served with fish instead OF potatoes.
Soiled clothes should not DO Above d
to remain in the bedrooms. They faint

Sprained ankle has been cured in an
hour by showeriny with hot water
poured from height of a few feet.
Common washing sofia and boiling
water should be used TO rinse ali the
waste pipes at least once every week
or ten days.
If you are tall woman arrange to
have your workable and ironing
board lew inches higher than they
are usually male. This little precau-
tion will prevent many bockache.
Fuel can be saved on ironing day by
placing over the irons an old tin
bucket or similar vessel bottom side

lined with paper. to handle them with
when heated in this way.
Don't allow the broom to stand on

on a nail by means OF Il ring in the top
of the handle. Don't forget that Il

The easiest way to clean shoes or
rubber over-shoes which have become
muddy is with vaseline. A little
"swab" of flannel on the end OF stick
is good for this purpose. Even II the
vaseliue touches the hands, it forms a
coating over them, so that the tlsk is
not so unpleasant as it otherwise
would be.
Painted furniture can be wiped OF
with little milk and water. and look
bright as new. Bamboo, rattan and

Flax For Fibre.

Whenever Yankees turn their atten.
ton to flax for its fibre we are likely
to make our own linens. Some changes
in the present methods OF growing fax
for seed will be required, but it is a
mistake to suppose that the seed and
fibre may not be valuable from the
same plant. 1t should neither be cut
green nor left till dead ripe. In one
case the seed is immature, and in the
other the fibre is of little value. Flax
must be sown pretty thickly for fibre.
This prevents it from branching, and
makes a straight, thin stalk. Land
must be rich enough to grow flax
thirty inches high, but NV land does
not bring fibre so good as that which
has been some years cultivated. AS II
good deal OF the flax grown in tn Q
West has been sown on raw prairie as
its fret crop. this may explain why at
temptS TO use the fibre have not been
more successful 1t has also been
sown very thinly, partly to economic
seed. but more to have the stalks
branch and produce more grain than
they would growing more closely to-

Running Farm Machinery.

Some men, who are otherwise good
farmers. have constitutional inca
pacity for managing intricate machin-
cry of any kind. More and more the
work OF the farm is done by skill in
the use of implements rather than by
muscle. To some men this work comes
easy and natural. More than one
farmer we have known whose natural
bent was toward mechanical pursuits
rather than towards land cultivation.
Some such never took much interest
in farming until the abundance OF farm
machinery, often intricate, gave OPP
portunity for developing tEeir natural
bent OF mind. Such men should de-
vote themselves wholly to the manage
ment of machinery. by going from
farm TO farm would earn more money
and feel better than they would TO
carry on all kinds OF work on farms of
their own, and the greater part of
which they took no interest in.

LAST DAYS OF THE MooNsHINER.
Uncle Sam Has Nearly EKterminnted the
Mountain Dlstiller.


The rocky Businesses of TennesHee's
mountains were once famous for the
moonshining of their inhabitants.
The business was not of gain by sales
in populous sections.
The mOuntaineer loved the fiery
liquid. Its fragrant. cnticing odor de-
lighted his senses, and its soft and
oily flow tickled his palate. He
had few of the luXurics of this life, and
his chief engagement and pleasure was
to sip the distilled nectarine of his
grain and fruit. Money was little
known to him. Tho price of drink was
fabulous sum and far beyond his
reach. His fathers made their own
store of liquor and he came naturally
by what lie esteemed his right. In
ternal revenue laws forbade his hum
bic still and he was driven to covert re-
treat. there in the solitude to surrcpti-
tiously carry on the conversion of his
grain into mountain dew.
Two, three or more would be Joint
owners of the still. While some fired
the furnaces and tended the crude APP
pliance. others would guard the ave-
nues of approach, and lurking behind
tree or rock keep sharp watch for
the prying marshal.
The noonshiner had no reluctance
in the killing of Il revenue officer. He
was an invader of rights. an enemy of
homes-a spy. Many poor revenue
officer fell victim to the riile-shot OF
Il moonshiner.
Now all is changed. The advance Of
the prospector, the miner. the boomer
has ovcrrun every mountain and pene-
trated every valley. Towns have
sprung up magically in tho depth of
the woodland and before the march of
progress, the mine, the furnace. the
saw-mill. the moonshiner has deserted
his last retreat. and the business has
fallen into the hands Of n different
class of people. Gain alone is the OBJ.
ject. They pandcr TO the vicious ele.
ments of society. and offer no armed
resistance to the revenue officials
they buy them. The old moonShineI
has passed away; he has succumbed to
the inevitable and lives only in fiction.

Emperor williams Royal Cousin.

There is n great deal of sham in all
the show OF affection that has been 90
ing on at Berlin between the Emperor
William and his uncle. the Prince of
Wales. 1t is pretty well known that
the two have an an i'll opinion of ono
another. Wales hates Berlin because
he regards it as vulgarly democratic
town, and he has always looked upon
William as bear AS for the young
Emperor. he has been taught by Bis
marck TO regard England as Il non.
sensical little patch, wholly unworthy
of consideration. aud he has been
heard TO remark that the Prince of
Wales was simply petit-maitre and 4
naneur."
Wales was accompanied to Berlin by
his second son, Prince George. After
they had been there two DAYS the sou
broke out suddenly one day with: "Fa-
Their. have you seca a pretty girl since
you came here?"
That's curious question. replied
Wales. How came you to ask it?"
We'll. faHced you'd be on the
lookout" said George, "and l wish
you'd tell me il you see one. for I've
got tired of hunting for them. Your
Judgment in that direction is good
enough for me-"
The Prince of Wales speaks German
very 1uently, but this is hardly to be
wondered at, since up to the time he
was u years old German was the lam
guage spoken almost exclusively in the
royal nursery ut Windsor Castle.

Among The Deprayed.

There are some curious things in this

Gently. Curious things among the

duct the funeral of fallen woman,
and ever after he will he called to at

same class of woman. Let II minister
otiiciate ut the funeral of sporting
man. and the same minister will be
called again and again to do the
same service. no matter what he may
have said ut previous funerals. Not
many years ago popular and promi-
nent minister was called tO olliciate Mt
the funeral of sport. There was a
very large attendance of his fraternity.

cason in his remarks to inject some

Turning Weed seeds

A low, smouldering fire that comes
from burning half-dried weeds is
scarcely ever hot enough to destroy
the germin ting power OF their seeds.
Every particle must be consumed, OF
some OF the seeds will escape. In Il
pile of weeds there is usually carbonic
acid gas at the bottom OF the heap when
burning. As the heat expands the
coverings OF the seeds they fall out and
drop down into this stratum OF air
where no combustion is possible. As
heat rises instead OF falls, the seeds are
not even destroyed by heat. This en-
plains why so many weeds come up on
places where the burning Of weeds the
year before had been thought COM
nlete.

DAUGHTERS.
How Many OF Them DO Their Whole Duty
to the Mother?

II all that mothers are to them came
home to the perceptions of daughters
at an earlier period, says Harper.
Bazaar. they would be more anxiou,
than they generally seem to be to spar
those mothers, to prolong their days,
and save them from much of the exer
ton and anxiety that are liable to
shorten their lives and that if only
from merely selfish reasons. How
many daughters are there who. it lies
between them 10 do it, do not let their
mothers rise in the morning and make
the fire and prepare the breakfast; who
in the interim between cooks do not
let the whole burden of care and the
chief endeavor of work come upon the
mother; who do not let the mother get
up in the night and attend TO the calls
of sudden ills; who. il it is necessary
TO watch with the sick. do not hold
themselves excused. and the duty to be
maternal one; who do not feel it their
privilege to be ready for callers and
company while the mother is still in
working dishabille; who are not in the
habit of taking the most comfortable
chair; and who, in the matter of pro-
vision of toilet do not think almost
anything will do for mother, but they
themselves must be fresh and fine and
in the fashion? How many daughters
are there who. when pleasure taking
comes in question, do not feel, even
perhaps unconsciously.t that the mother
has had her day and ought to he con-
tented, and they should be the ones to
go and take the enjoyment? 1t would
seem as if the mere sentiment of self.
preservation would teach daughters a
better line of conduct. IL is the mother
making the central spot of the house
usually that makes home possible. 1t
is the mother from whom the greater
part of the happiness of the home pro-
cceds. If she dies the home disinte-
CRATES, or it is not unusual that another
comes in TO take her place--a foreign
and alien element, before whom the
old union and happiness may possibly
fly. To preserve tins home and this
happiness, one would imagine, should
be the first effort of the daughter that
she should, out of regard for her own
comfort and qualification, as well as
for that of others. seek every means to
make life easy for the mother to in
sure her health and length of days.
Never again will any daughter have
such friend rs this mother; no fond
edorer's eyes will ever follow her with
the same disinterestcd love rs this
mothers eyes do, nor will any give her
the sympathy she does. 1t is wild folly
on the daughters part that lets the
mother waste her strength instead of
seeking by every means possible to
save and increase II; for while Il good
mother is with her family they are en-
tertaining an angel, whether unaware
or not.

Scattering Mhsnt.

There is less scattering wheat by
new methods of harvesting. as the self
binder leaves few heads, and unless
the grain is overripe does not thresh
it in binding. This tends TO decrease
the Hessian Fly which always breeds
in scattering wheat, that generally
comes up weeks before the time for
sowing the seed. If wheat follows
wheat this scattering grain must be
suppressed. or that fly will breed in il
and destroy the crop.

Ions OF the germs. Cheese As days
old has been found 20 contain as many
as sixty six millions OF these germs tc

long been suspected. that the curing OF
cheese is due TO the effects upon it OF
actively growing organisms.
Good feeding, regularity OF feed
ing, and care TO give water only be-
fore feeding, will avoid most OF the
disorders to which horses are subjec,
at this season. Regularity applies not
only to times. but quantity and kind
OF feed. Too much and then too little
feed is injurious. Green food should
always be given fresh and free from
vet. and never when in a state OF fer
mentation. The frequent collie OF
horses is always caused by injudicious
feeding.
