Children In SomaIiland.

Children are regarded as chief as
set in the belongings of Somali ma
tive. A man may have as many as
four wives, and most of the patriarchs
boast of tremendous families. One old
chief of tribe near Berbera was the
head of family consisting of % sons,
30 daughters and 800 grandchildren. A
father sells his daughters for camels
and often builds up for himself for
tune in this way. The children are
named according to the circumstances
of their birth, as Wa Berri {born in
the morning) or Robleh (born in the
rain).

In an experiment made to determine
the absorbtive powers Of milk there
was inclosed in jars a portion Of milk,
and in different jars, but not in connec-
ton, different substances, giving off
favors. AT the end of eight hours a
portion of the milk was drawn from
near the bottom of each jar by means
OF pippette, so as not to disturb any
part of the milk. In every one-of fiji
teen trials-the milk had absorbed the
flavor to such an extent that it had
penetrated the very lowest stratum.

essential 20 the up-building of great

The Russian Amste RII a IN

st. Petersburg is one Of the few great
cities which have been made and not
born. During his residence in Holland
Peter the GreatTwas so impressed by
Amsterdam, perched upon the waters,
that he determined to abandon Moscow
and build new capital which should
have canals for streets. In his cam
paign against Sweden in 1902 he noted
an island situated in the midstream OF
the Neva. Here is my Russian Am
sterdamv' he exclaimed and immedi-
ately began the building Of city there.
The site was a marsh in summer and
a frozen morass in winter. Two mis-
cradle huts were the only buildings.
The erection of the citadel. great fort
in the shape of hexagon, with tow!
er 800 feet high, on the north bank of
the Neva, was his first care. The cot
tage in which Peter lived while laying
out the city still exists.

"Everybody ought % know" says
the Family Doctor" that the very
best thing that they can do is to eat
apples just before retiring for the night.
The apple is an excellent brain food,
because it has more phosphoric acid in
easily digested shape than any other
fruit. 1t excites the action of the liver,
promotes sound and healthful sleep,
thoroughly disinfects the mouth, and
prevents indigestion and throat dis
eases,u

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

The northern slope of a hillside is
the best location for an apple orchard.
The pear will come as near bearing
a crop of fruit every year as any other
kind of fruit.
If the currant worm makes its ap-
pearance, dust the foliage while the
dew is on with white hellebore.
In transplanting plants from pots in
vert the pot and rap the bottom of it
sharply, and the plant will como out.
An overloaded grapevine will not
mature its fruit. If it bears more
than it ought it will ripen its fruit
late. t.,.
Air slaked lime sprinkled on rose
bushes when the dew is on will de-
stroy insects without injuring the
bushas,
Ros- GIANTS should have plenty of
light az heat Nothing will blight
thels Dads se<a1er than shade and
moisture ~
Nearly all cultivated fruits are liable
to overbear. This is always injurious
and should be prevented. One Of the
best preventives is thinning.
One of the best places to use coal
ashes is around the base of the fruit
trees. Put mound of them around
each tree Borers will not be so apt to
trouble them.

If by any adverse turn of the
wheel of fortune J. Pierpont Morgan
AID Charles NJ. Schwab should lose
the millions which they have &C
cumulated during years of industrious
piracy, they ought not to experience
any difficulty in securing positions as
bunko steerers. OF course the rewards
would not be so great as they have
been accustomed to receiving from the
big confidence games they have so sue
cessfully worked under cover of the
cloak OF finance" but they could con-
sole themselves with the knowledge
th4t their occupation as employees of
Knights Of the green cloth would be
every whit as respectable as the species

YounE Ducks.

1t looks pitiful to see the mother hen
standing by clucking sorrowfully while
her brood Of ducks are feeding with
the crowd. She is powerless to sep
arate her own from the gang. Even
the little fellows only few days old
will leave their mother and try to fol-
low the older ones
Ducks Matched in the spring months
get along very well without a mother
or a brooder, but they must be kept
in n warm room for few days and
covered with flannel Tan old piece of
blanket at night. When a few days
old, unless the weather is very unfa-
vOrable. they may be removed to a
tight, dry, roOmy coop out of doors.
Cover the floor of their coop with dry
chaf, which must be renewed every
few days in rainy weather. They mes
tie down in the dry chaff at night or on
rainy days, comfortable and happy.
But if their bedding is allowed to be-
come damp and filthy even the hardy
ducks will fail to thrive.
Surrounding their coops they need
small Enclosure of poultry netting or
wide boards the first few weeks. AS
the ducks grow older the pen must be
enlarged. If possible give them a
roomy, grassy lot, fenced with poultry
netting. 1t checks their growth to
keep them in too small an Enclosure,
where there is little grass, and a stunt
ed duck never does any good 1t is
tn
they are likely to get lost during some
of their foraging expeditions.

Oftentfmes the fascination Of the
pirates life overcomes a man spas

accompany bad luck or bad digestion.
Maj. Stede Bonnet was this kind Of a
buccaneer. He was u gentleman of
fortune two centuries ago, who went
out to the Barbados from England be-
cause of failing health. His strength
was indeed restored, and with it came
all the ardor of hissyouth. He heard
tales of the thrilling experiences of
the pirates who occasionally haunted
those waters, and at last he resolved
to try it himself He did not need the
money. but, as ne expressed in a letter
home, T thought it would be every bit
as good sport as hunting"
So the major set out in a small yes
sci of ten guns and a crew of seventy
men. He fitted up his ship at his own
expense. Sailing north he captured

favorable rendezvous for this frater-
nifty. But the ma jeF did not know how
to sail a boat. and his skipper, who
was best known as BLACK Beard, y
soon saw his opportunity. Maj. Bonnet
suddenly found himself a common sail

jor began to pray and to tell his fell
lows that he wanted to go back to civ

pardoned.. Bonnet went to Bath Town,
S. c., and began to preach the gospel.
But not for long. A short time after
ward he turned pirate again under the

Henry he Captured two ships of to-
bacco. For this crime he was tried

Joseph Bert Smiley, author of EST.
Peter at the Gate" is dead He was
found dying in the woods near Kendall
vile, Ind, with a bullet hole in his
temple.
His poem brought him national repu-
tation. 1t is given below
st. Peter stood guard at the golden gate
With solemn mien and air sedate,
When up to the top of the golden stair
A man and woman ascending there,
Applied for admission. They came and
stood
Before st. Peter. SO great and good
In hope the City of Peace to win,
And asked ST. Peter to let them in.
The woman was tall and lank and thin,
With scraggy beardlet upon her chin.
The man was short and thick and stout,
His stomach was built so it rounded out
His face was pleasant and all the while
He wore kindly and genial smile.
The choirs in the distance the echoes
And the man kept still while the woman
spoke.
"Oh, thou who guardest the gate" said
1--WE come hither. beseeching thee
To let us enter the heavenly land,
And play our harpS with the angel band.
OF me, st. Peter, there is no doubt
There's nothing from heaven to bar me
out
I've been to meeting three times week,
A1lU diItfoSt always u rise dHu Spear.
I've told the sinners about the day
When they'd repent of their evil way,
I've told my neighbors-Pve told 'em all
Bout Adam and Eve, and the Primal
Fail,
I've shown them what they'd have to do
If they'd pass in with the chosen few
I've marked their path of duty clear
Laid out the plan for their whole career.
I've talked and talked to 'em loud and
long,
For my lungs are good and my voice is
strong,
So, good st: Peter you'll clearly see
The gate Of heaven is open for me,
But my old man, regret to say,
Hasn't walked in exactly the narrow
way.
He smokes and he swears, and grave
faults he's got,
And l don't now whether he'll pass or
not.
He never would pray with an earnest
VIM
So had to leave him in sorrow there
While l, with the chosen, united in
prayer,
He ate what the pantry CHANGED to at
ford,
While ]. in my purity, sang to the Lord,
And If cucunbers were all he got
Its chance if he merited them or not.
But oh, st. Peter. I love him so
TO the pleasures of heaven please let him
+ go.
+ I've done enough-a saint I've been
Won't that atone? Can't you let him in?
By my grim gospel I know tbs so
That the unrepentant must fry below
But isn't there some way you can see
That he may enter who's dear to me?
