A Peru Ind. special in the ST. Lou
i Globe Democrat runs as follows: Sa-
.perstitious people of the city and coun-
ty are worried over the discovery made
that the letter -'B" is being found
plainly impressed upon leaves of grow
ing oats, and it i put down as a pre-
diction of disaster. The letter il taken
a an indication Of ''blOodshed, and
it i said in proof Of this that the mys-
terious circumstance was noticed pre-
oeding the civil war and the war of
1sI2, hence with such examples in the
past some look upon its reappearance
a. prophetic Of some similar calamity.
A reporter investigated the truthful
ness Of the letters presence and found
il as reported. The letter is
distinct and seems TO have been
pressed into and across the leaves as
with type. Some people say the APP
pearance Of the letter Is frequent and
means nothing, but none can explain
the cause Of its presence.

Hot Water for Cows

Seven and Six"

English newspapers in tine days when
advertisements were heavily taxed pub
lished the titles of books reviewed in
their columns, but never the pres, b.
cause the excise Office held that an an
nexed price was an advertisement and
as such taxable. The custom continued
or a long time after the tax ON adver-
tisements had been removed.
The London newspapers also made a
distinction between a simple notice Ofa
death, for which they charged shil-
lings, and brief obituary, for which
they demanded seven and sixpencc.
One day DIR. Thomas Hume, a grave
satirical London doctor, called at the
Office of a morning journal and silently
placed upon the counter the announce
ment of the death of friend, together
with shiI.ings. The clerk glanced at
the paper, tossed il one side and said
gruflly, 'Seven and six -

Hume, chad occasion to publish these

They Keep Pond Waters Clear.

Fish have their uses to humanity
over and above serving as food materi.
al or as unwilling caterers 10 the sport
of the fishermen, says the New York
.S,a. Although it may seem odd 80 to
speak of them, they often are as indis-
pensable to country place as a dog OF
eat.
If that country place happens to he
one that is supplied with running Wa
ter, and this is used for ornament in
ponds or fountains, two things are
pretty sure to bother the owner.
One Is the well-known green scum
which spreads over the waters of ponds
and fountain basins. When its growth
begins the plant is pretty. Ii starts
from the bottom, as soon as the sun
gets high, in May or June, aud sends
upward a delicate, graceful, wavy
thread of vivid green. Until il reach
e. the surface it remains pretty, but
once there it spreads and rots, and i
soon offensive in several WAYS.
The other nuisance from standing
water, even when it Is often renewed
and directly from the springs, is mos
q0itoes. The wigglers grow there.
The remedy for both these troubles is
fish, and the two kinds that will cure
them happen TO be the two most desir-
able for other reasons.
Goldfish will keep the green scum
from growing; and yellow perch, OF,
a. they are generally called, sunfish,
will destroy the mosquito wigglers.

With a Philosophical Touch.

BE womanly. There is too much
masculinity abroad i'm the land. There
fore, be womanly. And know that the
essence of fwOmanliness consists in wear
ing wash dresses and letting men con-
stantly work for YOU.
Do not always strive to make up your
mind and 10 have an opinion on every
question. 4 seat on the fence is much
to be preferred 10 fighting room in the
field. Besides, while you are undecid-
ed YOU are an object Of interest to both
sides. A. soon a You have Joined one
side you lose you attraction for both.
Assume an ignorance if you have il
not and you viii endear yourself to
mankind. Know nothing Of boats and
nautical cranks viii spend hours in in
structing you. Be totally unlearned
about horses and traps and sportsmen
will crowd around YOU with informa-
tiOn. A. soon as YOU know as much as
those whom you converse, they do not
care to converse with you.
When YOU are lazy pretend to think
inaction elegance. When other women
are inactive call them lazy. When you
are boisterous call it vivacity or energy
but when other women are vivaciOus
call them romps. Definitions e1nve-
