TIE GARDEN SUPPLY FOR THE TABLE
loo many farmerSneglcct to supply
their own tables with any suitable
variety of vegetables and fruit. BY q
small outlay OF money and labor every
farmer can keep his table supplied with
succession Cf fresh vegetables
through the whole season. Spinach
planted as soon as the weather is suit
able will furnish the finest greens be-
fore other vegetables come on, but if
it had been planted in the fall It
would have come into use in April
under ordinary conditions. Then rad
ishes, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes,
peas, beans, sweet corn, summer,
squashes, beets, melons. and turban
squashes, will furnish a welcome and
wholesome addition TO the farmers
fare throughout The season. If in addi-
ton TO these, there are Il few roots OF
rhubarp, bed of asparagus, bed of
strawberries, and small collection OF
small fruits, a farmer may live in lux

ought to afford, instead Of the tircsome

The true physiological way of treat

Use fresh water. Water which has

bouncing girl, weighing probably
twelve pounds was born near Haley's
station. OF course the arrival of the
little immigrant, under circumstances
so unusual caused considerable excite
ment on the train, and when it was
learned that the mother had passed
safely through, the news was received
with delight by all on board.
The names of the parents of
the little stranger are John and Agate
Byezeck. They are from Osobinica,
province of Galicia, and their destina-
ton is No. so McHenry street, Chicago,
which city they hoped to reach before
e youngster put IN appearance, with
what success has already appeared
The train men were as attentive as the
delicate nature of the case would per-
NIT, and every convenience and COM
fort possible was afforded the mother.
AT Miffiin tempting delicacies were pro-
cured for the mother by Mr.. Nathan
son, and at Cove Forge hot water for
bathing purposes was also furnished,
when to his dismay it was learned that
the newly arrived infant had been treat
ed to bath of ice water, from the cool
er in the car, and when his surprise
was expressed to the attendants they
united in the expression that cold water
would make the baby grow. The
proposition that the mother should be
left on the way was made, but after
consideration she concluded to proceed
on her journey which she did, arriving
at Alta0pa at . o,clo.,ly IN +ba a g. tor,,,.,,,
A certificate of the date and place of
the chiid's birth was given the parents
who wanted to pay for all the kind at
tention shown them, but no one would
accept any remuneration, Mr.. Nathan
son, however asked the privilege of
the little one, which being
granted he called her Clara Eide, after
his wife. When the train left Altoona
both mother and chill were getting
along nicely this is the second event
of the kind which has occurred within
the past few months.

The Little Immigrant

Just after the emlgrant train left
Harrisburg, says an exchange, the
strange actions of a number of the
feminine Polish travellers attracted the
attention of one of the train hands, and
upon investigation he learned that an
interesting event was about to transpire
and lnasmuch as accomonations for
such an occurance were rather limited,
and being unable to understand the
language spoken by the woman, News
Agent Nathanson of Harrisburg was
called upon to act as interpreter. When
1t was learned that another passenger
was about to be added to the already
crowded car, hasty preparations for
the unusual event were made for the
comfort of the mother, and at 9:10
O'Clock while speeding over the rail at
the rate Of twenty FIVE miles an hour,
