Not a penny nor a dime had he been able to find, and the only money he had in his possession was a $1O bill.

 Fred, it seems to me you're awfully careless with your change. I found whole handful of dimes and pennies in your overcoat pocket today. l was afraid you might lose them, so I saved them for you by putting them in my purse.'

 In the New York Geological Gardens is a specimen of the condor. This huge feathered freak belongs to the family which produces the largest known bird. Not only is the condor the largest bird that flies, but in its flight 1t goes higher than any other living creature.

AS the evening wore on the lecturer

This evidently was the idea which

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

cessories to the joint and entree, but as
separate dishes, TO be enjoyed by them
selves. For instance, caullflOwer
masked with white sauce and perhaps
scattered over with grated Parmcsan
is a fayOrite dish. Another vegetable
course consists OF tomatoes nicely
Drowned with bread crumbs. Fried
parsnips may also occupy place to
themselves I'm the menu, and potato
balls are also good.
There are endless delicious dishes TO
be made from vegetables only or with
the addition Of rice and brown or
white sauce. Haricots and butter
beans served with pie crust are most
appetlzlng. We make great mistake
I'm falling 10 serve vegetables as n

imaginary than real, however, as the
dealer wants profits on the material, as
he would have on the manufactured
goods But II the farmer decides TO do
this we advise him against the buying
Of raw phosphate rock or bone and
mixing 1t with sulphuric acid. The
carboys OF acid are unpleasant things
to handle, as the acid burns clothing or
flesh wherever II touches them, and
railroads charge high rates OF freight
on them because Of the danger OF
breaking in transportation. II Is bet
ter TO buy the acid phosphate II TO 10

wceviIy wheat rs Food.

Those who have wheat injured by
the grain moth or weeyil will do well
10 remember that wheat contains near
ly 1874 per cent Of digcstible protein,
while oats have but 9h per cent and
corn about per cent, says The Amer
lean Cultlyator. We do not know how
much this may be reduced by the ac-
ton Of the insects, and 1t may even be
increased by their working on the
starch contents. but such wheat may
prove valuable food for poultry or
hogs, though we doubt II the digestive
organs OF the hogs would destroy the
larya rs would the grinding giZZards
OF fowl. At least II we fed II out we
would not use the manure the animals
made to grow wheat unless we were
assured on that point.
