There Is good story told OF tho
late archbishop of Dublin. DR. Trench.
says the Dublin Times. In his latter
years the good archbishop had the
idea that he was suffering from In
clpicnt paralysis. and was always
fancying that he detected more or less
Of a dumbness In his limbs. On one
occasion he was at a dinner party,
and il was noticed that he was quite
Silent for while and looked grave.
At the Same time Il was observed that
the lady at his right-hand side was
b.nshing deeply. At last his grace

FRENCH PEPPER BOXES.
One Arrangement In which the French
Are Away Ahead.

People who object TO French ra-

might be made palatablo whom hidden
by sauces with foreign names. says the
New York Herald. claims that much
CT the devotion paid TO French cooking
comes by way OF habit.
However that may be. IL is n fact
that certain things provided at a
French table d'hote are found nowhere
else. For instance. above all things
the French appreciate freshness In
their spices.
Take as an example the pepper in
an American restaurant There you
will find IL In tho caster. and you VIII
shake II out through the little holes OF
a bottle, which may have contained IL
for week past Perhaps originally
it was real pepper but none the less.

make such on evaporation OF the
strength OF their pepper impossible.
At least such Is the fact in most OF
their restaurants There you will DO

most impossible looking little box.
from which you try in vain 10 extract
anything.
Very soon you feel that you are APP
pearing at disadvantage, and you
make believe you do not care for any
pepper anyway.
Tho little box which the waiter had
handed you probably had diminutivc
handle on the top like that attached
TO hand organ. You should have
seized that handle and turned II from
right TO left In an entirely confident
and self-satished manner
The fact is that the French, instead
OF pulverizing their pepper and put
ting IL In box or bottle to lose its
strength. place it in neat little box

lsce housewife CRATES her nntmegs.
The next time you have one OF these
mysterious pepper boxes put into
your hands in - French restaurant say
nothing and turn the crank and YOU
will get the pepper pure and fresh.

rxDerimenis ror FARMERS.

There are number OF simple ex-
periments which might be easily per-
formed by farmers. the results OF which
would throw more light on their diff
ferent operations and occasionally cor
rect some mistakes into which they
frequently fall Take for instance the
common opinion that the growth OF

ture and to prevent it drying in the
suns rays. The experiment may be
tried by selecting piece OF grass sod

During some OF the hottest days In
summer examine tho soil few inches

found that the soil where the grass

out OF the ground Is drier than the bare
mellow earth where tho evaporation
has been much slower. Opportunities
sometimes occur in farmers gardens

Whenever farming has progressed
beyond the first stage OF clearing new
land a rotation OF crops Is found neces-
sary. The new settler has enough to
do putting up buildings and making
necessary fences 10 protect his crops
10 occupy spare time. II Is an adyan-
tage 10 him II his crops require his
labor only short timc each year. TO
sow or plant and 10 harvest But
there is no farming country In the
world where men can live as men
should, merely by working two or
three weeks In year. So the one
crop has TO give way 10 variety. fur
nishing employment through as large
"a part OF the year ~ possible.
Equally important 10 the soil itself
Is the rotation OF crops proposed. Con-
tinuous cropping with any kind OF
grain or hoed crop exausfs the soil OF
the elements OF plant food which that
crop requires Land that Is left UNI
seeded is wasted In winter by floods
that are the more destructive when
forests are cleared away and the bare
ness of the surface enables the frost
TO penetrate more deeply. BY this
time too the natural water courses
made by decay OF tree roots in the
soil are closed up. This obllges the
water that used 10 sink in the subsoil
20 run OF on the surface A few years
OF cropping. which leaves the land
naked in winter carries into creeks
and rivers the larger part OF its avail
able plant food IL takes all that is
soluble. and what cannot be thus car
ried of is only slowly put into con-
dition for plants TO Use.
IL Is this winter waste OF naked land
that makes II SO important and even
necessary TO keep the surface seeded
rs much as possible. Time was when
grass either in pasture or hay was the
main source OF the manure the farm
er used. Now thousands Of farmers
have learned that they can make far
more barnyard manure from corn fod-
der than they can from hay grown on
twice the amount of land. Yet so
great is the advantage OF clover that
even under this disability IL is likely
always 10 be sown. While 10 lasts IL
keeps the land covered in winter.
After IL Is gone II makes iirst-rate
seed bed for corn.
Out of these facts some farmers OF
our acquaintance think thoy have
learned an improved solution. TAX
ing a clover sod as the starting point
they pillow and drill in corn. This Is
sown after the corn is of. or after the
last cultivation with rye merely TO
keep the land partly covered. In the
spring rye is plowed and the land
sown with either oats or barley and
seeded with clover. The next season
the clover is allowed 20 get nearly i'm
TO bloom. when IL Is plowed and fol-
lowed with corn or potatoes again.
Land thus treated keeps in good heart
with the manure made from feeding
the corn crop. II is plan adopted by
farmers who cultivate only few acres.
and combine milk selling with fruit
growing and the selling of market
vegetables. II the cows are fed all
the corn fodder they can eat it great
