"You may keep your feet from slipping,
And your hands from evil deeds,
But to guard your tongue from tripping,
What unceasing care it needs!
Be you old or be you young,
o, beware,
Take good care,
Of the tittle-tattle, tell-tale tongue!'
The poet perhaps didn't realize that
our feet slip, our hands perform evil
deeds and our tongue keeps tripping
because our hearts are bad, so bad that
the inspired writer, Jeremiah, says of it.
"The heart is deceitful above all things
and desperately wicked. Who car know
it," If W. give the heart to God and lie,
him cleanse it from all sin through the
precious blood of Christ we will have
little trouble with our tongue. How

FREE FARM SCHOLARSHIP.
Offer to Some Bright Boy Who
Wants to Improve His knowledge
Of Agriculture.

A free scholarship in scientific and
practical agriculture is open to some
young man who can demonstrate his
fitness for the privilege. e. J. Hol-
lister, the Dean of the Winona Agri-
cultural Institute, at Winona Lake,
Indiana, announces that he will give
this free scholarship, providing for
tuition and living expenses for the
two school years. Thus it will be
seen that the young man who wins
this scholarship will get through with
comparatively little expense to him
self. The course given in the Insti-
tute embraces agriculture and hOrti-
culture. The student will not be al
lowed to take up any special line,
either in the practice or the acquiring
of these kindred sciences. However,
special privileges may be granted
where the student shows a decided
taste for specializing. Competition is
open to young men over sixteen years
of age from any State in the Union,
of good character, endorsed by two
well known citizens. Those who wish
to compete should write to the Dean
not later than August list, giving
brief history of their life and five
reasons why they desire to take up
agricultural science. The work is
simplified so very much at the Insti-
tute that candidates having a Com
mon School education should be able
to succeed, and after graduating have
an opportunity to take up practical
work at other points where the Dean
is now directing the development of
small farms or reclamation projects
and where he is very much in need
Of the assistance of trained young
men. By reason of this necessity, he
offers this scholarship.

were no other considerations or re
turns. The writer, as has everyone
else on a farm, has seen co, kerels fly
at one another time and time again,
tearing flesh and feathers with beak
and cutting with spurs. Before the
combatants could be separated there
has been a disfgured comb perhaps
blinded eye and generally cut up
bird. This is the essence of cruelty.
After caponizing, the habits of the
bird are entirely changed. Their dis
position is quiet and peaceable, habits
mild and tending to a solitary life
and perfectly contented wherever
situated. They no longer chase about
the farm spelling for a fight and rum
ning'off flesh as fast as put on. They
no longer arouse the whole neighbor
hood from morning until night by
their incessant growing, but, on the
contrary become models of good dis
positions, leading a quiet life that will
surely bring large returns to the
raiser. An operation that does away
with so much Unborn evil can not be-
considered cruel.

Called ShOnts' Bluff

Railroad men are telling of a recent
experience of Mr.. Shonts, the head of
the Panama Canal Commission. Shonts,
as president of the Glover Leaf Sys-
TEN, was travelling on pass. He was
approached by conductor, who ap-
peared to be about as husky a speci-
men of manhood as Shonts s,.and who
told him he would have to pay extra
fare or cease occupying the drawing
room Of the parlor car. Shonts pro-
duced his pass, but the conductor said
the agreement between the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad and the Pennsyl-
vania System was that passholders
could not occupy drawing-rooms I'M
less they paid extra fare. Shonts re-
marked that he would not pay extra
fare. The conductor declared Shonts
would pay or be put out. Shonts man
aged to conceal his feelings well
enough to inquire with a show of
calmness who would conduct the eject
ment. The conductor calmly answered
that he would undertake the job.
Shonts said he did not believe he could
do it. The conductor then told Shonts
to produce the money in ten minutes
or be elected. The conductor went
away and returned on schedule time.
Shonts paid.

Celery for the Home Garden.

The waning of summer acts as a
gentle reminder to the home gardener.
that in order to have a crop of celery for
winter use, it is desirable to get the
plants into the ground before August
has too far advanced. If the celery
seed has been sown in April or May,
the young plants should, by August
first, be in proper shape for trans
planting. If this has not been done,
stocky plants may be obtained at the
seed store.
Celery culture, to be successful
must rely upon deep soil, the deeper
the better, for thereby the roots are
not dried out as is the case where
the tiny rootlets come close to the
surface in mad search for moisture.
Celery plants require that the roots
be cool, with plenty of water-but not
stagnant water. 1t is considered adj
visable, therefore, before planting, to
prepare the ground thoroughly and
deeply.
Having the ground in good, work
able condition, the next step is plant
ing out. The easiest way to do this
is to make a sil-inch deep furrow,
filled in with three inches of fine
well-rotted manure Of rich compost
The furrow is then filled in nearly
level with the surface with good soil
mixed with manure. Dwarf, self

EROCKS FOR THE YOUNG GIRL.
What the Little Folks are Wearing
this Summer.
BERTHA BROWNING.

Batiste Of all descriptions is the
material most in vogue for young
girls dresses and children's frocks,
of dressy order. Taffetas are-also used
usually of fancy type showing small
checks or equally small broche eff
fects on plain or changeable
ground, and in medium tints. For
ordinary wear there are pique, linen
and neutral fabrics fashioned into
frocks of simplicity and trim style.
The dressy gowns for young girls are
simple too, but not without some de
gree of elegance. Many of the skirts
have one or two fiounces about the
lower edge and these are often set
on with deep bands Of embroidery or
lace. Tucks and ruffles are much
used while the knife plaitings of
batiste are much favored garniture
for frocks of dressy order.
A great simplicity pervades the
linen, pique and light wooden suits
for girls. These usually have a plain
skirt trimmed only with bias folds of
the material. The jacket is a short,
narrow semi-fitted one with basques
never exceeding four inches in length.
Girls from twelve to sixteen do not
wear the corselet skirt nor are they
suitable for any but fully developed
figures. The Partisan girl attains the
age of sixteen before she is considered
sufficiently developed to wear such a
style.
FOR THE TOTS.
For younger children from five to
twelve, the same materials are used
with the exception Of taffetas. For
these, the skirt is usually completed
by a blouse while tucks and very
narrow frilling are the favorite trim
ming. The best frock may be of eye
let embroidery having a ribbon sash.

1t is q discovery, which, if it "pans
out" is of immense importance to
agriculture. There are many crops,
such as tobacco and tomatoes, which
require excessive proportions of pot
ash, while all complete fertilizers con-
tain liberal percentages. Potash is
one of the trinity which makes plant
growth possible-potash, nitrogen and
phosphorus.

The Dentists Bill.

When Congressman John Sharp Will
liams visits New York he never fails
to look in at small kindling-wood
shop presided over by an old negro who
was formerly retainer in the Will
liams family. On his latest call he
found the old man unhappy.

the Democratic leader.

blanching celery may be selected for
the home garden, and this should be
planted in rows two and a half feet
apart, and not closer than six inches
in the row. The tall sorts take up a
good deal Of room in the garden.
The best day for planting celery IS
a dull one, when the sun will not
have a chance to burn the roots of
the young plants. 1t might be we'll to
soak these before removing from the
seedbed or box, so that the roots will
more quickly mingle with the soil in
the new home. Another good plan is
to trim off the tops-say one-third-
and dip the roots in water. AS re-
suit of this the plants will send out
strong healthy roots, before throwing
energy into the tops.

This merely surrounds the waist
without being drawn in snugly and is
knotted at one side with short ends
while long loops and ends finish the
other side. The ribbon used for this
is not wide, number 16 being the
usual choice. The only silks used
for children are tussah and OCCASION
ally foulard, the latter plain and in
ecru tint.
TRIM COATS FOR SMALL FOLKS.
Coats for small folks are con-
constructed bit differently from
those worn by older girls. These are
cut with loose front as we'll as back,
but at the same time it is narrow.
In proportion the basque is longer,
often reaching One-third down the
skirt and retaining it's narrow shape
less cut. The sleeves are of simple
coat style being of full length while
dress sleeves usually end at the ell
bow.
A separate wrap which is much in
vogue among young girls is the loose
medium length coat of shepherds
plaid. This is of some soft wool
favorite being white lined with black
VI GREY. Lie Ouly duOruuleuC cOu-
sists of the fabric or pearl buttons
down the front. The coat is worn with
every sort of dress from the knocka-
bout frock to the dressy afternoon or
Sunday outfit. Some Of the same style
coats bit different in shaping are be-
ing worn by young and older women
They do not appear so we'll upon any
one as upon the girl for whom they
were originally intended. Taffeta
coats of similar style are also worn
but are not so popular nor suitable
fer youthful wearers.
LINGERIE HATS FASHIONABLE
Hats for the young folks are mostly
broad and Of the capeline order. The
straws are supple so that they may
be readily pinched up into any sort
of shape. The fabric hat-that is
to say of batiste or linen, is of broad
shape and very becoming. These are
more popular than last year if pos
sible and may be worn upon almost
any occasions according to the hat.
These are sitter than the straw hats
because they are made over wire
frames.

PROFIT IN CAPONS.
Caponize the chicks and you have at
once laid the foundation for a hand
some profit in a short time to come.
Outside of the cardinal points of prof
it, the simplicity of the operation
when proper instruments are used
recommends itself to every one. A
boy ten years old can readily perform
the operation, and any one can soon
become an expert.
To the poultry raiser it can be said
that there is no source Of profit bring
ing larger returns for the outlay than
raising capons, the profit in great
majority of cases being over 100 per
cent. The question of assured profit
is an all-cOnvincing argument in any
line and prominently SO to the poul-
trymen whose losses are added to from

select such cockerels as you intend to
caponize these should be from two to
four months old combining them in
clean airy coop or room without
food or water. The best time to con-
fine them is at early morning, as their
long fast will then end about noon of
the following day, at which time the
operation is performed. Should the
day be cloudy or wet do not caponize
them, but let the operation go until
you have a bright and fair day. 1t
is necessary that you have all the
light possible in the matter. Now

PROPER INSTRUMENTS.
1t is a matter of Importance to have
proper instruments for caponizing, and
the more is read of the literary effu-
sions appearing lin numerous papers
to-day touching caponizing instruments
the more need there is to caution the
inexperienced operator While it is
not cruel to caponize, it is inhuman to
butcher or to cause unnecessary pain.
NOT A CRUEL OPERATION.

in caponizing, feeling it to be cruel to

Capons and Caponizing.

Capons are aptly termed the "finest
chicken meat in the world" for there
is nothing growing feathers which is
their superior, If equal. A capon is
neither rooster nor hen-it is nothing
else than a capon. After removing
the organs of reproduction from the
cockerel, its nature becomes entirely
changed. The birds take on a more
rapid growth, are more tame, awkward
in carriage and always exceedingly
lazy; they grow a very heavy and
beautiful plumage, the comb and
wattles cease to grow, the spurs do
not develop as in the cockerel, and
being cast off by both rooster and hen
the capon soon shows a fondness for
the society of little chicks.
