Sulnhur as q FumiCant.

The fumigating properties of sui
phur have long made it valuable
household remedy, and the sulphur
candles now on the market fill long
felt want. Not only are they a con-
venient disinfectant but they are al
most sure death to flies, red ants,
reaches and moths. The room to be
fumigated must be tightly closed, even
the keyholes stopped with paper; then
closets, trunks, drawers and all in
fected receptacles must be opened, so
the fumes of the sulphur can pene-
trate every nook and Granny. The
candle is put in metal candlestick
and set in an earthen or iron vessel
a coal hod will answer quite as we'll as
anything else. The only requisite is
that it shall be deep enough to pre-
vent the flames setting fire to any
thing Care must be taken not to in
hale the fame when lighting the can
die. The room should be kept closed
for about four hours, during which
time the purifying fumes of the sui
phur will thoroughly do their work.
These candles must not be used where
there is gilt paper, picture rails or
picture frames, as they will be tar.

An Ensjzn's Narrow Escape.

When Commodore Decatur, in 1915
dictated to the dey Of Algiers the terms
of a treaty with the United States,
Lieut.. John Subrick was dispatched to
Washington with a copy for the ap,
proyal Of our Government. The brig
Eperyier was detailed for his transpor-
tation, and he was accompanied by
Captain Lewis and Lieutenant Neill
Of the navy, who had married sisters
a few days before sailing with Com
modore Decatur for the Mediterranean,
and by Lieutenant Drury and Lieuten-
ant Yarnell, who had fought with
Perry in the battle Of Lake Erie. Just
before the brig sailed Ensign Josiah
Tattnell, who was a watch officer on
the Epervier, succeeded in inducing an
officer on one of the other ships to ex-
change places with him, as he pre-
ferred to remain with the fleet A few
days Later, as the Epervier passed out
of the Straits Of Gibraltar, she sig
nailed "Al we'll on board" Since then
she has not been heard from. It is an
interesting fact that Ensign Tattnell.
who escaped the fate of his comrades,
lived to command the ram Merrimac OF

Her Dogs.

Summer in Dawson, says the 1nde-
pendent. is delightful. and even the
winters, declare those who have stayed
there in that season, are glorious.
Many are the stories told about the
wondrous beauties Of the trail over
the ice and the White Pass, where
even women have gone. handling their
dogs. from day to day, as the men
handled theirs. Every man and wo-
man there has a story, all interesting
and some thrilling.
Il used to like to start out first IN
the morning" said 4 Detroit woman.
"Once, rs hurried my dogs down the
trail in the gray dawn. I saw three
stray animals romping on the way.
Now, if you catch up with a stray dog
on the trail, he is yours: so. my heart
futtering with joy. began whistling
to the half-wild creatures.
AT first they paid no attention to
me, but kept romping and leap-frog-
cins ND and down the trail. slowed
I'd my team and put myself in front.

the renegades.
when we had come within hun

Colonel Henry Watterson Ctef.

years ago, when 1 belonged to a

IL known as lobster a Ia Newberg. /
gave NY idea to Charlie Delmonico
and he saw that it was carried to sue
cessful execution. John Mccullough
WAS one of us, and to John is due the
appearance of broi,ed live lobster in

epicurean way of preparing it during
his stay in California. In cfter years
1 attained some fame as 4 manipulation

Sapphires That Aren't Blue.

cit is commonly believed that the
sapphire is known only as gem of q
rich 1elyety blue in COLOR" observed
an experienced dealer in precious
stones to the writer the other day.
As a matter of fact the sapphire occurs
in various hues. In Ceylon, for in.
stance, where the finest specimens OF
this gem are found, it ranges from the
soft velvety blue to the peacock blue,
graduated in the latter to an almost
faultless white. 1t also occurs in
whites, green's and yellows, the latter
shade being known as the Oriental
topaz, and the green the Oriental
emerald. The white sapphires are
often found clouded or streaked with
blue so that many specimens are cut
which are white when looked at trans
versely, but having bit of fine blue
tint on the under point. Then there
is the red sapphire, or Ceylon ruby.
It is valued as highly as the finest
Burmese rubies. Those most highly
priced are the red pigeon blood or
rose-red color. Some very fine sap
phi,es have been found in Montana
during the past ten years. The
American gems are light-blue, blue
green, green and pink, but the deep
blue and red stones, which are chiefly
in demand as jewels, have so far never
been discovered in any part OF this
country. Washington Star.

trimming the Orchar rti.

The late winter is probably the best
time in the year for the trimming OF
the orchard. It most certainly is the
best time in the year for the farmer il
his convenience is taken into consid-
Grafton, There is comparatively q
lull in his work at that time and he
can give his trees the time necessary
to trimming them in the right way.
Trimming tree is one thing that
cannot be done in hurry. A man
can easily cut off branch, but he
cannot grow one. He must cut. off
only the branches that require cutting
to benefit the tree, being careful to
cut none that will leave the trunk of
the tree exposed to the hot sun and
wind OF summer, or one that wilt de-
tract from the symmetry of the trees.
No two trees are of the same exact
shape and eacH one must be studied
individually before touching with
pruning knife or saw. This takes
time.
So many things must be taken into
consideration that no set rules can be
given in regard to trimming trees.
Where there are heavy winds during
the seasons when the trees are full OF
leaves aud laden with fruit, the limbs
should be kept trimmed so that not
too great weight should be borne by
the main stems For the same rea-
son the limbs should be closer to the
ground. In al exposed position tho
tree should be rather heavier upon the
south side, and when young should be
inclined little in that direction.
This will tend to balance the heavy
south winds and also furnish shade
for the trunk of the tree during the
hot months of the year.
Too great care cannot be taken in
healing the stubs of the cut limbs.
Many fine tree is ruined by the
checking of this stub. Waters will
run into the crack thus formed and
the wood surrounding will begin to
decay. This will in very short time
reach the heart of the limb, weaken.
ing it. The life of the whole branch,
if not the tree itself, is but the ques'
tion of year or SO. Its doom is in
evitable.
1t should be borne in mind that tho
trimming business can easily be over.
done. 1t is far easier to cut tree
than to grow one. Think we'll before
putting the knife to branch, and if
you are in doubt as to whether you
should cut it or not-don't. Be sure
you are right and then proceed, but
better to let nature have her own
sway than to ruin tree by over prun-
ing. One can see and Judge of the
importance of the limbs and branches
while there is no screen of leaves to
interfere with seeing all of them in
their relative position to each other
and the tree. For that reason, if no
other, winter is good season for
trimming the orchard.-J. L. Irwin.

An american Duel' at Heidelberr


During my residence in Heidelberg
a lamentable and terrible asair took
place that threw profound gloom
over the university and the entire
town. Two German students having
quarreled decided the earth was not
large enough for both of them to live
in, and resorted to the diabolical prac-
tice called the american duel" In
darkened room the two young men
drew lots, having sworn that he who
drew the black ball would commit sui
eide. The unhappy loser went to his
roem and discharged bullet into his
breast, but missed his heart and lin
gered for several days on his death
bed; his parents were summoned by
telegraph and besought him on their
knees to disclose the name of his an
tagonist, but he refused and died with
the secret in his breast The students
not only excused his conduct, but
praised his courage. and when his re-
mains were taken to the railway sta
ton to be transported to distant
city they accompanied the funeral cor
tege with torches and music The
students claimed he was not a sui
eide, for he was killed in an honora-
BILE duel, and the' maintained that his
opponent was not accessory to his
death because he shot himself; I had
many arguments with them and never
could convince the of their extraordi-
nary tergiversation.-

Taking Care of Blankets.

A great deal of labor is saved by
taking proper care of blankets. When
blankets are first purchased baste q
hemmed strip of sheeting over the
top edges. When this is soiled re.
place it by another, so that the edges
of the blanket do not come against
the hands and face or accidentally
touch the floor when the bedclothes
are turned back. Air blankets very
thoroughly. At least once a month,
on q clear day. when no wind is stir
ring, hang them on the line to air fol-
twelve hours, turning them and shak.
ing them free from dust at least once.
Use a little cotton counterpane over
the blankets at night; this is easily
washed and does not attract dust as
the loose meshes of WOODEN blanket
do. Use another counterpane fol
covering the bed in the daytime owe,
that used at night. By these means
bed blankets may be kept aired
and will not need to be washed
oftener than once in two years.
It pays to use light, inexpen.
sive blankets in summer, replacing
them by the heavy, more expensive
all wool blankets designed for winter,
or whenever the weather demands it.
When not in use wrap up fine blan-
kets carefully in cotton sheets and pack
them away from moths. Sachets OF
lavender scattered among blankets and
bed linen are warning to moths to
keep away when they are put in the
closet. as we'll au inducement to azure
lidded sleep when they are spread on
the bed.
