Queen a Good Shot.
The queen of Italy is one of the fin-
est shots in Europe, not only in com-
parison with her own sex, but as
against all comers. In her girlhood
she was a great huntress, but she no
longer hunts; she now has an uncon-
querable aversion to killing anything,
and, though she still shoots, it is only
at clay pigeons or some such mark.—

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.

Most Popular Joke.
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.

Don’t be a cueap farmer. Do not

f
~ Cultivation of Sweet Peas.
1f sweet peas are to be cultivated
in rows, it is a good plan to draw a
broad, flat-bottomed drill, about a
foot or eighteen inches wide. 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.

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

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

Back Bay. He decided to adorn
the lawn with statuary, and, having
heard of the Venus de Milo, he wrote
t2 Rome for a replica.
“The copy duly arrived. It was in
marble. But the Boston man .-no
sooner got it than he sued the rail-
road company for $2500 for mutila-
tion. He won the suit, too.”—Minne-

Dangers of Athletics.
. 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.

Corned Beef Omelette.—Beat the yolks
and whites of four eggs separately and add
one-half of the whites to all of the yolks.
Put in a hot frying pan and, when nicely
browned on the bottom, sprinkle a cup of
minced corned beef ‘over it. Spread over
this the remainder of the whites, put in
the oven and brown on top. Then fold
and serve.
Creamed Corned Beef.—Mince the con-

Beef in boiling water—it is already cooked
—and serve in the usual manner with

Besides the economy in the use of Lib-
by’s Corned Beef, another great advantage
to the housewife in using it is that it is all
cooked when bought and there is no neces-
sity for the long, tedious and expensive
boiling which is necessary with raw corned
beef. The house is not filled with steam
and odors and valuable time is saved.

she will do it.” It was the same poet.

Insurance or Pensions?
The Massachusetts State Savings
Bank Insurance league is going about
its enterprise in a business-like way.
It is attempting to furnish safe and
good insurance at low cost, and is
stimulating a discriminating knowl-
edge of what it has for sale. Cheap,
safe insurance, providing for the wage-
earner’s declining years, is a neces-
sity in every industrial community. In
place of the German pension system
which divides the burden between the
State, the employer, and the employe,
and which means compulsion, and in-
stead of the English scheme of old-
age pensions borne by general taxa-
tion, which may mean charity, Massa-

by which her wage earners may pro-
