Water Lilies From Seed.

Many of the choicest of water
lilies. even the magnificent Victoria
regia, may be grown from seed. For
many years the seed of this lily when
brought to this country failed to
germinate, says Homes and Gardens
It was finally found that by bot
tling the seeds in the water OF the
river in which they grew they could
he transported safely from the wa
ters of the Amazon to the Far West
Here the lily Is usually grown with
bottom heat, as 1t is very tender
Seeds started In pots In tempera-
ture of ninety degrees Will germi-
nate In about two weeks and may be
planted out in the open air when the
nights have become warm-usually
about the first of June, and VIII
bloom the same summer. but cannot
be carried through the winter but
must be started afresh each season
either by the purchase of plants
or the sowing of seed. the latter be-
Ing, OF course, much more economi-
cal as seeds may be purchased for a
few nickels apiece. the plants costing
as many dollars.

Preserve Youth and Health.

Avoid fear in all it's varied forms OF
expression. 1t is the greatest enemy
OF the human race
Avoid eXcesses of all kinds: they
are injurious. The long life must
be a temperate, regular one.
Don't live to eat; but eat TO live.
Many Of our ills are due to overeatng,
to eating the wrong things and to ir.
regular eating.
Don't allow yourself to think on
your birthday that you are year
older and so much nearer the end. B.
Never look ON the dark side; take
sunny views of everything: a sunny
thought drives away the shadows.
BE child; live simply and naturally
and keep clear of entangling alliances
and complications of all kinds.
Cultivate the spirit of contentment
all discomfort and dissatisfaction bring
are burrows prematurely to the face.
Form a habit of throwing OF before
going to bed at night all the cares and
anxietes OF the day--everythine
which can possibly cause mental wear
and tear or deprive you of rest.

Oldest Artificial Leo.

What Is said by he'"British Med
lcal Journal" to be- the oldest artificial
leg in existence is now in the museum
OF the Royal College of Surgeons of
England. II was found In a tomb at
Capua, and is described in the cata-
logue as follows; :" Roman artificial
leg; the artificial limb accurately rep
resents the form OF the leg; it is made
OF pieces OF plain bronze, fgastened by
bronze nails to wooden core. Two
iron bars, having holes at their free
ends, are attached TO the upper eXtrem-
ity OF the bronze; quadrilateral piece
OF iron, found near the position of the
loot, Is thought to nave given strength
To 1t. There is no trace of the foot
and the wooden core had nearly crum-
bied away. That skeleton had its waist
surrounded by a belt of sheet bronze
edged with small hivets, probably used
TO fasten a leather lining Three paint-
ed vases (red figures on black
ground) lay ut the feet OF the skeleton.
The vases belong to rather advanced
period In the decline OF art (about
three hundred years B. C)."--Phila-
delphia Record.

conaestlon of uddera.

In free-milking cows it is not un.
common for the udders to become con
gested at the beginning of the lacta.
tion period. If all the milk is not re.
moved, the udder will then become
inhamed. When this occurs the gland
will secrete but little milk and this
is the cause of many caked and swol
len udders. The treatment is mainly
preventive. When q calf does not
take all the mothers milk, the udder
should be emptied by milking at least
once day until the calf is two weeks
old. When the cows can not be han
died, relieving the udder by milking
can not be practiced. A common Gus.
tom in this country is to put two
calves with one COW. In simple inham-
nation of the udder, rubbing the in
famed parts with camphorated oint.
ment is all the treatment necessary.

Rlpenina Cream.

No part of the buttermalling Is OF
more importance that the ripening of
the cream. In winter it is frequently
attended with considerable difficulty,
as few farm houses are provided with
cOnyeniences for maintaining even
temperature, says Hoard's Dairyman
Where there are several fresh cows
In the herd cream ripens better, with
less danger of introducing harmful
bacteria. Fresh buttermilli. in such
cases usually furnishes a starter suf,
licient for all practical purposes. Save
out a couple Of quarts each time and

PUNIsHMENTs IN CHINA.
Many Cruel Forms Abolished Forever
Others Modified.

WI Ting-fang, long Chinese minister
IN Washington, has succeeded IN induc-
ing the imperial government a, Pekin
to abolish some OF its cruel punlsh-
ments. An imperial edict gives WI
and Shen Chiapen credit for suggesting
The changes and then proceeds: "At
the beginning Of the dynasty when our
sovereignty extended within the great
wall, the most severe punishment was
beheading. In the year OF Hsln Jul.
however when we revised the laws
we permitted the introduction OF those
punishments which had been prevalent
in the Ming dynasty. hence ling chit
(cutting to piecesl was allowed for GER
tain crimes Now that we are once
more revising the laws. therefore we
hereby order that for all variations OF
the crime OF taking life. beheading
shall be the extreme penalty in future;
ling chi, exposure OF the detached head
ana mutllatiOn of the corpse must be
abolished forever"
The penalty of chan hsiao, or what
might be termed compound decapita-
ton. or the entire removal of the head
and exposure of the same, must here

Between so and so degrees c., at

who have a poor water supply to this
simple method of overcoming the diff
liculty and states that the expert
