To Avoid GETTING stuna.

A beekeeper of New Hampshire
was showing city man his apiary,
The hives we're ranged in line on
the side of a mountain and the air
was sweet with the smell of clover,
pine trees, carnations.
A bee lit ON the keepers hand
angrily, and the man held his
breath.
"Bees can't sting you if you hold
your BREATH" he said afterward,
"To hold the breath closes the pores
of the skin, or something like that.
AT any rate, if bee goes for you
hold your breath and I'll guaran-
tee you won't be stung, though the
bee jabs its sting at you till the
thing breaks"

HABITS OF THE sHAD..
interesting Facts About lite incoming
From thu Sea

from tn0 Sea.
The shad spends part of its life
at sea and part of it in fresh water.
At the approach of the spawning
season it COMES in from the sea and
seeks the fresh water streams to
spawn. AT the close of this season
it goes to sea again, there to remain
until the spawning season again re-
turns.
1t is not known absolutely wheth-
er the shad remains in deep water
in the ocean off the approach of the
river whence it came or whether in
winter it goes south into warmer
waters; but it is commonly believed
that when the shad returns from
whatever point at sea it may to
fresh water it comes back to the
river in which it was born; but a
percentage of the shad do not re-
turn. 1t may be great percentage.
1t is certainly the expectation
when shad fry are placed in such a
river as the Hudson that the young
fish which survive and 90 to sea
will return to the Hudson. Here
the shores of Long Island and New
jersey would serve as Il great fun
mel to guide the fish, if they needed
guidance, to the opening to the bay
and river.
1t is not supposed, however, that
the shad of a river basin, like that
of Chesapeake bay, for example, re-
turn each group to its own particu-
lar stream. In Chesapeake bay shsd
would come in from the sea togcth-
er, but once inside the bay t. ey
would be likely to seek each The

i'll New York bay in the earl part
of the season with the roe much ad-
yanced. These may be simply indi-
vidual cases of early maturity in
shad belonging here. Shad CORE
spondingN late have been caught
here. Roe Shad have been taken in
the bay rs late as August. but gen
orally the shad come in with the roe
in the condition that might be ex-
pected in fish that knew where they
were going and when they we're go
ing to get there. and fishermen in
cline to think of the early shad with
the advanced roe that it is one that
from some cause, perhaps stress of
weather, has oycrrun its river
That the shad does not always
seek its own river is plainly shown
on the Pacific coast, where the shad
is not native, but was introduced
from the east. Shad were planted
there chiefly in the Sacramento riv-
er, but they have now spread all
along the coast, as far north as
southern Alaska There is, however,
along the Pacific coast cold cur
rent which the shad does not seek
to pass. 1t is found in the bays and
estuaries and can be caught the year
round, and the natural barrier that
prevents its making an offing has
doubtless led to its general move
ment along the coast.-New York

but presently the smile faded away.
Wives had been killed that the hus.
band might profit by the insurance.
Aunt Deborah was always predicting,
but at the same time many Of her pre-.
dictions had come true. She knew that
Henry loved her with great love, but
there was that $1,000 For an hour she
lay awake and thought, and the longer
she thought the more miserable she
was.
Sarah had only fallen into troubled
sleep when the dog barked and Henry
awoke. He did not get up for fear OF
disturbing his wife, and after listening
to the dog for few minutes the
thought Of Aunt Deborah's predictions
and solemn face came to his mind,
He grlnned at the idea of Sarah kill
ing him off for that $4,000, and yet he
began to recall cases where wives had
done that same thing. She could push
him into the well, push him down the
cellar stairs or dispose of him in other
ways to enable her to escape detection
and with that $1,000 she would be a
rich widow, and windmill men, wire
fence men, piano agents and men with
patent farm gates would tumble over
each other to ask for her hand. She
might not even put $40 headstone at
his grave.
There was constraint between them
when the couple woke up next morning
They tried to make out that there
wasn't, but realized that there was
Sarah claimed to have headache, and
James said he had a touch of rheuma-
tism.
At noon when the husband came up
from the field he had been thinking
things over and almost wished he had
turned Aunt Deborah out of the house.
She was a meddlesome, gossipy old
thing. and he would let nothing she
had said annoy him In the least.
Sarah had also been thinking, and
about the same thoughts, and so there
was n return of love and confidence.
1t did not last thirty-six hours, how
ever. Henry had to sharpen the AK,
and Sarah saw him at it and felt that
he was contemplating a crime. Sarah
asked If the handle of table knife
could not be made fast by little
melted lead, and Henry said to him
self after answering her question::
"Ah, ha! Got melted lead ON her
mind, has she? Well. I've got TO look
out for my ears"
For the next four weeks the pair
were hypocrites toward each other.
They dissembled and deceived. They
thought black thoughts of each other.
James wanted to sleep in the barn o
nights, and Sarah wanted to go home
and tell her mother all about it.
Things were fastening on toward
separation when. as they sat on the
veranda one night after supper, say
ing little, but thinking a great deal,
farmer Joe Collins came driving along
and halted to say:
"Say you folks heard the newsT"
"No What is it!'
"It'll take your breath away"
"But let's have it"
"Wall, that life insurance company
you are Insured in has busted higlier'n

"Oh, James"
ooh, Sarah!"
And as they went dancing around
the veranda in each others arms Mr..
Collins looked at them In astontsh-
ment and said to himself:

In connection with rotation of crops
the land should be improved every
year. There is a point beyond which
soils can not be permanently enriched
without an Improvement of their con-
stitutional organization, which, how
ever, may be done by supplying artifi-
cially those ingredients Of a good soil
of which they are deficient, such an
lime, and even sand or clay, If posi-
BILE, for without changes In the consti-
tutional organization Of the soil we can
not hope to carry its fertility perma-
nently beyond what it has acquired In
a. state of nature. Soils which have
been reduced merely by cultivation,
where they have not been injured By
washing rains, may be easily reno
waited, and this must be done by again
supplying them with those ingredients
Of which they have been deprived by
bad husbandry. This may be done in
part by the application of manures,
necessary supply Of vegetable food, and
to this end farmers should freely cuiti-
vate those crops which derive most of
their food from It, In soils adapted
for It's cultivation, red clover is most
suitable for this purpose; 1T Is by far
the most convenient and the cheapest
mode Of renovating exhausted soils.
not only supplying much vegetable
matter TO soils that have been much
reduced, but it is admirably calculated
to pulverize and reduce its component
parts to a finely divided state, thus
producing a condition favorable to a
combination with those elementary
substances which are furnished by thu
atmosphere. thereby greatly increasing
it's capacity for absorbing moisture.
Even weeds, previous 20 the time of

their nutriment from the atmosphere.

CROP WELL WORTH RAISING.
Brazilian Linen 5000 to the Acre
May Be Grown Here.

Brazilian Linen $4,000 to the Acre
May Be Grown Here.
A crop that will produce $15, 400 to the
acre has been discovered in Brazil, ac-
ccrding to a report to the Department of
Commerce and Labor from United States
Consul General George E. Anderson at
Rio de Janeiro. 1t is the Brazilian linen
and several experimental plantations are
making an effort to put it into practical
use.
According to the consul generals re-
port the plant grows twelve to eighteen
feet high and somewhat resembles hemp.
1t maturs so rapidly that a field will
produce three crops a year. The fiber
has strength, frmness, fexibility and
adaptability for bleaching and dyeing.
1t may revolutionize the linen industry
of the world and become an important
competitor of cotton. An acre will pro-
duce seventy-seven tons and the product
includes not only the various grades of
fiber for fine or coarse linen but stems
and roots can be used for making paper.
The suggestion is made that the Agri-
cultural Department should investigate
this wonderful plant and see if it can be
produced in the portions of the United
States that are free from frost. The
plant is said to be absolutely hard, re-
sisting alike the dry or rainy season,
bearing equally we'll on dry or wet soil
and not a prey to insects or mildew."

CALLS SToRER A FALSIFIER.

to Charges of Former Envoy.

President Makes Public Hot Reply
to Charges of Former Envoy.
President Roosevelt has made public
letter to Secretary Root in reply to
the attack made upon him by Bellamy
Storer, growing out of the alleged in
trigue by Storer and his wife with the
Vatican in behalf of red hat for Arch
bishop Ireland.
The President denies that he ever used
his influence in behalf of Archbishop Ire
land after he became Vice President. He
scores Mr.. Storer, severely condemning
him for ''disingenuousness" and saying it
was a peculiarly ungentlemanly thing"
to publish private correspondence.
Mr.. Roosevelt asserts emphatically it
was an absurd untruth' for Mr.. Storer
to declare he orally had instructed him
to urge that the red cap be conferred
upon the archbishop when he had writ
ten so positively to the contrary, and
clinches his statements by letters to
Storer which the latter had failed to in
clude in his pamphlet.
One of the interesting features of the
Presidents letter is the disclosure it
makes of the wire pulling" propensity
of Mrs. Storer and of the free and, as
the President states, the embarrassing
way in which she wrote of American dip
lomatS.
According to the President she opposed
the admission of Protestant missionaries
to the Philippines, attacked a Catholic
archbishop not friendly to Archbishop
Ireland. urged the President to displace
Mr. Root then Secretary of War or Mr.
Moody, who was Secretary of the Navy,
in order that her husband might have
a cabinet place. and, when this was de-
MED her, urged the removal either of Am
bassador Choate at London, or Ambassa-
dor Porter, at Paris, whom she did not
consider proper persons for such posts.

Milton ]. Vreeland, a farmer living
near Pine Brook, N. j., was nearly
drowned in the Passaic River the
other day as the result Of his acting
as referee In a fight between two snap
ping turtles, says the New York
World. Vreeland, who was In canoe,
watched the bout for a minute or two
and then decided that it was time for
the combatants to break away.
He padded up to them, reached
over the side, caught them by the tails,
one In each hand, and swung them into
the canoe-one In the bow, the other
in the stern of the frail craft. But
the turtles did not accept this deci-
SION. They wanted to fight on, and
being unable to get at each other they
attacked the self-appointed referee.
The farmer had found 1t an easy
matter to catch hold OF the turtles
tails when they were In the water, but
it was impossible now with the canoe
to keep on an even keel. He caught
up the paddle and with this managed
to beat of his assailants for while.
but at last the canoe capslzed. AS 1t
did so one of the turtles dealt the
farmer a blow in the back just below

Color Troubles of Whittier,

1t Is well known that the poet Whit
tier was color blind and unable to dis
tinguish red from green. He once
bought for himself a necktie which he
supposed to be OF a modest and suit
able olive tint and wore 1t once. He
never wore it again, for his friends
soon made him aware that 1t offended
against the traditional quietness of
costume enjoined alike by the habits
Of the Friends and by his own taste
The tie was of flaming scarlet.
On another occasion, when he found
a little girl in distress on account of
a new gown, made over from her elder
sisters, which was not becoming to
her coloring and complexion, he tried
to console her.
81 wouldn't mind what a rude boy
says about It. Mary" he said kindly.

in green. She was red-haired. and her
dress was red. That was the trouble
