TURKEY AND FOX AT ONE SHOT.
Texas Hunters Explanation of His
Deadly Workmanship.

'The best double shot / ever made
with q shotgun" said James Gladstone
of Fredericksburg, Tex, was while
hunting wild turkey near Boerne, about
forty miles from where l live.
Il had heard there were lots of wild
turkeys in that vicinity, and so l started
out one morning at daybreak to find
some. was creeping along in dry
rayine and heard a .shen putting. |
crouched down as near the ground as
could and crept up. in the direction of
the seemingly excited bird.
Pretty soon | heard her futterng and
saw her drop down from a small oak
tree. AS soon as she hit the ground /
fired, and when | reached the place
where she was l found dead turkey
and dead fox. | was astonished and
could not believe my own eyes until
felt the carcass of the fox to see if it
was still warm.
"My hunter instinct came to my rescue,
and | found the solution of the mystery
in the explanation that the fox had
climbed the tree in pursuit of the turkey
hen, sprang upon her unaWares, and
when both fell to the ground in the
scramble | got in my deadly marksman-
ship and made a record which L have
not seen beaten. "-Washington Post.

The Potato Bug.

The potato bug, or Colorado potato
beetle, passes tie winter in the ma
ture form. As soon as the potatoes
are up these bugs begin feeding and
laying eggs on the young leaves. The
young that haSch from these eggs, as
well as the next brood, are the ones
that do the damage. Therefore, it is
necessary that treatment should be be-
gun as soon as the young beetles APP
pear on the vines. Dust the plants
while the dew is on, with mixture
made of 1 pound Paris green to 10
pounds of slaked lime or cheap flour.
Another good method is to spray the
plants with a composition of ounces
of Paris green in so gallons of BOr
deauX mixture, spraying the vines two
or three times. For this purpose the
Bordeaux mixture should be made out
of 3 pounds of bluestOne and pounds
of lime to 30 gallons of water. This
mixture will not only kill the beetle,
but also prevent the early blight from
destroying the leaves and stems of the
vines.

DOutzais.

Few shrubs excel the deutzia for
snowy blossoms in the early summer
The flower clusters are usually white,
displayed prominently and with profuse
prodigality, springing from the young
wood of the previous years growth.
The flowers do not last long when cut
but their snowy effect with gracefully
arching sprays is well worth enjoying
Most of the species respond readily. to
cultivation in any fairly good soil, when
it is we'll drained. Many of the best
kinds are hardy even in the New Eng
land states.
Deutzias should be pruned any time
after the leaves have fallen in the late
fall or during the winter. The young
wood of the previous years growth must
not be cut back but the old Towering
sprays should be removed and weak
spindling wood and decrepit branches
cut out. The plants appear to be re-
markably free from the attacks OF in
sect pests.
Deutzia gracilis, a native of Japan,
is a low neat growing shrub seldom over
two feet and a half high, with branches
slightly arching from which panicles of
white blossoms are aDundantly produced.
1t comes into bloom the first week III
June 1t is well adapted for planting i'll
the foreground of tall shrubs of similar
habit and for massl1g and grouping at
the foundations of buildings where tall
shrubs cannot be used This is one of
the easiest shrubs to force into bloom IN

Deutzia parvafiora is a native of
northern China and the Amoor country.
1t is perhaps one of the hardest species
and comes into bloom a week or SO aft

Pipe Buried in Tree Trunk.

The other day George Ranney and
George Brann. of Passadumkeag were
saving into stovewood a large elm tree
that stood near the old hotel, when their;
saw encountered something hard in the
cut. They kept saving wood, however,
until they had the stick cut off, and then
investigated and found a clay pipe i'm
bedded in the very center of the tree.
The pipe was in a perfect state of pres
ervation and filled with tobacco. the
same as when it was left there. Expla-
nations were rife as to the presence of
the pipe in the center of the tree, but
the most plausible one was given by one
of the old residents. He said that some:
forty years ago some devil driver got
after a yoke of oxen in that town and
ran over this tree and, it being small
at that time, bent it to the ground.
About this time he thinks that some one
used the bent tree for a pipe rack and
then forgot to remove the pipe, and the
tree after many years grew around the
pipe until it was in the very center of
the tree-Ke nnebec Journal.

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an in1amed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachan Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal cond-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

case of Deafness Caused by Catarrh) that

Are the garden and truck patches
well drained?
To make the garden soil warm drain
off all the surface water possible. Use
underdrains and overdrSins
The best way to secure very early
plants is to start them in the seed box
or hotbed, then transplant to two-inch
flower pots as soon as the seedlings are
large enough.
Don't work the garden and truck
patch while the ground is wet in the
haste of starting an early crop. NoUn-
ing is gained, but much is lost, in work
ing wet soils.
The garden should have two gates
one small one and one large one The
small gate should be convenient to the
house and the large one convenient to
the barn for hauling manure and en-
tering with team and tools.
If the garden fence is defective either
mend the old or build a new one. Fix
it so poultry and other animals cannot
disturb. 1t is a waste of time and
vexation of spirit to have the chick
ems and ducks forever destroying the
garden.

The chief cause of Constipation and
Indigestion is weakness OF the Muscles
that contract the Intestines and Bowels.
Cascarets are practically to the Bowel
Muscles what Massage and Cold Bath
are to the Athletic Muscles.
They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to
contract, expand. and squeeze the Diges-
tive Juices out of food eaten.
They don't help the Bowels and Liver in
such way as to make them lean upon
similar assistance for the future.
This is why, with Cascarets, the dose
may be lessened each succeeding time
instead of increased, as It must be with all
other Cathartics and Laxatives.

EGG SHAPED HEADS.
Fashionable in the New Hebrides-How
They Are Secured.

They Are Secured.
The egg-shaped heads Of some OF the
natives of Malekula, i'll the Ne"
Hebrides, were once thought to be natur-
ally conical. For that reason scientific
men decided that the NIalekulans were III
the lowest rrng of the human ladder.
Later it was found that the conicai
heads were produced as the Chinese
women distorted their feet, by binding
them in infancy. The egg-shaped head
is still fashionable in Malekula, where
some extraordinary results are achieved.
A conical head retreats from the fore
head in such a manner that one is
amazed to know the owner of this re-
markable profile preserves his or her
proper senses, such as they are. / could
not hear, however that the custom was
supposed to affect the intellect III any
way.
The conical shape is produced by wind
ing strong ~sinnet cord spirally about the
heads of young babies and tightening the
coils from time to time. A piece OF
plated mat is first put on the head and
the cord is coiled over this, so as to give
it a good purchase The crown of the
head is left to develop in the upward
and backward fashion that is so much
admired.

If the Sun Were Blue

If the sun were blue there would be
only two colors in the world, blue and
black; or if it were red, everything would
be red and black. In the latter case
there would he red snow, red lilies, black

There would be little variety, however,
if the sun were green. Things that are
now yellow, would still remain that col
