A Social Battle ROYAL,

young married hostess, who want all

Important to Mothers
PoRcUPlNEs AND SALT.
Experience That Would Seem to Prove
Salt a Natural Need.


Some men who were camping in the
Adirondacks several years ago. on
breaking camp in the autumn. left an
old tub which was saturated with salt
brine. On returning to the same camp
the next year, they found the tub had
been gnawed until little of it was left.
They We're not long in finding out
what animal had done this work, for
the camp was overrun with Canadian
porcupines. AT night they became
such a nuisance that the campers were
obliged TO kill them to protect their
property. The handle of a paddle was
gnawed half through.
The explanation of their presence
in such numbers during that year,
when they had not been noticeably
abundant in the previous year, is that
they had made a rendezvous of the
camp, being attracted by the old brine
tub. On this they Toasted all winter.
and for that reason We're greatly
pleased with the locality.
An interesting query is this: Is
the liking of salt an acquired or a
natural taste? Were they ever able to
crafty that taste to any extent before
man gave them a chance to do so?

LEAN TOWARD THE NORTH.
Popularity of Walls and chimneys in
New Orleans French Quarter.


There are many strange and pc
cuIiar things about the French quarter
of New Orleans" said the man who
observes things. but | know OF none
stranger than the fact that the Chin
neys and walls of the older buildings
all have a tendency to lean toward the
north. | have puzzled over this fact
for long time, but have oeen unable
to arrive at any sensible solution of
the popularity. Across Canal street
the chimneys are either erect or if
they are inclined to be out of plumb
are just as likely to lean in one di-
rection as another, While in French
town they invariably tilt to the north.
On Charles street this anomaly is par
ticularly apparent. Some of the chin
neys closely resemble the leaning tow
err of Pisa, and it would seem that
the slightest jar would send them
topping over. However. the old build
ers were good workmen. They put up
walls and chimneys to stand and many
of the other buildings which are now
apparently crumbling to decay would
last for many years if some care We're
taken of them. Speaking of the CHM
neys again, have asked many people
for an explanation. Few had noticed
the tendency and none could suggest
reasonable cause. New Orleans

AIDS NATURES WORK
EFFECT OF AcETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.
Grow to Twice Actual Weight Of
Those Exposed to Sunlight Only
Latest Victory for This New and
Beautiful llIuminant.

The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the
beautiful rays from the gas, acetylene,
are as effective as sunlight on the
growth of plants, and this may soon
become subject for serious consider
alton by all progressive cultivators OF
the SOIL
The results of the experiments are
astonishing. inasmuch as they show
conclusively the great increase OF
growth attained by supplementing
1.-THE Light OF Nature with The
Light of Acetylene' during the hours
in which the plants would otherwise be
in darkness. For instance, certain
number of radish plants subjected TO
acetylene light during the night, grew
to twice the actual weight of the same
number of radishes given daylight
only, all other conditions being equal,
and peas had blossomed and partially
matured pods with the help of acety
lene light, while without the added
light not even buds were apparent.
Acetylene is already taking its
Place as an illuminant for towns from
a central plant. for lighting houses,
churches, schools and isolated build
ings of all kinds, and it is being used
successfully for many other purposes.
A striking and important feature of
acetylene is the ease and small en-
pense with which it can be made
available compared with the great adj
vantages derived from its use. The
machine in which the gas is gener-
ated is easily installed.

Lamb-Raisins in Virginia.

Sheep, or more properly speaking,
lamb raising, is an industry of great
Importance in Virginia. Statistics for
1904 give 574,913 sheep in Virginia,
valued at $1,705,611. This industry is
not developed in proportion to the
opportunities offered by the natural
conditions existing in the state. The
entire Shenandoah valley, the Appa
lachian region. as we'll as the Pied

for sheep raising.-Southern Farm

Wife Made Wise Change it, Food.
Change of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
"My husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from it for several years. 1t was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
Il thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue 1t. He did so, and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The
change did him good from the begin
ming, his digestion improved; he suf-
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when he added Grape-Nuts food
to his diet he was soon entirely cured.
my friend, Mrs. -, of Vicks-
burg (my former home) had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit home,
several months ago, persuaded her to
use Grape-Nuts food. She was in de-
spair, and consented. She stuck to it

Is Thrown Away.
The food supply of New York is so
enormous that though the rich and
well-to-do gorged from morning to
night they simply could not eat it all.
There would still remain an abund-
ance for every one if some way could
be found OF distributing the fragments.
Just consider the figures which
have on careful authority: New York
receives every week 100000 pounds
of dressed beef, 100000 pounds of
pork. ham and pigs meat, 100000
pounds of poultry, 100000 pounds Of
sausages, 100000 pounds of mutton
and lamb, over 100000 pounds Of
liver, heart, tripe, etc, over 100000
pounds of canned meats, 100000
pounds of game, and 100000 pounds
Of fish
The fragments of this food, tons and
carried off to fatten pigs in Jersey
or load the fertilizer scows that ply
down the bay. Every day of the year
from 500 to 900 carloads of food,
much of it perfectly good, are taken
from the homes and hotels of New
York and simply thrown away. A
