 ey-AmusinE Adventures.
 One side of the late Prof. Lombro- sos character little known to outsiders made him adcred by his children. es- pecially his two daughters, who looked after him as though he were a child.
 His two greatest domestic character istics were disregard of appearances and absent-mindedness, says a London letter to the New York Sun. When he was invited out in the evening it was the work of two or three days to get him keyed up to putting on his dress clothes. and even then he was capable of weakening at the last mo- ment and going out just as he hap pened to find himself
 Once when going to Rome he lost his overCCat, but was not in tre least discouraged. as he entered the first shop of ready-made clothing and bought the toD-most warm thing which came to hand without even looking at it. It proved to be a long. bright, bottle-green cloak, which came down to his heels and in which he looked, with his broad-brimmed felt hat. like a figure attired for the carnival
 His absent-mindedness was so great that when under the care of the home circle he never attempted to look after the money and would even leave the house to go shopping without ever looking to sec if he had his purse with him. Naturally when he travelled the consequences for his pocket were dis astrous. He invariably arrived home without penny, no matter how much he had taken with him. having either lost it or had it stolen.
 In Vienna once he lost his purse, which frightened him so that when he recovered it he resorted to the expe- dient of dividing his funds into vari- ous small sums, which he concealed about his person in all kinds of un- likely places. so that at least he would not lose it all at one time. There was a note in the lining of his hat. another in his boot. several pinned to his shirt, | and so on, but, notwithstanding this, he arrived home in his usual penniless condition.

Back to the Farm.

There are three al%important things Co be weighed by the city man who wishes to return to the farm. The first is his wife. If she is in every sense of the word a helpmate, loves the country and can give up what she has been used to in the city for the sake Of the children and the building of real home. then the prospects are fairly favorable to begin with. The second thing to be considered is your years and capacity for work; the third, what is your capital? If all these are favorable, don't lose day in trying to get suitably located. If any one of these points is doubtful. deliberate well and move slowly. If you have fat bank account and wife tied to the fieshpots of the city you can do nothing in the country; but, on the other hand, if your wife be one with you heart and soul, then capital might at a pinch be forgotten. As to the second point-that of years and capacity for work-this is very important, because so many of those who are earnestly desirous of forsak- Ing the city to-day are we'll advanced in years. who think that the country would afford them an easy means of earning a living. There is nothing easy on the farm.

Loss on Farm Crops Due to Fungi.
 Prof. w. A. Orton. in an article on the importance of the development of farm crops resistant to disease, justi- fies his statements by pointing out that the present losses from plant dis eases are heavy tax upon the farmer. He states that in the United States alone the average annual loss from oat smut is more than $6.5OO,OOO; from loose-smut of wheat. S3,000,0O0. and from bunt, or stinking smut of wheat, more than S11 100000. Loose-smut an nually dlminishes the value of barley S2.000.000, a careful estimate of the loss in one State last year placing 1t as 2 per cent. The combined effect of the various diseases of fungal origin attacking the potato diminish the

wisdom in Buying Feed.

When much food is to be bought the aim should be to grow so much coarse fodder that whatever Is bought will be bought In the shape of fer tilizer. The wisdom of doing this arises from the less cost of transport ing concentrates because of the less bulk which they contain in proportion to their nutriment. The fertilizer may be very profitably used in growing the coarse folders needed.

 It is evident that Mrs. Humphrey Ward does not see in woman suffrage solution of the divorce problem, which she has made the theme of her recent novel, Marriage a la Mode" The eminent writer has just been elect ed a member of the New York State Association Opposed to Woman Suf- frage in company with two other we'll known English women. Mrs. Ward has long led the ''antis" in England. while her sister, Miss Arnold, is actively en- gagged on the other side.
 One of the many ways in which the growth of the suffrage movement has grown both in the United States and in England is demonstrated by. the increased demand for fiction on the subject as we'll as for serious work. The Convert" Elizabeth Robins novel published some two years ago. is now selling as though it were just issued. It is a novel of English life at the time when suffragette violence was just beginning to attract the at tention of the world and had not yet become a factor in the movement.

A writer in the Revue Scientifique
 discusses the effects of ivy growing on
 walls of various kinds, and arrives at
 the following conclusions: It is not
 advisable to allow the plant to grow
 on walls formed of newly cut stone,
 since it soon destroys the smooth sur
 face, although the damage does not
 extend to any noticeable depth; it is
 bad for ancient walls of cut stone, the
 joints of which have been opened by
 the various effects of time and the
 weather; it is not injurious on brick
 walls, if the inhabitants are not sub
 ject to rheumatism; and it is useful on ancient walls of rubble, since its interlaced branches tend to prevent the fall of loose stones.

 The experience of the corps of tel egraphers employed to operate the wireless apparatus used by the French in the recent campaign in Morocco suggests that the Hertzian waves de- velop various affections of the eyes. A slight conjunctivitis, resembling that occurring among those who work with arc lamps, was commonly observed, together with a few cases of a more serious nature. Two cases of eczema were apparently due to the same cause, and one man suffered from palpitation of the heart after working for any great length of time at the sending instruments. Doctor Belille is inclined to think that many cases of neuras- thenia and nervousness, now becoming common in the navy. may be due to the influence of the waves used in wireless telegraphy.
 The immense cavern (the Giant Grot- to) is situated near Trieste, Austria, and is said to be the largest known to exist It consists of one vast chamber, 7S7 feet long. 433 feet broad and 452 feet high. There are three entrances, two in the roof, and one at the edge | of the roof, which has recently been | provided with ladders and steps, so that visitors can safely descend into | the grotto. Once on the bottom, prog | ress is easy. The cavern contains re- groups of stalactites, some of them of gigantic size and others of | bizarre shapes. The tallest stalactite has length of little more than 39 feet. No side or underlying caverns have yet been discovered. The bottom of the grotto is 525 feet below the sur face of the ground forming the top of the roof, which in turn is about 1,5S0 feet above sea level

A Handsome Woman

Every woman may not be hand
come, but every woman should
keep with care the good points
nature has given her. No woman
need have sallow skin, dull eye,
blotchy complexion, who pays
proper attention to her health.
Where constipation, liverderange-
ments, blood impurities and other
irregularities exist, good complex
ion, bright eyes and sprightly
movements cannot exist. Internal
arrangements reveal themselves sooner
or later on the surface. Headache, dark
rings around the eyes, sallow skin, con-
slant tired feelins---mean that the liver
and digestive organs are needing help and
correction. Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets give this necessary help.
They work in natures own way. They do not
merely flush the bowels but tone up the liver and
stomach to fulfill their proper function. So mild
and gentle do they act that one hardly realizes
chat they have taken medicine. ChnmberIain's
Tablets can DO relied upon to relieve biousness,
indigestion, constipation and dizziness. Sold ev.
