Keeping ones Temper.

One of the most difficult things to
do in the world sometimes is to keep
ones temper. A calm serenity OF tenn
per and self-control which keeps a
person unruf1ed amid the petty an
noyances and lies of everyday life in
dictate the possession of perfect mental
health. Nowadays people are very
fond OF saying so-and-so was Just
mad. - meaning very angry; but it
would be well if temper were more
often seriously regarded as madness.
1t may be preventable madness, but
madness it is while it lasts, and there
is seldom any one who is made more
unhappy by it than the person who
gives way to it. In our treatment of
the ill-tempered the cultivation of the
art Of not hearing will be very
helpful. 1t is a useful art all through
life.

Garden 'sYeast. !"

And as wonders never cease, says a
writer in The Garden Magazine, the
scientists have now captured the bac-
terra that attract or urge the plants
to draw the nitrogen from the air
through the leaf and stalk into the
root system, and thus supply fertilizer
that one would otherwise have to pay
highly for to make the garden vege-
tables grow. The bacteria trainer
cultivates, tames or grows these small
creatures, dries them in small, hard
cakes, gives them to us to inoculate Or
vaccinate the seed or land, so that
these plants will draw more nitrogent
into the soil than they normally do.
The government Agricultural depart
ment gives us yeast CAKES, as we
call them, so there is no outgo but
a postage stamps value and the re-
turns are great indeed.

oriqin of the MonocIe.

The proposal to permit the use of
spectacles to British soldiers is re
hinder that from their prohibition
came the monocle. About a century
ago an army order was issued for
bidding officers to wear eyeglasses or
spectacles. But a short-sighted Of
ficer belonging to a crack regiment
had no mind to resign his commits
sion or stumble blindly, and he in
vented the single eyeglass. When
called to account by the authorities
he claimed that the monocle, being
of the singular number, did not con-
travene the order against spectacles
and glasses in the plural. Red tape
accepted this literal rendering of the
law, and, becoming popular in the
British army the monocle was adopt
ed by civilian beans.

In Russia NIhiIlsm Again Raises ITS
Dreadful Head.
BODY BLOWN TO FRAGMENTS.
Every Window in the Palace of Jus
tice Was Shattered and Bits of
iron Were Imbedded DeenIv in the
Walls of the Arsenal.

Moscow, Feb. 20. = Within the
walls of the far-famed Kremlin Pal
ace, and almost underneath the his
torical tower from which Ivan the
Terrible watched the heads of his
enemies falling beneath the axe on
the famous Red Square, and within
a stones throw of the great bell of
Moscow, Grand Duke Sergius. uncle
and brother-in-law of Emperor Mich
olas, and the chief of the reaction
aries, met a terrible death shortly be-
fore 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The deed was committed by sin
gle terrorist, who threw beneath the
carriage of the Grand Duke a bomb
charged with the same high power
explosive which wrought Minister
Won Plehye's death. The missile was
packed with nails and fragments of
iron, and its explosion tore the i'm
perial victims body to CHASTITY frag-
ments which strewed the snow far
yards around. Every window in the
great lofty facade of the Palace of
Justice was shattered and bits of iron
the arsenal, a hundred yards away.
The assassin belongs to the noted
fighting group of the Socialist Revo-
lutionary party, which has removed
other prominent officials and long
since passed sentence of death upon
Grand Duke Sergius. The Grand Duke
knew that he stood in the shadow

repeated warnings, and elaborate
precautions were taken to ensure his
safety, but all the sources of the gen
darmerie and soldiers proved I'M
availing against an attempt almost
exactly duplicating the procedure
that caused the death of Minister OF
the Interior Won P1ehve last July.
1t was the irony of fate that Ser
gius, after taking refuge in his coun-
try villa during the strike troubles
of a month ago, and later seeking
even more secure shelter in the pal
ace within the Kremlin walls, should
be killed while proceeding to the gov
ernor generals palace beyond the
walls, and which he had abandoned
to enable the police to better pro-
tect him. Grand Duchess Elizabeth,
who has been daily engaged in the
task of preparing comforts for the
sick and wounded Russian soldiers
in Manchuria, was about to drive to
the palace to join her husband, when
she heard what had befallen the
Grand Duke. She was driven in haste
to the scene of the tragedy and
knelt, hatless and coatless, on the
blood-stained snow and murmured
prayers for the welfare of the soul
of her slain consort

''The Road to MELVILLE" Pointed the
Way.

''The Road to WeIIviIie'' Pointed the
Way.
Down at Hot Springs, Ark, the Wis
itors have all sorts of complaints, but
it is a subject of remark that the great
majority of them have some trouble
with stomach and bowels. This may
be partly attributed to the heavy med
icines.
Naturally, under the conditions, the
question of food is very prominent.
A young man states that he had suf-
fered for nine years from stomach
and bowel trouble, had two operations
which did not cure, and was at last
threatened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheu-
matism and his stomach trouble got
worse. One day at breakfast the
waiter, knowing his condition, sug-
gested he try Grape-Nuts and cream,
which he did, and found the food
agreed with him perfectly.
After the second day he began to
sleep peacefully at night, different
than he had for years. The perfect di-
gestion of the food quoted his nerv-
Gus system and made sleep possible.
He says: THE next morning was
astonished to find my condition of con-
stipation had disappeared. 1 could not
believe it true after suffering for SO
many years; then / took more interest
in the food, read the little book The
Road to MELVILLE and started follow
ing the simple directions.
Il have met with such results that
in the last five weeks I have gained
eight pounds in spite of hot baths
which take away the flesh from any
one.

cured OF bad case of indigestion and

The Importance that Attaches to the Care

which is the admiration of all who know
her. Asked if she could make any sug-
gestions that would be helpful to others
less fortunate, she said:
my complexion would not have
pleased you. if you had seen it two years
ago. It was then about as bad as it
could be, and it gave me a great deal of
dissatisfaction. If you want good
complexion you must take care of your
health, especially of the condition of
your blood. Ny health was at that time
completely broken down. I was nervous,

and great deal of pain in that region.

1t may be unusual to estimate the
amount of pork that can be produced
from an acre of certain crops, but the
problem has been solved in very
interesting way. 1t is claimed that an
acre of land in clover will produce
500 pounds of pork; peas, 375 pounds;
corn, $50 pounds; oats, 800 pounds;
barley, 42O pounds, and wheat, 225
pounds The value of each crop on
one acre when converted into pork is
as follows: Glover, $32: oats, $22.40;
peas, SIS; barley, s16.SO; oats, 1920,
and wheat, 50, estimating the pork at
four cents per pound. OF course some
thing depends On the prices ruling for
the crops The amount of produce per
acre required to give the pork men
toned ON an acre is 900 pounds of

$4,000 pounds of peas, and 10000
