance of clover Is not as well known by farmers as it should be. The class of farmers who understand It form a small percentage of the whole in central states. Just note how few clover fie'ds you will pars In going about over the country. This tells the story. The greatest milking record known Is that of a New Zealand farmer and nis wife, who milked seventy-two cows every night and morning, without ,any help. Roth the man and his wife were stout and robust. They must have been Inferior cows, or they could not have ge,tten through with them all twice In a day. Tbe number of farms in the United States in 1S50 was 1,500,000, with 200,000,000 acres under cultivation, a yearly product of $2.5(tO,0O0,000, a ad a total farm property value of $4,XX),000,000. Now the farms number 5.000,000, with 841,000,000 acres cultivated, a yearly product of $r,400,000,00i a total farm property value of $23,000,000.000. The several systems of curing and baling hay are worthy of our closest attention and study. IJrlght hay properly baled brings $2 to $4 per ton more money than the average of the stuff told on the markets of the Southwest. We must get away from average hay In this case avoid average quality Just as we do average yields. As a top dressing for clover, lime produces the best results, especially where, the clover has had a heavy stand for two or more seasons. Land that Is fed heavily every year with barnyard or green manure will be helped by a dressing of lime. Sometimes the soil is so rich but congested with unaffiliated food that a dressing of lime for one season without any fertilizer Is the best thing for it. A writer in a magazine attributes the scarcltj' of hired help on farms to th? fact that competition Is confined alone to single men. If there were more accommodations for men with families there would be many men who do not have means enough to rent who would make the In'st of hired help on farms. Some of the best help I ever had on my farm have been men with families and for whom I furnished a house to live In. I. o. Man.- Fault, 'ot J I off". ppcauiT people fall in the swine business is nothing against the business. People fall In other lines of curt avor and we think nothing of it; we t:-.!:o it as a matter of course. Failures should only make us more careful and F'.iauld be a warning to those who would enter the field heedlessly, without due consideration, simply because of the fact that they are dissatisfied with their present position or station in life and have read where some one hns made good money at it. The swim; business is no place for "get-rich-qulek" people. It takes earnest, intelligent r.:l persistent endeavor to make swine p:iy, the same as it does anything else. A Dojr and the Cow. A Nebraska dairyman once tested the milk of a cow after she had be?n chased into her stall by a large twolegged fool and a small four-legged dog. The Babcock test showed a percentage of butter-fat of 2.3. The next morning the same ciw tested 4.1, and a week later, when the cow was calm and the do;; chained up, the test rai up to 0.2 per cent of butterfat. Is any moral necessary? ou don't have to eat all of an egg to know if it Is bad. Doch not this dog-and-eow incident fhow that, laying aside all humane motives, tb "gentling" of cows, to borrow an expression from the range cowboy, pays the biggest kind of divi

dends? Treat the cow as though sha were a lady. You don't need to beat her to azitate her.

Bone Black. Bone black, sometimes called "bone charcoal," is produced when lones are snbjoetpd to dry distillation out of contact with the air. ity this process practically all the water, fat and nitrogen are removed, leaving a material which consists chiefly of insoluble phosphate of lime and charcoal. This product is extensively used at sugar refineries for removing the coloring matter from raw sugars. After being used several times it becomes useless for refining purposes and is then sold as fertilizer, says Virginia report. It contains about 30 per cent of phosphoric acid. As this consists chiefly of insoluble phosphate of lime mixed with carbon. It does not decompose rendily in the soil, and is, therefore, of little value when used directly as a fertilizing material. It Is chiefly used for making dissolved bone Mack. Corn or Maize nations. Indian corn or maize is the basis of more than any other one crop grown in the United States. The grain is rich In digestible carbohydrates and fats and for that reason Is used quite extensively in fattening rations. It is the easiest crop to grow and the heaviest yielder among our grains. There is practically no difference in digestibility and nutritive value between flint and dent corn. Sweet corn is considered to be somewhat richer in protein and to contain a larger percentage of digestible matter than ilint or dent, but is not so heavy a yielder, says a Pennsylvania bulletin. Dent corn being softer is more easily masticated by farm animals than flint. No difference has been discovered between varieties of different colors. Corn Is rather deficient In protein and for that reason should always be fed In connection with some nitrogenous food, especially when fed to growing animals or milch cows. Cnrcfnl Tackln of Frnlt. Packing in boxes requires more care than packing in barrels. For extra fancy fruit it Is well to line the inside of the box with fancy paier in order to present a better appearance when opened. P'.xcelslor Is often used in the top of the box, but It should be covered with paper to prevent the dust from settling among the apples. Place the first course by hand with stem end down. The remainder may be carefully poured In ; but for the best results It Is letter to place all the fruit In layer, making sure that it is packed solidly. Place a piece of heavy paper on top of the fruit, press carefully, and nail ihe head on. If tbe fruit is properly packed it should require but little pressing to prevent the fruit from moving. The harder the fruit Is pressed the greater the danger of bruising. Erand the box In accordance with the fruits-mark act. Always use stencils for branding. Pencil writing on a box Is unsightly, and does not give the purchaser as good an Impression as neat stenciling. Some varieties, especially the softer cnes, will bring better prices If each apple Is wrapped in paper. The paper prevents the fruit from moving and becoming bruised and gives a finished appearance to the case. Only extra fancy fruit will pay for the additional cost of wrapping. Dry Feeding. At a poultry institute held In Ontario, Canada, a number of prominent poultryrcen advocated this system. Dr. Nottage of Goshen, Mass., said: "I feed all the grain and beef scraps from feed hoppers, which I fill twice a week. Get your miller to mix together one part of good sound wheat to two parts of corn and crack them a little finer than common cracked corn. "Put a small heap of this In front of the brooder and beside It a small heap of fine beef scraps. If you have skimmed milk, keep the youngsters on that for a drink until they become a little tired of it, which may be In two or three weeks; you can let them have their choice between milk and water. Get them on the ground as soon as tierc Is a blade of grass to be seen pushing up through the sou." Mr. Tlllinghast Ted entirely by the Popper method. Tils ration was almost entirely wheat screenings and beef scraps fed In hoppers nade out of shoe boxes, holding about one peck each. As an experiment Trof. Graham of the fxperlment station pnt forty-four Hbofie Island red chickens In a colony house and kept them there from the time they were hatched. April 24. to the date of selling the cockerels, July 20. AI! were hopper-fed. At this time the cockerels weighed 3VS pounds each, undrawn. a:;d void for 82 cents each. The Fxperlment Fnrni. While much of the outcry against the free distribution of garden seeds among the farmers of the country by the Department of Agriculture has been Intemperate and undeserved, the purpose for which this distribution was instituted would Ik better accomplished by the :rodel farm which the department proposes to establish In the several congressional districts. Of course, the fn!y rational object of the seed distribution is the propagation of new and valuable plants in soils and climates suited to them. In a happy-go-lucky way this Is done to a certain extent by the present distribution. It would be much better and more certainly done by the proposed model farms, on which agricultural experts could, by systematlc experiment, develop the plants and varieties of plants that will flourish best ki each locality. The Introduction by the department of durum or macaroni wheat, of which many bushels are now grown in the arid regions of the West, is a sample of what may be accomplished In this way. The development of a most valuable long-staple cotton by several years of erperknent on a Mississippi plantatkn is another example. With similar experiments going forward in cverjoongresslonal district, and ultimately in smaller geographical divisions, there is no telling what possibilities may yet be discovered In the crop-producing soil of the United States. Especially in the southwest this sort of investigation is almost an unexplored field. This magnificent domain is richly productive now. When all Its resources of soil and climate nre fully known It will lw? the garden spot of the world. St Louis Republic

Tramp In Man j- Nation. There arrived In London last evening an aged man named Mark All who has been wandering for tbe last six years. Mark All is an engineer by trade and he set out from Fleet street on Aug. 6. IIKX). with the object of walking G0.000 miles In seven years. Tbe idea of the enterprise was to disprove a theory, which All attributes to engineering employers, that after a man has reacl.vd 4. years of age be is useless for manual labor. Some gentlemen who were desiroua of disproving this theory agreed to pay All 500 If he could walk 00,000 miles in r-even years, earning his living at his trade, and that be shall not beg. sell photographs cf himself or pictures past cards, make speeches or exhibit himself at music halls. All these conditions, he says, he has faithfully observed. He has been all over the three kingdoms and has visited France. Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland. Italy and Germany, but failed to get into Russia. His record now is 58.C00 miles. He proposes to take a week's rest in London, then walk to New Haven and cross to Dieppe, where he will resume his pedestrian exercises through France. Throughout his travels Mark All wears tbe union Jack on his right tfrni. London Chronicle.
