Odd-Minuto Societies.

Some Of those enthusiasts for work
who delight to leave no second unoc-
cupied and who regard 1t as a crime
ito loaf and invite ones SOUL have
organized odd-minute societies. The
Odd Minute Society, as its. name i'm
plies. is an organization formed for
the purpose Of turning every leisure
moment to account. Some Of the
clubs are given to philanthropic work,
and their members are pledged to
have on hand some work for the poor
to occupy any chink Of the day which
regular duties leave unoccupied. 9th
ers are given to self-development, and
odd seconds are devoted to reading or
language study.
The odd-minute club . evidently
an organization capable Of use and
abuse The woman whose daylight
hours are really full Of work should
shun such society as she would the
plague A busy woman's odd minutes
should be assiduously devoted to do
ing nothing but feeling how good a
thing 1t Is to rest. A woman whose
day is not arportioned carefully, but
between whose many and varying du-
ties gaps occ<r may find membership
in these odd-mtnu,e societies really
valuable.-New York World.

some Effective Solutions for Insecticides
and Tungicides.
Spraying is most effectual when II
Ia done early in the season. The soon
er the work begins the better. Spray
ers are now made of many different
designs, and solutions can be carried
in barrels on wheels, or on the back,
In O contrlvance similar to q knapsack.
Spraying is intended not only to pre-
vent diseases of fruits and vegetables,
and to protect the trees and plants In
that respect, but Is used also as q
safeguard against insects. A fungi
eide is solution used for destroying
parasitic fungi, such as rot, mildew,
blight, rust, etc. An insectcide Is
used for the destruction OF insects. OF
the well-known solutions that have
been tested and found efflcacious are
those mentioned below:
Blue vitriol (sulphate of copper, Is
the principal substance used as
fungicide. Dissolve six pounds in four
gallons OF hot water and then dilute
to sixteen gallons. Shake four pounds
OF lime In six gallons Of water, In a
separate vessel, and when cool strain
1t into the copper solution. Use wood
en- vessels and apply the solution i'm
mediately after mixing. This Is known
as the bordeaux mixture" Another
copper solution, known as Eau Ce-
leste," Is made by dissolving two
pounds Of copper sulphate in four gal
Ions OF water, adding three pints OF
ammonia, and then diluting to fifty
gallons, applying as soon as made.
"Ammoniacal copper solution" Is made
by using carbonate OF copper, instead
Of the sulphate, and carbonate Of am
monia. Dissolve three ounces Of car
Donate OF copper In gallon OF water
and a pound of carbonate OF ammonia
in the same quantity Of water. sep
arately. Mix, and dilute to fifty gal
Ions, applying when mixed.
For insects the kerosene emulsion is
mostly used. Shave one pound Of
hard soap in half gallon Of boiling
water and when the soap is dissolved
remove the boiling water from the fire
and add half gallon Of kerosene,
churning briskly with the force pump
Of the sprayer for fifteen minutes un-
til the mixture has the appearance OF
thick cream. Kerosene will not mix
with water, but will form an emul-
sion with soap. Now add slowly, stir

OF water, according to the strength

improve the emulsion II added at the

The Rothnoilds Fortune.

The fortune of the Rothschilds has
often been mentioned in print, but the
Parts Signal gives some new and In
teresting information about 1t. Ac-
cording to this authority, the total
wealth of the Rothschild family at the
present time amounts to 10000, 100000
francs, Of which the French branch
possesses 1,OOOOOO,OO0. In 1875 they
had less than half this sum, showing
that their fortune has doubled In Is
years In 1900 the grandfather OF the
present generation of Rothschilds had
nothing. his financial success begin
ming after the battle of Waterloo. 1t
Is estimated that in 1865 their fortune
will, II continuing to grow as hereto
fore, amount TO the stupendous sum
of 300 900, ,O00.O francs. The interest
on this capital would be sufficient to
sustain 100000 people, that is, tha
entire present population OF France.

A WILD CHAdGE.
The Lone Soldier Dashed Through a Reg

The Lone Soldier Dashed Through n Reg
iment Unscathed.
Some of the most amusing stories
are those which have serious side.
An old Confederate soldier the other
day told a story that Is very laugha-
BILE in these days Of peace. 1t was af-
ter John Morgan was made general
that a company was formed OF some
of his old squadron who had just re-
turned from Camp Chase, where for
some time they had been imprisoned.
The company had been formed by
man named Quirk, reckless, daring
fellow, and stranger to fear. The
company went by the name Of Quirk's
Scouts.
At this time the company was down
in Middle Tennessee, and was skir-
mishing around for fight, when they
suddenly came upon a regiment OF
Federal cavalry. In a short time the
two bodies of soldiers we're standing
face to face, and the bullets were fy-
ing thick and fast through the air.
The fight that followed was a desper-
ate one, and each side seemed deter
mined TO stand its ground. Suddenly,
as the fight was at its hottest. a horse
was seen to dash out of the Confeder-
ate line, and start In a direct line for
the Yankee regiment. On the horses .
back was a man named English, who
was leaning back in his saddle and
pulling with all his might In Il futile
effort to stop his frightened horse.
The animal was yellow In color, and
In running took long and clumsy
jumps. The rider finally saw that he
could not stop the animal, and he
made up his mind to make the best
of his situation. He leaned forward
in his saddle until his head almost
touched his horses neck and his hands
elapsed the bride near the bit. Even
the riders ears seemed pinned back
so great was his effort to make him
self as small az possible. His face
was as pale as death. On went the
animal toward the regiment turning
neither to the right nor left, and clo-
ser did the rider keep to the animals
body.
The Yankees saw the horse with Its
rider making straight for them, and
they were seized with CONSERVATION
Some Of the soldiers ceased firing ant
looked excitedly at the maddened an
imal flying toward them. In shor
while he reached the regiment, bu
did not stop. The federals almost fel
upon each other in their effort to ge
away from the horses heels, and {
regular panic followed. The anima
went plunging through the centre o
the regiment, foaming at the mouth
and with head down. The horse an,
| rider dashed on through the entir
regiment, and the Yankees kept max
ing way for them all down the entir
line. Not shot was fired until h
had gotten out Of range, and thel
| nearly half the regiment, who ha'
managed to recover themselves from
their astOnishment, fired at cloud o
dust rising in the air, but the hors
| and rider were at safe distance.
The horse made a complete circle
returning to the confederate compan
In safety. When the rebels saw thei
comrade had returned without
scratch from such dangerous ride
they almost forgot the fight befor
them, and there went up a great cheel

A fault In handling farm horses, OF
which not few of us are guilty, is to
keep them idle much Of the time. II
work is properly managed horses can
be used 234 days of the year. Ground
can be plowed In the fall, fence ma
terial be hauled in place, wood be
sledded up and gullies be filled in the

less horses will suffice than when their
work Is put into $50 days of the year.
