A Bit of History
BY ROSALIE w. SPRINGER

the riddle was solved by a bit of paper
found in the pocket of the doubIet'

The story completed was in this
wise: Jules B%eauchemin was a sutton
for the hand of Henrietta, aged TWEEN
ty-four. sister of Castor Arnot. She
detested and refused him. Beauche-

without having resented such an i'm
putation, and Beauchemin always kill

weighed into a room from which there
was no egresS locked in and left in
charge Of the couple. In the early
morning the sister, dressed in her
brothers clothes, appeared on the
duel1ng grounds. Just as the princi-
pals were about to take their places
Henrietta paused, lifted some gauze
from her face and said:
M. Beauchemin, I am Henrietta
Arnot. This quarrel Is with me, not
with my brother. I desire before we
fight that you sign this paper, exon
Grating him from the charge you made
against him."
Beauchemin, astonished, took the pa
per, signed it without reading it and
handed it back to Henrietta. Then he
threw down his sword.
EN- garde!" cried the girl fercely.
Beauchamin refused. Henrietta made
a pass at him which, had he not nim-
bly, stepped aside, would have killed
him. He took up his sword, intend.
Ing simply to parry her thrusts. This
he did successfully for some time,
when either his foot slipped or he be-

thrust through the body.
1t was Henrietta who was chased
and who shut herself up in the secret
closet. But whether she died from suf-
location or because she could not open
the door can eve be known. 1t was
supposed at the time of the duel that
she had fed with her brother, CASTOR.
Gaston's keepers, hearing that a price
was set on his head, set him free and
told him to flee from the cardinals
wrath. He never knew that his sister
had saved him and died in conse.

Hay For the Calf.

Keep hay before the calf after it is
two weeks old. At this age the calf
will begin to nibblc at the hay and will
soon consume quite IL little of it. For
young calves mixed or prairie hay is
better than alfalfa or clover, as the
latter are usually too laxative and
have a tendency to produce scours.
After the calf is two or three months
old it will do much hetter on alfalfa
and will eat n great deal more of it
than of the mixed hay.-Orange Judd

Curious Oriental Solicitations.

Some of the oriental modes of salu-
tation are very peculiar. For instance,
in central Tibet the custom is for the
saluter to stick out his tongue, hold
his right ear, rub his left hip and bow
deeply, all these motions being car
ried on at once. Certainly the other
fellow need have no fear Of personal
assault from the subject Of these curl
GUS antics. Less ludicrous, but equal
ly %reassuring is the Chinese custom of
rubbing noses on Bonded knees. The
salaam or profound bow of India and
the Mohammedan countries serves a
similar purpose.-St. Nicholas.

AS a matter Of commOn observation.
ms Is true. writes X. Il. Coglon. Idaho
Seed commissioner. and an attempt is
i1ade to remedy the difficulty by Sc
curing seed potatoes from a distant
source. often from seed merchants, at
1ancy prices. A few. however, are
beginning to realize that the u is
not SO much in the variety Of potatoes
as 1t Is In the variety of farmer.
The quality of any crop depends
largely upon the quality of seed sown.
II we: plant potatoes with deep eyes
we may expect a crop of deep eyed
potatoes. If we plant potatoes with
."knuckles' or secondary growths upon
them or potatoes that are i'll shafen
we may expect to harvest a crop of the
samedescrintion.
"A miscellaneous collection of large
and small tubers with varying shapes
will likewise produce after their own
kinds. 1t therefore depends primarily
upon the farmer whether the potatoes
deteriorate or improve. In harvesting
the crop it can readily be noticed that
some hills contain a larger per cent Of
marketable tubers than others. 1t is
from these hills that seed for next
spring should be taken.

Ice in summer is almost as neces-
sary as coal or other fuel is in win
ter, and on most farms an ample sup
ply can only he secured by building a
small house and stocking it from the
nearest stream or lake or from a pond
built partly for that purpose.
One cheap and quickly constructed
icehouse is described by a Missouri
farmer as being located on a gravelly
hillside, but a short distance from the
dwelling. Here an excavation sixteen
feet square and fourteen 1eet deep was
made, the porous soil requiring no pro-
vision for drainage.
The walls Were prevented from cav
ing in by closely set poles planted
small ends down. Upon these were
placed rafters which were covered
with sheathing boards. on top of which
was placed a heavy thatch of straw.
Two doors were fitted into frames
with a short vestibule between. In
this the ice was packed on two sides of
a passageway without either sawdust
or straw and afforded an ample supply
for family use throughout the summer.
In other situations it Will be neces-
.sary to build the icehouse entirely or
partly above ground, preferably the
latter if good drainage can be OBJ
tained.-Farm Progress.

Things Farmers Should Know
GRAIN OR sTock7

The grain crop is a liability,
the cattle crop an asset. This Is
the way E. H. Webster, dean OF
the Kansas Agricultural college.
compares the grain and stock
raising. 1t may eel a little Sc
we're, but an analysis of the two
will bear out the statement.
Grain farming reduces the fer
tility. Stock raising increases
it. Grain farming reduces the
humus in the soil. Stock rails
ing increases it. Grain farming
spoils the mechanical condition
of the soil. Stock raising i'm
proves it.. Grain raising fosters
weeds. plant diseases and in
ccts. and stock raising de-
creases them. Grain raising re-.
suits in decreased yields. Stock
raising increases them. Stock
raising develops thrift. Pay as

the credit system. Grain raising

grain raising is expensive. That

THEY THROW AWAY CASH.
Farmers Who Fail to Get Full Value

This liquid is lost either through lack

through cracks in the floor, or. worse
yet, 1T may be washed away by being
exposed to rain until nothing but the
coarSest materials remain. This coarse
stuff does the land an immense amount
of good. but is by no means so effec-
