The fibre is enveloped fu a hard bark, with a great deal of gummy juice in and un- der it, and. till that is thoroughly re. moved cannot be utilized for textile purposes. In India and China, where the nettle orop has long been known, labor is oheap, and consequently the bark is stripped off by hand, and the fibres cleansed, spun, and woven in primitive fashion, form the basis of many of those native stuffs that are in- valuable to the “‘heathen Chinee,” but never get inte the market. John Bull, however, hates to be beaten, and has thoroughly investigated the nettle question. The fact that the stalks must be stripped while green hai hith- erto presented the greatest difficulty, where cheap band labor is not to be had on the spot. Something like six- ty machines had to be made before the exact thing could be hit upon which would break up and remove the bark, and press out a goodly proportion of the resinous gum that sticks the fibres together. But it was found at last, and now a fine and remarkably strong silk is spun from the commonest weed that dots the roadside. IIA Pleasant Sinning. It is not the plessantest persons who are perfectly accurate. One of the loveliest women I know, writes Jean Potage in the Home Journal, re- members any number of occurrences that could never have happened, and by so daing adda largely to her friends. She always ‘remembers’ you as doing some one of the things you would like to do, but which circnmstances would prevent. If your penchant is for telling stories, she ‘remembers’ that tale of yours which convulsed the Harmony Club on its first ‘‘ladies’ night.” Yon know very well you were never even invited to that fanction, but no one else is sure of that at this late date, and your self-esteem cannot but rise way in which you told your story to enthusiastic reception. If you want to be athletic, she recalls a mythical race which you won against fearful odds. If you are a lady killer, she lets fall many hints of the interest you excited in female breasts at some summer resort which in reality you never visited. This woman is n benefactor to society. She is worthy of being loved far more than she who is forever ‘‘telling un- pleasant truths for your gool.” His Final statement, to an old Yorkshire yoeman of the old type, who was lying on his deathbed, and after a few preliminary words the worthy minister said that, if the veteran had anything on his mind, he hoped be would ease his conscience that he might die in peace. sir,” answered the old sportsman, ‘‘if I'd fish more with bait and less with flies.” mnt III IIE No.To«Une far Fifty Cents, Over 40,000 cared.

Pa A San Francisco capitalist was fined $2.50 for apitting In a street car, Iron Hunger. Prof. Schmiedeberg lately made a very interesting experiment, which demonstrates the existence of an iron- hunger in animals, and also indicates disastrous results in the event of the craving remaining unsatisfied. A strong, frolicsome dog, that had suffered the loss of a small quantity of blood only, was fed for a period on pure milk, and little by little became so weak that all evidence of spirit van: ished, and, refusing further nourish- ment, became 80 thin and weak that his limbs refused to support his body. Just as he seemed on the point of to his daily allowance of milk; when, instead of refusing as heretofore he { devoured it ravenously, and in the . space of two weeks, recovered his nor- mal health and strength. Doctors Diagnosed the Case us Heard Disease and Consumptidn But the Symptoms Were Due to Watery Blood Alone, and Disappeared When Blood Was Enriched. From Presbyterian Journal, Philad'a Pa, After years of patient and intense suffor- ing, Miss Gertrude Gilbert has recovered her lost health, and Is to-day a rosy and blooming specimen of young womanhood, Miss Gilbert's illness, which was of several years duration, was due mainly to a lack of blood. To-day her rosy cheeks and healthy appearance denote the grateful change from a life of ill-health to one of freedom from all {llness. Whon a reporter called on her at her home, No. 1919 Glenwood Avenue, Philadelphia, the young lady ran lightly down the steps with all the elastic. ity of youth, “I could not have dons that olght months ago,” she sald as she seated herself in a big armohalr, “At that time,” she continued, “had I ran down the stops as I did a few moments 0go, I would have fainted.” With her eyes sparkling, and a vivacious flurry in er manner, Miss Gilbert wsked the cause of the reporter's visit. Upon being told that he came to sak about her lliness she sald that she would cheerfully relate her experience, “I have been so wonderfully banchtad that within the past sight months I have grown from a mere skeleton to what you now see, I had been sick for a long time, when a friend urged me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pilis for Pale People. Previous to this three doctors had treated me They diag nosed my trouble as heart disease, together with consumption, and prescribed sceord. ingly. All this medical treatment did not benefit me in the least. I was in a terrible condition There was scarcely any blood left in my composition, and my friends often told me that they thought I was a victim of blood disease.

A cycling genius has evolved a game which can be played on wheels. It is called the royal game and requires a court or fleld, divided into alleys Two teams of nine riders each take into =» the courses alleyway, fleld, with chalked ont plainly. An constructed of ropes or cables, ex- tends from the upper to the lower field on the division line between the right and left field. Cables also form two upright sides between which the | play wheel rolls and is driven back- ward or forward by the riders in pass- | ing at any point between the lower and upper fleld. The play wheel isa single bicycle rim, having a four-and- one-half-ineh pneumatic tire. The object of the game is to drive this’ play wheel from the centre field, | through attack of opponents, to a goal ahead, the riders using sticks especi- | ally made for the game. The ends of the alleyways are the goals for the re- spective teams. Players ride in sin- | gle file and always circle to the left. | Thus the two trains sre constantly | meeting and passing each other in op- | posite directions on the upper sides of | the alleyway. Royal is a game re- | quiring swift riding and much skill, | and a novice would scarcely venture | to form one of a team. i rs — IO One or Two-Eye Shooting. Some hunters who use shotguns ! shoot with both eyes open, but most of | them shut the lefteye. Itiscontended by the one-eye class that one-eye | shooting is more accurate than two-eye | shooting, but the two-eye shooters say | that there is only a little difference, ana that is in favor of the two-eyed method. A man who has Loth eyes open, the two-eye men say, has a greater range of vision, and in the woods can keep the game in sight far better than the one-eyed marksman. Besides, he can keep several birds in sight at once, without hiding them behind the barrel of his gunn. A bird rising after a man has aimed, or while he is aiming at a raised bird, is out of sight when only one eye is open, since the gun is be- tween the eye snd the second bird. When both eyes are open the left eye sees clear of the gun, and, therefore, a bird rising after the one aimed at may be seen vaguely and kept in sight until after the first shot. Most rifle men who shoot at target aim with one eye closed, but in the woods, where brash may hide the game and often quick shots must be made, the hunters more frequently shoot with both eyes open. At small game at rest, stich as squirrels snd birds, one-eye shooting is believed to be the better, but with game like a deer running or walking a two-eye shot hss better chance, because the ghiovtus {a see brash, trees, or anything y tc pede or turn the bullet's flight. i ———————— FARM AND GARDEN NOTES, | Notes of Interest on Agricultural | Topics. | Minera!

BREEDING SBO0WS TO It is very rare that a good breeding sow of fit age and with plenty of teats will not bring much more than her pork value if sold as a breeder. If she has proved her capacity for breed- ing, and especially if she have a thrif- | ty litter of pigs by her side, the sow and pigs are sure to bring many times what they are worth to fatten and kill. Everybody recognizes that this is good kind of stock to hold, Now while grain and feed of all kinds is very cheap, the business of growing hogs for breeders cannot help being a profitable one, Part of the stock should be pure bred, of some one of breeds characteristics are established.

The Fruit Growers’ Association have time and again distributed copie: of the rules by which all shippers should be guided. There is nothing of greater value to a shipper than the repuiation for good and carefully selected fruit It is worth while to make at least three grades, and thore should be no variation in the quality of these grades. It is poor policy to put up a barrel of fine fruit, and, just for the sake of filling in, throw in, somewhere fae PHO for de. to very inferior specimens. chaser immediately discovers this poor fruit, and the reputation of the grow- er suffers.
