WESTERN WATER FARMING.
wisconatnss Many Lakes Give Promise
Of Great Profit.

Wisconsin, Many Lakes Give Promise
of Great Profit.
Scientists who make 1t their business
to look ahead into the far future are
now busy telling what will happen
after all the land in the United States
has been put under cultivation. When
there are no more quarter sections up
on which the settler can establish him
self. 1t is predicted that water farm
ing will become general occupation.
This information is comforting to resi-
dents of Wisconsin. No state In the
Union has better facilities for water
farming than the one famous for the
number and beauty Of its lakes. When
the time comes for men to fence off
acre plots on the crystal waters of the
inland seas Wisconsin will have a
boom worth while waiting for with pa
thence. OF course there will be draw
backs to water farming, but the In
dustry offers great possibilities. AL
though it will be difficult to keep ones
crop of fish from being mixed with
ones neighbors', there will be no plow-
ing or narrowing, no wrestling with
stumps, and no trouble over irrigation.
After the fish are planted each season
there will be nothing to do but to wait
until harvest time BY little diplo-
matte advertising water farmers may
persuade city men to spend their va
cations on the lakes as assistants dur
ing this harvest season. Households
on the water farms would be ideal
places of residence during the hot
months. 1t is estimated that the Ash
cries Of the United States produce food
of the value of s45 ,000,0 900 every year.
AS soon as the water farming industry
has a good start, Wisconsin will be
able to add millions to this amount.
If the calamity bowler cannot find any
thing worse to prophesy about than the
water farm, this state can pursue daily
its business pursuits without any fore
bodings Milwaukee Sentinel.

"A COLD, HAUGHI1 LUCK.
they see the women of many lands
believe me when say that never met
or saw more beautiful woman than
your wife,"
If she be not fair to me, what care
j how fair she be?'" quoted the earl.
II am glad you think so. / do not
admire her style of beauty. II any
one else does. so much the better--I
do not object. There is the bell. Isn't
1t dreadful that the sound of the din
ner bell has greater charm for me
than the discussion Of ladys beau
tyr"
Lady Caraven FASTENED forward Her
husband said something to her; she
answered him with cold, naughty
look. Sir Raoul spoke; 1t was quite
another face that she turned to him
brilliant, tender, beautiful. She begged
him to take her arm. He looked at
her laughingly.
1t would be cruel to take 80 fair an
arm" he said, with a strong one like
Ulric's near"
Mine is strong with GOODWILL" she
said, smiling.
And Sir Raoul could not refuse. He
leaned as lightly as possible on the
lovely, round arm, but his heart was
warmed by her kindness
Then he set to work resolutely 70
watch her, to see if in any respect she
was deficient. He could not discover
anything. She took her place with
consummate grace. She was well
versed in all the etiquette of the table
she was charming hostess. He saw,
too, that with all her wealth and all
her beauty, she was an excellent mis-
tress of the household: her servants
were well trained and obedient.
II do not see myself" thought Sir
Raoul, what more Uric can desire"
He could detect no fault in her; but
he did stop to wonder what their din
ners must be like when they were quite
alone.
The earl might have guessed the
nature of his thoughts, for he said,
suddenly:
I'VE had some friends coming to
night, but / postponed their visit.

Raoul. We never dine alone"
The young countess made no re-.
mark Sir Raoul saw that she had
plenty OF self-control no matter how
sarcastic or bitter her husband was she
was never provoked to reply.
"She has that virtue" ne said to
himself. ''self-control- and it is a sure
foundation for many Others"

HOW TO KILL MOSQUITOES.
Chinatown Sells Cheap and Most En-
fectixe ObIitsrator.

1t is the experience of the average
housekeeper in Philadelphia that no
matter how thoroughly the doors and
windows of mouse are screened, mos
quitoes will get inside. Many OF them
do not understand that small pool of
stagnant water in a cellar or water
standing in pitcher plants Is birth
place for thousands OF mosquitoes. In
flower vases on the table, where the
water Is not frequently changed, mos
quito eggs are found in great numbers.
Applications of kerosene oil will stop
that. The general question is how to
get the small insect pests out of the
house when once they are in. To per-
sons of careful habits chlorine gas Is
recommended. Pour into plate con-
tanning four teaspo0nsfuls of chloride
of lime about ten drops of crude sui
phuric acid. This liberates the chlorine
gas, which is said to kill the mos
quitoes. The plan can be used only in
rooms not temporarily occupied, or in
which the gas yapors can be allowed
to remain for several hours. The burn
ing of pyrethrum powders in room
will also kill them. The powder should
be moistened and then made into lit
tie cones, which are dried in the oven.
When cone is lighted at the top 1t
shoulders slowly, emitting an odor
which many persons find pleasant. But
a good, simple and cheap mosquito
killer may be bought in Chinatown.
The Chinese use pine or Juniper saw
dust, mixed with small quantity of
birthstone and an ounce Of arsenic
This mixture is put into little bags in
dry state. Each bag Is coiled like
snake and tied tightly with thread.
The outer end is lighted. The coils sell
at 10 cents hundred and two of them
are said to be enough to clear any or.
binary room of mosquitoes.

IL do not understand much about the

II do not think he will refuse; but l

He told the artist that he believed
Lord Caraven was even then In the
house, and that if he pleased he would
send for him. The earl came in, Won
dering what could have induced Lum-
ley Atherstone to ask for him. The
artist soon explained. Lord Caraven
looked at him in wonder.
You wish to paint Lady Caraven's
portrait?" he said blankly. But l
thought you were rather particular,you
know"
Il hope / am, my lord" was the cold
reply mo artist could have fairer

Well" said the earl, in tone of res
ignation, Il shall begin to think that |

Lady Caraven be willing, / shall have
no objection"
Thank you," responded the artist.
II shall hope to find time to call on the
countess tomorrow.
81 am very pleased you have given
your consent, Ulric," said Sir Raoul;
II was wishing only yesterday that La
dy Caraven had had her portrait paint
ed. Mr.. Atherstone's picture will be
one Of the finest in Ravensmere.
IF it reaches there" thought the
earl. "My opinion is that the whole
world has gone mad together"
He was rather struck, after all: 1t
startled him to find the best Judge Of
beauty in England speak in such rap
turous terms about the countess. 1t
was mistake, of course; but the
strange thing was to find an artist Of
such note mistaken-it did not often
happen. He left Sir Raoul to tell the
news to his wife-he would not have
complimented her so highly.

The artist sat quite still, rapt in a
dream. Suddenly he turned to the
soldier.

then Raoul was always different from
other men-a preux chevalier. For
whole days together the earl did not
see his wife, and oftener now than
ever he dined from home.
One evening the earl was more than
usually disagreeable. Some friends
were dining with them, and during din
ner Lord Caraven began to speak of
one of his acquaintance who had
gone abroad for his honeymoon.
Another added to the long list of
victims" he another name writ
ten on the scroll of folly. He was a
man who had everything he desired,
vet he got married. want word for
such folly"
Uric" said Sir Raoul sharply
pardon me--that is not the way a
married man should speak"
Pardon me-" said the earl, laughing
ly-"it Is only married man who can
speak so. You outsiders know nothing
of the matter. Distance lends en-
chantment,' you know"
Sir Raoul saw a crimson flush mount
to Hildred's white brow. Suddenly the
young countess spoke. Her voice
sounded pitilessly sweet and was as
clear as bell.
II quite agree with Lord Caraven,"
she said; eff there be one folly greater
than all others. it is that which we
call by the name of marriage"
There was dead silence for a min
ute; even Lord Caraven felt that he
had gone too far-that he had spoken
in an undignified, ungentlemanly fash
ion; then came Sir Raoul to the res
cue.
1T is an old institution" he said;
abuse, has any one read the Saturday s.
singing review of Captain Hartlake's
great military work."
This changed the conversation; but
that night, when the young countess
was about to retire, she went across the
room to Raoul, and her soft fingers
closed over his.
Il want to say goodnight and to
thank YOU" she said. 81 want to say
also that you have been very kind. and
that feel sure you believe in what is
good; SO pray for me--pray for me-
for am frightened at myself"
He repeated the words after her,
wondering at them. Frightened at
herself, poor child!"
Amongst the friends who came to
see Sir Raoui was Lumley Atherstone,
the famous artista genius who lived
for art
He was sitting one morning talking
to Sir Raoul when Lady Caraven en-
tered. He had not seen her before,
and he at once admired her. When
Hildred had spoken to Sir Raoul, and
talked for few minutes with the ar
fist, she went away. With dreamy
eyes Lumley Atherstone looked after
her.
"She is very beautiful, Sir Raoul,'
