current COMBINATIONS.

Gladstone was born Dec. %, 1909.
His public career began with his cleo
ton to Parliament in 1922 He has
since been continuously before the peo-
pie and his active career covers period
of sixty-four years.
The enormous mass of poetry which
Wordsworth gave to the world was
written between 1893, when IAN Even
ing Walk" was published, and his
death in 1850. His active life therefore
covered fifty-seven years.
Hannibal's life lasted sixty-four
years, but, although he continued his
hostilities against Rome, from first to
last, over twenty years, his fame as
soldier depended almost altogether
upon the first two years campaign In
Italy.
Tennyson's earliest poems were pub
lished in 1920. His last important pro-
yduction, Queen Mary" was published
in 1875. He continued TO write poems
at irregular intervals until nearly 1890.
His literary life was about sixty-one
years long.
Handel, the great opera and oratcrio
writer, lived from 1855 to 1853. Be
tween 1913 and the date of his death
he composed over fifty operas, nearly
twenty oratorios and an immense
quantity of music for the organ, harp
ischord and orchestra.
Daniel Defoe lived 20 years, from
1861 to 1871. His literary life cover
ed a period of about forty years. The
only work by which he is remembered,
the immortal Robinson Crusoe," Is
said to have been written in six or
eight months. His political and po-
lemic works. though contained in near
ly thirty volumes, are now completely
| forgotten.
1t is not generally known that tea.
| tasting is n regular commercial pro.
| fession, and one which is certain death
the tea-taster depends upon the trained
accuracy of his nose and palate, his
experience in the wants of the market
and keen business tact. Ii he has these
qualities in high cultivation he may
command large salary as long as he
lives-and die of liberation OF the lungs.
In overhauling a cargo Of tea he CLASH
fees 1t and determines the value of each
sort. In doing this he first looks at
the color of the leaf and the general
cleanliness OF ii. He next takes guam
tity of the herb i'm his hand, and. breath
ing his warm breath upon 1t. snuffs up
! the fragrance. In doing this he draws
into his lungs quantity OF irritating
dust, which Is by no means wholesome.
Then, sitting down TO table in his
Office. on which is long row Of little
porcelain cups and A pot Of hot water,
he draws" the tea and tastes it. In
this way he Classics the different sorts
to the minutest shade, makes the DIFF
ferent prices and then compares his
work with the invoice. The skill OF
some of these men is marvellous. but
the effect OF the business on their
health is ruinous. They grow lean,
nervous and consumptive.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitti-
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an In
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is iufamed
you have a rumbllng sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when 1t Is entirely closed. Deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to It's normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine eases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which Is nothing but an infiamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness lcailsed by catarrh) that can

Nature of Sandy Soil.

Sand hasa great power for the trans
portation OF water. 1t will convey
water quicker than any other soil, but
It will not hold as much. A clay soil
hold more, but water will pass through
more slowly. Sandy soils take in all
the rains that fall, and If there Is a
subtennnean supply within ten or If
teen feet of the surface, 1t seems to
have power to pump the water up to
the roots Of the plants. If, however,
there is no such supply, the higheHtem-
perature of summer will usually in
crease the temperature of the top sandy
soil and gradually dry 1t out faster than
a fine. clayey soil Clay will hold more
moisture and hold 1t longer than any
other form of soil, but 1t must be pro-
teeted by surface cultivation.

Wheat Will Fatten Hens.

While 1t Is true that wheat Is better
feed than corn for egg production, some
caution needs to be used In feeding it
too literally. Hens are more greedy
for wheat than for any other grain.
probably because instinct teaches them
that this grain contains just what they
need for every purpose. But II is a
mistake TO suppose that wheat with the
phosphate OF lime 1t contains does not
also furnish the fat-forming nutrition
that needs to be given to fowls in mod
GRAFTON. Hence there ought to be light
rations of wheat, with some chopped
clover hay and vegetables like cabbage
or turnip. to give variety and ill the
gizzard without furnishing too much
nutrition.

To Iron Shirts.

Before ironing, dip shirt bosoms. Guns
and collars into thin, cold starch, US

oms, but more for the collars, cuffs,
neckbands and wristbands. Fold the
back OF the shirt through the center
lengthwise-not including the front In
this f0ld-and iron II on both sides. Next
iron and polish the wristbands. finish
the sleeves, taking care to iron them
alto proper shape. Iron the neckband,
and give II its proper curved shape by
placing II right side down on the board
and pressing the point of the iron firm
~ upon the end nearest you, leaving an
inch exposed to grasp with the fingers;
pun 1t slowly from under the iron, lift
ing 1t up from the board close to the
edge OF the iron, until the entire length
has been drawn from under the iron;
repeat this until'the desired curve is
obtained. Curve collars, cuffs and wrist
bands likewise. Take the shirt by the
shoulders and turn it front uppermost
on the board, iron the unstarched por-
ton OF the front, then insert the shirt
board. Pull into. shape and iron the
bosom smooth and dry, being careful
not to iron in wrinkles. Iron out with
the point of iron before the linen be-
comes dry; If dry, wet the spot with Il
damp cloth, then iron out. For polish
Ing, have the convex iron hot as posi-
bic short of scorching the linen. Have
the Switchboard covered with but one
thickness Of linen. Dampen the surface
with a wet cloth. Polish by passing the
iron quickly across from side to side
and then from base to Ieck. using con.
siderable pressure and working with
the back of the iron as far as possible
Polish collars and cuffs likewise.

There Is undoubtedly a scarcity Of
first-class horses In the leading horse
markets, and surplus of inferior ones.
There is nothing so good for bedding
as good, long rye straw, and 1t has
the preference over anything else, peat
moss included. ".
The colt should be educated from the
start not to be afraid of anything, and
should be handled and driven when not
over one year old, just enough to teach
1t what 1t means to be hitched and
driven about the road and the city.
Never strike or in any other way
abuse or brighten colt as 1t Is impossi-
BILE for him to understand why you are
doing it, and 1t will only make him
wild, timid, or vicious, and cannot pos
sibly do any good, and is bound to do
harm. Use patience and kindness, and
you will be sure to conquer in the end.
An old broncho driver gives the fol-
lowing as sure way to cure horse OF
kicking: The way we fix a kicking
horse is to tie one of his forelegs with
a rope to the hind leg on the other side.
Then, as soon as he starts to kick, he
jerks his front leg off the ground. and
goes down In heap. Two or three
doses Of that kind will cure the worst
case you can find"

1t Is frequently asked how many
sheep can be kept on an acre OF land.
Prof. Shaw tells us that on the expert
mental farm last year they kept six
ewes and ten lambs on one acre Of land
for five and half months. This, how
ever, we think would be too high an
estimate for the ordinary acres and or
binary management. The best way to
estimate any kind Of herbivorous or
grass-eating stock Is by the pound
rather than by the head. There will
not be very great difference between
the amount Of grass consumed by a
thousand pounds of beef, horse. or
sheep. With hogs 1t is different be-
cause they are not usually dependent
on grass for their feed. and hence a
greatly increased number Of pounds
