Marriage and Meanness.

Some years ago there lived in Atch.
ison a young woman noted for he1
good works and gentleness. She was
always helping the poor and was pa.
tient and kind and universally ad
mired. She married a fairly good mar
and abused him within three months
She had been good and patient fol
years, but a husband was too much
for her; she had never been o tc
any one until she was o to hel
husband. There is something about
marriage that stirs up hidden depths
of meanness on both sides.-Atchisor

All in Fight Against tuberculosis.

Prevention of tuberculosis versus
dividends is the proposition which
some Of our largest insurance COM
panies are now trying to establish.
The Metropolitan Life recently ap-
piled for permission to erect a sana-
forum for its policy holders and en-
ployes afflicted with tuberculosis, but
the application was refused on grounds
of illegality by New York State Super
intendent of Insurance Hotchkiss. The
company is, however, conducting an
active educational campaign by dis
tributing 100000 pamphlets among
it's policy holders. The Provident
Savings Life Assurance society has
also established a health bureau.
where its policy holders may receive
free medical advice. Several fraternal
orders, notably the Modern Woodmen,
Knights Of Pythias, Royal League.
Royal Arcanum and Workmen's Cir
Gle, have already established or are
contemplating the erection Of sana
toria for their ~tuberculous members.

ORCHARD NOTES..

Keep the tree, like the animal, that
proves itself.
1t is said that alfalfa is injurious
as an orchard sown crop.
If you plant your young orchard in
garden crops, ETC., don't fail to fer.
tillze them.
What's the use Of buying trees If
you are going to allow the horses and
COWS to destroy them?
Barnyard manure. cotton seed meal
and acid phosphates are excellent fer.
tilizers for Irish potatoes.
It requires some ingenuity to bring
tender, young plants through thei,
first three weeks Of existence when
the sun is hitting them at about 12l
degrees-but it pays.

IT WORKS
The laborer Eats Food That Would
Wreck an Office Man.

Men who are actively engaged at
hard work can sometimes eat food
that would wreck a man who is more
closely confined.
+ This is illustrated in the following
story:
II was for IL years clerk in a store
working actively and drank coffee all
the time without much trouble until
after I entered the telegraph service.
There I got very little exercise and
drinking strong coffee, my nerves
were unsteady and my stomach got
weak and I was soon a very sick man.
I quit meat and tobacco and in fact I
stopped eating everything which I
thought might affect me except coffee,
but still my condition grew worse, and
I was all but a wreck.
II finally quit coffee and com.
menced to use Postum a few years
ago, and I am speaking the truth
when I say, my condition commenced
to improve Immediately and today I
am well and can eat anything I want
without any bad effects, all due to
shifting from coffee to Postum.
IT told my wife today 1 believed I
could digest a brick If l had a cup of
postum to go with 1t.

The full-grown larva changes to a

viously makes with silk and leaves.
These cocoons may be in groups or
singly in some secluded spots or at
the tips of branches of trees on
which they have fed. The cocoon ia

The moths of both are pure

the insect gets it's name. The female
moth has an expanse Of about one and
one-half inches while the male is
somewhat smaller. The moths are
strong fiers and are readily attracted
to lights.
In addition to the severe injury that
this pest will do to fruit, shade and
forest trees, and the consequent cost
Of fighting 1t, there is another feature
connected with its presence that Is
very troublesome. If not alarming,
that is. danger to the health Of
people.
The larva or caterpillar bears tiny
hairs which are barbed and when the
insect molts these hairs. are shed
with the skin. Upon drying, these
skins and hairs float about in the air
and are q source of constant trouble
to persons living in an infested dis
trict. When the caterpillars' skins, or
even loose hairs, come in contact with
the skin they cause q severe irrtta-
ton. Al large part Of the popular
feeling in New England that the
brown-tail moth must be exterminated
is due quite as much to the preva-
lence and annoyance OF this rash, as
to the loss of vegetation from the
work of the caterpillar.
With this pest undoubtedly the
easiest and practically the only enec.

There is but one generation Of the

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
,sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and ineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because Of it's great

NEW YORKS BoWERY.
Why the Upper Part Of Il Was NAMED
Fourth Avenue.

Fourth Avenue.
In the early fOrties Of the last cen.
tury there lived in Brooklyn a Mr..
and Mrs. Smith. Mr, Smith was a rls-
Ing civil engineer. and most Of his
work was in New York. II was nee
essary that he be nearer his place Of
business than Brooklyn, for In those
days ferries were slow and infreQuent,
no bridges spanned the river. and horse
cars were the speedlest means Of
transit Being a man Of moderate
means, Mr. Smith went house hunting
through the streets Of New York, seek
Ing modest but respectable abode.
Near the upper end Of the Bowery he
found q small house Elated with his
success, be rushed home with the news
to his wife, But when he mentioned
the name Of the street In which this
house stood his wlfes face fell,
'Tlow could you think Of I'll" she
asked. Smith was In despair.
Even as far back as 1910 the Bow
cry had acquired an unenviable repu.
tatlon Mr.. Smith tried to explain
that the upper part Of the Bowery
was still untarnished; that many very
respectable people lived In that part
Of town; that It would be many long
years before crime and sin would
spread that far north.
1t was all wasted energy. The fact
that she would be living on the Bow
cry was sufficient for Mrs. Smith.
As clyil engineer 1t was Mr..
Smiths custom to overcome obstacles.
The following day he hired convey
ance, and he and Mrs. Smith went
house hunting together Mrs. Smith
knew her Brooklyn thoroughly, but
had only a slight acquaintance with
New York. After driving through
many streets without finding a suita-
bic house the husband quietly turned

slowly walEed the morse In the direc-

Suddenly Mrs Smith exclaimed,
why, there's a pretty place to let,
deart
"WhereT listlessly questioned her
husband, purposely looking In the op.
posite direction. Had Mrs. Smith not
been 30 intent upon the house In uues
tIon she might have noticed the mer-
ry twinkle In her husbands eyes and
suspected something.
"RIght over there" she replied,
pointing to the house with the 'sTo

An examination Of the premises con.
vinced Mrs. Smith that she must have
the place, and when she learned that
her nelghbors were old friends OF hers
she had her husband close the bar
gain at once.
All this time no mention was made
Of the street How Smith managed to
move into the house and keep Mrs.
Smith in the dark as TO the name Of
the street Is a mystery. But there
came a day, and there was storm.
The tear fall was something heretofore
unknown In the Smith household.
Once again Mr.. Smiths habit Of
overcoming obstacles stood him in
good stead. His wife would not llye'

her neIghbors were good people, but
they lived on the Bowery. So Smith
and one Of his neighbors went before

10 begin, the American Capital has
always been the storm center of vars
ious form of agitation, There have
been intermittent rumblings Of dis
content against the local commission
since it supplanted back in 1872 long
rule By mayors and governors. This
latest discomfort began TO manifest
Itself last summer soon after the Presi
dent when asked BY representative
Of the Washington Post, made il
known that he would recommend
James Bronson Reynolds suggestion
for 4 change Of the form Of District
government to Congress, The Post,
whose owner is John R. Mclean, also
owner Of the Cincinnati Inquirer, pre-
sident Of the Washington Gaslight
Company and a director in several
large banks and corporations, immed-
lately set about to demonstrate that
Washington needed a change Of gov
ernment and without delay. Daily
interviews with leading citizens set
ting forth reasons why changes should
be made were served by the Post
to its readers. This agitation was
viewed by the people, according to
their personal opinions regarding the
sincerity of the Posts crusade on the
commissioners, with approval or dis
dain. Those who disapproved, as re-
flected through many meetings Of
citizens association, seemed in the
majority
