cocksure were they that this would be ehe out
come that in the beginning they refused all CO.

themselves, and thought it would be such a walk
over that there wouldn't be enough 10 go around.
Ihen came the awakening, that is sicksning for
them. Disaster followed disaster and soon they
were turning eagerly to the colonies for that assist
ance which they had previously couternpruously
refused. To-day while r. looks though the war
was all but over II actually not. Despite ths
countless millions spent and the tens OF thousands
or men poured into South Africa. those punv re-
pUblics are still maintaining a show OF armed re-
sistance- BY that show they keep England from
Withdrawing her troops and using them in other

The Hard work of Congre.smen.


Let those who are blissfully ignorant
laugh at congressman for the easy time
they have at Washington. Only those
who have been through the mill know
how hard a congressman must work il
he is to fulfill his public duties. A
Woodworking senator said to me, II
might have made $4,000 during my
term in the senate if | had given as
much attention to my private business
as l have given to the public business
The amount of work which is laid up
on q member or senator is simply enor-
nous. What with the demand for pen
sions, postoffice documents, applica-
tions for promotion or discharge in the
army and many other things, a MEM
ber's time may be taken up with the
exactions of his daily mail. \ good
clerk may be Of immense help, but
some senators employ two or three
and then find there is great deal
which they must answer or attend to
in person.
The daily sessions from 10 to about
3 take up half day, and committee
meetings often take up the other half
for two or three days in the week. II
is hard to tell when the busiest men,
bers, who are never absent from a ses-
sion or from a committee meeting, find
time to prepare the elaborate speeches
which they sometimes deliver. 1t is
not strange, then, that so few members
of either chamber are found in the
reading rooms devoted to them in the
Congressional library. When they want
books from that or any other deposi-
tory, they have them sent to their
independent.

NcHxz nn1 Notea

One of the Columbia university pro-
fessors, who isn't alarmed at the new
theory Of failure of the potash sup
ply, is reported as saying: 'It is not
unlikely That potash beds exist in this
country and that they will be found.
ct any rate, the Saxony mines, it is es-
timated, have a supply of 10,000,000,0 900
tons, sufficient to last for SO centuries
at the present rate Of production.
There is scarcely any occasion for i'm
mediate alarm"
Raising squads for market as an in
dependent industry, disassociated from
poultry growing, is comparatively new,
but said to be rapidly increasing, and
is suggested as pleasant and profita-
ble occupation for women.
81 wish to go on record with the Ere
dfction that In less than 20 years the
meat of Belgian hares will be as COM
mon on the tables of rural people as
that Of chicken is now," says T. Grimes
in The Practical Farmer.
Plows are started early in Kansas for
next years wheat crop. I'VE figure
that it is worth bushel an acre a

prominent farmer quoted by the New
York Sun, and every narrowing given

good in the yield. So we begin early
and harrow often, making the croI

Crane Carried His Satche1.

Arthur A. Leeds of Tioga met Ste
phen Crane once under circumstances
which showed how little the novelist
traded upon the fame that came to
him. Mr. Leeds got off train at Del
aware Water Gap. The only man on
the platform was bumped up against
the side of the depot gazing into space
He looked like a farmers boy. His
trousers were baggy. his coat battered
and his hat rowdy.
"Say. carry this stuff to the hotel for
me, will your asked Mr.. Leeds. The
man grasped the bags and started In
the wake of Mr.. Leeds toward the
hotel
When the hotel was reached, Mr.
Leeds lost sight of his porter for few
minutes while he greeted friends
Looking around for his baggage, he
saw the man who had packed it to the
hotel sitting on the piazza with hi:
legs on the railing. He was reading q
book.
"Who's that man" asked Mr.. Leeds
"Oh, that's Stephen Crane" some one
said. The next day Crane left the place
before Mr.. Leeds had an opportunity
for explanations.-Phi Nortt

The Last Chinese Actress.

Many visitors to the Celestial king
dom have noted the absence of women
from the stage. All the roles in Chi
nese play are taken by men, This sin
gular custom is traced back to a wom-
ans whim. The Emperor Yung
Tsching married an actress at the be-
ginning of the eighteenth century,
whom women were allowed on the
stage. The emperor died and the en-
press dowager ruled the country for
her son, the Prince Kim Sung.
To satisfy her vanity this shrewd
and most peculiar woman issued a
decree in the year 1876 forbidding, un-
der penalty of instant death by the
sword of the executioner, any member
of her sex to appear on the Chinese
stage. "After me, no one," said the
empress dowager, and since her day no
woman within the reach of Chinese
law has dared to test the sire myth OF
her decree. In Hongkong "a British
colony women have played in Chinese
theaters. but never as yet, we believe
In San Francisco.

where to Cut sprouts ON stumps.

"here TO CGt sprouts on StumpB.
Winter cut hard wood stumps are
likely to sprout the following season,
while those cut In midsummer do so
rarely or cease sprouting the second
season. Allowing winter cut stumps
to retain their sprouts throughout the
summer preserves the vitality of the
roots, and if early the following spring
these shoots are cut off the roots are
in condition to throw up another sup
ply of shoots, and so the life of the
sons, according to the age Of the
stump-the older for a shorter and the
younger for a longer time.
The advantageous time to cut away
sprouts is during July and August
when the foliage is fully matured. The
effect is sudden shock to vitality al
time when nature is least prepared to
recover from such damage. A few
ephemeral sprouts may come after O
midsummer cutting, but usually nc
persistent growth. The long lapse OF
time without foliage till the opening OF
the next season usually suffices to de.
stroy the stump's vitality. Exceptional
cases may be met in stumps of will
lows, aspens. mulberrles, exc, which
may require more continued cutting
and grubbing to destroy them. This
advice was originally given by such
good authority as DR.. B. w. Fernow
In Rural New Yorker.

weight of women,s Brains.

The woman's brain is always less
than the mans. From Boyd's figures
we can pick out 102 men and lib wom-
en- between ca inches and &C inches
high, averaging close on 65 inches, fol-
each group. But the brains of the men
average 46.9 ounces, while those of the
women are only 41.9 ounces, which
gives the men an advantage Of II pei
cent. There are 81 small men whose
height averages 62 inches, and there
are 135 women Of the same height The
brains of the men weigh 45.6 ounces
those of the women only 42.9 ounces

Cutting Bushes In Aupuat.

: If bushes are cut in August and are
allowed to lie on the ground all win

If the brush is burned just as shoots

Bleaching Yellow Sections.

Things Well Worth hnOwtng'
Bleaching Yellow Sections.
There is a new device for inducing
bees on the wing to cluster. 1t Is cas-
lily made and can he put in practice by
any one. Take a board about a foot
square and put a hole in the center
large enough to receive the end Of
pole. Then put half dozen holes in
the board large enough to receive as
many cOrncobs. With your pole in the
renter you can take the device and go
with it where the bees are flying thick
est, and they will cluster on the board.
Then you can carry them to their hive
and shake them off before it or into it,
and the work is done.
Those who have black bees and are
troubled with worms should at once
change them for Italians. Worms have
no show with strong Italian colonies.
They are wormproof and should for
this property have the preference.
Let every beekceper attend to put
ting on empty sections and removing
full ones during this month Uuly).
Give plenty of room to the bees, that
they may not cluster on the outside Of
the hive and practically do nsthing.
This is easily prevented by making
room In the hive for surplus honey.
The same thing can be accomplished
by a judicious use of the extractor.
This empties the full combs and gives
the bees room for rcplenishing with
additional honey.
Bees did not do rs wcil this past sea-
son in cellars as they did on their sum-
mer stands. This is exceptional, for
q good, dry cellar easily regulated as to
temperature is generally the best win
ter protection that can be had. There
are some excellent beekeepers, how
ever, who prefer wintering on the sum-
mer stands, with large hives and strong
colonies.
Put yellow stained sections in win
dow or where the sun can shine on
them, and they will soon be bleached
white, so that they will readily sell for
first class honey. This is worth know
ing, as it enhances the price of the
honey 1t may be worth hundreds of
dollars to some beekeepers.
A good way to stop robbiny in mild
cases is to throw a handful of grass
before the hive. For a more severe
case saturate the grass with water.
For very bad case saturate the grass
with kerosene oil. But IAN ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure"
Be careful not to drop any honey
around the hives, as this will induce
the bees to begin depredations on 9th
er hives.-Farm Journal
