took Edward Green three times as long, for he went in a sailing vessel. and the jour- ney was fraught with danger
 He went to make fortune at Manila, for he knew in business way of the great chance there was to deal in hemp and rope in Manila flax and paper, and all the prod ucts of that wonderful plant the musa tex tilis, the plant which is so closely allied to the banana, which grows in a wild state in the Philippines. They had never suc- ceeded in getting the pure Manila rope from any other place, and young Green knew this and wanted to take commercial advantage of 1t. He also dealt in other commodities of the Philippines

But here the trouble came Her folks were violently opposed to the match Miss Robinson was the only daughter; gay generous, and the type of the good New England woman. Edward Green was twice her age, man of the world, worn out with fortune-scekng, and ready to settle down in life. The Robinsons felt that 1t would be an uneven match, and they could not bear to sacrifice their daugh- ter Yes. Edward Green was too old and too settled to make a young girl happy.
 But true love. after suffering only as true love can, and surviving as true love al- ways does, carried the day. and saw the white feather of surrender raised over the Robinson homestead. Hetty Robinson and Edward Green were married, and after a honeymoon went to London to live. They had too many interests to remain long in New England or even on one continent.

energetic wife and settled down quietly to
 become "Hetty Greens husband"
 Nor was Mrs. Green less capable in dis
 posing of the rest of the family. Her son
 Edward, having grown to manhood, was
 sent to different parts of the country, to
 New England, to the Pacific coast. to Flu
 rope and to Mexico. upon business mis-
 sions. The daughter Sylvia was put into
 the hands of an elderly society woman of
 New York, who introduced her to old
 Knickerbocker society at a tea, and then
 allowed her to spend her time in the quiet
 way which best pleased her.
 A Wall street man said that Hetty Green told him at the time of her separation from
 her family that she did not like MT. Green
 because he spent money too fast. But 1t Is very doubtful if she ever said such
 thing. It was not case of fncompatfbilty,
 but only one of business. For the richest woman in the world found herself with so
 many irons in the fire that she positively could not darn socks nor attend to the needs of a husband. That was the whole secret of it.
 As for herself, Mrs. Green lives quietly at one of several places. Part of the time she lives In a hotel In Brooklyn very near the bridge which she Is rumored to own. Here she occupies single room and eats at the public table, She never takes dessert, and refuses all but the most substantial food When she is in New York she occupies a very comfortable room in tho middle of the town. and generally has the society of her daughter, who Is very fond of her mother.
 Mrs. Green and Sylvia have been photo
 graphed together very often, and the daughter, In speaking of her mother, Is en- thusiastic In her praise of her disposition and business qualities.

 Edward H. Green is Ill now. Report has it that he Is very feeble. and his wife has been spending all her days with him to the great exclusion of her business interests The same rumor whispers that he is S2 years old, and that he cannot possibly live long.
 Public tongue is always mischievous about this interesting couple, and year ago when MT. Green had an attack of .n- huenza, and required a trained nurse, the public told a queer story of Mrs. Greens jealousy-of how she discharged the nurse and went out and hired one of her own selection, an ugly-faced girl, to whom Mr. Green would not make love.
 It Is considered very smart today to go to the Philippines. The first man who comes back from the Philippine colony with the newly-earned million in his pocket will be famous, but forty years ago Edward Green did that same thing, and nothing was then thought of it.
 Besides earning a million in the Philip pines he made forty millions by marrying the right kind of a girl, and that is pret- ty good record for one man.

SILKWORMS I'm IOWA.
The Experiments OF an Italian at Des
MOines Have Proved Success
full So Far.

Mark Chiesa, an Italian, is success
fully raising silkworms at Des Moines,
la. The eggs were brought from Italy
by relative. Two years ago ne made
the experiment first, but the person
who brought the eggs carried them in
his pocket and they Matched on ship
board, so the worms had 10 be thrown
into the sea. This time the person to
whom the eggs were intrusted suspend
ed them on u string so that they got
cool air on the ocean and on the railway
trains. Arriving here, they were put
into cold storage until the mulberry
leaves were ready for them. Then,
upon being put into a warm room, they
Matched in one day.
OF the supposed 5000 eggs from ten
silk moths about 1000 Matched, which
result, Mr.. Chiesa says, is better thaa
the average in Italy. The greatest diff
Guilty has been to find mulberry leaves
for the worms. They eat about three
wagonloads day, and never stop eat
ing for a minute, but eat all the time,
day and night. The worms, in devour-
ing the mulberry leaves, make a noise
like rain on the roof. BY lively hunting
the food for the worms has been pro-
vided, and they are we'll developed and
healthy, about three inches long. and
are just beginning to weave their CO.
coons There seems to be no reason
why the industry should not succeed
here Mr.. Chiesa has brought a wom-
an from Italy who has had 30 years eX-
perience with silk worms, and she says
they are doing as well as any she ever
saw.
The experiment is the first that is
known to have been made in the west
and is certainly the first that has beer
successful. 1t has attracted as much
attention as a circus in this city, and the
number of visitors is very large. The
owner is a good-natured man and he
cheerfully and proudly shows the in
dustrious 1000 to all who care to see
them.
If they turn out as well as they
promise to, Mr.. Chiesa will buy large
farm near this city, plant it to mulber-
ry trees and go into the business of rails
ing silkworms and producing silk on a
large scale. From the experience he
has had in America and Italy. where his
father is a silk producer, he sees no rea-
son why the industry should not be e1k
tirely successful in Iowa.-N. y. Sun.

A PERSISTENT AlLMENT.
Stomach Trouble in Children and Its
Cause.

Stomach Trouble in Children and Its
Cause.
In children the intestinal canal is rel
atively of greater length than in adults,
while its muscular tissue is proportion
ately less. For this and other reasons
an unsuitable diet quickly causes irreg-
ularities of the bowels in children.
1t is safe to say that whenever chill
dIen suffer from constipation the food
which they receive is ill-suited to their
stomachs if not actually harmful to
them.
Infants who are brought up artificial
ly, on cows milk, are peculiarly subject
to constipation. The milk is often
found to curd in lumpy flakes, which
pass through the intestines undigested.
In such cases the milk should be given in
a more diluted form, with perhaps the
addition of a little lime water.
Cream and butter are to be recon-
mended on porridge and cornmeal. Oat
meal gruels should form part of the
dietary of older children, who should
also be encouraged to drink as much
water as they crave.
When constipation is found TO be per-
sistent, the child's diet should be reg
ulated with a view to counteracting it.
For children of three years and older.
bread made of unbolted flour, bread
and molasses-not strip, stewed prunes,
orange juice. honey and bread, olive oil
and olives, codliver oil, peaches. fresh
vegetables. baked apples and ginger
bread should be occasionally parts of the
bill of fare.
judicious administration of this
class of foods will avoid all necessity for
castor oil, rhubarb and other household
remedies. which are often given to a
harmful extent with out the family doc
tors orders or knowledge.
Abdominal massage isa useful method
of overcoming attacks of constipation
in infants. It should be performed
three or four times a day, very gently
and with q warm hand. The best time
for it is while the infant is feeding.
when the abdominal wall is soft and re.
Taxed.
A little dry salt, followed by glass of
water, is often relished by child, and
is beneficial in cases of constipation.
A sufficiency of fresh air and regular
exercise, when combined with proper
dietary, will rarely fail to avert the
threatening evil of chronic constipation.

These driveways may be filled with hay
after the other bays in barn are all full.
There should be large doors in each

CarefuIIy-Bre Animals.

The superiority of the English
Scotch and French horses is due tC
their being raised almost as part of
the family. Behind their docility, size
and adaptability to special work, the
plow, the saddle or the buggy, is a long
line of kindly care, patient training
and careful breeding. That marvellous
capacity for producing milk, possessed
by the Holstein COW. and the superlative
richness of the milk of the Jersey, are
the results of judicious feeding, ham
ding and breeding. and of wise selec-
ton for many years in sections where
a few cows are kept by each family as
a valued treasure. The same is true of
all the better breeds of horses and other
domestic animals.-Prof. s. A. Knapp

PLAN FOR HAY BARN.
venient Structure to Hold
400 Tons, Loose.

In compliance with the request of a
Texas correspondent, Prof. Mumford,
of the Missouri agricultural college,
gives sketch and description of barn
estimated to hold 100 tons of loose al
falfa hay.
The storage capacity needed for 100
tons of loose alfalfa hay Will depend
largely on the depth of the mows in
which the hay is placed. The deeper
the NOV the greater its capacity per
cubic foot. In mows 90 feet deep and
above it will require approximately 500
cubic feet of space to store one ton of
hay. These figures are, of course, APP
proXimations only and will vary with

When Horses Catch CoId-

1t has been noticed that horses that
have been out on pasture for some time
will frequently seem to take cold or
develop a case of nasal catarrh when
taken up and kept in the stable. If the
stable is very close and warm and no
protection is given to the horse to pre-
vent him from taking cold when
brought out, he is liable to be affected
by the change during very cold weather.
Sometimes, also, the stable is too open
and he has to stand in draft when
brought in warm from work. In such
cases cold may frequently follow the
neglect. In many cases. however. the
catarrh or cold may be prevented by
seeing that the stable is free from filth
and impure air.-Farmers' Review.

SALT FOR STOCK.
A Supply of 1t Should Be Kept In
Every Field Accessible to All
Kinds of Animals.

Some experiments made in France
showed that stock having regular sup
DIV of salt were more thrifty and made
better use of the feed they ate than
those deprived of salt for a consider
able time.
Salt is one of the necessities of animal
existence and even wild animals travel
long distances to seek salt in the shape
of salt springs of brackish water. Salt
is the great cleanser of the blood and
performs an important mission in ami
NAL economy, and as it is very cheap it
should be supplied to all live stock in
liberal quantities.
A supply of salt should be kept in
ever pasture field and accessible to the
animals at all times. The common Gus
tom of sailing stock once a week is
a very poor way to supply the needs of
the stock. The strongest ones will get
enough. possibly. but the weaker ones,
and these are the ones that need it most,
will be kept back and never get a full
supply. One of the best ways to supply
live stock with salt is to buy rock salt
and place slabs of it in places conven-
lent for the stock to get at it. The
weather has but little effect on it and
stock can get all they need by simply
sucking the salt slab.
To feed it to horses put piece in the
feed box where they can get it at any
time This does not interfere with feed
ing the horses and at the same time a
little of the salt gets OF ell the grain
given them. Even pigs VIII lick block

How to Reach Two Famous Resorts.

Fast, safe, superbly equipped and most
carefully governed, one need not wonder
at the great popularity of the New York
Central. No other line affords such facili.
ties for through travel between the East and
the West as this wonderful four-track sys-
tenn. In the possession of the Grand Central
Station, located in the heart of New York
City, and within trifing distances of all
frst-class hotels, this railway offers greater
advantages than competing lines. Spring,
summer, autumn and winter, it has attrae-
tions irresistible. The great Northern Will
derness, the playground of the State, now
beckons its thousands. As autumn falls,
Americas scenic masterpiece, farfamed
Niagara, will claim its annual host of pill
grims with its majestic power, the fierce
turmoil of the Whirlpool and all the pic
turesque surroundings, the awesome Cave of
the Winds and several other minor attrac-
tions of the vicinity. And when winter
comes, then the entire scene transformed to
what seems a fairyland of marvellous frost
dressings, of icy forts and snowy palaces;
of cleaning crystal prison barriers vainly
striving to bind the roaring, foaming plunge
of water-will present spectacle of weird,
mysterious beauty which is not duplicated
