GARDENING. FOR FUN.

1T undoubtedly pays to have a garden

piece of squash. We've always had a
good many flowers at my little place. but
we've never done anything with vegetables.

I'd try it, and did. hired man to pillow
up about quarter acre and bought a lot
of seeds and started my first agricultural
experience. 1 did about all the work after
l got home nights. and it kept me fairly
BUSY Now that the farming season is
ended, I've just figured up my cash account
and struck balance, and am wiser than

THE melancholy summary is on this bit

fertilizer, $11.50; for labor. $3.50: for i'm

my lame back, s1.36; total, 5000.
In addition to that, my wife strained her
eyes looking for vegetables that never hap

GERMANY's BAD VINTAGE.
Grapes in Many Districts Attacked by
Mildew and Caterpillars.
from She New YORK. SIM


There is tribulation In Germany over
the failure in many districts of the vintage
or 1905. The caterpillars have been busy
at the vines and the only happy people
In the wine trade are those who carry over
good stocks from 1905
This condition is all the more bitter be-
cause the season promised at its opening
be an unusually good one. big Weld
was regarded as a certainty, when of a
sudden 1t was reported that downy mildew
had attacked the vines in several districts
OF the wine country
The mildew was succeeded by a plague
OF, caterpillars, the hay worm or sour
worm, as they are popularity called Thou
sands of these were discovered, but not all
could be removed from the plants and great
damage was caused by them.
The latest estimates of the yield in the
wine producing regions along the MoseI.
Saar and Ruwer are about half the normal
quantities in favorable cases. On the
upper Abr and middle Rhine the expecta-
ton is about the same.
On the lower Abr and on localities along
the Rhine and Mosei which were most
seriously devastated. not more than a quar-
ter of the usual product is looked for. In
Rhenish Hesse and the Palatinate the pros
pect ranges from half yield to practically
none, and In Baden, Wurtenburg and Fran
coma the prospects vary from half yield
to much less.
Prices of wine in stock are going up and
the whole wine trade of Germany is greatly
disturbed. The wine auctions held in the
spring were conducted at a time when
the outlook was normal or better. Prices
were therefore about average. Great guam
titles OF last years wine are held by the
trade and there has been active speculative
dealing In 1t since the disaster to the new
grapes became known.

Refugees in q Food Shed.

The unsatisfactory and insanitary condi-
tons under which "transmigrant'' aliens
are conveyed through London on their way
to New York and other places have induced
the London county council to make repre-
sensations to the home ONCE.
In his report to. the public health COM
mittee the Bermondsey medical officer Of
health describes q visit he paid to Hays
wharf on August /. He found about $40
Jewish refugees from Russia who had just
been landed from the steamship Sergei.
They were being temporarily accommo-
dated, prior to removal across London in
brakes and vans. In a long. low room. ordi-
narlly used for storing food at this wharf
There was no light or ventilation except
what penetrated through the open doors at
each end, the consequence being that when
all these people were congregated there the
room was very much overcrowded, the at
mosphere became very foul and stuffy and
artificial light had to be used"
There was nothing In the shape Of SAM
tary arrangements, and the refugees had to
run about the yard looking for water to
drink.
The proprietors of the wharf when APP
preached ON the subject stated that they
were already In communication with the
shipping company with the view Of obtain
ing better sanitary arrangements for the
aliens during their stay on the wharf.

,YIDDIsH POST CARDS.
Some Show Scenes of Jewish Life,
Some Are Humorous.

From the New York Sun.
The craze for collecting postcards has
stimulated Jewish humor and has also
brought out some attractive cards showing
scenes of Jewish life. Some Of the import
ed Yiddish cards of humorous nature are
fine productions, but the rule with those
seen on the East Side is that the more HUI
morous the card the more indifferentIy it Is
printed.
Among the imported cards are some show
+ ing reproductions of photographs. 1.-THE
Yeshibah' (Talmudic SCHOOL, is the title Of
card, Rembrandtesque In character, de-
plotting the interior of Russian Jewish
seminary.
The scene is a tiny, low-roofed attic,
where, by the light of solitary lamp, three
bachurim (students) are pursuing their
studies. One is in deep slumber, the sleep
of mental and physical exhaustion, and the
| theme to. the remainder of the listless stu
dents. Altogether the card Is an interesting
| study in shadows compressed into the linn
| tied space of picture postcard.
Another card depicts q Galician wedding.
The wealth of detail, the grouping. of the
crowd in the synagogue courtyard and the
picturesque costumes Of the wedding guests
are of interest.
lated pictorially the story with which for
many years Russian children have been
alternately awed and amused 1t describes
how a hungry wolf, on the lookout for a
much-needed meal, came across a band Of
| itinerant Jewish musicians
Gastronomic desires were subdued by the
animals love for melody, and the wolf is
seen listening with the ecstacy of critic
| to the music of the terrified musicians.
Then a man with gun comes along and
the concert stops before the wolf has time
| to remember his appetite.
The expressions of the features Of the
members of the orchestra are nfelike and
the transition from abject terror to un-
bounded glee Is amusing.
One of the finest collections of Jewish
picture postcards in this city comprises in
teresting allegorical and biblical studies.
The pictures of Russian Jewish life are at
tractive by reason Of their simplicity and
pathos. Addition Is card picturing q
Russian Jewish tradesman engaged in the
pleasant occupation of reckoning up his
days profits. The puckered brow of the
| aged shopkeeper and his evident concentra-
| ton of his thoughts on the rows of figures
! are well pictured.

The Value of Charcoal.
FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW USEFUL 1T IS IN
PRESERVING HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the
safest and most efficient dsinfectant and purifier
in nature but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same cleansing pur-
pose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the you take of
1t the better; 1t is not q drug at all, but simply
absorbs the gases and Impurities always present In
the stomach and intestines and carries them out
Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking.
drinking after eating onions and other odorous
vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves the COM
plexion 1t whitens the teeth and further acts
natural and eminently safe cathartie.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which collect in
the stomach and bowels; 1t disinfects the mouth
and throat from the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form or another,
but probably the best charcoal and the most for
the money is In Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed OF the finest powdered Willow char
coal and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form.
or rather In the form Of large, pleasant-tasting
Iozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
The daily of these lozenges VIII soon tell In
a much improved condition Of the general health,
better complexion sweeter breath and purer blood.
and the beauty of 1t is that possible harm can
result from their continued use. but. on the con-
trary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. In speaking Of the BENEFITS
of charcoal, says: 81 advise Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stom-
ach and bowels and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath. mouth and throat; also be-
ieye the liver ia greatly benefited by the daily
Of them; they cost but twenty-five cents box at
drug stores and although in a pat
ent preparation yet believe I get and bet
ter charcoal In stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than In
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

Work and Wages In the Klondike.

WORK ana wages In the K1ondike.
From Leslies Weekly.
Lack Of water is the great drawback to
mining In Yukon. There is little rain dur-
ing the summer, and the miner must de-
pend on the melting SHOWS to swell the
streams for his summer sluicing.
Villages have sprung up near the creeks,
and living Is a shade higher than in Daw-
SOM owing to the extra freight Sending
souvenir post cards from these points be-
comes an expensive remembrance, as the
plain. uncolored ones sell for $50 DOZEN
The picturesque swagger miner of Cripple
Creek, Creede and Tonopah IL not found
here. The csst Of getting I'm is heavy,
money Is not always easily made, and the
winters are bitter cold and depressing on
account Of the long darkness. So the miner
saves his earnings until he reaches more
congenial CLINE. To be sure, there are men
ON the creeks who drink whisky-an.. the
on; yet. on the whole, the Klondike miner
Is a quiet. provident individual. who de-
voutly hopes that the gold fields are not to
be his permanent home.
A man who works for a company or indi-
vidual mine owner receives from four to
six dollars day and hts board. Many Of
them do their own cooking and live in cab
ms near the creeks. F1ap-jacks (pancakes),
bacon and coffee are their chief diet during
the winter, and In midsummer it requires
q dexterous hand to turn the flap-jacks be-
fore the mosquitoes can settle on the un-
baked side. The old-timer who has seen
the ice come and go Is known as the '.sour
dough-" and these men are the aristocrats
Of the camp. The newcomer, or the man
who spends his winters outside, fs always
known as "cheechako."
II people in the states knew how letters
from home are appreciated by the cabin
jewellers Of the Yukon they would send
some message every day. I have seen min
ers sit In front Of their cabins and read
and re-read old. tattered letters. At some
particular passage their faces would light
up with a smile and the entire letter would
be gone over again.

NO MARKS OF VIOLENCE.
Inquest Unnecessary in the Case OF
George Javins.

Coroner Newt has decided to not hold an
inquest in the case Of George Javins. who
was drowned in the James creek canal last
Thursday night. The body was examined,
and found to be devoid of marks of vio-
lence The coroner learned that nobody was
near the scene OF the drowning at the time
Javins fell overheard and he directed the
release of the soldiers, John D. Wetter and
Joseph ]. Kelley. who had been with Javins
earlier.
During the investigation the coroner
visited the canal at the point where Javins
was drowned, and says he realized that the
conditions there are dangerous. and such as
are likely to result in a repetition Of the
occurrence of Thursday at almost any
time He also recalled that several juries
had referred to the place. so he could see
nothing to be accomplished by holding an
other inquiry.

Has the Wasp Affectionp

From the Outing Magazine for September.
colony Of wasps made a nest in the
dark room of studio last summer. At
first the party who used the room did
not relish their company-but for certain
reasons he did not modest them. He paid
no attention to the little buzzers, and they
came and went at their own sweet will.
After time he began to study them and
soon came to the conclusion that they
were gradually becoming acquainted with
him, his ways and his dark room. One day
a stranger was seated on the window sill.
The first wasp entering the room paid no
attention to him, but made for the old
crack in the wall Then out came big
fat fellow who darted through the open
window like bullet. Within five minutes
half dozen wasps came with a rush at
the stranger and two Of them located him.
But the writer has never been touched by
his wasp colony.
