A Little, Short Story
But a Very Large Sequel

A BOUT four weeks ago New York shirt
man came to town and he showed US some
OF the biggest drives in Shirts have ever seen.
So we told him that he could have, his house
make us just seventeen and half dozen-you
know they usually order hundred GD dozen, but
we didn't-and we told him they had 10 be here
in time for the Fourth. We thought they would
be just fine Fourth of July Shirts. Well, they
came last Saturday and we have opened them up
and actually they look better to than they did
in the sample The patterns and colors are new
very pretty and they have that clean, cool look.
They will be displayed in our window and will
be on sale Wednesday morning. AS you see
them through the window, even when you
examine them closely, they look like dollar shirts;
they are not, though, but are marvellous values
for so cents. We don't think they will stay with
US very long And thus the story ends.

Mystery of the "Dowser."

In an interesting letter published in
last weeks Speaker, Lord tarrar calls
attention to the mystery in which the
time-honored calling CT the "dowser"
is still enveloped. The "dowser" is,
of course, a person endowed with the
rare sense of being able to detect the
presence and locality of underground
streams of water. and the illustra-
tons supplied ny Lord Farrer of the
practical value Of this accomplish
ment fully corroborate the mass OF
testimony that has been collected from
time to time.
The inference to be drawn from
Lord Farrer's observations is that the
hazel twig usually employed as an in
dex is by no means necessary part
of the dowser's equipment, and that
the sense which warns him CT the
presence of water is most probably
equivalent to the instinct that guides
the birds and animals of the desert to
their drinking places.
AS a matter of fact, the hazel tw1s
has been tested as often as planchette,
and will dip" in the hands of the
merest novice if persevered with for
time. The results, too, are usually
an misleading as those obtained by the
nsn of the heart-shaped board. But
ths instinct of the born "dowser"
would appear to be a most valuable
oEe, and capable of further develop
ment if properly understood and d.
rected-Black and White.

Self-Made Copper King of Japan.

We regret to announce the death of
Mr.. Furukawa Ichibel. owner of the
Ashiwo copper mines. He was a self
made man. having originally been
hawker of beancurd cakes in Kyoto.
Fortune took him by the hand when
at % he entered the service OF the
Koaoike house in Kyoto, whereafter
he was adopted into the family of Fur
ukawa Tarozayemcn and initiated in
to the mysteries of the foreign silk
trade under the auspices of the Ono
gumi
1t appears that from the year 1874,
after the bankruptcy of the Ono firm,
he conceived the idea that Japan's
future lay in the development of
mines, and following that inspiration,
he devoted himself to getting posses
sion, wholly or in part, of various min
ing properties, first that of Kusakura
"copper" and then those of Ashiwo,
Imai and Sui. No difficulties seem to
have daunted him. and at the time of
his death he had proprietary inter-
est in 50 mines, measuring twenty-five
millions of tsubo, employing 10000
men; having machinery Of 1000 horse
power, and producing 20 kwamme of
gold, 5000 kwan of silver. 16 million
pounds of copper, and 100000 tons of
coal. These figures represent 20 per-
cent of the whole production of silver
in Japan and 40 percent of that of
copper. Mr.. Furukawa was 70 years
of age at the time of his death. and
his malady was cancer of the stomach.

The Manure Spreader,

pleased with it. | think it the greatest
labor saving machine l have on my
farm. spread all my manure with it.
For hoed crops | use twenty-six loads
per acre and have as good results as
when used 80 or 35 loads the old way.
l lay that to spreading it so evenly
over the land. When we come to har-
rowing, can work 1t into the ground SO
nicely.
When get to the field it takes from
three to four minutes to unload, while
by hand 1t would take 80 minutes, and
the spreader does it much nicer. Some
say it draws SO hard they cannot use
1t. | have no trouble about it and use
it on all my land. For grass | use ten
to Is loads per acre. 1t is the incest

Contrary to all rules concerning a WIS.,
It to the doctor. the pain became more
intense instead of stopping or even
getting better.

disturbed the patient for whom the
doctor was prescribing in an adjoining

pour my woes into his sympathetic

a little worse than it already was. Is

I'll get to you after while; you have
little cold, and for heavens sake
stop your moaning, brace up and be

After that blow | remained quiet

Care of Chiidren's Hair.

Mothers should teach their children
to care for their hair as early as pos
sible. If the little girl is coaxed into
the habit of giving her locks hundred
strokes with stiff brush every morn
ing and evening and braiding them
loosely for bed the foundation for a
future beautiful head of hair will be
laid. Counting the strokes will tighten
the task for her and she will soon be-
come accustomed to it and make 1t
part of her daily toilet. Too many
children are allowed to go to bed
with their hair in tousled condition,
only to have it jerked and tangled
hastily when school time comes around.
Such a practice is disastrous to the
nerves of a sensitive child and ruinous
to the hair. Teach the little daughter
to take care of her hair, and at the
right time, and also to keep her
brushes and comb in the proper state
of cleanliness. These articles should
be as strictly personal property as the
tooth brush. Never allow one child
to use the others hair brush. Dis
eases of the scalp are most contagious,
and the brush is the surest germ agent

portation, has tended to scatter them
out again. Trolley lines running out
into the country are doing a great deal
TO render it possible to live in the coun-
try. and yet not lose the advantages
of the town. The telephone is not TO
be minimized as an instrument with
tendency in the same direction. Rural
free delivery is playing its part along
the same lines. But no one thing can
do as much TO Offset the tendency to-
ward an unhealthy trend from the
country into the city as the making and
keeping of good roads.
They are needed for the sake of their
effects upon the industrial conditions
of the country districts. and / am
almost tempted to say that they are
needed even more for their effect
upon the social conditions Of the cOun
try. If winter means to the average
farmer the existence of a long line of
liquid morasses, through which he has
to move his goods If bent on business,
to wade and swim If bent on pleas
ure: if winter means that, If an Ordi-
nary rain comes, the farmers girl or
boy cannot use his or her bicycle, If a
little heavy water means a stoppage OF
all communication why you have got
to expect that there will be great
many young people of both sexes who
won't find farm life attractive
1t is for this reason, among many
others, that / feel the work you are
doing Is so pre-eminently one for the
interest of the nation as a whole.
congratulate you upon the fact that
you are doing it. In our American life
it would be hard to Overestimate the
amount Of good that has been accom-
piished by associations of individuals
who have gathered together to work
for common object which was to be
of benefit to the community as whole.
And among all the excellent objects
for which men and women combine
to work to-day, there are few indeed
who have better right TO command
the energies of those engaged in the
movement, and the hearty sympathy
and support of those outside, than this
movement in which you are engaged.

important Disease of currant.

Anthracnose of currants is fungous
disease which attacks chiefly the
leaves, causing them to fall premature
ly. Multitudes of brown spots of pin
head size make their appearance on
the leaves which soon after turn vel
low and fall. Anthracnose is not often
destructive, but in 1901 it caused great
damage in the Hudson River Valley.
The disease appeared early in June
and by the time the fruit was ripe
many plantations were almost entirely
bare OF foliage. AS a consequence, the
berries shriveled and some of the new
wood was not properly matured. From
this cause some of the new shoots died
and 1t is probable that a part of the
unusually large amount of dead wood
In curTant plantations the past spring
resulted from the severe attack of an
thracnose last season. The greater
part, however, was due to cane blight.
Should it become necessary to fight
grain of the wheat and no more. Care
anthracnose it could doubtless be con-
trolled by spraying with bordeaux
mixture, commencing before the leaves
appear and repeating the treatment at
intervals of ten to fourteen days until
the fruit is two-thirds grown. Thor
ough spraying will also have ten
dency to check the ravages of cane
blight and by the addition Of paris
green to the mixture, currant worms
may be readily controlled without ex-
ira labor.-Professor F. C. Stewart, OF
the New York Experiment Station.

Cows on Pasture.

It may surprise the inexperienced
that although the cows can be put on
pasture after grass appears, the supply
of milk is then usually reduced. This
is frequently the case when any kind
of change in the food is made, but
more especially very early in the
spring, as the grass is then more large
ly composed of water than at any 9TH
er season of the year, and consequent
ly is also more laxative than when it
approaches maturity. To offset these
conditions give the cows a full supply
of ground grain mixed with cut hay at
night, and do not keep them on the
pasture but short while each day at
the beginning. Always give full
meal of grain and hay at night, and al
SO an allowance of grain in the morn
Ing, bran, middlings, ground oats and
Cornmeal being an excellent mixture.

You hope to credit ii to his account,
but the next time he meets you he re-
minds you of the loan and asks for
the return of the fifty cents. You give
it to him with a queer feeling in your
heart, yet have not the courage to men
ton the $50 or $50 he owes you. There
are thousands of Coppazincs thus beat

WORDS OF WISDOM.

All men are fools, but only the wise
stop being so.
Truth is with ourselves; 1t takes no
rise from outward things, whate'er you
may believe.
The mother who sees all the virtues
in hel own child is blind to those in
other children.
1t Is by presence of mind in untried
emergencies that the native metal of
man is tested.
The thoughts will turn to the future
when one comes to reckon the rapidity
OF Times fight.
There is any quantity of gold in the
land, but we enjoy it most when the
other fellow digs for it,
Few men are wise enough to prefer
the blame that is useful for them to
the praise that betrays them.
The pleasures of dissipation are like
gaudy coIors-they attract for mo-
ment, but afterwards they Cypress the
senses.
Be not disturbed about the future,
for If ever you come to it you will have
the same reason for your guide which
preserves you at present.
Patience and strength are what We
need; an earnest use of what we have
now; and all the time an earnest dis
content until We come TO what we
ought to be.
Were we TO believe nothing but what
we could perfectly comprehend, not
only our stock of knowledge in all tho
branches of learning would be shrunk
TO nothing, but even the affairs Of
common life could not be carried on.

Temperature Of Soils.

Everybody has observed that on
.anmer evening when the air comes
in contact with the rapidly cooling
grass and leaves of growing vegeta-
ton, It begins to deposit moisture on
them, and this increases as the night
advances And vegetation cools down
still more, until by morning a large
amount of water has been precipitated.
By this we learn that the air at a GER
tain temperature is able to hold a Civ
en- amount of water, but if the temper
allure be reduced it will hold less, and
the surplus wates will be precipitated.
If the air that enters a drain tile, and
is distributed through the porous earth
along its coure, is reduced to a lower
temperature, by contact with soil
cooler than the air, it will deposit
moisture in the soil A tile laid three
or four feet deep will keep the ground
moist in its vicinity as long as the
air contains moisture enough to make
a dew point at reasonable tempera-
ture. but shallow drain gives COM
paratvely few favorable results in
drought.

Ensilaqe.

Enslage should not cost the farmer
over dollar per ton, and SO pounds a
day is large ration for cow. This is
40 rations per ton, at two and a half
cents per ration, and hence will pro-
vide for one cow forty days. There is
no food that can be produced at a low
er cost. The ensilage is not of itself a
complete food, as the best results are
derived when grain and hay are also
allowed, but it cheapens the cost Of
the whole and provides succulent food

from grass to the regulation dry ra-
ton of that season,
