Artich0keS as Swine Food.

without doubt most healthful food
We allow the pigs to dig them them

they prevent hog cholera, but do
believe they would have tendency

which pigs are subject. The exercise
they receive In seeking for the arti'
chokes lie In itself healthful for them.
The pigs grow rapidly when fed up

produce lean meat. would not con-

alone, but they should be fed In con-
junction with a moderate grain ra-
tion. One great advantage with ar
tichokes Is that they can be fed In the
spring of the year; at season OF the
year when other vegetable food Is not
available. The winter frost does not
injure the tubers when lett In the
ground. In suitable soil they will
give very large crop running from
600 to I, 900 bushels per acre. The
system of cultivation have followed

The Bowling Green Time Journal
gives this account of poorhouse In
mate:
The Oldest person in the State, pos
sibly In the world, to-day Is Rena
Hatcher. an old colored woman out
on the county farm in Hart county.
She was born in July, 1916, in Green
county, near Jonesboro, Ky. She re-
members Henry Clay to whom she
claims to have cooked many a meal,
and all the notables OF that day and
time. She Is 1913 years of age, In
good health, can walk from place to
place on the farm. has full possession
OF her faculties, hearing and seeing
all that goes on around her, and en-
joying life with a most surprising
zest. She Is possessed OF all the
superstitions and falfacies of her race,
believing In witches and knowing
that she is the victim OF other old
ladies In the poor house. whose incsr-
nations are now affecting her.

EDUCATE A WIFE
In Business and Household Duties
to Make a Happy Home.

am strongly of the opinion that
woman need to be taught their business.
We have heard with a persistent reit-
Grafton that home is woman's place.
l believe 1t with all my heart; but the
business of the house is the last thing
that she is usually taught.
What does it involve?
First, some sort OF knowledge OF
commercial life. the power OF buying
and selling, OF keeping accurate and
orderly accounts, of understanding
how to govern and superintend SER
wants; and much superintendent eau
never be undertaken save by one who
understands what her work should be
and how 1t should be done.
In these times when 1t Is difficult
In England and In Americs to acquire
good servants, this seems to me to be
essentially the business of the woman
who makes her home her first care.
Again, there is another very impor-
tant side to the business ola woman S
lite, and that Is the art of whole some
appetiz,ng cookery.
suppose we have In mind when
ever we think of this subject many
instances of home that have been
practically ruined on account OF the
utter carelessnesS which woman snow
for this special department of the
homekeeper.
Men suffer, chiliren suffer, the
household suffers, and 1t is generally
mainly due to the fact that when girl
marries she has not the remotest idea
how an omelet Is made or a outlet
cooked.
A lew daiuties turned out OF chat
Ing dash worm. probably her entire
knowledge of the culinary art and in
consequence OF this great omission In
women's eduction, both In England
and In America, the custom Is OBJ
tanning of living In a hotel instead of
making a home.
From every point of view l depre.
cate the habit. l grieve to see all
over this country the immense palace
hotels opening everywhere. l think
1t sets a wrong standard of existence.

A HAPPY PEOPLE.
They Have no Newspapers. no
Money and no Laws.

London, May 1.-THE seventv-sev-
en- inhabitants OF the lonely Island of
Tristan d'Achura, half way from
Cape horn to the Cape of Good Hope,
will not be trausposed bodily to the
South Africa mainland, as was re-
Gently contemplated.
This remarkable settlement is chief
ly composed OF the descendants Of
Corporal William Glass, who begged
to be allowed to remain on the Island
when It was evacuated by the British
some eighty years ago.
In a report just issued by Mr.. Ham,
mond Tooke, who was sent to take
the opinion of the inhabitants as to
the aba udoment of the island and. It's
annexation to the Cape, 1t is stated
that the whole seventy seven rejected
the liberal proposals OF the Cape gov
eminent for their settlements In tina.
colony. They feared the unfamiliar
ways of life with such they would be
faced
Mr.. Tooke states that they have de-
veloped slow and unready habits, un-
fitting them for lite In large COM
munity. They live an honest, sober
and peaceful existence, free from vice
OF crime, scoring chicanery or double
dealing.
There is no money, for there is
nothing to buy, no newspapers, for
there is nothing to record no posts,
no shops, no churches, no sch coils, no
laws"
The settlement has no recognized
head very man acting as he thinks
best. Their intelligence is bright and
their physique wonderful, in spite Of
inter breeding.
They have lost the sense of time
and distance, and their sole anxiety
is to protect themselves from the
swarms of rats which infest the
island. They are happy, Is the writ
er's conclusion, and should be left In
their fortunate isolution.

Sugar From Watermel0nS.

Sugar is being made from water
melons In York county, Virginia, says
an exchange. The operations are
simple Involving little skill and only
a fair amount of horse sense. AS a
rule the ripest and best melons are
selected tor the purpose. The prime
necessities are large caldron and a
slow but steady fire. Before lighting
the furnace the kettles Is filled with
fruit, care being taken to save all
the juice, 80 as not to require the ad-
dition OF water to star the boil. Some
persons use the entire melon, chop
ped up; and some use the pulp only,
and others nothing but the rind. A

gentle fire should soon heat the con-
tents of the pot to the boiling point,
which Is kept up until the syrup is
produced. The longer 1t Is cooked
thicker and darker will the result be.
1t takes an enormous quantity OF
melons to produce even an ordinary
amount of syrup, and when stewed
thick the ratio used Is increased.

MUTILATED BODY
Of a Missing Child is Found in
Chimney of Parents
Home.

New York, May 10 Wrapped in
rags. the body of Josephine McCahill.
who disapp, ared from her home May
and who, it had been thought, was
litrapped, was found this evening in
the chimney OF the building where
her parents live.
Her disappearance had created
great excitement in the neig hborhood.
and many have been the rumors con-
corning the cause.
SO general had been the interest
that various we'll known men had Of
fered to subscribe a fund to be offered
as reward OF rs ransom, If II
should be discovered that she was
kidnapped.
Plans had been made 10 hold mass
meeting in Terrace Hall to urge the
necessity for some satisfactory ar.
engagements to prosecute the search
tor the missing girl.
The b ,dy was lodged near the top
OF the chimney, and it was necessary
to tear away some OF the masonry to
release IT, 1t Is thought that the
body, which Was badly mutilated, was
placed there within day or two.
So great was the crowd that gath
cred about the house when the news
of the grewsome find spread that
reserves from the East Io4th Street
Police Station were hurried to the
scene In patrol wagon to preserve
order.

THE Mckinley AND DING
LEY LAWS.
The Existing Tariff Act the Most
Successful and Scientific
Tariff Law Ever
Enacted.

from Francis Curtiss History OF the Republic
Party.l
1t has been the contention OF Re-
publican leaders that the financial
and industrial depression of the years
from 1898 to 1897 were due to the
German Wilson Tariff and not to the
character and volume of our money.
Although Mr.. Mckinley and the
members OF the Fity.hfth Congress
received many Democratic votes,
which votes were given because of the
Republican party's attitude on the
money question, yet Mr.. Mckinley
and his advisers we'll knew that 1t
was the Tariff and not money that
needed the first attention. The con-
fdence In business circles which was
restored at once after the election OF
1896, when 1t was known that the
Republican party would again be
In power In all branches OF the Gov
eminent, was increased as soon as
Protective measure was framed and
reported, and when the measure It
self became a law the wisdom OF Its
trainers was seen at once in Its sue
cessful operation; and the prosperity
which it brought to the country has
continued undated, so far as the In
fuenced of the law itself Is concerned,
from Its enactment till'the publication
OF this work.
Mr.. Mckinley was hailed during
the campaign OF 1896 as the advance
Agent of Prosperity" The term was
used triumphantly by the Republic
ans, sneeringly by the Democrats,
but the prediction was none the less
true, and In but few weeks, or at
most a few months, after the inau-
gurating of the President and the en-
actment and operation of Protective
Tariff 1t was on all sides acknowl-
edged that Protection was better than
Free-Trade.
Although the Dingley law was, COM
paratively speaking, hastily prepar.
ed, quickly debated, and speedily
passed, yet 1t has been without doubt
the most perfect and the most scien-
tific as we'll as the most successful
Tariff law ever placed upon our sta
tue books. The Mckinley law was,
under the conditions OF the time,
most excellent Tariff measure, but
before 1t was thoroughly tried 1t was
severely condemned. Although, In
spite of the condemption manifested
at the polls, at the Congressional cleo
tons of 1899, and the Presidential and
Congressional elections of 1892, be-
fore the act was repealed 1t had prov
ed conclusively that it was a most
wise measure and a successful law in
all respects. The Dingley law has
now been in operation nearly seven
years, and may we'll stand as the best
example we have ever had OF Protec-
tive legislation. Under 1t all sections
of the country and all industries have
thrived as never before In our history
Prosperity has come to all classes OF
people such as never was before
known In this or any other country.
Our farmers particularly have been
benefited by the operation OF the law,
and not only have they paid of the
mortgages, which were made a spe-
cial issue by Democratic orators and
editors a decade ago, but they are
now lending money to Eastern capt.
talists through the Western banks,
which have no longer have to call for
money each fall to move the crops.
