ESSENTIALS FOR GROWING GOOD
VEGETABLES.

Nothing is more important in the
growing of good vegetables than to
have a fairly rich soil with which to
work. The soil that does not need
enriching to produce at it's best is
seldom found, and success comes in
proportion to the amount of fertiliz
ers and manures applied when all
other factors are given efficient at
tentiOn. Make the soil rich. pre-
pare the seed bed properly. use good
seed, keep down the weeds and sup
plement the natural supply of rain
fall with sprinkling when necessary
to secure good vegetables during the
coming season.

Heavy Money.

How to keep your money safe from
thieves is problem that was solved
by the inhabitants of Tap, in the Caro-
lire islands, when they devised cur
rency too heavy for burglars to carry
away. The money used by the natives
is in the form of huge wheels of stone,
weighing as much as 500 pounds and
roughly shaped in the form of grind
stone. A large hole in the center is a
feature of the Tap money. Even the
clam shell pennies are perforated. The
stones are used for large purchases
only. If an islander becomes wealthy
enough TO purchase pig he must part
with a 800 pound circular stone, but If
he Is required to deliver it for any dis
lance the pork Is well carncd.-Ameri.

Many q man has failed to guess an

reach his castle ahead of his foes.
There were no rc,cnforcements near ut
hand, and he knew that If an attempt
was made 70 storm his dcfenseS he
and his men Would be- dead before help

The enemy's forces advanced rapid

to reconnoiierg In their amazement.
they found the gates. doors and win
dows open and all the appearance OF
holiday celebration They rode hasI-
ly back To inform their master that the
foe was dancing and that bands were
playing music in the castle
Tie powerful enemy was too wise
man TO put his head into any such trap
as that The defenders OF the castle
must have some plan td slaughter his
forces by wholesale on they would
never invite him IN that way n
drew back TO safe distance and on
camped to await developments.
Soon the re-cnforcements for the cas-
tie came up behind. attacked him sud
denly and defeated him, while the gar
rison, which had risked all on It's STRAIT
