st. Petersburg is one of the few great
cities which have been made and not
born During his residence in Holland
Peter the Great was SO impressed by
Amsterdam, perched upon the waters,
that he determined to abandon Moscow
and build a new capital which should
have canals for streets. In his cam
paign against Sweden in 1902 he noted
an island situated in the midstream of
the Neva. ''Here is my Russian Am
sterdam!' he exclaimed and immedi-
ately began the building Of city there.
The site was a marsh in summer and
a frozen morass in winter. Two mis-
cradle huts were the only buildings.
The erection of the citadel, a great fort
in the shape of a heXagon, with tow
er 300 feet high, on the north bank of
the Neva, was his first care. The cot
tage in which Peter lived while laying
out the city still exists.

T. Norton Goddard, the conquerer of
New Yorks policy evil told at the r.
cent dinner given in his honor at the
Savoy hotel an old story of maid
servant.
'This maid" he said, ''had just come
over from the old country, and she was
very green. Everything she did pro-
claimed her greenness. One of her
habits was alw0 US to come downstairs
backward
81 assure you, it was funny sight
to see her descending a staircase slow
ly in that way. Her hand grasped the
ballustrade for safety, and every lit
tie while she looked round to see how
much farther she had to go.
"'Why do you come downstairs
backward, Kathleen?" she was asked.
"'Sure, sir she answered, that's the
way we always came downstairs in the
ship coming over. Isn't it the fashion
in America ?''-Boston Post.

An "OIh Maid" In Court,

Here is subject Cor the women's
clubs of the country. A Mrs. Fitzpat-
rick of Brooklyn got into a dispute
with neighbor, Miss Story, and APP
piled to her the epithet "old maid"
The case got into court and Magistrate
Furlong, in holding the accused, said:
ut is a very serious thing to cali a
woman an old maid. If a woman is
unfortunate enough to reach the age OF
30 without being married it is an an
noyance to her that amounts to disor-
derby conduct to call her an old maid. y
But suppose that Miss S. is unmar'
ried by choice. Suppose that she has
had many offers and refused them all.
Suppose even that she expressed dis
like for matrimony. Surely evidence
should be admitted on these points.
And would it not be an adequate de-
Tense? Here the point arises, Why is
it not an offense to call man an ''old
bachelor ?"-New York Evening Sun.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

The northern slope of a hillside is
the best location for an apple orchard.
The pear will come as near bearing
a crop Of fruit every year as any other
kind of fruit.
If the currant worm makes it's ap-
pearance, dust the foliage while the
dew is on with white hellebore.
In transplanting plants from pots in
vert the pot and rap the bottom Of it
sharply, and the plant will come out.
An overloaded grapevine will not
mature it's fruit If it bears more
than it ought it will ripen it's fruit
late.
Air slaked lime sprinkled on rose
bushes when the dew is on will de-
stroy insects without injuring the
bushes.
Rose plants should have plenty Of
light and heat Nothing will blight
their buds sooner than shade and
moisture
Nearly all cultivated fruits are liable
to overbear. This is always injurious
and should be prevented. One Of the
best preventives is thinning.
One of the best places to use coal
ashes is around the base Of the fruit
trees. Put a mound of them around
each tree. Borers will not be SO apt to
trouble them.

WHEN BURGLARS CALL.
The Proper Thing to Do and the
Proper Way to Do 1t.


Proper Way to Do 1t.
events that are apparently trivial
in the daytime assume an immense i'm
portance in the dead Of night. A slight
noise, out of the ordinary, will some
times have its bearing on the married
lives of two people, says Tom Mason
in Life.
when, therefore, your wife wakes
you up with that intensely nervous
movement that indicates a broOding
horror do not lose your presence of
mind. Keep from shaking if possible,
and while secretly your heart may be
in your throat do not betray yourself.
Above all, do not wake up too soon.
Begin by grooming slightly, and roll
over. At the second pull on her part
it will be entirely proper for you to
start slightly, rub your eyes and NUT
ter any unintelligible sentence. Then,
as you gradually wake up and she be-
comes more persistent, you may allow
yourself to say, oh, nonsense!
Remember that up to this moment
the formula for a husband walked up
by his wife who hears noise is al
ways the same and should only be va
ried later Now, however, is the time
to act.
''Dash quickly from the bed and
either reach for your revolver, or if
that isn't handy take the first thing
that presents itself-fire tongs, curling
irons or a chair-and rush madly to the
door.
"If you have acted your part correct
~ and courageously you will find your
wife there before you, barring the en-
trance.
''By this time, if you have made noise
enough, the burglars, if there were
any, have without doubt departed, and
when you have persuaded your wife
that the thing must be done you can
search the house at your leisure and
ever afterward pose as a genuine hero
who was thwarted in his purpose at
tn critical moment"

Southern Fruit and
Vegetable Growing.

The fertile lands along the
Louisville & Nashville r. r. in
Alabama, West Florida and Missis-
s1ppi are veritable bonanzas for the
fruit grower and truck gardener.
One man sold from one single acre,
100 barrels of radishes for 100000,
gross; another patch of 4 acres
radishes yielded 81, 463.00, net. In
the spring of 1902, another truck
gardener sold 800 barrels of
potatoes in Pittsburgh from 3 acres
of ground for 81, 540, and after pay
ing all expenses, cleared $4,000,
or S297.22 per acre. Within two
weeks after selling his potatoes,
corn was up and watermelon vines
were running on the same land.
He harvested his corn, sold his
melous, and afterwards cut two
crops of hay off of the same land,
and on January 20, 1903, was plant
ing it again in potatoes. Straw
berries yield from $4,000 to $4,000
per acre; as high as 12,480 quarts
of luscious berries have been grown
on single acre. Address G. A.

An Impossibility.

Mrs. Leslie NJ. Shaw, the wife OF the
secretary q the treasury, has recently
given out In Washington a number of
amusing interviews about the made
quacy Of the salaries of cabinet Off
GERS. Mrs. Shaw was Miss Alice Craw-
shaw in her youth, and she has always
been noted among her friends for her
ready wit.
1t is said Of her that a young man
of humorous bent one day exclaimed
in her presence:
what would be more dreadful than
for a woman, after mending her hus-
bands coat, to find in one Of the peck
cts love letter from another WON
amp
Fortunately" said Mrs. Shaw,
''that could never happen. The WON
an would find the letter first, and then
she would not mend the coat."-Kan-

Fittod to Her Case.

Mrs. Van Worst, the author of ''The
Woman Who Tolls" hadmanyamusing
and odd adventures during her life as
a worker. One adventure that has
not heretofore been printed concerned
a taciturn man.
She met this man on New Eng
land road, mending worn fence.
"Can you tell me- she said, chow
far it is to the next town.?
He pointed forward. Milestone lit.
tie further on will tell you," he
grOwled.
Rudeness such as this vexed Mrs
Van Worst. But the milestone will
be no good to me, for 1 can't lead,
she said.
Thereupon the taciturn man chuckled
a little. "Ho, no. he said, ''it is just
the kind O. milestone for people that
can't read, for all the writins been
washed off of it."-Detroit News
