The so.CalIed Frost Flowers.

The phenomena called frost fiow-
ers" was discussed before the Bio
logical Society in Washington recent
ly by DR.. Walters. The so-called fiow-
ers are composed of ice that forms
on frosty mornings in autumn and
early winter on certain plants. The
peculiar thing to be explained is that
frost flowers do not form on all
plants, but only on about twenty-six
species, as far as yet known. Among
these are frostweed, dittany, marsh
fleabanes and cultivated heliotrope.
The phenomena is apparently due to
capillary movement of water in the
plant, but wholly satisfactory expla-
nation is lacking.

PIG NOTES.

Don't allow hogs to sleep in dusty
beds.
In summer give pigs the run of the
grass.
Farmers with scant pasturage for
their hogs should keep the piggeries
neat and clean and give the pigs ac-
cess to shade and water.
The most profitable hog is the one
that is farrowed in the spring, kept
six or seven months and made to
weigh about 200 pounds in that time.
1t is rarely profitable to keep hog
over winter, unless unusually good
quarters are furnished for it.

VALUE OF SHEEP.

In one sense sheep might be con-
eidered valuable on every farm as
much as poultry is. They are not in
the way, 1t costs little to keep them.
they are great weed cleaners, they
benefit the soil more than any other
stock and they practically pay for
themselves each year. Many of our
side hill pastures that are now almost
barren or are simply big weed
patches could be returned to profita-
BILE grass in short time If sheep
were placed on them.

Wickerwork Boats.

The novel lifeboat of c. J. F. de
Vos of Rotterdam has hull made en-
tirely of cane or wickerwork, and is
claimed to possess numerous advant-
ages. 1t is practically unbreakable,
and unsuitable. 1t IS not liable
to leakage, requires no protective
painting, is cheaper than-other boats,
lighter than ordinary wooden boats
and has more than the usual room
for storing provisions and water.

Gas Made Heavy.

Gas so dense as to sink in liquid
was a singular result of late exper
iment by DR.. Kammerliugh Onnes.
A mixture of hydrogen and helium in
a capillary tube plunged into liquid
hydrogen was compressed beyond 40
atmospheres, when the hydrogen be-
came almost entirely liquefied and a
bubble of helium was seen to descend
into it. AS the pressure was reIeas-
ed, the hellum rose again and fioated
on the surface of the liquid.

TEA DRINKING IS BENEFICIAL

So says one of the best known expert physicians on beverages Tn this world He claims tea drinking in moderation is beneficial in all the ordinary conditions of life because he says we live in a rush and worry everyday life, and refreshing stimulant in the form of a properly prepared cup of good tea (the kind we sell) is very refreshing to the over-worked brain. That speaks pretty good for tea, doesn't it? Anl during the past week we've heard of an incident regarding our nice tasting coffee which proves that our coffees are superior to all others One night it rained very hard and the man of the house was sent to our store for coffee, but he dropped into the first store he came to and purchased the coffee and then skid dooed home Next morning when his coffee was served he didn't like it, but said nothing and took his medicine bravely; but when his , year old son sat to breakfast table there was dickens" of a TOW; he didn't do thing but read the riot act to mamma and just told her thu the coffee was bum coffee" and h2 was sure it wasn't Phelan's coffee. But when mamma showed her all thority he said no more, but the faces he made while finishing lis breakfast would stop some of our aldermanic debates in short order Therefore, take our advice and when you're purchasing tea, coffee, cocoa or buttermilk, buy it at our store and have peace and good cheer ih your house and you'll save lots of trouble by remembering

BRADsTREET's REPORT.

LEFT Over From Last Week.
Expansion continues In trade and
industrial lines, shipments over the
railways are increasing, idleness Is
being diminished, prices in numerous
lines are higher, collections are bet
ter, and sentiment is brighter than it
has been for twelve months past. In
many sections retailers stocks are
badly broken, owing to conservative
purchases heretofore made, and as a
result requests for immediate ship
ments are quite the rule. On this
account, and because of more season
able weather, sorting up orders in
wholesale and jobbing lines are of
larger volume. Spring business Is
also developing quite freely, although
widespread improvement In this d.
rection Is not looked for until after
the turn of the new year. Demand
for holiday goods is increasing. Prac-
tically every section, save the south,
and where the supply of water has
been insufficient for industrial opera
tions, as, for instance, parts of New
England, has shared In the general
improvement.
Public participation In stock spec
ulation at New York continues on a
large scale. The market developed
somewhat reactionary tendencies on
the Tobacco decision and disappoint-
ment over the failure of the Harri-
man party to bring out the expected
deals in Southern and Union Pacific.
Latterly, however, United States
Steel common developed phenomenal
strength, rising on enormous trans
actions to the highest price on record
The bond market is firm.
Bank clearings for the week end

crease of 35.7 per cent over last
week, a gain of so per cent. over this
week last year, and an advance of Z
per cent over the like week Of 1907.

MORMON CHURCH
OPPOSES RATTLE
Views of Joseph II. Smith.

left Over From Last Week.
The following extract from an ex-
preston given out by the president
of the l.. D. s. church In regard to
rafting quilts and other things to
raise money for charitable or philan-
thropic purposes, goes to the core,
and is worthy of consideration.
Among the vices Of the present age
gambling is very generally con-
demned. Gambling under its true
name is forbidden by law, and is dis
countenanced by the self-respecting
elements Of society. Nevertheless, In
numerous guises the demon of chance
Is welcomed in the home, in fashion
able clubs, and at entertainments for
worthy charities, even within the pre-
cincts of sacred edifices. Devices for
raising money by appealing to the
gambling instinct are common Access
series at chuch sociables, ward fairs,
and the like.
Whatever may be the condition
elsewhere, this custom Is not to be
sanctioned within this church; and
any organization allowing such is in
Opposition to the counsel and instruc-
ton of the general authorities of the
church.
Without attempting to specify or
particularize the many Objectionable
forms given to this evil practice
amongst us, we say again to the peo-
pie that no kind of chance game,
guessing contest or raffling device,
can be approved in any entertainment
under the auspices of our church or
CARNATIONS.
The desire to get something Of
value for little or nothing is PERM
cious; and any proceeding that
strengthens that desire is an effec-
tive aid to the gambling spirit, which
has proved veritable demon Of de-
struction to thousands. Risking a
dime in the hope of winning a dollar
in any game of chance is species of
gambling.
If the mothers rattle, the children
will gamble. Rafting is gambling"
Some say, What shall we do? We
have quilts on hand--we can not sell
them and we need means to supply
our treasury, which we can obtain by
rafting, for the benefit of the poor
Rather let the quilts rot on the
shelves than adopt the old adage,
The end will sanctify the means"
