A devoted mother seems to listen to
every call of duty excepting the su-
preme one that tells her to guard her
health, and before she realizes it some
arrangement of the female organs has
manifested itself, and nervousness and
irritability take the place of happi-
ness and amiability.

Pleasant for the Caller.

Admiral Evans at a dinner at Mar
ragansett said, apropos Of disappoint-
ment:
THE poor fellows feelings in this
misfortune must have resembled
those Of a young planter whom l knew
in my youth in Virginia.
THE young man was in love with
a girl of great beauty. She had many
suitors and to all of them she was
more partial than to my friend. But
he. though snubbed continually. re-
manned very faithful.
"One Sunday evening when he
called. the girls little brother admit
ted him. The youngster led him into
the parlor went upstairs to announce
his name and then, returning. said:
"'Sit down. Mr.. Sparker She will
see you In a few minutes
"Sparker said in a relieved and
CHEEKY voice:
"I am glad OF that. I was afraid
she might ask to be excused, as she
has done SO often before

Animals Have an lrrssIstIbls Liking
for the juicy Roots.


"Turnips taste better to a deer than
whisky does to an Indian, and the
animal will run as great risks to get
the vegetable as the red man will to
get the liquor" said Otto wilke OF
International Falls at st. Louis.
"I know men who make it their
annual custom to plant turnips in the
spring in some secluded spot in a
game country, just 80 they will be
assured Of easy venison in the fall, or
during the summer months, II they
happen to live in the woods them
selves.
"If turnip patch is located in any
district where there are deer, every
deer within that district will visit 1t
several times week. the time of day
they make their visits depending
upon the wariness of the animals and
the nearness of settlers.
Even after snow falls these visits
are continued. as long as any Of the
vegetables are left In the ground.
Until the snow gets too deep you can
see where it is paved away after
night in search after the succulent
roots.
Through the more sparsely settled
districts they are actually pests to the
homesteader who has a garden, for
nothing but an eight foot fence will
keep them from eating the growing
things and trampling the ground all
up, like flock of sheep. 1t does not
matter how near the vegetables are
to the house, the deer will get into
them just the same, the only differ
ence being that they will come around
later in the evening, when the dark
ness covers their movements. ."-Du-

When Mr.. and Mrs. Grant removed

PUSHING the Old Folk. Aside.

When the babies are cross and .
man would like quiet retreat there
is none for him. But in a few years.
when the children are grown and he
is in the way. the daughters and
mother put their heads together and
originate a den. There is no den for
the mother because she gracefully
eliminates herself by sitting in the
kitchen or running over to a neigh
boris. 1t is her natural disposition to
hide in a corner or remove herself en-
tirely. and it is not the natural dispo-
sition of the father. Hence the den.
It has couch and some pipes and to-
bacco and the books which the neigh
bors haven't got around to borrowing
as yet, though if father begins a story
to-day the book will be found to be
loaned out when he wants to finish 1t
tomorrow. The den is fashionable
way of pushing the old man out. II

GAS TO TAKE PLACE OF COAL
Seems Likely to Come Into General
Use on Shipboard.

Seems Likely to Come Into General
Use on shipboard.
If vessel propelled by steam
power is called a steamer" should
a vessel in which the motive power is
gas be called a "gasser"? The query
is prompted by the possibility that in
the not far distant future marine pro-
pulsion will be largely effected by
means Of explosion engines. whose
fuel will be gas generated on board.
For stationary purposes plants Of this
description have already been erected
on large scale, and more than one
firm of engineers is said to be en-
gagged In perfecting combined plant
consisting of engine and gas generator
which shall be lighter and occupy less
space than the present combination
OF steam boilers and engine. power
Tor power. The gas used Is known
as producer gas, and Is to all intents
and purposes steam or water vapor
passed through incandescent coke In
4 special form of furnace. The re-
sultant gas is a combination Of carbon
monoxide. hydrogen and nitrogen.
Utilizing the fuel in this manner Is
claimed to effect a very appreclable
economy as compared with burning 1t
under boiler to generate steam. In
deed 1t has been estimated that one
pound of fuel will thus go as far As
three pounds in the latter method.
This on long voyage not only means
the reduction of the coal bill, but also
a corresponding increase in cargo
space or passenger accommodation.
1t therefore behooves steamship COM
panies to pause before adopting the
steam turbine in a wholesale manner.
