Encouraging stnti.tIc,.

The Baltimore and Ohio officials are very
much pleased with certain statistics that
have recently. been prepared of the per
formance of freight trains on the Second
division, which handles all the east and
west. bound traffic between Baltimore and
Cumberland. Before the new freight en.
gines were purchased, and the improvements
made in the track in the way of straighten-
ing curves and reducing grades, the average
number of cars to the train was % l-2 Scw,
with more powerful and modern motive
power and better track, the average is 40
cars per train, an increase of Al per cent.
The average east bound movement per day
for the first ten days of August was l23
loaded cars. On the Third division, Cum
berland to Grafton, where there are grades
of l25 feet to the mile, the engines used to
haul 10 l-2 loads To the train. Now the
average is 25 % loads per train, an increase
of 81 per cent. 1t would certainly appear
that the money spent in improvements or
the b, and o. is being amply justified. and
that the cost of operation is being very ma
teTially reduced

Origin of Potato Bugs.

The Colorado potato beetle receives
its common name from the fact that its
native home was at the eastern base of
the Rocky mountains, where it fed up
on species of wild potatoes quite COM
mon 10 this region, known as the Sand
bur (Solanum rostratum). 1t was col
lected there and described by Thomas
Say. III 1924, 1t was first mentioned as
an injurious insect in 1859 when some
of the early settlers of western Nebras-
ka reported it feeding in large num-
bers upon the Irish potato. We thus
see that the species changed its food
from wild to cultivated plant, as has
been the ease with many of our iniur-
ious insects.--Farmers' Review.

WOMAN AND HOME.
ROSE JAR SWEETS.
Two Recipes for Making Fragrant
md Spicy POtpourri.

Two tAGchpeb TOT MAKING fragrant
and Spicy Potpourri-
Gather fresh rose leaves in thorough
fly dry weather and place them in a
large, covered, glazed, earthenware jar.
Between each layer of leaves sprinkle
some common table salt and cover up
the jar tightly ~fter each layer of leaves
is put in il Do this throughout the
summer. TIE rose leaves will sink and
allow of great quantity being put in.
When the jar is full let it stand for
about fortnight, then thoroughly
squeeze the leaves from the salt with
the hand, and add the following: One
ounce each of storaX and benzoin, two
ounces of orris root and one ounce of
allspice-all these to be we'll powdered
one dram each of bergamot, oil of cassia.
and oil of lavender, and two ounces of
cloves. Mix all these ingredients well
together and thoroughly incorporate
the same with the rose leaves. Fill
large china jars. Lavender may be
dried by itself and added to the rose
leaves; also sweet-scented petals of
the white jasmine, orange flower
blossoms, and other flowers. But these
must all be simply dried in the sun and
mixed with the rose leaves before the
scent is added. If these directions are
carefully followed the result will prove
most satisfactory.
Good Housekeeping gives the follow
Ing directions for filling a rose jar:
Take two quarts of fresh rose petals,
gathered before the sun is on them.
their fragrance being stronger in the
early morning, and gill of salt. Toss
the rose leaves lightly for one hour to
dry. Sprinkle salt on the bottom of
large bowl, add layer of rose leaves,
then salt, and so on until all are used.
Let them remain three days in some
apartment free from sunshine and un-
disturbed by the wind, stirring and
turning twice each day. Add an ounce
and half of dry allspice and half an
ounce of stick cinnamon, broken into
pieces. Let this stand for a week, stir
ring daily. Put into a permanent jar
md add the following ingredients: One
ounce of orris root, sliced thin, half an
ounce each of allspice, cloves, cinnamon,
ginger root, sliced thin, one-fourth
pound of fresh dried lavender blossoms,
the rose leaf stock, one grated nutmeg,
one-fourth ounce of anise seed. five
grains of finest Canton musk, half an
ounce of oil of rose geranium, one
fourth ounce each of the oils of jessa-
mine, lavender, lemon, verbena, musk,
violet, rosemary, and bergamot.
This mixture is warranted TO be fra
grant, and if the jar is kept tight will
last for years, though from time to
time little lavender or orange-fower
water or any nice perfume may be
added. When it is desired to perfume
a room, open the jar for little while,
and the apartment will soon be as fra
grant as a garden of roses.

TREATMENT OF HIVES.
An Annoying AiIment which AfHicts
Children in Summer.

About this time of year children are
apt to be troubled more or less with
hives. Usually they are not a menace to
life, but they are great discomfort to
the child and its mother. All are IA
miliar with this condition so t need
not be described at length. They sud-
denly fash out or seemingly healthy
skin and as suddenly disappear. They
are at first of pink ish red color, soon
changing to deep red If rubbed they
become surrounded by whitish ring
which has given to them the appropriate
name 'wheals." They are intensely
itchy and almost drive n child frantic.
The most urgent indication is 10 allay
the irritation; this may be done with
varying degrees of success with various
applications. A favorite remedy is a
saturated solution of bicarbonate of
soda-ordinary baking soda. Possibly
a better remedy is pulverized boracic
acid dissolved in glycerine or cosmo-
line and lightly rubbed over the surface
A remedy have used with satisfaction,
though it has very disagreeahle odor,
is a solution of carbolic acid. n tea
spoonful to a pint of water, the mix
ture to be shaken for IS minutes to get
the acid thoroughly broken up. A good
authority gives these directions for the
relief of this affiiction. Wash the child
with soda water, then dip the finger in
castor oil and bathe each individual
hive, rubbing the oil well into the skin.
The cause of hives is generally found
in the digestive tract, SO the diet and
bowels should be carefully looked to.
One of the saline purgatives should be
given to carry off any undigested mate
rial that may be present, then all rich
and heating foods should be withheld.
The child should be kept us still as
possible to avoid overheating the
blood.-Home Monthly.

THE FARMING WORLD.
POULTRY IN ORCHARDS.
Fowls DO Good Service in Two Very
Distinct WAYS.

Fowls DO Good Service in Two Very
Distinct Ways.
Mr.. Tegetmeier, the famous English
authority on poultry, in commenting on
a report of the Rhode Island experiment
station regarding the value of fowls to
orchards, says: For many years have
advocated the introduction of poultry
into apple orchards, maintaining that
they do good service, in two very dis
tinct modes-first, by manuring the
ground, and, secondly, by the destruc;
tion of insects and grubs that hiber-
nate in the soil.
The apple maggot appears to be eX'
tending in America, attacking the favor
tie Baldwin, which is so well known
as being imported largely into this
country, and rendering it entirely UNI
fit for use, but the spraying the trees
with Bordeaux mixture and Paris green
has appeared to prevent all serious at
tncks of this insect.
In the mature state this insect is a
f'y, which deposits it's eggs in the pulp
of the apple beneath the skin. The
young maggots grow within the fruit,
which they render worthless, and when
mature emerge from the apple and go
into the ground, lying in the pupa state
beneath the surface soil among the
grass roots. Samples of the earth, six
inches square, were taken, and the num-
Der of maggots under the trees varied,
according to the size, from 900 to more
than $4,000 under each tree; the pupae
somewhat resembling kernels of wheat.
Now comes the point which was partic-
Glarly interesting to me. The expert
ment was tried as to whether poultry,
ii confined to small range and encour-
aged to scratch, would destroy these
pupae. A large movable wire fence was
placed about tree, whose fruit had
beer destroyed by insects. One side OF
the fence was raised and 80 hens were
called into the inclosure. The fence was
let down and they were confined to the
space around the tree. As soon as they
had eaten the corn they naturally be-
gan to scratch for pupae, and in the
course of three or four days il was
found that the latter had disappeared.
As these insects remain in the pupae
state from the fall of the apple TO the
following spring, when they appear, it
may be expected that next year the
number of flies breeding from the APP
pie maggot will be greatly diminished
In the localities where this plan is fol
lowed.
From personal experience, extending
over many years, can speak positively
of the advantages of allowing fowls and
chickens free range in apple orchards.
They not only manure the soil and de-
stroy all insects harboring in it, but
they find, for some weeks, a consider
able proportion of their own food-the
windfalls, which they devour greedily,
with any grubs they may contain.

A New Departure.

said the popular minister to his wife, with
look of firm determination upon his face.
Il know the public will consider me sensa-
tional, unortlrodox innovator, but some
thing must be done to fill the church and
bring me into notice
But" said his wife, Consider what an
abnormal, extraordinary and unparalleled
thing it is you propose. have never been
in favor of your discussing in the pulpit
subjects that will startle and invite criticism
from the congregation and public. Why
not confne yourself, as other preachers do,
to matters that they naturally expect from
a minister of the gospel?"
They no longer attract attention. said
the minister. ''The people now demand
something new and electrifying, and | think
have hit upon plan of discourse that will
create a furore in the religious world. l
have decided to abandon the old beaten
paths and give them something next Sunday
that will come like thunder clap upon the

wEIGHTY BRIDES.
Girls Fattened for the Matrimonial
Market of Tunis.

MARKET OF Iunls.
Throughout the empire of Morocco
and in Tunis there are villages where
the elder members of the adult popula-
ton follow professionally the pursuit
of fattening young ladies for the matri-
monial market of Barbary, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. The Moors,
like the Turks and most other orientals,
give decided preference to the moon
faced" wives over lean ones and are
more solicitous as to the number OF
pounds which their brides weigh than
about the stock of accomplishments
they possess.
A girl is put under the process of fat.
tening when she is about 12 years OF
age. Her hands are tied behind her and
she is seated on a carpet during so many
hours every day while her papa"
stands over her with matraque, or big
stick, and her mother at times pops into
her mouth u ball of couscousscu or still
maize porridge, kneaded up with grease
and just large enough to be swallowed
without the patient choking.
If the unfortunats-girld declines to be
stuffed she is compelled,so that ere long
the poor girl resigns herself TO the tor.
ture, and gulps down the boluses lest
she should be beaten.
In Brazil corpulence is also consid.
cred the essential point of female beat
ty, and the greatest compliment that
can be paid to Brazilian lady is to. tel
her that she grows fatter and faireI
every day.

getting through another college Then he
went into the ministry, because he didn't
have sense enough to practice law lie
went into the Episcopal ministry because he,
didn't have to make prayers and could steal
his sermons. Then he went out and got the
