4 THRILL-HUNTTNG TRIP.
MmreI}ous Experiences IN Sia
Months Globe CucHng.

When an American woman who wants thrills
takes a voyage around the world in search Of
them, it is only natural that things should hap
pen. If any one has ever crowded more thrills
into six months globe circling than did Miss
Vera de Noie of this city, let him come for
ward without delay and claim the prize and
belt
This little woman, according to her own shud-
derng story, risked more lives than a cat has
on her trip just ended There was almost life
rsked for each of the seventeen melo-
dramas which she says will result. A New
York widow. Mrs Kennson, went with her,
and lived through the thrills, though she has
intention of dramatizing them. The secret of
their endurance, perhaps, lies in the fact that

unsuitable for modern residences.
The generally accepted ideal style for dwell

houses lately erected in Brussels are in this
picturesque style, and there is a growing ten

with its Xariegated gables, turrets and chimneys

TO RETALIATE.

London, June 1.-THE Russian am
bassador in London, according to the
Catholic Herald, has refused to re-
ceive petition relative to the treat
ment of negroes in the United States
and forward it to the czar, as request
ed by that paper. The petition draws
attention to the increasing outrages
on negroes, accompanied by appalling
brutality" and urges the Russian
government to make representations
to Washington, asking the. authorities
there to take steps, in the interests
of civilization and humanity, to sup
press the growing evil. " The am
bassador says the matter is outside his
purview. The Catholic Herald says
the petition will be sent direct to st,
Petersburg.

FIR UT GROWING.

In an address before the fruit grow
ers' association of New York recent
ly, j. II. Hale, the Connecticut
Georgia peach grower, said
The demand for fruit is yearly in
creasing at "a faster rate than popula-
ton. | remember the time when
Hartford, Conn, with only 40, 900 in
habitants, had only one fruit dealer,
aud only two men in the county grew
straw berries. A sale of six bushels of
berries in one day was an event. Now,
with 50, 900 population, 200 dealers sell
800 to 1000 bushels daily. Handsome
fruit is always in demand.
All over the West and South or
chards of tremendous extent are being
planted, and the owners thereof ex-
pect to send the best of their fruit'to
northern and eastern markets These
planters have no special favored con-
ditions over us. The conditions in
Connecticut are better than in
Georgia. For production, the oppor-
tunity is here. We can make more
money off smaller area. A leading
Chicago dealer told me he would
rather have fruit from the Hudson
river valley, if growers would give it
the attention that western growers do
theirs.
AS to location, start where you are !;
locate near home. You can do Just
as well, and enjoy the old home sur
roundings and friendship. You want
to live, as we'll as make money, and
the best life is IN or near the old
home. Grow the fruits that you like
to care for. 1t is what we put our
hearts into that hrinps the reward
Doubtless the apple is the best fruit
to grow, for it is always wanted
Plant the trees as closely as they
will stand to fruit well, say ten by ten
feet, then take out a part, later an
other part, till the trees stand forty
by forty. This means four times as
many apples at the start, then twice
as many; so with peaches. | believe
in close planting, but many planters
have not the courage to take out the
superfiuous trees when the time comes.
have some plum trees set with
peaches nine by pine feet, which will
bear we'll next season.
Prepare the land thoroughly, stir
it all through the season, and use
cover crops, if nothing more than
weeds and grass. Don't plant other
crops, let the orchard have the first
and best. The advocacy of orchards
in sod is doing harm. On the Ed
we'll farm IN the Sacramento valley,
California, worked with gang plows,
the yield of wheat is fifteen bushels
an acre. Nearby woman farmer
works her land more thoroughly, with
the best tools, and gets thirty-four
bushels.

UNABLE TO WALK.
INSPECTOR JORDAN CRIPPLED WITH
INflAMMAT0RY RHEUMATISM.
A City Official of Lynn, Mass.
Tells How He Was Cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

There is scarcely "A city or village
from the Atlantic to the Pacific which
has not its quota of rheumatic Grip
pies. That much of their suffering
and Inconvenience is unnecessary is
proven by the fact chat a specific has
been found for rheumatism in all it's
forms, remedy that has cured ex-
tremely stubborn cases. The state
ment of recent cure should give en-
couragement to the most hopeless suf-
ferer.
Charles f. Jordan, of No. Z New
Chatham street, Lynn. Mass, inspec-
tor of sewer construction in that city
for many years, was for long time
afflicted with inflammatory rheuma-
tism in his feet, which made him un-
able to walk.
1t is hardly necessary to say that
my condition was extremely pain
full" he says. 1.-The rheumatism
settled in the joints and made me
helpless SO far as walking was con-
cerned. The skin became very tender
and sore and | suffered agonies every
time | had an attack.
MY sister. in-law advised me to
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People and | took them with the best
results. They also had a beneficial
effect upon my general health.
might add that my daughter-in-law is
taking this remedy for paralysis of the
face and finds that the pills are help
ing her greatly
Rheumatism has been treated in
widely different ways even in quite
recent times and ignorant superstition
has furnished many so called charms"
to ward off the disease. Most people
now know that to cure rheumatism it
must be treated through the blood and
to prevent the disease the blood must
be kept pure. External applications
such as oils and liniments, while they
may relieve and soothe the pain, have
no more power to permanently cure
rheumatism than a horse chestnut
carried in the pocket has to prevent
it.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People have a powerful effect in COM
batting the poisons in the blood which
cause rheumatism. This principle OF
attacking disease at the root is the
cause of the miraculous success Of
these pills in curing many severe dis.
orders of the blood and nerves which
do not yield to ordinary medicines

FEEDING Il VARIETY.

Growing chickens cannot easily be
overfed. They will thrive admirably
on all the whole grain they can eat.
But with laying hens 1t is the easiest
thing in the world to overdo the mat
ter when they are fed exclusively on
grain. Heat and producing foods,
such as corn, buckwheat, ETC., should
be given in limited quantities; other
wise the hens will get too tat and
stop laying. When feeding for eggs
the following quantities are advisable
for twenty fowls: In the morning.
just as soon as the hens leave the
roosts, give breakfast, consisting
of boiled vegetables mixed with bran
or oatmeal, and but little. if any,
cornmeal, slightly sailed, occasional
ly peppered, and if possible mixed
also with small quantity of animal
meal. Onions, cabbage, potatoes,
apples, turnips, carrots, beets, all raw
and chopped up fine, may be added to
this mess, or given afterwards separ-
ately The proper allowance Of this
breakfast and dessert" is as much
as the hens will clean up. There is
then no danger of over feeding. One
gill of millet seed will fully answer
for dinner, and just before night, one
quart, or less of oats, should be given
as supper. Wheat, buckwheat, sor-
ghum seed, etc, may occasionally be
substituted for the other grains with
profit The amount must be slightly
varied, according to the size ard ac-
tivity of the different breeds. 1t is
good plan to give oats in the bundle
and make the hens scratch for them
Otherwise it is best to give the clean
grain thrown among leaves and litter,
for the sole purpose of inducing the
hens to stir about. But this manner
of feeding, with plenty of good fresh
water, will bring the eggs. Mirror

Battle WITH THE WEEDS

There is no royal road to NEEDLESS
farm. 1t will be obtained and main
tanned only by constant vigilance and
patient warfare. Professor Bailey, in
his Principles of Vegetable Garden
ing" gives the following suggestions
that will be found of practical value
in any effort to attain such an end:
Practice rotation; keep ahead of
the weeds. Certain weeds follow GER
tain crops. When these weeds become
serious, change the crops. Change
the method of tillage. If weed per-
sists, try deeper or shallowe1 blowing
or a different kind of harrow or cul-
tivator, or till at different times ana
seasons Es ...- -..- \. . ... , ---
Harrow the land frequently when 1T
is in farrow, or is waiting for crop.
Harrow it, if possible, after seeding,
and before the plants are high enough
to be broken by the implement. Po-
ratoes, corn and other things can be
narrowed after they are several inches
high; and sometimes the land may be
narrowed before the plants are up.
Practice frequent tillage with light,
surface working tools throughout the
season. This is hard on weeds and
does the crop good. Pull or hoe out
stray weeds that escape the wheel
tools.
Clean the land as soon as the crop
is harvested and if the land lies open
in the fall, till it occasionally. Many
persons keep their premises scrupu-
lousy clean in the early season, but
let them run wild late in the fall,
and thus is the land seeded for the
following year.
Use clean seed. particularly of crops
that are sown broadcast, and which,
therefore, do not admit tillage. Do
not let the weeds go to seed on the
manure piles, in the fence corners,
and along the highway. Avoid coarse
and raw stable manure, particularly
if it is suspected of harboring bad
company. Commercial fertilizers may
be used for time on foul land.
Sheep and pigs sometimes can be
employed to clean the weeds from foul
and fallow land. Land infested with
Jerusalem artichokes is readily
cleaned if hogs are turned IN. Induce
your neighbor to keep his land as
clean as you keep yours.
Rank pigweeds and their like are a
compliment to a mans soil. Land
that will not grow weeds will not
grow crops, for crops are only those
particular kinds of weeds man
wants to raise. Weeds have taught us
the lesson of good tillage There is
no indication that they intend to re-
NIT their efforts in our behalf. Mir
ror and Farmer.

THE PROFITLE,SS COZ W.

Much has been said and written on
the subject of scrub stock, and the
scrub COW has come in for her full
share of condemnation. The Live
Stock Farmer has the following to
say on the subject:
. A COW census would show that,
so far as the farmer is concerned half
OF the COWS could be sent to the butch
er without loss to their owners. The
public would, of course, be the loser,
for a definite amount of milk would
be taken out of trade, and the re-
mainder would be III such demand
that the price would be enhanced.
On the farmers side, however, the
result would mean profit. Ultimately
the general public might get it's milk
as cheap as at first, for the poor COWS
would no longer produce poor COWS,
but the entire supply of calves would
come from profitable mixers. Now,
year after year, the farmer puts "a
certain sum of money in the way of
feed into his COW and gets back the
same sum. He throws in his work.
Most of the men that are doing this
do not know it, for they have never
kept an account of what they are do
ing. They have no idea as to the re-
suits from milking operations. They
take it for granted that the hard work
they are putting in is profitable Little
by little the poor COWS are being
weeded out of the herds, but progress
is slow. We need to use more uni
versally the milk scales, the Babcock
test and the lead pencil. " Mirror and

The grand jury indicted Mrs. AL
drich for murder in the first dergee.
The case was put on trial on July 2

Thursday when Mrs. Aldrich was
called to testify in her own defense.
She testified that the trouble began
when she found Mrs. Massey licking
her five-year- old brother, Perley Wat
erman. The witness said Mrs. Massey
tackled her first and she acted in self
defence. After the witness had
spanked her she supposed the trouble
was over, but Mrs. Massey tackled
her again and this time they clinched
and rolled down the embankment, she
did not see Mrs. Massey after that.

ments and Judge Stafford's charge and
the case went to the jury at o'clock
last eight. States Attorney Morse
was assisted in the prosecution by AL
exander Dunnett and w. H. Taylor
