TRILBY IN REAL LIFE.
Swedish Actress Loses Her Voice, but
Plays Under Hypnotic Influence.

One of the greatest marveis which
hypnotism has ever accomplished is
just now the reigning wonder in Stock
holm.
Nine. Aalberg is to all Scandinavia
the national star, but for some reason
or other the temper of her audiences
has not been of as responsive nature
as her histrionic mind craved or her
Interpretation of the different roles she
enacted warranted.
The other evening there was a per-
Torrance of "Glucl i'm Wrinkle" Suder-
mans great tragedy, at the Theater
Royal The great audience was as cold
as the ice in a Norway ford, and sud
denly, in the midst of one of the strong
est passages, Nine. Aalberg became
speechless. Not single sound could
she utter 1t was aphasia that had
seized upon her. acute and obstinate.
Then there was hurrying to and fro
Something must be done, and at once.
So DR.. Wetterstrand was called in. The
usual remedies for aphasia, which is
purely a nervous disease, were admin
;,tered, and Nine, Aalberg went to
bnp, The next morning she was
unable to leave her room.
Then an inspiration came to DR.,
Wetterstrand. Medical science had
proved of no avail, and he decided to
try hypnotism. The trial OF minds
promptly began.
In few moments Nine. Aalberg be-
gan to show evidence that the hypnotic
glance was effective Soon afterward
her mind surrendered to that of the
doctor The hypnotism was an ac-
compished fact. Next came the test
of power

Without a moments hesitation the
actress arose from the couch on which
she had been reclining. went to her
dressing-room, donned her street cos
tune, called her carriage and drove
straight to the theater

washington, FEB. S.-Today the
senate In executive session considered
the Anglo arbitration treaty
rom until $50 O'Clock. The first
half of the session was spent in debat
ing q motion introduced by Mr., Hin
dem, N. W to consider the treaty in
open session. The only vote of ,hn
day was secured on the Hill motion,
which was defeated, the count showing
only nine for 1t and forty-nine against
1t. Those casting tho nine votes were:
Messrs. Hin, Lindsay, Roach,

providing for the ahrUgatiOn " Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty and speech by the
same senator in favor of this proposi-
ton, MIR. Morgan declared that the
conditions which called forth the Clay

away. 1t was no longer binding on
either nation, ror was II of any use or
value 10 this nation, though it might
be of great imp0rtGl &C to Great Bri-
tain in case Ihe Nicaragua canal were

der consideration he said that no doubt
the question of the alrogation of The
Clayton BulSer treat" would have to
be suhmIeled to arbitration. While
this old treaty was obsolete and dlsre-
garded, vet It was still used as men
ace and buglboo to the United States

Another important amendment was
offered by MIR. Bacon dem, LAY. 1t
provides for the modification Of article
so us to relieve the southern states
from any obligations that might arise

tion days. The amendment was the
result of conference among the south

article rs 1t now stands might render It
possible to make these bonds when
held by subjects of Great Britain, an
object OF arbitration. Mr.. Bacon
sought an opportunity to address the

boraX must be pulverized and sifted
from q perforated box; it must be
placed on the flesh side and thoroughly
rubbed In, and the more surely to ex
clude air and dampness each ham
should be well wrapped in newspaper,
then slipped in a cotton sack, and it is
now ready to be smoked. Ny friend
said neighbor used the borax in this
way, and stored the harns without
sacking at all, and they kept all right.
The borax is not intended to restore
meat after it has become tainted, but
to serve as a preventive in warm
weather. When the meat is wanted
for the table, the borax can be washed
off In warm water, and the cooking &C
complished in the usual way.
Nearly every housekeeper on a farm
has to attend to the storing of the
ham some time or other, and she ought
to learn the easiest and best methods,
so If she should be left alone at any
time she would know how to superin

they are some times careless, and ia
consequence the meat is of an interior
quality. They ought to give the stor-
age of their meat special attention. as it
has to be done only once a year; and if
they take the necessary precautions
they will usually be well repaid for
their trouble.
I think one reason why so much
cured meat is bought by farmers is
that much of the home curing is Inn
properly done, and they have such
poor meat that their families ate al.
most glad when it gives out, so they
can get some that is better. It seems
absurd, though, that farmers should
grow hogs, and sell them, and after
awhile buy them back again for their
own use at a much higher figure.

AGRICULTURE.

A little neglect may seem a small
item, yet in many cases it will deter
mine the question of profit or loss.
Despite the great advantage of soil
ing crops a good permanent pasture
will elways be one of the most valuable
portions of the stock or dairy farm.
It is estimated that one third of all
children die before they are three
years old, and one of the leading causes
of infant mortality is unwholesome
milk.
To raise crop and to peddle it out
to consumers is quite business educa-
ton. Let the young man try it The
experience will waken him up and
sharpen his wits.
Diversified farming is all right, if it
isn't too much diversified. The pro
duction of three or four standard crops
is more profitable than to have the
premises resemble an agricultural
crazy quilt truck patch.
There are two ways of managing the
butter business. One is to fall in with
the development of the times and re-
ceive good prices; the other is to fol-
low your own plan and let the con,
sumner be pleased or not.
A medium hog pays the best profit,
and will bring the best price In the
market. Selling too young anj feed
ing too long are both errors to be
avoided. The man who strikes the
happy medium between these points
seldom complain that dogs do not pay.
Onions will endure freezing without
being injured, provided they remain
undisturbed in contact with the soil
thawed. Taking advantage of this,
seedsmen plant onion sets for seed late
i'm the fall, ridging the soil over them.
In the spring, when the. soil thaws,
these ridges are leveled down, when
the onion shoots burst through, send
nm their seed stalks and bear their crop
with very little work to be done by
hand. The seed is much surer and
better crop than can be had by spring
planting of the onions, which are al
ways later than those fall planted.

INSECTS AFFECTING DOMESTIC
ANIMALS.


''Insects Affecting Domestic Ami
mails: An account of the species OF i'm.
portance in North America. with men
tion Of related forms occurring on other
animals, by Herbert Osborn, Professor
OF z oology and Entomology, Iowa Ag-
cultural College, Ames, Iowa, (Bulle-
tin No. 5, new series. Division of Ento
mology) j." lately issued by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture discusses ''particu
larly those insects which, by direct at,
tack upon domesticated animals, ren
der themselves an injurious element to
the stock breeder, poultry raiser, and
keeper of various animals for pleasure
or profit"
Each species is treated as fully as
possible, it's past history, extent of in
jury, habits, and life history being
given, and, fiually, methods of prevent
ing or relieving its injuries are de-
scribed.
In order to furnish convenient key
to the different species and enable the
different forms occurring upon one ami
NAL to be seen together, a table has
been arranged according to animals in
tested and to offer some means of re
lief to those whose stock may be in
tested, chapter is devoted exclusively
| to discussion of remedial measures,
methods of prevention, and notice of
animals which have parasites in com
mon.
| This last chapter is to the practical
stock breeder the main point on which
information is desired, although it is
most important for him to know the
extent the insect can be injurious, the
time and manner of its attack, and the
animals it may affect.
To prevent is frequently much easier
than to remedy, and If careful stten.
tion lie given to the matter practical
immunity for the herd may be secured
from many of the pests enumerated in
the bulletin. This is true Of all pests
incapable of flight even il other herds
in the neighborhood are infested, and
especially is this true with internal
parasites which are difficult to reach
when lodged.
Remedial treatment is to be given il
| one Of two forms, j. e., repellant or de
structive, the first being by means Of
mechanical devices, or repeling odorE
the second by the use Of substances
fatal to the parasite.
The edition of the bulletin is limited
to 1 ZOO copies, and it is not for general
distribution by the Department of Ag
riculture; copies, however, can b
secured from the Superintendent oi
Documents, Union Building, Washing
ton, D. c., for 20 cents.

TAKING CARR OF HAM.

There are great many housekeepers
who think because a ham is a country
ham, that it must naturally be sweeter
and better than any other; but have
found as much difference in country
ham as in country butter. Some farm
ers don't put away their meat proper
ly; and a great deal is lost from this
cause; whereas, if little care had
been taken, they might have been
saved, and made delicious meat.
While visiting in the country re-
Gently, friend told me of a method
which she tried last year, and found
perfectly satisfactory in every way !;
and readers of the Farmers Voice who
have never used it will find it to their
advantage to give it a trial. In the
first place, the weather must be duly
considered, as it has great deal to do
with it. When the meat is taken from
the salt box, the weather should be
cool, clear and dry, and a cold wind
blowing from the north. After the
meat has taken the salt, or has been
properly cured by any of the usual
processes, each ham should be taken
separately and the salt scraped off as
much as possible. 1t should then be
dipped in boiling water, and while the
meat is yet damp, sprinkle it over with
powdered borax; any taint is avoided
by dusting every crevice where the fly
is likely to find resting place. The

FARMS SHOULD BIZ RUN ON FULL
TIME.

1t is important in following up this
improved agriculture that we run our
farming interests on full time. Should
the manufacturer or other business
man suspend the operations of his
work at different intervals during the
year he could not expect to make it
profitable. Nor can the farmer. On a
well conducted farm every season,
every month, every day has it's appro
pirate tasks. If these are delayed or
neglected much valuable time is wasted.
The truth is there is no other business
on earth that would stand such severe
strains as has farming, and live. There
is not a merchant, manufacturer or
mechanic in the country but would
have to "assign" if his business were
conducted as irregularly and with the
same indifference to details.

It depends upon how you propose to
sell your onions. If you wish an onion
to sell early as a green bunch onion, I
would advise you to plant in October
sets of the Early Pearl, or of the white
potato onion. Ityour object is to grow
a mature crop of onions, that will keep
for late sales, then would SOW in Feb

must be sold as soon as ripe for they

rHE UsE OF DIFFERENT PEAS.

While farmers of Alabama may be
very familiar with the many peas that
grow in this climate, but few of them
can classify the peas to their best uses.
The Georgia Experiment Station has
published bulletin, which gives some
very valuable information in regard to
different varieties of the COW pea.
Forty-six varieties were tested at the
station with the following results:
First-Tne earliest COW pea, and
hence the variety best adapted to high
latitudes, is the New Era. This ma
lures in little more than sixty days
from time of planting. Other very
early varieties are Congo, White Giant,
Chocolate and Vacuum.
Second-The heaviest yielder Of
vines is Red Ripper, followed closely
by Forage or Shinney, Black and I'm
known.
Third-Tne heaviest producers of
peas are Unknown, Calico, Clay and
White Brown Hull.
Fourth-The yield Of peas, as a rule,
though not invariably, parallels the
yield of vines.

RACE OF APPLE EATERS.

Does any one know of any good
reason why we should not be race of
apple eaters9 By this we refer to the
habit or practice of eating apples raw.
The Bulletin of Pharmacy advances
what we believe to be valuable sug-
gestion along this line of action. 1t
says: "No harm can come even to a
delicate system by eating of ripe and
juicy apples just before going to bed. "
It also remarks that the apple is rich
in phosphoric acid. What is not so
we'll known, however, observes the Ne
braska Farmer, it points out, is that it
thoroughly disinfects the mouth, ex
cites action of the liver, promotes a
sound and heaIthfuI sleep, helps the
kidney secretions and prevents calculus
growths, obviates indigestion, and is
one of the best known preventives of
diseases of the throat. These are bene
fits enough to make US all apple eaters
surely.
