STAYED MONTHS IN eep.
Remarkable Eccentricity Of Swedish
Theologian.

1t is seldom that we hear Of a
more eccentric man than was Prof.
Oedmann, a Swedish theologian,
who died q short time ago in Stock
holm. One time during a pro-
longed illness he was compelled to
remain in bed for many weeks, and
during this time conceived a liking
for lying snugly ensconced in warm
blankets, free from the caprices of
the weather and protected from the
perils of catching another cold. Aft
er his illness the professor was
seized with a ~senseless dread Of
catching cold, and insisted uDon
keeping his bedroom window closed
down tight, and from that time I'M
til his death spent practically cl of
his time in bed, where he did all
his regular work and ate his three
meals a day.
So very odd was he that in exam
ming written exercises by the stu
dents he refused to touch the paper
upon which they were written until
it had first been warmed over the
stove. 1t is claimed that the pro
f@essor's death was actually caused
by a visit from an old gentleman OF
a stormy day who desired an inter.
view with him. This latter Incl
dentally entered the chamber Of thu
professor with his clothes covered
with snow, a sight which aggra
waited the professor, and he ordered
his visitor to leave the room at once
Unfortunately, the visitor wa
quite deaf, and misunderstood him
approaching nearer to the bedsid
Of the angry professor. Herr Oed
mann became greatly alarmed, an,
in his frantic excitement broke
blood vessel and expired.

HOW he LOST HIS THUMB.

There are two stories Of the loss
Of Mr.. Corners thumb, a loss, by
the way, which gave him the nick
name Of "Fingey." One is that
when he was a young mar he was
painting the side of a boat on the
Buffalo water front. The boat
rocked, and the swinging scafold
caught Mr.. Corners thumb against
the side and crushed it. Another
story is that a fellow longshoreman
20 years ago had a new revolver, and
was locking around for a mark at
which to shoot. His wandering
glance caught Conners' attention
and irritated him. Corners doesn't
like indeeision in any one.
@What you'se lookin' fer?" he
asked.
GA mark to shoot at"
@Shoot at me t'um," said Con-
ners, sticking it up. The Buffalo
William Tell shot a little low for
the personal comfort Of the new
state chairman, the result being that
his thumb was shot off short. Since
then he has been "Fingey" Corners

The CATHEDRAL MASCOT.

High up in a troetop, with the
gray old arch Of st. Johns cathe-
dral as a bag, round for his bril-
liant plumage, sat a little scarlet
tanager. Along Cathedral Parkway
stood crowds of people listening
for the little fellow was singing
scarlet tanagers are all singers,
pleasing, persistent, vigorous sing,
ers.
"He is singing us a parting song,"
said one Of the listeners, ''for to-
morrow he and all his tribe are due
to go south. Down in the tropics
he has many relations. He stays
north from May through Septem-
Der"
"You are wrong there, friend.
That bird stays right there in a
little box back of my house all win
ter. The rest of his family may go
south, but he never" The speaker
was the caretaker, who lives in the
little frame house at the Cathedral
entrance.

"John," said Mrs. Hubberson,

Then he wobbled out into the

bitterly regretting that she had not
saved him from danger by knocking
him down with the feather buster.

CATTLE SMALL BUT eooD.
olminutive Breed to Be Fostered in
Algeria.

A valuable breed Of cattle, known
since the days of the Romans as the
"Guelma race" is being revived in
Algeria by the Guelma syndicate.
The syndicate has searched in the
remotest Arab settlement of the dis
trict, where no foreign blood has
yet been introduced, to find speci-
mems Of this incontestably valuable
race. Their efforts were crowned
with success, and now the syndicate
is the possessor Of fine producers
of the breed. The animals are of
diminutiye stature, and when COM
pared to the species known in Eu-
rope and America look like we'll
grown calves. The height of the
male varies from three feet eight
inches to three feet eleven inches,
and their weight does not exceed two
hundredweight. The female does
not attain more than three feet
five inches. Their conformation is
remarkable for the development of
the chest, which gives a short APP
pearance to the front limbs. The
head is relatively small, but express
sive, and the eyes are shaded by
long black lashes. The horns are
horizontally curved, and the coat
is Of an iron gray, more or less
dark These vigorous creatures are
very hardy and fine workers, very
quiet, and fatten easily. Their yield
of excellent meat is so per cent.

FIGHTING PEAcHTREEBORER
How This Pest of the Orchard May
Be Kept from Doing His De-
structive Work.

One of the best preventives to keep
the moth from laying eggs for the
peach tree bore is to draw away the
earth in the fall down to the crown of
the roots and coat the stem to one foot
above ground with a thick coat of lin
seed oil and white lead, without any
turpentine at all. But even when this
is done there will be found occasional
borers. Therefore, now is the time to
look over the orchard, and wherever a
gummy emulation is seen at the base
of tree the borer is at work and
should be cut out at once and all the
damaged bark and gum removed. Re-
peat the examination late in summer
and you can keep the orchard fairly
free from the borers. The next thing
in the bearing peach orchard will be
the fight against the curculio which
cause the fruit to be wormy. No
amount of spraying will do much for
this sucker, for he is not eating the
poison. The only way to fight him Is
to have a broad apparatus like an in
verted umbrella made with a light
frame covered with cotton cloth. A
slit on one side admits it round the
tree, and then a Earring of the tree
will cause the bitten fruit and the
bugs to fall into the receptacle; the
curculio will not attempt to fly, but
will feign death. Then turn the con-
tents into a pan of water on which
some kerosene has been poured. to
kill the insects. This Earring must
be kept up at intervals until the fruit
is more than half grown if you want
to avoid wormy peaches. Earring off
the bitten fruit will only make the re-
mainder better and the crop will not
be reduced, for the trees usually
over-bear.

ties of trees are greatly injured by
being cut back severely, but not so
the peach. Peach trees develop wood
with great rapidity, and so quickly
overcome the effects of severe cutting
back. Many of the old peach trees
on our farms could be made to bear
good crops again by being cut back.
In our illustration we Show the re-
suits of cutting back as practiced on
an old peach tree at the Ohio expert
ment station. This tree, illustrated In
the corner of our illustration was al
ready an old tree and waning in vigor
when the station purchased the
ground on which it stands. In the
spring of 1905 it was severely cut
back and left.
The cutting back was effective In
starting new growths, and in the fall
Of the same year 1t looked as shown
in the cut. To all appearances it has
renewed its youth.

The Things we Eat

Too much meat Is absolutely hurt.
full to the body. Sailors ON board OF
ships get scuryy when their supply of
vegetable food is exhausted. The d.
gestive organs of the human body de-
mand vegetable food, and If we don't
eat enough vegetables we pay for it
dearly.
Nature gave us wheat, and In every
kernel of wheat nature has distrib-
uted iron. starch, phosphorus, lime,
sugar, salt and other elements neces-
sary to make bone, blood and MUSCLE.
EGG-O-SEE is wheat scientifically
prepared. Cooked and made into
crisp flakes, EGG-O-SEE goes into the
stomach ready for the digestive or
gans to convert 1t into LIES giving sub
stances with but little effort.
EGG-0-SEE eaters are a clean-eyed,
strong and happy lot. The proof of a
pudding and the proof of EGG-O-SEE
Is in the eating. EGG-O-SEE besides
being solid nourishment is most pal
atable. Every mouthful is a joy to
the taste and direct benefit to your
health. A 10-cent package of EGG-O-
SEE contains ten liberal breakfasts.
Our friends advertise us. They eat
EGG-O-SEE for while They grow
strong. They are well and happy and
they pass the good word along.
Next time you send to the grocer's
tell your boy or girl to bring home a
package of EGG-O-SEE. Have your
chiIuen eat EGG-O-SEE. 1t is their

A Three-Fold Plant Disease.

Science is bringing out many things
that we have little understood, in all
departments of life. Diseases that
have been considered separate are
now found to be identical. The latest
in the fruit line seems to be the dis
covery that the anthracnose Of the
sweet pea, the bitter rot of the apple
and the ripe rot of the grape, are all
the same diseases. Careful expert
ments have been made to determine
this. One kind of plant has been sue.
cessfully inoculated with the disease
from the other kinds. Henceforth,
people growing any Of these plants
will be warned in time and will take
measures to prevent the spread OF
the antnracnose of the sweet pea to
the apple or the grape and also will
take measures to prevent the disease
spreading from the apple and the
grape. Probably, says the Farmers
Review, the apple is the greatest dis
heminator of the disease, as 1t is very

TREES IN THE DooRYARD.
Discussion Of Varieties to Be Used in
Beautifying the Grounds
About the House.

In reply to a correspondent who
writes to inquire about the beautify-
Ing OF the grounds about his house,
the Ohio Farmer, suggests the inclos-
Ing with a snug screen the northerly,
back corner of the dooryard. Being
shaded by the house the corner could
| not be used for warm-blooded flowers
and should be kept wholly In grass.
However, two or three rhododendrons
or single Chinese magnolia would
thrive nicely set in the angle, leaving
most Of the narrow lawn free.
l would plant tree north of the
front corner of the house, three feet
from the fence and in line with the
front OF the house. This tree may be
cut-leafed weeping birch, catalpa
speciosa, or a cut-leafed alder. The
last is very beautiful, round-headed
tree, and is not often seen in Ohio.
On the other side of the yard, near
the side but ten feet farther from the
front of the house, large shade tree
should be planted. 1t should branch
low so that the children can climb
into 1t, and should be rapid grower.
A Western Beauty apple tree did ex-
cellent service along these lines and
still stands south of my house, al
though partly carried away by wind

,igh and as many feet broad. An Ohio

II purely ornamental tree Is de-
sired, my choice would be Schwed-
erii Norway maple. This is as good
grower as the plain Norway but
every young shoot in the spring is of

TO carry the top above a carriage
drive trim up the several branches,

the east might be compelled, by tying
10 stakes, to grow horizontally out
from the trunk 80 inches and then be
allowed or trained to grow nearly per-
pendicularly, making an available seat
after half dozen years.
The front of the yard may be plant
ed by placing beyond the sidewalk at
each front corner a horse chestnut,
one with white blossoms, the other
With red. This would remove the cen
Ter of the tree some six or more feet
from the front edge of the lot and en-
large the lot to that extent. 1t would
