Statues, ribbons and insignia were pre-

all and sundry with lavish hand the

THE FEAR OF SNAKES.

One snake in the same square mile

1t is a matter of fact that men have
greater fear of serpents than have wom-

meadow in the company of my hostess

futility. As soon as she could Olsen
gage one foot she planted ii upon the
serpent's head. In the absence of club
or stones | was compelled to stand and
witness a scene that to me was terri
flying, but to the girl furnished supreme
enjoyment.
Years afterward when | read Hag-
CARDS description of Jess fight with

entertainment that my young compan-
ion had provided for me.

PICTURES FOR THE DINING ROOM
Floral Subjects and Dainty, Refresh
ing Scenes Most Apurnpriafe

Floral Subjects and Dainty, Refresh
ing Scenes Most Appropriate.
Dlning-room pictures are limited as
ing to the accepted standards. says the
New York Herald. The modern man
and woman of good taste are fastidious
about the company they dine with, and
they prefer no pictures at all to inap-
propriate ones Floral subjects are
suited TO dining-rOOm walls, and dainty,
refreshing scenes are appropriate. Fig
ures fit better into other rooms.
French prints in delicate colorings
are favorite pictures for bedrooms
They are dainty in subject and tone
and look well in white, gold. pale gray
or any light-tinted frame. For some
time now women have been buying up
French prints at auctions and in the
shops TO be later hung in their coun-
try homes. The prints are not eX-
pensive and they are perfect for rooms
belonging to the sex they usually por-
tray. Etchings and photographers are
the next choice for bedroom walls. The
list of subjects in this line is so varied
and so long that all tastes and fancies
can be suited.
The average hall is too small TO sug-
gest a background for pictures, yet
where there is space pictures can be
hung on the slanting walls with a
h. GoloaoI hro
prints of uniform size and set in a uni
form molding may be arranged in an
ascending line parallel with the stair
way. Often pictures are hung in this
way so close together that the edges
almost touch. Hunting scenes and
quaint old prints are suited to hall
walls. The walls opposite the stairs
may be decorated with a few larger
pictures of the same style and framed
in the same way as the smaller ones.
\ higgledy-piggledy arrangement IFS
never in good taste in any room. There
must be a recognized regularity about
the hanging if the result is to be at
all satisfactory.
photographs are now hung only in
the bedroom or the boudoir. A group
of ones relatives and close friends may
occupy large space on one wall. There
may be dozen or more single pictures
framed in small ovals. circles. squares
and grouped together artistically
French frames, showing an elaborate
festOoning in gold across the top of the
picture, are exquisite for photographs.
These may be hung separately to give
the effect of medallions against the del
icate wall covering.

Woman,s Wit.

An emperor of Germany besieged a
city which belonged to one of his re-
bellious noblemen. After the siege had
lasted for long time the emperor de-
termined to take it by storm and to de-
stroy all 1t contained by fire and sword.
He did not, however, wish to injure
the defenseless women; therefore, he
sent a proclamation into the town, say
ing that all the women might leave
the place unhurt and carry with them
whatever they held most precious. The
nobleman's wife instantly decided to
take her husband, and the other women
followed her example. They soon is
sued from the city gate in long pro-
cession, each one with her husband on
her shoulders. The emperor was so
much struck with the noble conduct of
the women that he spared all even the
city itself was left untouched.

Art in CuItivating Corn.

l think not many farmers realize
the value of the main roots of corn or
the nature of the growth. One sum-
mer discovered that the roots of
some of my corn six weeks cid were
as long as the stalks. and they spread
out five or six inches in all directions
beneath the surface. In the first cult
walton | hold the shovels as closely
as possible to the young hills of corn
and allow them to go down five inches
or more in order to loosen the dirt and
permit the air to freely circulate in
the soil.
After the first blowing use my sur
face riding cultivators with four
blades, two on each side of the row,
about twenty inches long and three
face, about two inches. and behind the
blades is a drag which is held at
proper angle hg stiff spring. This
drag should be so set as TO level the
ground and at the same time ii will
pull to the surface and leave exposed
to the sun all weeds that have been
cut off by the knives two inches be-
low The cutting of the weeds below
the surface will destroy the roots and
the tops being left on the surface will
soon dry out and die.
| don't believe any general rule can
be drawn as TO how many times corn
should be cultivated other than to say
again good judgment should be used
according to condition of season and
soil. Sometimes il is only necessary
to cultivate three times at other times
we must go through the fourth. and
in extreme cases | put men into the
field with single horse and small five

after the corn is well in the tassel
This latter would occur during an ex-
tremely dry year.
l am not in favor of ridging corn
with our Central Illinois prairie soil
when laying corn by. Instead prefer
to have my surface pillow blades set ut
an angle so they will bacely throw
light covering into the hills, which
may cover up any small weeds. but not

can see no object in ridging, for at
laying-by time the corn roots form a
complete network from one row to the
other and the center of the rows needs
protection as well as the hill.

Wonderful Machines.

The sensitiveness Of the human or

with telescope, discovers millions of
stars whose light the retina OF the eye
does not appreciate; the microphone
makes the inaudible tread of a fly
sound like the tramp of cavalrymen.
The human heat sense cannot realize
a difference of temperature beyond one
fifth of degree. But the barometer,
