A South Pacific Princess.

The ceremony of dressing is simple
when ones garments number one. or al
least two, and when neither soap nor wa
ter is an available commodity. Under
shelter of the grass mat which has form
ed bed and blanket the worn tapa vala
was exchanged for a fresh one of gaudy
cotton print. A loose bodice, SO short as
to leave large stretch of warm, sherry
colored flesh visible above the waist, re
placed the travel stained one. A little
cocoanut oil rubbed over the face and
glistening shoulders and madame's state
toilet was complete. The royal princess
it is true, was possessed of all the lux
uries of a dressing case in the shape OF
half a ragged comb and a strip of looking
glass, and with these rudimentary nipple
ments she passed half an hour arranging
her curly locks.-Black woods.

through the glass an instant and then
turned to Miss Stanton.
"She'll come out of there all right.
You come with me to a patrol box"
Miss Stanton meekly walked away
with him. In about five minutes they
came back and sat down on the steps.
Polly pulled an easy chair to the Win
dow, slipped into it and leisurely be-
gan to pull off her gloves.
So they sat until the patrol wagon
drove up, into which Miss Stanton was
bundled with little ceremony. Then
the policeman came up the steps to
the window.
Look here" he called out. I'm tired
of this! Come on out of therei''
Polly calmly took off her hat and
eyed it critically with head a trifie to
one side.
'If you don't, I'll smash the window
and come after you! You'll come then

him the officer turned.

to your house, Mr.. Wilson," he called
out.
"Robbersw exclaimed Mr.. Wilson.
Thieves in my house! Where?'
screamed his wife.
"Oh, we've got 'em tight enough
said the policeman. "One's in the par
lor now. She got in through the win

What! Women thieves?" Mrs. Will

Then came the explanation. And

me when she had finished telling the

NEW GRATING METHOD.
Practiced with Great Success by It's
Inventor, a Successful New Jer-
sey Fruit Grower.

1 am going 10 introduce my method
of grating, which is new to most OF
those present. When you cut twig
from tree, if it does not heal over in
one season it causes the root to rot.
The damage done to a tree by cleft
grating seldom heals perfectly the
first season and results often in decay
setting in.
In my method 1 use this little instru-
ment, which has its cutting portion of
V shape, attached to shank with a
wooden handle. 1 then take a twig,
cut the top off, leaving the stock about
an inch through; then on the side of
the stock 1 cut out with my instru-
ment place for the insertion of the
scion, which is shaped on the lower
end with very sharp knife to fit close
ly the place of insertion. You will no
tice I place the lower end of the scion
directly over the stock. Insert the
scion, which will fit closely and re-

GREAT NATIONAL ROAD.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles Tells why He
FavOrs the Building of an In
teroceanic Highway.

Rome's system of roads, which con-
nected the capital of the ancient en-
pire with territory of Europe which it
dominated, is to be duplicated in the
United States.
Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, chairman
of the national highway commission, is
hopeful that the present generation
will see the establishment of broad
smooth roads connecting the principal
cities of the union. He has been care
fully studying the problem, and in his
trips in the north and south and west
he has observed the country and has
formulated in his mind the points
through which the road should pass.
Gen. Miles was prepared to deal with
this subject not only by reason of his
training as soldier and his knowledge
of the value of such roads for military
purposes, but also because he had, while
in Europe several years ago, given at
tention to the means of transportation
for European armies and the character
of the territory over which it would
be necessary in time of war for them
to travel.
"The roads, he said to a New York
Herald correspondent, "are not to be
built primarily for military purposes,
though, of course, they would be VAL
liable in case of emergency. They will
be of immense benefit to the people of
the country, for those who ride wheels,
for those who use automobiles and To-
comedies, and as well for the farmers
whose lands border on them.
Because of the great commercial i'm
portance of New York and San Fran
CISCO" Gen. Miles continued, sit seems
to me that they should be the two
points which should be the termini of
the cross country highway. 1t has
been a serious question as to whether
New York, Philadelphia or Washington
should be the starting point. By rea
son of its central position and the fact
that it is the center of wealth and COM
merce, l have come to the conclusion
that New York should be given this
honor. The next question to consider
is what cities shall be connected by the
road. How far south shall it go? How
far north? 1t has been suggested that
Richmond should be its southern term
mus, but am not sure of this. 1t might

: THE ONION THRIPS.
In Case of Drought This Insect Is
Likely to Work Serious Injury
in Extensive Fields.

The effect of this insect on the onion
is known as the white BLAST from
the fact that the tops are prematurely
whitened, and become wrinkled and
shriveled. The insect caused consid-
cradle damage in some portions of the
state last year in onion fields, and the
Ohio agricultural experiment station
has been engaged throughout the win
ter in studying it's winter habits. 1t
has been found that the insect passes
the winter months in matted grass,
among old weeds and other rubbish, as
well as among Gull onions and refuse
that have been left over in the fields
in the fall.
Onion growers are familiar with the
fact that the depredations of this in
sect appear earliest, and are the most
! emphasized, along the margins of
fields or plots, or in spots over the
fields. The reason for this is that the
insect winters over in these places. 1t
makes its way from the grassy mar
gins or from the grassy banks of
bitches, to the rows of onions adjoin-
ing. 1t winters over in the piles of
culled onions and refuse in the fields,
and begins its work there, spreading
from thence outward. Wherever the
grass and weeds along bitches can be
rooted up and destroyed it prevents
the harboring of this pest. Wherever
the old, dry grasses and weeds, along
the margins of onion plantations, can
be burned, the effect will be to destroy
myriads of the pest, and to prevent
their breeding the coming season.
With frequent, drenching rains, there
is not much likelihood of severe out.
break, but in case of drought, the in
sect is likely to work more or less seri-
Gus injury in extensive onion fields.
A spray of one pound of whale oil
dissolved in eight gallons of water will
destroy the pest, and the use of this
mixture is recommended on the first
appearance of the insects in the fields.
AT time of first appearance it will prob.
ably only be necessary to treat very
small areas along the margins of fields.
or the small. isolated spots previously
mentioned, in order to permanently
check their increase.

HE MISSED THE MOTIVE.
The Speaker Thought 1t Was His Own
Genius That Held the
Child.

This is story which Representative Eddy,
of Minnesota, tells on himself. Mr.. Eddy
not only enjoys the situation when the laugh
is turned against him, but has a sense of hui
NOR which leads him to start the laugh some
times himself:

an attraction a veteran of the war of 1872
and of the civil war who was a famous hand
at beating the drum He was a drummer

kind of thing, anyhow, and the old captain s

at the foot of the rostrum, the same being

fellow about u years old, who sat through
the speech, following me with great atten-
ton. 1t pleased me very much. Any fool
can interest an audience of adults, but it
takes genius to hold a child.
So, after the speaking, went down and
spoke to the little fellow, and after shaking
hands with him asked him how he liked my
speech.

perhaps as far as st. Augustine. Then,
starting northeasterly from New York,
the road should connect important
cities of Connecticut, Rhode Island
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, YER
mont and Maine.
I'm New York state, it should follow
the natural course, passing through
Albany and the great central cities of
the state to Buffalo. including Svra-
cuse, Rochester and Niagara Falls.
The road should pass through Erie,
Pa; Cleveland and Toledo, O.; Adrian
and Coldwater, Mich; Elkhart and
South Bend, Ind, and from Chicago
should connect Davenport, Des Moines
and Council Bluffs, Ia; should pass
through Omaha, Lincoln and Hastings.
Neb., and crossing the Rocky noun
tains, should touch Denver, Salt Lake
City and Sacramento, and have its west
ern terminus at San Francisco. From
San Francisco there should be diverg-
ing roads north and south, the former
having its terminus at Seattle, Wash.
and the latter its terminus at Los An
geles."
p. Gen. Miles said that consideration
had been given to the question of the
cost of the road.
while the highway will be national
in character" he continued. "it does
not necessarily follow that congress
must appropriate the money necessary
to build it. The legislatures of the sew
eral states through which the roads
pass can enact laws appropriating
money for the construction and main
tenance Of the roads within the boun-
aries of their respective states, the
termini to connect with the highway

maintenance of the road would be a
tier of state as well as national

= 9ctiveness of the country, would be OF
eral benefit to the state and its in.
l ,.Gdbitants. In several sections of the
country there are roads already con-
structed which could form part of the
general system, and, wherever possible,
these have been introduced in the plans
thus far perfected"

THE ERNST GRATING METHOD

quires some strength to remove. Now
paint the cut end of stock and scion
with liquid grating preparation COM
posed of one pound of rosin to one
pint of alcohol. prefer a liquid prep
aration, as it simply coats the cut sur
face over, keeping water and air from
it, and does not crack and fall off.
When the sun shines this liquid melts
and runs almost all off; so l put on u
rag, which keeps it cool. To keep the
rag in place and also to assist in keep
ing the scion in place wind a string
around it, which is Cot away when the
bud of scion has made two or three
inches of growth.
This method of grating is mostly
used for stone fruits-cherries plums
and peaches. You must graft stoIe
fruit very early, and the season TO do
so is of short duration, say about the
last of March, and with care in setting
them, about rs per cent. of the gratis

Deafness. Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dtion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an in1amed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that

A patent has been issued in Ger
many covering process of condens-
ing milk by freezing and thawing il
in centrifugal separator when in
motion. The work is said to be rem
dered easier by first separating the
cream and condensing the skim milk,
after which it is mixed with the
cream. 1t is claimed for this kind Of
condensed milk that it can be again
diluted to its original volume, and
also that it does not have the sweet
taste to which some people object in
the condensed milk we now use. How
ever, the mere patenting of process
does not prove its utility, and we may
have to wait indefinitely for demon.
