The value of Burrell's cantaloupe

The value OF Burrell's cantaloupe
fertilizer was proven by his expert
mental crop this year. Canta-
loupes were produced at the rate
OF $40 crates to the acre, with per
haps enough left after the frost to
run the total up to 400 crates. Ii
seems as il this new fertilizer is just
what our cautaloupe growers are
looking for to cause early ripening.
Thousands OF dollars would have
now been in the pockets OF our
growers had this fertilizer been in
general use this season Rocky

ready to turn everything into a joke,
he was just the one to keep Sam from
thinking about himself.
Their regiment was one of those sent
to the Philippines to enable Dewey to
hold what he had taken, and, during
the tiresome voyage across to the ISL
ands, Sam was necessarily thrown
largely upon himself for mental occu-
patton, and so Major Billiards. part
ing reproach came back to his mind
to sting him again and again. He was
the most miserable man aboard the
transport when their destination was
at last reached, and even the healthfu1
exercise and excitement Of fighting and
chasing insurrectos, which began i'm
mediately, failed to drive from his
mind the cloud of morbid gloom that
had settled down over it. Hours and
hours he spent, silently torturing his
brain with regret for having enlisted,
and then came unconsciously to think
ing out loud.
ooh, If I'd only listened tub Majah
Buliard," be groaned, 81 wouldn't ha'
done it."
Tom Owens, lying wrapped in his
blankets on the ground at his side,
raised his head. wouldn't ha' done
whatT he asked.
Sans face flushed hot. ooh, I was
Just thinkin," he stammered.
"But thinkin' what?" Tom persisted;
"who's Major Billiard, anyway? And
what Is it you wouldn't ha' done If
you'd ha' listened to him?'
wouldn't have enlisted" Sam blurt-
ed out, no longer able to contain his
trouble.
wouldn't have enlistedw Tom ejac-
ulated; "why, what In thunder's tn
matter with you? Gettin' cold feet?
Nav, won't believe that. But what
Is it?"
"No, rs not cold feet" Sam said;
I-well oughtn't tub be wearin
tn unirorm-that's ALL"
"Why oughtn't you" Tom returned
in surprise.
"Because-can you understand BE
cause my father was killed at Gettys-
burg by man wearin' tn blue, an
an l feel like it's stranglin' me all tn
time" poured brokenly from Sans
lips.
Tom threw back his blanket and sat
UP in amazement. why, old man,
didn't know anybody could feel that
way about tan American, 1 mean"
he said, gently; ''but then, my dad
wore tn blue In that little scrimmage."
whats thatp' Sam asked, sharply;

doin' In Tennessee regiment, then"

The Unpopular Woman.

The keep distance forbidding
attitude taken by so many women has
a terrible effect on the expression Of
the face. There Is seldom any need
for them to speak. Expression does
that as plainly as the tongue, or even
more plainly sometimes.
The popular woman is she who has
a bright word and CHEEKY smile for all,
and who does not allow herself to be
drawn into cliques. There Is such a
thing as miserable happiness. It
sounds contradictory, but it is mat
ter Of fact that such state Of things
exists, chiefly in women-not all wom-
en-, Of course, but just those who are
always on the lookout for troubles
ahead, and If they enjoy themselves,
their dismal way of doing so effectu-
ally prevents enjoyment on the part Of
those who are with them.
a grievance Is an absolute necessity
to them, and they are not happy with
out they are worrying themselves or
others, quite forgetting that sufficient
for the days is the evil thereof"
There are 80 many real troubles for
some Of us to bear that it is natural
that we should shun the society of
those gloomy people who have every

within striking distance, but some or
island, savage bolo-men, who had not
yet tasted the mettle Of their enemies,
and these stood their ground With .
wild yell the Americans poured into
the first trench, and on the instant Sam
and those near him found themselves
engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand con-
flict with the bolo-men A long brown
arm shot out at Sam, and a cleaning
blade came whistling down at his
head, but he detected the blow with
wound in the arm, and a quick lunge
sent his bayonet into the others
breast It was action quick and sharp.
Close at hand an American was bat
Ting single-handed with a circle Of
foes, and he sprang to his assistance.
Thrusting, parrying, clubbing with
the butt Of his rifle, the other man
turned his face just then, and Sam
saw that it was the face Of the son OK
the man that killed his father-the face
Of Tom Owens. With the thought
that he had only to keep his hands off
to see his fathers death avenged dart
ing into his brain, be stopped, but the
next moment the sight Of half a dozen
bolos uplifted to strike, drove all the
hatred from his heart, letting in in
stead the love and kindly feeling that
had preceded it. His arms shot out,
catching the descending blades on his
rifle, and then, before another blow
could be struck on either side, volley
at short range from body Of their
comrades ended the fight.
Toms rifle slipped from his bleeding
fingers, and he turned to Sam. did
you know it was me, old man" he
asked, with a catch in his voice.
For answer Sam held out his hand,

Give the baby and each child bed
to himself. HaYe the sleeping-room
cool and clean and as bare Of furniture
as a cell. See that the clothing Of the
little sleeper Is loose at the neck, waist
and arms, and keep his head uncover
ed. If there is anything young anil
mails cannot do without it is fresh air,
and babies get less than any other
class. Through the pores Of the skin
the body is continually throwing off
poisonous vapors. If the head is COW
cred with the bed clothing, the unfor-
tunate infant will be breathing bad
air. Fashion or no fashion, it is a
cruel shame\ to trim or starch babies
clothing. The average child suffers
from overlooking and over-dressing.
Let him learn to be a trifle hungry.
Half the time the child cries he wants
air or fresh water. Wiping the lips Of
q crying baby with cool water will
often soothe and refresh him.

Men Are Vain, She Says.


Masculine vanity is a mighty thing
here in Philadelphia. A girl who
comes from the sunny South shocked
crowd of women at an afternoon tea
the other day by complaining that no
man in Philadelphia had "ever told
her he loved her."
"Why-why, my DEAR" said the hos
tess, you've only been here two
weeks"
The Southern girl opened her brown
eyes very wide at that.
But" she protested, ''they tell me
they love me every day down home.
It's awfully uncomplimentary to be
afraid to tell girl you love her, 1or
fear she will take you seriously, don't
you think? The trouble with the men
up here is that they all set such a high
market value on the girls that they are
continually paralyZed with fear lest
you take them seriously and get your
heart broken. Now, down home
man wouldn't presume to think you
were going to take him seriously, even
if he knew it." and with this logical
conclusion she Haunted out of the
room amidst q chorus of exclama-
lions.

Ideals of a Woman.

During her engagement the woman
of a certain type spends her waking
and sleeping moments building ped
estal upon which she places her be-
loved. Before the honeymoon Is over
she decides that she built the pedestal
too high, and proceeds to remove O.
few Of the foundation blocks labeled
"maidhood's ideals"
About the third year Of their mar
ried life she becomes possessed OF the
idea that she belongs on that pedestal,
and calmly climbs up. A year or so
later she reads that Helen Of Troy
played ping-pong with her nations
history at 40, and that Cleopatra had
reached the same mature age when
she captivated Caesar, Anthony and a
few other notables of her day. Where
upon Milady Matrimony drops a hint
to her matter-of-fact spouse that he
ought to be proud Of the right to delve
after money for the purpose Of adorn-
ing and embellishing the figure of one
who is so marked q credit to his good
taste.
Five years later she thinks her hus-
band is something Of a brute because
he cannot figure out how to send two
athletic-loving boys through college
and give daughter a few finishing
touches in French and music-all on
$4,000 a year. Then, when the storm
has blown over and the boys have
settled into business without the col
lege education, and daughter is head
stenogra pher for BIN, Burre1l & Co.,
at 20 per, she one day discovers that
the gray hairs are coming in thick
above fathers temples, and that there
are lines in his face which she had
never noticed before.
Then comes to her moment Of re-
Election. Backward rolls the panorama
Of their married life, and she sees it
through a gentle mist. Then, oddly
enough, the man finds himself just
where they started out together-on

Spanish Armada Relics.

Some time ago Captain Burns, Of
Glasgow, obtained permission from the
Duke Of Argyle to prosecute a search
for the wreck Of the Admiral Of Flor
ence, one Of the vessels Of the Span
ish armada which was blown up In
1888 in Tobermory bay. A diver had
not been long at work when he found
a pistol, heavily incrusted with lime,
a kedge anchor and a sword blade.
But the most important discovery, the
Glasgow Herald reports, was a bronze
cannon in perfect preservation. 1t
measures about four feet six inches in
length and about eight inches in diam
eter at the breech, and bears the date
1868. Several pieces of oak, much de-
cayed and worm-eaten, supposed to be
blanks Of the Admiral of Florence,
were also found.

One Virtue Lacking.

eve have had our troubles over the
servant girl problem, the same as the
rest of the world" said the Pitts
burger, land whenever a new one
comes to us we hope for a week or
two that we have found the lost jewel.
A month ago, when we made q
change, the new girl took hold so we'll
that there was not one single fault to
be found. My wife was naturally
more enthusiastic than I was, and at
the end Of fortnight she wanted me
to admit that the prize had been dis
covered at last. She said that the
girl was tidy, respectful, truthful and
Industrious, and the only thing I
could think Of in reply was to hope
that she wouldn't turn out to be a
thief.
"'That is shame and a slanderv
exclaimed my wife. I'll test her to-
morrow, and I'll wager any money
she'll come out pure gold
"She tested by leaving four diamond
rings on the dresser while she went
shopping, and when I came home at
night my wife was in tears. The girl
had taken the rings and sloped. 1 re-
marked that the test could have been
made just as we'll with one ring, or
even a dollar bill, but up to the pres
ent time the words have not given her
any comfort, and we have had no

The Reconstruction of Sam

stopped tn clock when Lee surren-
dahed. TIL Spaniahds need a lickin'
tn worst kind, an I'm glad all ovah t
Uncle Sans big enough tub give 1t
tub EN-"
Little Sam had always looked up, or
rather down, to his cousin with great
deal Of respect, and, thus encouraged,
he was one Of the first to enlist when
the call for colunteers came and jour-
neyed to the nearest city for the pur-
pose.
Immediately afterward he was per-
mitted to go home to arrange his af-
fairs, and while there happened to
meet Major Billiard. The veteran re-
garded him in stern, disappearing ST.
lence a few moments, and finally said,
harshly: $50 you've gone an enlisted,
have you ?-gone back on yo' father an
his people? Well, sub, all I've got tub
say is, I hope you'll live tub have tn
son O. tn man t. killed yo' father make
you black his boots. I do, sub; by
Ned, I do" And with a savage flour
ish Of bis cane, he contemptuously
turned his back and walked away.
This set Little Sam to troubling
again. Then came the ordeal Of put
ting on his uniform, but it was made
far less trying by the news that Fitz-
hugh Lee, a general Of the Confeder-
acy, and nephew of ''the we'll beloved"
Robert E., had set him the example
by accepting a commission as general
in the army Of the United States. And
when he finally got it on and surveyed
himself in a glass, the wonderful mis-
fit the government had furnished him
made him laugh outright, and it all
came easier for him after that.
Among those who had enlisted from
the city was Tom Owens, man Of
about Sans age and size; and being
assigned to Sans company, he was
placed next to him In the ranks, and
so the two quickly became friends.
This, too, was fortunate for Sam. for
Tom was his opposite in nearly every
respect; well versed in the ways Of
the world, his mental powers sharp
ened by contact with other men, and

Dangerous Charms in Women.

Experience teaches that charm in q
woman is Of even greater worth than
beauty. The worlds history furnishes
innumerable instances Of this, and In
the lurid light Of the CHASTITY Servian
tragedy Queen Draga stands forth as
the latest example Of the wondrous
power Of fascination. Like the poet,
made, who possesses this dangerous
and subtle quality. But to a certain
extent it can be cultivated, and Queen
Draga made a cult Of charm and it's
twin sister, tact, from the cradle to
the grave. She was not strictly beau
tiful, she had no ancestry, she was
very much the senior of the young
King who risked his throne and final
ly gave his life for her; but she pos
sessed to a marvellous degree the
hold those with whom she came in con-
tact, says the London World.
And, furthermore, she understood
the art Of dressing almost better than
any other woman in Europe. She died
in a peignoir, but it's beauty seems to
have impressed even her assassins;
and in life she is said to have never
misser an effect or made an error In
the details Of her dress. In a greater
country than that in which she rose
to the highest position, Queen Draga
would have been an European power
with whom to reckon, for no woman
can dress to absolute perfection and
sway men and women alike by her in
effable charm without becoming a dan
ger. Happily, the ability to do both
is given only to the very FEW, but every
woman may we'll be counselled to
make this her ambition.
