BROOM-CORN FOR FOOD.

New Cereal Can BE Prepared in Many Ap-
petiz;.G Ways-Russian Breakfast Dish.
A new kin6 of cereal food for hui
man consumption is to be introduced
in this couiitry, if the department of
agriculture can persuade people to eat
it. 1t is broom-corn millet, and the
plant was brought hither from Eu-
rope not long ago by botanical agents
of the government, for use as forage.

for people inasmuch as it may be pre-
pared in many appetizing ways. 1t
produces, under favorable conditions.
GO bushels of grain (seed) to the acre,
so that, in view of its highly nutri-
tious qualities, it is most economical
and otherwise desirable plant.
This broom-corn millet is so called
because, when growing in the fields,
it looks like broom-corn. There are
a number of varieties, and the seeds
Chat is, the hulls of them) are of diff
ferent colors--yellow. white, brown
and gray. A graceful spreading tas-
sci crowns the stalk.
In Russia. where the plant 8
grown almost whony for use as human
food, it is called "proco." People in
that country eat it for breakfast in a
form like oaten grits, or press the grits
into cake and use them with soup.
The cereal also appears on their table
in pancakes, such as we make out of
buckwheat or Indian corn. Among
the peasants. especially in the region
of the Volga. the broom-corn millet is
largely consumed.
One may judge of it's popularity, in
deed. when it is stated that from co.
100000 to 100000 bushels of the
grain are produced in Russia yearly.
A special study was made of It re-
Gently by DR.. NJ. A. Carleton, who was
sent to Russia by Secretary Wilson to
gather agricultural information. He
says that the broom-corn millet can
be grown most successfully in this
country in the northern plains region
in the Dakotas. Minnesota and Ne

BECOMES A MARQUISE.
PHILADELPHIA HEIRESS BECOMES
WIFE OF TITLED SPANIARD.
They Met Amid the Ruins of Old
Mexico-Love Was the Only Language
They Knew In Common u Recalls the
Revolutionary War.

"A pretty romance had its end in the
marriage the other day of Miss Fran
ces B. Holmes, wealthy heiress of
Philadelphia, to the Marquis de Klaves
Hecmosa.
The two met in Mexico among Aztec
ruins. Both were wanderers. He could
not speak English. She could not
speak Spanish. He tried to tell her
the deeds of his ancestors, who came
across the sea and ruled in the land
of the Sun God.
But she could not understand, and
she was far more interested in the
man than in the tale he told. So she
tried to teach him English-a word
here and there. That was only few
months ago. Now they are married.
The wedding has interfered with the
lessons in English. The Marquis is
still unable to speak word of the
language. But the marquise has
learned a few words of Spanish, and
she acts as his interpreter.
The new marquise is the only
Holmes of Philadelphia. The family
residence is a beautiful old place.
Mother and daughter are we'll supplied
with worlds goods.
The majority of her relatives are
quiet, matterof-fact people. But there

Hall and Parlor in One.

There is a growing tendency among
housewives who have to live in the
often cramped spaces of the modern
house to throw hall and parlor into
one, thus making fair-sized room
which they use as a living room-hall.
Interior decorators usually object to
this plan as lacking privacy, because
drafts blowing from the stairway. and.
in the case of entertain clcnt. the visi-
tor is ushered at once INTO the presence
OF the family. For 4 country house,
where calling is much more informal
and the season they are inhabited
drafts are welcome, they, however,
recommend this plan.

The Sultau's Little Joke.

An amusing story is told of little
Jest practised by the sultan at the ex-
pense of the medical experts. When
the plague broke out in his capital the
sultan asked if anything was known
as to the cause. On being informed
that it was found to be in the state of
the drinking water he called at once
for six empty bottles which he had
filled in his presence, all from the same
one of the palace wells, placed his
own seal upon them, and then, without
divulging their community of origin,
handed all six to prominent analyst
To his amazeiGent, the report sent
in that four of the samples contained
plague microbes. The fifth was merely
putrid water, and the sixth was quite
pure. Abdul Hamid merely shrugged
his shoulders and kept his thoughts
to hinlself.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The Fashionable Screen.

Screens of hugely blossomed Gre
tonne are the fashion for a feminine
bedroom. Those of plain green with
tapestry square let into each panel
near the top still hold their own for
a library or living room, but the leath-
er one, of heavy, metallic-finished
roanskin, fastened on with huge bronze
nailheads, is far and away in the lead
for hall or dining room. In fact so
popular and fashionable have these
become that they are used everywhere.
Their price of from $40 to SIS will
keep them exclusive.

How to Have n Good Light.

I will tell the young housewife in
little practical talk not only how to
keep from breaking So many lamp
chimneys, but also how to clean
lamp so as to have clear, steady,
brilliant light, for l think in your first
housekeeping we'll kept lamp is an
important factor, not only for happi-
ness and cheerful conversation around
it, but for your health and eyesight
also.
Lamp chimneys are not so liable to
break upon exposure to changes of
temperature if they are put in pan
of cold water and allowed to heat
gradually until the water is boiling hot,
then allow it to cool again. The COM
mon kerosene lamp used in almost
every household will give bright,
clear light if properly cared for. The
bowl of the lamp should be kept full
of oil, but when not used the wick
should be turned down, to keep the
oil from oozing out. If the wick is
soaked in vinegar, then thoroughly
dried before it is put in the lamp, it
will not smoke. When you wish to
clean the flues, founts, ETC., wash them
in a suds made by dissolving tea
spoonful Of pearline into pint of hot
water. Clean WELL then rinse in clear,
warm water and wipe dry in soft
cheesecloths. Fill your lamps every
day and clean every day also. See that
the fiues fit tightly. AS you live in
the country you will use lamps alto
gether, and this is an excellent method
for cleaning.-N. H H., in Farm,
Field and Fireside.

Behind our mask we bear the brunt

 George Mechterscheimer has rac- cocn which is about the most intelli- gent animal in this vicinity. He caught 1t while out hunting one day last spring. and he brought 1t home to exhibit it to his friends. The raccoon was a little fellow just barely able to walk and was put in a cage and placed at the back of the saloon.
 The little fellow would stand no fool ing. however, and at the least attempt to approach him would snap and bite like a wildcat He was well fed and everything done to make the animal comfortable In time he became more tame and at last he was allowed the liberty of the saloon. He became a favorite with everybody who came in contact with him and soon learned how to do a number Of tricks. He eats q dozen bananas a day and will go through the pockets of any one whom he knows, usually finding something. He and Rap. Georges spaniel. are great chums. and it is couical to watch the two together, the dog letting the coon get on his back and drive him around the place.

SOCIAL AFFArRs.

Tne social world of the United States is interested in the rumor that soon perhaps in few weeks--Miss May Handy. the celebrated Richmond beau- ty, win be married to James Brown Potter.
 IL is good to feel that some real hap piness may enter the life of this noble man whose heart and home was strand ed by a vain. empty brained and empty hearted woman who left him and their little daughter for the stage and a male matinee favorfte.
 That daughter, who was nothing in the life of her mother. is now happily married and the father is free to look to his own happiness. His conduct through the whole of his misfortunes has been such as to gain the profound respect of all who know the history Of their separation and divorce.
 He obtained a divorce from his wife in June. 1spo.
