FOOD FRoM THE GARDEN.

Farmers Table.

A Valuable Contribution 90 the
Farmers Table.
The great majority Of farmers do not
think as they should about the amount
and quality of the food which they and
their families get from the garden. II
they did there would be less objection
to the tedious and slow work which is
often needed to be done on it. Begin
ming with the earliest vegetables, which
have perhaps been sown the previous
autumn, the garden win from May un-
til November or later furnish some
thing for the table 10 add 10 the farni-
er's enjoyment of life, and also TO fur
nish him strength for the work he has
to do. The farmers wife. who is eN-
pected to provide three meals per day
for the farmer, her children and the
hired men, could tell the farmer some
thing about this. Usually she does.
and it is to her plea, rather than his
own idea, that is to be credited early
plowing Of the garden and the early
planting of peas, radish. lettuce and
other hardy vegetables that will earliest
come into play to provide variety to
please the taste in the vegetables that
thereafter will appear on the farmers
table.
Reckoned only by the nutritive value
that the garden furnishes, its contribu-
ton to the food that the housewife Is
enabled to provide is, as she well knows.

even when served green, contain great
amount of nutrition. Those who read
their Bibles win find in the book OF
Daniel an Endorsement of peas and
beans. called in olden times pulse, that
is fully borne out by latest modern in
vestigations. The Hebrew children
fed for experiment on pulse were fairer.

those who ate the kings meat, which
was generally provided for those who
were in preparation for the service Of
the king. What is this but an indorse-
ment by Biblical authority Of the brown

DAYS the characteristic diet Of modern
Boston, whose citizens are everywhere
known. in other cities as the bean eat

prone to take in animal flesh were

Mr.. DANA DIED RICH
Left Estate Valued Conserva-
lively at 100000.
HIS WILL PROVES IT UNINCUMBERED
1t Is Estimated That During the De-
ceased Editors Management OF the
New York sun He Made Almost
s2.OOO,OOO out OF 1t.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE Will Of
Charles A. Dana, offered for probate in
Jamaica, N. Y. shows that he left prop
erty valued at between sl.OOOOOO and
Sl,25O000. This. with the exception of
his stock In The Sun corporation. which
Is held in trust for the Widows benefit
is bequeathed to his widow.
The estate includes a beautiful piece
OF property or the shore OF Long Is
land sound, which stands clear of any
ineumbrance and is valued conserva-
lively at sl.OOO,OO0.
The information which the probat-
ing of the will brought out. supple
mented as it is by information which
would stand the test OF even judicial
inquiry for its accuracy" writes Mr.. E.
j. Edwards. long associated with Mr..
Dana on The Sun. in commenting on
Mr.. Dana's will, furnishes a remarka-
BILE and important refutation Of a no
tion WHICH in these days has become
somewhat prevalent. that the great
commercial development of a powerful
journal is made at the expense of its
influence as an organ of public opinion
or a leader of public thought and that
great business successes in the conduct
OF newspaper can be secured only
through a lowering Of the standard
and something Of degradation Of the
high calling"
Mr. Dana's fortune was accumulated
as the result of the business direction
of The sun in the 80 years that he was
president of the corporation. 1t rep
resents the appreciation of The Sun
stock and the accumulation of divi-
dends. 1t is safe to report that Mr.
Dana in the years of his management
beginning In 1865 and ending in 1897. re-
ceived as his share of the profits and
. as. salary not far from $1,000 900.
This is vastly different showing
than that many have been led to ex-
pect by stories widely circulated since
Mr. Dana's death. In discussing these
reports Mr. Edwards writes:
THE most conspicuous, as it is the
most Inaccurate of all the reports
which have found their way into print
since Mr.. Dana's death is one in which
It is said that the estate Of Mr. Dana
is heavily mortgaged
But when an examination was made
of Mr.. Dana's estate and of his busi-
ness obligations and relations in every
direction il was discovered not only
that Mr.. Pierpont Morgan had loaned
no money to Mr.. Dana upon his stock,
but that nobody else had done that
thing in the interest of The Sun news
paper. The stock was absolutely owned
free Of incumbrance, and it goes to his
estate without obligation of any kind

y The fond papa found the steelyards
and was weighing the baby when Mrs
Simpson. the nelghbor, arrived. Thai
good woman did not say anything. bul
neither of her two infants had been
weighed. Mr.. Simpson knew that babies
and fish should never have their weight

about either when not confronted by

Baby was bowling in a most unmelo-
dious manner, but this did not inter

He was hooked up by a band which
gave him a good equipoise, and he
squirmed with vigor while his devoted
relatives held out their arms TO save
him in case Of fall and while his proud
father adjusted the counterpoise slides
on the arm of the steelyards.
Suddenly the parents face clouded

chorus of blessings on its precious head,
and the steelyard recorded two pounds
more. How 10 was done will never be
known unless Mrs. Simpson lent help

the new father insisted on the baby
being clothed. and he ran the counter
poise up to nine and declared IL was the
naked truth. And the fact was record

French Physician Says Rural PcO-
pie Suffer Most from Cancer.
A medical student, before he can
begin active service in France. must
write a treatise on some medical sub
ject which win be approved by the gov
ernment experts, says the Kansas City
Journal. DR.. Noel, who recently oh.
tanned his diploma. wrote a treatise on
cancer, which has attracted the atten
tion of scientists. According TO bis
opinion cancer is due TO vegetable
germs, which infect the human sys
tenn, either through manual contact or
through absorption or Inhalation Of
the poison with water or food. Ac
cording to statistics cancer prevails
more in districts surrounded by for
ests and along the banks of rivers than
in places where vegetation is scarce
DR.. Noel began careful investigation
around his home at Lyons. Birch. elm
and willow trees predominated lie
tested the sap from thousands of these
trees and in n score Of specimens found
cancerous germs. A dog. inoculaied
with these, in few days showed every
symptom Of cancer. DR.. Noel states
that the percentage of deaths from
cancer is much greater among persons
whose business IL is TO handle wood
and vegetation than those employed in
trades where wood is not used.

Alaska AND rAs YUKON.
From sea TO Sea by Crossing only
Thirty Miles OF Land.

Thirty Miles OF Land.
Alaska is a most difficult country for
travelling even in the only availah.s
short season of its arctic summer, there
being no roads; and even Indian trails,
on account of the small number of ma
tives, are very rare, says Outing. The
surface Is rough, being traversed by
many ranges of mountains. Even in
the more level portions travel is hin
dered in the summer by the wet moss
which grows kuee deep. and by the
insect pests; in the winter it is made
impossible by the intense cold. In view
OF all these difficulties, the peculiar re.
lation of the Yukon river 10 the coast
is such that one might fancy nature
had arranged It especially for high
way through this inaccessible interior.

obstacles she has put in-his way.
The headquarters of the network OF
streams that ultimately drain into the
Yukon river fortunately lie within 30
miles Of the sea, just on the northern or
inland side Of a range Of mountains
which runs along the southern coast OF
Alaska. From this point the river flows
north away from the sea. far toward
the Arctic ocean; then, suddenly
changing its mind. turns west; and
finally, after traversing the whole width
of Alaska, arrives at the Behring sea.
