From its experiments with inSecti-

arrives at the following conclusions:
In fighting the Colorado potato bee
tie no adequate substitute for arsenical
poiSons has yet been found, The efforts
are now limited to finding cheaper or
more effective compounds Of arsenic
than paris green. The arsenical in
secticides are best applied with water
in the form of a fine spray as soon as
the slugS appear. Unless applied in
connection with bordeaux mixture it
is safest to use lime with all arsenical
compounds The applications should
be repeated rs often as necessary.
Some Of the cheaper arsonoids were in
these experiments as effective as paris
green. There is no reason for using
them in place of paris green unless
they can be had at lower price Lead

copper compounds of arsenic, but it

Queen Victoria has been spoken Of as
the wealthicst sovereign in Europe.
but this is probably not the case.
Her income from the nation is only
f3S5,00o Il year. Much of this is used
for salaries, aims and pensions. The
queens privy purse is only 100000 Il
year but in addition she receives 600
coo from the revenues Of the duchy of
Lancaster. and there remains from the
civil list 100000, which may be applied
to general expenditures In the time Of
the Georges the civil list amounted TO
f1.0'n0Oo year. Living was cheaper
then too.
1t is known, Of course, that the queen
was Il few years ago the recipient of a
bcqucst of t25O,000 The Eamoral es-
tate is also hers. The ground was pur-
chased from the Fife estate for 49,
0o0. and the house was built by the
prince couSut out of his own savings.
From Him also Queen Victoria received
about tiOGnop. The amounts saved
from the civil list have been deeply cut
into to provide settlements and mar
ria@e portions for the queens grand
children. and it is probable that if the
sovereign were to die her will would
dispose of less than G3,O00,OO0 worth of
property.
In return for the civil list allowances
the British sovereign some years ago
relinquishcd all claim to land, castles,
jewels and other property of the crown
except the duchies Of Lancaster and
Cornwall, and the other monarchs of
Europe have done the same, with the
exception of the ear of Russia. who is
now the richest of them all.-Scottish

The cookery of the present day, says
a prominent physician is conducted so
as to eliminate nearly all the vegetable
salts. The water in which they have
been cooked is thrown away. and when
the food is ready for the table it has
been deprived Of many of its natural
properties. Vegetable salts are cspe-
cially serviccable when given in the
form of food, and if we would mitigate
the misery caused by rheumatism and
various skin diseases we must begin
by reform in the Kitchen. The yegeta-
bles should be prepared, he says, SO as
to retain all salts and should become a
part of the daily food. The salts were
intended for use in the animal ccono-
my, and when not supplied the system
is robbed of an essential ingredient Of

A BITE IN THE DARK.
The Young Man Liked Jelly, and He
Filled His Mouth.

young man whose work keeps him
down town until the early morning
hours usually reaches home with
sharp appetite. His mother, an in
dulgent mother, too, puts a little lunch
out where he can get it, but this fire.
Quently fails to satisfy him. His wise
parent knows this, and she saves the
larder from a wholesale onslaught by
locking things up.
Now. if there is one thing in particu-
lar that this youth dotes upon it is
Jelly. But jelly is an article of food
that takes time and skill in its prep
aration, and if the lady left her jelly
lars at his diSposal-well. there would
be none to dispose Of after Il few
mornings. SO the jelly is locked up
the tightest of all.
The other morning the youth let him
self into the house just as the gray
streaks of dawn were crossbarrinS
the eastern sky There was milk and
bread awaiting him, but his soul
craved for jelly. He determined to
hunt for some. Taking Il slice Of bread
and a knife, he stole down cellar and
searched the fruit shelves. What hap
pincss, He dimly made out the out
lines of a jelly jar. Was there any
jelly in it? He dipped in his knife and
felt the soft and quivering mass. What
joke on his usually careful mother!
She had actually forgotten to turn the
key on this treasure.
He drew out a generous quantity and
carefully spread it on the bread. He
had to do it largely by guesswork, be-
cause the cellar was almost totally
dark. When the spreading was done,
he smacked his lips lightly and took a
generous bite.
No, it wasn't jelly; 1t was soft SOAP

MARRIED HIRED MEN.

Where Il man is bothered about the
hired man question and tempted to
quit farming because Of the difficulty
of getting competent help, as so many
are, solution may be found by build
ing neat little house on the farm and
employing a married man, giving him
pasture for COW and an acre of land
for garden, with the privilege of
keeping some poultry. This relieves
the wife and mother and will more Of
ten secure the services of a good man
than will the common plan of hiring
single men and boarding them. We
had one man work for us thus for II
years and never had more satisfactory
help.

Bernhardt's Influence.

When considering the wonderful
things which the dying century be-
uueathed to the new, it might be well
to bear in mind Sarah Bernhardt.
The lady is 50 years old.
She has son who is over 30.
She looks upon the stage the slender
girl whose part she portrays, the boy
whose garb she assumes.
Not Maude Adams herself in "LAi-
glon" looks more the boy of 20 than
did Sarah Bernhardt, grandmother as
she is. when she produced the play in
Paris
She is the greatest influence today
over all the fashionable women of the
world.
Every woman who dresses in the
mode anywhere on this oblaIe spheroid
follows styles which Sarah Bcrnhardt
has set, not those set by any younger
woman. by any princess or great wom-
en- of the aristucracy.
In "L'Aiglon" Bcrnhardt has CON
vinced women that graceful. sinuous
curves are more beautiful than tho
DulSIuS EOllS Vi lat W llCll tSCtiJc dbONC
and below short" waist laced ten
inches TOO small.
BY appearing as a wonderfully grace
full boy she has convinced women that
a figure somewhat like that designed
by the Almighty for wOmankind is
more beautiful than the artificial idea
of the corsctiere.
Fashion follows her by placing one
slavery on top of another. The short
corset doesn't give place to freedom,
but to the long corset, big at the waist
and running from the tip of the bust
nearly straight to the point of the alb
domen.
The fashion might be a great gain
for health as we'll as beauty. If it is
