An admiral's full-dress outflt.tncludlng the - hat. Is worth $765. The epaulets alone . cost $165. During the engagement at Manila Commodoro Dewey, as he stood on the bridge directing his forces, wore what Is called the service coat, of dark blue serge, shaped to the figure, with a slit on each hip extending on the right side as high as the sword belt. Plain gutta percha buttons and a .high collar fin ished the coat. His trousers had a atrip of gold lace down their outer seams one Inch wide. The visor of his cap was trimmed with oak leaves.

( ' Aside from its crop of trees with which nnoultivuted land is mostly covered, it also prodnoes nuts, berries and other fruits which are always in their season to be found in city mar kets. The whortleberry and its near relative, the huckleberry, are always grown wild, as tbey need Jnst the dampness and shade that they find in forest and low, wild land. But the wild blackberries and raspberries still constitute ft considerable portion of the frnit sold iu city markets. In. most cases this eclf-grown frnit is re garded as the property of whoever wishes to gather it. The huckleberry patches are, however, often reserved by owners of the land, nud those wish ing the frnit must pay for it, or, as is usually done, dividing it after it is picked. A Few Points to Know. Charcoal is excellent for poultry; so is corn burned or charred on the ear. One way to get a yellow yolk is to take beets or carrots, cook them for the fowls, feed them, and in two days there will be a change; the yolks will be as yellow as desired. One of the most important things in feeding poultry, yet too often neglected, is a supply of good, pure drinking water, and a fowl tlriuUs every ten or fifteen minutes iu warm weather. Im pure witter is one of the most fruitful sourcos of disease. Oiiolera, for in stance, is in all probability, due often to the Klrinkiug of water that is not pure. Snow water will reduce flesh as rapidly as a sharp attack of diarrhoea. The best thing is to have ft stream of running water. A few rusty nails in the water are good, or a few drops of tincture of iron every other day. The vessels must be kept olean, and water should be warmed in winter for fowls, or it will chill them, but in sumnrer it should be cool. Apples For Cooking There are many sour apples that contain mora saccharine matter than those that are called "sweet" only be cause they lack acidity. And there is some raolio aoid in the varieties that are called sweet. It is the combina tion of aweet with acidity that makes the richest and best flavored apples either for eating raw or for cooking. Commonly, only those that are very distinctly acid have a good flavor when cooked, and they should be acid enough to require considerable sugar in cooking. Yet, when the country was new, sugar was much dearer than it is now, and to. save sugar the sweet and sour apples were sometimes made into pies together. This was, how ever, a poor substitute for sugar, as the sweet apples would not cook through so quickly as the sour, and remained hard and nearly tasteless lumps in the pie. There were some kinds of native fruit apples that never were propagated iu nurseries that were neither whollV aweet nor wholly sour, but such a combination of both that they would make very good pies without sweetening of any kind. Uonev Selling With Profit. The apiariBt who has but little honey for sale will find it much more profitable to arrange with some live grocer in a neighboring town to han dle his produot on commission than to ship to commission men in large cities. It is preferable, however, to work up retail trade of yonr own, whioh may be readily dono by the use of small sample boxes. In the spring get some seotions holding a quarter of pound of honey and set them on the hives; when they are filled label them and distribute them among tbo best fam ilies of your nearest town. Follow this up woek later by taking orders, and if yonr samples were up to the mark you will have no tronbla in get ting advanoe orders for all tho honey you will have for sale. It will be comparatively easy matter to add to the trade another year, and you will soon find yon have built up a pleasant and profitable business. The farmer who can successfully produoe enough boney for the use of bis own house hold is well fitted to go into the busi ness on much larger scale. Why la Poultry Valuable to the Farmer Professor Gilbert, of Ottawa, an swers this question in the following manner and his conolusions cannot be questioned: 1. Ueoause he ought by their means to oonvert a good deal of the waste eI his farm into money in the shape of egga and ohickety. for the market. ' I. .Because with intelligent manage ment, they ought to be all year revenne producers, with the exception of per haps two months, during the moulting period. 8. Beoftnse poultry will yield him quicker return for his capital invested than any of the other departments of ignoultnre, 4. Becsuse the manure from the poultry bonse will make ft valuable oompost for nso in either-vegetable garden or orchard. The birds them selves, if allowed to rnn in plant or pple orohards, will destroy all injuri ous inseot Ufa. 5. Because while cereals and fruits can only be successfully grown in cer tain seotions, poultry can be raised for table use or layers of eggs in all parts of the country. O. iJeoause poultry raUipg is n em ployment in whioh the farmer'a wife and daughters can engage and leave mm free to attend to other depart ments. 7. Beoause it will bring the beat re turns in the shape of new laid eggs during the winter season when the farmer has most time on his hands. 8. Because to start poultry raisin n on the farm requires little or no capi tal. Under ny circumstances, with proper management poultry ean be made, with little cost, valuable ad 's not to the farm.'-Farmar aad A rTatloa of Dyspeptic. from the Mountaineer, Walnalla. JV. Dakota.

That Is abso lutely the case In Hawaii. In New Zealand, equally free of these reptiles, the only knowledge which the Maoris had of anakes may be found In a le gend of ft monster called the taniwha, concerning which the authorities differ as to whether It is the ancestral and dim recollection of a snake or of an al ligator. All the eastern islands of Polynesia between these two outposts re snakeless. Westward from Hawaii, down among the Gilberts and the Marshalls and the Carolines, the square-bodied water anake begins to make Its appearance In the lagoons and harbors. By the time the Phllllplnea are reached the water snake becomes both common and deadly and the jungle of those Islands are abundant ly supplied with snakes. From the Phllllplnea as one follows down the chains of Islands snakes are found both abundant and venomous. In the wild landa of the western Pacific the reptiles are frequently objects of wor ship, and in aome legends are credited with the creation of the world. Samoa seems to lie just on the boundary line of anakea in the Pacific. In the east ern Islands of , the archipelago no anakea are to be found; ' In Upolu ft few are seen at rare Interval!. In 8a vall only a few mllea to the westward they are common and attain great size, In the caaa of some kind at least. None' of them la venomous and the islanders neither fear them nor exhibit any of that repugnance to their presence which Is commonly called Instinctive. This Indifference to the reptllea la made moat markedly manifest at the hamlet Of Ira on the northeast coast of Savall. Here are to be found small snakee of the most brilliant red color. Thty are so common that ft basketful may be easily picked up In any banana patch. The dancing girls of this town are In the habit of employing these gaudy anakes for personal adornment lit their dances. They tie them about their necks, their ftnkles, and their wrlata, festoon them In their headdreaaes, and tuck few extra one In their belt In readiness to replace such as escape In' the dance. At their best these alvas danced by the 8a moana are either dull or revolting shows of savagery. It can he easily imagined that tbey are made no more attractive when the taupou or village maid and bar crew of attendant girls go careering about with an assortment of writhing red snakes. Still the 8a moana, who have no stock ef anake prejudices, look upon this as one of the most successful and artistic dances in their iJloaalaV Ok 0 The Bskloao's Moat.
