The city Wine Out.

The city has just won Il suit in the
at st. Louis which will increase the
treasury of the county and city to til"
tune of something like one hundred
thousand dollars and at the same tim"
Il couple of tax do1ging corporations
are compelled to pay their full and
JUST proportion OF taxes.
For years the Duluth Street Rail
way company and the Duluth Gas and
Water company have evaded paying
their taxes, and by chicanery of the
most rtprehensibIe character have de-
iraudeh the county out Of thousands
OF dollars, riding rough <hod over the
laws and the rights Of the people.
The amount involved in the ease of
the Gas and Water company is abou:

The time of the purchase Of the plant
by the city pending he decision Of the
court and was the taxes delinquent for
several years. The amount of persona

CLEAN HOUSEKEEPING.
italian Bees Are Extremely Neat and
Do Not Tolerate Dirt Around
Their Hives.

One of the great points of difference
between an Italian and the common
black bee is that the Italian is good
housekeeper and the black bee is a
poor one, says Wallace's Farmer. The
Italian does not tolerate any dirty
combs or any loose chips lying on the
floor of the hive or about the entrance.
If anything gets in too big to be car
ried out, she buries it in propolis or bee
gum. Why does she keep house in this
fashion? Partly because she likes it.
like most good housekeepers, and part
ly because she doesn't want any moth
eggs to be lying about in the dust,
where the moths will lay them if they
can, and then be carried into the combs
filled with bee bread. there to hatch out
and work their way between the brood
cells and spin their webs around the
wings and toes of the baby bees. Like
most good housekeepers, the Italian is
not nervous body. She goes at it
calmly, deliberately, has level head,
and always keeps cool, while the black
bee gets alarmed, loses her head, and
runs whenever there is danger. The
black bee is saucy, irritable and cross
grained; the Italian is good-natured,
cool-headed, but when she does fight
she means business. The black bee
will buzz around, make terrible fuss,
and threaten to wipe the earth with
you; the Italian will strike you as quick
as lightning and say nothing about it.
Queer, isn't it, that there should be the
same difference between bees that
there is between housekeepers and be-
tween men; that cool-headedness and
courage and effective work should be
found in one type of bees and in one
type of men, and that slovenliness. fuss
mess, braggadocio and ill-temper
should be found in another? There are
great many things to be learned by a
little observation in the beehive.

SHALLOW CORN CULTURE.
Show the Success of the Compare
ativeIy New Method.

revolution in corn culture in Ne
braska is promised. For some years
the advocates of shallow cultivation
have been endeavoring to prove the
value of their plan, but have made lit
tie headway. At the request of a num-
Der of farmers the experimental sta
tion has been making thorough tests,
and bulletin announcing results is
oeing prepared for publication.
Four acres of land was divided into
tracts of one acre each, and each tract
was cultivated by different cultivator
fhe result showed that the acre under
deep cultivation yielded SO bushels,
while one under shallow yielded 68 and
the other two SO bushels each. The
land receiving shallow cultivation was
stirred to depth of three inches, that
receiving deep cultivation to a depth
of six inches.
The director of the experimental sta
ton says that the advantage of shallow
cultivation lies in the fact that the air
does not penetrate so deeply, and there
fore does not dry out the roots in
year WutIt bH6 IdIDIdll is DtlON uOT-
NAL. A study of the roots of the corn
plant shows that many of them would
naturally grow within three or four
inches of the surface, but when the
upper layer is dry, their source of
nourishment is shut off. Deep cultiva-
ton has the disadvantage, too, of tear
ing the roots, thereby hindering them
from securing the proper amount of
nourishment. The one thing insisted
upon in shallow cultivation is frequent
stirring to prevent a hard crust from
forming for any time on the surface.
Wherever tried, the shallow cult
waited corn this year has proved the
more vigorous, although so well timed
have been the rains that the yield is
certain to be enormous. The prospects
are such that the millions of bushels
held by spectators in cribs are being
marketed as fast as possible, although
the market has sagged some within the
month.

VALUE OF COW PEA.
Crop, Says This Writer. 1t
Has No Equal.

Capt. E. A. Wilson writes from Wash
ington in part as follows: "Farmersin
the north do not, as a rule, half appre-
ciate the COW pea as forage, feed and
fertlllzlng crop. Really, there is
nothing they can grow on the farm that
in all respects begins to equal it. and
where conditions are anything like
favorable, a good, average crop is al
most certainty. AS an upbuilder of
poor, sandy and overworked soils, it is
especially valuable. In all-round value
there is but one other legume that be-
gins to equal it, and that is the Florida
velvet bean, but for speedy growth
and early nlaturity of fruit the COW pea
stands at The head. 1t is a wonderful
nitrogen gatherer, and it is therefore
exceedingly valuable both as a green
feed and renovator of the soil. Twelve
to twenty thousand pounds of green
forage per acre, and 20 to 30 bushels of
seed is not an uncommon yield, and
with this mass of leaf and vine turned
under as fertilizer, or cut and cured as
a dry feed, or used for silo, must neces-
SdAii9 bc VI great value. Inc n1dLureQ
pea is especially valuable for all stock
on TIE farm, as every living thing will
eat them as greedily as they would corn
or oats. Hogs do specially well on
them, and to turn them into a pea field
they will fatten perfectly To grow
crop fit your ground nicely, drilling
seed an inch or so apart, and covering
about three inches deep. Or you can
seed with common wheat drill, which
will do just as well. When plants are
up to four or five inches run over field
with weighted harrow, paying no at
tention to rows, thus freeing your
ground of grass and weeds. If ground
is not too foul, this is all your crop will
need. Most of all the COW pea family is
quick in fruition and maturing of
fruit, rarely taking over 60 to so days
from date of planting to maturity of
fruit and harvesting of crop. This
makes, therefore, a specially valuable
crop for the central and northern sec
tions of our union, where seasons are
inclined to be short, and where crops
so frequently fall

BEARS ALL ANXIETY.
The Young Woman Who Helps Hos
tesses to BE Happy While They
Are Entertaining.

How to be happy though the hostess
of large dinner party is what young
woman, at the rate of from three to
nve dollars an evening, is showing a
number of wealthy women. This young
woman, in looking around for means
of bread-winning, decided to become a
professional bearer of dinner party anX-
ieties. What she does is to manage din
ners or wedding breakfasts or large
luncheons, and, though she neither
cooks nor waits on table, she fultills a
most important mission.
She stands before the hostess in all
worry. A half hour before the meal is
served she appears in the dining-room
and sees to it that the butler has got
the table set, and that the wines are
rising or falling to precisely the right
temperature. Then she dons her big
apron, and as guests file into the dining
room she takes her stand by the pan
try's dumb-waiter to see that every dish
comes up exactly on time, piping hot
when it ought to be hot, chilled to the
marrow when the chill is necessary
and, furthermore, she tastes it to see
that its flavor is exactly what it ought
to be. Having a quick wit, resourceful
mind and knowledge of French cook
cry, she takes care that no dish passes
to the table that is not above reproach
Where she stands in the pantry there is
heard none of the crash and grind of
dinner party machinery; no long waits
between courses elapSe
Now, this may seem a sinecure, but
grateful hostesses look upon her work
as exalted modern philanthropy, for
even if the butler is a new man, the cook
a possible traitor to her trust and the
caterer apt to play tricks with ices and
sorbets, so long as the dinner manager
is at the pantry helm nothing can go
wrong. With all the ease of an unfet-
tered soul the hostess can give her
whole mind to her guests. If she is a
hostess new at the business she can
send for the manager beforehand and
have her dinner all planned for her,
every detail considered even to the
color of the flowers and the pattern on
the tablecloth, and the very latest sur
prise in an epicurean delicacy worked
up for the envious delectation Of ner
guests. Bet this is an eXtra.-N. Y.

SHIRT WAIST BOX.
Very Useful But an Ornamental
Article as Well.

With the shirt-waist season comes
the difficulty of finding place to keep
our waists without mussing them.
When stiffly starched they take up a
great deal of room in the dresser, and if
hung in the closet are more likely to be
on the floor the greater part of the
time. Shirt-waist boxes are not new
departure, but as a rule the ready
made ones are SO expensive that the
girl in ordinary circumstances cannot
afford them.
The box shown in the accompanying
illustration is covered with pale blue
and white creton and the entire cost
was only IS cents. While the light stuffs
make very dainty effect, the darker
ones are more serviceable and will not

brick there will be no running cracks.
Leave places for door and windows
slightly narrower than the frames, sod
up till almost to the top, then fit in the
frames tight, and over each put board,
one by II by inches, will do, to sup
port the weight of the sod above.
Have the roof project a foot over the
walls, so as to drain the water well off
the top of the walls. Grooved boards,
battened, make a good roof, although
many prefer to cover the boards with
tar felt and then a layer of sod. The
only objection to thisis that after tw o or
three years the tar felthas to be renewed
and new sod added. But it makes the
warmest roof and if carefully put on
sheds water as well as shingled roof.

SHIRT-WAIST BOX.

and put two small brass hinges on the
back. The inside should be covered
first and the material drawn tight
The sides and front of the one shown
here are laid in large box plaits, the
back being perfectly plain. The lid
should be padded with one or two layers
of cotton and finished with a ruff1e
about three inches wide tackled on the
top of the lid so it will fall down over
the box about two inches. This re-
quires five yards of creton. For the
outside brass head tapestry tacks
should be used.
This is not only very useful but
an ornamental article as well. With
few pillows thrown on it it makes
very pretty window seat; in the winter
it can be used for packing away your
summer clothes; it also makes very
dainty trunk for baby's things. In
fact, its scope of usefulness is unlim-
ited.-Radford Review.

SOME BEAUTY HINTS.
Rational Exercise and Peace of Mind
Are the Rest Complexion Pow
der Yet Discovered.

In some cases poor complexion
arises mainly from lack of exercise.
Women who live an entirely sedentary
life have slow circulation and usually
q bad digestion, and these are fertile
causes of a muddy-appearing skin. EX-
ercise gives rapidity to the movement
of the blood, stimulates digestion and
calms the nerves, and is frequently
more beneficial than any sort of medi-
cine, although it should not be indulged
in Immediately after meals. Physicians
are beginning to recognize the fact that
drugs are not the most potent restora-
tives, and that exercise, peace of mind
congenial society and recreation are not
merely luXuries, but necessities if good
health is to be preserved. Chapped and
rough lips are not only painful, but dis
figuring, and it is advisable never to
go into the open air without previously
using little glycerin OF vaseline upon
the mouth. To moisten the lips with
the tongue has drying effect upon the
skin ultimately, and the habit is one
to be vigorously avoided. Toilet soap of
inferior quality is extremely injurious
to the complexion. Only the best soap
should be employed, and that does not
necessarily mean the soap most ex-
pensively gotten up with lace and rib
bons. Pure glycerin or olive oil soap
unscented, is very good and not special
ly costly.-Cincinnati Commercial Trib-

Cause of Leg Weakness.

Now that the young roosters are run
ming at large they will grow rapidly if
properly fed, but should the weather
become damp they may suddenly show
weakness in the legs. If they eat and
Seem well otherwise they will soon
come in proper condition. as the weak
ness is caused by the birds growing in
height rather than in breadth, the legs
seeming to grow longer. Such birds
show the effects more on a sudden
change of the weather than at any other
time, as if rheumatic. Keep them in a
dry place, feed plenty of bonemeal,
and they will not only easily get over
it, but will eventually be the largest
ones in the fock.-Farm and Fireside.

exercise is invaluable for Strengthening
the neck and developing the muscles
of the neck and shoulders and reducing
the size of the waist and abdomen.
But a great many other exercises in
volving the stretching of the muscles
can be used in connection with these to
advantage, as they are less violent.
For instance, standing firmly with
the toes well turned out, put the feet
quite near together, with both arms eX-
tended nearly at right angles with the
body, reach as far as possible, first to
the right and then to the left, as if en-
deavorinS to reach a wall at some dis
tance from the body.
Vary this motion by twisting the
body upon the waist, so that the right
arm is reaching as far to the left as pos
sible, and in turn the left arm reaching
to the right.
Vary again by standing facing a wall
and touching it with the tips of the
fingers of both hands. After each touch
move away about half an inch farther,
until it is with the utmost difficulty
that you can touch the wall at all. Then
repeat several times in succession.
All these movements are invaluable
for improving the carriage of the body
and reducing the size of the waist. All
should be taken very slowly and in con-
nection with deep, slow, even breath

HOME GYMNASTICS.
Some Simple Exercises That Bring
Grace and Are Certain to Inn
prove Ones Carriage.

Nowoman in ordinarily good physical
health should exercise for strength.
But every gymnastic instructor of the
best modern school will agree that if a
woman exercises for grace about the
best results will be attained.
In the new school of physical develop
ment no apparatus or implements what
ever are required, but the utmost use is
made of free gymnastics. The setting
up drill of the West Point cadets and
of the militia organizations is a good
basis for such a drill, and the most i'm
portant of these exercises is the old
familiar one of STOPPING to touch the
foor without bending the knees. This
