o VEGETABLES.

1t is safe to say that it is rather a
new discovery that vegetables are en-
dowed with qualities which are
transmitted to those who feed upon
the kindly fruits Of the earth. These
qualities are physical, moral and in
tellectual. If we desire to develop
the reasoning powers and to endow
the equilibrium Of the mind with
calmness and concentration we must
eat potatoes, but we must at the
same time remember that oyerindul-
gence in that succulent root may
produce apathy and indifference.
Carrots produce good temper and
are strongly recommended to peevish
and bilious people. French beans
the haricotyer tofour French friends
lead to d%ay-dreaming and artistic
thoughts and sentiments, and no
better food for authors and journal
lists can be found.-Lady's Pictorial.

NOVEL DEVICE FOR HOTELS.

Guests at the Hotel Astor, New
York, when they see a small electric
bulb near the telephone in their
rooms light up know that there is
a letter for them in their mail box
in the Office. In each mail box
there is a copper flap that is pushed
back when a letter is put in the
pigeonhole, and the flap completes
the circuit that lights the small cleo
trio lamp in the guests room. The
device is the invention of Fred A.
Muschenheim, brother Of the pro-
prietor of the hotel.

SNAKE WAS FOND OF SQUADS
Revolver Shot Probably Saved Colony
Of Pigeons from Complete
Annihilation.

A blaeksnake fully six feet long
and nearly two inches in diameter
which had been capturing Young
pigeons on the rocks just above the
Birmingham station of the Panhan-
die railroad has attracted much at
tention.
Employees at the station and
watchmen at the mouth of the
Mount Washington street a tun-
mel have seen the serpent several
times, but none has been bold
enough to attempt to capture it More
than a score of pigeons have nests
on the rocks and the snake is said to
have gone down the hillside from the
grass and shrubbery to secure a fire.
quent meal Of the squads.
Capt. c. Z. Kemp of the police
force of the Panhandle railroad was
at the station recently. The snake
was perched on a rock in full view.
Capt. Kemp fired at the serpent with
his revolver. The snake fell
from the rock and rolled down the
hillside to the rocks above the tun-
mel. Four or five men climbed the
rocks, but owing to the difficult
scaling the snake could not be Sc
cured. = Pittsburg Chronicle-Te

September is a good month
for caponizing.
Prepare the hens now for fall
and winter laying.
A henhouse without a south
window is a mistake
Scrape up a good lot Of road
dust for the stock this winter.
Do not tease the gander. There
is no more dangerous fowl in the
poultry world than an old gander,
especially during breeding sea,
son.
If a fowls legs are scaly, try
the remedy Of coating them with
gas-tar. Allow it to remain until
worn off, when the scales as a
rule will follow.
Sow all duck yards, as soon as
empty, to rye. This not only will
make an excellent green food,
cut up in inch lengths, but the
the rye will disinfect the soil.
AS a rule, a woman makes a
success of poultry culture be-
cause she is careful, watchful
and mindful of all the small de-
tails-the little leaks that often
sink the ship.
Sebtember is a good time to
purchase new blood in the way
Of cockrels or pullets, as much
better bargains can be secured
now than later on when the de-
mand is greater.
Now is the time to whitewash
the interior of the houses,
there is no better seaon than now
to repair the roofs and fix up
things in general in anticipation
of a long and hard winter.
Even the air Of the hen house
must be kept clean-clean by the
entrance Of pure fresh, air and
and the searching sunshine.
Have the house so arranged that
it can be made an open front dur
ing the day time.
The molting season is here.
Hens that are Noting now will
be through about December and
can be relied upon to furnish a
good supply Of eggs during the
following three months when pri-
ces are at the top notch.

HER EYEBROWS DIDN'T MATCH.

81 went to make a call the other
day." said he, "and was met by a
young woman who was visiting at
the house. For the moment l stood
and stared at her without trying to
introduce myself. She had one bril-
%liantly black eyebrow and one fan
tastically blonde one. You can't
think how striking the effect was. 1t
seems to me that in her place l
should have found some sort Of dye
that would have kept those eye
brows from being so conspicuous. Or,
perhaps, that was what she was striv-
ing for"

view, which will be OF interest:
st ana going to try and give the
people the very best service this
Christmas they have ever had. With
q little assistance on the part OF the
public I will be successful.
'sThe most important thing for
people to remember is that when
they want to mail a package be sure
to have 1t addressed in full before
they bring 1t to the office for mailing
Have your name and address on 1t by
all means, so IL the address gets lost
you will be sure to get it back. Have
both addresses on the package writ
ten with pen and ink. II you want
the package registered, it will be a
good idea to write the word regis
tered on it, so 1t can be readily dis
tinguished from the ordinary mail
matter.
Another important point is, mail
packages early. Christmas comes on
Friday this year. Ten days before is
not the least bit too early to COM
mence mailing packages for the most
distant States. Then Monday morn
ing. or az soon afterward as possible,
bring up every package you have.
