ALASKA'S RIVAL AS A SUMMER
RESORT

Here is little information for any of
our readers who may be contemplating
a summer trip across Siberia to the Chi
nese frontier. From St Petersburg to
Irkutsb the trains are fairly comforta-
BILE and cheap, but the traveller must
be prepared to pass nearly a fortnight
on the metals The fares for first, Sec
ond, and third class are To- 50, and SO
rubles respectively, and the meals, for
which there are two or three hats q
day. do not cost more than a couple of
rubles. You should take your own tea
and sugar for occasional refreshment,
and be provided with warm wraps, as
even in midsumer the nights are often
frosty. No charge is made for twenty
eight pounds of baggage, but for each
quarter in excess rubles must be
paid.
AT Irkutsh decent hotel accommodate
ton can be had for 2 rubIes day in
elusive. So far Russian silver is the
best money you can carry, but letters
of credit on the Russo Chinese Bank or
some good tea firm are safer for the rest
of the journey, To Kiachta YOU drive
in tfree-horse cars at cost Of about
so rubles for The three days Then YOU
must bargain with the Mongols for con-
veyance on a camel or in camel car
rage to Kalgan. IT will take twenty
six days to cover the distance. at an ex
pense of G12 to 915. Some elementary
knowledge of Russian is almost npces-
sary for these final stages The whole
trip may be done for about e4O-Lon-

WHERE OUR IMMIGRANTS COME
FROM

The Militar Zeitung publishes an
interesting article on the escape over
the frontier of men liable to military
service in Austria Hungary. 1t states
that a large business is carried on by
agents, chiefly foreigners, who assist
these men. The first essential is pass
port, and this is generally forged. IL
is known that 1000 men weekly, on their
way to the frontier, pass through Vienna
alone, and as most of these are young
men, it is calculated that during the
year least 10000 men Of those who pass
are escaping from military service.
Most of these go to America, where, 1t
is believed, there are at present over
100000 men who should be in the Aus
tro- Hungarian army or reserves On
one occasion at the mobilization of q
body of reserves, out of 5000 men only
1900 appeared; the greater part of the
$500 had succeeded in escaping to
America.-London Times

Then, marking my excitement, he

Not many days later, itinerant vend-

HOW to Cook Fruit.

Always cook fresh fruits in boiling
water; generally but small amount
is required. If economy is point to
be considered, do not add sugar until
the fruit is done, as sugar cooked with
an acid Is converted into glucose, and
it will require nearly twice as much
sugar to give the same sweetness to the
fruit if added before cooking as 1t will
If added when the fruit is done. On
the other hand, if the fruit is one which
you desire to keep whole, sugar added
to the fruit will aid in this direction, as
it abstracts the juice Of the fruit, thus
slightly hardening it, and preventing
It's falling to pieces. Fruit, in cooking,
should not be allowed to boil hard, as
hard boiling destroys it's flavor by ex-.
cessive vaporation.-Good Health.

Pruning Vines in Summer.

Pruning Vines in Summer.
The chief art in gardening consists
in not allowing our plants to have their
own willful way, but to make them
behave as we want them to. Vines
generally make desperate attempts 10
get to the top Of bush or tree that
they Irvine around, and the lower por-
ton Is nothing but series of naked
stems. When we set them to trellises
we want this proceeding reversed. We
desire as many branches close to the
ground as at the extreme upper portion
of tae pole or frame on which they are
supported. The educated gardener I'M
derstands how to do this. The grower
of grapes under glass has to know how
to do 1t, as otherwise he would have
grapes in the apex of the roof and no
where else. He applies the same prin-
ciple to the growth of Towering vines
out of doors as to his grapes under
glass, or to the grapes in the outdoor
garden, for that matter, with equal re-
suits.
The art is very simple. 1t is simply
TO pincn our the apex OF the Slrong
growing shoots that want to get up
still higher, and leave the struggling
shoots at the base alone. The growth
force, suddenly checked by the topping
Of the upper shoots, has to be expended
somewhere, just as the sudden stop
page of water being forced through a
pipe may burst that pipe. 1t is diverted
to the lower and weaker shoots, which
become, before the season is over, as
strong as the upper ones.
In the hands Of a good gardener a
grapevine trellis will have fruit over
every part Of it's surface-and have as
fine fruits at the apex as at the base.
But how rarely do we see these mas
tiers of the art; and how simple the art
is, after all.-Meehan's Monthly.

Restoring Nap to Old Carpe t.

This is the season Of the year to
freshen up the old carpet which has
been cleaned. Sprinkle it with naph-
tina, putting it on literally, and as there
is no fire in the room, little danger may
be court Of course, lights of all
kinds should be kept out of the room
for several days. After the naphtha Is
put on sweep the carpet. Sweep it
both ways and crosswise until the nap
stands up like new carpet. This will
not only clean and freshen old carpet,
but it will make it appear almost like
new, especially in places where the nap
Is worn.

Feeding Clover to Fowls.

The very common advice to feed clo-
yer to hens as an aid to egg production
needs to have caution attached to 1t.
If hens have grain with the clover
they will not probably eat too much Of
the lighter food for their good. But
exclusive reliance on cut clover as win
ter feed for a day or two may so clog
the gizzard with light indigestible food
that when grain is given it only makes
the matter worse by furnishing more
heating material to ferment in the crop.
Wherever much grain is given to fowls
they become too fat to lay, and it is
uuch hens that are most likely to be
crop bound.

Small Celery Best.

There Is a great difference In the
quality OF celery, and this makes the
size matter Of comparatively little ac-
count. The giant varieties Of celery
are now superseded In favor Of dwarf
kinds that are cl1sp and nutty In flavor.
Something, however, depends on the
soil and method Of growing. A moist
soil makes the celery grow much fuller
OF its native juices than one which is
dry. The soil can hardly be TOO rich,

Cultivation of Crops.

There are no certain periods for work
on farm SO far as the cultivation of
crops is concerned. Each crop demands
cultivation according to it's stage of
growth and the conditions Of the land.
The harrow and cu1tivator cannot be
used too often. The difficulty is that
some farmers limit the number of
times crop should be cultivated with
out regard, to conditions and circum-
stances. No field can be said to have
been well cultivated as long as single
weed can be seen standing.

Watering Grass in Sunshine.

1t is a well-worn fallacy that lawns
should not be watered while the sun
shines. Perhaps the only gain from
this statement is to the owners of the
water supply, as there will be less
waste from sprinklers going all day
long. Where deemed necessary, the
water may be used in unlimited guam
tity in full sunlight, so far as danger
from the latter source is concerned.
Some heavy, poorly drained soils Will
not stand too much water, and this
should be considered. = Meehan's
