Chained His Mind.

A gentleman who once served on
an Irish jury tells an amusing Story
of his experiences, says the Dundee
Advertiser. When the hearing was
over and the jury retired to their
room to consider their verdict, they
found that they stood IL to l in favor
Of an acquittal, but the one happened
to be very complacent old gentle
man who rested his chin upon the
head of thick bamboo cane and an
nounced defiantly that he was ready
to stay there as long as any of them.
The hours dragged on, evening ar
rived, and the old gentleman obstin-
ately held out. The other Jurors wear
lily arranged themselves to make a
night of it. From time to the old
gentleman would contemplatively suck
the head of his cane. Finally he fell
fast asleep and the cane fell heavily
to the floor. Then one of the jury
men picked it up and found to his sur
prise that it was hollow and filled
with good old Irish whisky. The
thankful II passed the cane around,
relieved it of its contents, and then
awakened its slumbering owner Slow
ly he lifted the cane to his mouth,
sucked Intellectually for a moment,
looked at his watch, and then arose

why it is the best Of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,

on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.

MANURAL CROPS.

Many suggestions have been made
In favor of renovating land at small
cost by plowing under green crops.
OF the crops recommended may be
mentioned clover. cow peas, sofa
beans, rye and even corn and millet.
There is another crop, however, which
has been somewhat overlooked, and
which can be grown on almost any
soil, and that is turnips. The turnip
crop may be seeded early for that
purpose, or need not be planted until
July or even August, and it grows
rapidly, being off the land in short
time. On medium lands from thirty
to forty tons can be grown, and the
tops are more valuable for turning
under than are the bulbs. English
farmers grow turnips, allow sheep to
feed on them, and then turn them
under as manural crop. Turnips
may be broadcasted on well-prepared
lands, using plenty of seed, and they
will soon cover the ground. Crops
are grown in this way in our southern
States, and the cost is but little, as
they require no cultivation when the
seed is broadcasted.-Epi

LINSEED OIL MEAL.

Chemical analysis shows that old
process linseed oil meal contains an
average of about five per cent. of nj
trogen, two per cent. OF phosphoric
acid and one and half per cent. of
potash. Nitrogen may be purchased
in nitric of soda at fifteen cents per
pound, phosphoric acid in raw bone
meal at about five cents and potash
in muriate of potash at four and a
half cents, these being among the
cheapest commercial sources of fertil-
lzing substances. New process lln-
seed oil contains about one per cent.
more nitrogen than the old-process.
AS it has been demonstrated that not
more than one-third of the fertilizing
value of feeding stuff is lost in
feeding, provided the manure be care
fully saved, and used. linseed meal
offers cheap source Of fertility to
the farmer.--Epitomist.

THE PEONY.

There is no reason why any one,
with country premises or roomy
yards, should not succeed in growing
peonies. Planted in deep shade, they
are not particular as to soil or loca-
tion, and once established will bloom
better If never disturbed. They are,
in truth, as hardy as oaks, and large
clumps being always more effective
than small ones, that is the way in
which they should generally be
grown.
Autumn is the best time of the
year for setting peonies, and if strong
plants are only procured they can
usually be made to blossom the first
summer. My method of setting the
plants is to dig the holes deeper than
they require and put some fertilizer.
like well rotted horse manure, in the
bottom of them. Having sprinkled
over this some dirt, place the plants
in position and then fill around them
with earth, packing it in well, until
level with the surrounding surface
is reached. have set out peonies
many times In this way, and never
once had them fail to dc well. Fur
ther than keeping the grass from
Choking" them, give them no cul

manure around them from time to

The Latest Nature Fake.

Attacked by huge catamount 10
miles south of Poplar Bluff, E. EN-

Emory thought of his watch chain,

Why Naval Uniforms Are Blue.

Naval uniforms all the world over
pretty well are navy blue. The
British fashion in this matter has
been the rule with maritime people in
general. That blue was ever selected
for the Kings naval service was a
fortuitous happening. When in 1747
the question of uniform was being
considered the color selected had
very like to have been French gray
laced with silver.
While the King was still not quite
decided he saw the Duchess of Bed
ford in riding habit of blue faced
with white and enlivened with gold
lace. 1t was revelation. Here,
the King declared, was the uniform
for his sea-service officers; and NO
more was heard of French gray. The
navy took the blue, and every other
navy has taken to it since.-Pall Mall

THE ORANGE AS MEDICINE.
Its Value In the Treatment Of Many
Diseases Is Now Being Recognized.


People are coming around more
and more to the true opinion that min
eral drugs don't aid, but rather re-
tard recovery in case of sickness, and
that the only true medicine is to be
found in those that nature supplies
so freely-air, water and food.
Foremost In value as medicinal
foods are fresh fruits, and none of
these ranks higher than oranges,
says the Des Moines Register.
Oranges are very rich in organic salts.
They contain high amount of potas-
sium, calcium and sulphur, SURPRISING
both cows and human milk in this re-
spect. No other fruit has such a
high percentage of sulphur Orange
juice contains on an average of liz
per mile acid, which accounts for the
high amount Of potash and lime
which are necessary for the forma ion
of natural fruit acids. Pure orange
Juice is an ideal remedy for scrofula,

of uric acid and other waste matter
in the system, and therefore both a
preventive and curative food for
rheumatism and gout. Consumptive
and anemic people. will also be great
ly benefited by dir of oranges on
account of the high percentage Of
blood building salts they contain.
Lemons have the largest amount of
magnesium lime of all the fruits.
They show the greatest acidity-73
per mile. Their juice is excellent
for the preparation of both fruit and
vegetable salads and should altogether
replace vinegar which is worse than
alcohol, by depriving the blood of its
important organic salts. Its medicin-
al qualities are highly appreciated in
the cure of uric acid diseases.

STARTING THE OUNCE RIGHT.


The ounce is a fruit decidedly ma
tional as to location and soil. For
best results, deep, rich loan has
been found favorable, in location
containing plenty of moisture yet not
in soil at all sour or stagnant.
To get fine, large fruit plenty of
plant food must be ever at hand for
the growing rootlets. Ounces, in
particular, delight in sending out
their feeding roots only little below
the surface, so in cultivation, remem-
ber the plow or cultivator teeth
should not be run deep and close to
the trees. Some years may be re-
quired to overcome a vigorous root
pruning caused by too close cultiva-
ton.
In the fall covering of we'll
rotted, rich, fine manure should be
spread evenly under the tree as far
as the branches extend. Fork this in
well in the spring, and then mulch
with some coarse material, or stir
the soil once a week or so with hoe.
The orange ounce is the standard va
riety.-F. H. Plumb, in the Ameri-
