FRIENDSHIPS.
Differences Between Those Of Men

Differences Between Those Of Men

One difference between men and
women in their relation to friendship
Is that a mans friends like him in

acquaintances care for her because Of
herself. because Of her powers Of agree
ability. her tact or her charm.
A man may be as grouchy as he likes
on occasion. He may swear at his best

he pleases. yet that friend will wait in

the good intentions count for nothing
beside a woman's bad manners and

Is swift and sure. Nothing excuses her,

GARDEN SNAPSHOTS

A veteran gardener says he has seen
moles banished from garden by bits
OF dried Goldfish placed in the entrance
OF theiy holes,
The peculiar adaptablllty Of new
ground TO wateFmelons is attributed
by an authority on the crop to the OPEN
ing Of the soil by the decaying roots
Of vegetation. Whatever compacts the
soil is injurious. A rainy season is I'M
favorable, owing partly to the cGnsoll-
dating Of the soil.
The hand hoe most used by market
gardeners is rather wide and thin, say
ten inches by four for the blade, and
in light sandy land one Of this descrlp-
tion will be found very much to be
desired.
For cutworms it Is sometimes recon-
mended to make a number Of smooth
holes in the ground near the plant to
be protected with a small stick. Many
worms will hide in these and may be
killed In the morning With the same
stick.

POULTRY IN FLORIDA.
Pront In Poultry and Dairying In
Various Parts of the state.

Proflt In Poultry and Dairying In
Various Parts of the state.
That poultry does fairly well in some
parts of Florida is proved by the fact
that in the summer Of 1900 bought
fresh eggs for cents a dozen in Alac-
hua county, of which Gainesville is
the county seat. Many locations In the
state are too wet for chickens. Others
are infested by wildcats, hawks, owls,
opossums, coons, snakes and other
creatures which are fond of young
chickens. In some places mosquitoes
are so bad at times as to kill poultry.
Then, besides most of the diseases
known in the north, we have one called
"wart eye" in which warts form
around the eyes, spread over the head
and body, and the fowl dies. Our sum-
mers are long and hot, and unless sup
piled with plenty of shade and water
poultry must die. The most successful
way to take care Of them seems to be
to give them plenty of food, water and

companion, and at night cool and
clean quarters securely fastened
against providers Of all kinds. Some
people make success with small
yards, but it requires much more care
and attention. Various breeds are
raised, but fully half the hens l have
seen in Florida show Plymouth Rock
blood.
Why PouItFY Is Neglected,
The main reason for the neglect of
the poultry business seems to be that
people can make as much or more
money at other things which do not
require as constant attention. Cotton
and range stock, hogs and cattle, are
profitable In the northern part Of Florl
da, while In the southern part most
people are interested in fruits and veg
etables. Many are interested in range
stock in the southern part also. These
lines Of farming allow the whole fam.
lily to be away from home for several
days at time, while poultry and
dairylng require attention every day
in the year Those who wish to do so
and hsve skill and capital, even little,
are making a profit out of both poultry
and dairying in various parts Of FlorI-
da.-Cor. Rural New Yorker.

Mrs. George H. Tucker, r., s3s
Greenfield Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis,
is a grateful mother. "When six
months DID," she says, "my little girl
weighed pound and half less than
at birth. When one month old a scab
formed on her face, spreading until it
completely covered her from head to
foot, followed by boils, having forty
on her head at one time, and more on
her body. Then her skin started to
dry up, and it became so bad she
could not shut her eyes to sleep. One
MONTH treatment with Cuticurs Soap
and Ointment made a complete cure,
and now my child is as large, strong,

The Doctors and drug bills were over
one hundred dollars, and my baby
grew worse all the time. Then we
spent less than FIVE dollars for Cuti-
ctra and cured her."

A MENTAL PUZZLE.
Double Consciousness Developed By
an Attack of Illness.

Double Consciousness Developed by
an Attack of Illness.
Speaking Of instances of double con-
seriousness, Mental Science notes the
following case:
The patient was girl twenty-five
years of age. She suffered from come
affection that may have been menin-
gifts, but this is not known positively.
She then developed acute maniacal ex-
citation. During this illness the pa
tent presented some remarkable
changes Of personality - such as are
seen In hysteria. The author does not
term the curious manifestations by
this name, but describes some nine or
more different varieties Of personality
manifested by the patient that are
quite interesting Thus the patient had
spells Of blindness, deafness. paralysis,
etc. The most interesting Of these
manifestations, because the least easy
to explain. was the patients ability to
draw the full figure Of nurse, etc.
during her spell Of blindness. To con-
vince himself that this was the actual
case the author held a book between
the patients eyes and the sheet Of
paper on which she was drawing or put
his hands before her eyes while she
was drawing without in any way inter-
fering with her drawing. Her sense Of
touch was highly sensitive during that
period; she could detect line drawn
across her drawing paper, dates writ
ten at the top Of her drawing paper,
merely by touching the paper where
the intruding lines had been drawn.
During her normal state the patient
could never draw either before or after
her illness.
