How Early Start with the Spring
Vegetables May Be
Made.

Anyone with even small facilities may
get early vegetables with little trouble.
1t requires some form of forcing bed.
The one here described gives satisfac-
tory results, says the Orange Judd Farm
er. Many people are so situated that
early vegetables may be purchased
cheaper than they can be grown, but the
quality is not so pleasing and the ex-
pense only slightly less.

q hole for drainage. Fill this box with
four inches of mellow. rich soil. II nec-
essary. stir some fertilizer with 1t before
1t is put into the box. Settle the soil by
shaking, removing all Jumps and waste
matter, and cover the surface smoothly
with about one inch of fine sand. Water
the soil thoroughly by sprinkling the
surface with fine spray, using care not
to wash out the sand.
Provide pail to receive any water
that may drain through. Place the box
before a window upon q frame made OF
two-inch pieces, such as shown in the
cut. Allow it to remain in the sun two
or three days until the soil is thoroughly
warm, then plant the seeds in rows about
three inches apart and deep enough to
be below the layer of sand. Tilt the box
toward the sunlight. so that 1t may get
all the sun possible. Keep the surface
well moistened, but do not water enough
to cause drainage water to run through
the soil.
If there is considerable sunlight, such
box will grow vigorous plants in n few
weeks after planting. The room must
be kept at the ordinary temperature of
a living room, and not allowed at any
time to become very cold, or the plants
will be injured If the box Is turned
around every day or so the plants will
grow more stocky and will not be
drawn" by the light. The plants them
selves will indicate by their leaning to-
ward the light just when this should be
done. The window before which the box
stands should not be opened to allow the
cold air to reach the growing plants un-
til they are of sufficient size, when they
may be hardened before putting out in
the open ground.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
Some Facts Concerning 1t That Are
Not Generally Known

Some Facts Concerning 1t That Are
Not Generally known.
Though every schoolboy presumably
knows to a nicely where the Cape Of
Good Hope is situated, there. does I'M
doubtedly prevail in less enlightened
circles some vagueness of conception
as to the exact locality of that cele-
brated headland. Even the gentle
reader is family conscious Of uncer-
tainty and answers with briskness
not born of conviction: THE Cape Of
GosA Hope? Why, Of course l know
where it is. Down at the end of South
Africa" Gentle reader. you are not
very far out, fifty or hundred miles
perhaps. And, as you say, it Is not Of
the slightest consequence from a prac-
teal point of view.
The Cape Of Good Hope lies at con-
siderable distance from the end and is.
in fact, the middle of the three promon-
tories, severally inconspicuOus, which
Jointly terminate a slender peninsula,
some twenty miles in length, forming
the barrier between False bay and the
Atlantic ocean on the west These three
headlands, lying near together and
commonly undivided on a map of mod
crate scale, are locally designated
Cape Point. 1t was here that Bartholo-
NEW Diaz first encountered in full
force the prevalent southeasterly gales
and denounced the rugged, threaten
ing, threefold promontory under the
q
Storms, to be afterward rechristened
by pious, trustful hearts the Cape Of
Good Hope. The Cape of Storms, the
Cape of Good Hope, Cape FAREWELL Is

nae Way Smoking Acts Upon and In
Jures the System.
Are you learning to smoke" boys?
Learning by heart tobacco hear? 2"
Read what a doctor says in the Med
ical Summary and then enjoy your
smoke-if you can:
In smoking tobacco we take in car
bonic oxide, several ammonias and
very poisonous oil containing nicotine.
The ammonias and nicotine are the
substances which by acting in numer-
GUS directions are so injurious to the
system. The ammonias act on the
blood, making 1t alkaline and fluid,
thereby impairing its nutritive prop
erty.
The stomach is debilitated and dys-
pepsia Induced The innovation Of
the heart is disturbed, its action is
weak, irregular and intermittent, and
faintness and vertigo are the conse-
quences.
Owing 90 the disturbances in the
blood and heart the process of nutri-
ton is slow, and in the young serious
ly affected tissue is paralyzed and vi
sion is impaired
Tobacco is essentially a functional
rather than an organic poison. 1t mod
ifies the special energies and not the
structure. Tobacco Is eliminated by
the kidneys and very rapidly; conse-
quently the bad effects quickly disap-
pear under proper treatment If, how
ever, the habit is given up.

A VERY CAREFUL WOMAN.


Lady EldOn Gould Not Abide any
thing Like Extravaganza.
Ford Chancellor Eldon was energet-
icafly aided in his parsimonious habits
by his wife, of whom it was said that
she and her daughter had but one bon
net between them. The Rev. R. n.
Barham, author Of The Ingoldsby
Legends" records in his diary an
amusing story Of lady Eldon's penn
robustness:

Joy few hours sport after a rainy
night ordered Bob. the pony, to be

the door and announced that Bob was

"Oh, yes. my lady," said the servant,

Shameful exclaimed her la0yship.
How dared you, SIR, or anybody have
that pony shod without orders7 John"
continued she, addressing her husband,

his shoes taken OF and have kept
them In my bureau ever since. They

The enormous value of continual
practice with the foils as means of
securing and preserving good health Is.
In my humble opinion, the main reason
for the steady hold of fencing upon
public favor in France and Italy 1t is
only of late years that the attention be-
slowed by medical men upon physical
exercise, in France at least, where
DR.. Lagrange's treatises have become
classical, has given prominence to the
worth of fencing as a health factor
Every one knows, or, rather, every one
should know, that fencing presses into
service every muscle of the human
frame, that 1t creates and develops
suppleness and quickness, that prac-
ticed In youth it imparts freedom and
grace of motion absolutely unattain-
able by other means, that it is not a
violent exercise In so far as injury by
strain is involved and, finally, that its
perils are comparatively few. At very
remote intervals one hears of a fatal
injury resulting, almost invariably
from a cheap or damaged mask Oh
from the foolhardy practice of exercis-
ing without the usual head or chest
covering or with an i'll buttoned foil
The proportion of mishaps to the num-
Der of fencers, however, Is infnitesi-
mal.-Frederick A. Schwab in Outing.
