The eggplant is one of the most
in the home garden. The plants should
be started in the hotbed or in the
house the same as tomato plants. The
subsequent transplanting to the cold
frame and finally to the garden out
side should be the same as for toma-
toes. They should not be set out in
the garden until settled warm weather,
as the plants are very tender. About
three feet each way is the best dis
lance for planting. The soil should
be kept well stirred and free from
weeds. The potato bug sometimes
attacks the elephants, often with IA
tai results to the young plants. The
best remedy is the paris green-bor
deauX mixture.

one tablespoonful of finely chopped on
ion and cook five minutes Add this to

beaten egg. Refill eggplant, cover with
buttered breadcrumbs and bake TWEEN
ty-five minutes in a hot oven.
Eggplant Fried in Butter.-Cut the
eggplant into slices one-quarter of
an inch thick after the skin has been
removed. Sprinkle the slices with
salt, pile them one upon another upon
the back of the dish. Place on them
a plate holding a weight and let stand

he could not utter a word, and he thought to
himself: THE queen will be angry at my
silence"
But the queen was still smiling and did
mot look angry.
She spoke first and said, in a voice sweeter
than music:
"Be welcome and sit down"
And, with a finger which looked like a ray
Of light, she beckoned him to some purple
cushions on the floor.
Balthasar sat down, sighed a big sigh, and
selling hold of a cushion with. each hand, he
exclaimed hurriedly:
Madame, I wish these two cushions we're
giants and your enemies, so that l might
wiring their necks,"
And, speaking thus, he squeezed the cush-
ions so hard in his clenched fists that they

The king did not know what to say; but
she pressed him:
"Tell me, now, II you would please me-"
Then, with a great effort of memory, he
described the practise Of Ethiopian makers of
sweets, which consisted Of stewing ounces
in honey. But she was not listening to him.
Then, all Of a sudden:
my lord, they say that you are in love
with Queen Candace, your neighbor. Tell me
truly, is she fairer Of face than III"
"Ohl Madam, how could that be?"-and
Dalthasar fell on his knees at Balkis' feet.

The Mau Of Life.

1t is being said of an elderly man in
business in Atchison: "He can't stand
punishment as he formerly could.s
And there is punishment to be en-.
dured in making a living; don't forget
1t. Look over your own experience,
and you will detect punishment every
hour Of the day. If 1t isn't at home, ii

How many ways there are to punish

and behave himself. And after a man
gets old it is more evident every year
that the poor fellow can't stand pun
ishment as he could when he was
younger.-Atchison Globe.

ing 1amn through the thick atmosphere OF the
Mace. reeking brutes fighting with lists or
knives for a cup of fermented drink, while
others slept, with closed fists, under the ladies'
Balkis, perceiving some salt nsn hanging
from the rafters of the roof, said 70 her com
panion:
81 should like to eat of that salt fish with
pounded onions"
Balthasar ordered the dish, but when she
had finished eating, he discovered that he had
taken no money with him. He took little con-
Germ and thought they could go out without
paving. But the innkeeper barred their way,
calling him a slave and calling her a donkey,
at which Balthasar knocked him down with
his fist. Some of the men, with uplifted
knives, rushed upon the two strangers. But
the black king, selling hold of an enormous
pestle used for pounding Egyptian onions,
crushed two Of his aggressors and compelled
the others to retreat. He felt Balkis by his
side, which made him invincible. The friends
of the ~lnnkeeper, not daring to approach,
hurled at him, from the back of the shop, oil
jars and cups, lighted lamps, and even the
enormous brass pot wherein a whole sheep
was stewing. The pot fell with a crash on
Balthasar's head and split 1t. He was
stunned for an instant, but, gathering up his
strength, he hurled the pot back with such
vigor that the weight of 1t was increased ten
fold. The crash of the falling metal was
mingled with horrible groans, and with the
shrieks of the dying. Taking advantage Of
the terror Of the survivors and fearing lest
Balkis should be hurt, Balthasar took her in
his arms and ran with her through the dark
and deserted streets.
81 love thee" whispered the queen.
And now the moon, peeping from behind a
cloud, revealed, in Balkis's half-closed eyes, q
ray of light damp with tears. They were go
ing down the dry bed of a torrent. All Of q
sudden Balthasar's foot slipped on some moss
and they fell down holding one another In 4
tight embrace. 1t seemed to them as IL tht
world Of the living had ceased to exist. AND
when at lawn gazelles came to drink from the
hollows of the stones, the lovers were still
wrapped in oblivion.

tional Association for the Study n

Within the last two years the num-
Der Of state institutions for tubercu-

increased from about 80 to so. The
expenditures of public money for the
treatment of tuberculosis also has
more than doubled. Not less thar

over 100000 in 1910, when only IL
legislatures were in session. The ap-
preparations of counties and cities for

In the last two years will aggregate
