ON THE FARM
Where Peace and Quiet is Supposed
 To Reign.

4O 1SolBn III.
 New York Sun.
 There is a farmer up in Westchester County who wishes that there wasn't any such member of the human family as the nephew who is so bad that he can't be kept in a boarding school and has to be sent to the country to learn how to be- have himself. He has just such nephew stopping with him.
 This particular farmer makes a spe- cialty of raising very fine chickens. more for his own amusement than anything else, and along with them he keeps a few gamecocks. Of course, the gameeocks are for his amusement, too. but that's an~ other matter altogether.
 ''Yes. have some gamecocks." he said the other day. What is more, everybody in the. whole town knows it now. It all came about through that young fellow. He isn't so very young, either-guess he turned sixteen along with the turning tricks on his poor old relatives.
 When he learned that I was mighty fond of my hens and chickens he said he'd like to help me take care of them. began right away to fear the worst, and I hit the nail on the head that time, too.
 Nothing would do but he had to take a hand in running the incubator. l had about 300 of the finest half game and Half Plymouthrock eggs in the machine the other day that were ever laid by any hens on earth. I wouldn't have taken $1 900 for the lot.
 Well, I go away one day to see friend and the young cub he invites some of his young rascal friends around to see how my incubator works. Some how he got the idea that the eggs were not matching out fast enough. so what does he do but turn on the heat, full blast, to see what would happen. That kid, he wasn't around when they were passing out of brains, tell you.
 Well, nothing happened that he could see, and pretty soon he got tired waiting to see the chickens hop out.
 Guess I'll pinch one of the eggs said he, and see if can help one of the chick ems out
 He did, and of course the egg was as hard as a rock. Couldn't be anything else All the rest of them were, too. The whole 300 were baked silly. And then he said he was sorry.
 T made him sorrier, you can bet. But thrashing doesn't do his kind any good. Some doctor ought to take out his brains and sift them. and if he was dead when the doctor got ready to put 'em back 1t

BUTTONS ON BUSHES.
A Nut Furnishes This Needed Ar
 ticle of Wearing Apparel.

Popular Mechanics.
 No, the ivory buttons you wear do not represent the death of an elephant in the wilds of Africa. your pearl buttons were probably never nearer than you took them to the shell of bivalve mollusk, and the probabilities are that no rubber tree was ever tapped to produce the hard rubber buttons that adorn your overcoat. Down in Central America there is fruit produc- ing palm that has quite metamorphosed the button business, and formed the nu- cleus for one of the most important in dustries in the United States. The seed of this fruit contains a milk that Is sweet to the taste and relished by the natives. The milk when allowed to remain in the nut long enough becomes indurated and turns into a substance as brittle and hard as the ivory plant, Most of the buttons now used in America. whether termed ivory. pearl. rubber, horn or bone, come from this ivory plant. Thus the proba- bilitles are that your buttons are made from a vegetable milk, and they grow on bushes.
 The ivory plant is one of the marvels of the age. and is rewarding it's growers with vast fortunes. The nuts are brought to the United States by the shipioad and hauled across the continent to big button factories. from which they issue forth III every tOuCSiNdDle ueSiSn. cOloT, BTdue, and classification of button.
 The ivory plant has recently been dis covered in California. but the nut 1t pro- duces in it's wild state is of inferior qual- ity and will not make good buttons. It is believed. though. that with the proper cultivation the fruit would be as valuable as the Central American product If so, the growing of buttons in America would become an industry of importance second only to the growing of corn. wheat and cotton, for everybody wears buttons.
 The best ivory nut for commercial pur- poses is found on the banks of the River Magdalena. in the United States of Co., lombla. where by some it Is called the Tagua palm. The fruit forms a globular head about twice the size of a mans head and weighs from twenty to twenty-eight pounds. The head is a kind of cluster of bulbs and In all contains from fifty to sixty seeds. The seeds are allowed to dry and are harvested several times year by the natives,

 To catch cold in May is often more dangerous than to catch cold in January The first warm days of May are depresB- ing and tend to exaggerate the enervat- ing influences of the cold. w
 If person catches cold in January he is braced up by the invigorating weather. but to catch cold in May is unfortunate as the weather tends to depress rather than invigorate In this way 1t frequent- ly happens that to take cold in May is far worse than winter cold. The May cold hangs on week after week. The usual remedies seem to do no good. It produces complete lassitude of the whole body. Red. puffy eyes. sneezlrg and fullness of the nose, raw, red sore throat. hoarseness. want of appetite these are few of the symptoms of May cold.
 But should cold make It's appearances in spite of precautions don't wait for it to get settled. Begin to take Peruna at the appearance of the first symptoms. A few doses of Peruna in the beginning will do wonders Don't take any quinine. It will only make you more liable to take cold again. Peruna cures cold with- oout damage to the system.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna. write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- wee gratis.

Some Anecdotes of R. H. stoddard.

F. E.. Eaton. in Harpers Weekly.
 Eugene Field has told, in his poem 'The Stoddards." how he and the veteran poet who has just died-both of whom could remember the very birth of American po- etry-would sit for hours praising without restraint the people who are thoroughbreds, and roasting the ones that ain't.
 The "Dean's" likes and disiikes were strong.
 Six weeks ago I told Mir. stoddard the best anecdote. had ever heard about him. It was credited to his family physi- clan and long time friend Mir. Daniel NJ. Stimson. and was to the effect that the poet while endeavoring to procure an i'm promptu luncheon for a number of friends after Mrs Stoddard and the servants had retired. found a box of sardines His somewhat vigorous remarks, inspired by a sardine cans objections to the "open sesame" of a dull jack-knife. attracted the attention of Mrs. Stoddard on the floor above.
 What are you doing?' she called down.
 Opening a can of sardines."
 With what?"
 "A dashed old jack-knife," cried the exasperated poet. What did you think was openlng 1t with?"
 Well dear" she said, dryly. 'I didn't exactly think you were opening 1t with prayer"
 Mir. Stoddard laughed heartily. and de- clared that the story was a base fabrf- cation. but 1t is so characteristic in all details that I am confident his recollec- tion and not the story was at fault
 Mir. Stoddard's first book. 'Footprints. :" published in 1s49. so little satisfied him that he burnt all but d few copies. And sec" he added. after describing the in cident. ''that some dashed fool paid sss for one Of them the other day!''

kN ISs L. F. ACKER, 3O3 Second Ave. Vk Detroit Mich. writes:
 "Peruna is a decided beautifier, better than any paint or powder for it gives you that clear, smooth complexion and the glow of health, which no cos- metic can ever initiate. I was troubled for several years with humor of the blood which inflamed the skin and at times covered my face with pimples and blotches. I had pains 4n my head, back and limbs. and was constipated. I took Peruna and in short time all was changed. All the impurities of the blood were cleansed, the pains relieved, and 1 was restored to perfect health. My complexion Is fine and clear. and do not need any powder to cover up the imper- factions. Miss l.. r. Acker.
