Consumption is a human
weed Aourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is

is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.

deceive yourself any longer.

FertiIixing the Orchard

There is reason for believing that
the orchard needs fertilizing even
more than the ordinary field crops. A
part of the fertilizing element of the
latter is returned to the soil each year.
The plant food that is taken up in the
orchard is taken away from the soil
forever. None is returned to it. 1t is
estimated that in single season an
acre of apple trees will draw from the
soil 40 pounds of nitrogen, So pounds
of phosphorus acid, and 72 pounds of
potash. These must be returned OF
the productiveness of the orchard will
be 1ost.-Prairie Farmer.

THE REAL KING OF FRUITS.
At Any Time and in Amy Place the Good Old Reliable Apple
 Tops the Heap.

The boy is indeed the true apple eater, and is not to be questioned how he came by the fruit with which his pockets are filled. It belongs to him and he may steal it if he cannot have it in any other way, says John Bur roughs' "Winter Sunshine.'' His own juicy flesh craves the juicy fruit of the apple. Sap draws sap. His fruit-eat- ing has little reference to the state of his appetite. Whether he be full of meat or empty of meat he wants the apple just the same. Before meal or after meal it never comes amiss. The farm boy munches apples all day long. He has nests of them in the hay-mow melloWing,+ to which he makes ire quent visits. Sometimes old Brindle, having access through the open door, smells them out and makes short work of them.
 The genuine apple eater comforts himself with an apple in their season as s.others with a pipe or cigar. When he has nothing else to do or is bored he eats an apple. While he is waiting for the train he eats an apple, some times several of them. When he takes a walk he arms himself with apples. He offers an apple to his companion and takes one himself. They are his chief solace when on the road He sows their seed all along the route. He tosses~ the seed from the car window and from the top of the stage coach. He would in time make the world one vast orchard. He dfspenses with a knife. He prefers that his teeth shall have the first taste. Then he knows the best flavor is immediately beneath the skin and that. in a pared apple this is lost. If you will stew the apple, he says, instead of baking it, by all means leave the skin on. It improves the color and vastly heightens the flavor of the dish.
 The apple is masculine fruit; hence women are poor apple eaters. It be- longs to the open air, and requires an open-air taste and relish.

All things considered, the biggest baby among all the wild animals owned by the New York Geological so- ciety is an infant that is not an animal at all, but reptile-one of the herd of testudo, or giant tortoises, natives of the GaIagapos islands, says Woman's Home Companion. With his four com panions he forms one of the few relics we have left to us of the life of the Pleocene age; these tortoises are the sole survivors of the prehistoric rep tiles. The young testudo is the small est. in the herd; he weighs only 66 pounds. His exact age is not positive ly known, but it is variously estimated that he must have seen from so to 100 years.

 "The hat of citizen was raised and carried against place on the other side of the street. A strapping fellow, who had been picking his teeth with a match as he sat near me on the varan- da, got up, whipped out navy revolver and fired shot at the hat, mailing it to the fence.

Tipping the Butchers.

E In the largest private market in New York nearly every woman who buys meat has her favorite butcher whom she tips with dime at each order, thereby compromising felony, for the fee invariably obtains for her an overweight of the purchase. Re- gently four of the 26 butchers em- ployed left their places. and opened an opposition market three blocks away. This aroused the suspicion of their former employer, who proceed ed to investigate. He learned that 20 of his butchers had been syste- matically robbing him for the sake of tips. If woman ordered three pounds of steak she would get 3h or four pounds in consideration of her dime. On Saturday a single order of meat worth seven dollars was found billed at $3.12. The day before the proprietor detected butcher in the act of giving away four-pound chicken to woman who had tipped him regularly for years. She had reached the door when he collared her. Her pleading kept her out of iail.--N. r. Press.

Fiupinoa stenIU. s. Mail.

The Manila Freedom prints cir cumstantiaI account of the finding of empty mail sacks in the possession of natives along the wharves. 4 GUS toms inspector, while endeavoring to straighten out number of cargoes which were massed together thereby nearly blocking the passage of the river, noticed United States mail bag on one of the boats, as 2 curtain to keep out the sun and rain from the little shelter built on the end of each.) The customs inspector took note of the fact at the time, and later, by inquiring of the Manila postal authorities, learned that all old bags that cannot be of further use are returned to tie United States. The finding of the mail sacks, in view of the fact that many valuable letters have been lost recently, leads to the belief that the natives have been robbing the mails.

VERY STRONG TOBACCO.
Rarique, Grown in the South and Put Up in Ropes, Is Too Powerful
 for Most Smokers.

In many of the tobacconists' shops perique tobacco, chopped into granu- lated form, is displayed for use by pipe smokers. This is the same per- ique that has been grown by French men and Spaniards in Louisiana since before our revolutionary war, says the New York Herald. It is jet black, intensely strong tobacco, famous for it's flavor and it's ability to wreck the nerves.
 It is grown and made in St. James parish, Louisiana, and the crop only amounts to about 100000 pounds a year. .5
 The makers follow the primitive processes which were in use 15o years ago. The stems are taken from the leaves and the latter put into a box, under heavy gradual pressure. This causes the juice to run out, even gradual process of fermentation and curing takes place. >.s At the end of three months the to- bacco is rolled into ''carrots" and wrapped in cloths, tightly bound with ropes. It is left in that way for a year before it is ready for market.
 The flavor of perique is considered delicious by all pipe smokers, but is too strong. The tendency of smokers is continually toward lighter and lighter tobacco, and perique is now used almost solely for mixing with very mild tobaccos to flavor it.
