The Borrowing Habit.

A certain amiable young housewife
who presides over a comfortable suite
of apartments in Harlem is convinced
that there is such a thing as being
too nelghborly. Her neighbors on the
floor above convinced her. When the
aforesaid neIghbors moved into the
building the first of last May. this
amiable housewife considerably sent
her neatly aproned domestic upstairs
to inquire if there was anything that
she could do to add to the comfort of
the new corners. Down came
prompt request for the loan of ham,
mer and a stewpan. When the stew
pan was returned it was cracked, but
that fact did not deter 1.-THE neigh
bors' from asking for a bar Of soap
and a few matches. The latter ar
ticle they forgot to return, but they
kept up the borrowing habit steadily,
and did not get real out-and-out re-
buff until last week, when the young
daughter of ''the Eeighbors' family
came to the amiable housewives door.
and after stating that her mother had
unexpected guests to dinner. begged
the loan of pie for dessert. "You

In Her Ninetieth Year

Ralph Waldo Emerson's widow is in her
ninetieth year. She lives with her unmar-
ried daughter, Miss Ellen, in her old home
stead at Concord. She sees no visitors, reads
nothing and apparently feels no interest in
the outside world. She took charge of the
philosophers worldly affairs, attended to his
copyright and his finances. So well did she
manage that he left an estate of over $780,
900. She is a fine example of New England
thrift. Many elderly persons lose what
ought to be the best part of their lives, that
period which they could devote to reflection
and study, by neglecting the little precau-
tons that they should take in order to pre-
serve their health. They allow colds to lin
ger until it harnesses and embitters their
nights. If they would take Reds German
Cough & Kidney Cure, they would find that
this great remedy acts as stlmulant to their
entire 81 stem. It incites the kidneys to
action, restores the circulation, relieves the
congested blood vessels in the lungs and re-
invigorates the whole system. The small

Dear Mr.. Delsartel
Since you've taught us that art
Must replace Mother Natures Injunction

About walking and breathing and posing
Other hints that viii make
All our doings partake
OF or ace more perfection disclosing
We'd be taught. If you please,
How to gracefully sneeze.
How to snore in a metrical manner
How to get out of bed,
How to drop when we tread

How to hiccough with ease,

30 Waste ot Steam.

British papers state that an en-
gineer living in Glasgow has lately
completed, after nineteen years ex-
perimenting, a device for steam en-
gines by which all steam is returned
back to the boiler after doing its work
in the cylinders In several cases, it
is said. he has installed his engine
and it IS at work with extraordinary
results In one case, in a textile
factory. the engine with his device is
doing as much work with one ton OF
coal as it formerly did with ten tons
The problem of how to make use Of
the vast amount Of steam everywhere
blown of into the air after doing GER
tain work has long occupied en-
gineers. and its thorough solution
would be worth many millions of dol
lars, in many ways.

Marie gave the required promise,

a very grave sin.
There were several people in the
church now waiting for the service at

ONE way to make the farm more
profitable is to grow and sell such
crops as will least. deplete its fertili-
ty. Plant food removed from the
soil must be restored again in some
manner if production is to be kept
up, and if the crop which absorbed
it is sold away from the farm this
may prove a pretty expensive thing
to do. AS showing the proportion
ate exhaustion Of the soil by differ
ent crops, it may be. stated that a
ton Of hay takes away eighty-fve
times as much fertility as a ton Of
butter. The value of the two is al
so in diverse proportion, as the hay
may sell for $40 and the butter for
$500. A grass farm-the. grass be-
ing sold-will grow poor unless ex-
traordinary methods are taken to
prevent it, The dairy farm must
grow richer unless the grossest care
lessness is observed. A dairy farm
growing poorer is striking proof OF
the incompetency OF the farmer.

THE loss entitled upon the farm.
ers and all others in the United
States by bad roads is immense
Prof Ely estimates it at $500 for
each horse, ard another writer at
$500 for each horse, every year.
All suffer, socially, economically,
industrially. But land owners sui
fer directly. Good roads increase
land values. Land is worth mil
lion dollars an acre In New York
city because practically all the roads
in this country end there. With
the straight tax good roads will
come. Placing the load on the
back OF the horse where it belongs
enables him to move rapidly. Plac-
ing the burden Of good roads on
lard owners will cause steady pro-
gress. Macadam roads will be as
common as fences-for the same
reason, .self-interest will demand
them.

AGRICULTURAL.
COTTON.

COIIONs
The most important point IN har-
vesting crop of cotton is to get it
into the gin house, or barn, quick as
possible. A cotton boil is ready for
the pioker's fingers the next day af-
ter it is fully opened, and every day
that it remains exposed, even to orr
binary sunshine and dew, lessons its
market value; while every days
delay increases the risk of serious
damage to the value Of. the staple
from rain and wind storms, and
damp, cold weather. OF course,
there are other operations on the
farm that require attention in due
season, and among the most impor-
tant is the sowing Of grain, of which
we have just. been writing, and
gathering sweet potatoes and peas.
But by all means push the cotton
harvest; don't defer having extra
help to pick by the hundred, until
the fields are white. Two hundred
pounds, open, to the acre, makes a
good show, and is more than thick
enough TO enable an expert worker
| to do maximum days work.
1t is very we'll to gather cotton as
clean of trash as practicable, but
don't be so particular as to seriously
reduce the daily harvest. One big
rain and windstorm will damage ard
destroy, together, greatly more Of
value than much trash adhering to
otherwise bright and unstaineo cot
ton. The trash, or leaf, will rare
-ly OF itself, affect the market value
more than a small fraction of a cent;
while rainstorm not unfrequently
reduces the value one or more cents
per pound, besides the actual, or
waste, in quantity.s
Just as soon is dry enough to
keep iii the crib-in the shuck, it
should be gathered and housed
There is nothing gained by permit
ting it to remain in the field, unless
the cotton is thickly open and de-
handing attention, and it is liable
to deterioration-to rotting, insects
ard stealage.
So also of peas. Gather all you
can. You can hardly afford to le'
the cattle and hogs eat and destroy
all the peas and pay s1.25 bushe
for seed next summer.
But don't stint the hogs. LIE
