SYNOPSIS.

Three girls Elizabeth. Gabrielle and
Elise--started for Canada to spend the
summer there. On board steamer they
were frightened by an apparently dement,
ed stranger who finding bag belonging
TO one of them, took enjoyment in scru-
tinizing n photo of the trio. Elise shared
her stateroom with a Mrs. Graham, also
bound for Canada The young women on
a sightseeing tour met Mrs. Graham,
anXiously awaiting her husband, who had
mania Tor sailing. They were intro
duced to Lord Wilfrid and Lady Edith.
a cottage by the ocean was rented Ivy
the trio for the summer. Elizabeth
learned that a friend of her fathers was
to call. Two men called. one OF them
being the queer-actlng stranger on the
steamer. The girls were mot at home. .
but discovered by the cards left that orc
of the men was Elizabeth's fat, "r's
friend. The men proved to be John =
Blake and Gordon Bennett. The party
was told of the search for smuGglers In
the vicinity of the cottage Elise visited
Mrs. Graham to find that her life was
rot the happiest. She learned that the
Grahams and Lady Edith were acquaint-
ed. A wisp of yellow hair from Mr.. Ora
hams pocket fell into the hands of Elise.
Mrs. Graham's hair was black.

Hish Grade Of Meat Animals.

1t has been clearly demonstrated by
experience that it pays the farmer to
raise a high grade of cattle, sheep and
hogs. The farmer who is using scrub
males, whether of cattle, hogs or
sheep cannot expect to produce the
best grade OF meat, no matter how in
telligently he may feed. He has be-
gun wrong.
Let him be particular about the in
dividual merit of the animal. See that
he has good bone, strong constitu-
ton and even lines. BE sure that he
is strong in the back or loin, short of
neck and masculine in the head. Look
out for biockiness of form and short
ness of leg. Inquire of the owner how
the animal has been cared for, and
seek to duplicate the care when he
is transferred to his new home.

GOOD FARM SUGGESTIONS.

BE very careful about giving the
brood mares heavy loads at this sea
son, but they must have enough gen
tie exercise to keep them in good
form
Now doth the little louise get I'm his
work on the chickens. Keep going
the whitewash brush the powder can
and the kerosene sprayer.
The farm well often sends up from
its cool depths the rankest kind OF ty-
phold germs. See that no foul water
drains into it from the surface or
seeps through from outhouses.
Spread a large sheet under the plum
tree and jar Mr.. Curoulio off his perch.
He turns out over one brood a year
and any fruit that shows his sting
should be burned
a good time TO transfer the bees
from old-fashioned wooden hivOs into
new ones is when the blossoms are
plentiful.
The poultry water vessels should be
given more attention than ever.
Remember! Do not feed newly
hatched chicks too soon. They will die
from indigestion il you do.
DO you know young chicks often die
from regular chills2 Wen, they do.
Keep them dry and warm on damp,
chilly days
Now the calves are coming along,
and TO start them right means a good
animal, while neglect means a poor
one. Blood counts. of course, but so
does the feed trough.
It is a shame to keep a nervous.

CELERY FOR HOME AND MARK
Vegetable Loves Cool Climate and a
Light, Fertile, Humus-Laden,
Moist Soil.

Although requiring rather peculiar
cry can he grown both for home use
and market over wider area than
most people think. Almost everybody
is fond of celery, and it is healthful
vegetable food With a little study
and experience in growing it, celery
might be on the table of ten times
the number of homes that it now is.
and it might be grown for market by
twice the number of gardeners that
already grow 1t,
Celery loves a cool climate, and
light fertile, humus-laden, moist soil.
The ideal climatic conditions for the
production of celery are bright sun
shine, pure air, cool nights and
well distributed rainfall of about
eight inches during the growing pc
Rod in the field or garden.
In the production of celery for do
nestle use, rich. mellow, sandy loan
will give the best results. The soil
of the seed bed should contain plenty
of leaf mold and should be passed
through sieve having not less than
six meshes to the inch. The soil
of the transplanting bed need not be
sifted so fine, and some well rotted
barnyard manure should replace
part of the leaf mold, in other re-
spects it should be the same as the
seed bed,
Any fertile, well drained soil will
grow celery, but rich loose, sandy
loan is preferable. The soil cannot
well be made too rich, and the pres
ence of large amount of humus or
vegetable mold is an essential for
large and rapid growth. In the re-
gions where peat boys or muck soil
abound the crop may be more easily
produced on these than on any other
soils, but the keeping qualities are not
so good, and the flavor is never equal
to that of celery grown on sandy
loan, or even on clay soils. If nothing
but clay soil is available, 1t may be
made to produce good celery by lib.
eral application of well rotted ma.
nure. On clay soils there is likely to
be injury caused by the soil becom-
ing washed into the hearts of the
plants while they are yet small

PRESERVE CHARM OF VOICE
Proper Care of Organ Which Nature
Has Bestowed lie Essential
Duty Of All.

A sweet voice Is a powerful femin-
inc charm. One also admires fine
masculine voices which are sonorous
and full.
We should, therefore, be careful OF
this organ which nature has bestowed
upon us, and improve 1t If possible.
Coarse snrill and harsh voices may be
softened by care and study. A woman
wien peacock voice can never charm.
Speak In a low voice, but distinctly.
Loud speaking denotes ill-breeding,
and sometimes shows a domineering
spirit. Many people drown the voices
Of others in a discussion that they
may themselves attract the more at.
tentlon. To keep the voice at a proper
tone, never call from one end OF the
room to another. nor from upstairs
down, nor at any distance where it
becomes necessary for one to shout
with all his might, as this coarsens
and roughens the voice and in time
ruins it.
There are persons who, when
spoken to, pay no attention, either
from abstraction or from Indifference,
to anything which may proceed from
others. The person who speaks Is
then obliged to raise the voice and re.
peat, and thus the habit of speaking
loudly is frequently formed.
These things occur in families
where but little politeness is observed
between those who owe one another as
much consideration as is due to out
siders.
One should never cry out under the
influence of anger, indignation or pain.
These cries forever destroy the har-
mony of the vocal chords. Children
should be prevented from screaming
when at play

NEW VARIETIES OF TOMATOES
For Special Table Use-Requlred by
Large Hotels - Greenhouse
Grown Fruit Most Desirable.

The forcing of tomatoes under glass
has assumed considerable proportions
in the middle and northern states,
and the demand for the green
homegrown crop lie steadily in
creasing This Is due to the fact that
tomatoes when grown under glass are
superior to those that are grown in
the extreme southern states and
which must necessarily be picked
partially green and shipped long dis
tances before reaching our markets
For special table use. such as Is de-
manded by large hotels, the green
homegrown fruit will always be in
demand. A number of varieties have
been put on the market for cultlva-
ton under glass. Some of these are
very good, but none has all the char
acteristics which would render It
ideal, The ideal tomato is one with
the following characters combined:
/. A fruit without a depression at
the stem end.
2. A round fruit without ridges.
3. A fruit with the interior well
formed and compact.
4. A fruit of medium size growing
in large clusters.

Elizabeth asked him to come again,

and quite expected to be bored to

she was very favorably impressed.
A sudden storm came up that after

and the ocean roared ominously, so he
