MADE SUCCESS OF VENTURE Victory for New England Woman Who BraveIy Set Out to Con-
 quer the World.

Not at all a bad story is going tht rounds of young woman in New England town whose husband died leaving her with two babies, two horses no longer young, three-seatet wagon, and small house at the dool of which the wolf fairly howled Friends told her the only thing to dt was to sell out, give at least one o
 the babies away, and go into shoI in the nearest city. But she couldn't and wouldn't, so she decided to try running a station wagon, as there was no such convenience in the town
 which was near the ocean and figured as a small resort in the summer. A few men patronized, but the women were apparently annoyed that she had not taken their advice, parting with
 her little one and her home. The tide did not turn until sympathetic sum mer visitor took up her case, engaged her for shopping and visiting touq between trains. and made it a point to refer to the new venture as a livl cry service, and to say how greatly it favored the town That was siN years ago. Not only has she kept theI wolf from the door ever since, bud this summer she was offered $5,00d for the business. Her first hired driyI CT was so impressed with her abilil ties that he offered to marry her. lid was fired" for his kindness and al married m III engaged in his stead.

POISON WILD PLANTS

Atlantic westward to Minnesota and eastern Kansas. It is common in Con- necticut, New Jersey and North Caro- lima The poisonous constituent is un- known, but it lies both in the leaves and the seed. Horses and sometimes cattle are killed by eating grass or meadow hay mixed with the plant.
 Poison oak, also known as Califor- mia poison sumac, swamp sumac, thun- derwood, etc, affects the skin the same way as poison ivy, and cases require the same remedy.
 Laurel leaves (commonly used for decorative purposes in winter), or the towering branches are often careless ly thrown into inclosures where ami mals are kept. The older cattle are not so frequently killed by it. but they are by no means immune. Horses and even goats have died from eating the leaves.

Miss of Twenty Summers Bags Sea. sons Limit on Single Trip in
 Southern California.

Los Angeles, Cal = Miss Hazel l.oomis,, 20-year-old daughter of L. G Loomis of Inglewood. shot two deer, a full seasons limit, at Honey Springs, near the head of the Big Tejunga, on a hunting trip.
 This established a record for south ern California. A few women have killed deer, but none of them so far as known has ever killed two deer on one huntring trip.
 The party killed three deer in all. the two shot by Miss Hazel and an other killed by her father. Another daughter, Miss Anna, 16 years old accompanied MT. Loomis. Both girls are fine shots, and are used to rough ing it in the mountains.
 One of the deer was a six-pointer, weighing 160 pounds dressed. The others were two-pointer and spike, weighing 90 pounds each.
 The party has gone out two seasons and last year Miss Loomis brought down her first deer, which weighed nearly as much as the larger one got this trip. Another, a spike buck, was dropped by MT. Loomis. It tipped the scales at little over 100 pounds.
 1t was nearly a week after going in

Farmers Should Familiarize Themselves With the So-
 Called Weeds.
Some Varieties of Plants Should Be Destroyed as Soon as Diseov- ered-Facts About Many
 That Are Dangerous.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Farmers should familiarize themselves with poisonous plants and use every effort possible to destroy those that are of danger ouS character.
 All poisonous plants are not equal 1y injurious to all persons, nor to all forms of life. For example, take the action of poison ivy. Upon animals it has no apparent external effect horses, mules and goats eating it's leaves with impunity. But on the skins of majority of persons it acts with varying intensity. Some people are entirely immune.
 There are two fungous plants that greatly resemble mushrooms. They are known as the fly amanata and the death cup. The latter can be distin- guished from the common mushrooms by its white gills and spores and by its growing in woods instead of in meadows. Death cup is the most poi sonous of the feshy fungi.
 American false hellebore (known as itch weed), is poisonous, the seed be- ing especially poisonous to poultry. Horses have been known to be poi soned by eating the leaves; yet sheep seem to relish it and eat it with ap. parent impunity.
 Pokeweed Is well known plant that has many household uses, but some chemical or mechanical manipu- lation seems necessary to prevent ill effects when it is eaten. The root and the alcoholic extract of the fruit are remedy for the itch and other skin diseases and for rheumatism.
 Corn cookie is generally known as simple cookie. It's erect stem and showy, violet red flowers and pods full of black, irregularly rounded seed are familiar in all grain growing states.
 Black cherry. known commonly as wild cherry, which is sometimes culti vated as an ornamental shade tree also has poisonous qualities. The fruit is rather agreeable, being but slightly bitter and stringent in taste It is al so used as bitters, linuor being poured on the berries in bottles Poisoning is frequently caused by cattle eating the wilted leaves from branches thrown carelessly within their reach or ignorantly offered as food Chil dren occasionally die from eating the kernels of the seed or from swallow ing the fruit whole.
 The writer some years ago had quite heavy loss among his young geese from eating shoots of wild cher ry trees that sprung up around an old tree that was in an inclosure where the geese were kept As soon as the cause was discovered the remaining geese were changed to new quarters and there were no more deaths Strange to say that while these green leaves poisoned the geese. the general poultry seemed immune. Chickens not only ate the leaves but picked up the fallen fruit with apparently no bad effect.

He advertised his loss and the purse was returned to him by a park policeman, to whom

NcW CORN FIELD SCARECR0W
Stone Goddess of Liberty, Once on Duty at Douglass County Court
 house, Has New Job.

Omaha, Neb.-A stone Goddess of Justice, 12 feet high, her eyes hood winked and holding aloft her scales, that for 25 years has surmounted the dome of the Douglas county court house in this city. has been bought by George H. Giles. farmer, and is go- ing out of the law business, for new courthouse is being erected to take the place of the old one. which has be- come too small and badly out of style
 She is going out into the corn fields and engage in the humble occupation of posing as scarecrow to frighten the birds away from the grain of the farmer who has purchased her for s10.
 In the corn fields the goddess will hold rags instead of scales in its hands. These it will wave in the breezes, thus frightening away crows and other birds that periodically raid the fields.

UMTANGLE NAMES OF GRAPES
Movement Is on Foot for Revision and Simplification of Nomenclature
 of California Grapes.

San Francisco.--Bulletins received from the department of agriculture by the State University indicate that movement is on foot for a revision and simplification of the nomenclature of grapes in California. At the present time many of the standard varieties bear two or more designations, which is confusing both to growers and con sumers and operates sometimes to the disadvantage of the distributing agencies
 Some varieties, according to the of ficials at Washington, have been grown under a really fictitious name, as, for instance, the "Zinfandel," which fiourishes more extensively in Cali. fornia vineyards than any other red wine grape. Its true name, it is said by George c. Husman of the depart ment of agriculture, who is prepar- ing bulletin on the grape industry, under the direction of Secretary Will son, never has been known. The ori- gin of Teller Szagor," much grown in Fresno region, is now known.
 The Washington experts will en- deavor to simplify many of the desig- nations. The Muscat of Alexandria, the principal raisin of the Fresno district. will officially hereafter be known as Alexandria" This will be a radical change and one that is not expected to meet favor with growers, and the Fres- no people generally who have become accustomed to the name "Muscat" and believe that it will not be improved upon by the change to Alexandria" !"
 "Perie Blanche" and "Bicane" are declared to be the names of the same variety of fruit and the Washington people will hereafter adopt "Bicane" in classifying it.
 There are some new varieties lately , developed which give much promise. | "Pimet" and "Goolable" are new va rieties of black table grapes which are expected to grow in favor. Mel akoff" and "Sultana Rosea" are new | introductions by the experts of the bureau of plant industry. The latter is red grape, very much like the Thompson seedless.
 | There are now II experimental sta tions in this state directed by govern ment experts, the largest and most important being at Oakville in Napa county. There are two at Fresno, one at Cucamonga in the San Bernardino district. There are smaller ones at Lodi, Sonoma, Geyserville, Chico, Liv- ermore, Colfax. Stockton and Noun. tain View.

Young Woman Deer-Hunter

to camp that tie first buck was land ed. From the first day plenty of deer signs were seen, but no animals were sighted.
 The trail of the big buck was struck early in the morning by Miss Loomis, and, although she had frequent glimp- ses of him, she could not get within firing distance until she had trailed it five miles. After following the deer for nearly two hours, Hazel crawled to within 200 yards and fired. Her first shot brought the buck down.
 A two-pointer was dropped few days later when Miss Loomis and her father were hunting together. It was sighted from across a canyon and both fired at the same time and missed. Miss Loomis was the first to reload dropping the luck with a bull let through the neck. Mr. Loomis bagged his spike a few days before the close of the hunt.
 Besides the three deer they brought back nearly dozen rattler skins. The girls are keen woods women and hunt. CTS and enjoy outdoor life immensely

TRIES TO SEIZE SUBMARINE
Bold Dutch Bailff Attempts to Hold Swedish Hvalen for Nonpayment
 of Debt to Fisherman.

The Hague.-A bold Dutch bailiff made an unsuccessful attempt the other day to seize the Swedish sub- marine Hvalen at Ijmuiden, and the foreign office of the Netherlands was obliged to apologize fully to the Swed- ish charge d'affaires. who presented a spirited protest.
 It appears that the steering gear of the Hvalen, which was bound from Spezia, where she had just been launched. to Sweden. broke down in the North sea. A fishing boat picked the submarine up and lowed her to the Hook of Holland on promise of a specified payment.
 The crew of the fishing boat allege that while the Hvalen was tied up at Ijmuiden the damage was repaired, and that the crew of the submarine cut the lines holding them to the fish ing boat and sailed off without paying the bill. The fishermen notified the bailiff. who made an intellectual at- tempt to seize the Hvalen.

Clever "HoIdup" Trick.

A "Koepenick" trick was success fully carried out in coffee house in Budapest one night recently. About 20 persons were gambling when the place was surrounded by II men, who entered the room with loaded revolvers. The leader shouted; "No one move; hands up!" and he then informed the coffee house keeper that they were detectives, and that all the money in the room would be con. fiscated. Two of the band then went round, took the names of the players and relieved them of the money in their pocket-books, as well as that on the table. Subsequently it turned out that the police knew nothing of the matter.

Complementary Colors.

Recent experiments, the results eff which have been placed before the Academy of Sciences in Paris, appear to demonstrate that the true comple- mentary colors of the spectrum have not hitherto been recognized. Red was formerly considered to be the complement of green. yellow of violet and blue of. orange. But according to MT. Rosenstiel, the complementsries of red and orange are neithcr green nor blue, but two greenish-blue tints, and the complement of yellow is blue, and not violet, which is the con- plement of green. MT. Rosenst:el has accordingly formed new "chromatic circle" for the use of artists, which he believes is more correct than it's predecessors.-Youth's Companion.

Grasshoppers Hit Vermont

 CIV hours their havoc has undone na- lures development of months. Then they move to new pastures and repeat the rayages. This has been true throughout the central and northern sections of the state for two weeks. and the farmers are unable to stem the tide or minimize the destructive ness ofsthe pests.
 Occasionally an irate farmer wades into an army of grasshoppers with chance spade or other farming imple- ments, and, swinging right and left. takes a small measure of satisfaction for his loss in miniature slaughter of the insects. But these attacks have little effect upon the general body of the grasshoppers and their exactions from the fields continue. no whit decreased.

Much Damage Is Done to the Crops in Northern and Central Parts
 of the State.

Montpelier, Vt.-The farming sec. tions of northern and central Vermont are infested with swarms of grass hoppers. They have caused much damage to crops during the last fort night and their ravages continue still. The farmers know of no means by which effectually to rid themselves of the pests and are forced to see their fields laid nearly bare without appreci- able attempt at reprisal. The oat and hay crops will suffer most by the de- predations of the insects. In many places the grasshoppers have eaten the grain and grass to the very roots. The pests fourished on all growth during the last dry season, but con tinuation of the recent rains may have the effect of making them seek Few fields

When to Send Children to Europe.


 Some people wait so long before sending their children to Europe that the little ones are humiliated by others who have already been there. Every self-respecting parent will be careful not to subject his children to this evi dent injustice; at the same time all unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
 Some people argue that as soon as child can walk well and speak few necessary French words. he should be placed in stateroom. next to private bath. and sent to Paris. Oth- CTS feel that he must naturally lose much at this age, and that the proper time is between five and six, when as an American-he has reached his maturity.
 Probably the ideal age is about four. At four child can easily do England. France and Italy, and get home in time for the first night at the opera Judges Library
