"That's one time when Shakespeare
was in error; to didn't know what he
was talking about."
The youug man's tone was that of
fine resenting a personal affront.
His mother smiU-d und rsiandingly.
"Was that when he said. 'What's in a
name?""
"Of course." with aggrieved empha
sis, "I don't want to fiud fault with
you. mother. You're the best mother
ever a fellow had, but I'd give my next
year's salary, even with th • expected
increase, if you had named me some
thing elite —John or Tom or any other
name that is pronounceable."
"I don't like the name of Nebuzara
don myself, but you know. Don, you
were named for your father's uncle,
and he was seventy years old then and
Immensely wealthy."
"Yes, and he is ninety-four years old
now and still Immensely wealthy. And
"Dim, 1 HAVE A DREADFUL COXrEBSIOH
TO tIiKX."
1 am forced to sign myself 'N. Nye'
and am the butt of all sorts of ridic
ulous jokes on account of my name. I
will not write out that naute, 'Nebuza
radon,' and of course I don't want busi
ness men to call mo 'Don.' as you do.
One thing lam resolved upon—l shall
marry a girl with an ordinary name,
Mary or Elizabeth or Ann."
Llis mother laughed teaslngly.
"It will l»c just your fate to fall In
love with a girl named Clytemncstrg."
Don groaned d I tun ally,
wouldn't k" within ten miles of
her, and if I'm a lonely bachelor all
my life you will know it is because no
womifn will marry me on account of
my horrible name. Let's change the
subject. The people who have bought
the Parker place urn tilting up the
grounds beautifully. I noticed us I
came by,"
"Ves; 1 called there today. Mrs.
Holmes told me that her daughter had
charge of nil that. She Is Just home
from college arid Is a very changing
girl. I'd like you tq gn with u»e to call
on thejp They are likely to prove a
very desirable acquisition to the neigh
borhood."
"I hope the girl's name Isn't Clytem
nestra," growled Don.
"Really, Don, tle-nr, I dldu't question
her km tu her name, but her mother
culled her Happy."
"Happy, Happy," he repented -"that
Is a very pretty name. Happy Holmes
that Is a particularly pleasing com
bination. 1 ijuvo no objection to cull
ing on a girl with so attractive u
name."
During tlju long, bright summer Don
and his new neighbor were together
almost constantly. Happy's name was
admirably appropriate. The sunshlnu
In her heart seemed to shed Its bijglit
ness on all around Htm hud a
sweet, (tank mature and made no con
cealment of her pleasure In Don's so
ciety. The hitherto unimpressionable
Don was soon deeply In love.
"I'm thankful her name Isn't Clytem
nestra. How mother would enjoy teas
ing met 'J'hure tvuldu't be a ulcer
lilt mo than Happy, and a more lovely
girl doesn't exist."
l>ou's detestation of his owu umue
was d«.'C|i V>'tite«| and genuine. He had
It nervous dread that almost amounted
to horror whenever he thought of the
possible dislike that Happy might have
for it.
"If It weren't for that lufviaui name
I'd brace up pud ask her to marry me.
put what g>r| would cure to have Mrs.
Nelnizuradoii Nye on her visiting
cards? Even If I used the name Don
that would be almost as absurd."
One day he cautiously sounded liu|»-
py on the subject buuies. "llavo
you no yams other than Happy V" he
u»*>-d.
"My middle name is Kens," she re
filled. "I was named by my movheft
aunt, who Is very wealthy, and prom
ised to (pake pie tier heiress if I w.ru
given her name,'*
"You Should be thankful your aunt
had so pretty a name," ho remarked
enviously.
Don's eyes were fixed on a brown
lock that curled against Happy's white
neck, aud he fulled to notice the pain
ful Uuf.ii thut crept over her round
Check,
"Haven't you a middle name?" she
asked presently.
"No," Don answered shortly, und ab
ruptly changed the subject
'llie uatiie (iuuolmU him. "Happy Ness
fly." he repeated. "Happy Ness Nye!
f my name were John or (Jeorge hap
plii' HN might be riIkli me perhaps."
When a man really cares for a girl ho
r.iniill a ttilf >K as an undesirable uaniu
counts for little., {lot* finally conquered
the Ululdlly thai assailed him when
ever he thought of himself as 'Nebusa
radon' IIUd was Insanely happy over
the result.
"I'otl, "l"nr," said Happy a few dnys
after the nrinounccment of their en
gageiui-iit, "do you know what first, at
tracted un- to you?"
"My good looks, I e'jj>(*«•»,* answered
Don confident
"Nuthin* of the kind, you vain crea
ture. ft was your name."
"My name!" groaned Don despairing
iy
"Yes; If Is no short «ud easy and has
sucli a phmanut, debouulr sound. I said
It over and over ugntn 'Don, Don, Don
Nyo.' Yes; I liked your name decided
ly, and from that It was not at all n
difficult matter to like you."
"Happy, I have s dreadful confession
to make. My name isn't really lion.
That la only the final syllable of the
name. Whin we are married I'll have
to write my name on the records Nebu
za ration Nye."
Happy was silent
"Does it seem so very dreadful to
you, Happy? I am sorry, but I cannot
help it. And you don't know how I
have suffered all my life with that
abominable name."
"Yes, I da dear Don," cried Happy,
laughing hysterically, "and the fates
have surely brought us together, for
my name is Kerenhappuch!"
That evening Don questioned his
mother. "Did you know what Happy's
name really is?"
"Yes, I did. but I knew you wouldn't
even so to call if you knew, aud I liked
her so well. Happy Is just as lovely as
If her name were Mary Ann. Besides,
Don," with a mischievous laugh, "they
are both Scripture names."
"Won't they look great on the wed
ding cards." exclaimed Don —"Keren-
bsppuch Ness Holmes and Nebuzara
don Nye! But what's in a name"—
"Then you are willing to admit that
Shakespeare Y*as right"—
"I admit nothing. He didn't know;
he simply stumbled on to the truth. He
couldn't know, for he had never seen
Happy."
Saved fS.OOO on a fI.OOO Salary.
Three commercial tourists were swap
ping yarns around the table at a down
town hotel recently, and the talk drift
ed to expenses.
"My firm has always been liberal in
the matter," said the first drummer,
"but they got taken In badly once.
They needed a man for the western
part of the state and took on a young
fellow from away down oast, who put
up an elegant bluff and signed a year's
contract with them for SI,OOO and $5
a day expenses, ne couldn't sell gold
dollars for a nickel apiece, but he
saved $2,000 that year and started In
business for himself and is now one
of our competitors."
"Our people don't care what a man's
expenses are so long as he sells the
goods," said salesman No. 2, "but once
in uwhile they register a kick on prin
ciple. I-ant year, about this time, 1 got
in from a short trip through Ohio and
Kentucky. It was new ground to me,
and I did fairly well. When I handed
in my expense account, the Junior part
ner said to me, 'See here, old man, 1
made that trip myself two years ago
for $25 less than it cost you, und 1
charged up a fifty dollar overcoat.' "

The position of the Japanese wife Is
not that of equality with her husband.
He Is the liege lord, to be obeyed by
her In the most servile manner. He ex
acts from her the Uttlo attentions that
an American woman expects and usu
ally gets from her husband. Without
so much as a murmur of complaint
from his spouse, who must always re
ceive him with bows and smiles and
ever have her mind and eyes on his
comfort, he goes and comes when he
pleases. When he fares forth socially
he docs not take her with him; when
he receives gentlemen lu his own bouse
—a rare thing, by the way-madame
Seldom presents herself unless In some
menial capacity. And, while such a
thing as conjugal love must exist In
Japan, It usually escapes the notice of
the foreign sojourner, the people con
sidering It vulgar ta exhibit emotion of
any kind In public. The wife as a so
cial unit being completely submerged,
It follows thut others of her sex must
take her place socially, and In this
office the geisha girls play an Impor

I'neeedvd Strata on Horses.
The strength required of an averago
sized team of horses and the strain on
the horses to draw a heavy load aver
stones or out of a deep rut hole or
over many other avoidable obstacles
lire often greater than to draw the same
loud over a smooth surface fifty yards.
It would be a small estimate to say
a careless driver strulns his team in
that manner tweuty times a day.
if the driver prevents straining his
horses twenty times each day ho will
save them 1,000 yards of unnecessary
pulling und In the 800 working days of
the year 800,000 yurds and in five years
1,500,000 yards- yearly 1,000 miles.
With proper Judgment and careful
ness the driver fit the end of tho five
years wl|J have, in place of a team of
\veuk. overworked, bony horses, a team
of hoslthy and strong ones.

This wagon Jack, according to a cor

Canadian, but has been in public use
since the patent expired. It is widely
nsed in Canada. It is strong, simple
and easily handled. A is 3 by 3 inches

lever B Is of inch stuff. 0 inches wide

The standard C Is 3 by 3 Inches and

der the axle, the latter resting on one of
the pins; then the lever B Is pressed
down to imsltion, as shown in Fig. 2,
and a bolt through B and C (not shown
in cut) holds it in place. The distance
between the bolts at the upper end of
A and B is five inches. I'ut the bolt

Maiore and Fertiliser.
Of course the best way of keeping up
soil fertility Is by using manure. Tbe
experience of city gardeners clearly
proves that the soil can be kept at the
highest state of fertility by large appli
cations of manure alone, though many
truck farmers use fertilizers either ex
clusively or In enormous quantities.
When manure Is used In large enough
quantities It supplies all the plant food
elements in abundance and Is of espe
cial value In gardening, as It provides
a large amount of nitrogenous matter
which Is of value In promoting the
growth of vegetable tissue. It also
keeps the soil filled with humus.
Fertilizers are principally used where
It Is lm|Kisslble to obtalu manure.
When they are applied with intelli
gence and Judgment the farm Income la
not only greatly Increased without In
jury to the soli, but the soli fertility is
actually lncr<nse<l. When carelessly
or Ignorantly employed a coutrary re
sult surely follows.
The exclusive us© of fertilisers upon
cultivated crops on the same, land for
H lon* term of years Impoverishes the
soil of Its humus or vegetable matter.
Under such treatment soils liecome
more and more difficult to plow and
cultivate; they quickly dry out and
bake li\ summer and are badly washed
in winter.
Commercial fertilizers have been used
by Atlantic coast farmers for many
years, and the consensus of opinion is
that where fertilizers are the sole de
pendence the texture of tlie soil must
be preserved by adding vegetable mat
ter, which Is most easily done by plow
ing down green crops, or the crop pro
ducing power of the land will fail.—
American Agriculturist
All Aroand the Farm.
A comparatively new and very good
Idea Is that of re-enforcing stable ma
nure with <*ommerdal fert.Users, using
such In addition as are needed for the
special grain, grass or fruit that con
stitutes the most profitable crop In the
locality.
The leading buckwheat states are
New York and Pennsylvania. Buck
wheat, llko the bean crop, seems to be
particularly well adaptwl for culture on
lands that have become too unproduc
tive to make the raising of the ordinary
farm crops deidrable.
There Is but little doubt that the
farm separator system of removing tho
cream at the farm and retaining tho
milk at home Is ny far the best plan
for the farmer. This method Is proving
to be equally satisfactory to tho most
progressive creamerymeu.
In the nainu of humanity do not bnlld

Heavier Horse*.
The farmer today requires heavier
horses than he has been using to do
bis farm work profitably. The two fur
row plow, the wide harrow and other
Implements require jwiwer. One man
with a good three horse team and mod
ern Implements will do ss much work
nnd do It better than two men can

Hay In this country is annually
worth more than corn, cotton, wheat,
oats and rye combined. Science must
step In to keep up the supply. We must
have Intense cultivation to succeed. I
move the earth on my fields In two
months. Just Is*fore Needing, at least
fifty times six Inches deep, back and
forth, up and down, over and under,
and at the same time keep tho surface
true that we may cultivate to au even
depth. This process reduces all sod or
other vegetation to plant f<sxl, sprouts
and kills out foul germs and lets In
sunshine. This Is Intense cultlvstloll.
There are many facts In grass cul
ture which It Is well to remember.
!t<-dtop timothy when sown to
gether will produce one and a half tons

ing but bone, muriate of i*otash and
nitrate of soda or their equivalent
Thereafter fertilize every crop whether
first or second. The second crop should
be cut just before frost and the field
kept clean for winter. Fields well
cared for and kept clean will never
winter kill, (irass fields should never
be pastured. No part of the grass stand
can ever be recovered except by re
seeding. Eternal vigilance is the price
we pay to get the best results In grass
culture. My first experimental crop on
sixteen acres was over sixty-four tons,
and for many years the same field in
two crops produced over 100 tons. The
outside cost of hay produced by this
method iloes not exceed $5 per ton for
well dried hay In the barn. Intense
cultivation had done It. It will work
wonders.
Tlii9 year less than eleven acres of
land formerly as poor, rocky and bad
as any in the county produced over
107,000 pounds of well dried hay in two
crops, over seven and a half tons per
acre. For eighteen years it has pro
duced a similar amount.—G. M. Clark

Goat* at the Worl«l*a Fair.
Chief F. D. Coburti of the world's fair
department of live stock has received
an application from John \V. Fulton,
secretary of the American Angora Goat
Breeders' association, for a date for a
public sale of Angoras under the aus
pices of that association during the pe
riod of the displays of goats at the I.ou-
Islana Purchase exposition. The world's
fair classification gives the Angora goat
much larger recognition than has been
accorded to It at any previous show, al
lotting to the breed $3,410 for 133 cash
prizes. It Is possible for a single buck
to win |230 and to aid in winning $320
additional of exposition money, togeth
er with diplomas, special prizes, etc. A
more active Interest In the milk goat
has been developed through the atten
tion paid to that animal In the world's
fair live stock classification. It has
been suggested to breeders that the
exposition's shows at St. Louis will
afford an opportune occasion for the
organization of a milk goat register as
sociation. This has so far received the
unanimous approval of the breeders
concerned, and a preliminary organlza
has been made.—Nntlonal Stockman.
IK Poultry Breeding.
If one Is to keep poultry It is just as
well to have It as good as possible. To
get it so be careful In the selection of
breeders. For Instance, select hens and
males a cross section through which
would be like Fig. 2 and not like Fig. 1.
Why? Because in Fig. 2 there Is a
large quantity of white meat running
from the breast clear back between the
CBOM MICTIONS or CHICKENS.
thighs. Select breeders that have thighs
and legs well apart. Thnt Is one point
In breeding good poultry. Another Is
In selecting birds with breasts not only
full, but deep down through, nnd an
other Is In selecting birds with wide
backs. The narrow bird can carry lit
tle flesh.—Fnrm Journal.

Uroirlh of tho lluronn Heart.
A scientific analysis of the growth of
the human heart demonstrates the fact
that the Increase Is greatest and most
rapid during the first and second years
or life. Its bulk ut the end of the sec
ond year being exactly double what It
originally was. Between the second
and seventh years It Is again doubled
In size. A slower rate of growth then
sets in and continues during the perl<sl
of maturity of other portions of the
body. After the fifteenth year up to
the fiftieth the annual growth of tho
heart Is nliout .'*> l of a cubic Inch,
the Increase ceasing übout the fiftieth
year.
