you say, have been an overpowering
necessity which tore him away in such
fashion, and the same necessity Is
likely to hold him away. Let us step

the porter can throw any fresh light
upon the matter"
Sherlock Holmes was past master
in the art Of putting a humble witness
at his ease, and very soon, in the pri-
vacy Of Godfrey Stauntons abandoned
room, he had extracted all that the por-
ter had to tell. The visitor of the night
before was not gentleman, neither
was he workingman. He was simply
what the porter described as ''medi-
UNI looking chap" man of fifty,
beard grizzled, pale face, quietly dress
ed He seemed himself to be agitated.
The porter had observed his hand
trembling when he had held out the
note. Godfrey Staunton had crammed
the note into his pocket. Staunton had
not shaken hands with the man in the
hall. They had exchanged few SEN
fences, Of which the porter had only
distinguished the one word "time"
Then they had hurried off in the man
ner described. 1t was just half-past 10
by the hall clock.
"Let me see," said Holmes, seating
himself on Staunton's bed. "You are
the day porter, are you not?'
"Yes, sir. I go off duty at 11.''

Autumn Hog Pasture.


In some of the northwestern states
and in all the valleys Of the western
mountain states it is entirely practica-
BILE to grow field peas and to fatten
swine upon them in the fields in which
they have been grown. This method OF
harvesting peas with swine is prac-
ticable wherever Canada field peas are
grown, but in climates Of much rain
fall in the autumn months the grazing
would be attended with considerable
loss, and on clay soils much injury
would be done to the land. Moreover,
it would always be accompanied by
loss of the straw for food, but where
other fodder is plentiful this loss
would be more than compensated by
the saving in labor effected by harvest
ing the crop in this way.-Thomas

Celery grows best in a soil Of high

Inherited Evils Overcome !


The old axiom that blood will tell'
is being given a startling %contradic-
lion at Battle Creek, Mich, In the
unusual family of DR.. John II. Kel-
logs at present.
His adopted boy, Alberto, saved
from an adobe hut in old Mexico,
has of his own free will decided 60
become a physician and is now WORK
ing out the rudimentary education
with a show of brain power that Dor
ders on the miraculous.
The son of an Aztec Indian squaw
and a Standardization is leading his
classes in the American Medical Mis-
sionary preparatory school and at the
age Of fifteen working out problems
that have leased his teachers and in
some cases have had to be referred
to textbook authors for a decision
always in favor of Alberto.
The life of Alberto, the Aztec, since
he was brought to Battle Creek to
have his hair combed and his face
washed, has proved that heredity in
some instances at least is a mere
b%ugaboo. With hi' fellow companions
in DR.. Kellogg's he he and in the Has

HAP AMI It's CARE.

The head and hair should be thor.
oughly clean or the locks will grow
scant and lifeless. Long hair should
be washed once a month, oftener is
not necessary. Short hair may be
washed every week; it 7ries quickly
and no harm is done. The use of soda.
bOraX or ammonia in washing is a
fault. They change the color, the roots
are injured and the fibres grow brittle
and lifeless. To remedy hair splitting,
the ends should be singed every six
weeks to seal up the brittle, hollow
tubes, and if the hair is uneven, roll
it in small twists and SINCE these the
entire length to catch all ends.
A certain amount of dandruff is an
indication that the system is in a
healthy condition. and is performing
its proper functions. The small, color
less particles that gather where the
roots Of the hair end in a soft pulp are
but the impurities thrown off from a
healthy skin. TO prevent too great a
waste and an unpleasant amount of
dandruff, the head should be OCCASION
ally washed with a solution of one
handful of salt in half n pint of rain
water. Rain-water is the most eff
cacious tonic in the world and the best
soaps are tar and CASTLE. Applica-
tons of the salt water keep the hair
from falling out.
Too much use of the comb at the
toilet is not desirable. as the scalp is
tender and the sharp teeth of the comb
irritate it. Firm, steady strokes of
the brush are far better.
The use of a hot iron on the hair is
injurious, though one moderately hot
may be used daily, with no other ef-
feet than to give it Il soft gloss. A
fairly large brush should be used,
neither very hard nor soft. with bris-
ties long enough to 20 through the
hair, not over it, reaching to the skin
itself, and so invigorating the scalp.
The hair should be divided i'm halves,
and brushed carefully and well for at
least ten minutes, night and morning.
Hair brushes may be cleaned by dip
ping the bristles into very hot water,
and plunging them Immediately after
ward into cold to prevent them from
softening and loosening. Use ammonia
in the water if neeessary.-Newark Ad-
vertiser.

PATCHWORK

At this season. when "shut ins'' are
apt TO find time hanging heavy on their
hands, suggestions for n new kind of
patchwork that possesses the advan-
tage of covering both sides, wadding
and quilting, all at the same time. IOay
well be passed on for the benefit of
those who do this kind of work. -rhe
directions, as sent in by a Sunshine
friend are: Cut pieces of silk about
four and one-half inches square t.irn
and haste down each of the four sides,
leaving squares of four inches. Tlen
fold them over %diagonally, NAL ing
three-cornered pieces; insert a piece of
wadding the same size and shape, and
basic the edges together. Four of
these triangles overhanded MAKE n
square block. The effect is good when
one triangle of each block is of black,
of white or some uniform color, and
the remaining two of any color. In
joining the blocks together the blocks
should be in corresponding position TO
make a regular pattern.
The bias lines of two of the silk
pieces that go next each other can
first be run together by hand or ma
chine on the wrong side. and then
folded over, padded and basted. This
avoids having to overland the bias
sides, with danger of stretching.-Ih hill

NIGHTCAP DRINKS.

"Never go to bed chilly" warned a
physician. 'There is always hot wa
ter to drink when everything else fails,
and that will do the work of warming
up the stomach and sending a glow
through the whole body. You can do
better than plain hot water; keep a
small bottle of capslcum at hand, and
eight to ten drops of that in a cupful
of sweetened water makes an admir-
abla nightcap. More than that guam
tity would be unpalatably hot for most
tastes. Hot milk is an ideal bedtime
beverage and 70 is matted milk, beef
tea or cocoa. Many a woman finds
that something warm in the stomach
means a good nights rest, and it would
