Famous Golf Match.

The projected golf match between two
well known amateurs and a leading
member of the London stock exchange
for stake of $500 recalls the famous
foursome in which the Duke of York,
afterward James H., took a prominent
part on the Leith links in the year
1852. 1t was really an international
contest, in which the duke, with John
Patersone, golfng shoemaker of great
repute, championed Scotland against two
noblemen of England, a heavy wager
depending on the issue. The duke and
the cobbler had an easy victory, thanks
largely to the man of the last, and John
Patersone's share of the stake was so
substantial that he was able to build a
goodly house in the Canongate, in a
wall of which the duke caused a stone
to be placed bearing the Patersone arms
with the motto Ear and sure" a
tribute to the cobblers driving powers.
Patersone's house, we understand,
survives today.-Westminste Gazette.

Fresh Water for Poultry.


1t is essential that water for fowls
be changed twice daily, at least, and
unless 1t is kept celan it will occasion
disease Should fowl be i'll, and the
owner not be aware of it, as it drinks
it Is bound to cOntaminate the water
from some discharge, perhaps from its
nostrils or from the breath, says the
Mirror and Farmer. A sick bird, of
course, should always be removed, but
sometimes the farmer or poultryman is
unaware that the fowl Is sick until it
Is too late to undo the harm it has
done by communicating the drinking
water. The best plan is to keep the
water as fresh and the drinking yes
sells as clean as it is possible to do A
few drops Of carbolic acid in the drink
ing water will assist in keeping it
pure, but the acid should be used care
fully on account of its poisonous quail
ties Washing the drinking fountains
or vessels daily will do more to keep
the water fresh and pure than any,
thing else. When water is allowed to
stand, even If only for few hours, on
throwing it out there will be the small
est accumulation of slime in the foun-
tain, and If they are refilled without
washing them, the coating increases
until the water, although freshly put
in, is unfit for the fowls USE As the
warm weather advances there is more
necessity of watching the drinking YES

SOLID WOOD BLOSSOM.
Peculiar Flower Found on Trees Growing
in Crevasses of Mount Aqua


in Crevasses of Mount Aqua.
Through the gift of a friend who Wis
tied the remote region where it grows
Herman Silver of Los Angeles has come
into the possession of specimen of the
strangest and rarest flower known to
scientists.
1t is the "Rose Of HELL" gigantic
blossom of solid wood. which grows only
on the edges of Central American vol
cano and gets its name from the Indians,
who believe the crater is the entrance of
hell and the blossom a native of the
regions inside.
Mr.. Silver's specimen is one of few
that have ever been brought to this
country, and perhaps the finest. At first
appearance it seems to be a tough
gnarled knot of a tree which has been
splintered, but closer examination dis
closes the fact that it has petals of wood
and bark and the rough outlines of a
flower. The petals, cOncave in form, are
arranged much like the petals of a half
blown rose. Their inside surfaces are
covered with fine lines, which have the
delicacy of fine hand carving. The stem,
which is about a foot long, is of some
unusual wood, which is light and strong
1t is covered with heavy bark, which
seems to have been cracked by heat.
Both flowers and stem are dark brown
the color of weather beaten boughs-and
dry as finder. The flower grows on a
tree of great size and strength. The
blossom measures about II inches
across.
The trees grow in the crevasses on the
sides of Mount Aqua, high peak among
the rugged mountains of Central America
and near the volcano of Fuego. The
Guatemalan Indians have known of it
for a long time and have associated it
with the fiery vengeance of the subter-
ranean regions.-Los Angeles Times.

Fell from ScaToId and Injured His
Back.


Thirty years ago James G. Lee, Of
100 9th street, S. E., Washington,
d. c., fell from a scaffold and seriously
injured his back. In telling about 1t he
says: my suffering was terrible; from
the small of my back all around my
stomach was just as if had been beat
en- with a club. l tried all kinds or
plaSters- belladonna, capcine and por-
ous-without getting relief, and bought
so-called electric belts but none of them
did me any good.
One day, while working near my
daughters house, my back panied me
SO badly that 1 had to quit. I went into
the house and lay down for ease. My
daughter had a bottle of Sloan's Lini-
ment in the house and she rubbed my
back well with it and gave me some
to take home. 1 used six and half
bottles of Sloan's 25c. Liniment and
can do as much work now as any man
in the shop, although I am sixty-seven
years old. / would not be without
Sloan's Liniment for any consideration
and recommend it to anyone suffering
pain"

LIGHT BOOZE.
Do You Drink It1

-. A minister's wife had quite tussle
esting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty,
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and it was quite natural that
should want good, hot cup of coffee
about that time. 1t stimulated me and
l could keep awake better.
'After three or four years of coffee
drinking l became a nervous wreck and
thought that l simply could not live
without my coffee. All this time was
subject to frequent bilious attacks,
sometimes SO severe as to keep me in
bed for several days.
after being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee, for he
feared that it had already hurt me al
most beyond repair, so I resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit
II began taking Postum and for a
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant, but
liked the taste of Postum, and that an
swered for the breakfast beverage all
right.
Finally began to feel clearer head
ed and had steadier nerves. After a
years use Of Postum l now feel like a
new woman-have not had any bilious
attacks since I left off coffee"

Battle Scared" Bottle Scared" and
Battle Sacred"
The death of John William Jones, d.
D., at Columbus, Ca, recalls what is
probably the funniest series Of typo
graphical blunders which ever actually
occurred, says The Waterman. The
writer can testify to the accuracy of
this series, because he read them at the
time there were made in the two journals
involved. After the Civil war DR.. Jones
was southern correspondent of the New
York Examiner. At that time there was
a rival Baptist paper in New York city
called The Watchtower. In writing of
the death of his friend Stonewall Jack
son DR.. Jones praised highly his charac-
ter, and referred to him as a battle
SCARED veteran"
The printers of The Examiner amend
ed this, and it was stated to the readers
that Stonewall Jackson was "a battle
scared veteran" The WatchtOwer saw
a chance to make a little fun of its rival
paper and attempted simply to reproduce
the error of The Examiners printer; but
the printer of The WatchtOwer took his
turn and make it read that StOnewall
Jackson was "a bottle Scared veteran
Now The Examiner had good chance
to get back at it's rival, and made merry
at the trial to correct one error by max
ing a worse one. But alas! it seemed
that the expression was doomed to q
comedy of errors, for when The Exam
iner's triumphant counter appeared, II
informed its readers that in attempting
to correct the error in The Examiner
The Watchtower had said that Stone
wall Jackson was "a battle sacred veter-

Sowing Vegetable Seeds.

If the soil has been properly watered
after the sowing of vegetable seeds lit
tie attention in this direction will be
needed before the proper time for
transplanting. This will depend large
ly upon the character of the weather.
In bright, sunny weather, when free
ventilation is required, the flats may
need an application of water almost
daily. Excessive watering, however,
should be guarded against, as it tends
to produce tender, spindling plants.

Corn Crop of 1908.

The Indian corn crop for 1908
amounted to 2,643 100000 bushels. The
crops Of three years have exceeded
this, but only the crop of one year
(1906) exceeded it very much The
value of the crop is estimated at ST.
615, 100000. The price of corn is ex,
ceptionally high. There are only two
years in which the farm price Of this
crop was as high as it is for this year.
In 1881 the price was 63.6 cents; in
1901, when there was only two-thirds
of an ordinary crop, the price was
605 cents. The total value of this
crop is by far the highest ever reach
ed. The crop of 1902 was worth bill
lion dollars, and the crops Of 1904,
1905 and 1906 were worth 500, 900
more; the great increase of 100000,
900 over the crop of 1902 was made in
1907, and now the increase is $600,00O,-
OO0-equal to the gold in the treasury
Of a rich nation.

OXYGEN FOR ATHLETES.
Physician Says It's Use Would Help the
Heart

An English physician lecturing before
the London institute on the use of oxy-
gen in athletics said that athletes used
up their oxygen faster than inhaling air
could supply it. The beat of the heart
and pulse was reduced and the blodd
pressure raised after inhaling oxygen.
He had induced two runners to expert
ment, and they overran their own rec
ords after taking oxygen. He thought
taking the gas before an athletic event
would lead to record breaking.
All athletes are eXhausing their hearts
by using up oxygen faster than they can
replace it and their hearts are damaged
for want of it. If they took oxygen be-
fore, during and after the game the
heart, he said, would be restored and
they would not suffer the i'll effects of
their exertions.-New York Sun.

Packing the Fleece.

One of the best ways to pack the
fleece Is to lay 1t upon a table, turn in
the head and tail, then the TANKS
After this roll it up into a neat roll
and tie it firmly, using such a device
as here illustrated.
The tying box is made from light
lumber with slots, as shown, through
which the rope is passed. The fleece
is placed upon this rope and the roll
easily tied. Wool buyers prefer to
