Never plant large block Of any va
riety of fruit trees. Mix the varieties.
Don't be afraid to fertilize the or.

Intelligent fruit growing is going to
be profitable.
The fruit of pineapples does not COM
mence to form much before the month
of February in Florida, and it takes
several months for it to mature.
Bleeding of the grapevine when
pruned in spring can be stopped by
passing a redhot iron slowly across the
cut surface. but it Is much better to
prune early.

If you wish to polish the nails, pol
Usher may be bought, or piece of
chamois skin will answer the purpose.
There is powder which helps the pol
ishing, but only little should be used,
putting a little cold cream or vaseline
on the nail first and not rubbing hard
enough to heat the nail. After this the
hands should be washed to remove all
the powder.
If the hands are stained, tomato or
lemon juice will usually remove it.
When pairing fruit, if strips of cotton
are wrapped about the forefnger and
thumb they will prevent staining and
cutting also. Children should be taught
while young to keep their hands tidy.
The habit of caring for the hands and
of brushing the teeth cannot be formed
too young, for the effect will add much
to the personal appearance of both
child and adult.

CHANGING FEED OF COWS.
New Articles of Diet Should BE Fed
Sparingly at First.

New Articles of Diet Should BE FED
sparingly at First.
When beginning with any feed that
is new to stock, begin with very
small quantity, says Michigan dairy
man in Farm and Home. If pumpkins
or turnips, cut fine and sprinkle lit
tie middlings over them before you
offer them or very little salt. Get
them and keep them sharp and eager
for their food; then they will be hearty
and healthy and in condition to re-
pay well for time, trouble and feed.
Good care and proper treatment will
make cattle glad to see you at any
time whether hungry or not. I some
times hear men say: my cows are
dainty; can get them to eat but very
little of the best of hay, or perhaps
they will eat but very little Of their
grain feed, muss it over little and
then will not look at it again." / al
ways say surely there has been mis-
management, for verify believe that
COWS, calves or horses can be taught
to eat almost everything that Is good
for them and as much as Is good for
them, even out of swill bucket. AS
important as a good supply of good,
wholesome feed is it is equally as i'm
portant to have good care and judicious
management.

how she came to write under that
name. She tells what glorious times
she had as a little girl playing in the
forest, when she would tie her little
hood over her dark brown hair and
with her two big st. Bernard dogs by
her side would race through the for
est, avoiding all beaten paths, and
listen to its voices. THE forest sang
songs to me-" she continues, (which
| wrote down afterward at home, but
which l never showed to anyone. 1t
was our secret-the woods and
mine" When she married she had
already written a large volume of
poems and had tried her hand at the
drama and at prose fiction, having
written her first story at the age of
IL and her first play at IA. But
knew quite well that it was all very
poor stuff" she says. Not till Twas
five-and-thirty did | let anything be
printed, and that was only because so
many people took the pains to copy
verses from my scrap book that
wanted to spare them the trouble and
simplify matters"
She cast about for a name under
which to hide her identity, and de-
cided upon that of Waldgesang, or
Woodsong, which in Latin is Carmen
Sylvae. AS the last word did not look
quite like a real name she took the
liberty of dropping the final letter
and made it Carmen Sylvia. Under
this name she long hid her royal per-
sonality. IF to-day l come forth
from that shelter that was like the
broad leaves of the silver linden
spread over me, it is because so many
friends, and especially dear children,
have asked it of me, and because
have now white hair and would so
gladly be a grandmother if only God
had granted me that blessing"

CARMEN SYLVA'S TALES.
ga Real Quecn's Fairy Tales Is the
Latest Book from the Pen of
R0uD,ania's Queen.

Elizabeth, queen of Roumania,
whose pen name of Carmen Sylvia is
known all over the world, has writ
ten a new volume of fairy tales. The
book is issued in half a dozen differ
ent countries. The American transla-
tion by Miss Edith Hopkirk is charm
ing in its simplicity and grace. George
Z. Il. Davis has written an enthusias-
tic introduction, in which he tells the
chief points in Carmen Sylva's life.
She is a charming hostess and a brill
liant conversationalist, being able to
entertain her guests with equal grace
in half a dozen different languages.
The queens literary work includes
novels, poems, dramas, proverbs, a
philosophical treatise, and an opera
libretto, but she finds her greatest de-
light in writing fairy tales. The
worldwide popularity of these tales
is easily understood after reading her
last volume. The stories are about
children and for children, and their
ideas and imagery as well as their
language are just of the right kind
to hold child spellbound. The
fairies are of the good. and noble va
riety, and their rewards are bestowed
upon the little boys and girls who do
the most unselfish acts. The tales
breathe an elevat ting influence, yet
their morals are not of the duh or
obvious kind. The moral is part of
the warp and woof of the story.
The, supernatural is a subsidiary
element in Carmen Sylva's fairy tales.
1t is used chiefly to give scope to her
own tastes and longings, as when she
creates a fairy that changes base
metal into gold to aid in a deed of
kindness, or when she causes a fairy
to help a musician in writing a mas
terpiece. Her love of the woods, of
birds and flowers, of music and chill
dren and of gentleness and unselfish-
ness is embodied III these tales with
real literary art.
In the concluding chapter Carmen
Sylvia explains to her child readers

story of nm Adventure of Artemus
Ward with "Mrs. Null
IiSanL"
oIlsly.

An old friend of Artemus Ward
tells this anecdote in the Century:
Down on Canal street one day he
encountered ''Mrs. Mulligan" over
her washtub, with her dress pinned
up about her waist, barefooted and
rubbing away upon her washboard,
some dirty children playing about,
He accosted her with a Good morn
ing" and inquired if she would like
to do his washing, and what was her
price.
She Strengthened up, put her fists
upon her hips and with a withering
stare said I'm not one of those
that does washing out of my own
family. You're a fine gossoon. |
don't even know you by eyesight"
Turning to the two boys, she said:
Here, Joseph Ander, take Thomas
Ander by the hand and lade him off
til skule."
Said Joseph Ander: 1--WE not had
me breallfast.'
Yes, and ye have. Ye had the blue
ducks eggs and pancakes sopped in
gravy. Now be off wild yees."
And Artemus said he thought it was
time for him to go, lest she might
take a fancy to wash his shirt with
out his taking it off.
The menu pleased him so much that
he repeated it again and again, laugh
ing heartily at each repetition: "The
blue ducks eggs and pancakes sopped
in gravy"

designs of all just now. The smallest
of the trio is called the WaverIy cut
ting, and while the least expensive
its cutting is in inverse proportion
to its cost. The three shapes are
each entirely different, yet all desir-
able and in mode. The one cone or
lily-shaped cut-glass flower vase has
become so familiar and so much used
that one gives a warm welcome to
anything different, especially when it
is as attractive as is the new vase
pictured in the lower left-hand cor
ner of this group. This is an exceed
ingly pretty pattern, and in shape,
cutting and brilliancy is entirely un-
eXceptionable. With the colonial fac
so prominent the cut glass candle
stick next the empress pattern will
find favor in many places in the
home, but particularly on milady's
dressing table. When topped by a
dainty white tlower-shaped shade its
effect is charming. Goblets are being
more and more used for formal af-
fairs, and many predict their return
to vogue for everyday use. The COB
let of Corinthian design of our sketch
shows a cutting that is snowy and
brilliant yet not costly in the eX-
treme either.-Chicago Daily News.

a HOUSEHOLD HEROINE.

The woman behind the preserving pot
Is certainly deserving of fame;
She's not like the man behind the gun,
But she's getting there just the same.
The hero Is trying to MAIN or kill,
And great Is his showing of nerve;
But praise also goes to the woman who
is using her skill to preserve.
No time she is wasting in drill or march
Which fit the brave soldier for strife;
She gathers round her what she'll attack.
And then gets to work with her knife.
She pares and she cores and she cuts with
care
Till fingers and muscles are sore;
Then hither and thither in other tasks
She's hurrylng over the floor.
She galIantly stands at the firing line,
Unmindful of heat and toll;
All flushed is her face and her eyes are
strained
BY watching the things that there boil.
She spices and sweetens and stirs and
skins,
Till weary in arms, back and feet;
But bravely she stands till her work is
done,
With never a thought of retreat.
She carefully gathers the stores of sweets
That she has so patiently made.
And soon the good things for the winter
feasts
In jars, cans and crooks are arrayed.
She thinks not of plaudits for triumph won
Yet, while she no laurels will claim,
The woman behind the preserving pot
Is certainly worthy of fame.

CHAPTER VII.

"BACK TO THE EARTH AGAIN"
If the immortal soul of man be a
conscious entity, as some assert,
of the realities when the wheels of
the mental recording machinery
stop, and some buffet or bruise OF
the body corporeal tears leaf out of
the book of time? For a certain
curious Onlooker, whose queryings
sent him to plunge unwillingly into
the icy waters of the Torolitan Aver
nus, times clock stopped with a
glimpse of the dam, an outlined fig
ure of a woman, and mighty din
ming of the flood in his ears. When
it began to tick again, it was night,
and the point of view was the pill
low of bed in a strange room. 4
flamp was burning on a small table
at the beds head, and the room ap-
peared as half-story chamber in a
substantial log house, with the
rough rafters pitching low over the
bed.
A murmur of voices came from be-
low, and an intermittent clatter of
knives and forks on ironstone china.
Presently n chair complained in the
room beneath, and slow step
mounted the stair. / closed my eyes
wcarily to open them when the
leisurely steps reached the bedside.
The man who stood over me was
tall, lean, leathern-skinned; and with
no more beard than an Indian. If
he had not worn his hat at the sup
portable below, he had put it on to
come upstairs. lie was in his shirt
sleeves, and his manner was of those
to whom coats are unmeaning luXu-
ries.
MANDY, she thort she hearn ye
stirrin,'" he said, and his speech as
socated itself with my recollection
of the leisurely step on the stair.
