refused 10 marry him. With great and
entirely unexpected moderation, he
merely slashed her face with a razor,
so that nobody else would want her

ONE DAYS CATCH

tie rope Is or 20 feet long around a
small barrel that has been well
plugged up and made water-tight To
the end of the, barrel is fastened a
large steel hook, baited with dried
fish. Several of these barrels, with
rope and hook attached, are put on
board yacht and a start is made for
the noted shark grounds just outside
the harbor. On their arrival at the
shark ground the casks and lines are
thrown overheard about 100 yards
apart, and the yacht cruises round,
awaiting developments.
Presently one Of the barrels COM
mences to rock up and down and
dance at a great rate, sometimes dis
appearing under the water and re-
appearing at distance. Then boat
is lowered and its occupants row as
rapidly as possible toward the float
ing barrel. Backward and forward, in
circles and winding lines, the elusive
cask is pursued, and only after q
long period of hard rowing, sometimes
for hours, is 1t captured and towed to
the yact, the hooked fish dragging
after it as a matter of course.
The tactics pursued at night are diff
ferent. line of great strength, 800
feet long, is employed with the usual
hook and chain attached and baited as
described above. One end of the rope
is tied to the wharf and the we'll
baited hook is thrown a few yards
away into a shallow pool in the mid
die of patch of Inoonlit sand. Very
soon dark object is seen gliding
like a shadow from the deep water
across the sand toward the pool and
hating a few feet from the bait, the
fishermen, of course, all sitting as still
as statues a little distance away.
When the fish has made meal 1t
starts off back to the deep water
again, and the rasping of the rope
signifies that the hook is In It's mouth.
Then-and not until then-the men
jump for the rope and run with 1t in
the opposite direction The shallow
water is now cut into foam as the
taut line is pulled through 1t, and the
shark splashes with great fierceness
and fights strongly for it's life. The
Juggling men sway rapidly to and fro
until their efforts are at last trium-
plant, and the shark Is hauled up oQ
the sand

American Royalty

The American Bonapartes, one of
whom was married short time ago
in New York, are descendants of the
Emperor's youngest and most trouble
some brother, Jerome, from whom
Prince Victor Napoleon, the present
head of the house, also traces his
descent
Jerome married Miss Elizabeth Pat
terson in Baltimore In 1903, but his
brother refused to recognize the mar
rage and in 1906 annulled 1t, married
him to Princess Catherine of Wurtem-
berg, and made him King of West
phalia-
The American Bonapartes derive
from the Patterson marriage and the
European family from that with the
German princess. The American fam
lily have been generally undistin-
guishcd, but one OF its members.
Charles Joseph, was secretary of the
American navy from 1905 to 1906.

Why not mix the crops.
Rape is excellent for hogs.
A chilled chick is a dead chick
Movable hog houses are convenient
Feed sour milk to the chicks from
the start
AS soon as the chicks crowd they
are too cold.
The soil must be fed, these days, NJ
well as it's owner.
All old wood should be removed
from the rose bushes.
Leave the chicks in the incubator
until SO to 4S hours old.
Silage is the best roughage for fat
tening any class of cattle.
The chicks should have grain in the
litter, so they will exercise.
Driving on one rein is usually
caused by sharp tooth or teeth.
Culling the flock and separating the
weak and sick chicks is important.
The fence line makes harbor for
weeds, insects and other crop pests.
The practise of feeding hogs on
forage crops alone. is not economical.
Much farm machinery wears out
more through exposure than through
USE
Use the coarse folders, straws and
the stalk fields for wintering the breed
ing herd.
When bugs are plenty and hens have
free range the beef scrap may be dis
continued.
Try topworking a few apple or
plum trees. The work is interesting,
but not hard.
BY drainage, many acres Of now
;dle land could be brought into profit
able cultivation.
Don't yank the lines and swear at
the team. Find the cause Of the trou-
BILE and remove It.
Quarantine all hogs you buy for at
least three weeks after they are
brought on the farm.
Keep mixture of wood ashes, char
coal, salt, lime, sulphur and copperas
before the hogs all the time.
The often repeated reminder to give
the young pigs whole oats on raised
platform should not be scorned.
Stop churning when the granules
are about the size of peas, varying to
wheat, and draw off the buttermilk.
When the soil is loose to sufficient
depth, corn roots penetrate in abun-
dance to a depth of three or four feet.
No mistake will be made in choosing
the Senator Dunlap strawberry to
grow fruit either for home use or mar
ket.
Farm manure is perishable prod
uct which must be handled with in
telligence to obtain it's maximum
value.
Where manure is coarse and care
lessly spread part of the ground is
fortified and part of it is left with
out any.
Never keep a SOW no matter how
good or well-bred she may be If she
will not produce more than five strong
pigs at a uLtor.
Harden the chicks while still In
the incubator by opening the incu-
bator door for about one-half inch after
they are we'll dried.
AS pasture, hay or fertilizer, crimson
clover offers itself to farmers at time
when the ordinary summer-grown
crops are not available.
When the spreader is used, less
manure will be needed to cover one
acre and the value and effectiveness
of the manure will be increased.
There has too long been an unrea-
sonable prejudice against mules. and
yet they may be made one of the most
valuable economic features of the
farm.

&a.' 'R!
Study each cows tastes.
There is profit in broom corn.
For moles in the garden use traps.
AS soil builder clover has very few
equals.
Shelters should be supplied in every
pig pasture.
A few staples prevents many a
breachy heifer.
I'll warm or hot weather provide
shade for the chicks.
We must either put our idle land to
work, sell it or lose it.
No place is too small to afford some
garden or plant growth.
The safety of horse depends large
ly upon his early education.
Putting colts in damp, dark stables
is likely to produce rheumatism.
Plenty Of salt is vitality essential to
the thriftiness of the young stock.
Get the chicks out on the fresh
ground and fresh air as soon as pos
sible.
Mix all the cream to be churned in
one vat or can at least eighteen hours
before churning.
Small white onion sets are the best.
II they cannot be obtained, yellow
sets should be used.
A stunted calf will never make as
would certainly warrant,
The grass and the cattle are both
better if the owner is not in too much
of a hurry to use the pasture.
The up-to-date farm equipment in
cludes machinery for the housewife
as well as for the men outside.
Corn is naturally hungry plant. If
you want it to grow feed it literally
with fertilizer, water and sunshine.
Horses are often whipped for things
purely imaginary in the mind of the
driver, and it is too cruel for words.
Wash the butter once with pure
water at the churning temperature,
agitating three or four times, and
drain.
Cream that contains from 80 to 40
per cent butter fat churns better than
that having only half so high fat
content
The temperature of churning should
be such as to make the butter come
In from 35 to 40 minutes, usually 55 TO
go degrees F.
Eggs absorb odors, not so readily as
milk, but readily enough that one can
not afford to store onions beside a
basket of eggs.
Always offer the horses water be-
fore going to bed at night. Never
leave the horse thirsty all night after
he has eaten his hay.
Keep the harrow coming along soon
after blowing. This is the beginning
of that good surface cultivation that
we hear so much about.
Be gentle and quiet In handling the
SOW and she will never cause any
trouble. unless she is a particularly
vicious or ill-mannered female.
Crows will catch young chickens
and carry them off and il they get
started they sometimes steal dozens
of chicks, unless stopped with gun.
Hogs roaming at large always sup
ply themselves with pure food and
water, and do not suffer from disease
as do those which are confined and
heavily fed.
Probably in no country are CONNER
cial fertilizers used to a greater ex-
tent than in Germany, and there the

The Brazilian Maxixe and Other New Dances
Described by Adelaide, of the Jardin de Danse.
%

in his. tho girls left hand in the
mans right hand. simply facing each
other. They make the same steps
together. but with opposite feet. The
entire meaning of the dance is re-
Vealed in this one fact. 1t is the
most importan, thing to remember in
the whole movement.
on the first count of the music the
mn slides his left foot forwari,
draws his right foot near from the
left, sliding Immediately the left foot
forward again, and benCir~ the right
knee. The girl does the same back
ward. This is really double move
ment forward with the left foot, with
slight bend of the right knee. bring
ing the right foot off the floor
On the second count the man
touches the floor slightly with the
point of his right foot and bends the
body slightly backward, and then
points his foot in the opposite direc-
ton. backward, in the meantime
bending the body forward. That
means that the movements of lhe
feet and body are directly opposite.
This contrary movement is in itself
one of the most beautiful things in the
dance At the same time the girl
bends her body forward. then back
Y I'd.
The third and fourth counts Of the
first movement are a repetition of ihe
same thing. the ste Of the first and
second counts only beginning with
the other foot and reversing the body
movements
Thus it can be seen that there :
nothing al all difficult about this first
movement The hardest thing about
the dance lies in the swaying gr3ce
of the body; the steps in themselves
are very simple-it is suppleness and
agility that must be attail.ed

The Manicure LADY
By WILLIAM F. KIRK

I1X you have been throwing your
brothers poetry at me so
long" said the Head Bar
Der, that l sat up home last night
and wrote a poem all by my lone
some. 1t is the first poem that l ever
wrote and I suppose it will be the
last, but ] made up my mind that l
was going to finish it and read every
line of ii to you and make you like
it,"
You can read it if you want to-
said the Manicure Lady, but amt
sure whether I'll like it or not. What
in the world ever got it into your
head to write a poem?"
The spring fever, | suppose said
the Head Barber The name of this
poem is Afternoon in April Listen
kiddo, and see if this isn't as good as
anything your brother ever wrote.
Get this:
An afternoon in April fair
How great an afternoon it seems.
When spring is bounding through the
air
And young and old have golden
lined dreams.
| always loved the spring the most
Because the fall makes me feel too
sober.
Ny mother in September died
Ny dear old dad croaked In October.
Il walk along the messy banks
And feel as happy is loon,
To all of Nature | do give thanks
pom a April afternoon
That amt half bad, admitted the
Manicure Lady Il am surprised,
George. to think that barber could
