Only on rare occasions does he take
his meals with his parents. AS rule

outside to him after the parents meal
Although the discipline seems severe,
Moorish parents love their children dear

house. The girls have a monotonous
time, spent at their mothers side.

some sweetmeats to cheer up the little

Study, such as it is, is literary, rather

HOUSE:

YORK

Thousands of American women
in our homes are daily sacrificing
their lives to duty.
q In order to keep the home neat
and pretty, the children well dressed
and tidy, women overdo. A female
weakness or displacement is often
brought on and they suffer in silence,
drifting along from bad to worse,
knowing well that they ought to
have help to overcome the pains and
aches which daily make life a burden.
1t is to these faithful women that

Farming Notes.

Remember the Importance of the
kitchen garden.
Some genius has figured out that a
bee will on Il busy day draw sugar
from 10000 different clover heads.
When mustard is serious pest the
fields are sprayed with a solution that
kills the weed, but does not harm the
crop.
The government spent $4,000 this
last spring planning ways to destroy
the green bug in Kansas, Oklahoma
and Texas.
Preaching economy doesn't amount
to much. You must practice it, but
there is such a thing as being too
economical.
The Clairmont ranch, near Engle-

The Bishops Avoidance.

1t is the man who looks for trouble
who generally finds it. When Bishop
Dudley was about to transfer the field
of his labors to Kentucky, some of his
friends were inclined to demonstrate.
$50 you are really going to Kentucky"
said one of these.
Eyes, indeed" replied the bishop.
"But do you know what kind of a
state that is?' inquired the anxious one.
"Why, l saw in the paper that in a
Kentucky town one man killed another
dead for just treading on dog. What
are you going to do in place like that?''

TIPPING IN BOHEMIA.
Even the Street Car Conductor Gets Tip
Pay for Privilege Of Serving.

In the city Of Prague a tip to the
tramway conductor is considered de
rigueur. The orthodox tip consists of
but two heller. or two-tenths of a penny,
yet as 'strap hanging" is allowed for
in considering the carrying capacity of
the car the conductors should have got
a goodly pocketful of the minimum coin
by the days end.
Tipping, is was escertained in another
of Bohemia's larger towns, is so fully
recognized that the head waiter at a
cafe pays a rent for his post, supplies
all the journals for the coffee room and
looks after the other walters, and then
makes an income larger than that of a
university professor-all out of his tips.
After supper at one of the delightful
open air cafes of the capital it was
found that approximately one should
give a half krone Givepence) to the head
waiter who took payment. twopence to
the under waiter who brought the viands,
and a half penny to the boy who brought
and even brought again as one glass
was fnished-the beer.-London Chron-

Chemical Action OF Manure.

OHeHIICUI IACtIOH Oh manure.
Although cultivation is necessary and
will increase your crops, no matter how
much you cultivate, or how you labor,
it should be remembered that the plant
food in the soil is the vital element of
crop production. The crop removes this
element but by applying manure it is
put back again. Manure not only en-
riches soil with the elements of fertil-
ity, but also renders the stored plant
food of the soil more available, i'm
proves the chemical conditions, makes
the soil warmer and enables it to re-
tain more moisture and to draw it up
from below.

Touching.

Soon after his first baby was born
his wife went upstairs one evening and
found him standing by the side of the
crib and gazing earnestly at the child.
She was touched by the sight, and tears
filled her eyes. Her arms stole softly
round his neck as she nestled her cheek
caressingly against his shoulder.
He started slightly at her touch.
Darling" he murmured dreamily.
"Yes?' she said softly.
"What l was going to say is, it is in
comprehensive to me how they can pos
sibly get up such crib as that for
ven-and-six." London Times.

Thorough Cultivation.

If the ground is cultivated often
enough no weeds can grow, and if the
ground for crop is carefully prepared
before putting in the seed, by deep
blowing and frequent narrowing, the
cultivation required after the plants
are up need not be more than one inch
deep. If this is done after every rain,
there can be no weeds, and they will
become fewer every year, while the
cultivation will prevent loss of mois-
ture in the soil by affording a loose
covering of dry earth.

that the composition of the blood is

The crop was seeded on June is on
well-fertiliZed land at the rate of three
fourths bushels of seed per acre, after

The Right Way to Pack Fruit.

The Right Way to Pack Fruit.
If the fruitgrower simply tumbles
his apples into the barrel without sort
ing and without arrangement, in order
to get the greatest number into the
barrel, heads it up and ships to mar
ket, he will discover when he gets his
oh. ok that his fruit has been sold for
the lowest price. The only way to get
the top prices for fruit is to sort it
according to grades, arranging in bar
rels or boxes in layers, placing each
apple in by hand, and selecting for the
top layer fruit of the same color. The
top layer should be made up of apples
all of the same size if possible, and the
fruit should come just to the top of
the slaves Then the heading should
be carefully placed on top and gently
pressed down until it slips into the
chine. This can be done better by the
use of block placed under lever.
