was a success, and this year thousands
of bushels of the seed are being i'm

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
One Glimpse of His Future Wife.
Gillette's Cruise-The Emper-
or Not an Orator.

How the Chinese minister ut Wash
ington, WI Ting Fang, secured when
young man and about to be married
the unusual privilege of seeing before
the wedding day the girl who was to
be his wife was told by him to several
friends, relates The Saturday Evening
Post.
In China our young men do not Sc
lect wives for themselves, but leave it
to their parents" said he.
1--WE know that our parents want us
to be happy and we are willing to let
them judge who will make a good
wife. The young man is never per-
mitted to see before the ceremony the
one whom he is to marry.
1--WE have few unhappy marriages in
China, and perhaps that is because we
do not spend all the affection before
marriage, as it seems TO be the young
people in America sometimes do.
Il was very anxious to see the girl
my parents had chosen for me, but they
told me it would be impossible to have
an interview or even a formal meet
ing and that | could not even see her.
But after | had begged very hard they
finally consented to let me have one
look at her, and the permission over
joyed me.
$50 one day I sat by window be-
hind blind which entirely hid me.
After waiting n long time three young
women came down the street, and l
was told that one of them was to be
my future wife.
"'But which one? Which one is she?'
demanded eagerly, and when l was
told that it was the one on the outside
looked at lsr harder and with great
er delight than | ever looked at any
thing else either before or since"
The minister was silent for few
moments, and his mind was evidently
busy with the pleasant past. Then he
said, with a half chuckle:
What | was curious to know but
couldn't find out was whether the fu-
ture Mrs. WI knew l was looking at
her. Oh, it was entirely contrary to
Chinese etiquette-entirely- l shall
never forget how happy l felt as my
bride to be came so prettily up the
| street"

"There are now wild frogs and barn.
yard frogs" says an expert. THE wild
frog is thin legged rascal who can
only sit and sing. The barnyard frog
sings few months, then goes to mar
ket Frog farming has been reduced
to science, and the business is one of
the most profitable in the country. The
demand for frogs is growing, for the
meat is clean, beautiful and delicious
and easily digested. 1t is the ideal
meat for invalids. Spring chicken is
gross compared with its delicate flavor.
Besides, frog is cleanly beast, and
one may eat him with assurance. Mil
lions of the swamp warblers are eaten
in the city every year, and prices are

Dropsy

starting in the feet or ankles
comes from a weak or diseased
heart-a heart that cannot keep
up the circulation. The blood
then settles in the lower limbs
where the watery portions ooze
out into surrounding tissues
causing bloat and swelling.
The heart must be strengthened
and built up before the dropsy
can be cured to stay; and the
best of all heart medicines is
Dr.. Miles Heart Cure.
"Heart disease caused my sons
ankles to swell to twice their
natural size and his body shook
with every beat. Four BOTTLES of
DR.. Miles Heart Cure cured
him." Mrs. A. NJ. DEMING,

The F A r M E r.

J. II. Hale told me the other day
something about his scheme of packing
peaches to music, says a writer in The
Rural New Yorker. In his packing
shed in Georgia the peaches come pour
ing In from the orchards and must be
sorted and packed without delay. He
found that as the afternoon passed
away the packers became tired and be-
gan to lag. The strings that connect
the mind with the fingers seemed to re-
lax and sag. He said he remembered
incidents of his own life and also what
he has heard soldiers say and conclud.
ed to try music. Every afternoon at
about O'Clock his orchestra struck up
They began playing soft, gentle music
and gradually quickened up until they
were playing the liveliest of jigs. The
effect on the packers was wonderful.
Their eyes frightened up, hands moved
faster and spirits rose, for the music
keyed up the tagging strings and made
the work lighter. Mr.. Hale says that
the packers actually did 30 per cent
more work, and instead of leaving the
shed with dropping shoulders and lag
ging head they felt like colts. | have
seen much of the same thing. No use
talking, the mind manages the muscle
Fun on the farm is the fungicide for
all the ills that lurk in gloomy
thoughts. Heaven help the farm fami-
ly that does not possess at least one
member whose soul is so full of sun
shine that the rest can't possibly shut
il off. | remember once going over to
our back field with letters for Hugh,
Charlie and Uncle Ed. Hughs letter
was from his sister, Charles from his
sweetheart and Uncle Eds from his
wife. They were toiling and sweating
in the broiling sun, grubbing out
stumps and bushes and trying to plow.
These letters cost 6 cents in stamps,
yet for the rest of the day these young
men saw three girls sitting on the
fence at each turn, and many an ache
went out of the back. Don't shut off
honest fun, Mr.. Farmer, and encour-
age music all you can. Perhaps, like
me, you will encourage 1t more by re-
fusing to sing yourself, but if any one
shows an inclination for it cultivate it.
