For PICKING CHERRIES.

With the aid of an improved fruit
gatherer, designed by an Indiana
man, the most delicate OF small fruits,
such as cherries, can be severed from
their stems without mutilation, in
fecting or soiling Of the fruit in the
least, and without the necessity Of
the hands of the person coming in
contact with the fruit. As shown in
the Illustration, the gatherer is of a
size to be easily manipulated by the
hand. In one end is an opening, to
freely admit the fruit, a stationary
blade and a movable blade being

Automatic Razor strop.

To know the luxury of a smooth,
clean shave the edge of any razor
must be right to start with and must
be kept right. To the man who
shayes himself the stropping of the
razor is the most difficult part. Very
often he ruins the edge of the razor
in his endeavors to strop it. Turning
the blade at too great an angle de-
stroys the edge. This cannot happen
with the stropping machine shown
here, patented by an Ohio man. The
operation of the contrivance is very
simple. The razor is placed in posi-
ton at the upper end of the strop,
which, of course, Is flexible, and the
strop pulled back and forth. The
strop thus passes alternately over
each side of the blade, catching It at

Don't fail to have a corner devoted
TO tho growing of the sweet herbs

anise, corialder, caraway, dill and
others, all have their uses, which

welcome they are in carly spring be-
fore 'sprlng-sown vegetables are fit

Don't depend altogether on "the
women folks" to attend to the garden.
See at least that the ground is well
plowed and thoroughly pulverized, so
that there remains nothing but the
final raking before and after sowing
the seed. OF course for all large
seeds, like peas, beans, corn, melons.
squash, ETC., all the preparation Of
the soil, opening the burrows, ETC.,
can be done with horsepower, but for
the small seeds it is better to open
burrows by hand, and don't depend
upon the men TO do much of this, for

SOIL FOR CANNAs.

An ideal soil for cannas consists of
fine black leaf mould from the woods
and porous dirt from some swamp.
Dig out the spot where the bed is to
be about eighteen inches deep, and
replace with these mixtures, and IL
the other conditions are complied
with, there is but little doubt but the
plants will do we'll
In autumn, after the first frost
willis down the foliage, the stalks
should be cut OF within three inches
of the ground. The clumps should
then be lifted out, dirt and all, and
set away in the shade for a day or
two. After partially drying out, they
will be ready to put away in the cell
lar, which should be done with the
earth clnginG about them, as this
serves to keep away the air that dries
them out, and, also, the rats and mice
that otherwise are so apt to disturb
them. Thus wintered, II a good sea-
sons blooming IS to be got out Of
them, the bulbs are potted and kept
growing all winter; and in that case
are ready to transplant to the open
bed as soon as the weather is suitable
in spring. This means that It should
be good and warm and an danger Of

placed in advance Of the opening.
BY this novel arrangement of the
fixed blade and the disposition of the
movable blade and its arm, the move
ment of the one blade past the other,
besides effectively severing the stems,
tends to impel the severed fruit into
the opening, In practice the device
is held in either hand and as the
stems of the fruit are cut it slides
down the incline and into the recep-
tacle. When the latter is filled, the
contents are easily discharged
through the hinged lid at the end.
BY reason of the sound and cleanly
condition of the fruit, loss and de-
terioratlon incident to mutilation and
soiling when picked and gathered di-
rectly by human hands is prevented.

One of this years crop Of Rhodes
scholars tells the following;
An oxford don who had been hui
moring his only failing chanced upon
a couple of oval bathtubs. He dis
rosed himself snugly in one CT them
and inverted the other over him.
Later a party of scholars discovered
the tubs and carefully raised the top
one to investigate.

exactly the right angle. A clamp Sc
curely holds the razor in the correct
position and at the proper angle to
the strop. 1t also prevents the razor
moving. Obviously any person with
few quick passages of the strop can
sharpen any razor without danger Of
dulling the blade.-Washington Star.

Paper From Stalks.

A new material for paper making
is found in The use of corn stalks,
which 1t is said are a good substi-
tute for wood pulp in making ordi-
nary newspaper for printing. Beside
the pulp for paper making a ton of
corn stalk yields bout SO worth of
a coarse molasses.-American Guilt

Rubblnr OF the Bloom.

"No, l don't care for her as much
as I did" said the particular young
man, "since she told me l had an
automobile face.
Yes. l know she meant mobile,
but the expression had the effect
somehow, of rubbing off the bloom. "

Of first sprinkling the floor before
sweeping is unnecessary with the
moistener, but is done automatically
as the work is being done, The mois-
tener is in the form of a receptacle,
which is clamped to the handle above
the top of the bristles. Depending
from the reservoirs is a discharge
pipe which is arranged on a curve.
Perforations are placed in the sides
of the pipe. Water, oil or other
liquid is placed in the reservoir, be-
ing distributed in the centre of the
broom through the curved pipe and
passing down the bristles The tank,
being detachable, can be readily re-
moved from an old and worn broom
and placed on new one.

Bitten By Bull Dog.

News has been received here by rela-
tives that Miss Juanita McCue, daugh-
rer of Andrew McCue, former resident
here, but now living in Chattanooga,
Tenn, was horribly bitten in the face
by bull dog last week.
Miss McCue is stenographer for the
Chattanooga Medicine Co. at st. Elmo
a suburb of that city. She was visit
ing lady friend who owned the dog
and when she attempted to caress it
the animal sprang into her face and
tore her mouth and cheek in a terrible
manner. The wound was so severe
that forty stitches were required to sew
it up by the physician who was called.
She had frequently petted the dog
before but it is stated the animal was
vicious and had bitten others.
1t is thought the wound will not
prove fatal although she is in serious
condition, but the injuries will disfigure
her for life.

HEAD LETTUCE FROM HoTeEDs.
Now Is the Time to Begin to PIar for
Early Vegetables.

Plants were started about March L
In an ordinary hotbed and were well
aired to get hardy plants. The hot
bed into which they were transplanted
was made the last week in March,
making bed of hot manure eight feet
wide and Is inches deep on top of the
ground. Frames were made as for
ordinary cold frames, except that they
were deeper, Is inches back and ten
inches front.
These frames were set on the ma
nure. After It had settled well and
had been trampled evenly, five inches
of rich soil was put in, which was COW
cred with about one inch of rotted
sheep manure and thoroughly mixed
with the soil. The bed was then
marked so plants would stand eight
inches apart each way, putting In
about 40 plants to the sash.
Our sashes are made three by six
feet, using two by two-inch stun, with
a crossbar of the same in the middle.
Common sheeting, costing eight cents
per yard, was tackled onto this frame
with large-headed tacks. Plants were
set the last day of March, and it
seemed as IL to test the value of the
plan a cold snap came; on the morn
ing of April the thermometer stood
at 16 degrees above zero. Cabbage
and cauliflower plants set In we'll
protected cold frame were frozen bad
ly, while this bed, with only a slight
protection of wild hay, came through
without bit of frost.
The sashes were removed every day.
unless 1t showed or the thermometer
stood below 40 degrees, but were COW
cred every night when there was dan
ger Of frost, writes the correspondent
in Orange Judd Farmer. A row Of
Scarlet Globe radishes was sown be-
tween each row and were sold at a
good profit ten days before we could
pull from outdoors. A few sashes
which was ready to cut May 20, while
plants set outdoors were not ready un.
til two weeks later.
We began setting head lettuce June
1, which was Is days earlier than
from outdoors, where fine, large heads
were set. The lettuce from the
sashes brought us so cents per dozen
wholesale and from seven to ten cents
per head from the wagon On our re-
tail route 1t brought about two dollars
per sash, beside the radishes, which
brought one dollar per sash on an
average.
April and May were cold and wet
here, so that with an average season
and by using large, strong plants, ]
think we could have had heads by
May 20. Nearly every plant made a
good, hard, well-developed head. The
varieties were May King, Big Boston
and Naumberger a new variety which
proved better than May King, both
in the sashes and outside. 1t made
a larger, more solid head that stood
longer after it was ready to cut than
May King. and just as early.

Antiquity Of the Sausage.

The sausage dates back to the year
S97. 1t has been asserted that the
Greeks in the days of Homer manu-
featured sausages, but this prehistoric
mixture had nothing in common with
our modern product. The ancient so.
called sausage was composed of the
same materials which enter into the
makeup of the boudin of the French
market and the blood pudding of the
French-Canadian. The ancient sausage
was enveloped in the stomachs OF
goats. Not until the tenth century did
the sausage made OF hashed pork be-
come known. II was in or near the
year 1900 that. thanks to the introduc-
tion into Germany of cinnamon and
saffron. the sausages OF Frankfort and
Strassburg acquired q universal repu-
tation.

REMARKABLE IN THE DOG LINE.
Proud Owners Of Pets, Listen to This
from Flatbush, N. Y.

Zip, a son Of Bluff. the big bull ter.
rier, Is the most respected dog in Flat
bush, n. Y, says a correspondent. He
requires every other dog within 40
blocks TO walk a chalk line and bow
to him as he passes by. He can lick
everything on four feet up to twice his
size, yet is as mild as Devery- at-the-
Pump His master attributes lips
prowess to his fondness for the pipe.
Like Old King Cole:
He calls for his pipe,
He calls for his glass.
He calls for his fiddlers three.
THAT is the most remarkable dog In
the world" says his master. HE takes
my pipe out OF my mouth and smokes
II, standing on his hind feet See! The
stem is all chewed up! II the tobacco
doesn't burn well, Zip will get down on
his tours and chase all over the house
to create a draught. When the fire is
well started again he finishes his
smoke and returns me the pipe.
Strong? He ought to be named Sam
son. Why, we have piano that
weighs 500 pounds. Tie Zip to it with
rope and he will pull 1t all over the
room"
