The Planet Mars.

II am certain Mars Is inhabited" said
Camille Flammarion, "and probably by
people much more advanced than we
are. The year in Mars Is twice as
long as ours-that is to say, 1t really
consists of 730 days. The public at
large does not really know the preci-
sion Of some of our astronomical OBJ
servations. Thus we know the length
of the day in Mars by diurnal rotation
to the -thousandth part Of second,
and from observations, which have
now extended over 100 years, we find
the length Of the day on the planet is
"a hours AZ minutes % seconds. The
climate Of the Martians is very mild:
there are no gales, while the atmos-
phere is very light, with scarcely any
clouds. The inhabitants enjoy fine
weather, the climate being dry and
clear. We know the globe Of Mars per-
fectly; In fact, far better than the
earth"

A vigorous hen in full laying will eat
about five ounces of we'll balanced
food each day. What Is called main
tenance ration" means the amount Of
food actually required to keep up the
body of the hen without laying or gain
ing in flesh. When mature hen stops
laying and becomes idle two and half
or three ounces of food will be ample
for her needs. When hens run in an
orchard or in a grass park in the sum-
mer it is wise plan to feed the whole
grain in the grass, sowing it broad
cast, as one would for seeding. The
hens hunt and scratch for 1t and If not
overfed will get it all. The exercise is
just what they need, and they find
many bugs and eat much grass while
hunting for the grain. A mixture Of
equal parts of corn, oats and wheat is
good for this broadcasting. Hens like
a variety, and some will pick out corn
one day, oats another and wheat at an
other time Where hens can run at
large they pick up 40 per cent or more
of their food.-The Business Hen.

The Polite Burglars.

It Is said that even the most gentle
manly Of our burglars have much to
learn from japan in the way Of polite
ness, if one may judge by description
of the manners of robbers in that coun-
try. Three men broke into q dyer's
house while he was away, and one Of
them gently asked the wife how much
money there was in the place. She an
swered that there was just a little in
the house. The robber laughed and
said:
"You are good old woman, and we
believe you. If you were poor we
would not rob you at all. Now, we only
want some money and this" placing
his hand on fine silk dress.
The old woman replied: Gall my hus-
bands money can give you, but beg
you will not take that, for it does not
belong to my husband and was con-
fided to us only for dyeing. What is
ours can give, but cannot give what
belongs to another"
''That Is quite right" approved the
robber, and he Immediately withdrew
with his confederates.

POPULAR GARDENING

Thin the beets and use the Trimmings
for green's. One hoeing is better than
three waterings.
Where the early crops of lettuce,
peas, onions, cabbage, radish, cauli-
flower, etc., have been taken off fit the
ground again and plant cucumber
strawberry, celery, late cabbage or 9th
er second crops.
A planting Of early sweet corn every
ten days will keep up the succession.
Minnesota and Corey are good kinds.
Small weeds are much easier handled
than large ones. It Is the season OF the
weed. Keep busy.
Watch the bees and have hives ready
for new swarms.
Every garden should have compost
heap to utilize all refuse organic mat
ter about the place.
Cucumbers may be planted with good
results as late as the middle Of June.
There Is no class Of plants that re-
spond more readily to good treatment
than garden vegetables.
Setting tomatoes, eggplants and pep
pers may still be done In June.

In the baseball annals of Texas Bal
timore county, is an incident which,
whether an actual occurrence or not,
has been repeated so often that it Is
invested with the force Of fact.
On a hot Fourth of July back in the
eighties, when the catcher held his posi-
ton behind the bat without mask
and the pitcher knew Of no curve or toe
plate, there was a game Of ball be-
tween the Texas Sluggers and the IT,
monium Little Potatoes, but Hard to
Peel The Sluggers had got In some
good stick work early in the game, and
the visitors were just feeling the big
Texas pitcher. 1t was the fifth inning,
and the Little Potatoes had two men
on the bases, one on second and the
other on first, when one Of their home
run hitters, who had been asleep I'M
til this moment, struck the ball. It
cleared the entire field and would have
fallen on the railroad track, but just at
that moment train came along, and
the ball disappeared In the smokestack

a lively speed up grade, and the force
Of the puffs elected the ball. The mo-
mentum of the train carried 1t until it
fell in the third baseman's hands, and
douSle play was the result. After
much kicking from the Little Potatoes
as to whether the play was fair the side
was retired, as the double play made
three hands out-Baltimore Sun.
