Berry Bulletin.

The growing Of berry calls into action
some of the most wonderful laws Of nature
In the growth of plants we find these laws
in perfection. We also find in various tolm
a complete supply Of every element required
for the development Of both plant and fruit
Nature gives US all these products without
stint. She simply asks in return that we
assist her in some Of the smaller details OF
the work.
She asks that the soil lie made rich and
well prepared. That the plant be of good
quality and carefully set out. That frequent
hoeing and cultivation be given. That plants
be protected from winter frosls and summer
drought That no insect pest or tungous
disease find an abiding place with them
That you treat them rs Il friend and love
them as brother.
Both pleasure and profit comes in greatest
measure from closest attention to all these
details. Nature furnishes almost every good
with a prodigal hand, but she is a niggard
to him who will not work in her ways. You
cannot cheat her in her ways. You cannot
cheat her in farm or garden. You cannot
get something for nothing. These arc days
of progress.

HOlne.M Made Furniture.

A window seat may be made SO that the
lid will lift. Then use it as wished foI
dresses or wraps. Plain pine lumber is quite
good enough. Make the box to suit the size
of the window. A sofa, to stand in another
part of the ROOM may also be made like a
box. Divide it into compartments so tina,
you can put papers and other things in TIC
different spaces. Both should have castors
The window seat may be at least six inches
higher than the sofa. The top may be upho'
stored, padded with excelsior, HAIR or cotton
and then covered with dark, mixed material
Any of the Turkish cotton goods or the new
ticking will answer the purpose AT the
ends of the sofa have two rolls. These rolls
may be fastened, giving the appearance of an
old fashioned rolled arm ofa Five feet long
and two and half wide would be very

A woman may take care of her face to the

The woman who insists on cleaning up a

The 1897 bicycle may properly be said to
have made its debut. Of greater interest
than the 1907 wheel is the debut Of thu 1897
bicycle girls. The brisk wind makes their
checks rosy. lfany,hing more is needed to
make the girls Interesting, it is found in the
gaycr hucs of the 1897 cycling costume they
wear.
There is feature Of the 1897 outfit which
will make the year historical in wheeling.
1t is the derby hat. A few whcelwomen
wore this favorile headgear of commonplace
man last year Now nearly half the young
women seen on the popular cycle paths have
them on. With such start it is fair to as
sumo that before long the derby hat will be
firmly established.
When worn with the hl,omer cnst.uln,
the hat causes confusion in the !ninus #

theess the derby hat has come to STAY, at
least for this season.

THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
Life in homes or elsewhere must respect
the Individuality of others. If one spends
ones self in living another persons life, or
insisting on another living his, one has no
time to live ones own. The dear old hymn
says the happy time comes when
each shall hear his brothers sigh
And with him bear part,
When sorrow flows from eye to eye,
And joy from heart to heart"
But an older book says: For every man
must bear his own burden" Bear We one
anothcr's burdens" is blessed message, but
the other is too often forgotten. Bear your
o,on! Self reliance Is the worlds prop; cheer
fulness the homes sunshine; mutual conf
dence the domestic safeguard, and consider.
alton the balmy atmosphere which develops
the noblest family life. Happiness is not a
chance; it should be principle. A rising
above circumstances when one cannot adjust
things to ones plans What is "worry'
but the fear that people Or the elements will
not move accord ng to ones wishes! we
cannot have it all our own way, there is al
ways the other person. SO to self reliance
must be joined adaptabity, that grace of
mind and heart which fits all occasions, all
mutations, all moods. And socialism, like
charity, which is its amplest part, begins
not in Mars, Altruria or Utopia, but at
home, So the children may rise up and call
the home maker blessed, her husband also,
even though he forget to praise her very
much.
The most beautiful marriage service l ever
heard was one which the father of the bride
closed with these words And may it be
said of thee my daughter, as of those of old,
many daughters have done vlrtuously, but
thou excelest them all."-Mrs. j. l.. r.

Heat Of the Sun.

Prof. Langley and Lord Kelvin agree
that the temperature of the sun is about
5000 degrees centigrade.
The eminent Italian astronomer and
mathematician Secchi gave it as his
opinion that the temperature could be
but little, if any, short Of 100000 de-
grees centigrade.
Shorer thought it might be $1,000 de-
grees.
Pouillet brought it down to some
where between /, 400 and 1,SQO degrees.
NJ Becquerers opinion was in sub
stantial agreement with that of Prof
Langley.
NJ. st. Clair Deville declares that the
heat of the solar surface does not give
evidence of being in excess Of $500 de-
grees.
M. Deville's conclusion is in accord
ance also with the conclusion arrived
at by Bunsen and Debray.
Sir Robert Ball, professor of astrono-
my at Cambridge, England, is quoted
as rating the effective temperature Of
the sun as probably $4,000 degrees.

The Bear and the yyheelmen.

Right in the middle of the track was
black bear about 4 feet high and 6
feet long. We had never seen Bruin
before outside the Zoo OF in the cage of
a perambulating menagerie, says Tray
ell SO we were interested and the in
terest took the shape Of a tightening
across the chest and a Quickness of
breathing such as you feel when easy
and happy go-lucky in your mind. The
bear was interested in us and evidently
glad to see us. He gave grunt, slowly
wagged his head and began to advance.
At first we thought of amusing him by
"reminiscences of stale buns given to
his species when we were younger and
less callous of heart. Yet we cooked
our revolvers in case there should be
any disputing the fact, though we knew
a bullet from a six-shooter would have
as much effect upon the hide Of bear
as peashooter would have in wound
ing an elephant.
"Now, don't fire until he's within
arms reach; then drive into his eyes or
open mouth" That was the arrange
ment.
We halted, ready for action. So did
our friend the enemy, and we saw he
was scanning us with scornful eyes.
He moved to get side view. Hes
funking it; he's frightened we said,
with lowered voice. BY way of an
swer the bear came on four strides at a
trot and up went the revolvers.
Don't shoot, don't shoot, till he's
nearer"
Bruin hesitated. He was consider
ing. He was something of a philoso-
pher and evidently thought: "They are
only a couple of lanky, fleshless cy-
clists; what would be the good Of kill
ing them?'
On which sage reflection he turned
about and sauntered up the mountain
side
