hoops, but l never heard of one that
had the nerve to tackle mouse sim
gle handed before. The mouse got into
the sitting-room somehow and, appar-
emily confident that it would not be in
terfered with, as my wife was alone,
ran across the floor and disappeared
behind the window curtains.
'My wife does not deny that she
trembled, but she summoned all of her
uncommon resolution to her aid and
sat perfectly still while she thought of
the best means of meeting the emer-
gency.
"a hundred schemes for escape
flashed across her mind, to be in turn
rejected. A mad impulse to scream
and leap upon the table was heroically
resisted.
Suddenly her eyes fell upon a broom
which had been left standing in cor
ner and the instant her resolution
was formed.
with bated breath and wildly beat
ing heart she stealthily arose, keeping
one eye on the curtain. Then, swiftly
and silently. she crossed the floor and
seized the broom. The touch of it
seemed to give her courage and conf
dence almost instantly. ~
"She went quickly to the door and
closed it and with the act came an ac.
cess of calmness. Yes, she was per-
fectly cool and collected. With the
broom poised she advanced to the win
dow curtain and aimed vicious swipe
at the place where the mouse was con-
cealed. Then she sprang quickly
back.
"She was hardly more than in time,
for the mouse ran out and then, seeing
the determined figure opposite him,
ran back and began to climb the
window curtain.
again my wife advanced and
aimed another deadly blow, but her
aim was poor and the mouse gained
the window sill in safety and tried to
get through the glass.
"Once more the broom was raised.
This time there should be no miscal.
culation. My wife was calm-per-
fectly calm, as 1 said before. She
measured the distance carefully
with her eye and then, true to it's
mark, the broom whistled through
the air and crashed through the IS
pane OF French plate, incidentally
taking the mouse and a rather nice
little Venetion epergne with it.

ROYAL CHURCH WORKER.
Queen Christina of Sweden Lnbors
Zealously for spirituaI Well
fare of Her People.

1t isn't often that you find queen
going in seriously for religious work,
but that is what the queen of Norway
and Sweden does. OF course, her court
and family duties do not leave the
elderly royal lady much time for out
side employments, but all that she has
she devotes to looking after the spir-
itual welfare of her two peoples.
All sects are on the same footing
In the estimation of this highly-placed
"church worker" so long as they ac-
complish good She herself is a mem
Der of the Swedish Evangelical party,
and when she was in England in 1900
the religious work done by the low
church greatly attracted her. She at
tended social meetings of those who
devoted themselves to bettering the
condition of the poor, and got many
pointers" for her future work at
home. She is the stanchest friend
that the Salvation Army has in her
realm, and the great influence which
the followers of Gen. Booth have
gained in Sweden is due more than
little to the encouragement they
have received from the queen.
Queen Sophie, however, is not the
only member of the Swedish royal
family with spiritual tendencies. Her
eldest son, the crown prince, is too
busy learning statecraft to give much
time to spreading Christianity, but
her second son, Prince Oscar, and his
wife (who are known as the Count
and Countess Won Wisberg) are their
mothers devoted lieutenants in all
her religious enterprises.
The count and countess are, of
course, the handsome young couple
whose picturesque love affair made
such time in Sweden several years
ago, and in dealing with which King
Oscar ii. behaved so good-naturedly.
The countess was then Miss Ebba
Munck, lady-in-waiting to Queen So
phie, and it was to be expected that
the king would do all in his power

A MODEL STORAGE PIT.
During Winter and from Grow
ing During Summer.

One of the most serious problems
for vegetable growers is to secure
a storage place which will keep vege-
tables from freezing during winter
and also prevent them from shrink
ing and growing during summer.
Numerous plans have been used,
some of them with most satisfactory
results. In the northwest, Mr.. S. j.
Fairfield, of Minnesota, describes his
method in recent issue of the Min
nesota institute bulletin. Quoting
his own language, he says: II want
firm, hard seed potatoes from which
no sprouts have ever grown. To Sc
cure these, the potatoes should be
put in cave prepared especially for
this purpose and so arranged as to
control the temperature in winter
and summer, keeping it as near to
the freezing point as possible. Put
the potatoes right in on the earth
and keep them dark. In this way

THE CARE OF CARPETS.
Some Housewives Destroy Their
Floor Coverings by Being En-
tirely Too Economical.

To keep good carpet do not hide
it under cheap drugget, as many n
prudent but short-sighted housewife
does. This only makes a good carpet
the lining for poor one. Through the
loose fibers of the drugget dust filters
and little bits of dirt, which wear away
the fabric underneath.
1t is always best to have the carpet
laid by men from the store, as they
know how to avoid straining the fiber.
Let them also clean the carpets, as the
amateur usually does more harm than
good as a cleaner. The carpet should
be brushed away from the nap. Nap
dragged daily the wrong way weakens
and pulls away.
To clean a carpet it should be done
over yard by yard with n clothes brush,
sweeping with the nap. This will give
YOU a chance to see all the stains.
The right method to treat good
carpet is to lay it carefully on n soft
bedding of thick layers of newspapers
or of brown paper. The printing ink
on newspapers is disliked by the moth
which will avoid such things as place
unsuitable for the laying of it's eggs.
Thus thick folds of newspapers not
only give thick underfooting for the
floor, but relieve the housewife of one
source of worry-moths in her best
carpet. The papers should be renewed
each time the carpet is taken up. -BoE

the young man should give up his
succession to the throne. This Prince
Oscar was glad to do. He took the
title of Count Won Wisberg, married

as one of the most attractive young
women of the Swedish court, the
present countess was great reli-
gious worker, and it is her example
which has led her husband to give so
much attention TO this rather novel
form of royal amusement.
1t is not so very strange that King
Oscar should have acted as he did in
regard to his sons marriage, for he
is regarded as perhaps the most un-
ceremonious as we'll as one of the
most talented of European monarchs.

TROUBLE BEGINS.

Trouble begins with the first back.
ache. Backache comes in many
forms. Sudden twinges of pain, sharp
stitches, slow exhaustive aches.
Most. backache pains are kidney
pains.
The Kidneys fail to perform the
duties nature intends them to do
and the warning of trouble comes
through the back.
Neglect the kidney warning, grave
complications will surely follow.
Urinary disorders - Diabetes
Bright's Disease-are the downward
steps of neglected kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure every kid
ney and bladder sickness and the
cure lasts. Read this proof of it:
Mrs. Adam Guntle, residing at 701
South Plum St., Charlottesville, Ind,
says: 81 made a public statement in
1897 saying that Doan's Kidney Pills
had cured member of our family
after he had suffered for years with
n weak back and kidney troubles.
He took three boxes of this remedy
and was completely cured. Now
three years have elapsed since 1
made this statement and 1 am only
too pleased to reendorse it. I have
also used Doan's Kidney Pills myself,
obtaining the best results. / have

they have kept all right for me.
Make your cave of any size, shape or
kind, if it is nothing more than a
pit in the ground. Cover with poles,
a few corn stalks, little straw and
six to eight inches of earth.
"a ventilator four feet long and
TIKI inches outside measure should
be extended through the roof near
the center, projecting is inches be-
low the roof. 1t is made of four-inch
board and is eight inches wide by
four feet long, in the form of a
loose box without ends. A square
plunger should be made, of inch
board, the same length as the ven-
tilator, using four-inch boards six
inches wide by four feet long. Nail
a board that just fits over the bot
tom of the plunger and adjust over
the top, so that when the plunger
is placed in the ventilator the board
on top will prevent its slipping into
the cave. The plunger should be
filled with sawdust and wrapped with
piece of old quilt or padding, so
that when it is in the ventilator, the
hole will be completely stopped and
consequently frost proof. Put
screw hook into the bottom of the
plunger and on it hang a reliable
thermometer, so that you can go to
the top of the cave, draw out the
plunger and see what the tempera-
ture is down below without having
to open it. The outline of my cave
is shown in the accompanying illus.
tration.
''In order to keep the temperature
uniform, throw snow all around tho
cave as soon as the soil is frozen
hard, and cover it with straw or old
hay. The snow will keep the cave
warm in winter and cool late
spring. If nights are very cold, keep
careful track of the temperature, and
If it gets below "a degrees pull out
the plunger and hang a lantern on
the lower end, and the cave will
warm up in little while. If cell
lar is used for storing potatoes or
vegetables, large lamp will warm
it up during extremely cold periods.
"When spring comes l use ice to
keep the temperature of the cave
as low as possible. A galvanized box
two feet square and IS inches deep,
with a drain off into the ground,
will answer as the ice box. 1t moth
ing better is at hand, use a washtub
and throw blanket over the ice.
I have kept seed potatoes in this
way until June and they were as
hard as when dug in the fall. Such
seed will sprout more slowly and
come up later than soft potatoes.
but will be more vigorous and as a
rule will outyield the other kind"
This plan has worked very well and
can be recommended. OF course, as
! Mr.. Fairchild intimates. every vege-
table grower must work out the de-
tails of the plan himself The sug-
gestions are excellent. 1t is easily
possible to construct cave of this
kind very cheaply and to keep fruits
and vegetables very late in the sea-
son. If it is necessary to dig poto-
toes, for example, early before cool
weather comes, the use of ice in this
way will keep them until wanted.-
