Lare Cook for Capt. Grimes, of the
Ship SaragoSsa.

Native mariners all knew. and
strangers quickly learned, that the late
Capt. Grimes. of the ship Saragossa
was a man noted for his gourmanderie
Any cook who could please the palate
of Capt. Grimes must be a master OF
his art, and a glance at the sign would
prepare the marine palate for tooth
some dish, no matter what he ordered.
"Ah, me-" sighed Sincere, as she
gazed vacuously at the water, Il wish
/ could do something besides cook. If
/ could play the pianner or sing it'd
be different, but can't do nothing but
cook. All, me-"
Freckled as to face, with a tint OF
pink on the end of her nose, and honey
as to form, Sincere had had her little
romance. Her father had one day
hired an assistant, man Of remark

eyes. of wonderful beauty. No man

pomatum. No man living, she be.
lieved, had such a taste in neckties,
and surely none had such small and
shapely feet. At the sight of them she
felt ashamed of her own sturdy mem
bers.
1t was not surprising that Sincere's
heart should capitulate at once to such
a superior creature, and she would gaze
at him, preparing some dish, absorbed
at the grace of his movements. He
had way Of going about the making
of an omelet that would have enslaved
a Venus If she had had the privilege
of being in the kitchen with him.
There were times when Sincere fan
cied that the eyes of Alonzo Whiting
looked tenderly on her from amid the
unctuous steam Of cooking, and surely
he had squeezed her hand when she
had handed him the pepper.
1t was an evil day for Alonzo and for
Sincere when a man and woman en-
tered the eating house. She was a
stout lady with a highly colored face
and loud. penetrating voice.
Sincere eyed her coldly and there
was no welcome in her tones when she
asked as to their wants.

Then emerged from the kitchen the
caricature Of Alonzo Whiting. His
hair, rebellious of pomatum. struggled
about his head. He shufTled in his
patent leather shoes. and his necktie
looked dull and faded.
"Heliza," he gasped.
"Your Heliza." repeated the lady,
affectionately. "Oh, Halonzo, 'ow could

BOOSTS FOR THE TURKEYS
They Should Be Located on the South
Side of Barn or Other Farm
Building.

T. F. McGrew, writing in bulletin
of the United States department of ag-
riculture, says: Turkeys do best when
they can rest in the open. If well fed
they will thrive more in the shelter of
trees than in close confined house. The
troubles that arise from allowing them
to live in the trees are that they become
wild and frequently are stolen. If
housed, their quarters should be airy,
roomy and perfectly clean. It is not

help in this case is shown in the &C

2x4 scantlings are bolted at top and
placed above bowlder as shown. Chains

PRETTY EGG SHELL GARDEN
Easy Experiment in Artistic
Home Decoration.

1t is easy to have an egg-shell gar
den. Carefully cut off the end of the
egg for about one-third of its length,
treating it with more respect than the
cook does. for she breaks it in two
in the middle by cracking it on the
edge of the cup. Fill the shell with
good earth, and plant almost any seed
that you like. If plant food supplied
in tablets is used, the shells may be
filled with sawdust or with gravel.

Skim.Milk for the Fowls

The more skimmilk the fowls uss
the better. In spite Of all that has been
said in favor Of this kind Of food a
good many farmers give all the skim
milk they have to the pigs and let the
fowls subsist on grain alone Often
the pigs have more than they can eat.
and in such case large part OF the
milk is wasted. Fowls make such good
use of milk as a partial ration that its
feeding should not be neglected.

Turkeys Destroy Many Insects.

The turkey is an active forager and
will consume hundreds Of insects dur
ing each day. The guinea Is another
very Industrious worker that performs
great service. The hen, also, is an &C.
tive insect destroyer and when at lib
erty she fully compensates her owner
for all the case given. If the number
of insects destroyed daily by the fowls
on the farms could be estimated, it ie
possible that many would be surprised.
Such benefits should be credited to the
fowls as valuable adjuncts to farming.

Green Mustard for Poultry,

When you are pulling up that mus

the chickens in the yard are very fond
of it. They will eat large quantities
of it with the keenest kind of relish
and it is said by some that chickens
fed on green mustard as a part Of the

from disease. Mustard Is stimulant
as well as tonic to the inner mucous

BODY A POISON FACTORY.
When the Stomach Is Crippled the
Whole System Becomes
Perverted.

The body is a factory of pOisons.
If these pOisOns, which are con
stantly being produced in large
quantities in the body, are imper-
fectly removed or are produced in
too great quantity as the result Of
overlooking, the fluids which sur
round the brain cells and all the
living tissues are contaminated
with poisonous substances which
asphyxiate and paralyze the cells,
and so interfere with their activ-
ity. This fact explains, in part at
least, the stupidity which is a COM
mon after-dinner experience with
many persons, says London Family
Doctor.
When food is retained in the
stomach beyond the normal time,
either because Of its indigestibil-
lty, the taxing or TOO large a guam
tity of it, or a crippled state of the
stomach, these changes are certain
to take place. This fact explains a
very large share Of the myriad
symptoms which af1ict the chronic
dyspeptic. The giddiness, the
tingling sensations, the confusion
of thought, and even partial in,
s%ensibility, which are not infre-
uently observed a few hours after
meals in chronic dyspeptics, are
due to this cause. Here is the ex-
PLANTATION of the Feasibility, the
dependency, the pessimism, the
indecisiOn, and various other
forms of mental perversity and
even moral ~deprayity, which are
not infrequently associated with
certain forms of gastrO-intestinal
disturbances.

EIGHT MILES HIGH
Peculiarities Of Great Masses When
Gathering Forces for a
Thunderstorm.

A great cumulous thunderhead
cloud, towering up on the horizon
like a huge famboyant iceberg, is
often higher than the highest Alps
would be if they were piled on toy
Of the Himalayas.
1t is not unusual for these
clouds to measure five, six, and
even eight miles from their fiat,
dark base, lowering a mile or two
above the world, to their rounded.
glistening summit, splendid in the
sunlight. And in these eight miles
the changes of temperature are as
great as those over many thou.
sand miles of the earth's surface.
These clouds contain strata of
temperature, narrow belts of
freezing cold alternating with
large distances of rainy mist and
frozen snow and ice particles.
H%ailstones, which are formed
from a snow particle that falls
from the upper strata and is frozen
hard in the freezing belt and coat.
ed with added ice on the wet belt,
are often found with a series of
layers in their formation, showing
thatthey have passed through this
succession of cloud strata more
than once on their way from the
upper air to the earth.

HE WAS GLAD OF ANY SORT
White Mountain Philosopher Who
Was Not Psrticulc as
to Weather.

My summer vacation was plan
ned to take in the ascent of a high
peak in the White mountains with
a city friend, a gentleman who had
not had the advantage of noun
tain climbing, writes THE Saun-
terer,' in the Boston Budget. We
planned to make part of the ascent
the day before, resting at an old
farmhouse part way up the noun
tain, relieving us of two or three
miles of climbing the following
day. The furniture of the farm
house was primitive, the fare some
what simple, consisting of ham
and eggs and a cup of chickory,
with some cream-Of.tarta biscuit.
AS we retired for the night we
hoped for a pleasant day in the
morning, as our view depended
upon the absence of clouds.
Our host was a philosopher, of
unshaven face and quaint appear
ance, and spent much of his time
on the door stoop, which consisted
of an immense fiat stone, upon
which he rested his feet while he
smoked the pipe of peace.
Our slumbers ended early in the
morning, and after dressing we
Immediately attempted to predict
the weather. Chatting at the prev
alence of heavy fog and clouds run
ming so low as to prevent any view
should we climb the mountain, we
impatiently found fault with the
weather, and gave vent to some
unkind remarks about the peryad-
ing dampness and fog.
Thereupon the old philosopher
approached me, and laying his
mammoth hand upon my shoulder,
remarked, "Young man, it is fool
ish for you to find fault with the
weather. You ought to be more
grateful for the blessings you
have. Az for myself, when | wake
in the morning thank God that
there is any weather at ALL"

THE STURDY LITTLE JAP.
Although Small in Stature he Gives
the Impression Of Being
Very Hardy.

Little! The idea that Japan is
a land of little people is at the best
a half-truth, and therefore dOubly
misleading. The average Jap we
see in Europe gives no fair idea of
the physique of his people. He
nearly always belongs to the pro-
fessional classes. Now, the profes-
sional and prosperous Jap is, one
must admit, as a rule small and of
apparently little stamina. He
gives one the same impression as
does the Paris bOulevardier of hav-
ing frittered away his manhood on
worthless things. But he no more
represents the average man of his
people than does the bOulevardier
represent the French peasant,
says the London Mail.
The average japanese man,
while not tall, gives one the i'm
preston of being probably the
hardest man on earth. He lives
p%erpetually in the open air and on
the simplest food. His home con.
sists of paper screens, which never
shut out the air wholly, and are
always open a great part of the
day.
He is hardy because he has been
Injured to the most extreme dis.
comfort since infancy. He does

home has practically no furniture.
Mating, bedding mo bed and a

a coal fire, but warns himself over
a box holding a few fragments of
burning charcoal.
