Queen Ran the Family

The late Queen Louise Of Denmark

Inner life to shining external one. She
possessed in an extraordinary degree
the power Of suggesting to others
without appearing TO wish or will
Though masterful, she never appeared
Ito seek for mastery in family or Other
.matters and she retained to the last
Iday of her life her maternal hold on
|the hearts of her children and kin.
|Those who entered the family by mar
|riage became amenable to her moral
suasion. She understood that a way to
bold her own with them was to avoid
Ian intrusion in their homes and affairs.
When the Imperial Royal and ex-
|iled kindred gathered round the late
|Queen Of Denmark, at Fredensborg,
|they accepted absolutely her sway as
|mother and mistress of the house The
|law Of primogeniture ruled: thus the
Princess of Wales took precedence in

win help things. I leave it to you TO
decide which is for which. A warm
bed in winter is easily got, but a cool
bed in summer is not so simple a
proposition. However. sheet made
of straw mating, interposed between
the regular sheet and the mattress, will
be found to mitigate sensibly the hor-
rors of a hot night. 1t preserves the
softness and springiness Of the bed
and yet is pleasantly cool, without be-
ing too cool. Personally, / find that
sleep comes soonest when have no
pillows at all.
The next thing is to relax utterly.
Remember that the corner of the jaw
is the citadel of tension. While that is
clinched no sleep can come. But most
important of all is the disposition OF
the mind so that sleep can come. The
reason why we fail in this is the same
as the reason why we fail in other
things; We do not very genuinely want
to succeed. AS we lie stretched out
after a busy day, there are so many
thoughts that we want to chase after
that we drop the notion of sleep.
though we know that tomorrow is an
other day on which we can think. 1t
is all very we'll to say. Dismiss these
thoughts" How TO dismiss them is
the problem that each must solve.

MARSH FOR WINTER
cunners Complain Of Dull Reed Bird
Season. Other Town Notes.

Special to the Evening Journal.
Newport. Aug. 3t.-James II. Mahon
has leased from John r. Lyman, for
the winter. the large marsh OF 1875
acres. known as the Churchman marsh.
for trapping purposes. 1t has been the
custom in recent years for the trappers
OF not only this vicinity but nearby
towns to intrude on one another, by
stealing their traps and often the land
owners would be the losers and for
this reason many Of the owners Of
the various marshes along the Christ
lana are leasing them 70 individual
parties, who make n business OF trap
ping during the winter months, when
fur is saleable.
Local gunners say this reed bird
season is the dullest they have ever
known. The ground here Is covered
with good feed and they think the
birds will yet make their way here be-
fore very long.
Carp fishing season, which soon viii
open, promises TO be a very profitable
one to local fishermen. Last year over
$4,000 worth Of fish was caught and
sold from the Christiana River.
Contractor A. S. Reed & Bro. have
finished the work of demolishing the
old F., b. & w r. r. station. A tenn

of This obncure Country.
Our first meeting with the Sifans pre-
sented many ludicrous features. We
were plunging through the gloom OF the
forest when our ears were assailed
with a concourse Of yells which echoed
through the supernatural silence with

soon explained, for In the lower branch

small bundles. each too large for an
eyrie and too small for a windfall.
Both my Kiangsi and Gharlkauese

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

High and gravelly soil is the best for
fr--tt trees.
Mildew Is the worst enemy of the
gooseberry. Pruning is the best rem
edy.
Rosin and tallow in equal parts is
an excellent covering for wounds in
fruit and other trees.
To cultivate among trees use a Whit
tietree as short as the horse can walk
with. Turn the hooks In.
The weeds must be kept down around
the small fruit trees and vines If the
fruit is to mature and ripen rightly.
Look over the orchard occasionally
to see that no suckers are growing from
the roots OF the trees to sap the strength
from the main tree.
Plants in windows should be turned
once or twice a week. A fine form,
which is half the beauty of a plant,
cannot be attained without this.
Wood ashes not only help to keep
borers from the roots Of trees but the
trees make a healthier and more vigor-
GUS growth and bear much sounder
fruit when they are used.

ARMY OF THE PHILIPPINES
Fourth Annual Convention In Session
At st. Paul.

st. Paul. Sept 1.-All parts Of the
United States sent delegates to the
fourth annual convention OF the Army
of the Philippines, which began here.
The business sessions Of the conven-
ton are held in the senate chamber Of
the state house. The first session was
devoted mainly to organization OF COM
mittees. General Irving Hale presided.
There is no disposition to introduce
legislation favoring federation with the
Spanish War Veterans, and while 1t is
not intended to lose the identity of the
Army Of the Philippines, an alliance
SO close as to make the organizations
one in national sense is aimed at.
This matter was broached at the meet
ing but was not given free discussion
because General Hale said the meeting
was not sufficiently aized for the
consideration of sucn subjects. The
resolution committee has before it a
resolution to establish uniform ritual
for the initiation Of members OF the
various camps.

Francis "cast aside every weight that
