Cultivation of Lettuce.

The cultivation of lettuce truly
belongs to diversifcation, and no
truck garden is complete unless
lettuce is given a prominent place,
especially in the southern gardens.
Besides an excellent demand for
lettuce in all southern cities there
IS a constant demand in all north
ern cities and towns throughout
the months of November, Deem
Der, January, February and March.
Many instances have been reported
where $500 have been realized from
the sale of lettuce from a single
acre. Texas annually imports let
tuCe every winter from Louisiana.
There IS no apparent need for this,
as Louisiana has no advantage over
Texas in growing lettuce to perfec-
ton. About ali markets north or
south quote lettuce from 25c to 81
per dozen heads, huctuating ac-
cording to supply and demand.
The growing of lettuce is very
simple and success is easily obtain
ed by following a few of the minor

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their UnceasinS Work Keeps Us Strong
And Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part
of this Impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain in
the back, headache, nervousness.
hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy,
deposits in the urine, etc. But if
you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
G. K. Page, real estate and in
surance agent, of Corpus Christi,
Texas, says: My wife thinks a
great deal of Doau's Kidney Pills
and says they relieved the dull ach-
ing pain in her back which had
given her considerable annoyance
for over year. They also cor
rected the action of the kidney
secretions which had been rather
irregular. Knowing this to be a
fact have no hesitation in endors-
ing this remedy, and trust it
may be means of helping others
similarly afflicted. l."

AFRAID OF HOODOO'
YOUNG MAN STARTED AFTER
FOURTEENTH "BRAcER."
Doorkeeper's Testimony as to Unlucky
Number He Had Taken Startled
Enthusiastically the Drag
on" Was in Luck.

The keeper Of the stage door to a
New York roof garden where some of
the prettiest summer girls are play
ing has come to the conclusion that
there is not much in proverbs and
that Is is a pretty lucky number.
The other night as he was sitting
drowsily guarding the sacred precincts
over which he plays the dragon" a
young man with nothing but money
and thirst, and who seemed to be
waiting for somebody, invited him to
come out and have something wet"
For moment the doorkeeper eyed
the young man suspiciously-when he
is invited to quit his post there is usu-
ally cause for suspicion. Then he
coldly explained that he couldn't get
away.
ooh, WE'LL" remarked the other nom
chalantly, "I'll go. anyway, you can
take one when you feel like it." With
that he flung half dollar in the door
keepers lap.
The doorkeeper slipped the silver
piece into his pocket and smacked his
lips in anticipation.
When the young man returned wip-
Ing his mouth, he sat down on bar
rel near the entrance and began a
friendly confab. Pretty soon, how
ever, he grew restless again.
Have drink?" he asked the door
keeper, absentmindedly.
This time the dragon explained the
situation more graciously.
"Oh, all right. Get one when you
feel like it. I'll take mine now," and
again a silver half dollar landed in
the doorkeeper's lap.
By the time the young man re-
turned he was beginning to feel cheer
full, but in ten minutes he began to
fdget.
Have a drink?'' ne asked. The
doorkeeper started to explain and the
young fellow said: very well," and
was off again leaving the same silver
remembrance behind him.
That was early in the evening" It
was quite evident to the doorkeeper,
who understands every species Of
Johnny by heart, that the particular
Johnny in question was feeling pretty
nervous about the girl inside. Regu-

EAGLE PUT UP STIFF FIGHT.
Monarch of the Air Resented Interfer-
ence with His Dinner.

Thomas Haywood, homesteader
near Turtle Lake, Mimi, sustained
serious injuries in a desperate battle
with large eagle which had attacked
a calf. Haywood saw the eagle descend
into the clearing where the calf was
grazing and attempt to carry it away.
He rushed at the big bird with club
and the eagle at once left the calf and
attacked Haywood.
The man was beaten into partial in
.sensibility with heavy blows from its
wings, but managed to protect his
face by crouching on his hands and
knees. Finally he hit the bird on the
head, knocking it to the ground.
Scratched, bruised and exhausted,
Haywood still had enough strength
left to get up and with another blow
or two dispatch the bird. The eagle
measured five feet seven inches from
tip to tip.

Fish Dropped From cloud..

During the remarkable thunder
storms in the state of Queensland
Australia, an extraordinary phenom.
enon was witnessed at place called
Cooper's Plains, near Brisbane. In
the midst Of the rain there suddenly
fell from the skies large number Of
young fish. The fish fell at first ia
stwos and threes, but subsequently,
came in dozens, until large area Of
ground was strewn with live fish
measuring from one and a half inches
TO three inches. Ii. i
Experts in the district described the
fish as Of q fresh water variety nayar
before seen near Brisbane. The the.
DRY accounting for the phenomenon
most generally accepted is that the
storm generated q waterspout in one
sof the rivers and that the fish were
sucked up BY It and carried By the
wind some long distance before being
sdropped.

ARTIFICIAL WOOD.
Attempts Made to Produce 1t From
Peat Eibers.


Peat Fibers.
Frequent attempts have been made
to use peat as raw material for the
manufacture of artificial wood. The
material must, for this purpose, be
fully reduced to fibrous condition, so
as to produce fibrous and a mealy
mass. This mixture is mixed with an
emulsion of two parts by measure OF
plaster of paris and ten to twelve OF
water; and is subjected for considera.
BILE time to heavy hydraulic pressure
IN molds, then artifcially dried, pol.
1shed and oiled, painted and vanished.
A more simple process is to wash
the peat, without destroying it's natur.
al fibrous state, and to mix the result
ing moist mass with mixture of by.
drafted lime and an aluminium com.
pound Gas, for instance, aluminium
sulphate, and. press it in molds for
short time in the moist state, after
which the resulting plates are allowed
to harden in the air. The resultant
product needs only comparatively
low pressure, and this for only a short
time; and is then set out to dry in the
air. The resulting artificial wood is
not hygroscopinc, and in order to use
it for open air work needs no painting
or further impregnation. In view OF
the fact that the pressing operation
takes only few minutes, considerable
quantities can be manufactured in
comparatively small space of time
