While sandy soils are probably good
or Strawberries. any soil not too rich
will bring good results.
The surest and quickest way Of
graduating white grubs In a green

Men who are raising scrub horses
and using grade sires of any breed
are very foolish. Plug horses AID those
which fit nowhere may sell low In the
future. but horses that have a trade
will sell high. Any sound saddle horse
or any light harness horse or big draft
horse or coach horse. any good chunk,
any stylish Southern horse. any ex-

cavalry horse will sell well. while the

Friday, however, BY many has been
held to be lucky day, as in Scotland
1t is a favorite day for weddings. Fri

in the history Of America 1t was on
Friday. August 8, 1872, that Columbus
set sail on his voyage OF discovery,
and Friday. October 12, that he first
sighted land: Friday, November %,
1893, that he reached Hispaniola on
his second voyage: Friday, June 10,

Some other events taking place on
that day in America were the Battle

1776, that the motion was made that
the United Colonies of America are

Chance In the Postman.

This small boy, three and one-hali
years old, was accustomed to meet
the postman and get the letters for
the family. He and the postman were
friends and the postman always had a
smile and pleasant word for him.
But one morning when the post.
man came around he neither smiled
at the boy nor said a word to him.
he just handed the letters over the
gate to him and passed or, which was
@ great surprise to the boy The fact
was that this was another postman,
taking that morning the place of the
regular man on this route, but the
small boy wasn't quite old enough to
realize it. This new postman wore
the same uniform, carried the same
bag, was just like the other man in
every way, except as to his face. But
certainly that was different, as the
small boy could see, and so when he
carried in the letters this morning he
announced to the family:
"0ur poe+man has got a new head"

HOW THE POLKA ORIGINATED
Boh+, nian Servant Danced About the
Kitchen to Tighten Her Work,
and Composer Noticed.

The origin of the polka has Just
been discovered. It is said on good
authority that the dance originated in
one of the little villages Of Bohemia,
where a servant, firing of her work in
the kitchen, thought to make it lighter
by dancing around the kitchen and
singing at the same time The mis-
tress of the house overheard her and
called her into the parlor, where she
was asked to dance the peculiar step
over again. A musician by the name
Of Neru a was present and he some
time later wrote music for the step.
The name polka comes from the Czech
language, meaning half step.
In 1889 the polka was introduced
into Vienna and it made a great sue
cess. The writer's of the popular mu-
sic of the day adapted it Immediately
to their work. The polka was danced
on the stage In Paris for the first time
at the Odeon in 1870, and from the
stage it passed to the drawing room.

BROUGHT NERVE TO RESCUE
Experienced River Man Took the
One Chance That Was Left Him
and Saved Life.

The day the ice started to move
there was a jam just above Athabas-
ca landing, writes a Canadian CORE
spondent to the London Telegraph.
and as the mail for Peace river starts
from the opposite bank, the postmas-
ter hunted up a man who was willing
to take 1t across I'm a boat through the
clear water below the ice Every one
in town turned out to see him cross
the river, but no one offered to GO
with him.
was calking on boat No. 1 at thu
time, and I watched him start First
he had to cross about two hundred
feet of rotten ice, dragging his punt
along after him, launch the boat into
the clear water, row across, and go
over as much soft Ice on the other
side. He was halfway across the
open water when the whole river
seemed to stand on end-in plain
words, the jam broke. Strange to
say the boatman did not at arst no
tice it, for the ice against the bank

time; but a man on shore fired a gun,
and everybody pointed and waved up
stream.
The boatman never lost his nerve;
he rested on his oars for a moment,
glanced round, and turned the boat up
stream Slowly at first, but soon
gathering speed, he sent his frail
craft hard at the ice The boat hit
the ice squarely, and ran up it. It
was his only chance, for if the mass
had caught the boat sidewise, it would
have smashed it like an egg-shell,
Hanging to the punt, dragging It
from one piece Of ice to another, jump
ing some pretty wide gaps once or
twice, and sometimes hauling the
craft after him with the short line, be
struggled on.
It was the bravest thing I ever saw
In my life, but I don't want to see tt
done again. On both banks the peo-
pie stood helpless; they could do
nothing except watch, and some could
not do that.
Finally the intrepid boatman reach
ed the shore, and, needless to relate.
he did not try to come back that day.

ed on Charge Of Assault and Battery.
Mrs. Rosa Sasek, Sfavish woman,
who conducts a boarding house ol
North Main street, is a long suffer
ing woman, but she draws the line at
her husband giving her a black eye
and as a result of this discrimination
the husband Frank Sasek was arrest
ed this morning by Police Officer Henry
Feldschau on charges Of assault and
battery. Mrs. Sasek was IN court with
the badly bruised face ana she deelar
ed that she wanted her husband to
have the limit, insisting that in addi-
tion to backing her eye he had choked
and kicked her. sasek was decidedly
penitent, but the court sent him to
Jail for a ten days term and added
to this incarceration a fine Of five dol
lars and the costs of the action with
the understanding that he put in ten
more days at the county bastile if the
fine and costs are not forthcoming. 1t
is expected that the wife will be ready
to pay the fine at the end of the Jail
sentence.

BROUGHT HOME HIS DUCKS
Early Day Method of Catching the
Birds In Great Numbers That
Was Popular in Maine.

A duck drive is what they called q
novel way the early settlers took to
capture the ducks that were plentiful
in the early settlement Of Maine.
For few days in August the birds
could not fly, as they were shedding
their feathers. The time was well
known to the Inhabitants Of all the
towns about Deer Isle and those who
could come did not fail to be present.
First q circle Of boats was form I'd SO
as to partially surround them and
others were stationed so as to prevent
the birds taking wrong direction.
Duck Harbor was the place selected
to drive them into, it being narrow
and extending half a mile inland. Be
ginning at the upper of the bay the
boats were drawn IN for several miles.
AS this went on more birds were over
taken and as they reached their dea-
tination large number we're INCLUDE
ed III the drive.
P.eaching the shore at the head Of
the harbor, the ducks not being able
to run much were oYertakeu and
killed in large numbers. At one time
a large drive was made and the birds
attempted to walk through the woods
to the other shore, but being unable
to walk died in large numbers. This
was the last big drive that was made.

Maalc Of tha Ralnhow.

The rainbow shimmering high in
the heavens is more than mere arch
Of glowing colors. 1t is a royal am
bassador from the kingdom of nature,
herald bearing a message of vast
Importance to mankind. Written up
on it's brilliantly-hued, shining arch
way is a truth that man has finally
appreciated after the countless ages
that have passed since the first rain
bow gloriied the heavens. And this
truth is what? Nothing less than the
revelation of the component elements
that constitute the sun and stars and
the dim-shining nebulae lost in the
farthermost hiding places of the uni
verse. BY means of this truth, writ

Aoid.Proof CONGESTION.

Iron alloys containing a certain per.
centage Of chromium are usually EN-,
ployed in the manufacture Of articles
and apparatus which should resist the
action of acids. These compositions
are, however, not absolutely acid
proof Recently the welI-known Ger
man metallurgist. Professor Borchers,
of Aix-Ia- ChapelIe, discovered that by
adding molybdenum to an iron com
position containing more than ten per
sent chromium, in amounts Of % per
cent, an absolutely acid-pvoof COM
position can be obtained 1t is es-
sential, however, that the iron be free
from carbon, or at least nearly so.
A composition containing 35 per cent
iron, SO per cent chromium and
per cent moIybdenum, it is claimed,
remains unaffected even by hot aqua
regia. This alloy has the tenacity of
cast iron and can be worked like the
latter. Titanium and vanarium may
be used instead of molbdenuna, but the
latter is preferable.

DID GREAT THINGS AS BOYS
Notable Instances of Those Who
Fave Accomplished Much in
Their Youth.

It Is well for us to remind ourselves
not infrequently Of the historical fact
that some Of the greatest achieve
ments in The world have been made
by youth, and it will always be SO in
human history. David had expert
enced some Of the greatest emotions
before he was twenty, and was a king
at the age of eighteen. Raphael had
practically completed his life work at
age Of thirty-seven. He did no great
artistic work after that age. James
Watt even as a boy as he watched the
steam coming out of the teakettle,
saw in it the new world of mechani-
cal power made possible by the old
element turned and driven BY a sim
pie appliance. Cortez was master of
Mexico before, he was thirty-six.
Schubert died at the age of thirty-one,
after having composed what may per-
haps he called in some ways the most
enhancing melody ever written,
Charlemagne was master Of France
and the greatest emperor of the world
at the age of thirty. Shelley wrote
Queen Nab when he was only twenty-
one, and was master of poetry before
ne was twenty-five Patrick Henry
was able to shape the revolutionary
aistory of new country before he was
thirty, and astonish the world by his
ocatory before he was twenty-six years
old. AT the age of twenty-four Ruskin
had written Modern Painters, and Bry-
ant, while still boy Of high-school
age, had written Thanatopsfs. The list
of achievements Of youth in all ages
in all departments Of activity--is end
less.-Christian Herald.

FLOATING Farms 81 China.

Like the wood merchants of north
ern Russia, who carry their wood on
great RATS to Nijni-Novgorod, Kazan,
and Astrakhan, the farmers of the up
per and central regions along the
Yang-ste-Kiang construct RATS COW
ering as much as two acres of surface,
and on the RATS they establish farms
where produce grows. On these great
floating farms are habitations for the
men and stables for the animals, pig
pens, feed-barns, and storehouses
well stocked with provisions. The
voyage to market is often one thou
sand miles, and co employ their time
on the slow journey the dwellers on
the RATS make baskets and many OBJ
jects of household use. Arrived at
their destination, they sell their prod
uce, take apart and sell the RATS,
and return to their homes by the ways
used by ordinary trayelers.-Harpers
