M. M. CORNER.

Have you ever observed how much
more enjoyment man gets out of a
trip on the cars than a woman does?
When man boards a car. glance
tells him whether a friend or ac-
quaintance is aboard; if not he soon
finds some man to talk to, while a
woman slips into a seat by herself if
possible, and prepares to spend lone
ly, perhaps tiresome journey.
In the seat ahead of me was a wom-
an and little boy with his face in the
window; just ahead of them was
another woman and a little boy also
facing the window. The children
looked like brothers, or at least cou-
sins; / wondered if the mothers were
sisters. l could not Judge as their
faces were turned from me. They
talked busily. occasionally glancing
toward the children listening to their
prattle and answering their questions.
| was pleased to see that the children
were allowed to kneel on the seats to
get better view, and that they were
not chided all the while as one too of
ten sees. Perhaps my face showed in
terest, for soon the nearest child
smiled in my direction, then the moth
er smiled and we soon fell to talking
She was good looking German farm
woman, whose face showed intelli-
gence and strength of character.
Here thought l, is a chance to get
some practical hints on gardening
from one who no doubt, has had actual
experience; and so it proved
We wished especially to know the
best way to plant the potatoes. eve
always saved the seed ends and the
eyes, said she, putting two pieces
in hill. The eyes need to be cut deep
down with a sharp knife, and kept
in a cool. dry, dark place. We keep
ours in the ice house. They will not
wilt and dry up; nor grow; but il
there are sprouts, do not rub them
off, but plant carefully; they will grow
right along
eve go by the sign said she, "but
all do not have the same sign"
The rattle of the train now drowned
our voices, but we caught the words
''in the feet" and lit is time right
now" And that night when we heard
it raining we thought those were wise
who had their potatoes in the ground

In its mental and moral processes,
aloof and mysterious. the cat has
been regarded since time immemorial
as possessing attributes suggesting the
supernatural. Thus one is not sur
prised to find it a favorite companion
of witches. The Japanese look upon
it in a similar light, and one of the
folklore traditions of Nippon relates
to a demon cat that returns to earth
once in each generation to kill men,
Der of one of the noble families of
that countryside Nebishima, whose
name Is associated with celebrated
pottery-in revenge for some ancient
slight to the feline tribe. 1t is theme
about which more than one Japanese
stage play has revolved.

GAME LAWS AMENDED

After six hours of debate the assem-
bly,, Thursday, sent to engrossment the
new game and fish law. There were
"a amendments, 40 of which were
adopted. Among the most important
provisions of the bill are:
Ten days open season for the shoot
ing of deer-November q to November
30-one deer may be shot by each in
dividual. This in effect repeats the
one buck law
Limiting the number of bass and
pike which may be caught in one day
by one individual to ten. The present
limit is fifteen.
Open season all year over the state
for croppies and silver bass.
License fee of 500 for trapping
with a graduated scale in addition to
the number of traps used. For 1000
traps the license and extra fee will
reach $4S5O.
Muskrat season closes April 10 in
IAO oouIHSlH part VI NJn0 state ana on
April 20 in the northern part. The
season opens November 1 all over the
state.
The present law permits set lines
across two-thirds of a stream. The
amended bill, as engrossed cuts down
the limit to one-half the stream and
provides that these lines must be 1000
feet apart in the stream. The present
law permits the use of five poles in
fishing. The bill, as engrossed, pro-
vides for a reduction to three poles,
but allows two hooks on all lines. 1t
removes the penalty for an unattended
pole.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they. cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutioual remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing. and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result. and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube restored
TO its normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
