Tea on the veranda, or tea on the
lawn, is always more dainty than In
doors. But there Is always trouble
with the alcohol lamp II the wind
blows. 1t has hayward fashion Of
throwing its flame anywhere, but under
the kettle, so that with guests waiting
for the indispensable pun of steam 1t
seems that the kettle will never boil.
Some one has invented pretty remedy
for this inconvenience. a way OF thwart-
ing the puffs of the malicious zephyr.
1t Is a screen. a folding screen of glass,
which Is adjusted around the kettle and

New Volcanic Island Visited,

Officers of the revenue cutter service
were able to explore on July 20 the new
volcanic island in the Bogoslof group OF
the Boring sea. although 1t was still very
hot from the action Of the volcano which
threw 1t up ten days prior to that. A
great column of smoke and steam contin-
ued to rise over this newborn isle. At
the northern end the land rises abruptly
to 400 feet, and on the west to a height
of 700 feet. Notwithstanding that, the
surface was still warm and soft the ex-
plorerS assembled to the summit.

To Clean Hard Wood.

Spread parraffin oil on the soiled
woodwork and let it stand for an hour
or more to soften the dirt, then wash
with soap and warm water and wipe
dry.
Next rub on mixture of paraff1n oil
and urpentine-one-third turpentine
and two-thirds oil. Polish with soft
old flannel. Let it rest an hour or two,
then polish with soft old linen.
If the surface is very dull, dirty and
scratched, instead of washing with
soap and water, add more oil and
sprinkle powdered rotten stone over it.
Rub gently and regularly, first with a
circular motion and then with the
grain of the wood. When the surface
is smooth and bright wipe off the rotten
stone and finish as you would after
washing with soap and water.

Patching Stock.

Weight Is the main object Of the
farmer in fattening stock for market,
and this weight Is easiest obtained by
feeding corn in order to produce fat.
Farmers have long been taught by ex-
perience that fat is desirable quality,
and that 1t adds to the attractiveness
of a carcass on the stall. 1t has been
demonstrated at the experiment sta
lions, however, that the weight can be
secured at less cost, with a greater pro-
portion Of lean interspersed with the
fat, by feeding a heterogeneous ration
which means that, in addition to a lib.
eral supply Of corn, an animal should
receive a variety Of food that Is not SC
rich In oil, starch and sugar as is corn
This fact is worthy Of consideration.

The weight of horse Is an import
ant Item in estimating his value for
draft purposes, for the fine-boned horse,
with well-developed muscles, may do as
much work as the heavy-boned one for
a short time, and is even better for road
purpose. But In blowing, or other
heavy, steady drawing. the light horse
is less useful. Then, In price, the
weight is an important item. If good
horse weighs over 1000 pounds he may
possibly sell for as much as 81 per

Worse Than Splitting on the Walks

Worse Than Splitting on the Walks.
An observant citizen said: II note
that here and there some one seems
to forget that there is an ordinance
against splitting on the walks. But I
find something much worse, and that
is banana peelings on the walks. The
person who will with malice and fore
thought, or just out or pure cussed-
ness, or what is just as bad, mere
foolishness, drop banana peelings on
a sidewalk, ought to be looked after.
That kind of people ought not to be
allowed on the street.
