nIesibie signatures.

Among a lot Of letters 1 received in
answer to an advertisement" said a
business man, there was one that in
cllnod me toward its writer except
that couldn't read the signature.
Every word in the body Of the letter
was clear. but the signature was IL
legible. / don't know how many peo-
ple there are who write plainly enough
until they come to write their own
name and then write that blindly.
suppose It IS more from force Of habit
than anything else, for they may be
otherwise the most careful people in
the world.
Every man should write his sigma
ture with perfect distinctness, SO that
it can be read easily and without mis-
take. by those unfamiliar with It, and
also as a mark of his own care and
eXactness.
zone letter that / received, its body
written, had its signature put on with
hand stamp. / didn't know just
what TO think Of this but It had at
least the merit Of perfect plainness."-

THE GARDEN KEYBOARD
,nlnoch ebonld he sown early.

Spinach should be sown early.
Sow artichokes for next years crop.
Sow early carrots as soon as the
ground can be worked.
Start the early cabbage at once Ia
pans or boxes in the house, in the cold
frame or in the open ground.
If young blackberry plants are to be
dug up It should be done before the
buds start.
For a very early crop sprout the seed
potatoes and plant on rich soil which
has never shown signs Of blight or
scab.
Peas win stand transplanting. There
fore they can be rushed along by
sprouting the seed in box of moist
sand in q warm cellar ami planting out
the little seedlings.
The making Of a good and spacious
lawn is a very practical consideration.
In home grounds the central feature is
the house. To scatter trees and bushes
over the area defeats the fundamental
purpose Of the place-the purpose to
make every part Of the grounds lead up
to the home end to accentuate its home
likeness. Keep the center Of the place
open. Plan. the borders. Avoid al
disconnected, cheap, patchy and curl
GUS effects.

Washington, y. Can idea Of much
interest 20 the producer and Consumer
Of milk and also the milk dealer is the
new paper bottles which are being
tested in Philadelphia and upon which
the bacteriologist Of the board OF
health is said to have reported favora-
bly,. These bottles, Of a conical shape,
handy for packing, are stamped out Of
heavy paper and put together with the
design Of being very strong. absolutely
tight ana waterproof and are then ster-
ilized. II Is claimed that milk con-
tanned in paper bottles keeps longer
than In glass. Among minor advan-
tages urged for the PAPER bottle is its
weight, which is very little In compari-
son with that Of the glass bottle. There
being no old bottles to collect, the car
rying capacity of milk delivery wagons
would be much increased. There would
be no loss through broken or unre-
turned bottles. AS to cost, the paper
bottles are estimated at a cent apiece
as against cents for pints and cents
for quarts in glass. Not the least valu-
able of all the results which the advO-
Gates Of the paper milk containers fore
see is the bottling Of the milk on the
/ dairy farm where it is produced in
stead Of at the city milk dealers es-

The Next Corn Crop.
From the persistency with which
corn is talked and written about this
spring il seems that the agricultural
world in general is set upon making
another big corn crop, and nothing
short of most unfavorable weather con
dltions can prevent it. All sorts Of good
advice are circulating. Farmers tell IN
their favorlte papers how they have
made or expect TO make a good crop
People have been educated In the Sc

rconomy Of heat and Health.

ECONOMY OF AhA
The average humidity in artihcially
heated houses is about 30 degrees; the
average temperature. 20 to "a degrees.
II has been found by conclusive tests
that a room with humidity Of GO
degrees and a temperature Of So de-
grees seems warmer and more com
Portable than room Of - degrees Of
heat and humidity OF 30 degrees. Dr.
Henry NJ. Smith says that if n room at
SO degrees is not warm enough for any
healthy person it is because the humid
ity is too. low, and water should be
evaporated to bring the moisture up TO
the right degree. In other words, wa
ter instead Of coal should be used TO
make rooms comfortable when the
temperature has reached 6S degrees.
AS water is cheaper than coal, the rule
should become popular one.-Chicago

rhe saw of the .IosquIto.


The bill Of tlie mosquito is a com
plex institution. II has a blunt fork
at the head and is apparently grooved.
Working through the groove and pro-
jecting from the angle of the fork is a
lance of perfect form sharpened with
line bevel. Beside It the most per
feet lance looks like q hand saw. on
either side Of the lance two saws are
arranged, with the points fine and
sharp and the teeth well defined and
keen The backs Of these saws play
against the lance. When the mosquito
alights, with its peculiar hum, it thrusts
its keen lance and then enlarges the
aperture with the two saws, which
play beside the lance until the forked
bill with its capillary arrangement for
pumping the blood can be inserted.
The saving process is what CRATES
upon the nerves Of the victim and
causes him to strike wildly at the
sawyer.
