The Mnmen of Lansum.

Woman supreme-without the ballot!
And this feather which London An
swers sticks in the cap of woman is no
less brilliant because she is allowed to
wear it only in the town Of Langum.
In that little Welsh village man
neither is nor pretends to be. In other
villages he sometimes pretends to be,
but in this sequestered nook on the
Pembrokeshire coast he is simply An
ME Williams man or Mary Jones
man and recognizes himself as such.
In Langum woman is the dominating
force in the market; she is the house
hold financier, the family accountant,
and in fact fills all the positions which
in any other community, civilized or
barbaric, are established by precedent
given to man. Whether he of Langum
has resigned or been divested Of all re-
sponsibilities of life is no part Of this
story.
There is another important fact In
Langum life-oysters. The place is fa-
nous for them. But Langum oysters
are in no sense rivals of Langum wo-
mankind; their proverbial dumbness
precludes that.

"A MONTANA BLUFF"
How Four Troopers Made Seventy
Ave EiIIpInoa Flee.

What is regarded as one of fhe tallest
bluffs on record furnished Captain Ed
gar Russell, chief signal officer In the
Philippines during the insurrecton,
with a story which he told as an exam
pie of western nerve.
"We were outside Of Manila In some
little scrap" said the captain, "and
about seventy-five natives were lying
In a trench ahead of us, shooting away
merrily, but not hitting anybody. BY
and by l noticed little disturbance in
our front Presently four Montana
troopers trotted out of our lines and
started straight for the Filipinos. Ey-
erybody looked at them with wonder
and waited to see them all killed Bull
lets whistled al around them, but they
never halted. Slowly, just at a trot,
they logged on toward the enemy. The
natives fired and fired, but for some
unknown reason did not hit. On and
on went the quartet, disdaining cover.
At last there was a shout, and to our
utter astonishment we beheld the sew
enty-five Filipinos suddenly jump out
of their trenches and take to their
heels in mad flight. The nerve OF the
Montana troopers was too much for
them. When they had nil fed, throw
Ing their rifles away as they ran, the
troopers came back. their arms full or
guns. That is what the army called a
Montana bluff It's the sort OF nerve
that lets man open jackpot on
pair of deuces. New York Tribune.

Newport.s Architecture.

The cottages Of Newport afford
strange commentary upon the con-
trasting tastes of the American ma
ton. Their heterogeneity were impes-
sible in a race of settled culture, In
race of common blood, in country of
limited extent But the United States
is a nation of nations. Its people are
not Americans, but Englishmen and
Scotsmen, Frenchmen and Germans.
Italians and Spaniards of the third or
fourth or tenth generation, says the
Smart Set. Their taste in architec-
ture is q taste that was born on the
sunny Mediterranean shore, In cozy
Normandy orchards, in classic Spain
and Italy, in baronial Scotland and
England 1t is revealed in the cha
teaux, the castles. the villas, the log
gias Of Newport. Seville and Well

Instincts That Lead to Death.

Professor Mivart proved that there
are "instincts" that lead to death by
failing to adapt themselves to change
of circumstances. Migratory quail by
thousands perish in the deserts of
northern Africa, where their ancestors
used to find a comfortable winter re-
sort, abounding with forests and even
with grainfields, If we shall credit
Pliny's account of the Numidian coast
lands. The forests are gone, but myri-
hds of quail still follow in the same
route at the risk Of starvation.

PIG PORK.

Husky Little WSaD1ings Hastened
Along Fer Quick Sale.
The day of the four-year-old steer is
past. No up to date stockman thinks
in these days of rapid growth of feed
ing steer after he has passed his thir-
tieth month. In the same way the big
hog of 300 to 500 pounds weight has
also disappeared. A young animal
makes it's most rapid growth during
the first days of its existence. The
rate of growth decreases gradually
with age The secret of success in
swine raising, then, is to sell the ami
NAL as soon as it ceases to convert
feed into flesh with profit. This means,
Of course, quick maturing type, and
the result is ''pig pork" The pig has
been forced by sort of dollhouse proc
ess to make at 200 pounds a close imi-
tation of fully matured hog, just as
baby beef has by special development
and selection been made to take the
place of the ripened steer Keep no
pigs during the winter months except
for breeding purposes. Sows should
farrow in March or April, and with
their litters well protected against in
clement weather they will get good
start, so that the husky little wean-
nngs will go on summer pastures in
fine order.
What Sends q Little Pig to Market.
Good pastures should be the piece de
resistance of young porkers' diet, with
middlings and skimmilk on the side,
garnished with charcoal, and don't for
get that pig takes water like duck.
A most successful pig feeder in st.
Louis county has clean pond where
pigs may swim and cool themselves,
but they are always clean. Finish off
Mr.. Porker with q little corn and put
the money he brings in your Christ
mas stocking. Then you will know
what Mother Goose meant when she
handed down the classic line, 'This lit
tie pig went to market" Most farmers
will want to raise two litters year,
but If cost Of production is carefully
followed up the spring farrows will
undoubtedly pay best If they are kept
growing.-Rural World.

MARSH ROOT

No better combination, as we prepare

cifcally upon the Kidneys and Liver
than Marsh Root. AS Liver Invigor-
ator Marsh Root is now a conceded fact,
and where the Liver is torpid and slug
gish Constipation manifest, the body
tired, the eyes blurred, and weakened,
the complexion poor, sensation OF dull
headaches, and languor prevailing,
Marsh Root will overcome them.
AS to the Efficacy of Marsh Root. and
its fight against Kidney Diseases, you
can be your own judge if you are an af-
fiicted, and if it fails to relieve or cure
you, take the bottle back to your Drug
gist and he will give you your
money back. Marsh Root stands for
the cure of Inflammation or Catarrh of
the Bladder, Blocked Kidneys, Scalding
Urine, Rheumatic Gout, Gravel, Uric
Acid, etc. The organs that require the
most careful attention land are the most
often neglected, and the human filters
or strainers-the Kidneys, and therefor
doubly require your attention.
Do not delay when the Kidney machinery
needs repair. Do not allow a break down to

Wonderful Growth and Ability b.
Seek Water Deep In the Ground.
That alfalfa Is deep roofing plant
Is well known. An Onondaga coun-
ty CN. " correspondent of Orange
Judd Farmer says: Hamlet Worker.
one OF the leading dairy farmers OF
this county, brought me the most per-
fectiy exhumed root | ever saw. The
upper portion had been destroyed by
cayein OF the soil. The missing por
ton was carefully estimated at 21a feet
long. The preserved portion measures
13 feet 10 inches. This plant was from
a field sown in April, 1901. The soil
is a mixture of clay and sand on
high knoll. At depth of thirty inches
Is layer of very hard congloznerate
or cemented gravel. Below that is
coarse, sharp sand. The discovery Of
this sand led to the opening of a bed
and the destruction of the hill Gradu-
ally the excavation had undermined
the meadow, and the thick, fibrous
roots of the alfalfa plants have formed
very pretty draperies for the cave.
Mr.. Worker at considerable trouble un-
dertook to save the system of finely
developed plant and succeeded per-
fectly.
Tracing the Long Taproot.
After clearing the sand from the
great mass of fibrous roots at the low
est extremity, he followed the taproot
straight up to the stratum of conglom-
crate, which had to be broken up with
a sledge hammer Through this ada
mantine crust the root had managed to
penetrate in a zigzag course for six
inches until the sand was reached. Ex-
cept for the crinkfing of the root in this
part 1t is not otherwise deformed by
this rocky soil. Having once found its
way through, 1t continued to expand
and make room for itself. The diane
ter is quite uniform from the surface
of the ground to q point about eleven
feet In the earth and is the size Of an
ordinary lead pencil. AT that point the
bushing habit begins, and the remain
ing five feet Is most accurately de-
scribed as long and heavy horse tail.
OF course the feeding roots must at
one time have been developed near the
surface, and there Is evidence all along
this taproot of the former existence
of rootlets wbich have been absorbed
or sloughed OF.

Budded Peach Trees.

Little peach trees that were hudded
this year and are now in good condi-
tion may be taken up about November
and safely kept over winter in a cool,
damp cellar, but their roots must not
be allowed to get dry or they will be
damaged. They should have their roots
covered with earth the same as If they
were heeled in out Of doors. and this
must be moistened from time to time,
unless the cellar is very damp, which
is not likely to be the case. They can
be set in nursery rows next year or
Into the orchard next spring.-Cor. Ru-

A Change of Heart.

When q man first loves, he feels un-
worthy for no particular reason. Later
he acquires the reason and forgets to
feel unworthy.-Smart Set
Falcons In Japan.
In the olden times in Japan all the
daimios (similar to the old English
lord) had great sport with falcons, as
they went out to the field to catch other
birds with falcons. The falcons were
tanned well and used to catch large
birds, mostly cranes. When people now
go out hunting with falcons, the men
In charge hold them upon their fin
gers. AS soon as one sees any bird
he lets the falcon rush ut the bird; as
soon as the falcon reaches the bird he
bites at the throat and throws the bird
down to the ground. Meanwhile the
holder runs to the place where they are
and catches both of them.
Falcons are not large birds; but, as
they belong to the eagle family, they
are strong and brave and never afraid
to go at any bird to kill it, but the men
in charge of falcons of course take
great care in feeding and tanning them.
