mothers.
Put the manure where it will do the
most good.
Rotation of crops should be studied
and practiced.
The sugar beet is valuable adjunct
to dairy foods.

ly looked after

of mangel wurtzel.
Lack of green grass will make the
yolk of the egg light-colored.
Good layers should not be allowed
to get very hungry or very fat.
Spraying with Bordeaux mixture
will destroy the tent caterpillar.
The Parker Earle is a good variety
of strawberry for general culture.
For Matching purposes eggs from old
hens are better than those from pul-
let's
The milking should be done as rap

the best and most economical kinds of
feed.
Much attention is now being paid
to improvement in the breeding of
sheep.
Spraying with fungicides and in
secticides has become matter of ne
ccssity.
The Polaris is a good all-round po-
tato. 1t is early, yields well, keeps

The Water Was Rather Cold.

The ocean water north of Cape Cod
is much colder than the water south of
it, for the cape seems to turn branch
of the warm Gulf Stream out to sea.

went to a secluded spot, not far from
Bar Harbor, for bath on warm day

To DANISH DUST.

At least every fortnight walls and
cornices, the tops of windows and doors
should have their entire surfaces gone
over with clean broom encased in a
bag of cotton flannel. Pinning cloth
about the broom is an unsatisfactory
makeshift, besides which the fuzzy nap
of the cloth catches and retains the
dust better than old muslin, and does
not force it to fly about the room only
to settle somewhere else, as is the case
when the work is done with feather
duster.
Don't let your love of the beautiful
tempt You to the use of colored flannel,
because you want to see when it is dirty
in order to send it to the wash. Three
of these bags will not be too many, as
broom covered with one is the best
means for removing the dust each
morning from polished or stained
floors.

PROPER WAY TO COOK POTATOES

The Irish have very particular way
of cooking potatoes. They never boil
them. A large pot is always on the
fire, a steady, slow fire, and on every
occasion when the contents come to the
very verge of boiling, cold water is
dashed in and the operation is, in Irish
phraseology, "backed." The process
is continually repeated till the potatoes
are cooked. You get by this means an
admirable potato New York World.

was told by celebrated physician that
one step in the direction of securing
good health was to walk, for half an

Despite all that has been said 10

with the happy faculty of laying aside

SHE BELIEVES IN REST.
Hetty Green Takes Refuge in the Quiet
of Far Rockdway.

To escape from the maddening crowd,
to seek rest from the excitement and
worry of Wall street and from the
stories of financial wreck and ruin,
Mrs. Henrietta Green-known the
world over as 'Hetty" Green, the
richest woman and most daring specu-
lator of the age-has sought the quiet
of Far Rockaway, says the New York
World.
Mrs. Green has a country home in
Vermont and another in Massachu-
sets. To look after her vast interests
it is necessary, however, for her to
be daily at her office. A trip to either
one of her handsome homes for they
are handsome-would require too much
time
Those who know Mrs. Green are well
aware Of the fact that whatever she
attempts she does thoroughly. It is
so with her resting. She is a great be-
lever in sleep, and plenty of it, as the
best remedy for nerves overtaxed with
excitement and worry. Two or three
days at a time are all allowed for her
vacation. During this time she rests
first, last and all the time. She re-
tires early, but does not sleep as late
in the morning, by any means, as do
most of the other guests at the Ocean
House. After breakfast she sits on
the piazza enjoying the salt-laden

The BOnapartes have been summer
visitors in Newport for more than a
decade, and there they moved in the
highest social circles, being guests at
every prominent dinner and at every
social entertainment given. Colonel
Bonaparte was in love with the place
and he took deep interest in all mat

early in the season and tarried late.
He was a stakeholder of the Newport
casino and took especial pains to do
his part toward entertaining prominent
French visitors careful of course, not
to appear prominent when the visitors
were supposed to be antagonistic to
the Bonapartist branch of the family
which he so creditably represented.

be the ruler of France.

BOTANICAL CURIOSITY IN THE
ORIENT.

The Malayan peninsula is the home
of an extraordinary botanial curiosity
in the shape of a flower, which is sim
ply a blossom without leaves, vine or
stem, and which grows as a parasite
on decaying wood, etc. 1t is known to
the natives by name equivalent to a
''wonder-wonder" This extraordinary
fiowerlike growth is sometimes as
much as three feet in diameter, with
a globular central cup having a capaci-
ty of about five to seven quarts. This
cup distills fetid liquid with an odor
similar to that of decaying meat,
Botanists believe the odor is calculated
to attract flies and secure proper fer
tiIiZation.

A GOOD IDEA.
Found in a Woman's Talk on the Ser
want Question.

They were all sitting around in that
comfortable after-luncheon style that
, every woman recognizes and appreci-
ates, and though conversation had here
tofore been of a desultory and decided
ly sleepy turn, it all at once took a
sudden vigorous squirt when Mrs. Young
Housekeeper broke forth with the re-
mark: Housekeeping would be per-
fectly blissful if you could only do
away with the necessity for servants
or find jewel that appeared to take
some sort of interest in things instead
of acting as though serving a term
in prison" The pretty blonde hostess
gave sigh as she added. THAT is
true; servants are the bane of our
existence. In six weeks / have had as
many cooks, every one worse than the
last, until I am about discoura ged. =
Il have a good girl smiled the quiet
one with just a wee bit of triumph ir
her tone, ''but I never can make her
understand the necessity Of hurrying
She lOiterS over her work until I go
nearly frantic, and when I demonstrate
she calmly meets my Impotence with
the argument that if she were to hurry
what would she do when she had fin
ished. t might as well go slow with
my work or I'd get lonely sitting in
the kitchen with nothing to do she
will say; and / can never make her
realize what a lot of sewing or good
reading she could accomplish if she
would only get her work over in the
forenoon, as I do when [ am alone"
IT WISH" said the hostess, chat
girls would appreciate how much better
off they would be in our homes than
in factories or stores. Wouldn't it be
just glorious if there were training
schools where housekeeping in all it's
branches were taught and we could be
sure Of help that was competent and
yet refined? Do you know I believe
if necessity ever compels me to work
I will hire out as a cook or waitress
and just show how perfect such beings
can be. I wouldn't have to be one whit
less lady-like and [ would soon make
myself invaluable
Good gracious, Kitty, what horribly
radical views" came in full volume
from the listeners. "And yet" they
added, ''why shouldn't refinement be
as much a part of our cooks as care
leS<ness and an inclina ton to drink 2"

and that if any persons under II years
of age are found on the streets after
that hour they shall be locked up. I'm
less the parents can give a satisfac-
tory explanation, (they (the parents) are
to be fined, imprisoned or compelled to
send their children to a pubic institu-
ton where they will be cared for until
the authorities shall see fit to let them
out. The act is said to be meeting
