The home of Edwin M. Hubbell was
the scene of very pretty home we'd

Banana Juice for Snake Bite.

In snake-infested countries banana
juice is being exploited for snakebite.
To test the efficiency of this simple
remedy, F. W. Fitzsimmons expert
mented with the venom of cobra, puff
adders and other serpents, trying the
banana juice upon animals bitten by
the snakes. In no case could he dis
cover that the alleged cure had any
beneficial effect.

and then much went to waste. We are
putting glass frame over the parsley
plants for the winters supply.
Three small eggplant bushes at
cents each have yielded, in all, 10 large
egg-plants, which we would buy from the
huckster for Is cents each.
From three pepper-plants of the small
variety, we have picked four quarts of
peppers. Two of these we picked for the
winter, and the other two quarts we ate
as they ripened. Peppers sell for Is cents
a quart in the New York market. Our
plants cost us cents each.
Ten cents worth of cucumber seed was
more than we could use in our small
space; but from this plot, after picking
four quarts of cucumbers, we estimate
that we ate during the season about so
cents worth, saving about $1.5O on GU
cumbers. The soil was too rich for the
cucumbers; but we will profit by our ex-
perience next season.
Below is table giving very close
estimate of the saving we accomplished:

and got 10 punches of beets, of size
retailing in the market at 5 cents a
bunch. AS these really were all ready to
eat within a period of four weeks, we
grew little tired of them even with
changing from buttered beets to beet
salad; SO we picked three quarts for the
winter, saving so cents extra by not buy
ing any canned beets.
A 2O-cent rhubarb root planted in the
early spring produced 80 cents worth of
rhubarb at the regular market price. We
have transplanted the roots to the cellar
for the winter to yield still further crop.
A dozen parsley plants for Is cents
have grown in such profusion that we not
only have had great deal more than we
could use, but all our neighbor could use,

Central. Turning to customer, he remarked:
II don't suppose that stock will be SO valuable
after the Supreme Court decision is handed down."
The customer began excitedy to question him
to what he knew, and after satisfying himself
that he had picked up tip he could rely on, he
began to sell his large Illinois Central holdings.
There is another angle to this story. One morn
purported to be the Supreme Court opinion in the
Illinois Central case and it in the roads favor.
As it out in due course the text of the opinion
was bona tide, but it was only dissenting opinion.
The correspondent for one of the Chicago papers
saw the report in the New York paper. He learned
that Associate Justice Field would probably read
the decision So he went up to Justice Fields
house on some pretext and remarked to him:
al see one of the New York papers has the full
text of the decision in which the Illinois Central
wins that lake-front case"
Field was an impusive man. Before he realized
what he was saying, he exclaimed:
"Does the paper say that? WE'LL they're going
to be beautifully fooled!"
So the correspondent felt justified in announcing
in his paper that the railroad would lose. Thus
the people of Chicago knew what the decision
would be some days before it was handed down.
But, in all the century and more of the Supreme
Courts existence, no justice has ever turned to his
profit his knowledge of what the court was to
decide Most of the justices, in spite of their daily
opportunities to profit, have died very poor men.
Only once or twice has a private secretary proved
unworthy of his trust The Supreme Court-the
most powerful and most respected tribunal in the
world-does not leak Its record is glorious
mentary on the essential goodness of human nature.
1t is proof that the right kind of men, intrusted
with the highest human responsibility, will stand
out against any temptation that can be brought to
bear upon them.

30 quarts of tomatoes when tomatoes
averaged 10 cents quart during the
summer, varying from to Is cents a
quart
A Scent paper of radish seed was more
than we required to produce radishes in
such abundance that we had all we could
eat, and gave away great many.
A 10-cent package of onion sets of the
small white variety gave us, at accurate
calculating, 80 cents worth of young
onions, much earlier in the season than
the hucksters got around with theirs. The
tops we did not estimate on, though we used
them constantly for seasoning, for frying
with steak and for scrambling with eggs.

planted in small trenches in the garden

What My Garden Cost And What 1t Paid

nUR homl Being in the city, our gar
den plot is of very small dimensions,
measuring in all about eighty square
feet. When we moved into the house we
found the back yard cluttered up with va
rious kinds of debris, though with an excel
lent growth of grass and few neglected
pots and boxes with the flowers struggling
hard for existence. But the yard is sunny
from early morning until about two in the
afternoon. The strength of the grass in
dicating the rich soil underneath, we
spaded it under to make humus before
we were ready to plant. All the extra
fertilizer we needed for the entire summer
was 25-cent can of chemical fertilizer.
String-beans were planted to climb up
clothes-poles and dead but bushy cherry
tree that stood in corner of the yard.
In all, we realized eight quarts of string
beans at time when beans were selling
at 10 cents quart. The seed beans cost us
10 cents. The first planting of lettuce
consisted of SO heads when lettuce in the
market was IL cents head. Lettuce we
found very easy to raise, after taking care to
make this part Of the garden plot particu-
larly rich, and to keep it slightly damp all

wise it would have gone to seed before
heading. The second sowing of lettuce,
made later in the season when the sun
was very hot, we transplanted to the
spaces between the tomato plants so that
it might be shaded. This second plant
ing yielded us 20 heads of lettuce-and
lettuce was selling then at cents head.
All the lettuce was produced from 10
cent package of seed.
The young tomato plants we bought
for 10 cents dozen, and out of the Is
plants set out Is lived and fourished.
From these Is plants we had all the to-
matoes we could use for the summer for
our family of five, and canned 10 quarts
at no expense except the gas used for
cooking them. As we ate tomato salad
two and three times week, we estimated
that we made clear profit on at least

Aside from a clear profit of at least
Sl5.57, we had the immense benefit of
the outdoor life necessitated by the work
in the garden. The work was pleasure,
and we realize fully how much it meant
to our health, though we gave only twenty
minutes day, on an average, after the
garden was planted. We thought our
profit very good, considering what
small plot we had to work with.

nNE of the simplest ways imaginable to make
\ a large sum of money without the annoyance
Of long Office hours perspiration, or brain-fag
would be to find out few hours in advance what
the United States Supreme Court is going to decide
in case affecting stock values. The obstacle to
the carrying out of this plan is the fact that it is
impossible to learn such decision in advance.
In all the years the Supreme Court has been in
operation, not more than three or four decisions
have ever got out through leak. This indicates,
for one thing, that the young men who have served
secretaries to the nine justices have been persons
of high degree of fidelity 1t also proves the
loyalty of the printing establishment where the
Supreme Court decisions are placed in type before
making them public. This work is not done at
the government printing Office, but at private
plant-and at the same plant ever since printed
tiously is the work handled that never once has
suspicion been directed against this print-shop.
One Case Where a Decision Got Out
ONE leak, back in the Cleveland administration,
occurred in the case of the city of Chicago
against the Illinois Central Railroad to determine the
ownership of certain valuable lake-front property.
The story of that decision is interesting.
Employed in Washington stock brokers' Office
in that day was young man whose job was to write
the stock quotations on the blackboard. He had
a friend who was secretary to one of the Supreme
Court justices. One night the two were going out
together, and the secretary was late in keeping his
appointment. He explained that he kept late
doing some work on certain Supreme Court decis-
ions soon to be handed down. This led to CONVEX
sation about the cases. and the secretary remarked
that the city of Chicago would win its suit.
The next day, when the other young man was
writing quotations, he came to the figures Illinois

A tragedy was discovered Friday

the destroyer Of his life-in fact the
murderer-was Mr.. Cusk. The latter
is in close confinement and his fate Is
as yet undecided.
1t has been noticed for some time
that some of the fish in this tank. sort
of a happy family tank, containing
the cusk, white and yellow perch, sun
fish, nornpouts, chubs, etc. have been
disappearing. A close watch was kept
but no clue could be found. so that
the matter became genuine mys-
terry. Watch was even kept in the
night, but no outsider was found net
