Many farmers report their stand of
corn as being very good. Quite a

but now he made a last fierce ef-
fort at self-preservation. He tore al

not feel those devlish fingers, and
staggered, struggling as with an
enemy, to the door and out into the
passage. AS he passed the Intel
the fingers left their hold, and he saw
and drew breath again.
Such is the story which this very
sane, cominonsense person, who is a
most temperate liver, told to me
few nights ago. 8.
The sequel is not 1iflifiteresting.
The next morning tie ladies left
the house. He met them as they
drove to the station. They were in
great agitation, the daughter stating
that she had nearly been strangled in
the night.
He also discovered that the house
had for some time been used as a
temporary hospital, and that two of
the sick who had been placed in the
dining room had screamed for help
during the night, imploring their at
tendants to take them away, as some
one had tried to choke them
Lastly, from local inquiries, the
Captain learned that the amiable
gentleman whose portrait had
brought him SO strange an expert

after strangling his youngest daugh-
ter in the dining room. Won Holtz
was his name, and the legend of the
tragedy is still whispered in the dis

rarely refers. But if you ask him

After that she smiled sunnily when
ever she met him. He smiled genial
ly. The widow daily became more
lonesome and more convinced that she
had discarded a congenial spirit.
"He won't propose again in kun

"and no wonder, he don't want to
risk another snub. He did tell me
to let him know if I changed my
mind. I hate to like fun, but"
One golden afternoon when both
were sitting in an unusually pensive
mood upon Mrs. Bittersweet's porch
the widows heart suddenly prompted
her to little prospecting.

WOMEN MAKE THE PAPER MONEY.

The Government and the banks,
and even the postofices, would be in
a hole for a time if all the women in
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing should drop dead all at once.
That shop would have to close up
pretty quick. Why, you can't even
60 over there and look around with
out woman to show you. All the
guides to the Bureau for the benefit
of tourists and other ignorant people
which includes all Washington peo-
pie, for Washington people are the
most ignorant people on earth about
Washington institutions-all the
guides, and there are seven of them,
are women, young women and pretty
women at that.
And how the people do visit there |
Three thousand a week, said a
guide. That's 500 a day. And
ihget getihS0 NOD oftHl;puAate fof every MQEkss
stream of callers that.
Not so many years ago three de-
crepit old men were the guides. Now
the seven are women, which is signif-
cant, and one that typifes the work
done in the Bureau, for here, of the
5000 employees, more than half are
of the feminine persuasion.
These young and good looking
guides will explain how American
money is printed on the back, then
put in cold storage, where it goes
through drying process; then sort
ed and the imperfect sheets thrown
out then printed on the face, and
then perforated and put up in packages
to be sent to the Treasury for the
Government seal.
They generally tell how useless it
would be for any one to try to rob the
wagon containing this money. In
the first place, because six guards al
ways accompany it and, in the Sec
ond place, because the money at this
stage of its manufacture wouldn't be
any good, anyway.
''It is seven days after bill is
printed on its back before it is print
ed on the face" said this visitors s
guide. cit takes thirty days to make
silver dollar bill, and forty to make
gold one. The gold one is printed
three times, twice on one side, because
it has to have the word gold and a
little splotch of gold on this side be-
fore the face can be printed" f"
Then she led the visitor to the
framed dollar bills fastened to one of
the walls in the hall, and showed
these bills, calling special attention to
the gold certificate, and then led the
way back to the front door and said
adieu. 1t was all over in ten minutes.

WEAR YOUR RINGS AT NIGHT.

Women are not wearing rings as
they did several years ago." said a
well known gem expert when asked
if rings are no longer stylish. 'sThey
buy more rings than ever before, but
they use them only for full dress.
"Why, as recently as FIVE years
ago the sex had craze for making
pawnshop displays on their hands and
wore rings morning, noon and night,
anywhere and everywhere. Even
women in the deepest mourning did
not discard their rings.
"But it is not so now. The matron
is content with wearing her wedding
ring, even putting aside her engage
ment ring, while her single sister, if
she wears even one ring, usually
adopts a plain dull gold seal ring
adorned with her coat of arms or
somebody else's.
Rings are brought out with the
stars, but it is now considered quite
vulgar to burden the hands with them
in the daylight.

TO KEEP YOUNG.

What is old age, anyway? Sci
entists tell us it is kind of atrophy
of the tissues and organs connected
with the changes in the blood yes
sells. To counteract this tendency
we must supply the tissues and or
gans with healthy blood. Life, there
fore, depends to a great extent upon
our ability to keep the circulatory
system in healthy condition. The
best methods of doing this may be
briefly summarized as follows:
Take plenty of exercise in the
outdoor air-preferably in the coun-
try, away from the city, says What
to Eat.
The best exercise is a long walk
in the country, and the benefit OF
such a walk is increased if only a
very small quantity of fluid and food
be taken during the walk. A good
lunch for such a walk is sandwich
and an orange.
This walk in the open air not only
enriches the blood with oxygen, but
it strengthens the skin and nervous
system, and through this the diges-
tive system.
Great moderation in the amount
of food, and especially of flesh food
should be practised, particularly by
old people. There is no longer any
doubt that moderate meat eating
after the meridian of life" is reach
ed is conducive to longevity.
Drink distilled water apd plenty
of it after the age of forty years is
reached. Most water is too "hard''
for drinking purposes. The lime
and other alkalies and salts in it
tend to harden the arteries and tis-
sues, and that means "old age"
Moreover, "soft" or distilled water
is a dissolvent and tends to absorb
the poisons and gases in the body.

Turkeys are very profitable, and
not as much trouble as is usually
supposed. A number Of women of
the writer's acquaintance are making
nice little incomes from the turkey
business. 1t is indeed, worth our
giving the question some considera-
ton, when we can sell eggs for rs
cents each, and turkeys from So to
SIS apiece, and sometimes higher.
Almost anybody can raise turkeys
by being particular with them dur
ing the first few weeks of their lives.
The little turkeys are very delicate
when hatched and must be given
good care and close attention. They
must be provided dry quarters and
not allowed to be out in heavy show
ers until they are well covered with
feathers. If they become wet they
should be placed Immediately in
warm place to dry, or they may die
from chill. During the warm part
of the day they may be given an out.
ing on short grass or in the garden.
But for the first few weeks they
should not be allowed to run through
tall, wet grass.
1t is very good plan to keep the
hen and baby turkeys in large airy
coop, and the coop should be fre-
quently moved so they can be brood
ed on fresh grass. They require
about the same food as young chick
ems. The food should be soft and
easily digested, but should never be
in sloppy or very moist condition.
Corn bread or coarse bread baked
and softened in milk is highly priced.
Thick, sour milk may be mixed with
soft foods to good advantage. Hard
boiled eggs, chopped fine, is a food
highly recommended, if fed in mod
Grafton in connection with other soft
foods. Stale bread of any kind dip
ped in milk and allowed to drain
until it becomes dry enough to crun-
bic is an excellent food; can not be
surpassed as first food. This can
be fed for several days. AS they be-
come older they may be fed bran
and meal, which should be thorough
ly softened by soaking or scalding.
When the feathering out time ar
rives they can be given some crack
ed corn, which is improved by being
soaked. Later on whole corn may
be fed.
Black or red pepper and ginger in
the food or drinking water is of
great value on cold or damp days
and will aid in overcoming chills and
will serve as prevention of bowel
trouble in both old and young tur-
keys.
Turkeys usually begin to lay in
March. Nests should be provided in
quiet places near the house that will
be safe from animals. They like Sc
cluded nests and will frequently steal
away and hide their eggs. When
stolen nest is found the eggs should
be carefully removed. and china eggs
substituted. Turkeys lay from twen-
toffg offg fnffaqEdtszn f6sgf iagdh saqRgsstiafyS ags ay
be placed under a turkey hen and
she will brood this number nicely,
and can take care of all the young
brought out by hens. The period
of incubation is four weeks, though
it sometimes extends much longer
because of cold weather or absence
from the nest allowing the eggs to
become cold.
The better blood turkeys will
bring choice prices. Many farmers
lose dollars in saving cents by re-
fusing to procure eggs of new and
improved breeds.
