THE MAN THAT WHISTLES.
Merry Tune on the Lips Means :
Cheerful Heart.

Did you ever meet man who was
an habitual whistler and yet thor
ough scamp? No! The whistler usu-
ally is a cheerful fellow, and lawless-
ness and smiles seldom travel hand
in hand.
The old song says, "Whistle and
I'll come to you, my lad," and it is
true. The man whose inner spirit
sings as it goes has attracted the
maid from time immemorial.
In summing up mans most de-
sirable qualities, women usually men,
ton strength, which is a physical
characteristic, and truth, which is
spiritual. But cheerfulness is the
mental attribute most in demand:
And if he is a cheerful man, it usu-
ally follows he Is an honest man.
The cheat, the coward, the blackleg,
are not addicted to the open heart
and the CHEEKY whistle. - y. ~ ~

Woman in Comparatively Good Health.

New York.-The World, of this city,
recently published sensational story
TO the effect that Mrs Mary Baker G..
Eddy. the revered founder and head
OF the Christian Science church, was
extremely feeble, physically and men
tally, and seemingly in the shadow of
death.
The allegation was made that the
daily drive seemingly taken by Mrs.
Eddy through the streets of Concord,
N. H., her home was a fraud The
World stated that ostensibly Mrs.
Eddy makes this daily public appear
ance, dressed in velvets and ermine,
to show her followers that she is in
perfect health. 1t is not Mrs. Eddy,
but an impersonator, trained and cos
tuned for the part, who appears in the
exhibition drive
The article continued:
This imrersonator is now known
to be Mrs. Parmelia J. Leonard, of
brooklyn, head of the Christian Sci
ence church in that borough.
Mrs. Leonard has been an inmate
at Mrs. Eddy's home at Concord for
the last three years.

understudy to Mrs. Eddy, and has
impersonated the head of the Chris

DOUBT FACTS OF HISTORY.
Persons So Fond of the Miraculous
That Questions Are Easily Raised.

The love of the miraculous is
enough to keep alive the belief that
the accepted facts of history concern
ing a person who has greatly inter-
ested the world either by his life or
his death are all wrong. Within 20
years a big book has been published
in this country to demonstrate that
Marshal Ney was not shot in the gar

dwelt in North Carolina.
For some years there flourished in
Germany man who declared himself
to be the son of the duke of Reich

the next out Of the same piece of
land.
Sand and peaty ground form the
ideal soil for the cranberry, and in
stead of fertilizing, the grower is
obliged to give the vines or bushes lib
eral coatings of sand.
1t takes money and patience to pre-
capital in the venture deserves fair
return for his prod It costs not
less than $500. and as high as $500
an acre, to get the bog ready. Then
five years must elapse before there is
any crop sufficient to give a return.
But after this it is all profit, for the
shrubs live and bear endlessly, get
ting better all the time.
Nothing could be simpler than
planting cranberry bushes. A small
handful of twigs is twisted together,
and thrust deeply into the sand They
need no tending, but take root at
once, and within year send out rum
ners. The planting is done in. rows
eight or ten inches apart. Gradually
the spaces between the rows fill up,
and soon the whole bog is one field of
growing cranberries.
Flooding the bog answers the dual
purpose of giving the cranberry the
moisture which is an essential part of
it's life. and protecting it from frosts
of early autumn.
There are two ways of picking the
berries. One is the old-fashioned,
the other the new.
In the primitive method all that is
needed is picker with nimble fingers.
He or she sits or kneels in the moist
sand, plunges both hands, with fingers
slightly spread, till the hands become
a sort of rake, into the green vines,
and with a quick movement strips the
berries from the vine, and losses them
into pan. When the pan is filled
it is emptied into a larger measure
containing third Of a bushel. The
size is uniform, and the picker is
paid by the pail.
The old-time method of picking is

Mrs. Eddy from her bed would have
meant almost certain death to the en-
feebled woman
PowerIess in Strong Hands.

Mrs. Eddy is powerless in the
hands of designing persons. They alb
solutely control her, and their en-
ployment of Mrs. Leonard's services
is for deep purpose. Just what that
purpose is may be easily imagined.
The World has collected a mass of
facts bearing directly upon the sur
prising conditions that surround the
hidden life of Mrs. Eddy.
These facts are quite apart from
the tenets of Christian Science, so
called, and will appeal as forcibly to
fair-minded members of the cult as
to the general public.
Many millions of dollars-just how
many the records fail to show-have
passed into Mrs. Eddy's personal pos
session since the founding Of the
Christian Science cult. Millions Of
her books have been sold, and each
book has yielded her a royalty of one
dollar.
From the mother church in Boston
she yearly receives a great sum, con-
tributed by devotees in all parts Of
tlfs world in the form of annual dues.
One of her closest friends and follow
ers estimates Mrs. Eddy's fortune at
100000, and her annual income at
100000.
"Of this vast sum there is practi-
cally no trace. There is no public rec
ord of it's investment, no clew to it's
distribution.
Her financial agent and cousin,
Frederick N. Ladd, secretary of the
Loan and Trust Savings bank, of Con-
cord, while refusing details, has said
that Mrs. Eddy's estate is surprisingly
small, she having expended the bulk
of her fortune in charities
