Swanberg Was Roasted,

Charles H. Swanberg appeared before
Judge Hooker yesterday and asked to
have his wife, who is suing him for di-
vorce, ordered to turn their nine
months-old baby over to him. Swan
berg said his wife was a drunkard, but
Judge Hooker evidently did not believe
it, for he refused the request. The
court took occasion to score Swanberg
rather severely,

MIRACULOUS CURE,
A Georgia Woman's Faith Made
Her Whole.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb. 2O.-Eighteen
months ago Miss Emma Evans was
thrown from carriage while driving
near Perry's mill, in Tattnall county.
Two of her ribs were broken and her
spine was so badly injured that the doc
tor pronounced her case incurable. To-
day Miss Evans, who has all her life
been very devout, was silently praying
that her health might be restored, when
strange sensation came over her. So
strong was her faith that she essayed to
rise, and finding herself able to do so
walked about the room, to the amaze
ment of her relatives.

The Summer boarder is becoming a
 new product of deserted New England
 farms. The more remote and retired the
 farm, the more desirable it proves to be
 to a certain class of Summer boarders-
 the lovers of Nature, yet not the de-
 spisers of human nature, even when in-
 closed in the persons of farmer and wife
 who take boarders. It is not every man
 who can afford to have a country place
 for his family, but all through New Eng
 land and in parts of New York State,
 farms from which the boys have fled,
 but to which the girls through fear or choice still cling, may be found, verita- ble "Squirrel Inns," established not by the proprietors' but by the boarders' choice, places that can be secured to the exclusion of other Summer boarders if the family is willing to pay for their ex- clusion. Ice cream and ices and many of the so called necessities of life must be surrendered, but much that makes for righteousness, born of plain living and high thinking while living close to Ma ture, will be secured. The Summer boarder who pays $8 week and expects $4 day accommodations is as doomed to disappointment as the boarding house keeper who expects to succeed when she gives $1 day accommodations while charging $2 a day.

The wonderful ''walled lake" in Wright
 county, Iowa, occupies ground surface
 of 2S00 acres and it's entire surface is from
 4 to 10 feet higher than any point of land
 in the immediate vicinity, the waters be-
 ing kept in bounds by an immense natu-
 ral or artificial stone wall, composed of
 powders estimated to weigh from 100
 pounds up to three tons each. In some
 places, where two or three of the larger
 stones lie close together, the interstices are chinked with smaller powders so evenly and in such a workmanlike man. ner as to preclude all idea of it's being the work of other than intelligent beings. Originally the wall was from 10 to 15 feet in height, very broad at the bottom and tapering up to an average of four feet at the top. Some scientists argue that the wall is the result of consecutive freezing of the waters of the lake-that the action of the ice on the sides of the embankment forced the stones into their present position. Those who take this view of the matter have failed to notice that, although there is plenty of stone in Wright county, there is absolutely none within radius of 10 miles of the lake. Those who believe the work to have been done by prehistoric man claim that at one time the vicinity of the lake was strewn with powders Gas is most of northern Iowa, having been one of the regions that was covered with the debris of the glacial age), but that they were all gathered up by the busy beings of long ago and fashioned into the wall which causes so much amazement in the of today.

China evidently does not intend to sub init without active resistance to the az gressions of Russia and is now taking action in central Asia which may be of momentous consequence. Russia has for some time past claimed the whole of that immense table land which serves as common ground between the three Elm pires of Russia, China and India and which is sometimes known as the ''roof of the world" Russia also claimed control of the passes from Turkistan into the valleys of the Indus and the Tarim. This claim, however, was so vigorously met by England that the Russians retired from the Afghan territory, holding on, however, to the Chinese section. The Chinese protested with equal vigor, but their protest has remained until this time unheeded and in consequence they have abandoned the war of words and taken up the more effective line of military re- sistance. A Chinese army has been sent to strengthen the defences of Kashgar and Yarkand and to proceed thence to the territory which the Russians are now holding, or claiming to hold. When they arrive, the Russian and Chinese forces will be face to face.-[ Christian Union.

The Horses had Brains.

Down street the other day ,there was a big truck loaded with boxes stalled across the street car track. The driver of the truck was shouting and flashing his horses and, after two or three attempts to move the load, they gave up in des- pair. The driver of the car was an old man and, after watching things for a few minutes, he stepped down and ap- preached the truckman and queried, Did you ever see a horses head dis sected?''

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

No FARMER can afford to buy manure
until he has first made use of every
pound produced at home.
Look sharply to see that no sour food
is given to the chicks, unless it be milk.
Meal mixed with water or milk soon
sours and is not wholesome food for
chickens. They may live on such treat,
ment, but they cannot thrive, and this
rapid growth is what pays.
MATURE animals are best for breed.
ing purposes Many herds or fiocks
have deteriorated because of the an.
nual selection of young and immature
animals for breeding. An animal that
is not fully matured is lacking in vigor
and its offspring will inherit many OF
its defects. ..
The copper solutions If taken in time
will keep in check the anthracnose OF
the raspberry. They will not prevent
the development of the disease in new
canes in diseased plants. If the disease
becomes troublesome new plantation
should be made, using plants free from
contagion.
NEVER be deceived and feed your
hens because they run after you every
time you appear, as it is due to edu-
cation you have given them, being
only habit. Make them work. An
idle, lazy hen will not lay eggs. When
you notice hen scratching and forag-
ing you will find an egg in her nest
AN exchange says: "A man of genius
may find a profit in sheep, no matter
what the competition may be. The way
to compete is to compete so the other
fellow is not in your way. Sell what
he can't raise-at least does not-and
sell when he has nothing to sell. This
is business, not theory"
JF there are any ewes in the flock
that are too old to be of service the
best time to sell them is in early fall,
when they will be in as good condition
as they will reach. When aged the
ewes require more grain in the winter
to make them fat than they are worth.
Keep the grain for the use of more
profitable and younger stock.

The True Hostess.

She indeed is the truest hostess who
makes her guests feel most at their
ease, who, in the plain old Saxon, can
make them at home. The opening of
dusty shut-up parlors, which smell OF
moth-eaten carpets, the parade of the
best china on the table with trembling
care lest piece be broken, the setting
forth Of so Ella borate a menu that it
tends to gluttony. will never make our
friends '"at home. ~ If our ~parlors are
always open and we have no bric-a-
brac too, fragile to be, admired by
s as 'f house tS'4ii too y good 3D. for
our own living to be made
use of whenever necessary, if in short
we sacrifice entirely that gloomy
isepulchral room, which is still ain
tanned il many old families 1.-THE state
parlor-we shall live much more ma
tural, easy livesA We can then receive
our friends into the living room, make
them at home to the best that we have
for ourselves, and we may always be
satisfied that it wilt please themsbetter
than any effort Of strained hospitality.
She learns 10 be true hostess, who
gives her guests their freedom, ever
watchful of their, wants, yet never al
lowing them to be aware Of that watch
fulness.- y N. Y. Tribune va
