Laborde, chief OF the military police,

twenty three OF his abettors, was shot.

THE ALFALFA PLANT.
IL Was Cultivated In Asia Long lie
fore the Christian Era.

Alfalfa Is n native of southwestern
Asia and five centuries prior 10 the
Christian era had been carried TO and
cultivated in southern Europe. The
Romans used and appreciated ii as a
feed for their chariot and war horses
before the birth OF Christ. From
Italy, in which country its growth has
been maintained continuously 10 the
present day, it found its way into
Spain and France.
The Spanards during the Spanish in
vasion carried il into South America
and Mexico. During the middle of
the nineteenth century II was intro
duced into this country through Cali
forna by the Chilcans. Since then 1t
has gradually spread eastward until
today there is probably not state or
territory in the Union in which this
Oldest of cultivated forage plants IL

plant has come TO us from Spain, Iii
rectly or indirectly, it is known AS
alfalfa, while if brought from other
countries of Europe (and IL is in isOlat-
ed instances here and there) it is gen
orally called lucerne, from valley In
Switzerland by the same name in
which II grows well and In large quan-

not rich; to study hard. think quickly,

VALUE OF OLIVE OIL.
IL Il Good Either Taken Internally
or Used Externally.


Various forms and kinds Of oils form
large stone in the foundation OF
beauty culture. Only the thoughtful
observer realizes their importance and
that they were Indispensable TO the
bellies Of old time-to the Greeks and
Romans and eastern beauties OF an
cient days.
Olive oil was the most luxurious, as
we'll as the most common. IL was TAX
en- internally and externally; they rub
bed with il, bathed In Il, drank il and
used II In hundred ways. Olive oil is
still olive oil, though not SO many peo-
pie recognize its value except as an in
gredient Of salad dressing.
1t is excellent for the digestion and
may be taken in doses Of from one to
nine or more teaspoonfuls day. Some
people find II is distasteful taken clear.
In that case il may be disguised in
wine or lemonade or some pleasant
drink, which Of Itself should agree with
the individuals system.
Olive oil Is a good flesh builder. If
rubbed into the skin it not only accom-
plishes this with faithful applications,
but makes the skin soft and velvety.
Being a vegetable oil, ii has absolutely
no tendency to stimulate a growth Of
hair.
Olive oil is used in hundred other
ways, but the sum OF its virtues lies
simply In this-it is gentle in its action,
soothing, nourishing and Strengthening.

The Lay Of the Hen.

Investigation Of the capacity OF hens
TO lay eggs results in the discovery
that the egg production OF hens de-
creascs considerably after the age OF
four years. Thus a hen lays at the
age of one year about 90 eggs; at the
age OF two years. about 10; at the
age Of three years. about 1885, at the
age OF four years. about 10; at the
age of five years, about so, and at the
age of six years, about 80. These fig.
urcs go TO show that hens should never
be kept in the poultry yard more than
four years, for after the lapse OF this
time they do not yield "A proper return
