A HANDSOME NEW RESIDENCE
French Style Employed in Erec-
ton OF Mr.. COnnally's Home.

The handsome new residence of
Col. r. III. Csnally, No. 800 Brown
street, is rapidly nearing completion
and the contractor hopes to have it
ready for occupancy by April Is. A
reporter for the Light this morn
ing visited this elegant home and
was courteously shown through by
the contractor, Mr.. ID. d. Pittman.
From the observations we were able
to make of the home in its unfin-
ished state it will be athing of beauty
when completed. 1t is two stories
high and is built after the French
style of architecture, the porches
being finished in Colonial style.
The body of the house is painted in
dark green color with white trim
mings, the combination of these
eolors producing very pretty ef-
feet. The front door is a very pref
ty design, the panels being com
posed of handsome bevel-plated
metal. The newell at the base of the
stairway in the hall is surmounted
by very beautiful bronze statue.
There are six fire places in the
house and the hall down stairs is
ornamented by an elegant mantel Of
antique oak. Good taste was exer-
eised in selecting paper for the
various rooms with the result that
the colors have been so combined
as to produce d very pleasing ef-
feet. Walter Stewart has charge of
the plumbing and the bath house is

ed over the outlook. No damage OF
any consequence has been reported.

A few weeks later DIR. Cutter was

anxiously awaiting Miss Atwood. AS
he heard soft footsteps approaching
and raised his eyes in eager expecta-
ton, there in the open doorway stood
Helen Atwood in all the beauty OF her

of welcome upon her lovely face as she
advanced to meet her old friend. And
there in the deepening shadows OF an
early twilight the old, old story was
once more gone over. Helen, DARING

Poultry Pointers.

Never feed the poultry near the
dwelling or throw out scraps of any
kind to attract them near the house.
One Of the secrets of success with
poultry is not to keep any Improbable
birds; sell them as soon as possible.
AS long as a really good hen is not
too old to lay eggs, she is not too old
to keep.
Forty hens can no more eat from one
plant than forty people. Broadcast the
grain and provide long troughs for
feeding soft food.
Buckwheat straw is very good for
scratching material.
The roosts should be low, especially
for the heavy breeds.
Keep the lice off your fowls and they
will keep healthy.
Feed plenty of meat scraps if you
want to get lots Of eggs.
Keep plenty Of fresh water where
your fowls can get it.
A pale yolk is not an indication Of
poor qaulity in an egg.
Beware of drafts at night and you
will prevent much sickness.
If you can secure milk to mix with
you mash it will be profitable.

The Czarina,s Choice.

The Russian Empress seems to be
something of an athlete. On one oc-
casion, while paying visit to an art
studio, the public congregated outside
IN large numbers in the hope of see
ing her as she came out. But their
curiosity was never satisfied, for the
Czarina asked one of the attendants If
there was an exit at the back of the
house. To this he replied in the affirm
alive, but added that the way was
stopped by a board. THAT does not
matter" answered her majesty; ''it
you get me a ladder l will soon climb
over the plank" The ladder having
been placed in position, the Empress
of Russia climbed it, jumped over the
plank, and thus succeeded in avoiding
the unwelcome attentions of the over
enthusiastic populace.

Suggestion for Apple Growers,

Any apple grower within reasonable
distance Of a large city will find it
profitable to sort his fruit carefully and
make up small packages of the finest
1t makes little difference in what form
the package is, although it should, so
far as possible, conform to the shapes
familiar in the city where the fruit is
to be sold. Small baskets holding a
half peek of fine fruit will bring the
grower much more money than half
again the quantity carelessly selected
and packed in an ordinary basket. The
second grade of fruit, or rather the
best grade after the finest specimens
are taken out may be put up in larger
packages for market. By the use of
the selected fruit and the small pack
age the high-class trade is reached and
the grower puts into his pocket the
profit that usually gets into the pocket
of the middleman.

1t is now generally understood that
the great need in the ration Of COWS is
protein and because it is expensive
when one has to buy grain containing
it, the cows do not have the grains to
make the balanced ration.
OF late years experimenters have
urged farmers to grow the crops that
would give the balanced ration and
have shown that it may be obtained
by the growing of what are known as
forage crops so that one becomes
practically Independent of cotton seed
meal and other concentrated feed. Cow
pea hay and silage will take the place
of bran largely, in the ration, but far
better combination to grow is alfalfa,
although with silage, COW peas and
corn meal one may meet the need for
protein until the time when alfalfa is
fit to cut.
The soy bean should also have a
place on every farm where it can be
grown to advantage. 1t is of the same
nature as the cow pea but on some
farms gives better results hence should
have a space in that experiment plot
referred to some weeks since. This
question of growing the feed that may
be given to the stock to the best adj
vantage is one that should have the
attention of every farmer and dairy
man.

in Germany stutter AS in nearly all
cases the difficulty in speaking arises
from peculiar nervous condition and
is not due to any physical malforma-
ton, the specialists are confident of
being able to cure nearly all the cases
which they find.
The system of cure consists largely
in making the child speak slowly, in
teaching him how to properly use his
lips and tongue in forming words, and
in correcting his nervousness. That
stammering can be cured has been re-
allied since the time that Demosthenes
walked by the seashore declaiming
with pebble in his mouth. 1t is a
little singular that the Germans, who
have been supposed to be race rather
lacking in nervousness, should sudden
ly develop into nation of sufferers.
Perhaps the strenuous life into which
the Emperor has plunged the country
has been a little to much for it's ner-
vOus system.
