HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Don't dig the autumn leaves into
your garden now; make a compost
heap.
Prune trees for fruit in spring as
soon as leaves are about full grown;
for wood growth in winter when dor
mant and wood is not frozen.
Do not delay in mulching the straw
berry beds, if not already done. Coarse
March hay is best, but use straw or
coarse litter rather than nothing.
Mice and rabbits sometimes burrow
into the snow and gnaw the bark of
the fruit trees. Go around the orchard
and stamp the snow in around the
trees.
Pear cider, or perry, is made in ex-
actly the same way as apple cider.
But perry is much less palatabIe than
apple cider, and has never become
popular in America.
In laying down raspberries for win
ter, remove a little soil from one side
of the plants, %loosening the roots on
the other. Then lay down the plants
in the direction from which the soil
was removed, and cover the heads
lightly with earth.

Life Without Mind.

The possibility of life without mind,
while not subject to positive proof, is
a theory that has gained considerable
strength recently through its advocacy
by DR.. L, Laloy, librarian Of the
Academy of Sciences, Paris. He be-
lieves that many of the smaller living
organisms, such as insects, are mere
moving machines, having no more il
t~elligence than may be ascribed to
plants. He refers to the well known
fact that insects are attracted by light,
often to their w destruction, and as
cribes it to the same cause that in,
clines the plant to grow toward the
light.

PLANTS THAT STORE WATER.
Product of Sonora Desert Which Sci
entists Have Gone to Study.

A gentleman connected with the
Carnegie institute will leave this coun'
try shortly on an extended exploration
Of the deserts of central and southern
Mexico to study the storage of water
by certain plants growing in those re.
glons.
1t has developed that in places
where there is only a slight, irregular
rainfall, plants peculiar to the district
have no special reservoirs for the stor-
age of water, while in regions where
the rainfall is confined to brief regu-
lar periods, plants are found which
are provided with various devices for
storing water for consumption during
dry spells.
An example of this provision of ma
ture has been discovered in a "guare-
| qui," a relative of the squash and
pumpkin, which fourishes in the des.
ert of Sonora, a locality in which ali
the rain falls in a period of six weeks.
The base of the stem of the plant IL
swollen to form a hard woody struc.
ture, in time reaching the size of ,
large squash.
The gray of the sands of the Soxs3>2

pearance of a worn gray boulder pro.
jecting above the sand, while t.as

the plant during the dry spell follo~.
ing.
at the close Of the rainy season enc
vinelike stems Of the plant die down,
the small roots dry up, and the plant,
in the form of it's tuber, lies dormant
on the burning sands throughout the
long hot months following.
When the rainy season again re-
turns the plant reforms its roots,
stems, leaves and flowers, completes
its short season of activity and then
resumes it's inactive life through the
succeeding dry season, repeating the
performance year aftetr year. Some
of these plants have accomplished this
feat five years in succession.

AWFUL EFFEcr o. ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow sores-crew
worse--Parents Discouraeed-cu-
ticura Drove Sores Away.

"our little girl, n year and q
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called it.
We called in the family doctor, and
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right in a few days.
The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He said she
was teething, as soon as the teeth
were through she would be all right.
But she still grew worse. Doctor
No. 3 said it was eczema. By this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, soswe let him try it about
a week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one Of
her eyes. OF course we 'phoned for
doctor No. 8. He came we and
looked her over, and said that he
could not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
to some eye specialist, since it was
an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to
doctor No. 4, n he said the eye
sight vas gone, but that he could
help it. We thought we would try
doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
couraged. l saw one of the Cuti-
cura advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, so l went and purchased
a set of Cuticura Remedies, which
cost me 81, and in three days cur
daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and In n week all sores had
disappeared. OF course it could not
restore the ~eyesight, but if We had
used Cuticura in time | am confident
that it would have saved the eye. We
think there is no remedy so good for
any skin trouble or impurity of the
blood as Cuticura. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank

worked very satisfactorily when it has
been adopted. On account of the
natural fall of the land, it is ONE

observation of the practical fruit

Moreover, British and American read
ers will probably oon have a chance
to read this tale, for Queen Alexandra,

was so much impressed by it that she
advised the authoress to have it
translated into English. This transla-
ton is now proceeding and the Eng
fish version is to be dedicated to the
queen, who is herself a Dane.

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
p%ortance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the

fabrics. It's great strength as a stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

BUILT OF FOSSIL ZONES.
cueerest House in the World Is In
Wyoming.


"The queerest house in the world"
said a ~zoologist, lis undoubtedly the
famous Bone cabin of Wyoming, near
the Medicine Bow river. This cab
ms foundations are built of fossil
bones.
Bones Of dinosaurs jaws Of the
diplodocus. teeth of the b~rontosaurus,
knuckles Of the ichthyosaurus, yertet-
brae of the camarasaurus, chunks Of
the barosaurus, the c%etiosaurus, the
brachiosaurus, the stegiosaurus, the
the orintholestes or bird-catching di.
nosaur-all entered into this wonder
full cabins foundations. making it the
most curious and the most costly edi-
flee, not excepting the Pennsylvania
capitol, in America.
This hut was built by a Mexican
s~heep-herder, who had happened by
chance on the ~grandest extinct animal
bed in the world. This was a plot
of about so yards square wherein lay
in rich profusion the bones of all
the animals of the reptilian age. The
heaviest and the lightest, the largest
and the smallest, the most tranquil
and the most ferocious lay side by
side.
THE place was evidently once a
river bar, and the dead bodies that
foated down the stream were here
arrested, to lie for hundreds of thou
sands of years till a sheep-herder
came along, and, roofing among the
bones as big as powders, set about
the building of the worlds queerest
cabin"

Early Morning Fire.

Dodgeville Chronicle, June %: This

belonging to the A. b. Robinson
estate, on Union street, was discovered
to be on fire and before the fire com
panies arrived the blaze was beyond
control and spread to the adjoining
barn of George Elvod. The two barns
were totally destroyed. The firemen
spent their energy in saving the sur
rounding buildings. The Robinson
barn was being occupied by Sheriff
McGilligan, who lost pig, some hay,
harnesses and other articles. Mr..
Elvod lost pool table and some
wood and Andrew ElvOd lost a rub

The Elvod loss is about $500 and the
Robinson estate about $500, with no
insurance. The origin of the fire ls
