How They FACE Death.

A British medical man thus tells his
experience of how men and women
face death: Tell the man of higher
type and greater intelligence, he says.
that he is facing death, and he begins
to fight, demands a consultation, talks
about going to specialists and fights
grimly to the finish. Tell a woman
the same facts, and she lies back to
await her fate. All women are fatal
lists On the other hand, tell man
that he has one chance in a thousand
to recover if he will undergo an opera
ton, and he will trust to his own
strength ard endurance rather than
undergo the knife The woman will
choose the thousandth chance, and
submit to the operation with astound-
ing calmness. s.-Canadian Odd Fellow.

Notohed the spotters.

Charlie Mann. who has been super
intendent of the House press gallery,
Washington, since Johnson was i'm.
peached, let go of secret which
ought to make half the travelling
population of America examine their
shoes.
Mr. Mann was a Pullman conductor
once upon time. He says the con-
ductors were a blameless lot in his
time and are to-day, but the porters
bent most OF their efforts to spotting
"spotters.' The spoilers" were men
sent out by the company to ride on
the cars and keep tab on the conduc-
tors
Every time a porter suspected a
passenger of being a spotter," said
Charlie. "he would cut notch on the
inside of the heel of his shoe After
that man with a notched heel was
watched every time he rode on a
train. Lots of times the porters made
mistakes. and many a man got rough
deal on a Pullman car Just because
his heel happened TO be cut by mis-

Farmers Must Watch the crop,

In order to determine what ele-
ments of plant food are deficient in a
soil, it is necessary to carefully study
the growing crop. Many farmers seem
to be of the opinion that a chemical
analysis of the soil will show the
amount of plant food contained there
in. This however, is mistaken idea,
The chemist can only determine ap-
proXimately the amount of nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash in soil,
without specifically showing what pro-
portion of these elements can be TAX
en- up by the growing plant. A large
percentage of these elements is not
available to plant food Hence the
necessity for them in an available
form. We must turn. then, to the
crop and by watching it closely dur
ing its growth and by careful exami-
nation when matuTed see whether .he
soil is deficient in plant food and what
elements are lacking.

The Bedtime Kiss.
o mothers, so weary. discouraged.
Worn out with the cares of the
day,
You often grow cross and impatient,
Complain of the noise and the play;
For the day brings so many vexatlons,
So many things going amiss;
But, mothers. whatever may vex you,
Send the children to bed with a
kiss!
The dear little feet wander often.
Perhaps, from the pathway OF
right;
The dear little hands find new mis-.
chief
To try you from morn until night:
But think of the desolate mothers
Who'd give all the world for your
bliss,
And, as thanks for your infinite bless
Send the children to bed with a
kissl
For some day their noise will not vex
you,
The silence will hurt you far more;
You will long for the sweet children
voices,
For sweet childish face at the
door.
And to press a childs face to your
bosom
You'd give all the world for Just
this;
For the comfort twill give you in sor.

Wee.s.

Certain weeds are prevalent in alf-
alfa fields. The chief ones are dodder,
sweet clover, Russian thistle and
squirrel-tail grass. One of these dod-
der, is parasite on the alfalfa. The
others are all pernicious because they
occupy space that should produce alf-
alfa.
Dodder, or 'loye-vine," terminates
from seed and the young plant, when
OF sufficient height, entwines itself
about the alfalfa stem and then be-
comes disconnected from It's own root
and thenceforth feeds upon the alfal-
ia plant.

Specialized Fiction.


For merchants of hardware. a hero
like this:
Keen, wiry, with plenty of brass;
Give the iron-jawed man
Nerves of steel, and he can
Compete with the best of his class.
The jewelry trade want their heroines
bright,
A golden-haired damsel for choice;
With an ivory skin,
Pearly teeth-and they pin
Their faith to a silvery voice.
The villain for seafaring men should
be deep,
And able to compass his ends;
With wave to his hair
And a frank, breezyair
When stacking the deck he intends.
In works for the grocer, a good spicy
plot
And style full of ginger will tell.

Should add to your chances
OF writing a book that will sell.
