Being so simple and economical to
make, it is advisable to have enough
frames to protect the number of ten

at one time, says Farm and Home.
They possess other advantages than
sheltering the young things from the
direct rays of the sun. They allow
slow evaporation, and so keep newly
watered ground moist for hours.

The Leech a Weather Prophet.

A leech confined in a vial of water
will prove an excellent weather
prophet. If the weather is to con-
tinue fine the leech lies motionless at
the bottom of the vial and rolled to-
gether in a spiral form. If it is to
be rain, either before or after noon,
it is found to have crept up to the
top of Its lodging, and there 1t re-
mains until the weather is settled.
If we are to have wind the poor pris-
oner gallops through his hmpid habi-
tation with amazing swiftness, and
seldom rests until 1t begins to blow
hard.-The Scotsman.

And From William Allen White.

In his remarks before the Chicago
Press Club, William Allen White re-
Gently made these observations
among others:
There are three things which no
man can do to the satisfaction of
other men-make love, poke the fire
and run a paper. No matter if a
man has no more sense than an oyster
and does not know how many toes
he has, he always knows how to run
the paper better than the editor. And
what is more, he tells all about it in
the street car But despite all this
valuable advice that is wasted the
editors still go on making blunders
and money.
The old-fashioned editor who had
to be all things to all men is passing
away. The time has come when
man who runs paper is his own
master. The people are becoming too
independent to look to the news
papers for their opinions, and an edf-
tors first mistake is made when he
goes into politics"
The world delights IN sunny peo-
pie. The old are hungering for love
more than for bread.

SAVED BY SEA FROM SEA.

A miraculous escape from hungry
sea in the gale which ragged last Fri
day morning was that of Captain
George B. Hix, of the steamer Nueces.
of the Mallory line.
The vessel, on her way from Gal
weston to New York, met squally
weather on rounding Cape Hatteras,
then a hundred miles to the south.
Between and a. m. Friday Cap
tain Hix, who had just come down
from the bridge, started toward the
engineers quarters. He is broad
shouldered and strongly built, but the
roaring wind threw him against the
heavy sea swept over the deck, car
rying the captain off his feet and
hurting him bodily through the net
that protects the starboard rail.
Not a man was in sight On the
deck. The officer pacing the bridge
above was as ignorant of his chief S
plight as though a thousand miles
away. No cry could be heard in the
bowling of the tempest and only his
presence of mind saved the captain
from a grave in the raging waters.
AS his body, feet foremost, slipped
through the break in the net, Hix
grasped a stanchion. 1t was only one
inch thick, but it withstood the
weight of the mans body suspended
over the ocean till returning sea
struck him back across the deck,
clearing his body of the wreckage,
and leaving him cut and bruised, but
safe. Hix says it was his worst ex-
perience in saafaring career of
more than thirty years.-New York

PENTSTEMONS.

about bed of Pentstemons in bloom
"a quaintness that to the lover of
old-fashioned garden blossoms never
fails to appeal. Seed sown now In
heat and brought on in the company
of stocks, asters, etc., will furnish
plants that will give both bloom and
beauty in August. Like many other
plants, Pentstemons respond to good

FOR SAN JOSE SCALE.

Lime sulphur washes for San Jose

CUT YOUNG TREES.

Low headed apple trees are now
generally grown in commercial or
chards. The time to start the
trees to be low headed is in the early
maturity of the young trees when
transplanted to the young orchard.
1t often takes courage to cut back
the top of the young fruit trees. but
it should be done when low tree
is desired.-Farmers' Home Journal.

SOLDIERS ENDED a DYNASTY

SOLDIERS ENDED a DYNASTY.
In the city of Nantes the morning
of November 7, 1892, was cold
one The two soldiers on guard in
the attic room of the house of Pau
line and Marie-Louise du Guiny,
being chilled after their long nights
vigil, decided to make a fire. When
they did SO, the last hope that the
line of Capet, Valois and Bourbon
would ever reign again France had
disappeared. 1t was the end of the
end. The cause, which had never
been a sure one since Louis XVI and
Marie Antoinette laid their heads
upon the block, was now beyond sal
vation.
The soldiers names were Hocher
and L.avollee. For one-half hour
they emerge out of the obscurity in
which they were born and died, to
become pivots in the revolution of
great historical events. FROM be-
hind the blaze they kindlsd there
issued the forlornest little figure in
Europe-her hair diSheyelled, her
hands blistered and her brown wool
en- gown hanging in burnt rags about
her. 1t was the young lady who
claimed the proud title OF Regent of
France-it was Marie Caroline Fer
dinande Louise-common called
Madame-widow of the Comte de
Chambord; daughter of Francis l.,
King of France, the last of her race
to raise the white flag with the gold
en- lilies, which. for so many centu
ries, had been the foremost banner
in the world.

there was a year when the Duchesse
de Berry threw over international
politics the most potent of all spells
that of a great mystery. From
April 23, 1892. to November Z, of
the same year, she vanished from
public sight as completely as il the
earth had opened to receive her.
There was excitement in every court.
and uneasiness in every cabinet, from
London to Vienna. and from Moscow
to Madrid. Her disappearance might
mean anything, from a frivolous es-
capade to a European war. She had
been last seen in Italy. on the road

VISIT TO DOLLS HOSPITAL.

VISIT TO DOLLS HOSPITAL.
The poor little crippled dOllies are
not as lucky nor as stylish as either
the cats and dogs or even the birds.
They have no private hospital nor
boarding house, nor does any kind
hearted society prevent careless,
thoughtless children from dropping
and breaking the heads and limbs of
the poor little dollies.
The dolls hospital consists only
of one single room. On the wooden
operating table one secs a ball of
elastic cord, a hammer and some
tacks, glue pot, pair of nippers
and also a pair of scissors. These
seem to be the strange instruments
and medicines that cure all the poor
dollies' ills, administered by prac-
tical. skillful surgeon, who must be
a jack of all trades. He is able to
attend to all the unfOrtunateS
brought to this home for cripples, as
the dolls hospital should be called.
Some of the doIlies looked as if they
had Just returned from the war.
Others looked as though they lad
escaped from a burning house. 1t
would really make you shudder, were
it not such a funny sight, to see all
the bruised and broken bodies lying
on the operating table, and, as the
doctor laughingly said, awaiting
surgical repairs.
All the dollies looked fat and
healthy, and, as their rosy cheeks in
dicated, they had never been sick
before.
Still, how strange to see 80 many
cripples! Some dolls were without
arms or legs. Quite few lacked an
eye Or even both eyes, while some
seemed to have been scalped by the
Indians and needed a new wig.
Nthays looked as though their noses

THE FOUNDER.

This is a short tale about floun-
der, but it has big moral. A f1oun-
der is a funny fish. He is fiat, and he
is brown on one side. This is how
it happened: When the founder was
a little founder he was just the same
color as any other little fish. and he
had one eye on each side of his nose.
But he had a very lazy disposition,
and instead of swimming round in
school like the other little fishes, he
lay in bed in the mud long after
breakfast time He always lay on
the same side, until bye and bye the
eye that was on the down side found
it didn't have anything but mud to
look at, and it said: This is stupid,
looking at mud. I'm not going to
stay here any more. I'm going to
find if l can't find something more
interesting to look at than just mud"
And so it moved a little bit nearer
the founders nose, and it moved
a little bit nearer still, and then 1t
began to see a little light. So it
moved and it moved till it moved
over HIS uOSS anu Iloit al ouiu oiA VI
other side of his face. And then he
had two eyes on the same side. All
this time the skin of the founder S
down side got paler because it was
always in the dark, and the skin of
the founders up side got browner
and browner till it looked just like
the mud, so that no hungry fishes no
ticed the little founder and he had
a chance to grow big and strong.
But because he had spent so much
of his time in bed he forgot how to
swim about very we'll, and could only
just shove along the bottom of the
ocean.
And the moral of this is not that
If you stay in bed and are lazy your
eyes will both come on the same side
of your face and you'll get brown on
one side and white on the other, but
that if you don't do the things you
can do because you don't want to,
after a while when you do want to
you won't be able to do them at all.

NEWLY SET PLANTS.

Newly transplanted plants always
demand more or less protection from
the blighting effects of too much sun
and wind. 1t is best achieved by
making a shelter such as is shown in
the cut.
Two ten-foot poles and two three
foot pieces of any convenient thick
ness for the crosspieces, with four
fourteen-inch weatherstrips for the
legs, constitute the frame. In the
middle of it two hooks should be in
serted on each side, and upon these
the covering fastened, which can thus
be adjusted very quickly. The cover
ing may consist of burlaps or any
kind of rough sacking.

one inch between the two layers OF

to want to house the dependent and in

tunity tomorrow to vote a 2-mill tax
for a modern building. The state OF

fireproof structures for all of their
hospitals and public homes. Progress
i've counties like Polk county. for in
stance do the same. Marshall county
has been housing it's wards in a verit-
able firetrap and would be clearly liza
bic for immense damages If an accieen
should ever happen For these reasons
the supervisors have decided to erect
a brick building II the voters will give
them the money amounting to approx
imately $4,000. The 2-mill tax on a
quarter section of S100-land assessed at
about $50 per acre and taxed on one
fourth of that would amount to $3.50.
