Troof That the Larder of the Earth In Practically Inexhaustible Weeds That Are Palatable and Nutritious— The Taming of Wild Fruits. | O tell how long " the world's food ■ */// supply will hold out is a problem which faces tho alarmist every time he runs up against a fresh es-m '1 batch of statis- IMiIMF fj vtf/ff/. tics proving the WfljWfll i rapid iuoreaso of population if throughout the earth. .-A'SMIS The alarmist as well as the man who regards three square meals a day as necessary to his comfort will find re assuring news in the fact that the re servo food supply of the world has been declared inexhaustible. The Department of Agriculture at Washington is authority for this com forting piece of information. For some time past it has been carefully and systematically investigating tho food stock in trade of nearly every country on the globe. Agents who are food stndonts have been sent out to China, Peru, Persia, Mexico, overywhero to tho remotest ends of the earth for the purpose of fiudingout what the new or neglected food products are, their value as a nutritious diet, and the extent to which they can be used to lengthen the menu of the civilized cook. Some very interesting and startling facts are being handed in through tho reports that cover the food question from New England to the Philippines, from Mexico to the heart of the Mon golian Empire. It has been discovered: That the nut trees alone of the world could at a pinch feed a popula tion three times as great as the pres ent number of inhabitants. While a dozen vegetables cover the limit of variety on the average table, the earth is glowinghundrodsofkinds that are nurtitious, delicious nnd easy to cultivato. That a single wild tribe of Western Indians is using forty-one kinds of vegetables which are absolutely un known, even to the chef who druws a salary as lnrgo as that of a United States Senator. DOWNTRODDEN WEEDS ARE EDIBLE. An endless variety of downtroddou weeds can bo converted into whole some, succulent "garden truck." Even the much maligned nettle has the latent qualities of a delicious en tremets. Especially interesting are the facts furnished by the unt specialists. There is no product that requires so little cultivation as the nut, uiul none is more wholesome [as a food staple. Au orchard of two thousand trees in California yields every year over twen ty-four thousand pounds of hulled nuts. Already tho commercial mind has seized upon tho enormous profits to accrue from tho sale of various prep arations of nuts, aud at least ten large companies manufacture nothing but unt foods. The Government is making a spe cial poiut of recommending nut cul ture. In New England the abandoned farms are boing planted with nut trees, and tho worked out ground is found to furnish nourishment enough to cause the walnut, butternut and chestnut to flourish abundantly. Farms in nearly every Noitheastern State are planting nut trees along with tbeir pcaohos and pears, and are utilizing the hillsides where nothing else will grow for nut orchards. In tho past the objection to nuts as a food has been that they were deemed hard to digest, but, with the new methods of preparing and cooking them, they are rendered as healthful as they aro palatable, even in Amer ica, where good digestion doos not in variably wait on appetite. WHERE WE GOT THEM. Oats, barley and rye originated in wild forms along the Mediterranean. The first noted species of wheat were brought from Persia. The common garden bean traces its ancestry baok of the landing of the Pilgrims to au early aboriginal state in the Andes. The Orient furnished us with melons, cucnmbors aud onious. Egg plant aud tomatoes were discovered in Peru. Quinces, pears, currants and large white grapes in Europe. While the most common of our vegetables,celery, lettuce, cabbage aud spiuach, were transplanted from the shores of the Mediterranean. if these important features of our daily food supply have all found their way to us from foreign lands, it seems but a quostiou of sufficient search throughout the world to increase the store until all possibility of a food famine in future ages is rendered in conceivable. One poiut that is being strongly brought out by tho Government is that many things once considered wild and poisonous and many that are still looked down upon as weeds aro health giving products aud should be ranked as a portion of tho reserve food sup ply. Indeed, the Bureau has selected seventeen of the most ordinary weeds and has issued a pamphlet extolling their virtues as available, healthful foods. In the list are found dock, the mashed marigold, mercury, black char lock, commonly held as poisonous; chicory, pokeweed, also regarded as a poison; purslane, for which tho farmer inherits his dislike, aud the despised nettle. NOVEL VARIETY OF FOOD. A wonderful reserve fund for the | human appetite is to be found in. the vegetable diet of the Klamath Indians. A novel variety of food forming a menu unknown to the civilized is offered in the pulp of the great yellow water lily, which is converted into a farinaceous food; in the weed known as goosefoot, which bears a black seed that is ground up for loaves and cakes, and in the arrowhead, which in tha fall develops a starchy white tuber at tho end of the roots, not to mention the tubers that resemble beets, tur nips and carrots, the unts that arc ground into "coffee" and the flower leaves that furnish fairy-like desserts. The tamiugof wild fruits is another brauch of the food agent's business. Mr. Augustus Henry, who is authority on Chinese flora, states that thero are at least one hundred varieties of fruits growing wild in the interior of China that if transplauted to another soil and properly cultivated, would prove as important a food supply as our present necessary apple and pear. The Le Conte pear, which has revolu tionized pear growing in Southern California, was originally the Chinese sand pear, grown solely for ornamen tal purposes. WISE WORDS. ' In our neighbor we should observo only what is good. Independence, like honor, is a rocky island without a bench. Gratitude is a feeling in which we may freely indulge without any fear of excess. Thou wilt nlways rejoico in the evening if thou hast spent the day profitably. Be courageous. Be independent. Only remember whore the true cour age aud independence come from. Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to lie loved is the greatest happiness of exist ence. What are the aims which are at tho same time duties? They am the per fecting of ourselves and the happiness of others. Think of the ills from which you are exempt aud it will aid you to bear patiently those which you may now suffer. Few of us gain by tho mistakes of others, but he who fails to profit by his own mistakes will soon be bank rupt in knowledge. Courteßy is the passport to success. We double the power of our life when we add to its gifts unfailing courtesy. The world always begrudges room to a boor. That friendship only is indeed genuine when two friends, without speaking a word to each'other, can nevertheless find happiness in being together. The keenness of lifo in this atmos phere of lovo nnd power is unimagin able to those who have never tasted its sweetness. To experience it fully is to be alivo indeed. It is a perfectly safe proposition that without the thoughtfuluess,which is otherwise named tact, no oue can find the fullest measuro of success and pleasure in life. You cannot think tho buckling on of tho knight's armor by his lady's hand was a mero caprice of romantic fashion. It is the type of an eternal truth—that the soul's armor is never well set to tho heart unless a woman's hand has braced it. The heart that] has passed through the deop waters of tribulation is tho most tender; the voice that has itself cried with pain is the most gentle; the haud that has suffored is tho most soothing mmistraut in the chamber of sorrow. The best sym pathizer is one who has been a par taker in tho same sufferings. An Unlucky ration!. C. E. Brueus, a prominent Turner County cattleman, is the victim of a strange series of accidents. While working around tho railroad cattle pens at Viborg, S. D., he had his foot injured to such au extent as to roudor the use of crutches neoessary in get ting about. A short time afterward, while sitting in the office of a Viborg hotel musiug on his hard luck, an acetylene gas tank in the basement directly under him exploded,throwing him several feet into the air. In fall ing he again injured his damaged foot. Later Dr. Stidworthy attempted to get tho unlucky stockman's mind off his misfortunes by inviting him to ac company him on a drive. Before they had gone very far the horses became frightened aud ran away, breaking the neok-yoke and causing tho pole of the vehicle to drop. Bruons jumped for his life, and again injured his dis abled foot, besideß bruising his limb and shoulder. Mistaken in IIIs Man.

People in tho vicinity of Dresser, Ind., are much disturbed by the presenco of a wildcat, which has killed a score of lambs, calves and hogs. The other night a party of hnnters, with thirty dogs, gave chase to the animal, locating it three miles west of Dresser, and chasing tho ani mal for half a mile from tree to tree. The cat finally descended and killed and crippled twenty dogs, after which it again sought flight and distanced pursuit.

Anybody who heard Senator Allen of Nebraska, deliver his famous fif teen-hour speech against the bill for the repeal of the Sherman silver bill would hardly believe that anything coud stump him. Yet there is an ex perience in the senator's life which shows that, after all, ho Is like unto other mortals, says the Washington Post. "I was campaigning in my state once," said the Benator, "when 1 had occasion to speak at a fair grounds. The grand stand was full, and the occasion seemed to be full ol promise for an orator overflowing aa I was with political gospel. Just as I had commenced a man brought out an ostrich hitched to a sulky. I don't know whether you ever saw the trot ting ostrich in the east, but out west he was a great attraction. Well, as soon as that bird began to run around the track I wasn't in it. The ostrich monopolized the attention of every man, woman and child. When the bird stopped the people listened to me, but when he threw out his long legs again there was a roar of laughter and applause which drowned every word I uttered. Finally, I gave it up. I let the trotting ostrich have everything his own way." Optimistic. From the New York World. —Angel- tne—Do you really think, then, that Mr. Softhead Is Interested In you?

I Don't wait, but take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral just as soon as you begin to cough. A few doses will cure you then. But it cures old colds, too, only it takes a little more time. Wc refer to such diseases as bron chitis, asthma, whooping-cough, I consumption, and hard winter coughs. If you've just taken cold a 25 rent, bot tle is all you'll need.

U. 7 'OO 'ISSSS™ Thompson's Eye Water Save Your Hair with Shampoos of And light dressings of CUTICURA, purest of emollient skin cures. This treatment at once stops falling hair, removes crusts, scales, and dandruff, soothes irritated, itching surfaces, stimulates the hair follicles, supplies the roots with energy and nourishment, and makes the hair grow upon a sweet, wholesome, healthy scalp when all else fails. Millions of Women Use CUTICURA SOAP exclusively for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the. stop ! ping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and healing, red, rough, and sore hands, in the form of baths for annoying irritations and chafmgs, or too free or offensive perspiration, in the form of washes for ulcerative weak nesses, and for many antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves j to women, and especially mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. No amount of persuasion can induce those who have once used it to use any other, especially for preserving and purifying the skin, I scalp, and hair of infants and children. CUTICURA SOAP combines delicate emollient properties derived from CUTICURA, the great skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients, and the most refreshing of flower odors. No other medicated soap ever compounded is to be compared with it for pre serving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands. No other foreign or domestic toilet soap, however expensive, is to be compared with it for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Thus it com bines, in ONE SOAP at ONE PRICE, viz., TWENTY-FIVE CENTS, the BEST skin and complexion soap, the BEST toilet and BEST baby soap in the world. All that has been said of CUTICURA SOAP may bo said with even greater emphasis ; of CUTICURA Ointment, the most delicate, and yet most effective of emollients, and greatest of skin cures. Its uso in connection with CUTICURA SOAP (as per directions around each package), in the " ONE NIGHT OURK FOR SORE HANDS," in the I "INSTANT RELIEF TREATMENT FOR DISFIGURING ITCHINGS AND IRRITATIONS," and in many uses too numerous to mention, is sufficient to prove its superiority over all oth r preparations for the skin. /iiHr.itiipa Com P !e,B eternal and Internal Treatment for every Humor, rn LI 1 pji I 4ft consisting of CUTICURA SOAP (2.
