No.

THEY WON'T SHUT DOORS.
And They Will Ride Backward, Re.
ports a Traveller Of EngIlshmen.

Travellers returning from England
tell of two habits of the people of that
country which impressed them. One
is the average sEnglishman's aversion
to shutting the door behind him.
Il don't know how it is in the Eng
lish houses" remarked n who re-
turned recently from abroad, for
was not In one of them, but | stayed
in a hotel in London where there were
a good many English people, and a
dozen times daily l had to get up and
shut a door to keep the draught away.
at didn't make any difference
whether it was a servant or a guest
who went through, the door was left
open. This was in the spring of the
year, too, when the weather was chill
ly. l noticed the same thing in rail
way coaches and hotels of smaller
towns"
The other English popularity is a
preference for riding backward on
trains. The Englishman will make for
the seat with it's back to the engine
every time, plant himself down in il
with every evidence of comfort and
look wonderingly at anybody who
picks out a seat facing the direction
the train is going. Not ono did one
American travelling in England see a
native choose a seat facing the front
of the train unless there were nc
other seats.

ADVICE TO VICTIMS
TELLS READERS HOW TO CURE
RHEUMATISM AT HOME.
Directions to Mix a Simple Prepare.
Jtion and the Dose to Take-over.
comes Kidney and Bladder
Trouble Promptly.

There is so much Rheumatism every
where that the following advice by an
eminent authority, who writes for read
ers of a large Eastern daily paper, will
be highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one Inc Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty
of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few vic
tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture, and
in most cases a permanent cure is the
result.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues
of the Kidneys so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system
the poisons, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only Rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feels that their
kidneys are not healthy and active, or
who suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to make
up this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after while,

CARE OF E { CORN.
The Drying Out Process Must sc
Managed Carefully.

Seed corr as brought in from the
field has a high content of moisture,
If, in the attempt to dry 1t out quick
ly artificial heat is used, with little or
no attention given to ventilation, the
chances are that the germ will start
to grow. Artificial heat is dangerous
at this stage. The important things
are ventilation, a dry atmosphere and
a moderate temperature. Corn sus'
pended from a wire in a w%ell-venti-
lated shed, granary or dwelling house
attic, in such a way that there Stree
circulation of air around each ear, is
very favorably situated. Windows
should be closed during nights and
rainy days, but open the rest of the
time.
If the fall be dry and hard freezing
weather does not come until seed is
well dried out, it will go through the
winter nicely, in such quarters. If the
weather be damp and winter sets in
early, it should have the benefit of ar

Ranchman's Novel courtshIp.

Louis L. Kramer came all the way
from Yuma, Cal, to marry a girl he
had never seen. The bride was Miss
Flora Weise, a pretty young woman
Of Tazewell county.
The groom wrote to his aunt here,
Mrs. Patterson, to put him in com
munication with a girl who would
make him a good wife, as he was lone
ly on his ranch in Colorado. Mrs.
Patterson recommended Miss Weise,
a neighbours daughter, and correspond
ence was begun. "
The girl was taken with the 70.
nance of the affair and when photo
graphs were exchanged and proved
satisfactory a proposal quickly fol.
lowed. An acceptance was written
and then Kramer came east to claim
his bride. The marriage was cele.

THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts to TabuIate the
Beasts That Perish.

Every now and then some natural.
list endeavors to make an approximate
numerical count Of known animal
species. This kind of attempt is sure
ly not without interest, but it must be
acknowledged that its results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species, and there is yet a delight
full prospect ahead for those who love
systematic zoology and for biologists
who bestow mutual honors by giving
each others names to some animal
hitherto unknown.
AS Nurmann remarked to a recent
meeting of naturalists at the museum,
to which he presented his Catalogues
Mammalium," the species of rodents
known in 1880 were only $40 in num-
Der; now they are 1900. The num-
Der has thus, at least, doubled in 81
years. The number of living species
of this creature now known is about
1900, divided among 100 genera. This
family is the most numerous of the
class of mammalia.-Wissen fur ALLIE.

BIRDS TRAVEL ALONG ROUTES.
All Have Not Same Representations
Great Distance.

The routes by which birds pass to
and from one country to another in
spring and autumn are regularly fol
lowed. One great tho~roughfare, OF
course, is in the spring from south to
north, and conversely in the autumn
from north to south; another is south.
east to northwest; a third southwest
to northeast, with the return into the
same starting points, says the Scot
nan
The great southern wintering region
is south of the north of Africa and
extends to far beyond the equator
and from it, under the breeding in.
stinct in spring, birds hurry away to
dispense themselves over the wide
spreading ~palaearctic or northern
lands, which extend as far, in the
case of some species, as a long way
within the arctic circle. South of the
equator during the northern winter
the migrants fly toward the south pole
to breed. The seasonal range limit
of some of the northern breeding
birds is enormous-several extending
from Patagonia to Greenland.
All migratory birds have not the
same range; some fly longer, some
shorter, distances. The best known
of all the birds Of passage, the swal
low has one of the longest ranges
from 1000 to 10000 miles. In this
extended range are also included such
birds as the gray plover, the knot, the
p%ectoral and curlew sandpipers and
the Asiatic golden plover.
The longer ~range-from 5000 to
1000 miles-includes such well-known
birds as the cuckoo, the corncrake,
the sedge warbler, the greenshank;
the moderate range--from 5000 to
5000 miles-embraces the turtle dove,
the crane, lapwing, mallard and jack
snipe; the third range-from 1000 to
1000 miles-such birds as the wood
chat shrike, the stone curlew, the
woodcock and black tern and in what
Is called the restricted area-with a
mileage Of 1000 miles downward
there are the waxwings, several gulls
and the elder duck.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces.
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.

TAKE THEM OUT
Or Feed Them Food They Can
Study On.

When a student begins to break
down from lack of the right kind of
food, there are only two things to do;
either take him out of school or feed
him properly on food that will rebuild
the brain and nerve cells. That food
is Grape-Nuts.
"A boy writes from jamestown, N. Y,
saying: "A short time ago l got into
a bad condition from overstudy, but

WINTER KEEPING OF souAsHEs.
Must Be Gathered Just Before the
First Frost.

Squashes and pumpkins IL expected
to Keep well must be gathered care
fully just before the first frost. Leave
the stems on and do not bruise. II
frost nips them ever SO little, right
there they begin to decay, at first
slowly, but too soon they will be
ruined. After they are gathered IT. is
best to store them in an outbuild-
ing until danger of freezing ap-
proaches. They should then be taken
to a cool, dry, airy cellar, and placed
upon shelves, being careful that they
do not touch one another. Squashes
gathered and taken care Of in this
way will keep good until nearly
spring.
The best luck I ever had storing
squashes and pumpkins was In a eel
lar adjoining a cellar room, writes a
correspondent Of Orange Judd Farm
or. 1t was very dry and the windows
were all kept open until there was
danger of frost entering the cellar.
The squashes were gathered just be-
fore frost without bruising, care be-
ing taken to leave all the stems on.
They were set upon shelves about four
feet UP from the cellar floor. The win.
dows we're left open for awhile every
warm day during the winter to air the
cellar The cellar was kept dry and
cool. These squashes kept nicely I'M
til January !. Then some Of them be-
gan to speck. When I wanted one to
use | looked them wei and used the
ones that were beginning to show
signs Of not keeping very. well. BY
this method none went to waste. A
number Of them kept until spring. The
~squashes were the Hubbard, the Hes
ter, the NARROW and sweet pumpkins.
There was a fine lot of them and / do
not know that our family aver enjoyed
anything better than they did those
squashes. The Hester squash espe-
cially Is a fine keeper and If cooked
right is equal to sweet potatoes.

Everything Bad.

A prominent planter recently had
occasion to visit some of his holdings
in southern Arkansas. The land was
situated several miles from a railroad,
and 1t was necessary to finish the
journey in a buggy. So he took a
friend with him and started out.
After traversing several miles Of
sparsely settled country, they came
upon a farmer blowing corn on the
side of a hill. The planter, wishing
to appear civil to his neighbors,
stopped his horse and yelled at the
man, who came to the fence, hopping
his face with a red bandana.
Good morning"
"Mornin', mister!"
"You live here, l suppose?"
yep"
"HoW's crops?"
Fair to middlin'."
That's a bad hill you're plowing."
Il know it. Bad boss, pullin' tn

why, you talk like you were the

planter.

as the young fellow smiled good
