Sixteen Years of Skin Disease. “For sixteen long years I have been suffering with a bad case of skin dis- ease. While a child there broke out a red sore on the legs just in back of my knees. It waxed from bad to worse, and ot last I saw I had a bad skin disease. known doctors in different cities, but to no satisfactory result. The plague bothered me more in warm weather than in winter, and being on my leg joints it made it impossible for me to walk, and I was forced to stay indoors in the warmest weather, My hopes of recovery were by this time spent. Sleepless nights and restless days made life an unbearable burden. At last 1 was advised to try the Cuticura Remedies [Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills], and I did not need more than a trial to convince me that 1 was on the road of success this time. I bought two sets of the Cuticura. Rem- edies and after these were gone 1 was a different man entirely. I am now the happiest man that there is at least one true cure for skin diseases. Leonard A.

The most popular joke which has been published in any language in the history of the world is stated to be that which appeared in the obscure corner of the “Punch Almanac” for 1845. It read: “Advice to persons about to marry—Don’t!” It would be interesting to know who was its au- thor. Another, founded on a similar subject, was the “Advice to persons who have ‘fallen in love’—Fall out!” One of the most brilliant things that ever appeared in our contemporary was the brief dialogue between an in- quiring child and his impatient par- ent: “What is mind?” “No mat- ter.” “What is matter?’ “Never mind.”’—Westminster Gazette.

On no account should it be concave. The in- evitable result of this would be to crush the seed into the centre of the shallow drill and to cause overcrowd- ing. Thin sowing, however, can be carried out with perfect ease if the drill is fit. If clumps are to be grown the same rule should be observed— the bottom of the circular trench should be perfectly flat. “How far apart should each seed be sown?” is the next question that arises. If the seed is sound, and if there is, therefore, a reasonable certainty of germination, each seed should be set at least nine inches from its neigh- bor. One famous grower invariably sows one foot apart, and he declares that he has rarely had a failure. If the average amateur gardener strikes this happy medium, however, and does not allow his seeds to be less than six inches apart, he will prob- ably have no cause to complain of the result.—Pittsburg Dispatch. 3 § Gaon 3 Staking Tomatoes. The nicest way I ‘have found to raise tomatoes is to tie them up to gtrong ‘stakes. Drive in the stakes solidly and set the plants beside them. Keep them tied up as they grow, and keep a good part of the side shoots trimmed off. I leave four or five of the lower branches and al- low them to lie on the ground. This is some work, but it pays; it gives a chance to go among the vines to hoe and water, and you can have your garden as neat in the time of ripe tomatoes as any other time in the summer. - And when you want the ripe tomatoes you can see at a glance where they are, and every tired wo- man knows what a convenience that is. I seldom see a rotten tomato on the vines that are tied up. The stakes, however, must be strong and firmly set, for you will often see a peck of tomatoes on the vines. One day a lady friend said: “I'll never tie up tomatoes again; it don’t pay, for whenever the tops get heavy over they go.” When I walked into her garden, behold, she had procured a lot of elder branches to tie her car- nations up to, and the largest of these she used for her tomatoes. Another friend decided to use the banana crates which were discarded, at the nearest grocery. The result was very unsatisfactory, as the tomatoes were enclosed and the pieces were so close- : ly fitted that you could hardly get the hand between the latter to pick the tomatoes. A good kind of early tomato is the “Matchless.” Early plants are best raised in tin cans that have been melted apart; bend them in shape, set them closely together in the hot bed, fill with good soil and plant three or four seeds in each one. Thin the plants out as they grow until you have only one plant in each can. When you want to transplant to the garden lift can and all; set in the hill prepared for the plant and care- fully take off the can, fill in the soil and water and your plant will never know it was disturbed.—G. E. E., in the Indiana Farmer. A Rhode Island Red Talk. A friend said to the writer the other day: “Geer, what do you know about the Rhode Island Reds, where did they come from anyhow, and where did they get the drag they have on the poultry fraternity?” Our reply to one section of his compound ques- tion was prompt: i’ “Rhode Island, of course, up there in Yankeeland where they made the Barred Plymouth Rocks, dressed down the Leghorns, Brown, White and Black, and struck out of a piece of marble the beautiful White Wyan- dotte.” Ta In general, however, his question perplexed us, for we do not know as much about the Rhode Island Reds as we should like to know. But we do know that in the matter of color it is necessary to breed very closely to the standard in order to make ad- vancement in a fixed red color for the breed. It will not do, if one wants to raise clear red birds, to breed from fowls with white or smut in their plumage, nor from hens which in their second and third year show too much of the light creamy color. And, our observation is, that a pullet that is really a good, dark even shade of red, with no white, and no smut, will not fade to the lighter color as she advances in age, like one that is less clearly red, or one that N= SHE has defects in the way of smut, ete. In fact, in breeding Reds, we should select the pullet that shows no smut adown the back in the under feathers, and which has no tendency to light blotches in the heavier feath- ers. One that is a good, clear red to the skin, with a glowing, clear red cast in the sunshine. This kind of a pullet will, when she gets older, still have a well defined reddish cast to her plumage, and will not run to a lighter creamy color, with .darker neckhackle. And such a female, mated with a cock bird that is like- wise free of smut and white, with good red undercolor and a good strong red in his surface color, will throw chickens that will take the breeding line away up, in the way of fixing a truly red breed. | > In points of utility the Rhode Isl- and Reds are all right. The hens do get broody to an aggravation some- times if we are not looking for that characteristic; but they may be easily broken up by simply dropping them in a small bare pen with an active cockerel for a few days. They lay well, and keep it up in the cold sea- son, too. A friend of ours who has Reds, Rocks and White Plymouth Rocks, let the two latter breeds go, because he always got more eggs from his Reds than from either of the other breeds. The Reds are hearty, and the chicks grow fast and mature early. It’s a good breed and one that will stay with us, settling down eventually along the line of utility with the Barred Plymouth Rocks, the S. C. Brown and White Leghorns, and the Wyandottes.—H., B. Geer, in the In- diana Farmer. — An Open Air Wedding. A quiet, grassy slope among the hills on the borderland of England and Scotland was the scene of an open air wedding one night this week. The bride’s home was on the Cum- berland side about fifty yards up the hillside from the stream which di- vides the two countries. The bride- groom is a shepherd belonging to the Teviothead district of the Scottish border county of Roxburgh. It was desired that the ceremony should be performed at the bride’s home, but as the English marriage laws do not allow weddings at pri- vate houses a Scottish minister was obtained and the marriage was per- formed on the hillside on the Scot- tish side of the border. The bride- groom’s party traveled five miles over the hills from the railway station and was joined by the bride’s party, which walked down from the house. The customary young men’s race was run after the ceremony, and then the two parties crossed the stream into England and climbed the hill to the bride’s house. — London Evening Standard. Modern Laundry Methods, Shirts—of the ‘‘boiled” variety— are often very refractory, and it takes more than courage and patience to put one on. Mr. Jones, one evening, struggling into his, which was fresh from the laundry, remarked to Mrs. Jones that it was a foolish custom, this wearing of stiff shirts. A writer in Tit-Bits tells the story.’ “We've got plenty of time, dear,” said his wife. ‘I guess the only trouble is that the girl boiled it a lit- tle too long.” ’ : “Looks to me as if she had fried it!” said Mr. Jones, as his head emerged. ay Developed Since Then. “Augustus Saint-Gaudens,” said a Cornish novelist, “used to illustrate the development of ar: in America by a story of the past. “He said that, in the 40s, a rich Bostonian built a fine house in the Back Bay.

The chief dangers arising from car- rying athletics to extremes are: First, uneven development of limbs and or- gans, due to special extravagant devo- | tion to one form of exercise. This is especially dangerous in immature bodies. Second, overstrain on the nerves and rapid ‘waste of tissue. i Third, and perhaps most serious of all, general poisoning by the ‘accumula- tion of waste products in the body far more rapidly than they can be elimin- ated by natural means. Lastly, over- physical culture has a very bad men- tal effect, for the more perfectly train- ed man is in the physical sense the nearer he approaches to the level of an automaton—a splendididly balanced and regulated machine, but weakened in the higher mental qualities. Vital force cannot be increased in this way; it can only be specialized, and what is gained in one direction has to be lost in another.—The Family Doctor. Household Helps.
