MODEL MAID GIVES ADVICE
With One Family Twenty Years,
Helena Schwartz Dsclosea the
Secret Of Her Efficiency.

Just 20 years ago Helena Schwartz,
then two years from Germany, became
maid In the homo Of Mr. ard Mrs.
b. b. jacobson OF New York.
She has been there ever since.
When reporter asked Helena what
her employers had done to make her
service so pleasant she said:
Before leaving for America my
mother called me to her and gave me
some advice, and have tried to keep
II in mind. Remember, when you 20
into service that your mistress clos.
est interest is her home, and that It
rests a great deal with you to make
II agreeable, Do Just as you would
do II It were your own home. Never
give anything away belonging to the
house. Not even the smallest morsel.
II any one talks to you about your
mistress, tells the doing In their own
household, do not listen. Never gos-
sip to your mistress either. Be both
deaf and blind to what goes on around
you, and above all things remember
that honesty and truthfulness will
never get you into trouble
Il have kept these rules before me
at all times and II those girls who
wonder why they cannot get along in
their situations would adopt them, I
am sure their mlstresses would be
quick to appreciate their services"

Trees Have Eyes and See.

A German scientist--it Is amazing
that nearly all the amazing things
some from German cientlsts-says
he has discovered that trees have
eyes and see. Not only trees, but all
vegetable life: the grass, the orchid,
the onion, the ragweed and the Easter
lily.
The epidermic cells OF the leaves,
according to this German dlscoverer,
are merely so many convex lenses
which record visual impressions much
as do the facets Of an Insects eye. He
has succeeded. by means OF miscro,
scoPy and photography. In actually re-
producing the images which he has
found in the "eyes" Of trees. They do
not differ greatly from the imagea
formed In the eyes OF human beings.

Mr.. Hamilton pointed out that many

from the very heart Of a walnut tree.

Judae,a Good Advice.

stroyed by the filing OF unnecessary
indictments. and the dismissal of the
indictment does net remove the stig-

That is good advice for any grand
Jury anywhere. There is always dan.
ger Of the thought that this isn't a
trial; It isn't calling him guilty; he'll
have his chance later on; we'll indict
him on general principles" But 1t Is
hard for anyone to undo the damage

New Way Of PRESERVING Eoos

A new way Of preserving eggs has
been practiced in Bavaria recently
which is said to be satisfactory. The
eggs are placed In water OF tempera-
ture Of about 95 degrees for a quarter
Of an hour. Then they are put on a
net. held for five seconds In boiling
water and then, as quickly as pos
sible, removed into cold water. The
eggs, still wet, are laid on eleaL
cloth and allowed to dry by exposure
to the air. They must not be dried
off with a cloth or towel. When they
are dry they are packed In box with
bran and ground peat. The box is
stored in a cool place, out Of reach Of
frost Eggs thus preserved In June
were found to be perfectly fresh next

Live Stock Farming.

Recently it was announced that the
Department Of Agriculture was sending
two inspectors to South American
countries and Australia TO look into
the matter Of shipment Of meat to
this country, and there followed large
volume OF protest from the farmers, who
said the department should no. en-
courage meat importations in compe-
tition with home products. To this
the department properly replied that it
is not seeking to stimulate the import
alton ofmeat, but TO see that whatever
meat is imported is handled properly,
inspected and all the regulations for
the preservation Of the health of the
people complied with. Us activities
in this respect are discouraging, rather
than encouraging.
Importation Of meat from South
America and Australia is an actual fact.
There is now a shortage OF 80 per cent
in home production for the home
market, and the shortage must be
made good from abroad. This short
age seems likely to increase rather
than diminish, as the population in
creases while the live stock decreases.
Strenuous efforts are being made by
the department, as we'll as agricultural
colleges and experiment stations, to
help the farmer fight the diseases which
decimate herds and aocks and make live
stock growing less profitable, such as
the tick, hog cholera, tuberculosis,
foot and mouth diseases, scabies, etc.
Success in this endeavor would mean
an increase in the live stock at home,
which increase is necessary il we are
not to even pay more for our meat
than we now do.
But more than thil is necessary and
is being done. Every effort is being
made to induce farmers to take up live
stock growing as the most profitable
form Of agriculture. This includes
the culture Of alfalfa, crop rotation, use
Of fertilizers, feeding crops to animals
instead Of sci ing them, and a return
to the soil Of the elements taken from
in the growing Of crops. This sort
Of farming is being fully, carefully, and
persistently explained TO the farmers
by the agricultural press, by bulletins,
by lectures, by demonstration farms,
by exhibits and in every way to reach
the ears and intelligence Of those who
are pursuing the old and wasteiul
methods and declaring that farming
no longer pays. Especially are they
being urged TO replace scrub cattle,
both for dairy and beef, by grading
them up with pure blood sires and care
fully saving the good cows from slaugh-
ter. 1t is going to take long time to
get this new farming introduced gen
orally, largely because Of the need Of
cheap money for the farmer to make
the necessary Improvements, and con
sumers face the certainty OF high prices
for some years TO come. But in the
end these various activities must have
the effect Of converting Cur farmers
from mere grain growers into general
farmers, with livestock as a basis and
prosperity as result, and a possible
arresting Of the upward fight Of prices
Of food for the consumer.-St. Lpuis
Globe Democrat.

Working the pubic roads is not a

service rendered the country, the town
and the State. 1t is a service for
Republicans especially, as they are
earnest advocates Of good roads, and
as the present intense interest in good
roads was generated by a Republican
State administration, with the cooper
alton Of devoted citizens olall parties
men big enough to recognize the fact
that the advocacy Of good roads was
neither for political or partisan effect.
