When Elsie Goes Shopping.

Elsie has been to the city on her
first shopping expedition, and at the
first store had sorrowfully emptied
the contents of her small purse. Com
ing home on the train, her father slyly
slipped a bright penny into the empty
purse, with an eye to making his
daughters heart rejoice. Then be-
hind the shelter of his paper he
watched his daughter until she
CHANGED to open the pocketbook.
Deeply perplexed. the generous par,
ent drew a sobbing little daughter
into the shelter of his arms, until at
length she howled heartbrokenly:
Ely, oh, fly, didn't pend it,"

The One-Crop System.

Only in rare instances Is 1t advis-
able or even safe for the farmer to
depend wholly on one kind Of crop
for revenue. The one-crop system Is
indeed risky; some years it may come
out all right, while in others 1t will
prove a total failure and in that case.
unless the farmer has a good bank
account, he is In poor shape; hence.
for the common farmer 1t is best to
diversity his crops, practicing a rota-
ton and applying all the manure
made BY the farm animals or COM
mercial manures so as to keep up the
fertility of his soil and improve 1t II
possible.

BODY Feeds on Sunliqht.

In reporting to the Academic des
Sciences the results Of some observa,
tions In Southern Algeria on the rela-
ton between diet and sunlight, Major
Miramond de la Roquette of the
French army medical corps gave 1t as
his opinion that the tissues of the hu.
man body directly utilize the radiant
energy of the sunshine. The normal
diet of the natives of hot and sunny
chimes is far lower both In quantity
and in nutritive quality than that OF
inhabitants of less favored regions, the
sunlight seeming to make up the diff
ference.

To Clean Milk Utensils.

On dairy farms where many milk
utensils are in use, the dishwasher
will find that they may be cleaned
easily by first securing each dish with
ashes. Rubbing over them once in
this way is sufficient; then rinse twice.
They should be washed in cold or pref
erably tepid water. to keep them
sweet and clean. The treatment will
prevent rust spots from forming and
keep the utensils bright without injur'
ing the tin.-Mother's Magazine.

A Sugar Plant.

A herb, called by the natives can
che, but botanically Eupatorium re-
baulianum, grows wild in Paraguay.
It is remarkable for its sweetness. In
deed, the native name means the
sugar plant" 1t grows along the
border of the river Amambahi, and
attains a height of only about FIVE
inches. The smallest bit of this plant
when placed upon the tongue produces
q surprisingly sweet SAVIOR, which, it
Is said, lasts for hours. The saccha-
rine power is much greater than that
Of sugar. Recent investigations indi-
cate that the nectareous element in
this plant closely resembles that of
the licorice root.

Saved by Gold Chain.

A gold chain that she wore around
her neck, saved little girl of Cam
bridgeport, England, from serious in
fury, recently. She was on her way
to Sunday school, when a bullet ex-
ploded by the wheels Of a trolley car
hit her on the neck. She felt sting
ing sensation in her neck and discov-
cred a bloodless cut about an inch
long. On looking in at window she
saw that the chain she wore about her
neck was cut. She put her hand into
the bosom of her dress to get the
loose end of the chain and found the
bullet. A search Of the tracks revealed
several exploded cartridges. The po-
lice believe they may be part Of the
shipment that was stolen from a
freight car short time ago.
