Joy of Finding Himself No Coward,

George Redpath, sergeant in the
rough riders, whose homeis just across
the Kansas line in Oklahoma, writes
as follows from Santiago: "After that
first days battle was over 1 was the
happiest man on the soil of Cuba.
don't mind telling you that I had half
notion that I was coward. I had
taken the place of sergeant and
knew it would be awful if ran away
I didn't think would run away, but
l did have a sneaking notion that
might show the white feather some
way. When the bullets first began to
come whizz-z-z, wbizz-z-z, plunk,
tell you my heart went up into my
throat, but 1 grit my teeth, gave yell
and charged right along with the rest
of the boys. The scare was over in q
minute, and believe 1 can go into
the next battle and joke like some Of
the boys did in this one, for L know
now that have nerve enough to stay"

1t is difficult to get people to under
stand that trees can die from drowning
just as animals can. Trees feed pri-
marily by the roots, but there must be
certain amount of oxygen in the soil
to enable them to make use of the
food. Standing water prevents the ac-
tion of life-giving oxygen. A Bos-
ton correspondent refers to two large
horse chestnuts which were moved
last spring with the greatest skill, but
they died.
In the fall an examination was made
and the holes were found to be full Of
water within one foot of the surface of
the ground. The holes were really
fower-pots without the necessary
holes in the bottom to allow the water
to escape. There can be no better
lesson in gardening than to be con-
tinually rememberig why it is neces-
sary to have hole in a Aower-pot. -

From st. Petersburg come poor ac-
counts of the health of the Empress
of Russia. Very little is said about It,,
as the Tsar greatly objects to all ref
erences to the subject; but, as a mat
ter of fact, there has been cause for
some anxiety about the empress for
some time past. She has never been
very robust, and the attack of meas
les from which she suffered early in
the winter has left her painfully weak.
An English visitor writing from Rus
sia, says: "The Tsaritza looks SO fra
gile that it seems scarcely possible
that she can be the mother Of the two
exceedingly fat babies to whom she ia
so passionately devoted"

Specially Farming.

The one trouble with farmers who
are not inclined to think that mixed
farming pays, and who drift into
speciality farming, is that they fail to
go about it in the right way. Specially
farming does not mean the growing
OF single crop, nor yet the special
growing of q half dozen or more crops
on a small scale, but rather the ex-
penditure of ones full time, thought
and money on several crops in the
same line. To make specially farm
ing profitable one must first ascertain
what the soil and himself are best
fitted for, and having determined
that, push the enterprise year after
year through good and bad seasons.
Ii poultry keeping is decided on as
the enterprise producing the best re-
suits, work all branches of it, egg
production and raising broilers,
roasters and capons, but do not maize
the mistake of trying at the same
time to become II breeder of fancy
stock
Ii the farm seems best suited for
raising fruit and your inclinations are
strong in that direction, plan for sue
cessive crops beginning with straw
berries and ending with late orchard
fruits. The same with grains and
vegetables. Dairying and fruit grow
ing do not go well together, neither
do trucking or poultry raising. Go
into speciality farming on the plan
the dry goods merchant stocks his
store. He has goods for all seasons
in his line, but he does not handle
flour and pork or hay and grain with
his dry goods, Speciality farming on
the lines indicated invariably pays
profit one year with another.

A Queer Business.

Count Rocco Dianovitch has made
the getting into prison the chief busi-
ness Of his life for thirty-four of the
forty years he has lived, for the
purpose of gathering information for
a book he is anxious to write on the
subject. At thirteen he left his home
and went into Prussia, where he was
arrested for trespassing and sent to
prison for three months, working at
chair making. From that time to this
he has never been free from the de.
sire to continue his prison explora.
tions. From thirteen till he was
twenty he was in and out of more than
twenty prisons in Belgium, Prussia,
Poland and Russia. His first expert
ence of gaol life in England was in
Liverpool, which was one of the worst
he was ever in, filed with drunken
sailors from all over the world. He
stayed there six days, when he paid
his fine and got out, the first time he
failed to serve his sentence. Then he
went to Ireland, France, Spain, Italy,
Greece and Turkey, then to Egypt,
where the gaols are the worst in the
world except Australia; next to India
and Japan, and then to America,
where he remained for more than q
year, spending most of his time in
gaols and penitentiaries. Tit Bits.

Bismarck's Bravery,

Bismarck's first medal was from the
Pomeranian Landtag for having saved
a life at the risk of his own. His
groom was thrown by the stumbling
of his horse into rivers swift cur
rent, and was about drowning when
Bismarck jumped in to save him. The
man, in an insanity of fright, pinioned
his rescuer in his arms. Bismarck,
seeing he could not loosen the death
grip above water, divei, thus forcing
him to release his hold Then, seiz-
ing the now helpless fellow with one
arm and swimming with the other. he
took him safely to the bank.

Selecting Corn Seed.

The yield of corn is dependent in no
small degree on the quality of the
seed, which should be selected before
the corn is cut, having regard to the
size and character of the stalk as well
as to the ripeness and type of the ear,
When the season is especially favor
able for thoroughly maturing the ears.
enough seed to last at least two years
should be gathered, completely dried
out before the frost, and stored in q
warm, dry place. A difference of
eleven per cent. in the yield of dry
matter on two adjacent acres was noted
in favor of the crop grown from well
ripened seed over the yield from seed
grown in a wet, cold season. -Michi-

toilet as exquisite as Partisan taste

The Flavor of Eggs.

1t has been thoroughly established
that the flavor of eggs depends much
ON the food the hens have. 1t has been
found that if they are near slaughter
yard and eat large quantities of raw
meat, the yolk is Of dark color and
strong flavor. If large quantities of
milk are fed, the yolk is pale and the
egg watery and insipid to the taste
When allowed to eat much fish the
taste is oily in flavor. Any diet fed
exclusively is easily detected in the
flavor of the egg. A mixed diet gives
the most satisfactory results.
