"Gulity Creatures Sitting at Play"
In the brilliantly lighted theatre the
overture was mounting to its final
swell: the pit and gallery were al.

bustling into the stalls and dress-cir.

boy could be heard shouting. BE
ginners, please" then the biare Of the
violins beyond the curtain ended. An
electric bell whirred; the strings of
the orchestra sent up muted chords
to take up the curtain: through the
halfopen door of the dressing.room
where Olive vanstone was waiting,
ready to 60 on at the end of the first
act, the air was stirred tremulously
by the sudden outburst of applause
that drove q rush OF hot air through
the open space Of the proscenium. and
the voices OF the actors came up from
the stage past the swaying sky-cloths
to the iron landing outside the Dress
ing-room doors. The play had begun.
Olive vanstone came out OF the
dressing-room; she paused. on her
way down to await her cue at the
wings. to look over the railing on
to the stage. where the figures,
curiously foreshortened. moving in
the boxed-in scene below. appeared
fantastic and unreal. Across the
electric glow OF the foot-lights she
could command view Of part OF the

Summer and Fall Seeding and
TOp-DreSSing,

Many farmers are finding it to their
advantage to seed down during the sum-
mer and fall, claiming that by so doing
they are apt toget a much better catch"
than they do when they follow the usual
practice and seed down in the spring.
The same is true regarding top-dress-
ing grass land. Some of the most pro-
gressive farmers put on top-dressing i'm
mediately after haying, with perhaps a
small application of nitrate of soda the
following spring.
Ifyou will send your name and P. O..
address to Carroll S. Page, Hyde Park,
VT, he will send you free, postpaid, sew
eral formulas for mixing fertilizers es-
pecially adapted to top-dressing and fall
seeding, together with prices Of ingredi-
tents, full directions for mixing, etc.
These formulas have been approved by
the Vermont Experiment Station and
will be found thoroughly reliable.

The Romance of Quinine.

How many of those who fully realize
the value of quinine are familiar with
the pretty story connected with the
drug?
In the year 1888 Donna Ana, the
beautiful wife of Don Luis Geronimo
Fernandez de Cabrera Bobadilla Y
Mendoza, fourth count of Chinchona
and governor of the Spanish province
of Peru, lay sick and, it was feared,
dying of an intermittent fever in her
palace at Lima. Her physician, Juan
de Vega. was at his wits end. Her
husband was in despair when the cor
regdor of Loxa, neighboring state,
sent to the former small packet of
powdered quinquina bark, which he
knew the Indians priced highly as
febrifuge.
The powder was administered to the
countess, with the happy result that
the fever left her. and a complete cure
was effected.
Two years later, in 1910, the much
named Count of Chinchona and his
wife returned to Spain, and as the
Countess Ana brought with her
quantity of the healing bark the dis
tinction is claimed for her Of being the
first person to introduce it into Europe.
Her physician, we are told, made
large fortune by selling it In Seville
at 100 reals the pound. 1t was this
famous cure of the Countess Chin
chona that induced the great Swedish
botanist LinnaRus long afterward to
rename the whole genus of quinine
yielding tree "cinchona" in her honor.
