FINDS s5o,ooo IN HIS BED
York State Sick Man Had Searched in Vain for His UncIe's
 Hoard.

Waverly, N. Y.-Edward Powers, a poor young dry goods clerk of this hamlet, had the unique experience of finding a fortune of S50,000 while try ing to arise from his bed. to which he had been confined for some weeks.
 This fortune, which was composed mainly of stocks and bonds. had been hidden away by Powers eccentric uncle, Willard Martin, and when the uncle died, ten years ago. his nephew searched in vain for the hiding place. Powers took hold of the large, old fashioned bed post to pull himself to a sitting posture. when suddenly his fingers slipped into a secret little cav ity that his crafty uncle had built into it. Powers called his sister, Helen, with whom he occupied the house left them by Martin. and she found the fortune. As soon as Pow CTS is strong enough a trip arc--1d the world will be undertaken by the pair.

CERTIFIED MILK KEEPS LONG
Instances Are on Record Where Product Has Been Kept Sweet for
 Thirty Days-lce Helps.

Certified milk will keep sweet for long time. The theory that clean milk should have long-keeping quality works out in practise. h. stances are on record where certified milk has been taken on an ocean voyage and not only brought back in good condition. but kept sweet until 30 days old. In fact, it is now very common thing for people who are crossing the water or taking a long land journey with infants to take sew eral cases of certified milk with them- They are reasonably sure of having a constant supply of sweet milk for several days.
 A number of certified milk dairies in the United States sent exhibits of milk to the Paris exposition> in 1900. The milk kept perfectly sweet for two weeks and in some instances IS days after being bottled and after a summer journey of 5000 to 4,000 miles. Regular delivery bottles were used, the only extra precaution being to use two paper caps with paraffin so as to exclude the air. Of course the milk was carefully packed in ice for shipment, but this was the only means used for preservation.

 One night Mrs. Kitterman retired without thinking to remove the piece of gum she had ben chewing to re- Iieve a dryness in her throat She awoke in the middle of the night gasp ing for breath.
 MT. Kitterman did everything with in his power to aid his wife. but met with no success. A doctor was sum- moned and sent her to the sanitarium. where every known remedy was used for six weeks to force the gum out of her lungs. Mrs. Kitterman finally coughed up the gum and hopes were held out for her recovery. but she was too weak to recover

RAISING CATTLE FOR BEEF
Cattle Should Be Selected From Such Breeds as Shorthorns, Here
 lords, Angus and Galloway.
cRy W. B. RIcHARDs0


 Many farmers continue to raise cattle for market for beef purposes from stock that do not possess any blood of the beef breed. and conse- quently they lack what is known as the beef type. It is impossible to produce beef economically from cat tie of the dairy type. or even from cattle that possess any considerable amount of this blood.
 To produce an animal of the beef type it is necessary to use the beef breeds of cattle, such as the Short horns, Herefords.' Aberdeen Angus, and Galloway Cattle of this breed ing put on flesh very much more rap idly and of better quality.
 A beef animal could be described in a general way as low down compact blocky animal He must have short blocky head, a wide breast, deep wide chest, broad back, a good spring of rib, heavy full thighs. He must have a pliable mellow skin, for this quality indicates a good fieshing tendency.

AN END-0F-THE-W0RLD REVEL
Hungarian Peasants, Expecting the Final CatacIysm, Indulged in the
 Widest Kind of Debauch.

The scenes of dissipation that have recently taken place among the Hun garian, peasantry serve to remind one of the old truism that human nature has not changed very greatly in a thousand years, the London Globe says. The Magyar 1aborers were con vinced that the end of the world was at hand and took the arrival of the comet to be an augury of the nea approach of the catastrophe. Ths parish priest, good, faithful man. warned them to prepare themselves by due penitence and the proper re ligious exercises, but the pleasure loving flock instead gave themselves over to rioting and feasting. They and their priests were soon disillu- stoned when the appointed day passed without anything unusual occurring: but their fright had exactly the same effects as the universal belief that the end of the world would come in the year 1000. The chroniclers of those times tell us that people gave themselves over to drunkenness and vice, rather than to religious exer- cises; the contemplation of so awful a catastrophe was apparently too much for human nerves. At the same time it had been observed that when ever a sudden earthquake in tropical countries has convinced people that the actual day of judgment was upon them illicit unions have been hastily regularized and many son has found a father who never before acknowledged him. Such, at least. has been English experience in the East Indies. and the same was no ticed in the great earthquake during the Venezuelan revolution a century ago. It appears that men must be convinced that the disaster has ac- tually arrived before they will lay bare the innermost secrets of their hearts.

HANDLING THE APPLE CROPS FIrst-Class Fruit Must Be Carefully Picked and Assorted = Good
 Method of Packing.
CRv R. M RATES

CBy R. M. BATES)
 Apples that are to be sold for first class fruit must be handled in a care ful manner while being picked and then laid in piles on the ground where the sun cannot reach them, or hauled to the barn for few days and left in piles to permit some of the moisture to evaporate and the skin to become toughened, in which condition the fruit will stand up better while it is on the way to market and keep longer when packed than it will when put into packages as fast as it is picked from the tree.
 For facing, select smooth, finely colored fruit a little better than the average and place one row stems down, after which the barrel may be filled using nothing but sound perfect fruit, rejecting all wormy, bruised, knotty or small-sized specimens; shake the barrel occasionally while it is being filled, level it up a little above the top of the slaves (about half an inch) {, press down the head with an apple press or screw and nail the hoops. Aft CT this change ends with the barrel and mark the name of tho variety on the face end. Some prefer to have the fruit double faced. but as a rule the best class of fruit shows up to bet ter advantage when faced with but a single row.
 It is essential that the barrel be shaken a number of times while it is being filled for the fruit will pack closer, and there will be less danger of its being crushed or bruised when it is pressed down to place the head in the barrel. There will also be less danger of its becoming loose or shaky in the barrel while in storage or on the road to market. The ordinary sized apple barrel is the one that gives the best satisfaction in the lead ing markets.
 Another matter that should have attention is the tendency to use highly colored fruit from certain trees for facing and packing the middle of the barrel with poorly colored fruit. This unwise practise is being followed in many apple-growing sections, some growers even going to the extreme of buying apples for facing purposes. Whatever form or style of package is selected the time is past when grow CTS can palm of short measures on the buyers.

Time for Prunino.

Currants and gooseberries may be pruned as soon as the leaves fall: or the work may be left until early spring. Cut back one-third of this years growth, and thin out surplus, diseased or unthrifty shoots. Old bushes may have two-thirds of the present years growth removed. Do not prune the new canes of raspber- ries and blackberries until spring; the old canes should have been cut out long ago. It is too early to prune grapevines.

TIME TO SELECT BREEDERS
Flock Built Up by Careful Selection and Elimination Will Give Profits
 and Satisfaction.
By w. E. vApLoN. PoultrvInan. Colo

(By W. F.. VAPLON. Poultrvman. Colo
 rado Agricultural Collese.)
 It is not too early to select the hens you intend using next season as breeders. It will be too late about the time you are ready to set the first eggs, if raising early and productive stock is your object Then you will not know which bullets matured quickly, and laid early and persistent ly; nor the hens that hurried through fhe mott and came back to business quickly; now Is the time to select these Visit the henhouse occasion ally and band the bullets found to be laying; you will soon learn to know those that lay often without looking at their band numbers; these should be used as breeders next season.
 Don't wait until matching time to sell your surplus poultry; do it now all the old hens and all but a few of the best males. As these mature and show their good points, cull again, re- serving only enough to head choice pen of the best laying hens and pull lets. Build a small colony house on ? by 8 runners and haul it out into the orchard, fencing it in. Fifteen to twenty-five hens kept there will lay more eggs during the matching season than the average farmers wife will know what to do with.
 A flock built up by careful selection and built down by careful elimination of all useless and unproductive mem bers will show double the profits and give four times the satisfaction.

en in the green depths below wnerG the sound of running water broke the stiffness of the place It had not beer the beauty of her fair, fresh girlish. ness that had won him, nor the charm of her blond hair and dark eyes.

He had hardly talked dozen times to her in as many weeks, yet every night be had sat out there in the twilight and listened while she sang the tender, rare old songs that all the melody of the new schools cannot quite still. And he knew that she was aware of his pres. ence there. Even while the boys" as the twins called them, f1ocked Loyalty, eagerly around her, something in her voice made him know that it carried a message to him alone.
 Mrs. Devereux made one sole com ment.
 You know you have duty to full fill to the twins, Bertrand. I am your only sister, and I think it would be positively vicious in you. at forty-two. to marry, and take away the twins chances"
 At that particular moment the twins chances on the Carr. millions would have brought about fifteen be low par. The long, low-ceiled room was empty save for the two figures at the piano, and suddenly one Of these rose and crossed to the fire Bertrand followed eagerly, his face set with determination that had stood him in good stead in other battles.
 "Oh, it isn't you I am thinking about" Leonie exclaimed, her head uplifted, as she leaned back against the high, rock fireplace. Its Mrs Devereux and the twins. The girls have been splendid chums of mine, not just girls was paid to talk to and travel with. And they told me all about you before you came up here, told me just what it meant to them having such an uncle, and such pros. poets. It gave them a grip on society that would carry them straight ahead to sure success as debutantes. 1 just can't be disloyal to them, and spoil it all."
 Spoil it, God bless your darling ehart!" laughed Carr, as he gripped her hands fast in his, and held them to his lips. You shall not spoil them. You shall bring them out at the big gest cotillon of the year. You shall present them on the other side, and do anything you want with them. You shall be their fairy godmother--
 A noise behind startled them both, and they turned to find the twins smiling at them, joyously. wickedly from the arched doors
 May we come in, Uncle Bert?" ask ed Marcella, innocently. we couldn't help but hear what you said, and we sympathize with you immensely. Fan and I, and we just want to say this; We'd rather lose the millions than Leonie as an aunt"

 ''I know it," Mrs. Devereux shrugged her shoulders negatively. And it is my fault. She is such superior sort of a girl 1 advertised for a travelng companion for the twins when we were leaving Lakewood, instead oi a governess, and that's what makes he difference. There are lot of college girls and so forth who take positions as travelling companions with the best families for the sake of a summer out ing.

 Mrs. Devereux's shoulders lifted the fraction of an inch, ever so slightly and expressively, and conveyed just the correct shade of meaning without giving any offense to the Madison Leonards.
 'But they have a grown-up uncle"
 Mrs. Devereux made no comment.
 The living room opened on two yer andas, separate from each other, on different sides of the broad, rustic bungalow-shaped hotel. And at that precise moment. on the other veranda, MT. Bertrand Carr sat on the rail, quite as nonchalantly as one of the boys under twenty might have done, smoking a cigarette, and listening to the soft, contralto voice within the darkened room.
 Slowly his cigarette went out, leav- ing a long white ash at which MT. Carr stared retrospectively, and when the music died away. he dropped the cigarette over the rail, and went quiet ly into the living room, to meet his destiny like a man.

ener in New York

New York.-A negro woman with an advanced case of leprosy has been living in New York for more than seven years, associating with people of her own race. The nature of her ailment did not become known until recently when she applied at Belle vue hospital for treatment
 The woman told the physicians that she had come to New York from the West Indies more than seven years ago, and was sick then. She had been married only a short time, she said, when her husband deserted her.
 According to her story. she was passed the last few months wandering about the city, with her child, sleep Ing in the parks at night. Their food was what she could beg or find.
