to discover a climbable ridge, 1t will
be necessary in future attempts in or

make a winter campaign, and reach
the base of the mountain by a dog
sleigh over the snow"
"Since the year 1895, when w. A.
Dickey, a prospector, first sighted this
snow-capped peak, scientists and ex-
plorers have been untiring in their eff
forts to reach the summit in order to
determine it's correct height, which is
estimated at 10000 feet above the sea
level The peculiar Typographical con-
ditions of the surrounding country,
however, have caused the failure Of
the majority of these. The mountain
is located in the center of the Alaska
wilderness, and exploring parties, de-
string to reach the base are compelled
to travel at least $50 miles through an
almost impossible country, undergo
ing all sorts of hardships and many
dangers in crossing the swollen
streams, and scaling the ice-clad
slopes of the neighboring heights. BY
the time the party reaches the base of
the mountain, the members are worn
out, their supplies are depleted and
they are unable to begin the more for.
midable task of climbing a slope,
which is one mass of ice, from dis
lance of $4,000 feet. BY using the mo-
tor boat the Parker expedition will
eliminate the hardships incident to
reaching the base of the mountains,
and will thus be in excellent condition
to begin the ascent.

Reverence for Friendship.

The spirit of contempt is fatal to
any endurable personal relations to
another, and every approach to this
spirit is an obstacle to lettering re.
lation. 1t is the worst of mistakes,
therefore, to suppose that, as ones
friendships become more intimate,
they may become less truly reverent.
The intimacy of friendship is not
measured by the number of privacies
insolently invaded; and even the
closest life relation may not spare
the spirit of genuine respect and def
erence. The real friend will not de-
mand; he only asks. The very high
est fruit of friendship can hardly be
withheld from the genuinely reverent
spirit, whereas every trace of con-
tempt embitters and degrades.-Henry
Churchill King.

Money and expense are not essential TO
artistic homes and attractive rooms. One
dollar and fifty cents worth of material
will completely transform crude, mar
tistic room into a graceful, dainty apart
ment.
Really it is good taste and skill that
makes the home homelike. That dainty
touch is worth twice as much as money.
Wall paper is expensive-it costs money
to buy it, to hang it and again to re-
move it. With the use of the alabastined
wall there is only the slight cost of the
material--any one can brush it on--and it
is not necessary to wash it off the wall
when a fresh coat is required.
1t is very easy to mix, very simple to
apply, but the results are simply beauti-
full. A whole house can be done at just
q little more than the cost of single
room when ordinary materials are used.
And this is true, that now that we have
30 much better materials for use in the
decoration of our homes, that wall paper,
common kalsomine and paint are now as
much out of date as the old time white
wash, tallow candles and rough hewn
floors. Mere money is no longer an es-
sential in good housefurnishing in artistic
home making.
The new materials and labor-saving ma:
chimes are most welcome to us all-and
every thoughtful woman, every woman
who cares for her home, is quick to utilize
them

POULTRY NOTES.

Poultry keeping Is a decidedly
oealthful occupation.
The early spring pullets make the
fall and winter layers.
Select medium-sized, welcomed
eggs from healthy hens for setting.
Allow one male of the large breeds
to IL hens, and one to 15 hens of the
smaller breeds.
The Bourbon Reds are said to be
quiet and easily handled, non-roving
in habit and yet very hardy.
No one can succeed well with poul-
try who permits them to live year
after year in filthy places.
Keep the chicks absolutely free
from insects to grow them to ma
turity as quickly as possible.
Keep the pigeons flying lofts clear
of bolts as the birds are apt to injure
themselves by flying against them.
For the man in the business of egg
production, with fowls of the Leghorn
type, incubators and breeders are q
necessity.
Unless one has the time and pa
thence to attend to the Incubator prop
erly, he had better let the hen hatch
his chickens
Buckwheat is a good food, similar
in composition to corn. 1t is best
used in connection with some more
heterogeneous food
One can learn many things from
books but one of the things one can
not learn all about is pigeon raising.
That takes experience.
Duck eggs should be set under hens
If early broods are wanted. Hens
make better mothers, at least, for the
early broods, than ducks.
Have the laying and setting rooms
we'll cleaned, the partitions white
washed and the nest boxes busted with
tobacco dust to check the lice.
There is not as profitable an adj
junct to any farm, be it large or small,
or even the tenant, for the amount in
vested, as a nice lot Of poultry.

CALLED FOR QUICK ACTION
Incident in the Philippines Is Recalled
by the Death of Rear Ad-
miral Dyer.

1.-THE death of Rear Admiral Dyer
robbed the navy of one of the finest
officers that ever walked deck" said
an army man who saw service in the
Philippines.
Dyer, who was second in command
under Dewey at Manila bay, had a
record as a fighter. He was never
known to miss a chance of getting
into scrap. Late in 1898, Dyer, in
command of the cruiser Baltimore,
with one or two gunboats, conveyed
from Manila down in the town Iloilo,
on the island of Panay, considerable
force of troops on transports. 1t was
the expectation that Iloilo would be
seized, but the Filipinos prepared to
resist and, as hostilities had not be-
gun with them, we refrained from
making an attack.
1.-THE vessels lay in the channel Off
Iloilo for weeks. That troublesome
German cruiser, the Irene, which
Dewey chased out of Subig bay, put
in an appearance. The naval officers
were sore at the Germans for their
attitude at Manila, and would have
liked nothing better than good eX-
cuse for war. 1t was felt in the navy
and army alike that the Germans were
helping the Filipinos.
zone morning early, several small
boats pulled away from the Irene. It
could be seen they contained machine
guns. Ostensibly, the crews were 60
ing out for target practice, but they
headed for the mouth of river that
led back to Iloilo 1t was only few
minutes until launch left the Balti-
more, hurried to the Irene, an Amer
lean officer went aboard, and pres
emily the Irene's boats we're signaled
back and the machine guns hoisted up
over the side.
Gust what happened do not know;
but every one who saw 1t believed
Dyer had called a sharp halt on what
was covert attempt to turn machine
guns over to the Filipinos. Nor did
any one doubt that he was ready to
back UP his word with the guns of the
Baltimore. That Irene gave no more
trouble in that region. Nor were there
any more attempts to hold target prac-
tice. "-Washingto Times.

LAYERS ARE MONEY MAKERS
Careful Selection of Flock, Eliminating
Drones, Is Sure to Increase
Productveness.
(By w. E. vAPLoN, COLORADO AGRI-
GIL TRIAL COL .EGE

CBy w. E. VAPLON, COLORADO AGRI-
CULTURAL COLLEGE)
Do not blame your pullets next
winter when they are not laying;
you should have been busy on the
problem during the present winter.
You should know which hens are fur
nishing the eggs from which these
pullets will be Matched; the chances
on the average farm are that the eggs
from the poorer layers and slower
maturing pullets are being used for
this purpose, and that the hens that
have been laying all winter are being
used to hatch these eggs. Culling, se-
lection, elimination, kept constantly in
mind, and continually practiced, will
mean healthier fowls, livable chicks.
earlier pullets and eggs when they are
most wanted.
Do not set eggs from the whole
flock, but dispose of all males not used
in this breeding pen, and from the re.
mainder of the fock gradually elimi-
nate the drones. 1t is surprising how
large a proportion of the average
flock is useless, or worse than USE
less, for these non-producers are in
the way of the workers and are pre-
venting them from doing their best. If
you cannot make up such a breeding
pen this spring, try this for next sea-
son. Next fall mark or band the first
thrifty pullets to begin laying; also
the yearling hens that are doing well
this season. During the early winter
carefully note their performance, and
from these banded hens and pullets
make up your next years breeding
pen. You will be surprised at the in.
creased vigor and productiveness Ct
your flock.

MOST PEOPLE DO
NOT KNOW CAUSE
OF THEIR SICKNESS

Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question is becom-
ing widely discussed since L. T. Coop
or first advanced his theory that the
stomach is the true seat of life and all
health dependent upon it.
Mr.. Cooper, who has met with re-
markable success in the sale OF his
new medicine, believes that the stou-
acn is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently. he said: Il am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such a record
wherever have introduced it. My an
swer always is, because it restores the
stomach to a normal condition No
one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems
to be the matter with them. They
are Just half-sick most of the time.
They don't know really what is the
matter with them. have talked with
thousands during the past two years,
and few knew indeed what their trou-
BILE was. One said nervousness, another
said kidney trouble, another liver COM
plant, some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung trouble. Many had
treated, as they called it, for most OF
these diseases at different times. A
very common complaint is all run
down. or tired all the time or no
appetite
II know positively that every bit OF
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble and nothing else.
My New Discovery puts the stomach
In sound condition in about six weeks.
Mighty few people can be sick with a
sound digestion. That is why my medi-
cine is selling at such a tremendous
rate. l have convinced many thou
sands of people that these things are
so, and the number is growing by
leaps and bounds"
Among more recent converts to Mr..
Coopers beliefs is Mrs. Lottie l..
Miner, living on Rural Route No. 2,
Henniker, N. H., who says: Il was in
poor health for six years, from stom-
ach trouble and Indigestion. Quite
frequently my stomach was SO weak
that it would not retain solid food. I
had vomiting spells every morning, and
was subject to frequent attacks Of dir

that l often felt it was not worth the
living. l tried everything l could hear
of, but found nothing that would af-

HATS HAVE UPTILTED BRIM
Fashions Change Is Complete and

Great Many.

AS a departure from the hat that

Rather trying is this style, requiring
features that can be overshadowed by

Fancy Net Turbans.

The Powered turban has given way
TO a large one made of coarse fancy
net. The same kind is used that we
have had for gown drapery during the
Winter. Brilliant colors are seen,
such as purple, the new vivid dark
blue, black, white with black spot,
and Chantecler red.
The turbans are an artistic mass of
this net twisted into puffs and loops
and ends. The latter are wired in or

turban character.
