GOT IT IN TIME.

Ills Confident Reliance Upon Dete0.
 tives Justined by Results.
 "It does not always follow that a man Is able to detect because he Is of flcially known as a detective" was the remark made at the headquarters of the police department the other day.
 There are many people, however, who think that such should be the case. A man who had evidently had no experience al detective matters called one day and reported the theft of bicycle. His manner of making the report amused those who heard what he had to say.
 "T want to get my wheel by next Thursday he said, because I'm going away on the $40 o'clock train
 "Can't give guarantee in such matters he was told.
 "'Don't forget said the owner of the wheel as he started to leave the of flee, I'm going away on Thursday, and I'd like to take the wheel with me-
 His complaint was given the usual attention, and, strange as it may seem, his wheel was recovered the day he wanted 1t and in time for him to take 1t away on the train"
 "who said SherlockY' inquired the detective after the wheel had been turned over to its owner.-Washington Star.

 One dark night watchman fell asleep at his post and failed to signal the lightning express. Leaping to his feet when the flying engine, as shriek- ing monster, shot by, he saw the train disappear and realized that the draw bridge was open and all the passengers were lost. It was too much for human brain. The man went stark mad. Friends found him shivering and cow ering in the corner of his room a raving maniac, muttering to himself, "Oh, if only had; if l only hadw Here comes laundering along the limited express full of gospel invitation. The train is flying with the speed of the lightning. What are you going to do in reference to Christ before 1t Is too late? Over the dark abyss of sin will you throw the strong, straight beam of the cross, or will you let evil companions crush your hopes into ruins? Shall you be smiled at by the angel of hope or hissed at by the voice of despair? Will you accept this Jesus as your friend?

Now e Then. Safety Depends on strsng
 Walls and . Brave Garrison.
 If you and were defending a castle we should, of course, look especially to those places where the walls were lowest and weakest. Now the human body is a castle. The better we understand where our weak spots are and how to cover them from at tack, the longer we shall keep possession. We must defend Castle Body when it is first threatened, and not wait until the enemy has made a lodgment inside the walls. The bad things, the wastes, the i'm purities, the poisons are, when all is right, thrown out of Castle Body by means of the Lungs, the Bowels, the Kidneys, the Skin-these four scavengers. But when the first three are bothered by indigestion and dyspepsia, the skin has more work than it can do. Now the man exposes his skin, or some part of it, to the cold. The skin is clogged at once. Inflammation fol- lows, the poison goes to weak spots and he is sick.
 Keep your system clean with the new medicine, Calcura Solvent, discovered by Dr. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, Kingston, N. Y. It cures Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Gout, ailments of the nutritive processes in every phase and the organic maladies so common and fatal among us. Try it and you will trust it.

Chinese Surgery.

Like most things in China, the prac- tice of surgery differs considerably from that in vogue in less enlightened western countries. Bone setting In the Celestial empire Is a complicated af- fair and doubtless much more eff1ca- cious than European methods. In set ting a fractured limb the surgeon does not attempt to bring the bones togeth- CT, but merely wraps the limb in red clay, inserting some strips of bamboo into the clay. These strips are swathed In bandages, and in the outer bandage the head of a live chicken Is placed. Here comes in the superior science of the Celestial After the bandage has been secured the fowl is beheaded, and its blood Is allowed to penetrate the fracture, for 1t nourlshes the fractured limb and is heap good medicine"

Exx.hell Farm For Children.

An eggshell farm is a part of one of the primary school departments of study in Buffalo. Each child takes an eggshell about two-thirds whole. The child's name is written on the shell, and after a lesson on soils sufficient earth is placed in the shell to fill it. Each one in a room is given the same kind of seed to plant. After the plant becomes too large for the shell, the child is encouraged to take 1t home and plant in large garden.

Mississippi Broom Corn.

An organization has been form
ed in Noxubee county, Miss. to
test the culture of broom corn
with view toestablishing broom
corn plantations. Representa-
tlves of the association have stud
led the crop in Illinois and other
western states, and it is thought
that there will be no fficulty in
the way of raising as fine varie-
ties in Mississippi as can be
raised IN the northwest. In an
tebellum days broom corn was
raised on many plantations in
Mississippi and other southern
states, and from it were made all
the brooms used on the plan ia

formation on the Stsoiect =.
venting bitter rot in appies,~a
disease often the cause of great
loss to apple growers. This
bulletin, which has been prepar-
eddy Professors Burrilland Blair,
soys:
"a discovery just made, July,
II, founded upon tine observation
ofan Illionoisa pple.grower, seems
to give an opportunity not "cfore
possible to com bat the s-oarage,
and this circular is issued hastily
in the hope that a part Of the ap-
pie tree now liable to attack say
be saved. 1t is matter of COM
mon knowledge that the fruit fir It
infected in tree occupies d. f.
nate position in the branches.
In general terms, it may be said
that the disease shows IN conf
cal-shaped area with the apex up
ward, and this has been explain
ed by the fact that the sporse of
the fungus are adhesive so that
they cannot be distributed by
wind but can be readily washed
down by rain. The primary in
lection at the Apex of this cone,
commonly supposed tobe an earl
ier diseased apple, furnished it
was thought, the spores which
started the disease in the fruits
underneath. 1t has now, how
ever, been ascertained (and this
is the new fact in the case) that
this primary infection starts
in a canker upon the limb of the
tree. In this situation the fun
gas lives over winter and d.
carly as some ii ne in June be-
gins to produce spores BY which
the young appl.s are infected.

ed to this. AS, however, the
mummied fruit commonly falls
to the ground the matter remain
ed puzzle as to row the spores
could rise to the'tree. The new
observation recently made by US
in orchads showed that the lin b
canker was in every case the
source of primary infection, and
therefore, those cankersare much
more dangerous than the old
mummies. 1t isnot usually EASY
to locate 1t by the diseased spots
on the apples. With d little
practice, any one sharp enoug h
to detect these latter can quickly
find the former. Itseems, Their,
fore, entirely feasible to prevent
further infection by a critical
examination Of the trees at this
time of the year and the IRE moval
of the cankered limbs and fruits
already diseased from it.
Appearance of the Canker-
Tine bulletin asserts that crnker
may occur in limbs of any size
and that the spot is usually from
two to four inces long. The fun
gus kills the affected part, and
the new growth rises as a rim OF
healing tissue around it, so :ha,
the canker spot is sunken, and.
being rough and black, bears the
appea "once of an old ragged
wound. Observation shows that
the old bark is still present, ami
that the fungus causing the rot
is still ia this old bark. having
spores in clusters on its surface,

the frut.
Preventive Measures-The
following preventative measures
are devised by the bulleti,: Ex-
anime the orchard tree by tree,
following systematically the rows
perhaps on hors eoack or in
some some way TO look down as
much possible upon the fruit,
the infected spots b, ing usually
on the upper surfaces of the
apples. At this time of the wear
these spots are brown, circular,
and very slightly depressed. and
show clearly against the light or
rsddi,h color OF the apple. AS
soon as one spot is found search
for others and just above the up.
permost ones look for tt : canker-
ed limb. This limb is sure TO be
in such condition that spores
may be wash ed from it onto the
spotted fruit. 1t will now be an
easy matter to cut away the dis
eased limb and to remove the in
fected fruit below it. 1t will be

pies from that portion of the
