BANQUET.
Berlin Society Gives Unique Dinner
and Seeks to show Equine
Flesh Is Nourishing.

Six hundred people sat down at Ber-
lin the other night to the most remark.
able banquet that ever has been given
in Berlin. The dishes consisted en-
tirely of horse meat, and were served
in various forms. The Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to animals is
sued the invitations to dirner, which
was given for the purpose of demon
strating the nourisEing and palatable
qualities of horse meat, thereby caus.
ing increased consumption of the meat
and a ready market for old horses.
This would prevent owners from work
ing the poor animals TO death, as we'll
fed specimens would bring good prices.
The bill of fare consisted of horse
soup, picked horse tongue, filet OF
horse, and roast horse. All of tbs
dishes were nicely prepared and were
greatly relished. The presiding officer
of the society, Privy Councillor Won SEQ.

have been food for some of the richest
gossip of Paris. As a title Prince
Henry is attractive, but as a husband
he really doesn't qualify and it was
folly to suppose that a clear-eyed
American girl would overlook what
even a young Frenchwoman with the
European awe of his title and the
European belief in the marriage dc
could not accept. So Miss
Goelet repealed his advances and he
went back to Europe without his COW
eted bride.
Out of the long lists of triumphs
which have followed her all over the
world there have crept rumors of three
romances in the four short years of
her life in society. The hero of the
first was the young Viscount erich
ton, reported the handsomest man
in London. 1t was said tina.
Miss Goelet sent him to South
Africa with the promise that IL
he returned with the Victoria cross
she would marry him. Then, gossip
had it that Capt. Ames, the tallest
and one of the bravest officers in the
British army, whom Miss Goelet met
at a garden party, was in favor. The
last report was that young Craig
Wadsworth, attache at the American
legation in London a popular cotillon
leader and an ex-rough rider, was head
and shoulders before all others. These
three men are very much of n type,
and, if rumor is true, it is easy to see
what sort of man Miss Goelet likes.

THE INTELLIGENT R M
He Gets the Rest There Is Out of the
Farm He Puts His Own
Best Into 1t.

E. L. Vincent says In Farm and
there is in our farms. That is be-
cause we do not put the best there
is in US into them. There isn't much
use in expecting great things on the
farm unless we are willing to plan,
work and study how to get those
great things. How shall we go at
it to do that? In the first place, the
soil must be in a good state of fer
tility. This means hat we have
carefully saved up every particle of
barnyard we have, and have
seconded this effort by a judicious
use of commercial fertilizer. 1t
means, too, that we have not pre-
viously cropped the land to death.
Then we will pillow thoroughly. Not
one man out of ten in this country
knows how to pillow; or, if he does,
he has not the grit and the gump-
ton to do it. Once in awhile we
meet a farmer who insists that this
part of the farm work shall be done
thoroughly. He is on the way to
success. 1t was an old Scotchman
who said: 'Ye dinna ken how to
pillow in this coontry; We on'y
scratch the groom And that is
about what most of us farmers do
we scratch the ground. And again,
to get the best there is in our farms
we must use the harrow more faith
fully. The farmer has no better tool
than a good harrow. l say a good
harrow, because hosts of farmers
have not such a thing as a frst-class
harrow on the place. They are work
ing away with the same old "
shaped drag their fathers used, or
else have picked up at some sale IA
WORKOUT thing not worth bringing
home. No good work can be done
with such a tool. Harrows of an up
to-date pattern are reasonable in
price nowadays, and every farmer
ought to have one or more. Good,
clean seed is a requisite, too. No
use to sow seed that will not grow,
or that is full of weed seed. This
may mean the purchase of a fam
ming mill, to be used in recleaning
seed. We may better do this than
to seed our farms down with foul
weeds. But, finally, we will fail aft
er all if we do not keep the weeds
down in every crop that can be cul-
tivated. This means steady work
for a few weeks in the spring of the
year, until the potatoes have been
hilled up and the cor is too large to
admit of working a horse through
it. But the end tells the story.
Other things being equal. the man
who puts himself into his work as
1 have here described may rest as
sured of a good crop-the best the
soil will produce. And that ought
to make him happy"

ueuIth nefore wealth.

Nine out of ten ailments first show them
selves in constipation. Medical statistics
show that a greater number of people
suffer from constipation than from all other
about consumption, but, constipation kills
more people than consumption. Within
the last few years a medicine has been dis
covered of such merit in curing constipa-
ton and its consequences that now over
ten million boxes of CASCARETS are sold
every year, the greatest sale ever attained
by any one medicine in the world and this
is the strongest proof that it is the best
and will do all and more than claimed. If
you are a sufferer give CASCARETS a
trial, and right here we want to warn you
to get the genuine, because all great sue

his first grandson, the proposition be-
ing extended to his two daughters as
well as his sons. A daughter has since
been born to one of the senator's
daughters, but the winner of the grand
prize is the babe just born to the wife
of William A. Clark, Jr.
Great precautions had been made
for the reception of the prize winner.
There were nurses and doctors for the
mother, and nurses for the babe and
laces and fnery from New York and
Paris.
Mrs. Clark, who was formerly Miss
Duffield Foster, has two sisters who
have been married for several years,
but they are childless. Their interest
in the coming event was the greater
because of that fact.
SIT is the finest baby ever born"
said one of them to-day. But there
is nothing of the Foster about it. 1t

And then she went on to relate some
of the Clark characteristics in the in

MILLION-DOLLAR BABY
Its Advenf Caused Great Excitement
in the Clark Household in
butte, Montana.

Great was the stir created by his
advent into the world of William A.
Clark, third, in the circle that awaited
his coming on December l. The tele-
graph wires from Quite to New York,
San Francisco and Los Angeles and the
cable to Paris were kept busy convey
ing bulletins of the intense anxiety of
the friends and members of the family
of Senator Clark, of Butte, Mont.
When DIR. Donald Campbell an
nounced that all was well and that a
male heir had been born to the house
of Clark, the wires again sputtered
with EXPLANATIONS of joy and congrat-
ulation.
The senator's eldest son, Charles W.,
had disappointed him, as no children
have been porn to him.
The intense concern and interest of
the senator was shown when, a year
ago, he proposed to give $1,000, 900 to

wELL-BRED PLYMOUTH ROCKS.

The bright yellow legs and skin gives
them a very attractive appearance in
market.
The Plymouth Rock is good enough
for anybody and it has not been neces-
sary to bring out a lot of different
colored varieties. Yet in addition to
the original barred there is the pure
white and the buff. In dressing, these
two varieties do not show dark pin
feathers. The fancier who delights
to breed for farm and feather will find
ample opportunity with the barred
Plymouth Rock. The most prominent
breeders follow a system of double
mating-matching up one pen to pro-
duce cockerels and another for pull
lets. The demand is for a much light
er color in males than in females. The
standard weights are: Cocks, 9H
pounds; cockerel, s pounds; hen, 7k
pounds; pullet, 6h pounds. A typical
pair of show birds is here illustrated
from a picture taken for the Orange
Judd Farmer.

THE PLYMOUTH ROCKS.
FOL Early BroiIers, Roasting Fowls
or Capons They Are One of the
Very Best Breeds.

No breed is so popular or well
thought of by farmers as the Plym-
outh Rock and no breed is so often
met with on farms. 1t is an Amer
lean breed adapted to American needs
and good in any and every place. The
greatest consideration among farm
ers is that they are hardy. They need
no pampering and are able to shift
for themselves when necessary, yet
give big returns for good food and
care. The hens are good winter lay
ers of large brown eggs. They are
also good %sitters and mothers. For
early broilers, roasting fowls or ca
pons they are one of the best breeds.

Fooled.

A Fayette woman suspected that
her husband was in the habit of kiss
ing the hired girl, and resolved to de-
tect him in the act. One Saturday
night she saw him pass quietly into
the kitchen. The hired girl was out,
and the kitchen vas dark. The ieal-
our wife took a few matches in her
hand, and, hastily placing a shawl over
her head, as the hired girl often did,
entered the back door, and Immediate
lv she was seized ard kissed and en-
braced in an ardent manner. With
heart almost bursting the wife pre-
pared to administer a terrible rebuke
to the faithless spouse, and, tearing
herself away from his fond embrace,
she struck a match and stood face to
face with-the hired man.-Salisbury

set in it. The teeth project three
inches. A block of wood, B, is used
at each end of plank as shown in
cut and this may be taken out to
the depth of the teeth. The
rear of each plank also is shod with
iron strips two inches wide and one
eighth inch thick. This adds to the
life and efficiency Of the drag.

CRUDE WAYS OF ESQUIMAUx.
Do No< Believe in a Supreme Being
and Know Nothing of Morality
in Domestic Life.

Mr.. David 2. Hamburg, an arctic ex-
plorer. arrived in Montreal the other
day on his way to London Mr.. Han
bury. who is a fellow of the Royal Ge-
ographical society, is returning from
an overland trip of exploration
through uninhabited districts of the
arctic regions. Principally his trip
was for the purpose OF gathering in
formation for his book of travel. In
cidentally he searched for Information
which might lead to the whereabouts
of the lost Norwegian explorer, An
dree, who started in a balloon to lind
the pole. Mr.. Hamburg says he sought
for clews wherever he went, but dld
not obtain the slightest trace HIS
overland trip was made IN company
of Esquimaux guides, says the wash
ington Star.
Mr.. Hamburg has included the an
thropography and ethnography OF
the Esquimaux in his studies and he
has collected a great deal OF in
formation by his observation of their
circumstances and character, u ad-
mits that little is available to deter
mine their origin.
1.-THE point as to whether this peo-
pie is of Mongolian origin is n for
the anthropologists with more data
than / possess. They do not have even
ru~dimentary education, and conse-
uuently written records are out of the
question. AS to religion, the Esqui-
maux, though very superstitious, have
none. They do not believe in a Su-
preme Being" the explorer said.
''These people are obliging and will
do n moral thing for a white man.
They are very p%eaceably inclined, and
temper is almost unknown. AS to
their domestic life, you might say that
of morals they have none. Still, the
universal interchange of wives occa-
sions no broils, and bigamous wives in
the same family are like sisters. The
virtue of the Esquimaux consists in q
fondness for their children.
"The settlements continue year
after year at N location. About the
middle of October the snow huts are
built and the walls fall early in May.
The rest of the year the colony lives
in tents made of skins.
"The northern Esquimaux have abb
solutely none of the conveniences of
civilization. The weapons they use
in the hunt are of the crudest sort"
