Aeroplane Carries OFF Prisoner.

tiers in the rear of General Ivanoff' 8
army in his 15O,horsepower machine,
accompanied by his mechanic. The
machine carried small gun and a
number of bombs.
Owing to motor trouble. Paschaloff
had to descend two miles behind the
Austrian lines. While the mechanic
was repairing the motor six Austri-
ans approached. Paschaloff turned
his one-pounder on them and fired
ono shrapnel shell, which exploded ac-
curately and felled five men. The
sixth surrendered.
Then came the problem-what
would he do with his prisoner? Pas.
chaloff decided to abandon his stock
of bombs and tie his prisoner to the
tail frame of his machine. Thus bur-
dened, the aeroplape rose and flew
over the Austrian lines amid a storm
Of bullets, regaining the Russian lines

Bcrlin.-The war Is responsible for
the appearance, on every battle front
and in almost every fortress, of Sc

where German troops are trying to get

EATS WITH HIS MEN
Kaiser Depends on "Goulash
CannOnS" for Meals.
Intimate Picture Of the Soldier-E mpen
or In the Field-No Special Prep
arations Of Any Kind Are
Made for Him.

New York.-An intimate picture Of
emperor whose sharing OF the life Of
the common soldier has united the
humblest and the highest in Germany
in love, affection and veneration, Is
given in the following dispatch to the
New York Staats-Zeitung
The kaiser, to whom the "goulash
cannons," the great travelling kettles
of hot food owe their existence, is
very fayorably inclined toward this
important new contriyance on the
field Many tales are told in evidence
of this, OF which the following is one:
A country road in France-soldiers
arrive, carefully carrying dishes. The
dust.covered field grays who are en-
ioying their repast suddenly become
attentive On the road there appear
four riders-ofiicers. One separates
from the group and gallops over to the
"goulash cannon"
Have you a bit left for u.s."
AT your service, captain"
Almost Immediately the other three
riders gallop up. The kaiser! in de-
lighted surprise all shout "Hurrah!"
and the highest commander thanks
them with a smile.
How does it taste?" he asks. DO
not let me disturb you; only want
a bite to eat, too; | am hungry"
Then he rides over to the "goulash
cannon where the captain already
has a dish filled for him.
He takes it good naturedly and eats
in the midst of his soldiers.
Excellent, excellent" he says now
and then and asks for a second por-
ton. Il am taking away your share,
but | will prove my gratitude"
The soldiers are enthusiastic and
proud that the kaiser took his food like
each of them from the same "goulash
cannon" and "dined" in their midst,
A real soldier kaiser, rousing hur-
rah accompanies him when he takes
leave OF his men with a vigorous Good
day"
In the evening several geese and
chickens were sent as naturalization
for the noon meal" and were eaten
with great Joy for supper.
This little incident Is characteristic
OF the attitude and life % the kaiser
at the front, for he lets no opportun-
ity pass to take his food from the
"goulash cannon" when he Is visiting
his troops along the battle line For
this reason no arrangements are ever
made for the kaiser's meals on these
trips.
I'VE will meet a 'goulash cannon, ;"
he always says when asked as to what
he wishes to order for his dinner.
This Is also a proof Of the excellence
OF the food which the troops receive
from the field kitchens, for the kaiser
never announces his arrival before
hand No special preparations are
made for him.
Il will eat what my soldiers eat"
he has often declared

also, he received the iron cross.
With Captain Drape there was
sent to Antwerp Baron Won Pletten-

In private life he is managing director

The hotbed should be made as early
as possible, the first week in February
in the North. A square box about IS
inches deep, covered with common
window sash and filled with II inches
of manure and two inches of finely pull.
verified topsoil is all that is necessary.
A temporary hotbed can be made
by making a foundation of coarse sta.
BILE manure into broad fiat heap and
thoroughly tamping it down. The ma
nure heap should be eight or nine feet
wide, IS to "a inches deep and as long
as may be necessary to fit the window
sash. The frames, placed on top of
the manureheap. should face the south
and the front board should be from
four to six inches lower than the back,
so that the water will drain from the
glass.
After the topsoil is put on, the bed
should be thoroughly sprinkled the
sash closed and the bed left to gen.
crate heat. If properly made the heat
ought to run up to 100 degrees or more,
falls to about so degrees. This con.
dition will generally occur about the
third day.
The seed should be sown in straight
rows and each variety marked with the
name on a small fiat stick placed at
the end of the row.
The hotbeds must be watered slight
ly in the morning only. If watered at
night it will tend to chill the bed and
retard the plant. The bed must always
be we'll ventilated and Oh bright days
the sash should be removed in order
to give the plants all the sunshine pos.

be closed with the exception of about

GREATLY IMPROVED
PEPPER VARIETIES
New Upright Sweet Salad Is OF
Recent Observation-Disclosures
DuIce Is Largest.

Green peppers are fine. They can
be grown on any good garden soil, but
should not be put out till the ground
Is warm. The varieties of peppers,
unlike the egg plant are numerous,
and therefore have been greatly i'm
proved of late years. The New Up
right Sweet Salad is of recent intro
duction. 1t is bright scarlet in color,
mild and sweet
Magnum Dulce is by far the largest
pepper in cultivation, and the most
prolific; no other variety gives such
large specimens. 1t Is very sweet and
perfectly reliable.
Ruby King Is one OF the standards
and has for many years been deserv-
ing OF first place among the varieties
of peppers but in many respects 1t Is
not equal to the above-described kinds.
Chinese Giant is very large but not
as prolific as some of the other large
varieties.

The farm garden is left to women
folk, but they manage to produce an
average of over 5000 per acre every
year-four or five times as much as
the average farmer produces from his
general crops.
The average value of garden truck
produced by dwellers in small towns
and cities is much above 5000 per acre.
1t is fact that the best gardeners in
this country are city and town dwell
ers, doubtless because men pay more
attention to the work and are more
willing to spend money for fertilizer
and good seeds than the farm wife.
AS rule farmers pay little or no at
tention to their gardens, although they
expect their wives to supply the en-
tire family with vegetables the year
around The most menfolk do is to
grudgingly pillow up a plot OF ground,
harrow 1t perhaps once or twice and
then leave the rest to Providence and
the women.
IL more attention were paid to the
selectlOn OF good SEEDS ana the use OF
proper fertilizers, in addition to stable
manure. and if the womenfolk could
have the services of the hired man
three or four hours week, they would
be able to double their garden crop.
Even if the farmers wife cannot buy

vegetable fertilizers. but must depend
upon what stable manure she can
wheel to her garden plot on a wheel
barrow, she can by proper methods not
only increase the yield of her garden
but do it with less work.

start with good seed This requires

SOME ESSENTIALS

Never plant melons near squashes or

Do not plow too early in the spring
Wait until the ground is dry. Follow
with the harrow until the soil is finely

Use wood ashes for potatoes. The
potato relishes the potash contained in
them and the scab does not like the

POINTS OUT NATURES ERROR
Mr.. GwimpIeton Turns Aside From
Daily Duties to Discourse on
Matters of Conscience.

Wealth, as we know" said Mr..
Gwimpleton, ''is very unevenly dis
tributed but conscience is more so.
Some men are overburdened with
conscience; some have none at all.
Some people worry themselves sick
transgression of the civil or the moral
law.
There are others who worry only
that they cannot safely transgress the
more.
Between these two extremes we
have the man commonly described as
overconscientious, meaning one wor-
thy but timid, who let's a conscience
too keen and active keep him from
betterments of his fortune that he
might otherwise compass. Then we
have those people who are not trou-
bled in such ways, who are all but
constituencies and whose conscience
really lies dormant.
1t is true, too, that a thing that
may stir one mans conscience may
not touch another's; we are differ.
emily constituted There appears to
be no absolutely definite standard of
conscience applicable to and actual
ing all men alike. This enormously
complexities the conscience situation.
But still the great primary diff.
Guilty lies In the uneven distribution
OF conscience. If we could only have
something like an even distribution
or such conscience as now exists it
would. for one thing, in some meas
ure reduce piracy in its manifold
forms as now practiced under civilized
conditions by men without conscience,
reducing the stock of the man of abb
normal conscience, spare him the wor-
rlments that now beset him and let
him take without Qualms whatever
benefits rightfully belong to him. In
fact, a more even distribution Of con-
science would tone up the world gen.
orally and make it in many ways a
vastly more comfortable world to live
in.
Pending that happy day it be-
hooves us. l suppose-at any rate, my
friend MacBlink, a well meaning and
cheerful but not always overtrustful
man, says it does-to be still more or
less wary in our dealings with our
fellow man in order to avoid subject
ing our well meaning but weaker
brother to undue temptation, and to
avoid being circumvented by some
body who was perhaps overlooked en-
tirely in the conscience distribution"

the sun shines brightly. Too much
heat will make the plants weak and
spindly.
BY all means have an animal-proof
fence inclosing the garden and self
closing gate.
Although flowers cannot be eaten,
they. too, have a mission, so plant
them among the vegetables. The wife
will appreciate them.
The asparagus is a "glutton." Give
it lots Of rich food and it will repay
you.
Get the brush for the peas and poles
for the beans when it is too wet to
work a field or in the garden.
