Barker and Thomas L White, Of New
York. on December 25, 1906.
Briefly, the Barker-White system
consists in vaporizing alcohol IN d
earoureter OF the ordinary gasoline
type and passing the vapor Of a1co-
hol. mixed with the proper volume OF
air, through calcium carbide. Com
mercial alcohol always contains wa
ter, usually to the extent OF about
ten per cent. and this water is sb-
sorDed by the carbide. whereupon
acetylene gas is liberated by the car
bide. mixes with the alcohol yapor
and air and is carried into the clyiH-
der.

May, q morning when TO live and q
breathe is a luxury.-Lord BaynehaH
went out early. He strolaed ON
ward Kensington Gardens, anu, II
tracted by the beauty and fragranee
dens and walked leisurely up anu
down the paths. There was no fas.
ionable crowd, It was too early To-
that: but there we're many Pr

dants and nurses. Light footste-
tripped to and fro; musical vos
filed the clear spring air; silvery
laughter r.ppled on the breeze.
was pleasant to watch the little ones
at their play.
Lord Bayneham sat down upon ons
OF the garden benches; there was a
sad, wistfuI smile upon his face as hc
gazed upon the children. There was
sharp pain in his heart. No child
climbed his knee and called him
father; no little hands clasped his;
no tender little lips touched his face.
He would never hear the music OF
chlldren's voices in his home. Sad,
solitary, and desolate he sat in the
spring sunshine, wondering why Pro
whence had dealt SO hardly by him.
The spring blossoms, the blue sky,
the clear sweet air, the rich perfume,
the music Of the birds, the glory that
reigned around him, smote him with
pain. Life and To- e, beauty and hap
piness seemed to fall to every one S
lot: he alone had no hope. Why, II
was just such morning as this when
he had met his lost loved wife in
Brynmar woods.
Just then Lord Baynehams attels
ton was drawn to most beautiful
boy. He was seemingly three or -four
years old, with the charming face that
the old masters used to give to angels
sweet, red smiling lips eyes of the
darkest, deepest blue. The little head
was covered with curls-beautifu
golden tendrils- cleaning in the sun
shine. He was : none, princely boy
and the earl watched him with great
admiration. He was with gentle
man, but Lord Bayneham could moi
see the gentleman's face; it was hid
den from him by the thick fol age Of
the trees.
The little boys amusement con
sisted in gathering blades of grass
and running with them to his guard
ian. He evidently considered this d
great feat, and INDUCED in cries OF De
light A bright yellow flower grew
in the green grass close to where
LORD Bayneham was sitting. The
child saw it, and ran ca" rly to gather
ii, and the smile that broke over his
charmed face was so irresistible thai
Lord Bayneham stopped and RAISED
him il his arms.
You must not run away with me,
said the child. IN his pretty little way
/ am mammals COY.
Il will not" said the earl gravely;
''sit here on my knee, and l WI. show
you my watch"
The child was delighted with the
glittering watch and chain.
viii you give me these for my
own?" he asked.
Ne win see about that said LORD
Bal neham; ''tell me what yo~
lis"
Lionel" replied the little one.
Homeland what else?" asked the
earl.
Mammals LIONEL" said the little
boy, raising his beautiful eyes to the
sad face above him.
Lord Bayneham was strangely
moved by that look; surely in some
dream he had seen eyes like those
Then he bent down and kissed the
little face, smoothing the bright golden
curls as he did SO.
Il wish I had little boy like yo4,
he said to the child; Il have no dttlc

Proteetlna YOUNG rrses


Young orchard trees should be PRO
tected from rabbits for one o. two
years after they have cen set in the
orchard There are ts sys ems Of
protecting such trees, Ell ~ of which
may be fairly satisfacto' One sys-
tenn consists of painting tn trunk and
the lower branches with some form Of
paint. This paint usually consists Of
soap, water, and some other ingredi-
ent like carbolie acid or little tar.
The best formula is water, one gallon;
soap, one pound; carbolic acid, two
to four ounces. This can be painted
on the trees with brush or swab of
rags tied on the end OF stick. Some
prefer to modify this formula by add
ing enough venetian red to give the
mixture a good pink color of the con-
sistency of thick cream, says the In
diana Farmer. Paris green is some
times added to this mixture but it is
Of doubtful value. The paint is OF
value only as It prevents the rabbits
from barking the trees, killing the

Blood from slaughter houses has been
used with good results. This is incon'
venient to prepare and washes off
readily SO that it requires three or
four applications each winter, but If
repeatedly applied, it seems to give
fairly good results. Thick white lead
in linseeds oil has been used success
fully by some farmers but most peo-
pie would be afraid of bad results fol
towing the use of the oil. Any mix
ture that will wash off must be reap
piled two or three times during the
season. Axle grease and coal tar
have been used frequently and almost
uniformly injured the trees. The axle
grease may be used on the trunks of
trees five or six years old without any
injury, but such trees do not need pro
lection from rabbits.

Hotbeds francs and cold frames
musi be put in order before the ground
freezes; that is, the land should be
plowed and enriched with a dressing
of manure or fertilizer and the planks
set up IN position to receive the
sashes, and supported by stakes driven
into the ground and nailed TO- them.
The whole bed can then be covered
with coarse manure or other litter to
prevent freezing, and it will be ready
for working whenever it is needed.
A hen should have at least 265
working days In the year, and the
number of days she will lay depends
upon her management, the same as
Cor a COW. If she lays 215 eggs per
week the year around, more in sum-
mer than in winter. Of course she will
reach 100 eggs year. Even at only
ewo eggs week she will lay over
eight dozen in a year. She will pay
for herself with less than half that
quantity in a year, and then some
poutrymen wonder Il hen is profit
able.

Bulbs in the Window Garden.

Bulbs in the Window Garden.
After the pots have been in their
dark cool quarters for four or five
weeks, they can be examined. If
their delicate white roots appear
through the holes in the bottom of the
pots the bulbs can be taken out and
carefully examined. This is best done
by taking the pot In both hands. and
then turning the pot upside down and
striking the edge or rim of the pot on
solid bench or table until the ball
of earth and roots is removed, says
the Rural New Yorker. If the bulbs
are well rooted the pot should be
placed over the ball of earth. and then
restore the pot with the plant to its
proper position. Examining the roots
OF bulbs is a delicate operation, and
should be done as seldom as possible,
as there is danger of breaking the bali
of earth and the roots, which latter
would seriously injure, if not ruin, the
bulbs altogether. The bulbs Should
be watered at once again after being
examined to settle the earth around
the roots. The bulbs can rerlain in
their cool, dark quarters for several
weeks after being rooted if desired,
but must be brought into the window
when the top growth has attained to
hight of about two inches, or the
Towering results will not likely be as
good as they should be. When
brought into the window, plac chem
in not too sunny position, and see
that the soil is kept well MOST by re-
gular and copious waterings, always
giving enough water to moisten all
the soil in the pot.

EFFECTS OF THE FOG.
Even Blind Men Lose Their Way
 The Ground Sounds Different"

Nothing has such a bewilderng ef- feet as fog. Only animals which find their way by scent can get about in it with any certainty says Chums. Birds are entirely confused by it. Tame pigeons remain all day motion less and half-asleep. huddled up, eith- CT in or just outside their houses. Chickens remain motionless for hours during heavy fogs. No bird sings or utters a call, perhaps because 1t fears to betray it's whereabouts to an un- seen foe. During one very thick fog a blind man was found wandering about certain district of London This man was in the habit of carrying notes and parcels. and had scarcely ever lost his way before. Asked why he had gone astray. for he was quite blind, and it was supposed that weath- CT would have made no difference, he said that in fog the ground sounded quite differently"

GOOD TEST FOR NICOTINE.
Experiments That May Be of Interest
 to Smokers.

Anyone who wishes to find out how much nicotine he might take into his system by smoking can easily get an idea by very simple experiment" says an old smoker, who is rarely seen in public or private without a cigar in his mouth 'Puff briskly until the cigar smoke is clear white then draw big mouthful, double your handkerchief, place it over your lips and blow out the smoke violently as though you were whistling. Look at your handkerchief and you will see a deep brown stain almost as big as dime on the white linen. That is the nicotine and other oils distilled from the tobacco during burning. Now, of course. l don't mean to say that regular smoker would absorb
 all this oil into his system Most of x passes away with the smoke, as shown by the brown deposit on the handkerchief. but still enough re
 mains to affect the nerves, as any inexperienced smoker can testify af- ter his first attempts to become ac- customed to the weed. Whether the nicotine hurts anybody who is used to it is question for the doctors :"

ITALIAN FUGITIVE
SOUGHT BY POLICE
AS CHILD SLAYER
Suspected New Orleans
Kidnaper Discovered
in Old Hut.

NEW ORLEANS, La. July 13.-The
police are searching the woods near
Bayou Lacombe, about ten miles from
SlideI. La, for an Italian fugitive who
was discovered living in an abandoned
hut He is thought TO be one Of the
fugitives wanted for completely in the
kidnapping and murder Of little Walter
Lamana. at Hahnville The italian
vigilance committee also has sent a
man 10 assist IN the search.
The man arrived in the vicinity OF
Slidell about two weeks ago. He said he
was on his way to Texas. but instea1
Of continuing his journey. he has set
up quarters in an abandoned hut in the
center of the woods. The local au-
thorities being informed OF this watched
the hut for his return. intending 70 make
him a prisoner, but the Italian, being
forewarned, remained away. Marshal
Eugene BadoR. after an investigation.
reported TO the New Orleans police that
the man evidently was a fugitive. and
that his suspicious actions warranted
his arrest. Marshal Badon said re
probably was one OF the men wanted in
the Lamapa case.
Captain CaDo Immediately wired a de-
scriDtion OF the man sought and sent
an officer to assist in the search The
Italian is somewhere in the vicinity. and
his capture is believed 70 be only a
matter OF = few hours. The citizens
around are assisting the police. and
there is small possibility Of the suspect
slipping away.
The work Of the Italian vigilance
committee. which is determined 10
stamp OUT blaeknailing and murder in
the entire region. IS easily compre-
hended when il is known that thousands
of men are at all times keeping a sharp
lookout for any Italians answering the
descriptions, which will be spread broad
cast il is believed that one or more
OF the missing men have managed 10
leave the country, and are now In South
America. The police are maintaining a
silent as well IS confident manner,
which is evidence that they nave more
