It Is well enough to denounce the miserable tools in the councils of our cities and to thunder against the po- litical bosses. But they are not, after all, the chief sinners. The chief sin ners are the eminent and pious men who occupy the chief seats in the syn agogue, who make long prayers on the street corners and who make broad the phylacteries of their gar ments. Somehow or other we must make such corporate crookedness un- fashionable. We must hold the stock holders in such concerns as this Phila- delphia Gas Company to very strict accountability. If a man chooses to rob his neighbors through such instru- mentalities as this he must at least be made to know that his neighbors un- derstands that they are being robbed and robbed by him.

A Little Garden Talk.

Put up strings, trellises or other supports for morning glories, nasturtl- ums, coboeas and other runners.
 Thin poppy bed or border; you ought to have one; If you have not, thin oth- CT annuals. Give them lots of room it pays to do so.
 Don't give vegetation a flick and a promise;" it's better to soak heavily twice a week than to moisten super ficially.
 Transplant flower seedlings and wa ter well; sift with a goodly lump of soil and place in new spot after mak- ing soil fine and moist. Do the trans planting after sundown.
 Pruhe shrubs as soon as bloom ceases, insuring new wood and flower buds. Don't wait until next spring, when you will probably cut of much of the spring blooming possibilities.

MIR. SPANGLER'S APPETITE.
S>S.G>C&>x>&.G>&.SCCs

The tramp was old and meek In manner, and the belated ironing was as much as the maid could manage without any housekeeping. So, al though Mrs. Spangler felt nervous about admitting strange and ragged man to the house when her husband was absent, she told the man to come in and she would see what she could find for him to do. The Chicago News relates the experiences of an anxious day:
 Mrs. Spangler assumed confident air and pointed out the rugs that were to be beaten.
 The man picked them up with an air so suspiciously civil, so unnatural ly meek, that Mrs. Spangler's alarm increased, and she hastily resolved upon roundabout intimidation.
 Don't make noise if you can help it," she said. He had not made a sound. "Fm afraid you may wake my husband. His room is at the head of the stairs, and he sleeps very light ly,"
 "I'n be careful, maam," said the tramp. Does the gentleman work nights?"
 "Er-no," replied Mrs. Spangler, to whom conveying false impressions strange. 'But-he was up late last night"
 The tramp went at his task with energy, and when 1t was completed Mrs. Spangler set him cleaning win dows. By noon the downstairs panes were like crystals. At the same time Mrs. Spangler had misgivings. There was gleam in the mans eyes she did not like. Still, she consulted with the maid on the advisability of giving him a lunch and retaining him for the upstairs woodwork.
 The maid thought 1t would be all

To Give Powder.-A successful method of giving powders to chill dren is to cut open a small piece of chocolate cream, insert the powder and close the chocolate again. This is one of the easiest ways of inducing a child to take powder and less sickish than the usual spoonful of jelly.
 Measles.-Generally very little treat ment Is necessary. Little or no food should be given during the acute stage. The patient should drink large quan- titles of water and should be given a colon flushing at least once every day If the eruption is slow to appear or if It Is repelled after once appearing, give a warm blanket pack. Temper ature may be controlled by tepid sponglng of the body.
 The Salt Habit.-A new freak in human alteration is asserting itself. The new habit of salt eating Is not only greatly on the increase, particu- larly among women of all classes, but Is in many cases a most serious dis quantities of salt with the food and If not checked reaches a stage in which the patient carries Jumps of salt about continually nibbling at them.

According to veteran New York detective who has just gone on the re- tired list after nearly forty years of service, the trust principle or combi- nation of interests does not prevail among criminals. In the recital of his experiences, which he has imparted to an interview, it is set forth that gangs" are by no means as common to-day as they were when he first took to sleuthing, and that "pals" and part ners" are growing few. The modern criminal prefers to do his work alone. He Is the independent laborer, the in. dividual operator, and having no as. sociates runs less danger, for the say ing about honor among thieves has little to rest on. "Pals" are easily bumped" when they do not anticipate the need of the process by "squealing." Another thing that the retired detective

 But with Mir. Spangler away"
 'He thinks he's asleep upstairs" the maid reminded.
 Mrs. Spangler decided to risk 1t. She called the tramp to the kitchen and set before him nice little lunch. She left him a moment, and when she returned there was nothing eatable in sight
 Mrs. Spangler hardly noticed his yoracity. If you'll come with me and bring that bucket I'll show you what cleaning l want done," she said. At the top of the stairs she raised her finger and whispered, Now remember not to make noise and wake my husband. That's his room."
 Don't the gentleman feel able to come down to lunch" the tramp asked.
 He suspects somethingw thought Mrs. Spangler. She said, "No. I'll send something up to him by you. Come back with me-"
 Hurriedly she loaded tray with a miscellaneous assortment of cold pro visions from the ice box, including a bottle of ginger ale "Set it down gently outside" she directed. If he wakes, as he may any moment now, he'll find it when he opens the door,"
 The tramp went upstairs with the tray. Mrs. Spangler sat In the parlor and listened. For an hour she heard nothing but the sound of gentle swab- ping. Then the tramp appeared, pail in one hand, and in the other-an empty tray"
 Why" exclaimed Mrs. Spangler.
 "He ate the lunch," explained the tramp. noticing the direction of her gaze. He said he'd try to get an other nap"

Worms In Swine,

To secure the best results affected hogs should receive individual treat ment. Twentyfour hours before ad- ministering treatment very little feed should be given them. Then give the following medicine. first recommended by the veterinary department of the Kansas State Experimental Station, as a drench to each hundred-pound hog Qarger or smaller hogs should receive a dose in proportion): Oil of turpen- tine, four drams; liquor ferridialysatus, one-half dram; raw linseed oil, six ounces. If necessary, repeat the dose in four days.

Some Convenient Hooks.

Where there is more or less hauling of bags of grain or other bulky articles on the farm a number of hooks attach ed to handles will be found exceeding ly useful. Several hooks may be form ed by the local blacksmith at small cost in the labor saved in a single sea son. The illustration shows several of the hooks that will be found the most useful. The hook shown at Figure l is the one familiar to city people. used as it Is by truckmen who handle heavy bags and boxes. Figure represents a longer hook made of iron with a sharp hook end and short handle of wood piece of hardwood is fast ened around the middle of the bar of iron which permits one to get firm
 grip with the other hand. Figure 3 represents the double hook fastened to a handle of hardwood by ferules indi- cated at 0, o, O.

GhastIy Ceremony in Tibet.

The death dances of the Tibetan mystery plays, one of which Is per formed on the last three days of the year, are called the ceremony of the sacrifcial body of the dread year." says the Kansas City Journal. The effigy of man made out of dough, as lifelike as possible and having in- side a distinct heart and all the en- trails filled with red fluid, Is placed by four cemetery ghouls in sight of the numerous spectators In the center of the yard, and at once bands of skel- eton ghosts rush upon the corpse to at- tack 1t.
 This Is the time to display the necro- matic power of Lamaism over the evil spirits. Monks and lamas come forth and go through a series of ceremonies, the magic effect of which keeps the fiends away. But more formidable devil with great horns and possessed of superior powers makes his appear ance and takes the field. Whereupon a saint or an incarnation of Buddha himself goes to the rescue, sprays flour on the enemy, makes mystic signs and utters incantations.
 The skeleton ghosts and the big fiend groyel before and implore mer- cy. He graclously yields to their sup pllcatlons and allows them to partaks of sacramental meal. While they kneel before him he gives to each one of them little flour to eat and drink out of vessel of holy water.

It is often said that any man can make himself rich who sets out reso- lutely to do SO, but when this spacious statement is analysed there is not much in 1t to encourage anybody. The faculty of making money by the exer- else of financial skill is probably the rarest of all natural gifts. It Is not every man who is a musician, an ora tor, a poet, mathematician, an in- yentor, lawyer, a physician or an engineer, but 1t is no exaggera ton to say that civilized society contains 100 men who are musicians, orators, poets, mathemattcians, inventors, lawyers physicians or engineers to every one who Is able by legitimate means and by sheer financial ability to make money. There is nothing more foolish than for man who Is not natural money-maker to ina zine that he can acquire the knack of 1t. It would be far easier for a man who has no car for music to become a musician or a color-bllnd man to become an artist VI q Lhoh VI ilud
 ination to become a poet. It is said that the poet is born and not made,
 and that is true enough, but not so true as that money making Is a natu-
 ral gift and never an acquisition. There is no one so painfully conscious of this as man who has become rich by good fortune and who has lost his money. As long as he had 1t he prided himself that he made 1t by his smartness, and even for while after he lost 1t he thought he would go right to work and replace 1t. Years afterward his seedy clothing, his bent form and his lackluster eye proclaimed that he was not natural money maker and that his former prosperity was an accident. What makes people think that anyone can make money who bends his mind to 1t Is that all most anyone can accumulate consider able money by living solely for that end. We constantly read of beggars and ragpickers who die leaving behind them remarkable fortunes for that class of people, and there Is no doubt that almost anyone with such a pas sion for accumulation as they have can meet with the same success. The diff ference between them and the natural is that they degrade and ruin their moral and social nature by the effort, while the natural money maker may even expand and elevate his mind by his successes. The Ihan who is not born to make money may learn a lesson from the fable of the weasel. This animal in his travels found hogshead in which there was a great deal of sugar and Into which he went without difficulty through a small hole. He enjoyed the sugar so much that he stayed there week or two, and when he thought of return ing home again he discovered that he had grown so fat that he could not pass through the hole. There was left for him but to starve him. self back to his former size. The man who accumulates money by becoming a miser and sharper parts company with his humanity and his self-respect, and he will never be fit for human SO. ciety again-at least until he loses his money.

Relieving Calves from Flies.

During the summer months flies are constant torment to young calves. The chronological department of the Kansas State Agricultural College has been experimenting and compounding various substances in order to produce an effective and economical mixture, which, when applied to the surface of an animal would ward off the flies. As result of these experiments, 1t has succeeded in producing the following formula, which seems to answer the purpose reasonably well: Resin, 11a pounds; laundry soap, 9 cakes; fish-oil, F pint; enough water to make three gallons. Dissolve the resin in a so- lution of soap and water by heating; add the fish-oil and the rest of the water. Apply with brush. It to be used as a spray, add F pint of kero- sene. This mixture will cost from to s cents per gallon, and may be used on either calves or cows. One-half pint of this mixture is considered enough for one application for a COW; a calf, less. It will be more economical to apply this only to the parts of the anil nal not reached by the tail. At first 1t will perhaps be necessary to give two or three applications per week, until the outer ends of the hair be- come coated with resin; after that, re- touch those parts where the resin Is rubbed off

Points on Poultr,


 Plant plum tree in the chicken yard now.
 Stop feeding ten or twelve hours be- fore killing.
 Feed all fowls confined in the yard green food.
 The higher the breed, the greater the care must be. Cut down on the large grain.
 No poultry breeder will make the nests for his sitting hens on the ground.
 Persian insect powder is good rem edy for lice. It should be dusted over the fowls and nests.
 Never allow sick fowls to be with the rest of the flock; many poultry dis eases are contagious.
 Give cucumbers and squashes plenty of liquid manure and soapsuds from the kitchen. Sprinkle thoroughly. Clean the poultry house every day. Do not throw away old broken plas- ter and mortar. Put 1t in the poultry yard.
 Wood ash is good fertilizer for the trees, and in the garden, but do not put 1t in poultry houses, as 1t has a tendency to injure the legs of your fowls.

Spraying Potatoes.

To get the best of the blight on po- tatoes the work of spraying must be started when the plants are few inches high and continued throughout the season, doing the work thoroughly every ten days or two weeks at most, oftener if the rain washes off the spray. While opinions differ, experi- ence has shown tkat the following for mula is the most effective one for use in spraying potatoes: Dissolve six pounds of blue vitriol and four pounds of best stone lime in fifty gollons of water and when the plants are small apply at the rate of fifty gallons per acre, increasing the quantity as the plants grow until in midsummer 100 gallons to the acre are used.
 When 1t is necessary to use some thing for the destruction of potato bugs, dissolve Paris green in the Bor- deaux mixture as indicated, at the rate of one pound to each seventy-five gallons of the mixture, spraying the combined mixture together. While sev- eral other mediums are used, we feel that the Bordeaux mixture compound ed as indicated, will do the business better than anything else. If the best methods are followed in conjunction with this spraying, there ought to be comparatively little trouble in obtain ing good crop of potatoes in a nor mal season.

Small Areas, Better Care.


 An agricultural paper published in of farmers to reduce the area of work ing soil. Tn some localities they are being forced to this by the increasing value of farm property, with the con sequent taxation making 1t too valua- ble in the one sense, and too expensive in the other, to use for farming pur- poses. There Is, however, another side to the queStion-a side which farmers i'll all sections located near good mar kets have learned-and this Is that 1t is more profitable to till ten acres well than hundred i'll.
 Near the great city of New York there are a hundred men or more who raise market stuff on land worth sev- eral thousand dollars an acre. They pay the high rent for such land and make profit simply because they get several big crops from the soil, with the help of hotbeds and cold frames, in a season. It may be claimed that such work is not possible except in such a locality, but those who know say that prices in New York are frequently much less than in many of the smaller cities and towns, which is undoubtedly true. A neighbor of the writer, in Iowa, makes more profit from seven acres in small fruits and about an acre, range and all, devoted to poultry, than do most of his neighbors with farms ranging from fifty to eighty acres in extent.-Indianapo News.
