DON'T KNOW HOW TO EAT.
Doth beauty and Health Are Lost to
Women by Ignorance I'm
This Respect.

II women realized how important to
beauty is the food they eat they
would not be so careless as they noto-
riously are as to what they consume
and the manner In which they dine,
lunch and sup. A physician of large
practice declares that drink and hurry
and worry send most men to the in
sane asylums, but love affairs, CON-
blned with lack Of food, throws most
of the women off their balance. The
love affairs would have but little in
fuence over them If they were prop
erly fed, but among the Illusions in
which girls and women indulge in is
that, as they care very little about
their food, so the lack Of II cannot
have much effect upon them. They
rather despise men for being careful
to have regular meals, whether bust
ness presses or not, and are inclined
to vaunt their own superiority in such
respects. But If this disregard of the
natural instincts Of hunger leads wom-
en- in the same path as drink and hur-
ry and worry" lead men, and if they
are to be Inundated and hypersensi-
tiveness in love affairs, how preemi
nently does male common sense stand
out In the matter.

FORGET PHOTOGRAPHY.
Employment of AnanueHses Said to
CauSe Men to Forget How
To Spell.

Tho practice of using an amanuen-
sis has become almost universal among
busy men Of affairs" said Magazine
street wholesaler, according to the
Pittsburgh News. land it's death on
photography. defy any man who has
dictated to a stenographer for as long
a period of time as two years to SIT
down and write an ordinary business
letter without making at least four
or five ridiculous blunders In spelling.
Skill In English photography is purely
an arbitrary accomplishment. It's a
feat In mnemonics and doesn't neces-
sarily presuppose the possession OF any
special intellectual gifts. The only way
that the average man retains his abil-
ity to spell with reasonable correct
ness is by keeping constantly In prac-
tice and seeing the written words be-
fore his eyes. Let him suspend that
mental exercise for a short time and
the first thing you know he'll be spell
ing elephant with two Is.
THE stenographer habit is bad as
cocaine-when once you begin It you've
got to keep 1t up or you're lost. IL at
tempted to write letter Of any length
at present my correspondent would be
certain to set me down as scandalous
ignoramus, and l believe nine-tenths
of the business men IN the city are in
the same boat. The memory Of most
people, by the way, is chiefly graphic
as far as spelling Ia concerned. Imean
by that that they have to write a word
down on paper and see how 1t looks be-
fore they are certain about It's orthog-
raphy. That is why they become rusty
30 quick as soon as they give up the
personal handling Of the pen. In me-
dieval times the upper classes didn't
pretend to know how to write. They
left that to professional scriveners, and
we appear to be drifting back to that
happy condition of affairs"

A CHIVALRIC BIRD.
The Golden-Crowned Thrush Ar
ranges q Dainty Compartment
for His Mate.

Even the birds recognize woman's
rights-at least so an Audubonite lee
turer declared the other day in describ-
ing the habits of the golden-crowned
thrush, more familiarly known as the
oven-bird. The word "oven" merely re-
fers to the shape of the philosophers
nest, which usually is built on the
ground with a dome-like roof. Even
the family name suggests fire, being
Furnariidae, says the Baltimore News.
But the way in which the nest Is
built explains the birds answer to
eternal feminine" demands. A parti-
ton divides the "oven" into two COM
partments. The inside one Is for the
lady bird and has luxurious feather
bed. The outer room Is the gentleman
birds boudoir, and its only furniture
is rough clay couch.
The head Of the family has golden
crown-which he deserves, for he's
gentleman and a scholar-a regular
bird of q bird, to fall into the slang OF
the day-who might teach something
to humanity - masculine humanity,
that Is.

THINNING OUT FRUITS.
| Really Satisfactory Results Are
to Be Obtained.

The average farmer pays little or
no attention to thinning fruit. If the
tree is overloaded, so that the limbs
bend almost to the breaking point,
some will set props under the limbs
to keep them from breaking entirely
down, while others more careless will
let the limbs break off. They may
complain of the size and quality OF
the fruit when it is harvested, but
few think it necessary or will take
the trouble to thin out in good sea-
son, and thereby not only save the
trees. but secure fruit of much bet
ter quality. In nearly all cases a
tree making a thrifty growth will, il
left unmolested, set more fruit than
under ordinary conditions it should
be allowed to mature. In fact, one
cause, though not the only one, OF
trees failing to bear is on account of
being allowed to overbear one year,
lowering the vitality to such an ex-
tent that the tree is incapable OF
bearing the next year.
Thinning can be done to an advan-
tage where fruit of good size and
quality is desired. But if anything
like satisfactory results are secured
it must be done in good season, rea-
sonably soon after the fruit sets.
The larger the fruit Is allowed to
become before thinning the greater
the drain upon the tree and the less
good will result.
It of course seems troublesome to
90 to fruit trees and take off from
one-fourth to oDe-hah the specimens,
selecting those that are too close to-
gether and that are the least promis-
ing, yet when there is a full crop and
uniform choice fruit is desired, thin
ming becomes necessary. And when
it is to he done advantage should be
taken of the first favorable opportun-
ity for doing the work. Peaches, pears
and grapes especially can be thinned
to an advantage, and in many cases
apples also.-N. J. Shepherd, in Farm
era' Voice

INVENTIONS OF INSANE MAN.

Until quite lately there lived lu-

tailor before losing his balance and
knew nothing Of ships and anchors.
But he drew the diagrams and made
the models for this fruit Of his dis
ordered brain and one day a man
who visited him and saw the plans
was greatly taken with them, says
London Answers.
He obtained permission, patented
and put the anchor on the market 1t
was favorably received and at the end
of two years the invention had
brought him $4,000 Half of this the
capitalist who had marketed the an

HARD TACK IS LOVES ENVOY.
MensaRe on an Army Biscuit During
the Late War Leads to a Sol
dier's Marriage.

An interesting romance which was
brought about by the Spanish-Amer-
lean war has just come to light in
Franklin, Pa. When war was declared
William Barber. who lived with his
parents on a farm q few miles from
this city, came to Franklin and Joined
company F, Sixteenth regiment, and
went with his company to Camp
Meade, where he was accepted for
service against Spain. The army ra-
ton of hard tack soon became tire
some to Barber and others in the
company, says a local exchange, and
while on his way to the national
camp at Chickamauga he conceived a
plan to secure better food. He wrote
his name and company address on
piece of hard tack, together with an
appeal TO some good southerner to
send at least one square meal to camp,
Hanging out Of the car window he
threw the hard tack at the first house
the train passed. 1t fell into the
hands of the daughter OF Col. Ray,
who, with her father, appeared at the
Chickamauga camp the following
Sunday with a big basket Of food.
Barber was invited to visit them and
he did 80 whenever there was oppor-
tunity. The colonel owns a rich plan
tation. A few days ago Barber mar
ried the daughter and has gone to
Tennessee to live.

Spraying with Petroleum.

81 have been using petroleum for
spraying my fruit trees" said we'll
known grower the other day. This
was recommended by Prof. j. b.
Smith, of the New Jersey experiment
station. OF course we always try
these new remedies with more or less
apprehension. 1t is that way with
every new thing. They may be all
right, and yet there is a certain
amount of danger. 1 sprayed the
trees before the leaves appeared, and
1 must confess that watched care
fully to see them start. There they
are growing nicely, and apparently
uninjured. The scales are, 1 think,
destroyed. You will observe that the
bark feels soft and greasy. I think
this is a good thing, for it loosens the
bark and prevents the tree getting
into the condition which would be
called hidebound in horse"

rreea Prevent Enumeration.

Tree planting for an unusual pur-
pose has been recommended to resi-
dents of the western irrigation dis
tricts by w. L. Hall, assistant super
intendent of tree planting Of the di-
vision of forestry, who has recently
been in New Mexico on an investiga-
ton. Agriculture in that region de-
ponds largely on irrigation, and the
streams and reservoirs are much de-
pleted by evaporation due to the heat
and dry winds. Mr.. Hall recommends
that belts of trees be planted along
every ditch and reservoir, not only
to shade them, but to shelter them
from wind. The problem Of prevent
ing evaporation is very important, not
only on account of the loss of water,
but because the percentage of alkali
in the quantity remaining becomes
