Wonderful how sense of duty in
terferes with what had before been
a pleasure and luxury" remarked
a Third avenue man to his doctor the
other day. "When strawberries were
first on the market and selling at Ha-
vana prices, my folks just couldn't do
without them, and insisted in having
them in plenty right up to week
ago." What brought about the
changer" '"You did. When 1 told
you that my wife and three girls
were all feeling a little under the
weather, you said that it was due to
the changeable spring and, among
other things, told me to give them
plenty of Strawberries. I mentioned
it to them, and from that time to this
they have regarded Strawberries as
medicine. One quart was on the table
for three meals, and then my wife had
them stewed to prevent their spelling.
Still they did not 60, and the washer
woman finally disposed of them at one
sitting. I'll bet if you had said that
they'd better leave strawberries alone
they would have eaten half bushel
day."-Detroit Free Press.

LESSON FROM ABROAD.
How the Work of Forest Preaerva-
ton Is Carried ON Systemat-
ically in Germany.

A correspondent of the Chicago Rec.
ord tells about the way trees are
guarded in Germany. The German
government tries to keep about rs per
cent. of the land in trees, and this re-
suits in beautiful park-like forests, es-
pecially along the hills and mountains
and other rough lands that could not
be agriculturally cultivated.
There is minister of forests in the
cabinet, and the whole empire is d.
vided into districts, each one presided
over by director, who ranks the same
as colonel in the army. This man
must be graduate of one of the four
established schools of forestry in the
empire and must hold degree from a
university. Each of these districts is
again divided into smaller areas, over
which is an inspector, who ranks as a
captain, his rule extending over sew
eral townships, in each of which is a
head forester with several assistants,
all Of whom must be men educated for
this service.
These officers have charge of all the
forest growth of the country, public
and private. Parks, gardens, pleasure
grounds. streets and boulevards are
all under their jurisdiction, and not a
tree in the empire but is subject to
their dictum. They see that all public
grounds are kept in order, direct what
trees may or shall be cut, and if any
man fells a tree without being given
permission to do so he is subject to a
heavy penalty.
Every land owner must keep a GER
tain proportion of his land in trees,
which must be planted and cared for
under the supervision of the head for
ester. Fruit trees on public or pri-
vate grounds are subject to the same
close supervision.
1t might be well if some such super
vision were possible in this country,
but our only hope for forest preserva-
ton is in making it popular by con-
tinued agitation and higher education.

STORIES OF RELIEF.
Two Letters to Mrs. Pinkham.
Mrs. JOHN WILLIAMS, Englishtown,

Mrs JOHN WILLIAMS, Englishtown,
N. j., writes:
DEAR Mrs. P1NKHAM:-I cannot be-
gin to tell you how suffered before
taking your remedies. I was SO weak
that could hardly walk across the floor
without falling. / had womb trouble
and such bearing-down feeling; also
suffered with my back and limbs, pain
in womb, inflammation of the bladder,
piles and indigestion. Before I had
taken one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound I felt a great deal
better, and after taking two and one
half bottles and half box of your
Liver Pills was cured. Ifmore would
take your medicine they would not
have to suffer so much"
Mrs. JOSEPH PETERSON, 513 East st.,
Warren, Pa. writes:
''DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered with womb trouble over fifteen
years. 1 had Inflammation, enlarge
ment and displacement of the womb.

I could not lie down, for then my heart
would beat so fast I would feel as

Fat GlobuIes In MIX.

It has been estimated that drop of
milk contains about $50 900, 900 fat glo-
bules, and that they number about
2,0OO,OO0,o00 in quart of the liquid. It
is matter of common knowledge that
the size of fat globules in cows milk
varies with different cows and differ
ent breeds, and it has been estimated
that the diameter of the largest
globules is 614 times greater than the
smallest globules, the difference in vol
ume being as 244 is to 1. These details
are perhaps sufficient in connection
with matter which is of great prac-
teal interest, inasmuch as it takes a
longer time to- cream milk with small
globules as well as to churn the cream
produced therefrom, and the liquid is
also stated to cream less perfectly
than milk with large globules.

Hendricks deliberated moment.
Henri" he said, finally, II think it
barely possible that it may throw
little light on our case for me to know
something about the sort of linen your
master wore. Did he eyer wear cuffs
separable from his shirt sleeves?"
"He did, sir. It is not considered ex-
actly good form by men of fashion, but
those cuffs saved Mr.. Gielow lot of
trouble. You see, when he wanted to
give a touch to piece of work while
dressed to go out, or when he had just
come in, he could detach the cuffs in
minute. and have his hands free to
handle the brush without taking time
to get into his knockabout suit"
"Ah, see; and do you suppose, Henri,
that you could identify one of his cuffs
if it were shown to you?"
II think so, sir; I didn't mark his
things, but they were always Numbered
by the same people, and they have a
way of their own for marking the linen
of customer"
what is that?" asked Hendricks, de-
laying the hand he had put into his
pocket for the blood-stained cuff.
'SThey had different number for
each customer, sir. Masters number
has been 1886 for several years. I'll
show you. Some of his things are in the
next ROOM"
When Henri had gone out the detect
i've took out the cuff from his pocket
and examined it. He now saw what he
had hitherto regarded as a manufac-
turer's trade-mark-the very number
Henri had mentioned. Hearing the
servant coming, he quickly restored the
cuff to his pocket and indifferently in
spected the articles Henri spread on a
table.
II am fully satisfied on that point"
he said. "Now, want you to give me
all the information you can, and if
am able to bring him back he shall
know that you helped"
Bring him back?" gasped Henri, pal
ing. do you think if he was found that
it would go hard with him?

reassuringly. THE main thing now is

Hendricks gave an impatient shrug.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS,

Scarlet flowers are said to Withstand
drought better than those of other
colors.
Mimulus is very nice for the window
garden, and does not require a great
amount of sunshine.
The apple is, all things considered,
the best fruit grown, and the winter
banana heads the list.
For winter blooming hyacinths Sc
lect only the strongest bulbs. This will
apply with equal force to all bulbs, but
to hyacinths in particular.
There is probably no better goose
berry for this country than the Column
bus. 1t is very prolific and is claimed
to be absolutely free from mildew.
It is said that the odor of flowers
is antiseptic, and that during epidem-
les those who are employed where they
constantly breathe the perfume are
exempt.
Do not let the potatoes lie in the
ground undug after they are ripe. The

people can afford.-Americau Grange

he viii find remains Of Mr. Weldon Caruth-
ers-currently reported for past two weeks
to be out Of town. Detective seems to con-

finger nails manicured to sharp points.
Lampkin recalls reports Of a row between
Caruthers and Arthur Gielow, both suitors
for hand Of Dorothy Huntington, who Is
heiress to several millions should she marry
Caruthers, Internationally in case Of Car
utheFs' death. Late that night Hendricks
and Lampkin call at home of Miss Hunting
ton. Dorothy shows detective typewriter
letter, which was an invitation for herself
and aunt to occupy with Count Bantinni,
Italian nobleman. his box at horse show,
as he was called out of town by pressing
business. She recalls Gielow had expressed
before murder intense hatred for Caruthers
and believes him guilty, yet decides to help
him, and with her aunt goes to his studio.
Gielow has fed. His servant, Henri, tells
of overhearing confession to Bantinni.
Henri thought his master insane. Hen
ricks, concealed in room, hears all this.
Hendricks goes to consult Kola, an East

nv master. I never could understand
it. We always knew his peculiar sort
of ring, and master would make face
when he heard it. But it wouldn't be a
minute after they met till they would
be drinking and laughing together like
close friends"
Hendricks face changed and strange
eagerness lighted his piercing eyes.
"That was queer" he said, tenta-
lively. Then, as if weighing his next
question, he paused for two or three
minutes. Finally he asked:
did the count seem to have that scrt
of influence with anyone else?"
"He could make you do whatever he
wished, sir, and you'd never know you
did it,"
"You are joking now" said Hen-
bricks, but his eyes were blazing. Glow
do you know this?"
81 was never more serious in my life,
sir. They amused themselves one
night by making me play the fool. 1t
was this way. They called me into the
studio, and master told me they were
going to try q harmless experiment on
me, and that must pay close attention
to the count, and let nothing take MY
thoughts away. Then the count held
up something bright before my eyes
and kept shifting it about until all at
once I fell asleep, or something hap
pened, for never knew thing till
found myself lying in the corner and
the count was telling me to wake up"
"Hypnotism!" involuntarily escaped
the lips of the detective.
That is it, sir; was trying to think
what they called it."
Hendricks stood up quickly.
do you know of his ever having tried
it on your master?"
''Not to my knowledge, sir"
Hendricks went to a table, and tear
ing a leaf from a notebook he wrote
something hurriedly. When he had
finished it he folded it and gave it to
Henri.
"Take this to the Herald advertising
office" he said. ut is very important.
See that it is inserted in the Personals
in the morning paper. Be sure to have
it DONE"
II shall not fail, sir"
Henri reached for his hat and over
coat.
"Just a minute" said Hendricks,
thoughtfully. There is one other
minor point. Your master seemed to be
rather sensible about his dress. pre-
sumo he wasn't one of those fellows
who let their fngernails grow long and
have them manicured to points"
"Not him" answered Henri. Il heard
him making sport of the count for that
very thing"
Hendricks glanced indifferently out
of the window.
"Was the count-did he wear his
nails that way?"
''His fingers was almost repulsive, sir.
You may have noticed that he is almost
as dark as a mulatto and with them
long, hooked nails he was anything but
. pleasant sight. have never under
stood, as I said, how master could"

WEIGHT OF ROLLERS.
Puxxle and Annoy Inexperi-
enced Road Builders.

There ere sections of the country
which pride themselves on their ma
cadam roads but which fail to con-
struct them in scientific manner, and
do not get the results that should fol-
low such heavy expenditures as they
make. One serious fault is the lack of
proper rolling, light rollers drawn by
two or four horses being employed.
They carnot compact the stone by
such methods and, consequently, res
sort to a free use of clay for binding"
at the outset, but it soon wears and
ruts, and gets muddy with every storm.
In considering the best weight for
roller the Municipal World states the
case fairly, as follows: "a heavy road
roller is without question an indis-
pensable implement in the construc-
ton of macadam streets. Macadam
roads were, of course, built before
steam rollers were invented, but crops
were harvested before self-binders
were invented. The effect of roller in
road making is as great an advance on
the old results as is the use of the self
binder on the work of the cradle.
"There are different kinds and
classes of rollers. The horse roller
weighing six or eight tons, will do fair
~ we'll if steam roller cannot be at
forded, but the horse roller is not suf-
ficiently heavy and has to be used
much longer on given section than a
heavy steam roller to produce the best
results. The feet of the horses, in ex-
erting sufficient strength to move the
roller. sink into and disturb the road
metal, and thereby injure the shape
and quality Of the roadway. There IS
danger. on the other hand, of having
a steam roller which is too heavy. A
very heavy roller will sometimes sink
into loose soil and create mound over
| which it cannot pass. The same result
will sometimes occur with an excess
lively heavy roller on layer of loose
stone. The heavy roller is more liable,
too, to injure underground pipes,
catch basins, culverts, bridges, or dis
turb sidewalks.
"For these reasons, a roller exceed
ing ten or twelve tons in weight is fire.
quently not desirable. In districts
where the natural soil is gravelly, or
of stiff clay, heavy roller may gen
orally be operated successfully, but
some municipalities have made the mis-
take of purchasing too heavy roller
and have found it necessary to use a
light horse roller in consolidating the
subsoi! and first layers. Nor if the
stone used in the construction Of
macadam streets is of soft nature, is
a heavy roller, say of 20 tons, desirable
even in the finishing courses, as the
crushing effect has been found in some
cases to crumble and pulverize the
stone, rather than merely cons olidate
it.
"For new work, in which the dirt
foundation must be rolled, weight of
~ tons is generally the most service
able; but for picking up an old road
way and reconsolidating it or for fin
ishng new work, Is tons is better.
Where town owns only one roller it is
generally advisable to consider very
carefully the work to be done before
purchasing roller of over ~ tons
weight"

Preventins Mite. in Chee,e.

Prof. Segelcke, of the Danish state
agricultural councillors, gives the fol-
lowing for proven ting mites in cheese:
The ceiling. walls, floors and shelving
of tie curing room are whitewashed
several times until the mites are de-
stroyed. The cheese is first placed in a
brine bath for "a hours and then in the
curing room for IA days, during which
time it is wiped off daily. After IA
days it is thoroughly scraped and
washed in limewater, placed on shelves
and kept clean. If layer of Shiny
mold should again appear, the cheese
must again be scraped and washed
with lime

The ideal method of keeping seed po-
tatoes is in cold storage. Potatoes thus
kept at the Ohio station have come out

sprouting, and the vitality unimpaired.
even so late as the first of June. It is
important, however, that the tempera-
ture of the cold storage room should
not fall below IS degrees, nor should
it rise much above 40 degrees. When
cold storage is not available, sprouting
may be in some measure prevented by
shoveling the potatoes over frequently.

CLUMsYBY's LACK OF TACT.
He Had a PhilosophicM Method Of Turn-
Ing This Lack to His Own
Account.

'One of the things that have been most
helpful to me in the course of my life" said
Mr. Clumsyby,, ..has been my lack Of tact.
THIS may seem like cont radiction, but it is
really very simple.
Il have always fancied that could attend
to business for other people all right, but /
never had any tact about my own; that is,
about my personal relations with people; /
always bungle them whenever attempt to
do anything. Thus, if have msunder.
standing or difference with anybody about
anything and set about Strengthening it
out, can't possibly do it except in one way;
l have to go at it flat-footed; haven't any
more diplomacy than stone image. And,
moreover, besides being clumsy about it, I
am pretty sure to say too much; to say
things that it isn't necessary to say. In
other words, haven't'any tact at ali.
And at first this was great drawback to
me. But after awhile made discovery;
that if didn't exercise my tact shouldn't
make any mistakes by it, and, following that
course for time, came to realization of
the fact that there's great lot of things
that we run UP against in life which may
be irritating at the time, that are, however,
not worth squabbling over at all, whether a
mans got tact or not, and was sure to
make mess Of these things if tried to do
anything about them, why, don't try;
simply let 'em 60!
"And that's what I've b-sn doing now for
years, not bothering about every little trifle,
but letting the little things Co. and not both
ering about 'em at all; paying no attention
to them whatsoever. And so l have been
enabled to preserve my equanimity and
avoid all useless wear and tear; and thus my
lack of tact has finally proved most helpful
to me.
