An Extraordinary and Beautiful VARIETY

In the vast forests of New South

Who should Bow First.

New York society, so it is written, has
decided that when q gentleman and
lady meet on the street, the enc who
first sees the other should bow. The
old rule, that the gentleman should
wait for the recognition of the lady, is
declared obsolete. The lady still re-
tains the privilege of not noticing the
gentleman if she feels so inclined, that
is, after he has taken off his hat, she may
cut him if she wants to. Well, per-
haps it is the best plan. Under the old
usage the gentleman could never be sat-
isfied when lady passed him without
recognition whether she intended cut
or merely did not see him. BY the inn
provement he will be left in no sort Of
doubt. The Housekeeper. taj

About Setting Hens.

There will surely he trouble with a
setting hen If other fowls are per-
mitted to lay in her nest. There
will be objections on the part of the
breeding hen for which she is not to
be blamed. And in the struggle it is
certain that some eggs will be broken,
when it is probable that one of the
hens will eat the broken eggs. The
setting hen will he apt to leave the
nest when it is occupied by the in
truder, and she may not return, when
the eggs may cool and the chicks
either die In the shell or soon after
they emerge, from weakness. The
only satisfactory way is to have a
separate place for the brooding hens
and to keep each one in a separate
pen, from which she cannot get out,
and to feed and water her in 1t. The
pen should be three by two feet, Civ
ing the hen room to stretch her legs
when she comes off to feed. The
next box should be low and be we'll
soaked with kerosene when 1t is pre-
pared for use. This will insure free
dom from lice to the hen and save a
world of trouble and disappointment
and consequent Ycxation.

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.

Regard must be had to the proper
growing and handling Of sweet po-
tatoes in order to insure success in
their keeping. They should be grown
on soil suited to them, and early
enough to fully mature in season, and
when harvested handled without
bruising. They should be planted early
enough to mature before frost for
tubers of frost bitten vines are doubt
full keepers. Dig them when the
ground is dry, IL possible, that they
may be dry and clean. Then lay
them in a dark, cool room, or at once
store Them away in a frost-proof Gel
lar OF stOrehouse. The best manner
to store them here is to put them IN
broad, shallow boxes Shelves will do).
These may be placed one above an
other with a small space between
them to give better ventilation. A
light covering of dry sand or earth,
will add something to their preserva-
ton, as il will serve to keep the po-
tatoes at a more uniform tempera-
ture, and absorb the moisture arising
from them. The place of storage
should he dry aud have a uniform
temperature, and that at about 35 or
40 degrees. Potatoes which have
fully matured are thus stored in shall
low layers. and kept fairly above frost
and moisture will seldom fail TO keep
well.

exercised on this point. The best

An Historic spot which. will Soon Ne
Thing Of the Past.


Thing Of the Past
The historic Blennerhassett Island
In the Ohio River is gradually being
washed away, and lately the water
has found a channel through the cen.
ter, which is rapidly aiding the work
OF destruction. 1t will soon be
thing OF the past 90.
Perhaps no spot along the Ohio has
such an interesting history as Blen-
nerhassett's Island. It's lore is that
OF the nation itself. 1t was here
that Aaron Burr's treachery was
practically checked, and the triumph
of that event is mellowed by the sad
ness of the fall of poor old Blenner-
hassett--the dupe Of Burr. Over a
century ago this gentleman settled
on the island, building himself a de-
lightful residence, and ever afterward
dispensing most elegant hospitality.
Here IL was that Aaron Burr inter
ested him in bis scheme for seizing
Mexico, where;. In case OF success,
Burr waste be Emperor. Theodosia
Aston, Burr's daughter, was TO be
empress, and Blennerhassett was to
receive the title OF Duke and appoint:
ment as Ambassador TO England.
Blennerhassett expended large sums
in fitting out an expedition, and,
though discouraged when he learned
OF Burr's real designs, the intriguer
had such influence with Blennerhas-
sett's wife that the old man still adj
hered to him. After becoming thor
oughly interested In Burr's visionary
enterprise, Blennerhassett took him
over TO the town of Marietta, Ohio,
for the purpose OF purchasing supplies
for the voyage. Provisions swere
bought and orders given for building
fifteen boats. Further work. was in.
terrupted in December, 1906, by the
militia, who, discovering Burr's plans,
took possession of the boats. The
days following were lively times on
Blennerhassett's Island, Burr and
Blennerhassett both having to &c
heavily armed to protect themselves
against suspicious citizens. When,
later on, they fled to Cincinnati and
the South, Mrs. Blennerhassett show
ed her loyalty to her husband by
sending her trustworth servant, Peter
Taylor, after the old gentleman to
bring him back.
Blennerhassett was arrested in 1907
and held for trial as traitor, but
| Burr's acquittal set all suspected peo-
pie free. His beautiful island and
home had been sacrificed to creditors,
} and, he went to Natchez bankrupt.
He undertook a cotton plantation,
but the war with England ruined
commerce and he then removed &c
Montreal, where he practiced law. In
1922 he went to Ireland, but here he
failed TO secure certain property, anG
continued to fail in every project he
undertook. In the last years OF his
life he was supported by his sister,
who had left small estate to his
wife and children

A Remarkable Apple Tree.

According to report of the Ocm-
mittee on Fruits at the State Fair
meeting of the Ohio Horticultural
Society, Mr.. Pierce of Miami County,
presented an apple grown upon the
sole surviving tree of one OF the
earliest orchards planted in that
county, the tree being now about two
feet in diameter, and still vigorous
and very productive. Tt is supposed
to be upward OF eighty years. The
specimens were large, OF very bright
crimson color with numerous small
white spots; very smooth and attrac-
tive in appearance. 1t was stated
that the first specimens began to
ripen in July, at which time there
would be many apples not larxer than
hickory nuts on the tree, which would
ripen in succession until picking time,
in the fall, when there would be quite
a proportion which would keep till
January. Some Of the specimens
shown were fully ripe, while Others
were quite green. The quality was
so poor that the majority Of the COM
mittee would not recommend IL for
propagation, but its size and beauty
were such that it would doubtless
meet ready sale.

SOME breeders claim that early
lambs grow faster, are healthier, and
make larger sheep than late ones.

food cleaner than horses or cattle.

Four OF these pens are on each side,
and one swili trough, eight feet long,

may be rooted into them can be easily
cleaned out, aud the pigs can also
