AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

AN exchange reports that grease
weed which is invading the country
from the north is likely to prove al
most as damaging as the Russian
thistle.
IF the grain shocks are allowed to
stand very long in the fields which
were sowed to clover last spring they
are liable to kill the plants they cover
and thus create bare spots in the fields.
A FLOWING match is announced as one
of the features Of the Iowa state fair
this year. This method will be adopted
for determining the relative merits of
tbs implements placed upon exhibition.

The PawnbrOker Made an Exceeding
Iy Narrow Escape.
From the Chicago Times
Another clever trick that came near be-
ing successful was that of a man who went
into a pawnbroker's with a magnificent
ruby ring.
How much do you want?' asked the
paw br oker.
What will you give? answered the GUS
toner.
after examining the ring the pawn
broker offered $500, which, considering the
jewel was a gem, wasn't any too much.
mo answered the man. must have
$780,
This the pawnbroker refused, and tho
man replaced the ring on his finger. JUS:
as he reached the dc or he turned back, say.
ing: oh, very well; / only really need
$500 He handed back the ring, and the
pawrbrcker counted out six crisp $50 bills
He was just on the point Of handing them
over when a clsver assistant whispered:
'ExamiLe that ring.
THE pawnbroker took the hint, and upon
examiI. ation found the ring to be In every
respect the same as the one previously in
spected except the ruby, which was mere
glass. The setting ana The dlarr onds were
genuine.
During the moment, for 1t wasn't longer,
that the man had turned he had substitute
ed enc ring for the other. The pawnbroker,
not satisfied with having escaped a serious
loss had the man arrested. When searched
he had three similar rings in his possession.
The Judge, however, had no sympathy with
the PFC secutor, and after stating that there
was no evidence against the prisoner In
such a case discharged him."

THE SILENCE CURE,
Women Hurt Their Nerves by Talk
ing Too Much.


From the New York Sun.
Il have two or three patients who are Ill
with nervous prostration and who could
be cured II they would stop talking" said
a nerve specialist the other day. 'They
waste their nerve tissue as fast as can
supply 1t, and they are on the verge Of
mysteries and acute nervous pain all the
time. A woman. If she be inclined to talk
too much. should time herself just as she
would take medicine, and allow herself only
just so many minutes of talk.
Now, the other day a woman who is
troubled with insomnia came in my office
for treatment. She had been taking drugs.
She told me about her troubles and hei'
tongue ran like the clapper Of a farm
house bell at dinner time. I thought she
never would let up. Finally stopped her.
DO you talk as much as that very
often, madam? / asked
'She drew herself up and said in an Of
seriously think can cure her In a month.
DO / have many such cases? Well, I
should say I did! 1t is almost safe to de-
clare that there never Is q case of real
acute nervousness unless the woman is a

doctor. / assure you. l am worn out from
lack Of sleep; and though my family do all
things possible to divert my mind, and /
make calls and see people all the time 1

ow. Why last sumner
And so her tongue ratified on, until
again had to stop her.
Now listen to my prescription / said.
Go home and keep still. Don't talk. Time
your tongue waggirgs. At breakfast al
low your husband to read the newspaper
without interruption. After breakfast sew
a little In your own room. Read as much
as you please. Walk long distances If you
are strong enough. Do not make many
calls. At dinner talk all you please, but
spend a quiet evening. If you go to the
theater do not talk much during the play.
Exercise a little self-denial 1t will be hard
at first, for you are a chatterer, but IL you
persevere you will succeed and your ner-
vous system will get rest
What did she say to that? Well, I do
not think she liked 1t. But If she took me
talker. With a man 1t is different. He may
worry himself into insanity, or complete
loss Of brain power, If his business goes

she think she has? Oh, dear, yes! She
thinks she has more to do than any other

Thinking Out a Novel.

Mr.. Hall Caine, author of THE Manx-
man." book which has had such a ire
n'endous success in England, describes the
way in which he wrote the book in this
way: Hardly one passage OF 1t was writ
ten with pen in hand. 1 used to wake early
in the morning, usually about o'clock,
prop myself up in bed, and, with closed
eyes, think out my work for the day, until
not only the thing took shape. but every
passage found expression. About 8 O'Clock
/ would get up and hurriedly write down
the words. This would occupy about an
hour, and then l would do nothing but read
until evening, when / spent another hour

right in planning the work for the follow

FOOT BALL AS TALKED.
The Advantages of Disputes Prelimi-
nary to the University Games.

From Life.
The disputes preliminary to the playing
of the university foot ball have been con-
Quoted this year with customary vigor.
especially the dispute between Yale and
Princeton. There are good points about
these preliminary disputes as compared
with the game itself. Nobody gets hurt in
the disputes, whereas in the games there
are sometimes casualties. Moreover, the
disputes always last a long time, and are
earnest and we'll contested, whereas the
games are brief at best and sometimes
one sided. The disputes, too, are easier and
cheaper to attend than the games. The
newspapers always have reports about
them which one may read to repletion at
small expense and only moderate inconven-
ience. There seems, therefore, TO be much
to favor the conclusion that to have
lively preliminary dispute and no game is
an ideal condition. If the Yale-Princeton
difference should come to that issue this
year the people will have had a rare intel
lectual treat, and the traditional superior
ity OF mind over matter will have been
demonstrated anew.
