pear In Woods and swamps.
If you should happen to be in the
woods on a dark night and should sud
denly see bright light with blush
tinge, don't get frightened. The light
doesn't come from the glazing orbs of
a panther or Of even wildcat. 1t is
only harmless bit of decayed wood
which in the course of decomposition
emits phosphoric light. You may
readily dig this luminous wood out
from the body Of the decayed tree, and
it will retain its luminosity for some
days after you have removed it. In Il
dark room it looks very beautiful, and
it is a pity that this beauty gradually
fades until you have only bit Of rot

HUSBANDS HOBBIES.
A Fad Keeps Man Tethered to the
Eireside,

A Fad Keeps Man Tethered to the
Fireside.
Women would find men much easier
tethered to their own fresides if they
would encourage their husbands in
some peculiar hobby and forgive the
little extra trouble the brushing up
afterward gives them. The encourag-
ing of hobby certainly implies self
sacrifice on the part of the wife, but
If she is wise she will give her man
a corner Of the home as his own den,
where he can bestoW his properties,
make as much litter as he chooses and
work out his leisure in the pursuit Of
his harmless hobby.
Perhaps it may take him many hours
to turn q soap box into corner cup
board, but do not laugh at the work
Of art when it is finished. Praise it
rather. 1t is better for a man to do
such things in his odd hours than at
tend football match, bet, drink and
lose his position, says Womans Life.
His example, too, will lessen the labor
in the training of your family, for his
eye will be on the young people, and
they will in helping father learn to
find home the most blessed spot on
earth.

Success greatly depends on the man

Business Women's Luncheon.


Women have still a great deal to
learn in the matter Of economy in
food. They crowd the tea rooms and
"quick lunch" restaurants and spend
in the aggregate an enormous amount
of money, in the majority Of cases for
food that neither nourishes nor satisfies
them. Business women in particular
and brain workers especially among
them ought to know food values and
plan their meals accordingly. They
have not yet discovered that lettuce is
twice as cooling as ice cream and that
mince pie Is not dish for early sum-
mer.
It is not necessary to emulate the
steak, fried potatoes and coffee Of the
average man. In fact, such a diet
would disagree with most persons if
partaken of to any great extent. A
thin soup is usually twice as palata BILE
as thick one and is nearly and in
some cases quite as nourishing This,
with sandwich or some cold meat,
lettuce or water cress and perhaps a
simple sweet-not pastry-makes sat
isfactory midday meal. Where this is
the principal meal Of the day more
may be partaken of, but especially in
summer all rich and heavy made
Dishes should be avoided, and plenty
of fresh vegetables should be partaken

m had scarcely any education,
barely learning how to read and
write. His father died when Robert
was three years old, and at an early
| age the boy was apprenticed to q
Philadelphia jeWeler. In addition to
his work in the shop, young Fulton
applied himself to portrait and land
scape painting and showed such talent
that he was enabled to keep his wild
owed mother and in four years bought
a farm on which he placed her. He
then went to London to prosecute the
study Of his art as painter. So
strong a bent had he for science, how
ever, that in his odd hours he studied
mechanics and engineering. Finally
attracting the attention of the Duke
| Of Bridgewater, who was then inter
ested in an extensive canal scheme,
Fulton was induced by that gentleman
to give up painting altogether and to
devote himself to civil engineering and
invention.
In the next few years Fulton invent
ed an incline plane for supplanting ca
nal locks, mill for saving and polish
| ing marble, a machine for spinning
fax and another for making ropes
He also wrote a book on nayiga ting
canals and another on the application
Of steam to navigation. AT about this
time he attracted the notice of Edward
f. Livingston, United States minister
at Paris. In response to an invitation
, Fulton went to that city, where he
soon invented a submarine boat which
he yainly tried to have adopted by the
French, British and American govern
ments. After his failure in this at
tempt he returned to his dream Of
steam navigation and invented a small
boat which successfully navigated the
Seine. Livingston was so interested
that he advanced money to Fulton TO
come to America and build steam
boat for the Hudson. The result was
the Clermont, from whose first trip
between New York and Albany dates
the beginning of new era in the
water transportation of the world.
The Clermont marked the high tide

ARE SIGNING UP
CantaIOupe Association Met Tuesday and Members Commenced Sign
 ing Contracts

On Tuesday the board of directors of the Fl Centro Cantaloupe Growers Association disposed of considerable important business in executive ses- sion, winding up all unfinished business in readiness for the active work now under way of planting.
 Immediately following this the asso- citation membership met, nearly every member being present. The contract between grower and the shipping asso- clation provoked some discussion on the point of time of delivery of melons to the shed, this being set at 5 o'clock p. m. It is thought, however, that delivery time can be materially extend- ed when summer conditions can be fully explained to the receiving com pany. In all other points the contract was approved and members present started the signing of the agreements.
 The acreage signed ranges from 5 acres to 40 acres, with a number leav- ing that open until they have finished planting, Several of these will exceed so acres. As indicative of Fl Centro enterprise many town lots will soon be adorned with the trailing melon vines and will add their quota to the ship ments of the Fl Centro association. The lure of the melon and its profits appeals alike to stald citizen and school boy

NO COMPROMISE
Flint Says lie Has Not Compromised
 and is Not Going To

"I have agreed to no compromise whatever No compromise has been suggested and shall entertain nothing of the sort.
 This positive declaration was made by Senator Flint, when he was asked as to the probability of compromise being reached on his bill, which has passed the senate, appropriating $2,- 100000 for the purpose of construct ing the necessary repair work to stop the overfloWing of the Colorado river at its banks and indundating land with in the boundaries of the United States.
 When the measure reached the house committee on irrigation the ap propriatlon was cut to $l,OOO,OOO. This amount, in the opinion of Senator Flint, will be entirely inadequate for the purposes required and he proposes to fight for the retention of $2O 100000, as passed by the senate.
 Representative Smith. who will have charge of the measure in the house. has made several efforts to see Speak, CT Cannon, in order to secure recog- milton in the house for the bill, but up to the present time has been unsuc- cessful on account of the illness of the speaker. When he succeeds in get ting the bill before the house he says he will make a speech in favor of in- creaslng the amount of the appropria- ton to $2,OO0,ooo as provided for in Fllnt's bill, and if unsuccessful there, he will make fight in conf erence. Both Flint and Smith will undoubtedly be on the conference committee and they will undoubtedly succeed in se- curing the $2,ooo,ooo appropriation.
 An important point now Is to secure permission from Speaker Cannon for recognition to consider the blll
