Beginning a Garden.

So many things need doing this
month that the one who is going to
have a fine garden must hustle. Seeds
will be sown in the open ground, seed
ings transplanted, old pot plants bed
ded out, and many other things done.
The very first requisite for success
is a we'll prepared soil, and that means
one deeply worked, finely pulverized
and we'll enriched. Do not expect sue
cess if the soil is worked but two or
three inches in depth and the roots
compelled to force their way through
hsrd-pan below that. The plant must
be able to send it's roots down into
the soil easily and quickly if %luxuriant
foliage and perfect blossoms are to be
secured.
Sometimes, after all possible care
has been taken in preparing the soil
and sowing the seed, a heavy rain will
cause a crust to form over the surface,
through which the tiny plants cannot
break. To avoid this it is wise to scat
ter a light mulch over the seed bed
fine grass clippings, leaves, or anything
which will offer no resistance to the
plants. A heavy rain may wash trans
planted seedlings loose from the soil,
If not entirely out of it, and this, too,
must be watched for and the damage
at once repaired.-National Magazine.

GREAT CHANGE
From Change In Food.

The brain depends much more on the
stomach than we are apt to suppose un-
It'll we take thought in the matter.
Feed the stomach On proper food easy
to digest and containing the proper
amount Of phosphates and the healthy
brain will respond to all demands. A
notp BILE housewife in Buffalo writes:
1.-The doctor diagnosed my trouble as
a nervous affection Of the stomach l
was actually so nervous that / could
not sit still for five minutes to read the
newspaper, and to attend to my house
hold duties was simply impossible. 1
doctored all the time with remedies,
but medicine did no good.
"My physician put ne on sill sorts OF
diet, and 1 tried many kinds Of cereal
foods, but none of them agreed with
me. 1 was almost discouraged, and
when I tried Grape-Nuts I did so with
many misgivings-I had nc faith that 1t
would succeed where everything else
had failed.
"But it did succeed. and you don't
know how glad 7 am that I tried it. I
feel like a new person. 1 have gained in
weight and I don't have that terrible
burning sensation n my stomach any
more. 1 feel so strong again that 1 am
surprised at myself. The street noises
that used to ~irritate me so, I never
notice. now, and my mind is so clear
that my household duties are a real
pleasure"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Greek, Mich.
There's q reason.
Now why was this great change made
in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind Of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centres in these organs. 1t is alb
IsoIute folly to try to do this with
medicine. There is but n sure way,
and that is to quit the old food thai has
failed and take on Grape-Nuts food,
which is more than half diSested in the
process of manufacture and is rich in
the phosphate of potash contained IN
thc natural grain, which unites with
alhumen and water-the only three
Substances that will make up the soft
gray filling in the thousands Of delicate
nerve centres in the brain and body.
Grape-Nuts food is a .ure road back to
health in all such cases.

Tho Dolphin as a Pilot.

SPeiorous Jack" is the name OF an-oid
idolphin which is protected by a special
act Of the New Zealand Legislature.
1.-The official proclamation Of the Gov
eminent prohibits any interference
with P~elorous Jack under a penalty OF
!f1O0.
According to an old sailors tale. a
ishoal of dolphins grounded on the
shores Of Cook Strait forty years ago,
and one of them escaped into the sea.
That one, which is now acknowledged
to be Pelorous Jack, left the To-
,cality where he lost his companions,
and "he is now protected by law as be
has always been by sentiment"
The most remarkable fact Of all is
the rea son for the passage of the law,
which is that Pelorous Jack acts as a
most effective pilot, escorting all kinds
of vessels in and out Of the French
SFass, Cook Strait, always keeping TO
deep water.
For years he was believed to be a
beluga, or white whale, but recent SCI
entiic investigation has shown that
he is really a dolphin. AS he is never
absent frcn. his duties, the proclama-
Ition has been received with keen salts

dered 2 Baby by Rolling Il Down
Steep E~mbankinen-.

Toronto. Ontario.-A melUdraaA r:O'
duced at a local theatre suggested 20
Josephine Carr the idea Of kidnapping.
On Friday she went down town, and,
knowing that a small lane next to a
department store was a favorite place
TO leave babies while their mothers
shopped. watched her opportunity. AS
o as Mrs. Murray left her nine
months-old baby alone in its Socart
Josephine kidnapped the child.
Taking a car she rode almost to her
home. Suddenly. she says, she realized
as night came on, that she had Il help
less infant OH her hands. and rolled IT
down ninety-foOtrai!way embankment
near her home. Some time afterward
probably the next morning-she went
to the bottom of the ravine. There she
stripped the dead form Of its clothing,
and. accompanied by her hve-year-old
brother, bid the clothing in another
ravine a mile distant. She then hid the
body under a dry culvert.
That morning she raised the alarm
that she had found the gocart and dead
baby in the ravine, and as the result
Of the investigation which followed she
was arrested and confessed.
The dead baby was the only child or
a Scotch couple who arrived here two
months ago. The Carr girl is thirteen
years I'D.

RUSSIAN FLEET SPLIT.

AMMAN.

AMMAN.
Paris.-The following has been COM
municated to the press by NJ. Thorn
son, Minister of Marine:
After its departure from Port d'Ayot,
the Russian squadron went to Hainan
Island, where it anchored to take coal.
On either the night of May - or May
20 part of the fleet, composed of eleven
vessels, returned to the coast of An
nam, cruised about for two hours and
then anchored off Port dAyot outside
of territorial waters.
News Of this was telegraphed to
Saigon, reaching there about 8 o'clock
4. n. Admiral de JonquiereS, the
French commander, at once decided to
so to Port d'Ayot in order to make sure
that the rules of neutrality are not
violated. He embarked on a%Tcruiser,
bearing strict and precise instructions.
It is believed that the return of the
less swift and less strongly armed of
the Russian vessels is Il ruse COLI
ceived by Admiral RojestvenSky with
the intention Of deceiving Admiral
Togo into believing that his entire
fleet has returned. while as a matter
of fact he is making for F~ladivoStok
with all speed with his best ships.
The returnrof the vessels caused no
excitement at Saigon. as they are out
side of the jurisdiction OF France.
A later telegram received at the Min
istry Of Marine says the Russian YES.
sells that returned are the auxiliary
cruisers and the volunteer feet. They
were seeking Golfers which were
awaiting them in that neighborhood.

To Coal Near Luzon.

London.-The Paris correspondent OF
the Times says he learns from a well
informed Russian source that the rem
devious of Rojestvensky's coaling fleet
is at one of the islands in Balintang
Channel. The island will. be- merely
a point of rendezvous where the COL
Tiers will receive further instructions
from Admiral Rojestvensky as to the
particular harbor or bay where the
fleet will coal. This probably will be
somewhere on the coast of the Island
of Luzon. The Americans have only a
few ships at Manila, and nothing better
than a frst-class cruiser. They are
wholly inadequate for anything more
than a demonstration in the event Of
coming up with the Russian fleet.
