Shyness in Children.

Excessive shyness in children is not the
outcome of cowardice or willfulness, nor
should it be either sternly reproved or
allowed to grow into morbid timidity. A
small boy or girl who stands utterly con-
fused and dumb before strangers is the
victim, not of stupidity. or bad
temper, but a painful. nervous weak
ness that creates the liveliest distress,
and ought to be overcome by infinite ma
>ternal care. To prove that the child is
subject to All uncomfortable weakness
feel it's too moist hands, cold finger tips
and quick heartbeats, and accordingly
never push it into a group of unfamiliar
grown folks to receive kindly greetings,
nor frown ominously when it trembles

er, on the other hand, relax in steady eff
forts to accuston it to strangers. Al

Care of Potatoes in Cellars.

There are many dangers of injury to
potatoes kept in cellars. That of being
frozen is when it happens the worst, but
it is always guarded against. so that no
caution is needed about that. Much
greater is the likelihood that the potatoes
arc kept too warm. and especially if they
are piled in bins. Some warmth comes
always from potatoes thus massed. and
those in the bin will be untouched by
frost even when a film of ice will form
over water set in vessels on the floor,
or the potatoes left outside the heap have
been frozen 1t is doubtless the warmth
developed by sprouting the potato that
creates the warmth that protects the
mass as it slowly rises through it. When
it is seen that potatoes are beginning
to sprout. they should be removed and
the larger sprouts be broken off. Those
that are meant for seel ought never to be
put in Il mass, unless in a pit outside of
doors. and then they should be got out
and exposed to air and light so soon as
the weather begins to grow warm.

Caring for the Brood Sows.

In order to produce frst-class pigs c2e

writes w. Il. Spicer, in American Swine
herd. They should be in good, healthy,
thrifty condition when they are bred.
They should have bulky feed, not dry
corn alone. They should have the run
of grass pasture whenever there is
grass for them. Through the winter
they SHOULD be fed shorts Stops with

upset his calculations is more likely to be
made keeping fattclring hogs and other
animals after the time that they are

The Unlucky Thinteen.

Why is thirteen considered an unlucky
number? 1t is generally supposed that
the superstition originated in the number
Of those who were present at the Last
Supper, when Christ foretold His own be-
trayal and death. This, however. did not
present form. The original idea was that
out of thirteen who sat ut meat together
one must be traitor. Then came tho be-
lief that one of the number representing
Christ was always doomed to be be-
trayed. Finally, all that remained was
the superstition that one of the thirteen
must die before the next assembling of
the same company. and even this has now
worn into a vague notion that thirteen is
an unlllcky number.

Governor Would Like to Get
RID Of State Board.

From a statement made by Cover.
nor Elierbe yesterday no more doubt
can remain that he, heartily as any
one else, disapproves of the dissen-
tions in the State board of control.
The governors utterances are intend
ed to show the people Of the State
that he has washed his hands
of the whole muddle into which the
State bcard. has fallen.
Yesterday he said +: 81 have been
getting letters from friends of the
dispensary residing all over the. State
concerning the actions of the State
board of control Some have asked
for the removal of the members of
his board While I disapprove OF
the chickering's and dissentions of the
board and of their bad management
of the dispensary, | just want to say
that | am powerless to remove"
Governor ElIerbe than went on to
say that the Legislature which elected
the members Of the board was the
only power which could re- owe them.
This being true. the on thing left
that the governor could do would be
to accept the designations of the
members. And when Governor El-
Ierbe said this he spoke as though he
wished the designations Of all five
members were lying on his desk at
that instant so that he could begin
then and there to accept them.
The governor then went on to say
that be would not have made such a
statement as this had he not felt If
obligatory upon him. When he be-
came governor, he said, be promised
to give fair and impartial admins
tration of the dispensary law. He
had tried to do so, but his efforts had
been thwarted by the never ending
wrangle of the State board He
could not remove the members and
SO was poweress to fulfill that prom
ise. Their contentious, he continued,
was causing the people to lose faith
in the dispensary law, in his promise
of fair and equitable management
of the dispensary, and finally in his
administration
In conclusion he said that while he
could not stop the members of the
board from quarreling, yet be could
lie: the people of the State know woo
are TO blame.-State, July 6.
