UNOBTRUSiVE
Was Louis XII. of France, But Wise
and Economic Ruler.

Louis MI. of France was affection
ately called by the French the Father
of his People This title was given
him by the States General for the great
success which attended his administra-
ton of the internal affairs of France.
His predecessor, Charles WILL, had, by
Il warlike policy, brought France into
prominence among the European ma
tons; but Louis, in his invasion of Italy,
lost Naples to France, and was unsuc-
cessful in other enterprises, with the
result that the industries of his coun-
try suffered through necessary taxa
ton. He thereupon withdrew from Eu-
ropean politics and devoted himself to
the internal affairs of France. lie en-
couraged trade, agriculture and COM
merce, built many public works, and
brought artists from Italy to aid in that
revival of literature and art which af-
terward received the name of the Re
nassance. He also checked the luxury
of his court. limited his private eX-
penses to the income from his estates.
and collected and distributed the public
money with such strict economy that
taxes We're reduced one-third. This
course rendered him comparatively OBJ
scure, but the justice and wise economy
of Louis MI. produced i'll France
condition of prosperity which enabled
her to act with power in the affairs OF
Europe. Her territory was compact,
her people more united than ever, and
puted. Louis so benefited France as
to enable his successor, Francis l., to
prove himself one of the most brilliant
monarchs since the days of Charlie

you of the nmble squirrels, chasing
over the scattered leaves and brush
ing them away in search of the white
shelbark hickory nuts.
Illinois, Missouri, Ohio and Indiana
are great States for Hickory nuts and
walnuts. Some seasons there Will be
a great scarcity of mast in the river
and creek bottoms-Of hickory nuts,
walnuts, pignuts and butternuts. This
may occur year after year, and then,
with no very apparent reason, a fall
season will come bringing with it nuts
of all kinds in very great abundance.
Hickory nuts are of several sizes and
qualities. There are very large ones,
with remarkably thick shells. and
sizes ranging from these big fellows
down to the small and dainty white
shellbark or scalybarii. On the river
bottoms and creek bottoms the hickor
les grow thickest, and there the best
quality and greater quantity of nuts
are found.

pecan Is one of the most valuable and
keenest sought after nuts of COM
merce. Vast quantities are shipped
from Texas, and Southern Illinois fur
nishes good many bushels.
There are various ways of gathering
nuts, the most common being to sim
ply wait until the frost and the late
ness of the season have brought the
nuts tt the ground, when 1t only be-
comes a question of picking them up.
This requires patience and strong
spine. But when the nutting party
goes into the woods and finds the nuts
holding onto the twigs and branches
like grim death to a dead Indian then
it becomes a question of strategy and
spoils.
To climb shellbark hickory tree
successfully Is the easiest thing in the
world-for squirrel. But the aver

When they came to the leaning old

one who had first visited the low

Oats Turned Into Barley.

The question of ''transmutation of
species" in the vegetable world has
been discussed in all the scientific jour
nails in this and foreign countries since
the time when the mind of man began
to inquire into cause and effect, or at
least since journals We're first estab-
lished. 1t has been repeatedly assert
ed that wheat will turn to cheat also,
but less frequently and less positively
claimed, that oats will turn to barley,
and vice versa This curious fact In
nature" has always been scoffed at by
the scientists. because it is inconsistent
with preconceived theories. Now it APP
pears that there is no doubt whatever
but that such transformation occasion
ally takes place. A gentleman whose
name and place of residence are given
in one of the leading London papers
carefully planted some picked grains
of oats in box of sifted soil. When
the plants were foot in height he cut
them down to an inch of the roots. This
process was three times repeated that
year. and some of the roots died; but
others survived, and the next year,
wonder of wonders, they yielded-not
oats. but barley! The yield was, in
deed, perfect barley, rather thin and
unnatu ral in grain but by no means Of
bad type.-St. Louis Republic.

Amusement for Hens

There will be many days this win.
ter when the fowls will have to be
confined TO the house and shed, so be
sure to provide amusement for them
in some shape for ''the devil finds some
mischief still for idle hens to do" Idle
ness is the father and mother both of
feather pulling and egg eating, besides
allowing the fowls to get too fat, and
that means loss of eggs altogether, or
soft shells or apoplexy. A handful of
grain among the litter, cabbage hung
mp, or some sugar beets or turnips con
the floor, will keep them busy. AS sat
isfactory plan as ever tried was to
rake the litter in a heap. scattering a
handful or two of grain through 1t and
let the fowls spread 1t again. This
they would do several times in the
course of day. The same plan work

dear old home, which seemed so grand
and beautiful then. How could it ever
seem lonely and humble to her when it
was so rich in thousand happy, bless
ed recollections? Had not that been
Johns favorite rosebush? Fad not
she and John planted that very noun
tain ash together? And could the rooms
ever seem empty and cramped to her
when every nook and corner spoke to
her sometimes of the living or of the
dead as eloquently as tongues could
do?
Here is where she used to sit and
watch the fire on winter evenings,
rocking the cradle as she knit. This
dark spot on the worn floor is where
baby Mary had spilled the ink while
she sat there writing to the soldier
father far away where the battle ragged
ON the long, dreary march. And here
beside the old-fashloned table, on
which still lay the well-thumbed Bi-
BILE, she had knelt and prayed for TWEEN
ty years with John-prayed for her
little ones in fearful grief when he
was gone-prayed for them when they
one by one slipped from her arms into
the cold world, and where she still
nightly bent her stiff old knees to pray
for them and theirs.
Mother only loved the old house bet
ter as the years rolled on, but when
grim old age had slowly crept upon her
ii was decided in family council that
she must make up her mind to come
and live with one or the other of them,
for it was altogether out of the ques-
ton for her to remain in that gloomy
old house alone. SO, one sad day,
overpowered by the sons and daugh-
ters who meant to be kind, mother
went softly to and fro over the old
house, taking leave of it all, and the
last farewell was the visit to the two
mounds under the dropping elms where
John slept and the first born little son
lay. Then, with feeling that the
world can never quite understand she
was driven away TO the fine city resi-
dence-they don't call them homes now
where Alfred and his wife, who for
all their kindness rather overpowered
mother with their fine ways, had
given her a stately room. and. what
was the most dreadful she was sup
posed to keep in there alone by her
self Yes, they meant to be kind to
her, but the city ways and style gave
the old lady the feeling that she was in
an asylum, and, in spite of all the
grandeur, mothers wrinkled cheeks
lost their soft pink like that of Il half
wilted rose, and she began to grow
feeble and worn. though every one was
SO busy that it passed unnoticed. She
