Loss of Teeth Affects Length of Life
The loss of the masticating teeth be-

eEED OF cAuL1F1owEa.

II is not advisable to attempt to
grow caulifower seed in any part Of
this continent, unless it may be on the
Western coast, where the climate is
more favorable to this business. The
best cabbage seed grown in any part
of America is produced in the Wash
ington and Puget Sound region, and
nowhere else has any success been met
with, and this seed is more easily
grown of first quality than that of the
caulihower. All the seed sold by seeds
men is imported from Holland and
parts of Northern Germany. The chief
source of it is in e locality called
Erfurt, where the culture is largely
and proftably carried on. The seed
either of cabbage or csulinower grown
on this side of the Atlantic will rarely
produce plants that make heads. New

The Largest Cave.

Under the dome of the Horticultural
Building at the Chicago Exposition
there is an exhibit that will direct the
steps OF many tourists to North Dakota.
There arc several underground rooms
decorated with stalactites and stalag-
mites taken from the great cave dis
covered in the Black Hills region. This
cave is fifty-two miles long, and nearly
1900 rooms, some of them 200 feet
high, have been opened. There are
streams, waterfalls and thirty-scvon
lakes, one Of which is an acre in OK
tent. The cave is 5000 feet above sea
level and 400 feet below the earth's
surface. Petrified bones, snakes and
wood are taken from it. The theory
is that these pieces of wood we're washed
in through the opening. A piece Of
pitch pine was placed In the water
three years ago, and now it is SD own
in petrifed state.
The Northern Lumberman suggests
the exhibit is an advertisement which
will attract many to visit the natural
cave. Scientific American.

HAIRDBEssING IN JAPAN.

One of the joys of the japanese
woman's life, which Sir Edwin Arnold
has failed TO dwell upon, Is her hair
dressing, although he mentions the re-
suit admiringly. The ordinary japanese
woman has her hair dressed twice n
week. First the assistant nairdresser
comes and oils the locks with camel
liza or sesamun oil; then the principal
arrives and spends nearly an hour IN
piling up the hair so that it will indi-
cate the caste and age of the woman
and whether she be "maid, wife or
widow" For all that is expressed by
the arrangement Of the locks in Japan.
The women sleep upon neck blocks,
carefully followed out so that the hair
may remain undisturbed all night.
For ladies of high degree these blocks
are beautifully lacquered and
decorated. They generally have a
little drawer into which the super.
huous ornaments can be put at night.

The Grave on the Platte.

On the north fork of the Platte
River. with the blue mountains of Col
orado in sight to the west, we made
camp one afternoon Mt an earlier houl
than usual By-and-by, in our knock
ing around for frevood, one OF the
men brought in piece of board which
was rotted at one end as if it had been
in the ground.

cover there, was the reply, as the
man addressed pointed over his
shoulder.
Some OF us followed Old Bill to the
spot. There was a grave there-the
grave of a child. We found it only
after the dead grass of a dozen winters,
perhaps, had been cleared away. The
board had stood at its head once-how
long ago it was placed there no one
could say. Some cmigrant train had
halted Just here, and here some emil
grants child had breathed its last.
They had dug grave for it in this
degolate spot, heaped stones over the
fresh earth that the wolves might
not uncover the little form, and the
grief-stricken father had marked the
spot ut best he could
No knife had touched the board.
The emigrant train would not wait for
that. We looked IT over and brushed
away the stains and the mildew, but
there was neither date nor name. Oh
what use? For every mile Of the old
trails to the far West there is name
less and forgotten grave, remembered
only by God.
"What are You going to do?"
SO we asked Of the rough old man AS
he returned to the wagon for a shovel.
He made no reply, but used the
shovel to heap up the sunken grave
and pat down the earth. There were
vines and flowers growing near. He
transplanted them until the fresh earth
was almost hidden from sight, and he
carried water from the river to give
them root. After supper, as we smoked
and talked, he brought from his wagon
a thick board and spent his hours IN
cutting the cpitaph:
"Here lie berried sumbodys child. -
And before he slept he had the
headboard in place, and as we drove
away next morning he fingered for
half an hour to bring more water and
perhaps to utter prayer for the repose
of the dead. Detroit Free Press.

yuc,eS In LIE.

IF we expect to succeed in life we
must make up our mind to work
hard. We must not let it be our no
ton of a fine lady or gentleman to do
nothing. The idle life is miserable
life; it is bound to be so. God has
promised many blessing to indus
try; He has promised none to indo-
lence. God Himself works, and He
wants His children. to work.
"The second thing that tends di'
rectly to success in life is q distinct
aim. A man may run very hard in a
race; the perspiration may stream
from his brow and every muscle DO
strained; but if he is not running In
a right direction, if he is running
away from the goal, all his activity
will not help him. So industrious
habits are not sufficient, unless we
havAa distinct idea of what we are
aiming at. The world is full of pur-
poseless people, and such people come
to nothing.
"The third essential to success in
life is moral character, in its various
elements OF honesty, truthfulness,
steadiness, temperance. Honesty is

worldly maxims that express the ex-
perience of mankind. A small leak
will sink a great ship. One bad
string in a harp will turn its music
into discord. Any flaw in moral
character will sooner or later bring
disaster. We may have
other qualifications that go to COM
mand success, such as those we have
noticed-induStry and distinct aim
but want of principle will render
them useless,

APPLE-TwIG BLIGHT.

There are two distinct forms OF what
are called twig-bhght in apple trees.
One is caused by minuteinsects boring
in the twigs, cutting and eating out
the soft pitb, which causes tho young
growth to suddenly wither and die,
the leaves usually remaining attached
TO the twigs, appearing as though
scorched by heat; hence the name of
''fire blight in some localities. In the
other form of blight the cause is un-
known, but it is supposed to be the re-
suit of some disease of the sap, result
ing in a sudden check in the circula-
ton. The diseased twigs should be
cut away and then gathered up and
burned for the purpose of destroying
any insects in them, as well as germs
of disease. This may not prevent the
appearance of blight the following
season, but it is thought to lessen its
destructiveness. New York Sun.

There is no business which will give
better yield on small capital than
farming. This is no new fact, but il
should be stated and restated urtil
every boy on farm knows its truth.
Buckwheat is often n profitable late
crop. 1t is also excellent for cleaning
land, and by its rapid growth ard dense
shade assists in the process Of nitrili-
cation, o. changing e1imal and vege-
table matters into nitrates so that they
become soluble in water. Consequently
the crop following buckwheat some
times has very great quantity OF
available plant food ready for its use.

Which XYns tho Prince?

Some years ago a masquerade oaI
was given by the late Lady Marion
Afford, mother Of the present Earl
BrownlOw, and a very distinguished
company was invited. As all we're to
De marked, each guest was naturally
requested to present the card OF lnvl-
tation at the door Of Afford House.
And, equally naturally, several Of
the masqueraders had forgot to bring
their cards.
The first Of these, being a gentle
man Of resource, hit. however, on a
plan to gain admission without the
required formula, that proved per-
rectly successful.
"Your card Of invitation, please,

The servant bowed low, and the
pseudO-prince passed up.
Ten minutes later another guest
arrived without his card. BY an odd
coincidence the same eXpedient Oc-
cured to him.

GARD, sir, said the servant.
The guest stared at him absent
mindedly.
"Oh." he said, Il have not got it;
but it doesn't matter, think. am

The second pretender might have
had more difficulty 10 enforcing his
claim; but at the foot of the steps
was one OF the. TOyal carriages, and
the sight OF the scarlet liyeries con
yinced the servant that he had been
deceived by the first pretender, and
that the true Prince stood there 10
prOpria persona.
With murmured apology the Of
fetal bowed lower than before, and
amid the whispers Of the bystanderS
the royal claimant passed on.
His place was taken by a stout gen
