r HERE are two snuff takers in the
! United States senate, Mr.. Over
man of North Carolina and Mr.. Carter
of Montana. For the benefit of these
two men the senate still maintains the
official snuff boxes, which are kept
carefully with fresh material for pro-
ducing sneezes.
These boxes are little 1acquered af-
fairs about four inches long, two and
a half inches wide and an inch deep,
top of the projecting ledge, one on
each side of the vice-president's dais.
The snuff is purchased by the ser
geant-at-arms in four eight pound jars,
at a cost of rs cents a pound, and it
takes an average of about five pounds
a year to replenish the boxes twice a
week during the sessions. The work
of ref1lling the boxes was for years
one of the duties tremendously per-
formed by the late Capt. Bassett, the
venerable assistant doorkeeper of the
senate and inveterate user of the pow
dered weed; but since his death, five
years ago, the task has fallen to the
lot OF one of the pages, who, naturally,
does not bestow upon it the loving
care of his aged predecessor.
Capt. Bassett when he died had
completed nearly sixty years of con-
tinuous service in the senate, and was
almost the sole relic of the days when
the use of snuff was general in that
body. For many years before his
death his dignified, almost ceremoni-

image and after his likeness There
is divine element in our nature
that enables us to think Gods
thoughts in the facts of nature as
well as in the words of Scriptures.
The natural world is a product of
thought developed and governed by
a system of divine laws that are al
ways in force. God has planned and
made laws by which we live,

and learn the meaning OF things
How our Heavenly Father has
planned the universe for mans com

man should be!
Mark the difference between the
accomplished Christian gentleman
and man in his uncivilized state and
then be thankful for the Gospel and
what the discovery of the laws of
nature has done for you. Open your
mind to see how God planned the
laws of steam and electricity in
keeping with mans capacity to util-
ize these forces and thus bring joy
and comfort to human hearts. Go

our greatest game bird from final ex-
tinction.
The wild turkey, of course, is a
species entirely distinct from the
tame bird with the white-meated
breast. One reason why it's preserl
walton is important is that it is
needed to contribute from time to
time it's hardy blood and much-prized
game flavor to the domesticated va
riety by interbreeding. The compar1
ahvely dark meat of the breast of
many of the tame turkeys that come
to market nowadays at the Thanks
giving season is attributable to such
matings, which are eagerly sought
by the knowing producer of feath-
cred stock.
The wild turkey is so VIGOROUSLY
shy that most people would be in
clined to suppose it incapable of do
mestication. Such an inference, how
ever, according to the expert, is a
mistaken one As a matter of fact,
the bird is not by nature much afraid
of man, but rather tame and soci-
able, so far as human beings are con-
cerned- In Massachusetts, during
early colonial days there were great
numbers of wild turkeys, and fire.
quently they made themselves at
home in the close neighborhood of
the dwellings of settlers.
To-day the species is entirely ex-
t1nct in New England, and in other
parts of the country the fowl is ex-
tremely wild and hard to shoot-not.

HANDLING SPRING BULBS.
How to Treat Them When the Plants
Have Finished Blooming.

How to Treat Them When the Planta
Have Finished Blooming.
The national council of horticulture,
through its press committee. has this
to say of caring for spring bulbs:
when tulips. hyacinths and other
spring bulbs are through blooming and
the last blossoms have faded, pick off
the seed pods and if possible leave the
bulbs in the beds until the tops begin
to turn yellow. This gives the bulbs a
chance to ripen before digging them
up.
IF it is wished to plant the bed with
something else, the moment the bulb
blossoms fade pick off the seed pods
as before, and dig the bulbs up imme-
diately, using spade, thrusting it
deep into the ground below the bulb
so as to pry it up. This should be done
carefully. because the stems of tulips
especially are brittle and break easily
just above the bulb. When all the
bulbs have been dug take them to a
convenient place in the back yard and
heel them in. leaving them until the
tops are dry.
"By heeling in Is meant to dig a
trench about six inches deep and as
long as necessary. lay the bulbs In it.
tops up. in single row and cover only
the roots and bulbs with moist earth.
In about two or three weeks. or when
the tops are dry. dig up the bulbs and
clean them. Remove all the old roots,
tops and bulb scales and place the
clean bulbs in shallow boxes, leaving
them to dry thoroughly in the sun be
fore storing them away. When dry
put them away in cool. dry place
where they will not be reached by the
sun
ALTHOUGH these suggestions apply
principally to tulips because they art
the most widely used offspring bulbs

bulbs are left in the ground perma

How to Prevent Tender Feet.


One woman boasts of not knowing
what it is to have sore feet. and the
secret of her success is very simple.
She takes time once a week to soak
her feet for almost an hour, and in
this way she keeps them tender. but
not too much so. and she has never
known what it was to have a corn,
bunion or other affection. A small foot
tub is filled with warm water in which
there is a plentiful supply Of melted
white soap. She sits with her feet in
the water and to keep the time from
being too tedious reads a book When
the water begins to cool she realizes
the soaking process is at an end. After
drying the feet she attends to the nails
and cuts them across, merely clipping
the nail corners, because rounded nails
will eventually penetrate the flesh. and
the torment of improving nails is most
severe. A plentiful amount of talcum
powder is used, and this insures COM
fort. No stockings with seams are
worn, the shoes fit snugly, and a shoe
too large is considered as injurious as
one too tight. At the first appearance
of a corn it is never tempered with,
but the spot is treated with turpentine.
and ere long it disappears.

Boston, May Is, 'O9.
Dear Sirs:
BuTTER-The week has shown an
unsettled market with the tendency of
prices downward and at the moment
there is desire to quote prices at a
point where it will move the goods
promptly as none of the dealers here
are DESTROYS of carrying over a sur
plus. The jobbing price on fancy
northern creamery is from 27ac to 28c
with boxes and prints generally sailing
from 28c TO 289c, western creamery, in
ash is we'll cleaned up AMI can be quot
ed from 265c to 27c, some of the medi-
UNI grades going at lower price. We
find a very good inquiry for dairy tubs
which can be quoted from 25c to 26c
and boxes generally selling at 26c.
No doubt the week Will show an
| increased production of butter and
this may be the means of giving US a
| slightly easier market for reXt week.
EGGS continue fairly firm and bet
ter tone to the market than we had
week ago, at the same time a good
many westerns that have been selling
F. 0. B. will be coming forward and
this may cause slightly easier feel
ing on the medium grades. Strictly
hennery eggs are selling from 24ac to
25c with some fancy Maine and Yer
mont eggs selling from 24c to 24ac
with tirsts rather slow from Csc to
255c Our New York eggs are show
ing very good quality and selling here
to-day from 23c to 23a Western firsts
are freely offered from 22ac to 239c.
On the whole we have very good
market~and believe shipments made
here will net you good results.
POULTRY Market on iced poultry
continues firm with fowl generally
selling at 163c and it requires a very
good line Of goods to bring this figure.
There is very good inquiry round
for live fowl at l6c.
