Women Who Are Envied.

Those attractive women who are
lovely in face, form and temper are
the envy of many, who might be
like them. A weak sickly woman

TRAPPING RABBITS.
The Australian Method of DeaIingaN With
the Pests.

the Pests.
Rabbits are the greatest pest the
Australian pastoralist has to contend
against. If these rodents are at all
numerous on station property, they
do enormous damage to the grass, but
the, pest is kept down to the lowest
possible limit in every district Of the
commonwealth at great cost.
The most effective method OF deal
Ing with them is hereunder explained.
In summer when any water that
might have been lying about has been
dried up by evaporation and the grass
has become dry rabbits swarm toward
the tanks, dams or other water holes
that have been sunk for sstock4 drink
ing purposes.
Pastoralists take advantage Of this,
and every evening after the cattle
have partaken of their last drink a
strip Of wire netting is .run.aroundath
tank or dam.
Outside this netting fence holes are
dug in the ground and filed with poi-
soned water. and these in turn are in
closed by another strand Of netting,
pegged down to within a few inches
of the ground, being sheep proof, but
allowing plenty Of roomaforsrabbitssto
get under.
The rabbits make forsthe dam; but,
as their way is barred, they drink at
the poisoned holes, withsto themsdisas.

A Cowboy Spider.

'.Faking aside" said the nature stu

coil Of web like lasso over its prey's
head, then adds more and more coils

There is a Borneo spider that in
the spring days plays fiddle. It is a

a TINY BIT OF GROUND.
What May Be Done With Plot Twen-
~ BY Fifty Feet.

VIVA. May Be Done With Plot Twen-
ty by Fifty Feet.
A space 20 by so feet may under In
tensive culture be made to yield fresh
vegetables for small family through
half the year. With 40 by 30 feet or
80 by 100 there can be garden spell
ing riotous plenty.
Have the spading done. as early as
possible. use thoroughly rotted ma
nure and supplement 1t with some
good commercial fertilizer. either
broadcasted and raked in or put in
hills or drills.
1t Is a waste Of seed, strength and
time to plant garden in poor soil.
The seed will come up, the spindling
plants viii be harder to work than IL
they were luxuriant, and the resultant
crop will be mostly conspicuous by its
absence. So, if it be impossible to.d0
more, make small rich beds, four feet
wide and as long as the manure holds
out. and SOW them crosswise with
such things as radishes, lettuce, cress,
parsley, beets and onions. Make the
rows foot to eighteen inches apart
or sow the radishes broadcast. Let
tuce also yields more for broadcast
sowing. Pull out the thriftiest as soon
as edible and leave the rest to grow.
Radish tops make excellent greens,
something better favored than mus
tard. By sowing thickly you can have
dishes of greens.
Say the garden is 40 by 80 feet, this
is something what the planting Of it
should be: Dwarf early peas, medium
early and late peas, beets, early and
later; beans in succession, including
bush limas; carrots, radishes, toma-
toes, cucumbers, peppers. Do not adj
venture upon corn unless It be sweet
corn planted on the pea space as-assec-
ond crop, to come In just before frost.
Make an asparagus bed all across one
end Of the plot, setting two-year-
roots and fertilizfng the bed heavily In
early summer just aftercutting ceases.
Peas are so hardy they may be
planted before snow is past, provided,
OF course, the ground is right when
they go in. Make it fine and light,
cover the seed at least three inches
deep. then tramp the earth over them,
setting the feet so one track touches
the other. A quart Of seed will SOW
a. hundred feet Of drill the proper
thickness. An ounce Of beet seed will

A MINISTER'S STORY.
It Didn't Have the Intended Effect
Upon the Congregation.

It Didn't Have the Intended Effect
Upon the Congregation.
It is said that a New England min
lister once told the following story just
before the collection was taken up:
Il have heard of a man, prosperous
and well to do, who went to church
one Sunday and put a cemt-just a
plain copper. cent in the collection
box
ION the way home he was.overtaken
by q sudden heavy shower and, hav-
Ing no umbrella, crawled into hol-
low log by the roadside to keep him
self dry until the downpour was over.
Soon the log began to swell, and
the wetter it got the more it swelled
until the sides finally closed In on the
prosperous citizen and held him In a
grip like wise.
The rain ceased. but the upfortn-
nate man was unable to move hand
or foot. He shouted for help. but no
one heard him. He was about to give
up in despair when hesuddenly thought
Of the cent he had dropped into the
collection box that day, and it made
him feel so mean and small that he
crawled right out of the log without
any further trouble.
"Now, IL you expect to get.caught In
shower and be obliged to take refuge
in hollow log on the way home, by
all means put a cent in the contribu-
ton basket! If you don't anticipate a
crisis OF that sort well, you will know
what to do when the Baskets passed. {"
The minister expected a shower Of
silver and bills to follow this story,
but unfortunately just as the collec-
ton began black cloud passed over
head, it suddenly began to sprinkle,
and the pennies fairly rained into the
contribution basket Only one quar-
ter, a solitary dime and lone nickel
were found among the coppers, and
they got in before the shower began.
The congregation, it seems, had all
left their umbrellas at home, and they
were not taking any chances-New
