where Farmers Guard Their Crops.


In plentiful America. where thou
sands OF bushels OF fruit are permitted
to decay on the ground year after
year, very little attention is given
to guarding the crops. But, in China,
where the very poor are in such a vast
majority and where every foot of soil
and ripening globule of fruit command
careful attention, the farmer always
has somebody guarding his crops
night and day. Usually the members
of the family take turns in standing
guard. As soon as the crop shows
signs of approaching ripeness a bit OF
high scaffolding is erected in the GEN.
ter of the field and a hut is placed ct
the top of the structure. From this
point of observation the family senti-
mel keeps an eye on the entire field.
These lookout posts are never de
serted for q minute until the crops
have been gathered. The principal
crops are apricots, plums. pears aad
sorghum, millet. beans, corn, peanuts,
melons, squashes, sweet potatoes.

Midsummer Hats.

Colored hats are extremely fashlona-
bic. and look especially we'll with the
thin summer gowns. Those made of
the pleated chiffon in pink are very
dainty and smart with n lowered pink

blue and white, and so on indefinitely.
The next in favor are the yellow
straws, trimmed with pink roses or
with black velvet and fancy buckles.
The last are only intended for mid
summer wear, but they look so cool
and are so becoming that II is small
wonder that they are popular. The
turbans and toques now to be seen are
not particularly attractive, for they are
stiff and harsh. and have some hard
lines unhecoming to most faces In spite
of the fact thai the straw Is Of trans

unique and summery, and she carried
out the idea still further by edging n

Ona-Minnta ralanhnnss-

The new system of one minute tele.
phones, which is now coming into
vogue, is based on the supposition that
the great majority of telephone mes
sages can really be condensed into u
minutes conversation when once the
subscribers are connected up. The OBJ
Ject of introducing this service was
that the standard five minutes serv-
Ice was too expensive, with long-dis-
tance telephones, to be at all popular.
The one-mlnute Is, therefore. charged
for at the rate OF one-ffth of what it
would have been for a five minute SER
vice, with a minimum charge of fifteen
cents for one minute. Thus the rate
for points between 100 aud 200 miles
from each other is twenty cents min
ute. For distance of thirty-fiye miles
the charge is fifteen cents minute
and five cents for each additional min
ute.-Winona .(Mlnn) Republican.

Turkey Raising For Women.

One Texas woman has earned large
sums by raising turkeys and managing

keys numbered six when sne began.
Now it comprises many hundred, and
last year she cleared over $2500. With
the increase of the Industry she
changed her methods of raising the
means of the most up-to-dnte incuba-
tors, while acres of land are set aside
for the raising of certain foods which
have been found of value for the birds.
Strange as ii may seem, young turkeys
cannot be allowed to run around In the
dew or rains, and in this direction she
has had to take many precautions.
The young turkeys are lodged nights
and during wet weather in q covered
yard or specially constructed house,
where they cannot endanger their lives
by wandering around in the wet grass.
The food for the birds consists mainly
OF bread and cornmeal without salt,
and with a generous quantity Of red
pepper mixed in. Until the birds reach
ar age when they can search out for
themselves the necessary green foods
they are provided with the tips of shall

CAPTAIN MOLLY"
An Amazon who Served as an ArtiiIerIst
In the Revolution.

An interesting character associated
with the early history of West Point
was an amazon commonly known as
Captain Molly" She was the wife
of an artilleryman in Fort Clinton at
the time of its capture by the British
in October. 1777, and when the enemy
scaled the parapet he fed, but Molly.
his wife, who was built of better stuff,
stepped up and took his place at the
gun. Nine months afterward at the
battle of Monmouth she carried water
from ncighborlng spring aud served
it to the soldiers in the earthworks
during the early part of the engage
ment, and when her husband was
killed at his post she dropped her
bucket, seized the rammer and re-

Green presented her to Washington,
who appointed her n sergeant in the
army and afterwnrd she was placed

She was great favorite in the army.
and Is described as stout, red-haired,
freckled-faced, good-natured Irishwom-
an, with a sharp tongue and lot
temper. She spent the rest of her life
at West Point, usually wearing
cooked hat and the blouse of an artil-
leryman with a sergeant's chcvrOns
upon the sleeves Toward the end OF
her life she became arrogant ana que
rulous and was n great trouble to the
officers. There is n considerable cor
respoDdence on file at the War Depart
ment in Washington concerning her,
and finally the Secretary of War was
compelled TO place her III charge of q
woman who was made responsible for
her good behavior. On one occasion
the post commissary writes: "As Molly
is such a dlsagreeablc object to take
care of | have been obliged to borrow
the money to pay the people, and it it
can possibly be replaced l should be
very glad"
On another occasion the post COM
missary at West Point informs the
Secretary of War in an official letter
that Molly is very much in need of un-
dergarmcnts that are worn exclusively
by women, and asks permission to pur-
chase three or four at Government ex-
pense, but the Secretary of War re-
plies that they will be forwarded from
Washington. -Four months later the
commissary Is compelled to again re-
mind his superior of the matter as FOL

formed me should be made for Captain
Molly are done should be glad to

THE COUNTRY WILL oUTLIVs THE

Come TO the woods. forget tho street
Where trathc's noisy wheels are heard.
And with those soul inspirers meet
The mugmuring pine and singing bird
Let us forget the lines OF care
That ON our faces deeply press.
Aud bretthe awhile the perfsct air
That longs to make our troubles less.
What means this endless toll and strife,
The wish to seek and win aud hold?
There IS a better. grander life
Outside Of titles and of gold.
Tho men may study 10 deceive,
And TO their aid call every art
Great Nature loves alone to weave
Her truths around the trusting heart.
When piles Of brick in ruins le
And wealth and power are both laid low
In valley sweet, on hilltop high,
The grass, the flowers, the trees will
grow.
Men may tear down the forest fair
To build themselves a heeting crown;
But meath great Natures fostering care
The country will outlvc the town.
When our weak hands shall cease to strive,
And from our grasp all power. has past,
Nature, her heart with love alive,
Will take us to herself at last
