Shipping the Devil.

The story about THE Devil and the
Deep Sea- reminds a correspondent of
some sailors demonology which he
heard more than thirty years ago. OF
one tale the hero was choleric skip
per by whom any sailor offending
either in word or deed was inconti-
nently thrown overheard. This 4ras-,
tic discipline continued until the skip
per was left alone in the ship, and in
his extremity exclaimed that he would
ship the devil if he offered himself.
The devil appeared and bargain was
made. In return for obedience to all
commands the devil was to have the
sldpper's soul at the end OF the voy-
age. One order which even satan
could not fulfil was that of hemming
a cambric handkerchief with a red
hot marling spike. Another command
had a still more unexpected result.
The skipper rowed to shore in his boat
and left the devil to work the wind
lass which dropped the anchor. 1Ae
result was that as the chain ran out
satan was jerked into the sea-and
drowned"

People that raise onions from seeo
sometimes notice dusty outbreak on
the plants raised from seed. The fun
gus becomes established in the soil.
and such soil should be avoided for
the growing of onions from seed.
though it may be used for the growing
of transplanted onions. If it is neces-
sary to continue to use the soil for
the growing Of onions from seed the
following treatment is recommended:
Mix 100 pounds of sulphur with so
pounds of air-slaked lime. This
should be the application for one acre
of land and it should be sown in the
drills at the time of planting the seed.
The Connecticut station reports that
one pound of formalin in 80 gallons
of water makes a mixture that may
be sprinkled over the seed before it
is covered with the soil and that this
will prevent the growth Of the rust
fungus. Some growers use a fertilizer
drill and drill into the land per acre
from rs to 125 bushels per acre Of
ground lime. This helps to hold bach

The BREEDING stock.

The range is good foundation
on which to build up a breed
ing line Of hogs. 1t must be
supplemented, however, by a ra-
tion well balanced, in which the carbo-
hydrate materials are about five or
six times as abundant as the protein
rations. The feed, both from the range
and from the pals, should be abun-
dant that growth may be continuous.
If the range is too large and the
amount of grain and milk feed be too
small, the pigs will develop more bone
than anything else. This is an ex-
trelae to be avoided, but it is not so
often reached as the other of too much
corn.

When II Stands for Additional Beauty
and Expense.
Despite the talk which seems to
Indicate the contrary" said a promi-
nent Chestnut street furniture expert
to Philadelphia Record reporter,
there is really very little solid wood
used. Take, for instance, mahogany
and the various oaks and walnuts, the
pieces that set people exclaiming over
the marvellous figures Of the grain, and
the ways in which they are matched
up. All such pieces are veneered. Any
fiat surface Of any size is usually
veneered, the veneer being at first
about one-twenty-eighth of an inch,
and when worked down to its final
state Of splendor not over one-thirty-
second of an inch. In these fine sets
which I've shown you the only solid
mahogany in sight which is not ve-
neered is the legs and frames of mir
rors and the like. Look at the great
solid back of this bedstead. 1t is OF
solid mahogany. But it is very tame
as compared with the front, which is
yeneered with the most exquisitely
figured and matched pieces.

case it represents both additional

0hostly Visitation.
That there are more things in heav-
en- and earth than are dreamed Of in
his philosophy is the experience Of
Charles K. Melville. managing editor
of the Morning Republican at Chester,
Pa. Until recently he filed the chair
Of city editor of the morning paper,
but during the illness of Victor H.
Klett, the managing editor, he per-
formed the duties of that desk.
After sending the last edition to
press morning or two ago, he left
for his home on Madison street, which
he reached at 4 o'clock in the morn
ing. Just as he was removing his
clothes, preparatory to getting into
bed, a shadowy figure came before
his eyes.
Thinking it was but the vague crea-
tion of weary brain he was about
to turn out the gas light when the
figure Of Mr.. Klett appeared at the
foot Of the bed, fingered moment,
then vanished
"Klett is Dead" said Mr.. Melville,
as the spectre disappeared.
When he reached the Office at noon
the next day Mr. Melville was not at
all surprised to find bulletin an
nouncing the death of the late chief.
with the further fact that he had
passed away at o'clock.
A few days before this incident VIII
liam Moore, young man, died at the
Croser hospital. Just before he died
he rose upon his bed. His face light
ed with smile, and, exclaiming,
"Why, there's mother" he passed
away. His mother died thirteen years
ago.

The steer a Help.

The steer is always a help to the
farm, even though the graiA put
through him bring no more than in
any other way Of disposing of it. We
at least have in tie steer q source OF
considerable fertility to the farm, and
little labor is required. The feeding
OF siiage to steers has been tried and
found to be a success. The people
that are opposed to feeding silage to
milk COWS do not have the same argu-
ment to help them as they have in
the case of the milch COW. 1t is evil
dent that Nature intended the steer
to be one of the chief pillars of the
farm, when we consider the way she
has covered our farms with fields OF
grass cut by streams of running water.
What hint could be stronger?
| believe there should be a steer Q
year raised on every farm, and that
he should be high quality steer, too.
The price of the steer is not likely
to decline. We no longer have to
look for an increase of competition
from the ranges. They have done
their worst as competitors. 1t is our
turn now. More people are coming
from Europe every year and as soon
as they reach our shores they begin
to eat meat. In ten years they have
greatly increased their meat consump-
tion, and the children of foreigners
are as great meat eaters as we are.
I believe we cannot do better than
work in steer a year as the product
OF every farm.-Henry Edison, Camp
bell Co., KY, in Farmers Review.

The rector of a small and scattered
parish in South Norfolk, England, has
adopted a novel method of bringing
recalcitrant members of his flock to

is only about 250, and on recent
Sunday only two persons formed the
congregation. He thereupon bestirred

Conscience Awakened.

There has been some excitement
over the theft of a valuable diamond
pendant from the jewelry establish
ment OF Messrs. Perrett & Joyner, at
West-on-superM Mare, France, under
very mysterious circumstances. All
efforts to recover the jewel had proved
fruitless, and ne hope was entertained
Of tracing the thief. when one morn
ing cardboard box, unregistered,
bearing a London postmark, was re-
ceived at the shop. and inside was the
pendant loosely wrapped in a piece OF
newspaper. A piece Of radium val
ued at thirty pounds was stolen dur
ing scientific lecture in the town
some time ago and returned in sim
liar manner. 1t is suggested in this
instance of restitution that the thief
has come under the influence Of ths
religious revival.

SKIN Of The cattIe Feeder.

Whether cattle make rapid or SLOW

the skill of the feeder. He must be a

less a man fully realizes the import
ance of knowing the smallest details

Mr.. Bostock, his owner, was at first
unwilling to transport the animal into
England's uncongenial climate. He
wished to insure his life, but found
the insurance companies disinclined
to accept the risk.
Eventually their disinclination was
overcome, and Consul II. will be in
sured for e5O,O0O, or a2S.00O more
than the insurance on Consul I. The
premium is to be 20 per cent. The

Hon. Jerry Simpson Believes the State
Oil Refinery Will Succeed.
Hon. Jerry Simpson. of this city.
still takes an interest in Kansas poll
tics. He is watching closely the
struggle in the legislature of that
state over the proposition to establish
a state oil refinery. While he consid-
ers the widely advertised reform in
the Republican party of Kansas as a
farce. and points to the attitude of
the governor and chairman of the
house on the refinery proposition as
proof that there has been no gain to
the people in the election of Governor
Hoch, he still believes in the people
of Kansas regardless of party as be-
to stand Loyalty by the state institu-
ton in case the refinery is establish
ed and defy the Standard Oil trust
to sell oil or gasoline cheap enough
to induce them to desert their own
industry.
MIR. Simpson says the trust no
doubt is willing to spend millions of
dollars to defeat the Kansas PROPOSE
tion-for If that state establishes an
oil refinery and the people stand by
it, other states will have been shown
the way to fight the trust effectively,
and it will cost the trust millions of
money. Therefore no effort will be
plan in it's incipiency.
