 Raising his finger to indicate that we were to make no noise, he led us into the other room.

 He finished his examination and shook his head

 Kennedy merely stared at him. But the rest of us instinctiyely removed our hats.
 Kennedy gazed at Elaine, overcome. Was this the end?
 1t was not many minutes later that Kennedy had Elaine n the little sit ting room eff the laboratory. having taken her there in the ambulance. with the doctor and two attendants. Elaines body had been placed on q couch, covered by blanket, and the shades were drawn The light fell on her pale face

 Doctor he asked slowly as he worked do you know of Professor Ledue of the Nantes School of Medi- cine?'
 Why yes" answered the doctor. but what of him ?n

 Craig paid no attention to his fears. but, approaching the couch on which Elaine lay. applied the electrodes, You see" he explained. with forced calmness. T apply the anode here the cathode there"

DAMAGE TO WHEAT FROM SCAR
Disease More Prevalent Than it Hac
Been for Several Years, Says
e. c. Stakman.

St. Paul.-Damage to wheat this
year from scab will be from 2 to &c
per cent, according to E. G. Stakman
OF the Minnesota experiment station.
The disease, declared one of the most
serious to which wheat is subjected, is
more prevalent than it has been for
several years, Mr.. Stakman holds.
Every farmer probably is familiar
with the symptoms" Mr.. Stakman
said. THE whole head may dry pre-
maturely, or only individual kernels,
or groups of kernels may dry. On
examining closely, it will be noticed
that there is pinkish substance, eth
er at the base of the chat, or cement
ing the cha1f together. This contains
the spores of the fungus.
"All of the light, shriveled kernels
and a great many of those which are
slightly below normal weight should
be blown out in tanning and grading
the seed for next year. This tanning
and grading is very important, and
should be done with great care. After
all the bright, plump grains have been
secured in this way, they should be
treated with formaldehyde, as for
sinking smut

LOANS OVER TWO MILLIONS
Mark-Agent Expects Demand for
Money to Aid Farmers.

MinneapOlis.-The Federal Reserve
bank has passed the two-million mark
in loans for the first time since it's or
ganization. The figures are $780,
331.S2. The increased demand for re-
discount from member banks is due
mainly to business stimulus precedent
to the crop movement rather than to
the grain movement proper, which is
only starting, Theodore Void, COVER
nor of the bank, said. The total re-
sources of the bank now stand at $15,-
SO2,2S697.
Reserve Agent John II. Rich, who
has been canvassing the situation rela-
tive to the impending movement of an
enormous grain crop and the prospec-
tive money requirements, said he ex-
poets there will be demand on the bank
for the exercise of it's rediscount func-
tons in much greater degree before
long.
1T is difficult, as yet, to get line
on the situation," Mr. Rich said, but
it is certain that tle Northwest will
need much money to finance the big
crop. To some extent the bankers will
be able to take care of it without re-
course to the privileges of their men,

1T is my expectation, however, that
the crop will require so much money,
especially if the export movement is
impeded or lessened, that the reserve
bank will be found of great advan-
tage."

Fly Poison.

House flies are more than nui.
sances; they convey disease and filth
wherever they go. So, if there are
no screens in the house, try these sim.
pie methods for getting rid of them:
In the bedroom put sponge in sau-
Ger and saturate it with oil Of laven-
der. If this is hung two or three feet
above the table one may eat in peace
throughout the meal. Pots of rose
geranium, or the branches bruised and
hung up, are also said to be good for
flies. A honey pot of death and de-
struction to them may be made with
two ounces of ground black pepper,
four ounces of white sugar and half
a pint of sweet milk. Cook the things
together for minute or so, and then
fill small plates with the mixtures,
keeping edibles closely covered.
Sweep up the dead flies twice a day
and burn them.

COMPLETE AND NOISY MEAL
Traveller Surely Well Fitted With
Abundance of Nourishment
and "Music"

The longest and noisiest dinner that
Mr.. James Sibree, Jr., the author OF
"A Naturalist in Madagascar" ever at
tended was given by the governor of
a town called Texarkana. About score
OF officers were at the table and seven
ladies'. After a long grace by the pas
tor, dinner was brought in, and consist
ed of the following courses:
First, curry; second, goose; third,
pigeons and waterfowl; fourth, chick
en- outlets and poached eggs; fifth, beef
sausages; sixth, boiled tongue;
seventh, sardines; eighth, pigs trot-
tiers; ninth, fried bananas; tenth, pam
cakes; eleventh, manioc; twelfth,
dried bananas.
And lastly, says Mr.. Sibree, when l
thought everything must have been
served, came launches of roast beef.
Claret went about very freely, and at
length some much stronger liquor;
and the healths OF the queen, "Our
friends, the two foreigners" then
those OF the prime minister, chief Sec
rotary and chief Judge, were all drunk
twice over, the governors coming
last: and each was followed by mu.
steal and drum honors.
There was a big drum just outside
on the veranda, as we'll as two small
ones, besides clarinets and fiddles.
and these were in full play almost all
the time Then the room was filled
by a crowd of servants and aids de
camp, and the shouting of everyone,
from the governor down, was deafen-
ing. The old gentleman directed every
thing and everyone. was glad when
I could take my leave, after two hours
sitting, but l was not to leave quietly.
The governor took me by the hand and
escorted me home, while the big drum
was hammered at ahead of US all the
way.-Youth's Companion.
