The desire to try everything
new that is introduced sometimes
leads to mistakes. No new plant
should be adopted until the far.
mer is satisfied that it is better
than something already used by
him. Alfalfa is a success in some
portions of the East, but it can.
not take the place of red clover.
In the West, especially in Colora-
do, alfalfa thrives better than clio
yer. The climate and soil should
always be considered. Before
growing something new as crop
first test it on a small plot.

crooked they do not cause incon-

be saved and the field work ren.

Bengal Tigers,

The man eater is usually an older
tiger, whose strength is failing and
whose teeth have partly lost their
sharpness. Such beast finds it easier
to lurk in the vicinity of settlements
and to pick up an occasional man, wo-
man or child than to run down wild
cattle.
The largest, fercest and most bright
" colored tigers are found in the prov
ince of Bengal, near the mouths Of
the Ganges river and not far from
Calcutta. a full grown Bengal tiger
sometimes measures ten feet from nose
to tip Of tail. Such a monster makes
no more account Of springing upon a
man that cat does Of seizing mouse.
He surpasses the lion in strength and
ferocity and has no rival among beasts
Of prey except the grizzly bear and the
recently discovered giant bear Of Alas
ka.-St. Nicholas.

Draw Corks Easily.

If you want to amuse friends ct an
evening party, tell them that you can
draw a cork out Of any bottle without
corl1screw. Of course they will
laugh, but very soon it will be your
turn tc laugh.
Take piece of sealing wax and hold
one end Oft over lamp or gas jet un-
til it becomes soft; then let some drops
of the wax fall on the cork in the bot
tie. AS soon as the cork is covered
with wax you must press the piece
which you hold in your hand against
the cork, and you must hold it there
until the wax is quite dry. Then it
will be easy for you to draw out the
cork by using the stick of wax, which
adheres to it in the same manner as
you would use q screw.
No matter how firmly fixed the cork
may be, it will almost Immediately
yield to the pressure. You must, how
ever, take care not to wrench the stick
of. wax away from it while you are
drawing it out, and you must also see
that the cork is perfectly dry before
you pour any wax on it.

Tls Charleston Naval Station.

An appropriation Of se57,3oo for the
construction of buildings at the
Charleson navy y.rd was added to the
naval bin In the Senate Monday, upon
the motion Of Sentor Hale. chairman
of the naval committee. That amount
Is TO be expended during the coming
FISCAL year in connection with the dry
dock and the necessary buildings.
Until recently it was feared that the
pressns session of Congress would end
without any provision for beginning
the actual construction OF the new
navy yard. There have been several
unfortunate delays in some Of the pre-.
Hninaries, but now it appears that al!
ef the obstacles have been, or soon will
be, brushed away, so that the people
Of Charleston msy lave an opportuni-
y TO see the great naval station in the
course Of construction.
Senator Till1nan deserves a full
measure of credit for securing the ap-
propriasion which was made by the
Senate.
