The Boys Lament.

 Why Is It Sundays the finest day For fun, the whole week long? Fishin an swimmin's best, someway- But l can't go; it's wrong! Bob Jones goes all the time, you bet, An he ain't afraid to swim, An he ain't been hurt or drownded yet An l wish that was him. We don't do nothln' but get up late; An 1 have to lay in bed Till breakfast time, nearly half-past
 eight.
 An after the Bibles read, Ma makes me bathe, an she slicks my
 hair,
 An I'm packed straight off to church An Sunday school-an' it seems no fair, When l might be catchin' perch. An after dinner we sit around-so- An l dassn't even talk Till pa has slept. an it's time to go For stupid Sunday walk. But onct Hal Reynolds, next door, an

Making Crystals.

Dissolve ordinary soda in a glass of water, putting in as much soda as the water will take up. Then ts com mon bean to a string and let 1t hang in the water so that 1t will be entirely submerged. The best way to do this is to tie the other end of the string to a piece of wire or something similar that can be laid across the top of the tum- bier.
 Before long a curious thing will hap pen to the bean. It begins to cover itself with tiny spines, until at last 1t looks like a tiny porcupine.
 The explanation is simple. The bean is very porus and soaks up lot of water, but the soda in the water can not enter the bean and stays outside.
 A funny thing can be shown by hanging some object that Is not porous alongside of the bean, such as a piece of glass. Long after the bean has dis appeared under its accumulation of soda crystals the bit of glass will re- main the same as 1t was.

DEAD STREETS IN EUROPE.
Thoroughfares in Many Cities Contain
 Rows of Deserted Houses.

Deserted towns were common out West in the days of the land boomer, but deserted streets are seldom re- corded in America, though they are fairly common abroad.
 Many of these are the result of liti- gauon, as in the case of block of seven houses in Versailles, where a lawsuit over an estate has left the property without tenants for eleven years. So warm has been the dispute that the interested parties cannot even agree upon caretaker, and the middle house, once occupied by the owner of the property, is filled with handsome furniture and effects which are slowly rotting because of lack of care.
 Bromberg, in Posen, contains two by a German who refuses to rent ex- cept to his own countrymen. His in- ability to secure other tenants than Poles has left the houses upon his hands for several years.
 Moscow has a row of seventeen handsome houses left without tenants because of two murders and suicide within a few months. The notoriety given the case drove out the tenants and no others have been found willing to take chances on the ghostly peram- bulations of the trio.
 In Charlottenburg. Berlin, eight houses are untenanted because their owner objected to the noise made by the tenants, while twenty houses in Odessa have never had tenant, their owner having run them up in such a hurry that the building authorities in. tervened and he was forced to flee to Constantinople.
 Buda- Pesth's dead street is row of twenty-three cottages, which no one will occupy. For some unexplained reason the death rate was four times the normal figures and no tenants can be obtained.

The Art of Dish washing.

A dish well scraped Is half washed Scrape and stack dishes carefully. When knives, forks or plates are greasy or fishy from the serving of Ash, wipe them off with pieces of paper which are easily burned. Keep the grease out of the pan and away from the dishcloth.
 Let the dishcloth be of linen If pos sible and always hemmed. An unhem- med wash cloth or wiper leaves the dishes covered with lint and particles of the frayed edges stop up the sink drain.
 Wash the silver first, using plenty of bot water and soap.
 Two pans are necessary to wash dishes properly-oC for the washing, tom of the rlnsing pan fit wooden strainer, two or three inches from the bottom of the pan, that the water turned over the dishes may drain through it and leave the dishes free of water. This saves dish towels. Use hot water for rinsing. Wash the glasses after the silver, and then the cups and saucers, plates, etc. When the dishes are washed, throw the water out Don't wash tinware or kettles in thick water. Have a separ- ate dishcloth for pans and another for kettles. Plenty of scraplng, plen- ty of water, plenty of soap, plenty of pans, plenty of towels and washers, make dish washing what 1t should be.

Wonderful Speed Made by Land Ships
With Safety.
Sailing on land is new diversion,
experimental with at different times
in the past, that has suddenly burst
into prominence No other summer
amusement conveyance of mans in
vention can make anything like the
speed of the land sailing vessel. It
skins over the ground with the actual
speed of the wind. It's only rival in
amusement conveyances of winter or
summer is the ice boat; but the land
sailing vessel furnishes much greater
enjoyment than the ice boat, for it's
path is not limited by the narrow con-
fines of an ice pond, and moreover, 1t
is a summer vehicle, made to sail in
the season when rapid open-air travel
ing is really enjoyable. So fast will
the land boat move if permitted to &c
at it's full speed during strong wind
that it's occupants would find it impos
sigle to retain their seats. Hence its
speed has to be checked and regulated
by the manipulation of brakes ant
sails. From fifty to ninety miles ar
hour, however, has often been attain
ed with safety when the precautior
was taken of seeing that the passen

Good Qualities Of Ben Davis Apples

Good Qualities Of Ben Davis Apples.
The Ben Davis apple requires long
season to reach it's proper develop
ment; that kind of season it finds
In Kentucky, where it originated. 1t
is not probable that the Ben Davis
apple as grown in Wisconsin will ever
be very popular, although it will be
long keeper. Another thing in favor
of the Ben Davis has been the fact
that the trees have been wonderfully
productive of fruit. 1t Is wonder In
the apple world because it produces
crop every year. Most varieties OF
apples produce good crop every 9TH
er year, but the Ben Davis produces
crop every year. That is why the
great commercial growers have been
planting out orchards when they had
to sell the fruit very much under the
price offered for some other varieties.
One man said: Il can make money
by selling the Ben Davis at 50 bar.
rel. The Ben Davis is my money
maker, even at a low price these yield
me a larger profit than any other var
iety can grow" We have, added to
/ this, the fact that the Ben Davis tree
4 is not subject very largely to the at
tacks of fungous diseases. Another
! great thing in favor of the Ben Davis
/ apple is one remarkable characteristic
! relative to bruises. When a Ben
Davis apple is bruised it forms hard,
dry, sponge-like crust and this does
not develop into rot. Most other ap.
pies when they are bruised begin i'm.
.mediately TO rot at the bruised places
The bruised Ben Davis apple merely
dries up at the point where it is bruis
ed, and no rot sets in.
The way that the Ben Davis apple
deteriorates in the latter part of the
winter is by becoming hard and of {
dry sponge-like texture near the core
; We believe that the Ben Davis apple Il
destined to be more extensively grown
even than at the present, and from
the Ben Davis apple many new varie
: ties are to be developed, which will
come to be known as the Ben Davi
l group of apples. We have the begin
ming of this in two apples already quit
] prominent, the Black Ben Davis an,
the Gano. The Gano has been devel
oped by selection from the Ben Davi
wood of certain quality. There is
4 dispute as to whether the Black Be-
y Davis was developed by selecting Be
Davis wood of certain quality or b
y planting the seeds from the Ben Davi
s. apple. But the two are SO similar tina
a no one can doubt that Black Be
n Davis belongs at least to the Be
e Davis family.-Farmers Review.
