"No PARTING There"

"Uncle Joe" Cannon sat in the rear
seat of an F street car this morning
looking happily at the world and sing
ing softly to himself the old hymn,
'There Will Be No Parting There"
Representative Mann sat beside him,
reading paper.
Hello, joe" said Mann. whats
this-a conference at the White
House last night on tariff revision?"
There will be no parting there"
sang uncle Joe" melodiously.
What do you think of that?" asked
Mann.
There will be no parting there"
warbled Uncle joe" Then he said,
suddenly:
"Conundrum: If it takes six months
to pass a Cuban reciprocity bill, how
long will it take to revise the tariff?
There will be no parting there" con-
tinued Uncle Joe," full and strong
and sweet.

mumbled Representative Mann, with
his big bass voice, and then they both

EFFECTIVE CHECK FOR
THE SAN JOSE SCALE.

Prof. w. j. Green, Of Ohio, says:
various mixtures have been proposed
Tor this insect and number have been
round to be more or less effective. 1t
is hardly possible, however, to apply
any remedy with such thoroughness as
10 reach every scale, and because Its
natural enemies are few and Its rate
OF reproduction very rapid, complete
efadlcation is practically impossible,
put by treatment each season it is en-
tlrely practicable to hold it in check.
Inc choice of compound with which
10 make treatment is not to be deter
mined alone by it's efficiency, but by It's
availability and practicability as well.
Resin washes, composed of resin, pot
ash and fish oil, have been found to
be efficient, but are troublesome to
prepare in a small way. The same Is
true of whitewash made OF lime,
sulphur and salt Whale oil soap,
when used as strong as two pounds
to a gallon of water, and applied with
thoroughness, is a good remedy. lts
cost precludes it's use in many cases
and the difficulty of finding suitable
weather conditions for the application
of it makes results with it quite vari-
able. While not without objections,
crude petroleum has been found, IN
most cases, to meet the requirements
better than any other remedy yet tried
at the Ohio Experiment Station. The
thin, light grade is safer and less trou-
blesome to use than, the thick, heavy
grade, although When diluted with wa
ter the latter is less Objectionable than
if used clear. Refined oil is more
harmful than crude.

Elton has loose fronts that open over
vest embroidered with beige and
pale blue Corticelli Flo silk, similar
embroidery adjoining the deep peler-
inc collar. The sleeve is decidedly
novel and deserves special mention.
1t is cut with point edged with a
band of stitched wolfe and is COM
pleted with a kind of under sleeve of
cream liberty silk formed into puffs
with straps of beige velvet. Beige
velvet ribbon in darker shade
adorns both the jacket and skirt. The
latter shows the fashionable sheath
effect and in addition to the velvet a
trimming of straps in inverted scol-
lops stitched with Corticelli silk.
The new skirts are fitted closely at
the hips but flare very much indeed
below the knees. A great many skirts
with hip yokes are shown, either of
shirring, tucking or tiny bands, joined
with a fancy open stitch. Some very
attravtive skirt models in sheer mate

from the waist to the knees and below
that there is a prettily shaped founce
with insertions of cream lace and
garniture of narrow gathered ribbon.

BEN DAVIS APPLES ARE
GROWING IN POPULARITY.

In the cities we hear no more COM
plant about the lack of flavor of Ben
Davis. 1t has been about the only ap-
pie the common people could get hold
of this past winter, and it has i'm
proved on acquaintance. 1t has been
retailing in the Chicago groceries at
IS cents per peck nearly all winter,
and now is quoted at 80 cents per
peck. In a good many stores the
buyer has had his pick Of Ben Davis
under three different names: Ben
Davis, Gano and New York Pippin.
The people-the buyers and eaters
are finding fault only with the price
they have to pay for Ben Davis. Never
theless, we expect that at the horticul-
tural meetings that are coming we
shall hear all kinds of bad things said
about Ben Davis, and that the person
that buys it never buys it a second
time. We know better now. The Ben
Davis is a wonderful apple because
it is with us when no other apple is
obtainable. 1t makes money for the
apple grower and it saves money to
the apple buyer. Let us have more of
it.

Forming New EyeIids.

A remarkable surgical triumph has
been won by Philadelphia doctor,
who has succeeded in grating a new
set of upper and lower eyelids on the
eyes OF man who lost his original
set in fire. The accident had left
both eyeballs entirely unprotected,
and there was danger of the victim
losing his sight entirely. When the
case was brought to the attention of
the doctor he resolved to graft four
new eyelids, if possible. taking the
skin from the hip of the patient. 1t
was necessary to proceed slowly, but
the experiment was successful from
the start. To-day the patient has four
new eyelids, which perform the nor.
NAL functions naturally.

! THE CITY OF POMpEII !
s y

What was Pompeii like before the
catastrophe? How did it's magnificent
buildings look before they were
buried under the stones and cinders
of Vesuvius? Few of the thousands
of visitors who have walked amid the
ruins of this wondrous city can form
any adequate idea of it's pristine
beauty, for it's fallen capitals and shat
tered columns speak an unknown
language to the ordinary observer.
Not so to the expert archaeologist
and architect. To him each fragment,
however small and shattered, tells a
stony story of the triumphs of Greek
al Roman art hurled to destruction
in an hour when, in the year 70, the
mighty volcano vomited stones, Gin
ders and lava upon the devoted city.
1t has remained for German archi-
tect and archaeologist, c. Weichardt,
to furnish at last an adequate idea
of Pompeii as it was-of the great
temples, especially, with which it
was adorned. He has made drawings
which may be placed side by side
with the ruins of which they are re-
constructions, so that we can see
precisely how the ruins form the basis
of the reconstruction.
1t must not be forgotten that Pom
peii was covered with a mass of
stones and cinders from twenty to
thirty feet deep, and that only a part
of the city has yet been dug out of its
grave of centuries.
There was forum in Pompeii, as
in all Roman towns, forming the civic
center of the city, adorned with colon
nades and temples, as may be seen
from the remains still standing. The
largest temple in Pompeii was that
dedicated to Jupiter, standing on the
northern side of the forum. Entering
through the gate of the market place
two small stairways led to long
podium, which served as the platform
from which the orators spoke to the
assembled multitude. Even Cicero
may have addressed the crowd upon
some question of public moment from
this spot.
Thence broad stairway leads UP
to the Temple of Jupiter, and it's
porch, with six Corinthian columns.

MOTH TRAPS OF LITTLE
VALUE FOR ORCHARDS.

Prof. j. M. Stedman, Entomologist,
Missouri: pronounce, as all other
competent entomologists do, that all
and any trap lanterns of whatever pat
tern using lights as the attractive
agent are humbugs when used IN
orchards and do more harm than good,
on account of the 1chneumon files
(stinging fly or wasp-like insect) they
catch. I had five trap lanterns Zone OF
them being Hazeltine's Moth Catcher)
in an orchard that was badly infested
with the codling moth, and kept them
going for 100 consecutive nights, be-
ginning when the trees bloomed. AS
a result Of all this caught only two
codling moths. Is it not little strange
that those that are not entomologists
catch these codling moths, while en-
tomologists all fail? The trouble lies
in the mistaken identity of the cod
ling moth, since there are a great
number of similar looking but harm
less moths that are caught by these
traps. These traps will not catch
except now and then one by mere ac-
cident-the following common injuri-
GUS insects, which the advocates of
the moth catchers claim are caught:
The codling moth, Colorado potato
beetle, plum curculio, gougers, fiat and
round headed apple tree borers, peach
tree borers, tomato worm moth,
squash bugs, canker worm moth, cab
bage butterfly, bud-worm moth, grape
vine moth, currant moth, slug moth,
strawberry root borer.

THE PROPER WAY TO
HEAD APPLE TREES.

We notice that in modern orchards
there is a great tendency to head the
apple trees low. This is certainly a
great advantage over the old way,
where the tree tops were put up as
high as possible, necessitatirg long
ladders in harvesting and making it
impossible to get at some of the fruit.
Such trees, where still existing, offer
obstacles to both the harvester and
the sprayer. In the latter operation
low-headed tree is more thoroughly
treated than a high-hea.ed tree can
be. The tops can be low and yet
enough room can be left under the low
er branches to do the ordinary work
that the trees require III the way OF
Cultivation. This mean should be
sought. We must do much Of our
work with horses and therefore the
lower branches should not be allowed
to lie upon the ground, as we have
seen them in some orchards.

Audible Railway SIGNALS.

The Northern of France Railway
makes use of a system of audible sig
nails to indicate when the distant sig
nal is at caution. Between the rails
is placed an insulated brass plank
about feet inches long. This is so
arranged that when the distant is at
caution wire brush fitted to the en-
CINE passes in contact with the plank
and operates whistle in the cab.
This requires the fitting of each dis
tant signal with the necessary batter
les and their up-keep, as well as the
engines themselves; but they do not
seem to find this very much, and are
quite satisfied with the system.

SOME GOOD POINTERS
FOR CHICKEN RAIsERs.

From Farmers Review: There are
many good breeds Of chicks, sew
eral not very good, and as many good
and as many poor handlers Of these
breeds. Why is 1t one person will
succeed with the chicken work while
another equally as we'll situated and
started will fail? The reason why
some succeed where others fail would
better be reasons why, for there are
many. Lack of business methods is
one main reason. All know, or should
know, what is meant by business
methods If you are in doubt, look up
the methods of some who have been
successful; visit some of your neigh
bors who are successful; then remem-
Der and profit by the points you learn;
II you can discover no points would
advise you to go out of the poultry
business instanter.

the time will themselves be on the
expectation Of profit from their focks.
Great expectations" but unlikely to
be realized.
Changes, either in the feeds, the
housings or in the flocks themselves.
Now don't explode; variety of feeds
is necessary; sudden change in feed
is detrimental-the only sudden
change allowed is from nothing to
good feed, and this sudden change
should be gradual. The introduction
Of new blood is necessary once per
year, but one should not be intro

any and all times. The probabilities
are they will take so much time get

time for them to return any profit.
The greatest harm is in changing

when one has a fairly profitable breed
that he is acquainted with, then

New Chain Barette.

Still another Improvement has been
introduced into the little gold pin
which is intended to collect and hold
fast at the back of the head the soft,
short uneven strands of hair. A
barette is supposed to be more useful
made after the new pattern now being
introduced. The gold bar of the
barette is somewhat longer than last
years model. From the two ends
swing a loop of gold chain, very fine,
and it is supposed to support the I'M
even strands of hair and so keep
them in stricter confinement. AS a
matter of fact, the fine gold chain is
added as matter of ornament.

YARDING SPACE NEEDED
FOR PRODUCTIVE HENS.

From Farmers Review: When we
first began yarding fowls we found
that with a balanced ration of va
riety of foods they invariably pro-
duced more eggs than on unlimited
range. But we soon found that the eggs
were less fertile and our loss Of chicks
was greater. These yards were so small
that we had to supply part of the
green food We increased the size Of
our yards and provided plenty of
shade. This corrected the trouble with
fertility and loss of chicks. We be-
lieve the ideal way would be to have
two yards for one pen Of fowls and
change occasionally. Miller Bros.

POULTRY POINTS PICKED
UP BY EXPERIENCE.

No man that has not handled hun
dreds Of fowls should start in with
big poultry plant. 1t is better to be-
gin the poultry business as a side is
sue and gradually develop it. The
side issue will teach many lessons that
will be valuable when it becomes the
main issue. The cost of learning is
considerable even with small flock.
With large flock it frequently be-
comes SO great that the whole enter,
prise is abandoned.
The man that is about to build
large poultry establishment should
own his land. If not that, then he
should have long lease. To own is
better. The writer Knows of a wom-
an that built $500 worth Of poultry
houses on rented place. In a little
over year she concluded to move and
sold her buildings at sacrifice, the
same to be moved from the place. Had
she owned the place she might at least
have sold them with the place or
rented them if she rented the place.
AS it was she threw most Of her mon.
ey away. One advantage In poultry
culture is the constant improving Of
the land. The owner usually gets the
benefit of this-not the renter. By all
means build expensive houses only op
your own land.
Builders of poultry houses should
consult many plans before building.
BY this means the thoughts of many
persons will be brought into service.
If the house is built without such in
vestigation, the owner will be con-
stantly finding errors in the original
plan, but too late to correct them ex-
cept at great expense. At the present
time there are many sources from
which to obtain plans for such
house. The novice is likely to get
too much or too little glass. He will
put the windows in the wrong posi-
ton, perhaps in the roof, where they
will be covered in the winter by ice
and snow and will in the summer pour
hot stream of sunshine onto the
fowls shut up in the house. Many
things have to be learned by Others
that should save us from disastrous
experiences.
