Drugstore HumOr,

Drug clerks often derive amusement
from the prescriptions that are left
with them. A prescription which
called for certain tablets, and which
was written by a Chicago physician
was put up in downtown pharmacy
the other day. The directions were as
follows: zone tablet every two hours
for five days, skip four days and com
mence again" The pharmacist smiled
when he wrote the label, and profess
sional etiquette alone prevented him
from asking the customer, who weighed
about $50 pounds, if he thought he
would survive after so much skipping.
Another prescription caused the pa
tient himself to laugh when he read
the doctors directions, which were:
''Take fifteen drops one hour after eat
ing in little water" II don't eat in
water" said the man, ''although l did
chew an apple once when I was bath
ing at Long Branch" Strangely spelt
are often brought to
the druggist. A woman handed a slip
to clerk recently, and said: Gimme
ten cents worth of that" The clerk
read, "Grocer's Supplement. Il guess
you mean corrosive sublimate. " he said,
'but that is poison, and we can't sell
it to you" The woman went away

European Shipmasters to Adopt the Nudge
System for Paying Sailors.
The British board of trade is irving
to extend what is known as the Nudge
system to such continental ports as
Havre, Dunkirk, Rouen, Antwerp, Rot
terdam, Amsterdam and Hamburg. in
order to prevent the systematic rob-
berry of sailors, who often lose the
wages for whole voyages in single
night on shore. Under this Nudge sys-
tenn, says the New York Post, as soon
as ship arrives in port, board of
trade officer, specially appointed for
the purpose, boards her, and after as
certaining how many hands wish to
proceed home without delay, obtains
from the master particulars as to the
wages due and the deductions charge
able to the men. Each seaman, after
vouching for the accuracy of his ac-
count by signing it, receives a
ticket for his destination with a small
advance to defray minor travelling ex-
penses, and leaves for home as soon
as his services can be dispensed with
on board ship. The balance of wages
due to him is forwarded by the board
OF trade officer, and thus his earnings
have a chance of reaching his family
instead of filling the pockets of the
crimps. The superintendent of mer-
camille marine at Gravesend has been
sent to Dunkirk to make the necessary
arrangement for the introduction of
the system, and if successful there
it will be extended to other ports. 1t
is estimated that between 1882 and
1898 British sailors were robbed of
two hundred thousand pounds in Dun
kirk alone.

1t is expected that the building will be
completed and ready for occupancy.
The negotiations which have been
pending for some time have finally
been concluded and nearly all the de-
tails agreed upon. The building will
be paid for with the $75, 900 donated by
Matthew Latin and the $25, 1000 which
the Lincoln Park commissioners added
to the sum. Besides this the park
commissioners agree to keep the build
ing lighted and to pay the salaries of
the curator and his assistants, which
will amount to $1,000 per year. The
control of the building will remain
with the Academy of Sciences. At

The Home.

The home is the most ideal of crea-
tions. II has its pattern on the mount
only beheld by eyes that are clarified
from caprice and wilful indulgence of
the faetious spirit. Nor are it's bless
ings won simply by good things and
good fortune, popularity and smooth
sailing. They are more often by
the holy experience of sorrow, loss
and Christening that has sanctitied a
common, united life and made it
blessed even I'd endure together.
Some peoples lives will be sunny,
whatever betides. They are often
mothers with small means, whose
memory in their children's hearts
makes sacred all the poor chances of
their laborious lives. A sender care,
a sublime patience, followed where
they went. Though they were bowed
with labor, oppressed often with pain
and sickness, not physically strong to
endure, but still enduring, taking the
burdens of others upon their shout
ders, taking the troubles of others into
their ]capaeious hearts, yet they won
sunshine and harmony for the home
by the loving and wise spirit that wa
in them.-Detroit Free Press.

HOW TO MILK.

Il is very important to free the
udder entirely from milk for two rea-
sons. The first is that these ''strip-
pings will dry up the COW in a very
short time. The other is the fact that
n pint of the milk last drawn con-
tains as much butter fat as one quart
of that obtained at the beginning of
the milking. In addition to these
there is the actual loss in the amount
of milk at the time. To show how
considerable this loss is the following
test was recently made: Five COWS
were MIXED for a period of four
weeks by two different persons, both
being competent parties, one of them
doing his average milking and not
aware that an experiment was under
way, the other fully informed as to
the nature of the experiment and ex-
pected to contribute his best skill for
the purpose in view. hi the case Of
the one unaware of the experiment the
yield of milk for the two weeks from
the five cows was S64 pounds. With
no more cows or chance the man who
was posted got 1131 pounds, or 267
pounds more than the other. New

the better the soil the better will be
the beans. Land that will, in a good
season, raise ten bushels of wheat per
acre, will raise ten of beans, and land
that grows twenty of wheat, will yield
as many of beans.

taking care to have our ground well
prepared. With the planter we can
plant the rows thirty, t~hirty-two or
thirty-four inches apart, and from
twelve to thirty inches apart in the
row, planting in hills of from three to
ten beans in a hill. With a riding
swo-horse cultivator we cultivate rom
two to four times, and by September
LIST pull with the puller, which, when
properly handled, will not shell a peck
of beans on ten acres, no matter how
ripe they may be this allows plenty
of time to follow with wheat if wanted

NEW FRUIT PREsERvATIvE,

A mar who has been working ten
years at a new process foApreserving
fruits and vegetables noI offers to
housewives the fruit of his labor. It
is in the form Of a powder which,
added to water, preserves the fruits by
destroying the germ which causes
ferment. By it's use it is claimed that
certain fruits, notably peaches, pre-
serve their natural flavor SO perfectly
that they may be served as fresh
fruits. This mysterious powder has
the fantastic power to turn black ber-
ries white, while it deepens the hues
of some of the l~ight-colored fruits.
When ready to use a jar of the fruit in

syrup is prepared and turned over the

LOSS OF YOUNG TURKEYS.

Young turkeys are difficult to rear
without every convenient provision for
safety from damp and wet. Tt is best
to house them at night in a long, low
shed, divided into apartments, one for
each brood. Here they should be fed
in the morning before they are let out
and in the evening when driven in be-
fore the dews fall. The coops may be
five feet high at the rear and three feet
in the front, with one glazed sash,
hinged, for the door. Entrance will
then be easy to clean the coops and
take in the food. The focks should
be driven up early and then shut in the
yard in which the coops are made.
Exposure to one cold rain will kill
every one of a brood until the red of
the head and neck, which is a sign OF
full puberty, appears. After that they
are not SO tender, but will yet need
care.-New York Times.

PEA VINES AS MANrRE.

When a fall crop is taken after pick

practice to gather the pea vines and
cart them out of the field. They are
often worth more as a fertilizer to be

grow, it will be none the worse for the
future crop. The pea vine is strongly

CULTIVATION or rHn oRcHARp.

The opinion of horticulturists differs
widely on the cultivation that should
be given to the orchard. Some believe
that the best results are obtained when
the grass is allowed to grow in the or
chard, while others recommend shall
low and frequent ~1oosening Of the soil,
while still others favor aldeep blowing
several times during the season. Many
have tried subsoiling before planting
and some continuing it after, and al
though the expense was quite heavy,
they heartily favor that method. Disk
narrowing has been tried in many sec
tions and good results have been re-
ported in the majority OF cases.
Another point on which q difference
OF opinion is expressed is where to
plant the orchard, on the low land
bordering a stream or on the upland.
In the Arkansas Valley, those who raise
fruit for the market select the first
bottom for the orchards. The land
there is well drained and has a good
sub-irrigation. In other parts of the
State orchardists, fully as extensive
growers, avoid planting on the lower
ground, beginning their orchards well
UP the hillside and continuing to the
summit -American Farmer.
