Poured Gold In His Teeth. This story has come to light In a police court. A young man from Chi cago arrived in New York, hoping to obtain work as a waiter. He failed, and was arrested for stealing a roll of cloth from a tailor shop, In broad daylight. He pleaded guilty to the charge, and told the fol lowing story: "All the money I had was spent. I bad no friend to help me get work. I pawned my overcoat and spent the money I got on it, except IS cents. I spent that for a pair of Jllers, which I used to to rip the gold teeth from my mouth. These cost me $75 and I pawned them for $3.50, all I could get, and when that money was gone I had to steal or starve. "I went to a clothing shop, picked up a roll of cloth In plain view of Its owners, and stood ten feet from the door, waiting to be sent to prison, where I would be sure of a bed and some food." Recorder Goff paroled the young young man and the officials saw that he was sent to his home in Chicago. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Anxious for His Divorce. A Rhode Island lawyer who devote much of his attention to the procure ment of divorces, tells the following: "One day last month there entered my office a prosperous looking Ger man, who. without much preliminary conversation, stated that he wanted a divorce. Suffice it to say that the mass of facts elicited from the appli cant would have served to obtain sev eral divorces. At that, It was a toss up as to whether the man or his wife as the better entitled to a judicial separation. So I hinted to the German that It might be well for blm to al low the woman to get the divorce. 'She's a woman, you know,' I added, 'and It would be wiser for both of you.' "The man gazed anxiously at me for some minutes. Then he exclaimed excitedly: " 'You think I haf done enough to ber alretty, eh?" ." 'Certainly,' answered I. " 'Because,' he added, eagerly, 'if I haf n't, den I'll go and hit her once now!' " Two Fish Unaccounted For, "Old" Gortorj of Manchester was an ardent disciple of Izaak Walton. On one occasion he was sitting upon the railroad bridge in company with some of the young men of the town, pur suing his favorite occupation. The fish did not bite well, however, and one of his companions, becoming Im patient, unnoticed by the old man, got up, wound up his line, and started for home, throwing a couple of flsh into Gorton's basket as he paBsed. After a time Gorton, too, tired of bis poor luck, prepared for dearture. Lifting the the cover of his basket, be looked In, counted his catch, and said, with a surprised and disappoint ed voice: "Why, I had five cunners, and now there ain't but seven! Where the devil's tother two?" She Was 8fe In Natlck. Little Hester, 4 years old, was vis iting her grandparents, who are very Btrlct Scotch Presbyterians. One day, having done something naughty, her grandmother took her in her arms, talked to her about being good and finished by saying: "God sees you, and he will not love you if you are not a good little girl." Hester opened wide her wondering eyes, and gravely looking Into her grandmother's face, said: "But, grand ma, he csn't see me when I am at home, for there Is no God in Natlck." OUST THE DEMON. To.ila WUh Coffea. There Is something fairly demonia cal In the way coffee sometimes wreaks Its fiendish malice on those who use it. A lady writing from Calif, says: "My husband and I, both lovers of coffee, suffered for some time from a ry annoying form of nervousicss, jireompanled by most frightful head aches. In my own case there was eventuully developed some sort of af fection of tho nerve", leading from the spine to the head. "I whs unable to bold my head up straight, the tension of the nerves drew it to one side, causing me the most' inteiiHo pain. We got no relief from medicine, and were puzzled as to whnt caused the trouble, till a friend suggested that possibly the coffee we drank had something to do with It, aud advised that we quit it and try Pos turn Coffee. "Wo followed his advice, and from the day that we began to use 1'ontuni we both began to Improve, und in n very short time both of us were en tirely relieved. Tho nerves became steady once more, the headaches c-.ased, the muscles in the back of my neck relaxed, my head straightened up und tho dreadful pain that had so punlBhed me while I used the old kind of coffee vanished. "We have never resumed the use of the old coffee, but relish our Postum tvery day as well as we did the for mer beverage. And we are delighted to find that we can give It freely to ur children also, something; re never flared to do with the old kind of cot fee." Name given by Postum Co., Uut Ue Creek, Mich.

When chicks are fed on comment, do not make it Into dough, as It is not umVictit, but with each mess of corn meal mix fresh milk Instead of water, and the value of the mess will be In creased. Give the chicks n variety of feed, as they will eat any kind of seeds or small grain, especially broken wheat. The chicks are liable to get wet by wading In the milk, although It Is ex cellent. If this Is not the case, the milk will become sour and breed dis ease. Mix the milk with cornmeal and let the mess be eaten up clean; then the chicks will relish it and thrive on the mixture.

In a German periodical devoted to architectural and engineering topics, n writer named Nussbauin discusses the best measures for seasoning timber and for preventing the growth of dry rot and other diseases to which it is liable. lie points out that for numer ous reasons It is Inexpedient to fell the timber when full of sap, and there are many objections to the plan which has been recommended of leaving the felled timber for several years in the forest after It has been cut down, for it is then exposed to the attacks of various vegetable parasites and fungi which abound in such places. He advises that directly the leaves or new fir needles have been formed those trees which are hereafter to be lolled In-the niitmun should be ringed round by the removv.l of a wide strip of l.mrk. Including Hie sap layer. This would hinder the ascent of moisture from the ground and would cause tho foliage to extract from the trunk all the sap and liquid particles in the cells. Such a procedure, moreover, en ables the wood to dry very rapidly after being felled, and then the log should bo at once removed from the forest and stored In a dry situation for use. By emptying the sap vessels In ihis natural way the attacks both of animal and vegetable parasites which prey on the Juices are avoided. Trib une runner. The Queen He?. The queen Is n fair and stately bee, differing from the workers both In shape aud color. She is longer than a honey bee by one-third, and some what onger than a drone, but not quite so big around. The queen Is treated with the great est respect and affection by tho bees. A circle of her offspring often surround her, testifying In various ways their dutiful regard, offering her food from tluio to time, rind till of them politely backing out of her way, to glvo her a clear puth shnn she moves over the combs. So Ntrniig Is tile feeling of the workers for the queen, that if for any reason she Is removed, the whole colony Is tilled with consternation and diMiiny. Her death, when it Is too late In the season to raise another queen, means the Uuiil extinction of the colony. A Rood queen will sometimes lay from two to three thousand eggs a day, or nearly the weight of her own body, and continue doing It for weeks in sue cession. At the beginning of the season the queen lays eggs iu tho worker cells. She walks over the combs, puts her head Into each open cell as she comes to it, as though to discover whether it is occupied or is in fit condition to receive an egg. I have often watched how faithfully she goes about her work, from nu observatory hive, for hours. v The queen only stings othct queens, nnd seeks only to kill her rivals. She may be handled to any extent, without fear of being slung. She has also great tenacity of life, as well as longevity. F. O. Ilrrman, In Massachusetts rioiighmnn. Rata In tlia (lilt-ken Yard. A never fulling remedy for these pests of the chicken yard Is not at pres ent In sight; but a substitute may be mentioned, a remedy that falls some times nnd many times succeeds. It is this: Sprend fresh bread with sweet grease, such as Is saved from frying bacon and pork. Rats will eat bread spread with gilt edged butter, and they may like It better, but on the score of economy try grease spread liberally. Then spread on the grease any of the phosphoric pastes, and over this poison sprinkle sugar. Cut the bread Into small squares and lay them where the rats run. a few In a place; but not where chickens, or hens, or children will get them. Do this In the evening, having set cans of water where the rats may find them easily. In the morning gather up what pieces of bread .';avp not been eaten and bury them. If they have nil dis appeared during the night, rejoice. There will . be fewer rats around for awhile. In the course of a week make a mush of cornmeal. mix the poison with It, sprinkle n little sugar over the top and hide It away from them In some dark places. They will find It and eat It. Again rejoice. But do not place tho same kind of disli for rats a second time In tho same place. They are cautious and suspicions. Be more crafty in providing tidbits for them than they are cautious. Now n little beef, again scraps of fish, and then bread and grease. Vary the tempta tion, and they will fall victims to it. William It. Cory, Windsor, Conn., in the Tribune-Farmer. Advantaged of Rtlace, The difficulty of securing succulent feed during the dry period of summer, nnd also during the winter season, has been met in several ways with varying success. But for general feeding upon most dairy farms throughout the Cen tral States corn silage Is the most eco nomical succulent feed which can be obtained for cows nt a season when pasture Is not available. When fed with other grains so os to make a bal anced ration, it tends to heavy milk production and is always very cheap feed. By the use of the silo, green feed can be had at less cost than for soiling, sine with the silo corn muy be used to a greater extent. Professor W. J. Frusr, of the Illinois Experi ment Station, states In n recent bul letin, No. 101. that in Illinois corn Is the best single crop for silage, and combined with cowpcase or soy beans, the feeding value may be somewhat Increased. .The time to cut corn for silage Is when fully tasseled. and when the ears are Just beginning to show the dents on nearly all the grains. It is found that ut this stage the dry matter and nutrients as well are at the highest point. If ripe, silage will not settle well into tho silo, and so will not bo sufficiently protected to prevent spoil ing. Corn for this purpose is most easily handled by cutting with a binder, using silage cutter and large knife to take the bundles without cutting the bands. In filling the silo the leaves and stems must be thoroughly mixed, and after it is put In the shock well tramped next to the wall. After filling, the top six Inches should be wet once and trumped occasionally for a week to ob tain a compuct layer, which Will pre serve the silage. Records of the cost of silo filling on nineteen different farms In various pnrts of Illinois show thot the cost ranges from forty to seventy-five cents per ton, the average being fifty-six cents. Of 372 comparisons made be tween silage and unsilago milk, sixty per cent, were in fuvor of the siluge milk. Orange Judd Farmer. A PIe Home. A veteran raiser of swine has set about raising his animals on the col ony plan, somewhat after the plan of raising poultry. He has no diffi culty after the first week when the pigs learn which house Is their own. The pigs are placed on the range with these colony houses as soon us they are olel enough to graze. The houses are built low unM arranged so that the ends are open near the top, using sluts of heavy material with a. wide board at the bottom. ' The back Is solid, and there is a good roof which is water proof. The front is arranged so that the ""Trl'V'1--i . Va bottom bourd moy be removed; it Is hooked In place at each end, and over the entire front Is placed a sloping roof, Kouiewhuc In form like the roof of u vernudii. This roof furnishes shade, und with the partly open front and sides, there Is plenty of ventila tion. The pigs graze all they wish aud then go Into the pen to rest or to get out of the hot sun. At night they occupy It very rarely, sleeping ou the grass. With the smuller pigs core Is taken to place the bottom board of the front In place aud hook it at night. Any feeding that is done is given in a trough at the side of tho colony house. The illustration shows the. construe tlou of these houses, which should bo small enough so they may be" placed on a stone bout or tied and carried, under cover in the fall. Indianapolis News.

G. Dun & Co.'s "Weekly Review of Trade" says: "Distribution of Autumn merchandise is in progress unusually early this year, and the volume of forward business ii so heavy that the last half of 1005 prom ises to establish a remarkable record of commercial activity. "Current retail trade is well maintain ed, the urgency of orders received by jobbers indicating that dealers' stocks arc becoming depleted, and there is lit tle complaint regarding collections. "M ore labor elisputes have reached settlement, and no serious controver sies arc threatened, while in many sec tions the supply of wage earners is in adequate. Freight blockades and insuffi cient rolling stock cause delay, despite widely extended facilities as compared with last year, and this trouble will probably increase as the crop-moving season advances. "Special reports regarding manufac turing conditions have been received from about forty leading industrial cen ters, and there is surprising unanimity in the statements. With scarcely an exception plants arc working close to full capacity, with little idle machinery, exept where allralions or improvements arc in progress, and contracts on hand far exceed those held at this date in 1904.

"I was reading a magazine article the other day I'm always reading something," said the hardware mer chant, "thut had It that Dr. Kennedy . had discovered that birds have a sense of humor.

The robin looked the intruder over, picked up 11 bit of dead twig that resembled a worm, mrl hastily thrust It into his throat.

There is a beauty in health which Is more at tractive to men than mere regularity of feature.

A sickly, half-dead-and-alive woman, especially when she is the mother of a family, is a damper to all Joyou's iicrs in the home, and a drag upon her husband. The cost of a wife's con stant illness is a serious drain upon the funds of a household, and too often all the doc toring docs no good. If n woman finds her energies are flagging, nnd that everything1 tires her, dark shadows appear under her eyes, her sleep is disturbed by horrible dreams; if she has backache, head aches, benring-down pains, nervous ness, white, irregularities, or despon dency, she should take means to build her system up at once bv a tonic with specific powers, such as l.ydia E.
