Some years ago Il home missionary had
been preaching on an island whose prn-
cipal product is the clam. One day he re-
ceived an unexpected compliment g ia
the thoroughness of his spiritual work.
The good man was working in his shirt

captain hailed him:
Are you the minister here?'

Empire fashions, so attractive for
grown persons, are very appropriate for

In the Spanish city of Seville there are
no kindergartens or other places where
the busy mother can leave her little chill
dren to be cared for while she does the
homework or helps her husband in his
little shop. The baby is left to care for
himself and does so very well-that is the

A Clenning Mixture.

Borax is one of the best things for the
removal of grease spots from WOODEN
goods. A cleaning mixture Of which il
forms an important part is made by dis
solving an ounce of powdered borax in
a quart Of boiling water and setting 1t
aside to cool. When quite cold, add an
ounce of spirits of camphor, and it is
ready for use.

TIE MODE.
The Yoke Is the Favorite Accessory
of the Season.

Yokes of one kind and another are very
much worn by both children and grown
persons Sometimes they pass under the
bodice Ikea guimpe; sometimes they make
one with it, being applied or incrusted
sometimes they are separate and are sim
ply laid over the shoulders, like a peler-
inc or long collar, with sleeve caps falling
over the top of the sleeves.
AS for the form and style of yokes, they
are infinitely varied. Round, square or
heart shaped, dropping over the top of
the shoulder or carried across it, cut in
festoons at the edge or straight, they are
constructed according to the taste and
fancy of the wearer and the kind of gown
they are to accompany. The present mo-
ment being much influenced by empire
fashions, the majority of yokes are large,

Had you ever thought what an
inexpensive crop Is broom corn, and
what . price it bringsf Suppos Q,
farmer friends, In diversifying your
crops you give broom corn try. A
great deal Of your poor mp land might
be used to advantage. We dip the
following from the Southern Field,
from which you can get an idea of
the money to be made by raising
broom corn. $65 per acre beats cotton
. long ways:
1t 10 stated that the price of.broom
corn is now $3.50 ton, and that it is
difficult to procure it at that high
price.
"The value Of broom corn depends
upon it's color and fibre, the former
largely controlled by the method and
care taken in curing it, and the latter
due to the soil conditions where It is
grown.
The yield Of clean, merchautable e
broom straw is said to vary from 400
to ], 900 pounds to tho acre. Last
year farmer near Courtland, Alabam
planted two acres of broom corn. He
gave it no attention except to have a
man one day pull up corn where it
was too thick. 1t was not plnughad, i,
hoed or cut at the proper time, being
allowed to over-ripeu, and when cnt
Was left on the ground until mildewed
yet from the two acres there were
sold l ,295:pounds at two and half cents
. pound. This corn would have rend'l
brought four cents pound had 1t not
been damaged.
There are several broom factories
In the South, and they arc always In
the market for broom straw.
Besides the straw, broom corn yields
ss much fodder as does Indian corn
and also from ten to thirty bushels Of
seed to tho acre, which is very usef ul
for general farm purposes. Remov ins
the seed and preparing the straw fol
market 10 n simple and inexpensive
matter. The cultivation is similar to
that for Sorghum and Kaffir corn
Tho richer the soil the better the crop
broom corn will grow however, or
poor or upland soils. The time to
harvest varies with the latitude from
July to September.
In the South the cost Of land, labor
and living Is much less than in the
North"

New York. April 24-Het,y Green,
known as one of the most unselfish wom-
en- III the world. is firm in the belief tina t.
charity should have its beginning at
home and gradually wend its way to the
furtherinost quarters of the earth.
Whether this idea of giving freely has
long been fostered in the mind of .the
aged woman. or whether ii has recently
been born, is not a matter of record.
one OF the most recent gifts of nota
bestowed by Mrs. Green has just come
to light. and shows the kindness of the
heart which some persons have been so
unfeeling as to designate as "fiinty." She
made present of $40 to two needy look
ing newspaper reporters. directing them
to buy umbrellas by which they might
evermore remember Hetiy Green.
In the Wilds of New England.
This unprecedented action on the part
OF Mrs. Green was made far in the Willis
of New England. in little town
TAUNTON. The tinancier had gone there
III search of more wealth. having
brought lawsuit against w. w. Grape
over the title of some property.
Crapo's remarks on the stand were a
little aerid. He said Mrs. Green had
visited him several times asking him not
to 1le certain records in the case for
fear there might be some increase in the
taxes If the contents of the paper should
be made public.
Went to the Reporters Table.
While some of the documents We're be-
ing examined by the court. Mrs. Green
suddenly arose and, With a benignant
smile on her face walked toward
the table where three reporters We're sit
ting. Two of them constituted the repor-
torlal force of Taunton, While the third
was from New Bedford.
Mrs. Green beamed pleasantly upon the
Taunton men, and then murmured sweet
ly:
How do you do, young men,"
The reporters blushed.
Il like you very much.'' Mrs. Green
continued, do you think you will re-
member me-" ono
There We're more bushes on the part
of the Taunton men: but the individual
from New Bedford was so unfortunate
as to giggle. Mrs. Green glared at him.
Nov, you two" she said to the others.
you remember me. l want you each
to have an umbrella by which to remind
you of me whenever it rains. Don't say
anything to that fellow on the other
side of the table I don't like him, but
you buy the umbrellas"
Then she slipped the $40 note into one
of their hands and walked away as if
we'll pleased.
