about an hour, or until the meat Is

and put into a mold. Set 1t when 1t
has cooled near the ice to become thor
oughly cold and hard. The gravy will
then have formed stir jelly around
the meat and the whole will have

FRUIT TREE NouRIsHMENT.
What Il Taken Out Of the Ground In
Growing and Maturing
the Fruit.

The Cornell experiment station bull
letin 10. 1903 on Soil Depletion In Re-
spect 20 the Care OF Fruit Trees, shows
that the plant food contained In 20
crops of apples Of Is bushels per tree
and IS trees per acre, when the leaves
that are formed are also taken into the
calculation, amounts to 1881 pounds OF
nitrogen, $40 pounds Of phosphoric acid
and 1896 pounds Of potash. Prof. Voor-
hees shows that 20 years continuous
cropping with wheat, assuming an aver
age crop of Is bushels per acre. and
seven pounds of straw to three bushels
Of wheat, would remove $50 pounds Of
nitrogen. 211 pounds OF phosphoric acid
and 324 pounds OF potash. We can thus
compare the results Of 20 years cropping
Of apples, after the production OF trees.
capable OF bearing such crops, has taken
large amounts OF plant food from the
soil. for the 20 years cropping OF apples
has removed more than twice as much
nitrogen, half as much again OF phos-
phoric acid. and three times as much
potash as the wheat crops during the
same period. II is evident, then, that
an orchard will far more rapidly deplete
the fertility of the soil than the con-
tinuous cropping in wheat. Any farmer
will understand that 20 years continu-
Gus cropping in wheat would be bad
farming and would result in soil deple'
ton. How much more then does the
continuous cropping in apples deplete
the soil. Burn the hardwood Of an apple
tree and you will fully understand the
amount of potash removed from the
soil In the wood alone.

AN ANSWERING SILENCE.

Young ladies with fondness for

by an episode at seaside resort last
summer, relates Lippincott's Maya
zine.
An engaging masculine OF seven
years became on exceedingly good
terms with the belle Of their particu-
lar hotel, a girl about 20 years his
senior. One day the charmer asked
the swain to go bathing, and after the
bath, as they returned to their bath
houses, the small man suggested q
race to see who could dress first. They
entered the lighthouses, which ad-

Again came the answer: Eyes, dear.

Again a pause-then a triumphant
voice shrilly proclaimed: Miss

The answering silence was oppres-

VALUE OF STEADY WORK.
One Of the Best Things Learned ~
School II the Power for Per-
sistent Effort.

Writing in Good Housekeeping on
boarding schools for girls. Clara Lena
Bostwick says: School gives another
invaluable discipline. that OF steady.
uninterrupted work. or course. girls
are sent away to school for q variety
OF things-for fun. to get into society,
TO be finished" There are schools
that give them what they desire. and
nothing else; and their desires fro
quently do not include hard study.
But where parents place their daugh-
ter In school to get the best that the
new experience can give her. by no
means the least of the good and the
pleasure that she finds comes from
the steady, systematic work. with its
power OF concentration and delight In
achievement and conquest OF dif-
Guilty. This II Is hard to secure In
most homes, even with the best OF In
tentions on the part Of both mothers
and daughters.
Then, the steady routine OF school
life, which makes this uninterrupted
work possible, makes 1t also less bur-
densome. When we have to do
thing at a regular time. we do 1t. and
that is the end of 1t. When 1t is LEFT
to our discretion, We often spend haif
the time deciding when to do 1t, and
the other half in worrying because II
is not done. The girl at school Is
spared this strain. Her study hours
are fixed for her, she has just SO mucn
time in which to accomplish her work.
Then she is free. and there is no ques-
ton in her mind whether she ought 10
study more.

HANC0Ck'S LAST NIGHT
Embraces the Episcopal Religion
and Receives Baptism

Hancock as the guilty man, yet he
maintains to the very last that he
is innocent. Yesterday Warden Con-
sidine made a personal visit to him
End asked If lie knew of anv ntha-s
implicated in the terrible murder.
Hancock profssed establishment and
denied that he was in any way con-
nected with. it.
Governor Sparks also visited the
prison and had talk with the con-
demned man. He likewise askc1
questions leading up to the murder
and in every instance. Hancock de-
clared that he was innocent and that
he knows nothing of the murders.
!, The Warden last evening stated
that Hancock was holding up well,
that some nervousness was apparent
but that the man, as whole, stood
the ordeal remarkably we'll He put
in most of the time talking and josh
ing with the other condemned men,
and they in turn have offered all
kinds of sympathy. After the first
shock, when the news of the Supreme
J Court was told Hancock, he was ba
iy shaken, but since that time he ha:
been even cheerful The Warden be
lieves that he will face the nooss
without assistance and the condemned
man promises to be the coolest mar
at the execution
No relatives have offered to in
tercede in his troubles and no re
quests have been made by the con
demned man as to the disposition
of his remains and small persona
