The Dues.
One of the unique features of the
Society is the payment of membership
fees which consists merely OF some
kind act which will bring sunshine"
to some one. 1t may be only an ex-
change of books, pictures or flowers, or
It may bring more material beneht. In
one State well known woman has
paid her dues by educating some boy
as long as sire lives instead OF placing
costly monument over her son 5
grave. In nearly every State in the
Union the Society owns wheel chair
given in memory of some dear one.
These are passed around to crippled
and HELPLESS ones and are constantly
in use.
Though the Society has never solic-
tied funds it is estimated that 100000
has been given to carry on its work.
From the International headquarters,
90 Fifth Avenue. New York City,
nearly 100000 has been expended in
the past five years to make others
happy.

The greatest evil the Society has to

every appeal of Sunshine receives has
made 1t possible for these grafters tc

WHEN CLEANING THE ORCHARD
How the Work IS Getting Brush out
May Be Simplfied.

Everybody knows what tiresome
and slow task it is to clean the brush
out of an orchard with any kind of
conveyance. When it has to be picked
up it is about the worst work on the
farm. 1t is even worse than churn-
ing with an old-fashioned dash churn.
But one of our new men on the farm,
says a correspondent of the Rural
New Yorker, has made an implement
with which two men and team can
get it out easily and ten times as fast
as with any other contrivance | have
ever seen. He went to the woods
and cut small tree with crotch,
as shown, of tough wood The limbs
he left six feet long and the body
part IL feet. 1t was about four inches
in diameter at the crotch, and he
hewed the straight part down, so it
was about two and half or three
inches at the other end. He then cut
the ends of the limbs little slanting
on the under side so as to run smooth
ly along and not catch in the ground.
Across the crotch he bolted a piece
of plank " inches thick and six
inches wide firmly TO each limb, and

Nearly all varieties of pears are
better if ripened indoors. The prop
er time to gather pears is shown by
the ease with which the stem parts
from the branch, when the fruit is
slightly lifted.
We find the much abused Keiffer
pear very fine for canning The can
neries in these parts put up large
quantities of them. Properly cooked
and canned they are crisp and tender;
and, too, the trees are regular and
prolific fruit bearers and very hardy.
Bulletin No. 222, by Prof Petit, is
one of the best authorities yet pub
lished on spraying against codling-
moth on apples. Write for a copy to

ricultural College post office, Michi-
gan. Thorough spraying will now de-
stroy the second brood of the moth.
AS a general thing Except in south
ern localities) it is usually safer to
plant fruit trees in the spring, espe-
cially tender kinds like the peach,
the plum, etc, If desired, apples,
pears, etc, may be set in the early
fall Even if trees are not to be set
this fall, it is often good plan to
buy needed nursery stock now, and
then heel it in at home until spring.
Windfall apples should be destroyed
or fed as soon as possible. The or

which drop to the ground in windfali

The, Pain
Family

You know them; they are
numerous, and make their
presence felt everywhere. The
names of the family are Head
ache, Toothache, Earache,
Backache, Stomach ache, Neu-
ralgia, etc. They are sentinels
that warn you of any derange-
ment of your system. When
the brain nerves become ex-
hausted or irritated, Headache
makes you miserable; if the
stomach nerves are weak, in
digestion results, and you
double up with pain, and if the
more prominent nerves are at
fected, Neuralgia simply makes
life uncomfortable. The way to
stop pain is to soothe and
strengthen the nerves. DIR.

BONI WANTS MONEY.
Anna Gould Can Buy a Divorce from
Her Husband.

Paris. Feb 14-Count Bonf dc
Castellane had a long conference to-
day with the lawyers of the countess,
his wife. This was one of several
meetings at which the two parties
concerned have carefully gone over
the financial features of the case, with
the view of determining the exact
form of the future procedure and ulti-
mate decree.
In the meantime. the countess bill
of complaint is being prepared, but
has not yet been filed, as the form
will depend upon the pending con
ferences over financial affairs. If
these are satisfactorily adjusted, the
countess bill of complaint is likely to
be materially modified so as to con-
tain only Incompatibility or other
grounds within the statute but avoid
ing allegations OF scandalous na-
ture.
However, the conferences are not
for the purpose of reconciliation, as
all concerned, including the count and
countess and their lawyers, appear to
recognize the fatiIity of any further
attempt to reunite the family. The
present indications, therefore, are that
after the parties reach a financial un-
derstanding, the bill viii be modified
and a decree entered by mutual con-
sent.
The decree probably Will be for a
separation, as the French law permits
such a decree being extended to a
complete divorce after three years.
Thus far, however, the countess has
not decided whether the bill shall ask
for a complete annulment of her mar
1iage. Her friends are rather inclined
TO q RESTRICT the rdecree to a separation,
as this would prevent the remarriage
of either party within three years,
thus putting an end to the rumor that
the countess intended to marry again,
which her friends characterize as alb
surd.
Until the bill is finally framed and
fled the courts viii not formally pos
sess the document explicitly setting
forth the grounds of action. AS re-
suit of the countess prima facie show
