NettIes as Substitute for Cotton.

The search for a cotton substitute
has been going on In Europe for a
long time, and many experiments
have been made with the common net
tie, which has been promising plant
on account of the strength of its fiber
and its ready growth wild under the
most discouraging conditions, with
large yield per acre. The great diff
Guilty has been in separating the fiber
from the woody stem. In a method
of treatment that has been worked out
in the last two or three years, the
dried nettle stems are boiled about
half an hour in dilute soda lye, and
the loosened fibers are then separated
in machine with revolving brushes.
The material Is then subjected to a
number of alternate boilings In dilute
lye and thorough washings, both un-
der high pressure. The product Is a
mass of yellowish fibers, free from
gum, that can be bleached, combed,
and spun into lustrous white yarn.
This is claimed to have the smooth
ness and softness of fax, with a
strength even greater than that of
hemp. The yarn has been made into
brilliant damask. and can be used
alone or with other threads-for up
holsteries, ribbons, and a variety of
fabrics.

One of the curiosities of irrigation is
that it is sometimes necessary to drain
such lands. When the lands are sitr-
ated on a comparatively level, the
water from the irrigation ditch above
seeps along the line between the rock
formation and in many cases accumu-
lates in such an amount that it actual.
ly becomes swampy. Then it has to
be drained, just as in the case of the
the south. 1t seems strange to wit
ness the laying of drainage system
in an arid country, but it has been
done a great many times. The aver
age user of irrigation who fails may
trace his lack of success to the too
liberal use of water. Instead of water.
ing he really browns his crops.

First Rock to Talk.

In New street, Horsham, England,
says writer in the May Strand, there
is to be seen the very exceptional and
interesting spectacle of talking rook.
The bird is the property of two school
children, little girl and boy, who
caught 1t five years ago, when 1t was
quite baby, in local rookery. It is
of the gentler sex, and occupies a
small pen in a tiny back garden. No
attempt has ever been made to teach
the rook to talk, and yet she has a
vocabulary of close upon 100 simple
words. She Is often allowed out in
the garden, for, although she can fly
swiftly and strongly, she can be trust
ed not to make her escape. 1t is said
that this is the first instance of rook
developing the power to talk.

Rather Unreliable.

"You say that you refuse to believe
the sworn testimony of this man"
asked the examining barrister.
THAT is So" replied the witness.
"What reasons have you?"
"Why, l know the man! He hates
to tell the truth-it's absolutely for
eign to his nature. He and l were at
the same school, and he used to cry
bitterly when the teacher made him
repeat that two and two made four
Have you any further reminis'
cences, sir?" This rather sarcastical-
ly from the man of law.
ooh, dear me, yes! Once he was
ill and described. his symptoms so that
the doctor prescribed for water on the
knee, when he was really suffering
from infiamed tonsils!"

WHY MAN ExcELS AT GOLF
Woman Lacks the Active Physical
Training Which Her Brother
Gets In Boyhood.

If you were asked why men play
better golf than women your answer
probably would be: because men are
stronger than women. And that
would be the truth, but only part of it.
Possibly the difference in the effec-
tiveness of the woman's and the mans
game can, as some people claim, be
traced directly to the length of the
shot, but the more one investigates
the more he is led to qualify this con-
clusion. 1t becomes, on the whole,
less reasonable to credit solely to
muscular advantage the eight to nine
strokes which, roughly, measure the
handicap due from man to woman.
In other words, If man and a wom-
an should happen to have an equal
supply of strength and endurance, 1t
seems that the man would turn out to
be the better golfer. That is the ques-
tion.
In the first place, men have far
greater game experience. They begin
to play bat and ball games at an ear
lier age and thereby develop more
thoroughly the feel" of clubs and the
fine eye that is necessary for success
in such games. There are all sorts
of games that boys amuse themselves
with from their earliest youth which
give them eye. And when they take
a golf club in their hands for the first
time the essential act Of concentrating
their vision on the object to be struck
is not novelty. 1t is second nature.
/ With girl it is different. She has
not daily played games that developed
her eye, such as marbles, Scrub"
hockey, snowballing and target prac-
tice, games that are the constant avo-
cations of bipeds who practice the
profession of being boys. And yet one
, of the greatest of women golfers as
sures me that women have shown in
tournaments more concentration of
the eye than men and that only last
fall this fact was proved. 1t appears
that computation was made both at
the mems championship and the wom-
ems which proved that the women
missed their drives less often than the
men.-Charles Alden Seltzer in the
Outing Magazine.

sest way TO Rest.

Sometimes the best way to work is
to take few hours of relaxation be
fore plunging into troublesome duties
1t is impossible to rest unless there
are quiet and calm in the mind and
peace in ones heart and soul.
A trouble worried brain disturbs
the entire physical forces, making one
incapable Of work or ones best eff
forts.
There is a great difference between
the naturally lazy person and one who
knows the need of rest One cannot
find pleasure in rest unless one works
for otherwise there is no contrast. It's
like eating when one isn't hungry. Nc
hurried, flurried, fussy woman can
ever be beautiful.

BREED THEATER.
{ the Fsrsst, Greatest Wild An nal Picture Ever Made.

today and tomorrow only, the
 heater will present Kings of the
 positively the greatest animal
 ever made. It is in two reels
 overs two thousand feet of film
 story that is all times thrilling
 interesting. It tells of a little
 in the Transvaal wilderness
 because of domestic differences,
 le estranged. and the husband
 s the little child with it's young m0sher in the cabin home. He later nests an old friend. to whom he tells his troubles, but the friend views the din5cnity from an altogether different standpoint and explains to the husband where he is in error, and urges him to Teurn to his home and resume the for hner pleasant home relations. This he does, but upon reaching home he finds the cabin empty and evidences of the depredationS of the neighboring kings of the forest. He searches long over the trail and after unceasing travel he comes upon the covered wagon that his wife used, and later upon his de- liricue wife. The child is found in an old chest where she had taken refrge when the lions made the attack. The animals completely demoIish the wag- on and carry off a live calf and are again seen stalking a baby girl in the heart of the jungle. There are two reels of similar sensational incidents and the whole picture abounds in ciev- CT action and wonderful story. For two days only this picture can be seen at the Breed and 1t is certainly the most exciting motion picture ever pro- duced.

TWO HIVES LOST IN
 FIRE AT NEWPORT
Thirteen Buildings Damaged With
 Total Loss of s2co,ooo.

Newport, R. l., Dec. 2s.-Two lives were lost and thirteen buildings dam aged here early today in a fire which caused a Loss of s200. 900 Bremen and policemen, searching through burned dwellings after the fire. discovered the charred bodies of Mir. and Mrs. Frank s. Heath Mir. Heath was 70 years old and an invalid. Appearances indicat- ed, that his wife attempted to carry him from their burning home when both were overcome by smoke. Mir. Heath is a veteran of the civil war.
 The fire started from an unknown cause in the three story brick and frame store of the George A. Weaver company, at Broadway and Spring street, and spread rapidly to nearby buildings. Flaming brands were car ried long distances by g strong west wind, and in a short time several structures were afire.
 Among the buildings destroyed were the blaming mill of NJ. A. Mccormick the store of the Weaver company and dwellings of James Kane, Constance Small. Peleg Bryer and Frederick Bloom. Other dwelling houses were damaged considers~
 The entire fire fighting force of New port was assisted by more than 200 bluejacketE from the naval trsinine station under the command of Lieuten. ant Commander Fl. K. Cage.
