A snh.titute for A1cohol.

The tendency of people to contract
some sort or another habit is shown
by the common use in various coun.
tries of tobacco, tea, coffee, opium and
the like. In Abyssinia and parts OF
Arabian Turkey the place Of alcohol is
taken by the kat plant, which the ma
tives almost universally chew. In parts
of Abyssinia certain tribes chew the
leaves of the kat plant commonly when
they are compelled to exert special or
long-continued effort, the immediate
effect of which is to produce an agree
able sleeplessness and stimulation. The
freshly-cut leaves have rather pleas
ant taste, and produce kind OF intoxi-
cation of long duration, with none Of
the disagreeable features of ordinary
inebriety. Messengers and soldiers are
enabled, by chewing the leaves, to go
without food for a number of days.
In parts of Arabian Turkey there are
cafes for the consumption of the kat
plant which correspond to the cages in
Europe and America where coffee and
alcohol are used.

SINGULAR JEWELRY.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The esthetic and decorative uses to
which barbarians will turn objects
which to civilized races are things Of
the humblest utility are amusingly H.
lustrated by this fashion note" from
West Africa, taken from an Italian
newspaper:
For some time the officials Of the
German colony In Southwest Africa no
ticed that the telegraph wires and
other accessories of the electrical plant
disappeared as by magic Immediately
after they had been put up. The most
diligent inquiries remained fruitless.
From other parts Of the German pos
sessions came reports of strange
commerce, as, for example, rubber
heels, garters, buckles and so forth,
things which the natives Of those coun-
tries do not generally use.
The governor of the colony gave an
entertainment one year In honor Of
the emperor's birthday, and invited
the chiefs of the different tribes to 1t.
What was his surprise when he saw
these native gentlemen appear with
his stolen telegraph wires twisted
round their illustrious necks. The
higher the dignity the more rings of
the wire were round the neck.
Inquiries were soon started in the
outlying villages, and 1t came to light
that the white china insulators of the
telegraph poles had become ear rings.
A young lady Of the highest distinc-
tion in native society wore a rubber
heel hanging from her nose, and a
young man who was a we'll known
dandy wore dangling from his ears
pair OF beautiful pink silk garters.

Jen related all that he had heard from
Arlel and also his own personal eX-

the handkerchief Isabella heard him
to the end in silence, her large and

he paused, she pondered, and finally
spoke out.

coldly,

YOU must admit that the finding of the

Yes, my mother was. So you see,
Major, she could not have dropped the
handkerchief in the bedroom of poor

ironically, "she may have taken the

Bridge Grating.

Where trees are found girdled In
the spring, the only method of saving
them is by the practice of what Is
known as bridge-grafting
If young trees be gIrdled In late
spring just as growth is beginning,
they may be successfully treated by
binding about the wounded parts a
heavy covering of smooth, tenacious.
soft clay. 1t Is safer, however, to In
sert few long scions, as shown In
the accompanying picture. The sap
circulation Of the tree, cut of by the
wound made by the rodents, Is re-
Sumed through the scions, which be-
come a part of the tree-enlarging

years, only a slight enlargement or
bulge" on the trunk Of the tree thus
treated will be noticeable.

Make the Garden rich.

If had only S. to spend on my gar
den this year, l think | should put
four of it into fertilizers and one into
seeds and plants, says writer in the
Garden Magazine. The reason why the
general run of gardens in this country
have only ordinary success is that a
person commonly thinks first of the
plants that he wants to eat, while the
needs of the soil come afterward.
Every single plant in garden ought
to be a success, and the only way to
have a successful garden is to have
the soil rich. There is a great deal
more satisfaction in having a few stur-
dy plants that are simply bursting
with health and vigor than half
starved specimens of rarities and nov
elites. No one ought to be satisfied
with garden that is simply good
enough" 1t ought to be very good
garden, and the only way to have "a
very good garden is to enrich the soil
by fertilizers or manures.

Incubntors and Brooders.

The only way to raise chickens in
large numbers in a short space Of time
and have them at the right time to
get the biggest prices for them Is to
use incubators and brooders. BY the
use of the hen for hatcheng and brood
ing. enough chickens can not be raised
In season to make It pay. Many Of
my customers tell me that they would
rather take care Of 100 chicks In a
brooder than to care for one old hen
ana her brood. You can set as many
eggs in medium-sized incubator as
you can put under ten sitting hens.
With the machines you have absolute
control at all times. No lice to fight.
No danger of eggs being broken or
chilled during incubation. Eggs and
chicks perfectly safe at all times. No
work at all compared with the work

Erenh Manure.

Authorities say that fresh manure
loses in the process Of decay from 20
to 10 per cent Of It's original weight
Some tests conducted by the Cornell
Experiment Station showed that two
tons of horse manure exposed in a
pile for five months lost 81 per cent OF
its gross weight, 60 per cent Of its
nitrogen, Al per cent Of Its potash
Five tons of COW manure exposed for
the same length of time in compact
pile lost, through teaching and dissi
patton of gases, 40 per cent in gross
weight, Al per cent of its nitrogen,
19 per cent OF its phosphoric acid and
8 per cent Of It's potash.
A ton of average fresh horse ma
nure from animals fed on ordinary
balanced ration, contains about 10
pounds potash.

Poultrx Pickings.

Watch closely and mark the hen
that is laying an egg each day She
is the kind you want to perpetuate
In the flock.
Weed out the hens that lay the
small-sized eggs. They are the un-
profitable ones and never will i'm
prove the quality of the flock.
There are some poultrymen who ad-
vocate pullets for breeders instead Of
yearling hens. 1t is generally found
that well-developed fowls make the
most prolific breeders. -
If you have both pullets and old
hens In your flock keep close watch
and Zee which one is laying the most
eggs A little knowledge along this
line may assist next season In select.
ing a flock Of winter layers.

The Useful silo.

The silo Is a text which Is always
inspiring to the man who knows its
value and 1t cannot be preached from
too often, writes s. C. Miller, Wher-
ever 1t is seen 1t denotes farming,
It solves the problem Of turning into
the highest efficiency that portion Of
the corn crop which fails to reach the
desired maturity as feed. The silo
can be filled at less expense than the
same amount of dry feed can be cared
for and 1t makes better feed. This
is, after all, the main point to con-
slider. Dairymen have learned that
when cows are kept In the stable for
FIVE to seven months they cannot re-
turn as satisfactory profits If they are
confined to a ration Of dry feed alone.
Ensilage gives succulence and is very
much easier to masticate and digest
than dry corn fodder. There Is also
a great saving of labor in feeding en-
silage, over feeding dry corn fodder.
The initial expense keeps many a silo
from decorating the landscape but
1t is good practice to economize In
other directions to provide for 1t. Once
built and rightly built 1t will not have
to be renewed for many years, so the
cost is spread out so thinly that 1t
cuts no great figure in the business

harm is done later on by slugs or

beetles, and few fowls will soon
capture the matured insects If allowed

that most of the beetle eggs have been

of small fly, which has made its ap
pearance for the first time in large

CHAPTER XIII


That the handkerchief of Mrs. Dali
las should be bound round the head Of
Jaggard was strange but that it should
be perfumed with the deadly scent
which impregnated the devil stick was
stranger still. Had Mrs. Dallas found
the wand Of sleep? Had Mrs. Dallas
perfumed the handkerchief with its
cruel poison? Had Mrs. Dallas drug
ged or stupefied Jaggard on that fatal
night by means of that saturated hand
kerchief2 These were the vital aues-
tions which presented. themselves to
the puzzled Major.
And here the personality Of Dr. Et-
wald intruded itself into the affair. It
was Etwald who had bound UP the
wound with the handkerchief in ques-
tion. and had forbidden its removal.
The question was, had he received it
from Mrs Dallas, or had he found it
on that night by the side Of the insen-
sible man? II the first. Mrs. Dallas
must have perfumed # designedly with
the poison. and Etwald, knowing that
IL was so impregnated must have used
il advisedly as a bandage. II the sec
ond. Mrs. Dallas must have been in the
room on lht hlBhl IN question: ana
have used the handkerchief to render
JagEard insensible. And in either case.
as the Major very senslbly concluded.
Mrs Dallas must be IN possession Of
the devil-stick. Otherwise. how could
she have obtained the deadly scent?
And the plain conclusion Of the
whole affair" soliloquized Jen. is that
aIrs. Dallas must have stolen the dew
u-stick, must have murdered Maurice,
and must have drugged Jaggard for
the purpose Of completing her work
by stealing my poor boys body. But

During an experiment in Cornell
University a few years ago the aver
age feed cost for eggs throughout the
year was about cents per dozen.
other experimenters give the cost of
eggs In winter at Is cents per dozen
and in summer s15 cents Under the
present prices of feed eggs would cost
about 12 cents per dozen, but It must
be remembered that on the farm the
hen picks up the most part of her liv-
ing from the waste material that is
scattered over the farm. so that the
cost of a dozen eggs is a very small
item Of cash outlay.
