Annual Banquet.

The members of the New Century
club deviated from their usual Gus
tom of holding their annual banquet
in some nearby hostelry, but instead
observed the occasion on Friday
last, as guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Gus
tbs Fenton, at their delightful home
in Mogadore. Flowers in variety
and profusion greeted the guests at
every turn. The absence of all form
ality proved an enjoyable feature,
while the pleasant ride, the gallant
host, the charming hostess, the ap-
petizing menu, the thorough socia-
bility, the cheering songs, the old
mill sights, the pottery wonders, the
mingling of friends, the soul-stir-
ring music, were all delights which
blended into a day long to be remem-
bered by club women-a fitting end
of the club year.

Peas for Family Use.

1t Is necessary TO make several plant
ings of peas to have Il succession for
the table during the season. OF course
the earliest should be planted first
and the very earliest of all should
not be one of the sweeter wrink-
led varieties, as these will often
rot in cold, wet soil from the
amount of water that they will
absorb. But the wrinkled avrie-
ties when they come are so much
sweeter and better that they spoil the
other for use. The peas not wrinkled
should be used while they are
small and tender. When they at
tain full size 1t will be impOssi-
BILE to cook them soft. One of
the early and one later variety of
wrinkled peas should be planted about
the same time when the ground gets
warm enough. The planting may be
kept up till nearly June, though later
planted peas are apt to mildew, and
at the time they are ripe there is such
variety of other vegetables and fruits
that we do not care SO much for the
peas.

High Speed on French Railroads.

OF late years, few of the French
railroads, notably the Chemin de Fer
du Nord, have been paying particular
attention to their express train service,
with the result that the last named
now holds the leading place, running
several of its crack trains at an aver
age speed, including stops, Of over 54.5
miles per hour.
OF the twenty-five expresses that are
booked to run at n speed of over %
miles an hour there are six, including
one between Amiens and Calais Vile,
1922 miles, with a speed of between 90
and 500 miles an hour; seven
between 51.1 and SIS miles an
hour; seven between $40 and 52.7
miles an hour, and five having
respective speeds of 54.5, 54.S,
55.3, 56.3, and ST. miles an hour, in
Guiding stops; the last-named run is
made between Paris and Amiens, S1A
miles, while the average of 56.3 is
maintained on a continuous run, with
out stop, between Paris and St QUEEN
tin, a distance of 59A miles.
What splendid service this is will
be understood when we bear in mind
the fact that the five fastest trains ex-
coed the speed of our own Empire State
Express, which Is timed to run from
New York to Albany at the rate of
53.5S miles an hour, though they do not
equal the Atlantic City flyer on the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad

A SOFT step caused him to turn. The
beautiful form of Marie approached
nearer. He reached out his hand, and
the girl drew back as the thin, feverjsh-
| ~ hot fingers almost crushed ner soft
hand. The grasp Of those slender fin
gers felt to her touch like the clasp of
a band of steel; the very touch sent the
blood back from her heart, and her
lovely face grew pale as lily.

one" And he bowed and passed into
the ball room.
Marie's eyes dilated with horror as
they followed the tall, elegant form of
Don Jose. She saw him bow to Ste
venson. Horror of horrors! She saw
their hands meet! She covered her face
with her trembling hands and crouched
down among the beautiful flowers to
hide the fated scene from her sight
And then scream, a mans mad cry,
came to her ears. She dashed the palms
aside and peered into the ball room.
Upon the floor, writing as though in
the pangs of mortal agony, was Don
Jose. Kneeling by his side, and trying
to relieve him, was the fair faced
Northerner.
One more convulsive struggle to
catch his breath, to choke back the
strange thing that was crushing his
heart, numbing his brain and binding
his eyes, and the Peruvian rolled over
upon his back and was dead.

ODD VIEWS OF POLICE DUTY.
People Who Want Postage Stamps, Ice
Water, Door Keys and Money.

'It's easy to criticise the police de-
partment," said n sergeant in the back
room of n station-house, but the gen.
eral public has no idea of the many
different things we have to do and of
the annoyances to which we are sub
jected. When was on duty in some
Of the south side precincts people used
to come to the station and ask for the
queerest things. Hardly a day went
by that some one didn't come around
and ask for postage stamps, while in
the summer time they used to come in
droves for a drink of ice water. When
he demonstrated with them, they'd
say: Vel, don't We pay taxes for de
ice, and shouldn't We drink it, what?
AS matter Of fact, the ice is paid for
by the policemen themselves, but you
couldn't make them understand it.
Zone night about 10 o'clock, when
l was on the desk, a big, stout German
came in and walked up to the rail.
Sergeant, my wife is gone out NIT
der key und am locked oudt,' he said.
cWell, / said, what can do about
it?' vi
"'Vy, sendt a policeman und make
me get in der house, dots what l
didn't spend my time arguing with
him, you can bet.
But that was not the worst case by
any means. A poor tailor living on the
top floor Of tenement down that way
committed suicide after quarrel with
his wife. The man was dead when the
ambulance came. A few hours later
the widow sent her little girl around
to the house to say that she had no
money, and unless some one helped
her out the man would have to be
buried in the potter's field. The police
are often called on in similar cases, so
the boys Clipped in all around
and raised $40. / gave that to the
child and sent her away. Soon after
it was time for roll call and another
sergeant came on duty. He was busy
writing up the blotter when the same
girl returned.
"'My mudder says can / get any
more she said.
"'WhatT said the sergeant, who had
been asleep and didn't know about the
collection.
"'My mudder says can / come
around next month an git some more
money was the reply. She didn't
get any more, and that incident was
somewhat Of damper on charity
in that particular station for quite a
while."-Chicago Tribune.

England and Fire Service.

The British towns seem to have the
smallest number of paid firemen of
any cities in Europe and America. The
London fire brigade has about 500
men, about the same number as Ber-
lin, which has only a fourth of the
population, and less than one-half the
size of the Paris corps. Glasgow has
but 100 men to 100000 population;
Leeds but 33 to 100000 people, and
Sheffield % men to population of
100000. Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff,
Norwich, Bromley, and other towns
have no separately organized Fire De-
partment, the work of suppressing
fires being performed by the regular
police force. The expenditures for fire
protection are on similarly unimpor
tant scale. Thus Leeds spends less
than $1,000 year, and Sheffield less
than $4,000 year; Preston, with a
population of $4,000, reports only ST.
500 spent for its fire brigade, and Nor
witch, with 100000 population, only
$3.50 year. A few towns. however,
show a somewhat larger range of ex-
penditures. Glasgow and Liverpool
each annually expend in the neighbor-
hood of $75,000-about 10 cents per
capita-and proportionate amounts are
expended by Edinburgh, Dublin, Bel
fast, and Stafford. The London brigade
costs about $950,000, or 20 cents per
capita. But even these exceptional in
stances are below the per capita ex-
penditures for fire protection in other
European cities Of the same size

Tire Tent Caterpillar.

We have been reminded that the tent
caterpillar was very numerous in many
places about Boston i'm Massachusetts,
last year, and asked to give methods
of destroying them, or preventing them,
from destroying the trees. These in
sects are so easily found and killed
upon the trees at any time from the
depositing of the eggs In July up to the
building of the tent-like nest In the
next spring that we consider them as
the least injurious Of our insect pests
In the orchard.
The eggs are deposited In July or Au-
gust by a brown moth about three
fourths of an inch long, and they en-
circle the twig near its outer end like
a brown band, n half inch wide or
more. These clusters OF eggs may be
found after the foliage is Off the tree,
mt any time, but we prefer to wait un-
I'll spring, when they assume a silvery
appearance, and In the morning and
afternoon, when the sun Is shining

A French Battleship's Narrow Escape.

The well known French battle-ship
Admiral Baudin was nearly sunk in
Brest harbor the other day. 1t seems
that a young sailor, interfering with
seacock below the waterline, turned it
on. The water rushed in so fast that
the sailor lost his presence of mind,
and rushed on deck. BY the time as
sistance was obtained the water had
risen so high that the cock could not
be reached, and rs the vessel had no
steam up the situation was perilous.
A steam tug with heavy pumps on
board was signalled, and, coming
alongside, set to work to pump. Other
tugs with pumps, as well as land
fire-engine and the fire brigade, came
to the assistance of the battleship. and
while all the pumps were working,
amid a scene Of great excitement, two
divers donned their costumes, went
down the hold, and turned the cock of.
The vessel had sunk two feet.-Wcst-

The Leaf of Young Grain.

There is much difference in the
breadth, size and color of leaf i'm your
grain as it comes up. 1t is partly de-
pendent on the character of the seed,
as the plant sends up its first leaves
mainly from the starchy matter which
encloses the germ and which the germ
uses until it is able to put forth roots
into the soil. Barley being larger and
heavier than oats has always broad
er leaf, though If oats are sown on rich
land and somewhat late they will come
up with leaf that looks like barley.
But this>rank growth early is not re-
garded favorably by the cultivator, for
he knows that it is liable to be fol-
lowed by rust of stalk or grain later in
the season. Narrowing grain that
comes up with too small and thin a
leaf bruises these first leaves, and as it
also stimulates root growth it causes
the plant to send up new shoots with
much broader leaves. This dries out
the soil, thus preventing the excessive
growth later that invites rust.

With hearts as soft as a mothers Groom
With hearts that withered and all too

xssse.. The Cure OF Roup.

First of all, when roup breaks out
among the chickens, isolate the sick
from the well known by hopping
swelled face and eyes, sneezing, dis
charges from nose and throat, etc.,
and in a thorough. manner fumigate
the quarters with sulphur and carbolic
acid. Every evening heat brick very
hot and on it drop ten drops carbolic
acid. This you will compel the well
ones to inhale for several minutes. 1t
is preventive. 1t is also an excellent
antidote for the affected ones.
If the birds are valuable, treat them
carefully. If not so valuable and they
are quite i'll, destroy them and treat
only the less affected ones. Peroxide
Of hydrogen, half diluted with water,
should be used on expensive birds. 1t
Is the most thorough cleanser known
and perfectly harmless as local wash
for the eyes and mouth. Use it morn
ing and evening. For constitutional
treatment, l. G., medicine to be admin
istered into the general system, the
following Is nearest a specific Of all
medicines known: Corrosive sublim-
ate grain, tincture gelesmium 1 drachm.
tincture aconite, "A drachm, tincture
lodide-arsenic, Il drachm, tincture blood
root 2 drachms, water ~ quarts. The
water should have been previously
boiled and allowed to cool before the
remedies are dissolved in it. Set this
before the sick fowls and allow them
to drink all they wish.
Let the food consist Of boiled meals
and mashed potatoes. Boil the wheat
and let all be warm except the water
they drink.
Let me assure my readers that the
above treatment is absolutely reliable.
1t must, however, be intelligently adj
ministered, as all affairs of the poultry
yard should be.-Dr. w. l.. Roth in
