Advice to Summer Sojourners in the
Maintains
Mountains.

Those who select the mountains as
the place for spending their summer
should be the malarious, and nearly all
city people are that, though few enough
of them realize it.
When they reach their hotel and
are comfortably settled for a more or
less prolonged stay they should not i'm
agine that all they must do is to sit
down and let nature do the rest. If
they wish to be benefited by their out
Ing they obviously must observe rea-
sonable precautions and take proper
exercise. otherwise they might just as
well remain at home.
One thing that the malarious should
avoid, and that is sitting in the open
air after o'clock in the afternoon
In the morning it is best for the
delicate man, woman or child not to
go out until after a. M Then they
should remain out as long as possible,
of course going in before the dew be-
gins to fall When the dew falls there
is danger of taking chill and with that
comes many consequent ills.
A morning walk through the woods
is good thing for those strong enough
to stand it. Meals should be taken reg
ularly and the remainder of the time
should be spent out doors.
Always have some bright, light read
ing or recreation ready at hand; for
those whose minds are occupied will
never think of their loneliness.
If there is lake convenient to the
place where you are stopping. remem-
Der that rowing is a good exercise; it
expands the chest and strengthens the
muscles. One should not forget, how
ever, that on the water the dangers
from sunburn are greater than any
where else. The fashionable set is find

things the world is just. 1t resents the
one claiming the rewards of the other.
Consequently people went to see Mrs.
James Brown Potter's' beauty and
laughed at, her acting. Kyrle Bellew
played leading parts with her and the
the combination of the two professional
beauties made people smile.
The two then began tour of the
world. Mr. Bellew, who is an expert

one time society woman. He succeed

proved. The two came back to New
York when they thought they had
achieved success enough to win ap-
plause from the former critics. They
presented Romeo and Juliet" in
which Mrs. Potter of course played the
leading part and played it badly, while
Mr.. Bellew gave very good Romeo.
She also played Charlotte Corday,"
but New York was cold to her art,
and she is said to have gone away
chagrined and indignant. After further
touring Of the world with Mr.. Bellew
she turned up in London, secured an
engagement to play in Mr. Beerbohm

keteers." She played the part of Miladi

don went wild over her gowns and the
Prince of Wales praised her beauty. Her
fame was made. In "Carnac Sahib,"
later production of Mr.. Trees she
added to her laurels, although it is not
quite clear which London admired most,
Mrs. Potter's gowns or her acting. AS
it has always been her ambition to
force those who once criticised her to
acknowledge her talent, it is not I'M
likely that she may again be seen
shortly in New York theaters. It is
doubtful, however, if her success will
bring society to witness her triumph.
for its sympathy is with the lovely
daughter whom Mrs Potter deserted for
public career and who since the time
she has been old enough to under
stand her mothers choice is said never
to have voluntarily mentioned her
name.

America has captured England. This
sounds startling, but it is true. The
capture has not been a material, but
an artistic feat, and one of the Ameri-
can women of beauty and note who
have been generating that campaign
of utter capitulation is Mrs. Brown
Potter, who has just made all London
pass under the yoke. Royalty has been
dining her and nobility feting her, and
during this present season there is not
a more popular foreigner in the Eng
lish capital.
Cora Urquhart Potter has attained
the top of that artistic ladder up which
the last ten years she has been so
studiously climbing and has finally
been declared the most beautiful, the
most gifted and the best dressed wo-
man on the stage in the greatest city
in the world.
A little over ten years ago she was
the wife of James Brown Potter land
an acknowledged beauty in the ex-
elusive set of New York's Four Hun
dred. She was the mother of a lovely
little girl, little Fiji Potter, now
young woman an a debutante in the
society that knows her mother no
more.
Mrs. James Brown Potter las she was
then known, had a taste for amateur
theatricals; she acted well and often
appeared in plays at private entertain
ments of the fashionables. Some one
told the spoiled beauty that she had
genius and would make a great actress.
She believed this; there is nothing so
easy as to believe well of oneself. The
life OF Mrs. Brown Potter began to look
humdrum; she wanted wider admira-
ton, greater triumphs than a fashion,
able coterie could afford her. With her
beauty, social position and talent she
thought she had only to appear to have
the world at her feet.

licly made no protest, although it is

ORCHARD COVER CROPS.
Their Value and Advantages Of
6ciaIly Recognized by the AEri-
cultural Department.

The growing of green crops in an
orchard should not be done with the
view of scattering crops for use, but to
benefit the trees as a covering. The
agricultural department has given this
matter its attention and pointed out the
advantages i'll a special bulletin. ~
cover crop, to serve as a blanket and
protect the soil, may be secured with the
use of mammoth clover, COW peas, buck
wheat, rye, crimson clover or anything
that will remain on the ground all WIN
ter. Cover crops, unlike those grown
throughout the season, do not, as rule,
injure the trees by drying out the soil,
and even where the weather during the
fall is normally dry, the injury is less
than in summer, since plants evaporate
less water from their leaves in the cool
er weather and shorter days of fall than
in the longer and hotter days of sum-
mer. Cover crops not only do not, as
a rule, dry out the soil injuriously, but
they also add directly to the moisture
holding capacity of the. soil by the hui
mus formed in their decay, and they
hold much of the snow until it melts and
is absorbed by the soil. They are
also rarely as injurious as crops grown
throughout the entire season, and are
often beneficial because their growth
is made after the trees have stopped
growing and are maturing their wood
for winter. Trees make their greatest
growth early in the season, and there
fore require much less moisture the
latter part of the season than earlier
in the year. In fact, in some local
tiles it is considered an advantage TO
cease cultivation by midsummer and
grow some secondary crop which will
check the growth of the trees and
cause them to mature before winter.
1t has also been found that wherever
cultivation or irrigation has been kept
up late in the season, and the ground
in moist condition, with the trees
thrifty and growing, the frost did but
little damage.

If the cow will convert her food into

Don't keep the cows all the time

If you have a common cow-a scrub
feed her generously, and take the

Has the COW been comfortable all

The COW must be kept warm and fed
such foods as she can digest.
If you let the COW get cold, her milk
will shrink and she never again can
give as much milk as she did before
she was chilled, until she has another
calf.
Always feed the cow that is with

is a bunch Of muscle and bone. There

account of their ship, growled over the
provisions, which, it seems, were of
particularly wretched sort, and in turn
fell to questioning us. We gave them
the home news, and added some spice
at the end by an account of our brush
with the Dutchman. This brought out
a lively round of talk, the purport of
which was that the Dutch had won
drous assurance, but for a fair fight,
with even metal, were naught beside
the English. When this had passed
some one brought up the doings Of
our ships abroad, and notably in pirat-
