Handy Water supply.

/ have good wind pump on the
north side of the house, about four
yards away. 1t is over a good well
which seldom, if ever, goes dry The
water is soft The water is forced
through a two-inch piping up into the
house tank, which is large galvanized
tank in the kitchen. 1t has box frame
over it and a large lid to cover it up.
When the tank lacks just few inches
from running over in the house it be-
gins to flow out at a standing pipe. It
flows through piping under the ground
to the cellar. It goes in at a piping to
the milk trough. It flows to the lower
end of the cement trough, and then
when the trough is so full it begins to
run out, but still leaves a certain
amount in the trough. After it leaves
the cellar it flows through piping under
the ground to the lower side of the
horse lot, where it comes up in the
large tank. There are two other tanks
on the place that this same pump fills.
Now, we have everything full of fresh
water, and you may be sure that the

Carefully pick over and wash the
greens and put to cook in boiling water,
well sailed. When tender, which will
be in from half an hour to an hour,
according to the age and variety, take
them out with fish fork or perforated
dipper and carefully drain off all water.
Remove the water from the kettle, and
in it's place put one-half cup boiling
water, lump of butter size of small
egg, a dash Of pepper, one-half cup Or
more of good strong vinegar and two
or three heaping tablespoons Of sugar.
When it boils put the carefully drained
green's into it, stir frequently, cook
about five minutes and serve hot. This
is certainly the incest way in which
greens of any kind can be cooked. One
need not be afraid to use the sugar, as
it does not give sweet taste, but
softens the taste of the vinegar and
gives a delightful flavor. Indeed,
never use vinegar in anything without
first adding some sugar, for it is al
ways an improvement. If the greens
are of very strong or pungent va
riety, they will be improved by first
parboiling for few moments with a
bit of soda in the water say lump as
large as grain of corn to each pint OF

Empress Elizabeth's Birthplace.

There has been any amount of discus
sion in the royal families of Hapsburg
as to the real birthplace of the late
Empress Of Austria. 1t has been sup
posed for many years that she was
born in Possenhofen, Bavaria, and the
genealogical calendar of Gotha has con-
firmed this belief. The Bavarian
Reichs- Herold, however, stated in re-
cent number that careful research
showed that the Empress Elizabeth
was born in the ducal palace in Munich
OH December "a, 1887. This was con-
sidered authentic by the royal family,
and, accordingly, the inscription on the
sarcophagus of the Empress has been
corrected.

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 a sergeant in the back
room of a 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 SUD-
jected. When l was on duty in some
of the south side precincts people used
to come to the station and ask for the
oueerest 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 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
was on the desk, 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.
"'Well, / said, what can do about
it?'
"'Vy, sendt a policeman und make
me get in der house, dots What 1
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 a 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 49, / 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.
What? said the sergeant, who had
been asleep and didn't know about the
collection.
my mudder says can I 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 q
while. Chicago Tribune.

Superior Quality in Tobacco.

superior 1ODaCCOs
The most important requisite of the
Tobacco plant is potash. This can be
told by anyone who has noticed the
great proportion of ash which tobacco,
whether in cigar or pipe, leaves after
it has been burned. On the other hand
heterogeneous manure, which makes a
rampant growth of leaves, do not pro-
duce the finest quality. The leaves are
thick and do not show the delicate tex
ture of the leaf which indicates high
qualities. OF course tobacco land needs
to be rich, so as to make a large leaf,
but to secure tobacco that will burn
freely there should always be an ex-
cess of potash in the soil. Stable
manure is Objectionable, not only be-
cause it generally lacks potash, but be
cause in midsummer when it heats 1t
furnishes such an excess of nitrogen
that the leaf is gorged with sap. A
small amount Of nitrate Of potash on
the seed bed will give the tobacco plant
a start, so that when transplanted into
land only moderately rich it viii make
as large a leaf as necessary, and give
it very superior quality.

sake OF transient pecuniary relief he
had placed himself in the mans DOW
er. The rich Peruvian held his notes.
which must be met or which would be
destroyed upon the marriage of Marie
to Don Jose.
"And now l desire to see Marie here:
kindly tell her to come to me-" utterd
the Peruvian.
His imperious air of command made
the blood of the old Venezuelan boil;
but choking back his anger-for he was
in this mans pOwer-he returned to the
ball room, leaving the other to pace up
and down the conservatory, filed with
rich, gaily-hued tropical plants.
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, feverish
ly hot fingers almost crushed her sof'
hand. The grasp of those slender fin.
gers felt to her touch like the clasp of
band of steel; the very touch sent the
blood back from her heart, and her
lovely face grew pale as lily.
"Marie-for / the right to call you
thus-your father has given his consent
to our marriage. No, do not start !

Il thank you as before; but must,

the girls lips.
''And why? Do you love the stranger

relinquish you, Marie. You see this
ring? It's sting is sudden, sure death.
l go to congratulate the more favored
one." And he bowed and passed into
the ball room.
Marie's eyes dilated with horror al
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.
Pressed into the flesh of the palm Of
his hand was the head of tiny gold
viper attached to ring upon the Sec
ond finger. The palm was livid, and
the face assumed the same horrible col
or soon after he was taken away. Ste
venson was as rich as the Peruvian,
and he easily relieved Marie's father
from his pecuniary difficulty. And a
six months afterwards the elite of Car
acas gathered at the wedding of their
fairest tropical belle, who stood by the
side Of the fair-faced man from the
States.

Waste on the Farm.

Good management both on the farm
and in the household demands that all
source of waste be guarded against
and that all by-prodUcts be utilized to
the best advantage. That the kitchen
and table waste are generally realized.
Don't waste your cold bread; and after
each meal take the bread that is left,
carefully cut off all the top crust, place
these in some sour milk, same as you
use for making bread, in time to be-
come thoroughly soaked before making
bread for another meal. Then when
you are ready to make your bread take
one or two Of the soaked biscuits, crum-
BILE them up and mix well with your
dough, and your bread will be lighter,
the ordinary way. Those that try it
will be pleased with the result, for it is
a great saving and makes a nice deli
.cious biscuit. Don't depend upon the
top of your stove for anything. There
is nothing like a good oven for making
nice preserves.
There is little or no danger Of scorch-
ing, and the long, slow cooking results
in clear, delicious preserves. Don't
waste fuel by keeping fire when not
necessary. While ironing on top, do
your baking or preserving in the oven.
Don't let the cheese mold. Use it in
preparing cooked dishes. Don't neglect
your household duties, but let each one
of us make our duties as light as posi-
BILE. Use judgment in our work. Learn
to apply the old saying, LET your
brains save your heels.' To imagine
some one else has an easier time than
we do does not tighten our tasks, and
only results in making us disagreeable
and unhappy. Women should realize
and with the realization accept the fact
that their household duties are some
thing to be taken up and carried on
cheerfully and uncomplainingly, max
ing the home happy and pleasant for
all in it.-Mrs. j. r. Brenton.

Better Use of Cotton Seed.

1t seems almost incredible now that
the old-time practice with Southern cot
ton planters was to pile all their cotton
seed in heaps after it was separated
from the cotton, and after it was rot
ted down it was used as manure. Now
all the oil is pressed out of the cotton
seed, and the meal is found to be an
excellent feed for stock. This does not
lose it's material value, however, but
probably makes it more effective, as
the meal, after it has passed through
the animal, can then be rotted down
into g. much stronger fertilizer than it
could while in the seed. 1t is such econ
omies as this in the use of all parts Of
the cotton plant that make it possible
to grow cotton at much lower prices
than anyone could have thought could
be done in the old wasteful tines

Points About Growing Potatoes.

The quantity of seed potatoes re-
quired for an acre will depend great
deal upon the size of the potatoes and
the size of the pieces each seed potato
is cut into at planting time. AS a gen
eral rule it requires from ten to twelve
bushels planted in rows 3 feet apart
and Is inches apart in the row. This
is supposing that the potatoes are of
medium size and are cut so that each
piece will have two or three eyes. The
land should be rich. Loan well fer
tilted with stable manure is as good
as any soil that can be had If the po-
tatoes can be planted on clover sod, so
much the better. Prairie sod can be
