Worth Over 900.
Samuel S. Brown died last Deem
Der. He left an estate scattered all
the way between Pittsburg, New York
and New Orleans which is conserva'
lively estimated at $20,000,000. He
also left a will which is the bone OF
contention.
Mrs. Brown, young widow of the
dead magnate's only son, had been
told that she was to be his bene
ficiary. A goodly portion Of the
estate was to have been hers. Yet
when the will was read, she found
herself cut Off with a paltry batch OF
brewery bonds, and these to go should
she remarry.
But Miss Lewis, bitter enemy Of the
millionaire's daughter-in-law, bene
flied to the extent of a quarter of 9
million and more. She had already
supplanted the beautiful Kentucky
belle as the head of the old mans
household before his death. That wa!
the last straw; then came the oper
breach.

young women came into the life o.

sons previous to planting with straw
berries and some such crop as early
cabbage, followed by crimson clover to
be fall plowed and the land immedi-
ately sown to buckwheat or rye for a
winter cover crop. The following
spring, after blowing. says the Orange
Judd Farmer, should be a safe time
to set the berry plants. From then
forward frequent rotation of short
period crops will keep the field free,
particularly If the land is more or less
bare in late spring and early summer,
when the eggs are laid.

COST OF PRODUCTION.
Which Department Is Paying
Him Profit.

Before any man engaged in business
of any kind can know whether or not
his business is paying him a profit
above the cost of production, he must
determine what is the cost Of produce
ton. This Is always done by mer-
chants and manufacturers, and rarely
done by farmers. Yet there is no class
of business men who need careful ac-
counts more than the farmer II he
wishes to prosper and not merely drift.
For the farmer, who Is in reality con-
Quoting several businesses at once,
may be losing In one department what
he is making In another. He depends
upon the size of his bank account or
the condition of the family mortgage
to measure his success. One man who
had L keeping his books on the
barn door plan for number OF years
was induced to make accurate accoun.

| farm. He found that his beef cattle.
his hogs and his wheat field were all
losing ventures; that the dairy paid
fair profit, and that the poultry de-
partment was the most profitable oil
all. Who can deny in the face OF such
a revelation that knowledge Is power?
A great many farmers would like to
know what bushel of corn costs, or
gallon of milk. or pound OF live pork.

ignorant to get down to business and

granted and they were furnished with
good arms. Their idea was to reach
some New Grenadian settlement and
procure aid there. T he party was
now reduced to nineteen persons and
the march was resumed. The Gre

had built a small craft; but it was

Enslis:, the World Language.

The new world language, Esperanto
seems to have already won more advo-
Gates than the older Volapuk. No
manufactured language, however,
seems to have much chance in COM
petition with English, which long ago
displaced French as the most useful
and widely. spoken language and which
is gaining faster than ever in all parts
Of the world. Quite recently the Ger
man government has ordered that all
railway officials and employees must
learn to speak English. In Antwerp
also the authorities are urging all
classes to study English and are pro-
viding special facilities in the public
schools; the city has become almost
an English-speaking port" In Japan
all school children are now obliged
to learn our language. A few years
hence tourists from this country will
be able to get along there as easily
as on a trip at home. With Great
Britain, India, Australia, Canada, the
United States and large sections OF
Africa using English, what hope Is
there for any other language?

THINGS TO KNOW.


TO DARKEN BROWN BOOTS
Rub all over with a piece Of clean
white flannel wetted with ammonia.
Give two applications and then polish
with the usual brown polish.
FOR THE COOK.-When weighing
treacle for cooking purposes, well -four
the scale first, and the treacle will run
OF quite easily, leaving no sickness
behind. @ VS.
WHEN WASHING SILK STOCK
INGS.-Either colored or black, never
use soap; warm bran water should be
used, and the stockings should be
squeezed or run through the wringer
and dried in the shade.
A GOOD CEMENT FOR GLASS
Can be made in the following way:
Melt little isinglass in spirits OF wine
and add a small quantity of water;
warm the mixture over the fire; when
thoroughly mixed and melted It will
form an almost transparent glue, and
will join glass almost invisibly.
TO BRIGHTEN COPPERWARE.-
Sprinkle little crushed borax on a
flannel cloth that has been wetted in
hot water and well soaped. This will
brighten the copper like magic. Rinse
and polish.-Chicago Tribune. .,

Qualltles.
sleeplessness. They act as kind OF
soporific If taken in small quantities
before retiring. They will be found
to be more appetizing if finely chopped
up and laid between two thin waters
or biscuits. Eaten in this way they
are also easily digested. The reason
so many people complain OF onions
disagreeing with them is that they
eat too much of the homely vegetable.
Onions are not intended to be eaten
en- masse. When they are taken raw
they should be thoroughly masticated,
or, better still, the juice OF the onion
should be pressed out and taken on
bread or as sauce.
In this form the onion is splendid
for liver complaints and acts in con-
sequence as purifier for dark and
muddy complexion.
An onion poultice will extract the
pain and heat from a scald or burn.
To make this poultice take certain
quantity of onions and crush them
and lay between cheesecloth and ap-
ply to the burn. s,.s
Onion syrup made in the following
manner will relieve the congestion In
cases of Group. Cut several raw
onions into slices, sprinkle the slices
with. granulated sugar and squeeze
out the juice. The dose is teaspoon
full every Is minutes until relief is
obtained. This syrup is also much
used In cases of bronchitis.
A good cook uses onions almost as
freely as she does salt, But the
onion is always disguised. or, rather,
1t is merely the Juice, and not the
pulp, that is tasted. Sugar peas are
very much improved by boiling a
young onion with them, and the pasty
taste vanishes from macaroni If a

it to be the Savanna, which would lead

be left behind. The men did not take

but one days supply remaining. The
officers had some food left, and this
was divided among the party. Once
more the march was resumed, the
men struggling wearily through the
hills and dense forests.
Reluctantly Strain gave the order to
return to the river he had left and
there the first and last council of the
party was held. The conclusion was
reached that they were on the 1gle-
