Fewer Suicides in Paris.

Suicides in Paris have dropped to
about two a week, as compared with
an average OF fifteen to twenty in or
binary times. People who always
want to know the why and the where
fore of everything have endeavored
to get at the reason of this. A wag,
who is perhaps not so far off the
truth as some might imagine. sug-
gests that every one is so anxious to
see how the war will end that they
cannot bear to shuttle of this mortal
coil until victory crowns the day. 1t
is just possible that suicides are fewer
now because so many favorite means
of going to ones long account are not
readily available. For instance, from
the first moment that war was de-
clared all gunsmith shops were closed
up, and neither arms nor munitions
of any kind can be bought. No one
is allowed on any part of the great
public monuments. so that jumping
off bridges or the Arc de Triomphe is
no longer possible. Also the sale Of
intoxicating liquors is restricted.

Where one has never made the ex-
pertinent Of leaving of coffee and
drinking Postum, it is still easy to
learn something about 1t by reading
the experiences Of others.
Drinking Postum Is o pleasant way
out of coffee troubles. A Penn. man
says:
MY wife was victim Of nervous
ness, weak stomach and loss of ap-
petite for years; and although we re-
sorted to numerous methods for re-
lief, one Of which was change from
coffee to tea, 1t was all to no purpose.
ave knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take its place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all of
her troubles had disappeared as If by
magic. 1t was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone. stomach trou-
BILE relieved, appetite improved and.
above all, a nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
This sounds like an exaggeration.

SOME FAMOUS IRISH BULLS"
Collection Of Few Of the Best Known
Made by Brandon lyman,
the Playwright.

OF course it took an Irishman to
write the best definition of an Irish
bull" His exact identity was unknown
to Brandon lyman, who quoted him the

lence of such bulls" in the dialogue
OF his new Irish comedy, The Melody
of Youth
IF you see twelve cows lying down
in field" wrote this unknown Irish
man, "and IL one of them is standing
up. you'll know that that particular
one is an Irish bull"
Here are few OF the many bulls
to be found in "The Melody Of Youth: Z"

NRCIIARD
GLEANINGy
RAISING GRAPES FOR FAMILY
One of Our Finest Fruits, Being Both
PaIatable and Healthfui-vines
Cost but Little.

The grape is one of our finest fruits.
1t is both palatable and healthful. If
it is given any kind of chance it will
do at least fairly well almost any
where. Except in specially favorable
localities it is not to be recommend.
ed for growing on large scale for
market but for home use it deserves
to be grown on every farm.
An ample quantity of grapes for an
average family can be grown at very
small expense. Only a very limited
area of land will be required. The
vines cost but little and come into
bearing early. They are long lived
and their care takes but little time.
They should be obtained from re-
liable nurseryman and should not be
more than two years old. 1t is well
to plant them in rows, but where this
is not convenient the vines may be
scattered in various places. They can
be trained to stakes having three or
four cross arms, to wires or Stats
fastened to a line OF posts, or to ar
bors that are ornamental as we'll as
useful.
Vines often do well when allowed
to run on a fence or wall, and still
better wher trained on the south
side of building.
By planting vines OF early, medium
and late ripening varieties, including
one or two of the best keeping sorts,
fruit may be had during several
months. There should be plenty of
room on any farm for enough vines
to furnish all the grapes the family
would care to use, either as fresh
fruit, or for making grape juice, mar
malade, Jelly, preserves, or other ia
vorite preparations
The work of setting grapevines
must be deferred until spring, but this
does not mean that nothing can be
done about it until then. The selec-
ton OF varieties should be attended to
promptly and as many vines as will
be needed should be ordered not later
than midwinter.

The plant at the right in the illus

the same bushes unpruned, better

raspberry and blackberry bushes may
be done at any time after the leaves
have fallen. If could have my choice
as to the date would do the pruning
at the close of the winter. But those

CULTIVATION OF GRAPEvlNEs
Some Hoed Crop May Be Grown Be-
tween Plants for First Two Years
Good Roots Essential.

After grapevines have been planted
they should be well cultivated and
some hoed crop that will not shade the
young plants may be grown between
the plants for the first two years. Aft
er this the vines need all the land.
The best vines for planting are
strong one-year or two year-old plants
that have been grown from layers or
cuttings. and only those having good
root system should be used.

who have large plantations are obliged
to do the pruning when they have lei

recommend pruning any time during
winter.
Where the winters are severe. the
thermometer going 20 degrees below
zero or lower, the plants are bent down
and each bush held down closely to the
ground for protection. l would not
recommend pruning these bushes thus
protected until the winter is past, and
the bids are beginning to start
growth.

NORWAY.

The pure language reform move
ment Is playing havoc with old party
lines. This was exemplified most
strikingly the other day when the
storthing voted on the proposition to
establish a chair Of pure Norwegian
for the theological students at the uni
yersity. The Socialists have been in
the habit of indorsing the language re-
form. But on this occasion they voted
solidly against the necessary appropri-
alton on the ground that the language
reformers are tinctured with reaction
airy ideas. In other words, the Social
lists voted with the Conservatives. But
the two parties together mustered
only A votes. and the appropriation
was made by GA members voting in
favor Of it. II is supposed that the So
cialists and the Conservatives will
stick together on the language ques-
ton.
Bishop Hognestad has been permit
ted to reside at Voss. the hotbed of
the language reform movement. An
outsider cannot realize the importance
OF this permission. Bergen has always
been regarded as the logical residence
of the bishop Of the diocese Of Bergen.
The shifting means two things in par
ticular: The government wants to in
dorse the pure language movement,
and 1t also wants to emphasize the
importance of the farmers of the coun-
try as class. Bergen is the second
largest city in the country, having
population of about 10000, and many
of its inhabitants are apt to feel sore.

DEN MARK.

Forty-two Danish ships, valued at
$2,S00,000, the cargoes of which were
valued at 20.000.00O krone. have been
destroyed by submarines and mines
during the war. Eighty-seven men have
been killed. Danish ships, valued at
100000 krone, have been torpedoed
since the beginning of the new subma
rine warfare.
The Danish steamer Frederik VIII
arrived at New York without 81 sacks
OF mail with which she started from
Copenhagen, Christiania and Christian
sand. The mail was removed by the
British authorities when the steamer
stopped at Kirkwall for the customary
inspection.
The Scandinavian-American line
steamship United States has arrived at
Christiania, having left 1000 bags Of
parcel mail at Kirkwall by order Of
the British authorities there, says
Copenhagen dispatch. Only two bags
of parcel mail addressed to the Ameri-
can gunboat stationed at CONSTANT
nople were allowed to pass. The dis
patch adds that $4,000 boxes of Cali.
fornia fruit were also removed.
The annual report of the Scandina-
lvian-American steamship line for 1915
shows net profit for the year of $1O,-
100000. The unusual profits, attributed
to the high freight rates which have
prevailed since the outbreak of the
war, exceeded by 100000 the capital
stock. A dividend of % per cent was
declared after s4,O00,000 was placed in
reserve.
The Danish steamer Kasan, bound
from Liverpool for Copenhagen, was
captured in the Cattegat by large
German submarine. The submarine
placed a prize crew on board the YES
sci.
The present low exchange rate of
the German mark has led to. a queer
conflict between Denmark and Ger
many. When the town of Wyls on the
Island of Foehr improved its harbor I'M
1906 the Danish government furnished
the necessary funds. The small viii
lage was not able to return the money
and the government cancelled the in
terest. In 1886 an agreement was
reached under which the town was to
pay $4,000 in annual installments. The
payments have since been promptly
made, although the island came under
the German rule after the war of 1864.
There was never any trouble, but
when the treasurer of Wyk sent the
installment for 1856 to Copenhagen
recently he was informed by the Dan
ish finance minister that he would
have to send $24 more on account of
the depreciation of the mark. The
town claims that under existing treat
les the installments are to be paid in
German money and refuses to make
his supplementary payment, although
the Danish government insists on it.
