age. Many instances are of record
where large corn crops orchards and
gardens have been saved in this way.
In some of the more northern states
where corn is cultivated frost frequent.
ly occurs before it is matured. In some
of the parts stakes about five feet long
are made of petroleum-sOaked peat
and set about fifty to the acre when
frost is forecast and fired along in the
night so as to enshroud the fields in
smoke before the formation of frost
The New York Sun stated that in the
fall of 1893 every man in Saratoga
county, New York, who tried saved
his crop in this way from being injured
by frost while on other farms where
nothing was done the probable yield
was reduced two-thrds, while the eX-
pense of protection was less than 80
cents per acre.
another very successful means of
protecting crops (where it can be used)
from injury by frost is covering the
earth with water Water becomes
more uniformly heated than the earth
during the day and radiates its heat
much slower at night and maintains a
higher temperature during the night
than the soil. This was used extern
sively in the cranberry districts of the
northwest few years ago. When n
killing frost was forecast the cranberry
growers flooded about one-third of the
crop, Which was saved, while the re-
naming two thirds of the crop was
killed. The value of that part of the
crop saved was about S125,000.
"The burning of oil and tar in buck
cts was found very effective in protect
ing orchards in California during the
freeze of December 1922 1897, where,
it is claimed, in one instance, to have
raised the temperature of the orchard
where 1t was used five degrees above
that of the surrounding locality. Other
means of protection We're used, such as
steam apparatus. water spraying, bas-
iets of burning coal and smudges. The
value of the fruit saved from damage
in California by means of protection
during this freeze is estimated at APP
proXimately $1,000,000.
81 have recently noticed in paper by
Mr.. Stringfellow reference to rec
concentration relative to withdrawing
trees. This is an excellent suggestion.
A white object will absorb much less
heat than a dark one and will radiate
its heat less rapidly. The delay in
putting forth of foliage is not the only
benefit which can be derived from this,
but in case of cold weather the tree,
being white, will not cool so rapidly as
if it We're dark. "-Galveston News.

Ahey AAhu lhelF Virgin
of King Pepin of France.
So far as the present writer is aware
the earliest mention OF 'liveries" made
in history was during the reign of
King Pepin of France, who flourished
about the year $50 A. D., says London
Society. A form Of amusement to
which King Pepin was partial was
what were termed cours plenieres.
These were assemblies at which, upon
the kings invitation, all the lords and
courtiers Of France were expected to
be present. They were held twice each
year-at Christmas and Easter-and
generally lasted for about a week at
each time. Sometimes these gather
ings took place at the kings palace,
sometimes in the nelghborhood of one
of the larger French cities and some
times in some rural district, while the
festival lasted the king took all his
meals in public, bishops and dukes
alone being privileged to sit at the
royal table. A second table was pro-
vided for abbots counts and other
leading men, and at both tables there
was shown more profusion than deli
cacy, both in the quality of the meats
and drinks and the manner in which
they were served. Flutes, hautboys
and other musical instruments were
played before the bearers of each
course as it was removed from the ia
bles. When dessert was served, twen-
ty heralds, each holding aloft jew
eled goblet, shouted thrice, "Largesse.
largesse from the most potent of
kings!" AS they shouted they scat
tered among the crowds handfuls of
gold and silver coins. Then the trum-
pets were blown, while the better
class of spectators shouted and the
meaner sort scrambled and often
fought vigorously for the morey scat
tered by the heralds. Charles VII. of
France put final step to the cours
plenieres, alleging that the. expense at
tendant upon his wars with England
made it impossible for him to continue
them. One of the severest causes of
expense. 1t was explained, arose from
the fact that, beginning with King
Pepin's time, etiquette and custom
alike demanded that the king should
upon these occasions give an entire
suit of new and gorgeous clothing not
only to his own servants and retainers
but also to those of the queen and
all the princes of the blood royal.
These garments were said to be livres
that is, delivered" at the kings ex-
pense-and from this word the English
word livery was derived, as was the
custom of providing servants with civ
cry" from the mentioned prac-
tice of certain of the French kings. e

HINTS FOR SMOKERS.


Never Smoke Before breakfast or When
the stomach Is Empty.
Generalarzt DR.. Shoer publishes in
the Centralblatt eur Gesundheitsphege
a collection of Hints for Smokers"
which are founded, as the doctor states,
upon his professional observation for
many years of the mouth, teeth. stom-
ach, lungs, heart and skin of the de-
votee of tobacco. The first and fore
most rule is never to smoke before
breakfast, nor, as a rule. when the
stomach is empty; this custom is the
worst possible foe of digestion. Never
smoke during any exertion of great
physical energy, as dancing, running,
cycling, Notwithstanding, or rowing
and especially II in a contest. Never
follow "the bad customs of the French
and the Russians" by allowing the
smoke to pass through the nose; never
inhale it through the nose. Keep the
smoke as far as possible from the eyes
and nose; the longer the pipe the bet
ter; the use of a short pipe during
work is to be avoided. A pipe is the
most wholesome form of smoking,
cigar the next, a cigarette the worst.
Always throw away your cigar as soon
as you have smoked four-ffths of it;
the last end of 1t is the most hurtful,
in cauda venenum, the poison turks in
the tail. All cigarettes are bad, but
eastern cigarettes the worst, for they
are almost always compounded with
some degree of opium. The smoker
ought to rinse out his mouth, not only
before every meal and before going to
bed at night, but several times during
the day The best rinse for the smok-
er is a glass of water in which a tea
spoonful of table salt has been dis
solved. II should be used as a gargle
at night and care should be taken that
every cavity in the teeth is well washed
with it. The pipes proper place is in
the hand and only occasionally in the
lips or teeth.

Strawberries, cabbage, mustard, let

and about fifty crates of vegetables
We're shipped from Hitchcock to the

A cigar factory has been started at
Shepherd by Colonel z. B. Smith, and
this has given an impetus to tobacco,
which will insure the planting of sew
eral hundred acres in the county.
For two years the peach and plum
crops have been failures at Alvin, but
this season the trees have set full
quota of fruit. The curculio is very
troublesome and only by proper spray
ingscan good fruit be matured.
The new suction dredge just COM
pleted at Beaumont for Clark x Co.
was lowed down to the Port Arthur
ship canal last Thursday and will be-
gin work the first of the week cutting
in the canal toward deep water. over
three miles of the canal is now COM
pleted to Il depth of eighteen feet.
The rainy winter and contiued wet
weather at Shepherd, San Jacinto
county, is having depressing intiu-
ence on farming. There is less corn
planted and less land broken in that
county than ever before at this season
of the year. Without doubt, less cot
ton will he planted than heretofore, but
what the proportion will be 1t Is impos-
sible at this date to determine. Many
farmers will plant tobacco, experiment
ally on small scale.
Captain Dunovant of Eagle Lake ad-
dressed the planters at Wharton Sat
urday afternoon in the interest of
sugar raising. Captain Dunovant has
large interests in this county and has
had wide experience in the production
of sugar cane and is a recognized au-
thority ON the subject. Captain Dunno
want said that caney lands could be
made to yield from fifteen TO twenty
tons per acre and would net the pro-
Queer $75 per acre. The speaker paid
his respects to the single gold standard
and said that it stood between the cane
field and the sugar factory. The speech
was Enthusiastically received and will
doubtless stimulate the interest in
sugar cane production
