Problems of the American Farmer.

In times of depression, or when
competition has grown too heavy, the
cultivation of certain staples may cease
to be remunerative, and the unfortu-
nate producer is compelled to diver
sify his agriculture, or adopt some
other means of livelihood.
Just such misfortune has over
taken many farmers in the United
States within the past few years.
Within two years, in fact, wheat has
been drug in the market, while corn
has been cheaper in some sections
than coal, and cotton is now so low
that it hardly pays to grow it, without
considering tho necessity, for the
Southern farmer, of competing against
the seventy-fve thousand bales of
Egyptian cotton which enter our ports
in year. Confronted with these con-
ditions, there never has been time
when farmers were more anxious to
discover new paying crops. Among
the possible new rural industries that
have attracted the attention of the
agricultural class is that of fiber pro-
duction, though the growth Of certain
kinds of fibers in past time has been O
source Of income to the country.
Already there is widespread interest
in the subject throughout the West
and South, and farmers ere only seek
ing information regarding the particu-
lar practice involved in the cultivation
OF flax, ramie, and other fbers, cost
of production, market, ETC., but many
are asking where the proper seed can
be secured with which to make start.

The PIgtaii in Politics,

The report that the immediate
cause Of the recent assumption OF
power by the Empress Dowager Of
China was an impending imperial
edict ordering officials to do away
with the queue aud adopt foreign
dress, recalls the fact, not generally
known, that the custom of wearing the
pigtail is Of comparatively recent date
in Chinese history. The ancient
Chinese wore their hair long and
bound upon the top of the head, and,
taking pride in its glossy black, called
themselves 'the black haired race. ~
The pigtail in it's origin was not a
Chinese. but Manchu method of
dressing the hair, and it has only
been worn in the middle kingdom
since the commencement of the pres
ent dynasty. When, in 1927, WI San
Kwei, the Chinese Imperial Com.
mauderiu- Chief, rendered his formal
allegiance to the young Manchu
Princes, whom he called in to quell
an insurrection, and who stayed to
found dynasty, one Of the. condi-
tions stipulated was that the Chinese
should adopt the national costume of
the Manchus, including the plated
queue, on penalty of death, as u sign
of allegiance. The enforced adop-
tion of the pigtail was the cause of
much friction at first, but it was in
sisted upon, and now it is considered
by all alike as one OF the most scared
characteristics of "the black haired"
people, and thus the fashion begun by
compulsion is now followed by choice.
1t is, indeed, strange irony of fate
that the present Emperor should give
offense by his attempt at doing away
with a custom which his ancestors
had imposed upon the unwilling
Chinese as sign of subjection to
their Manchu conaucrors. London

Mrs. siGsbee Tells of the Cat That Sur
vived the Explosion,

Mrs. Charles D. Sigsbee, wife of the
commander of the Maine, writes of
"Pets in the Navy" in St. Nicholas.
Mrs. Sigsbee says:
Almost everybody has heard OF
''Tom," the cat that was found ON the
superstructure of the Maine after the
explosion. Tom was wounded in one
foot, and was doubtless feeling very
blue indeed, with his favorite sleeping.
place destroyed, no friendly hands to
minister to his wants, and nothing but
water and ruin on every side! How
glad he must have been to hear voice
that he knew, and to be taken on board
the U. s. S. Fern, in Havana harbor!
A few days after, he was placed upon
chair to have his picture taken. This
chair was large wicker arm char
which was saved from the wreck of the
Maine. Tom sat in 1t, and tried to
look pleasant, as the photographer
told him. He felt peaceful, his foot
was well, he had just eaten his iavorite
meal of fish, and the first pose was o
success. A second was attempted.
Tom was almost asleep, and looking
very happy, when Cruiser" the
FERNS dog-a big, rough fellow with
loud bark and sharp white teeth
came near. Tom arched his back like
q contortionist at circus. His tail
swelled and the fur stood out till it
seemed twice its natural size; and SO
the second picture was taken.
Tom is quite q navy cat. He was
brought on board the Maine by on Of
ficer who took him from the U. S. S.
Minnesota, where he had been I don't
know how long. If Tom is still on
board ship, he must feel very fright
ened when the big guns are fired, and
I fear his tail will become permanently
large, and his back a continual bow!
However, Bruiser left the U. S. s.
Fern after while, and appeared on
board the st. Paul, at Philadelphia.
He was plucky, lively fellow, full of
fun, and no respecter of persons. He
would just as soon rush into the cap
tein's cabin as into the galley. Poor
Bruiser! He was only cur, although.
while he was puppy, he concealed
his plebeian pedigree. In a short
time, however, he showed his cur-like
qualities, and was sent on shore.

OUR UNCROWNED RULERS

Give the children roasted apples 70
eat frequently and as many oranges
as they want.
How long should a child remain in
bath? This must, of course, depend
upon circumstances; the time must be
varied according to the age of the
child. For the first four cr five weeks
of an infants life it should not be
kept in beyond three or four minutes,
and the duration must. be gradually
prolonged as the child grows older un-
til it extends to quarter of an hour,
a period which may be allowed after
1t has attained the age of 8 years.
When the baby pol1es an inquirins
finger into the fire or tumbles against
a hot steam radiator a quick way to
relieve his shrieks is to cover the
burned surface with baking powder
till a preparation Of equal parts of
linseed oil and lime water can be ap-

white Of an egg or pure lard will re-
lieve the agony. Burns caused by lime
or lye or an alkall of any sort should
be treated by vinegar or lemon juice;
ourns caused by acid should be treated
with water and moist earth.
There are households in which the
children are scarcely permitted to
speak above their breath. This is not
at all right. In the home there should
oe freedom of speech. Children should
be encouraged to express, in a modest
way, their opinions before their par
ents and to come to them for advice
and counsel in all their difficulties and
dilemmas. II this course is pursued
they will not be likely to take any
serious steps in after life without either
consulting the old folk at home or ap-
plying the home standard of propriety
to whatever enterprise they may have
in view.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY,

Do not begin long journey until
some breakfast has been eaten. After
taking warm drink do not go i'm
n diately out into the cold and do not
drink anything hot Immediately as
you come in cut Of the cold.
To soften nails, rub the following
preparation well into them each night
and sleep in gloves: Lanoline, one
ounce; vaseline, half-ounce; olive oil,
ten drops. The hands should always
be washed in warm water and the nails
polished with a leather.
The upper part of the arms of a wo-
man should be large, full and well
rounded. The forearm should not lie
too fat. A dimple at the elbow is
very desirable. Correctness of form is
not the most necessary thing for a
good arm. The owner should also
possess the power of expression and
here is a word Of advice-the slowest
movements are always the prettiest.
People are most likely to catch cold
in the back than they are generally
aware of and if neglected may prove
O serious matter. The back, especially
between the shoulders, should always
be kept we'll covered and never lean
with your back against anything that
is cold. Never sit with your back in a
direct draught and when warming it
by the fire do not continue to keep the
back exposed to the heat after it has
become comfortably warm. To do so
is debllitating.
The woman who wishes to retain the
beauty of her face should forego the

sniff taken from the bottle causes the

ODDS AND ENDS,

A cycling firm In Cologne has patent
ed a new bicycle bell, in which is con-
cealed a kind of revolver, which is to
serve the double purpose of frighten-
ing away vicious dogs and cheeky
tramps. BY merely pressing a button
attached to the side of the bell ten
cartridges can be fired off in succession,
these giving such loud report that
obnoxious persons and animals would
not think twice of beating a hasty re-
treat.
Machines for treating coffee, used
in Brazil, are made in the United
States, but require improvements in
view of local conditions. thus the
coffee driers are very unsatisfactory,
and the inventor of thoroughly ef-
fective drier would reap a fortune in
Brazil. Driers as now made use too
high temperature, and the product
is not uniform. 1t seems the solution
of the problem would lie in the use
of comparatively low temperatures and
of an exhausting pump.
A student of Spanish annals has add
ed an interesting chapter to the his
tory Of prices by revealing from the
archives of the Escurial what it cost
to discover the new world. The sti-
pends of the discoverers, at all events,
did not amount to much. The pay of
an able seaman was only, it seems, 10
francs month, while captain drew
only so francs, or about 3 guineas,
month AS for Christopher Columbus
himself his earnings were at the rate
of 1000 francs, or 1920, per annum.
Even in Spain salaries have risen
since those days.

He Knew How to Advertise.

An original form of advertisement
ccmes from Russia, where a shop
keeper posted up the following an
nouncement:
"Tho reason why I have hitherto
been able to sell my goods so much
cheaper than anybody else is that
am bachelor, and do not need to
make profit for the maintenance of a
wife and children. 1t is now my duty
to inform the public that this advan.
tage will shortly be withdrawn from
them, as 1 am about to be married.
They will, therefore, do well to make
their purchases at once at the old
rate"
The result was that there was such
a run on the shop that in the course
of a few days this shopkeeper had
made enough money to pay the ex.
penses of his wedding on very lavish
scale.--Sketch.
