out Of it by a woman who was almost
ruined by her husbands carelessness
and extravaganza Among other things
she says:
''If family that has been living
outside its income wants to start to
live inside, something more than good
resolve is necessary. Usually that
man and woman have got to form a
wholly new circle of friends. They
must leave those who are living out

MOST SENSITIVE NERVES.
The Two That Can Cause the Greatest
Agony of Pain.

The Two That Can Cause the Greatest
Agony of Pain.
Which part Of the human body is the
most sensitive to pain7
A sharp definition must be drawn
here between irritation and pain. Irri-
tation is not pain. but only frequent
cause of it. Thus a crumb lodged in
the larynx near the vocal cords pro-
duces violent Irritation and prolonged
coughing. which often result In actual
pain So, too, an insect or speck Of
dust in the eye sets up violent irrita-
ton and Inflammation. followed by
acute pain.
OF the surface Of the body the finger
tips and the end Of the tongue are
most sensitive. For instance, a burn
on the fingers is much more painful
than one on the back would be. while
one on the tongue would be more pain
full still.
Deep wounds are not painful, as a
rule, save as regards the surface in
jury.
Or pains not caused by external In
juries neuralgia of the ffth nerve, the
one which supplies the skin of the head
and face, is the most intense. 1t has
frequently driven people mad for the
time being, and sufferers have been
known to cut and even burn the flesh
in desperate attempts to relieve it.
The rupture Of the branches Of the
dental nerve in tooth drawing also
causes agony so intense that 1t has
been stated that no human being could
endure it for more than two seconds at
a time.-Pearson's Weekly.

WHAT A GARDEN DID.


Eight years ago twelve-year-old
girl In Cleveland started little garden
for vegetables and flowers. Flowers
she sold that year brought her S1s.h,
1t was a great sum, and she could
hardly wait until the next spring so
she could get at that gold mine Of hers
again. The next year she almost dou-
bled earnings. In the third year they
scared to S59.10. Each year there
after saw money roll In in increasing
amounts. Last year she came out with
$2S5.63. She was a capitalist and
could talk with the calm superiority Of
the class.

books, clothe myself, spend some for

count"
fine young woman. At twenty we
can imagine her. She has no complaint
in the world. Her garden is a pleas-
ant place, friendly to self reliant young
people. remunerative for labor and
pains, filled with the sweet odor Of
flowers. Sorrow may come to her some
day, but never the sense Of helpless
ness. The garden has taught her, as
school and her parents counsel could
not have. that always there is a way
by which the wolf can be kept from
the doorstep and by which despair IS
made an unknown quantity.-Toledo

PoLITENEsS IN PORTUGAL.
Ceremony With Which a Visitor IL
Greeted and Dismissed.

That Portuguese politeness is most
ceremonial and may proceed to an ex-
traordinary extent is indicated In the
case, say, Of a visit to a high dignltary.
The caller ascends magnificent
staircase. passes through u long suit Of
rooms to the apartment in which the
dignitary Is seated. He Is received
with many bows and smiles.
When the visit is concluded the caller
bows and prepares TO depart When
he reaches the door he must, according
to the invariable custom Of the coun-
try, make another salutatlon. He then
discovers that bis host is following
him and that the inclination Is re-
turned by one equally profound. When
the caller arrives at the door Of the
second apartment the dignitary Is
standing on the threshold Of the drst,
and the same ceremony is again passed
between them. When the third apart
ment is gained the caller observes that
his host is occupying the place the
caller has Just left in the second. The
same eivilities are then renewed, and
these polite reciprocations are contin-
ued until the caller has trayersed the
whole suit Of apartments.
At the balustrade the caller makes
low and as he suppOses a final saluta-
ton. But no; when he has reached the
first landing place the host is at the
top of the stairs; when the caller
stands On the second landing place his
host has descended to the first, and
upon each Of these occasions their
heads wag with increasing humility.
Finally the journey to the foot Of the
stairs Is accompllshed.-Los Angeles

COOKING POTATOES.
Waste That Comes With PAIRING and
Soaking Before Boiling.

PAIRING and cooking is the most waste
full method. and added to this some
cooks soak the potatoes in water after
they are pared. Starting to cook them
In cold water also adds to the amount
Of waste.
Twice as much nutritiye matter IL
lost il pairing is done before boiling as
there Is If it is done after boiling. not
figuring the waste In cutting away the
potato The juices Of the potato con
tain S. per cent of the protein and IS
per cent Of the ash. and these sub
stances are easily extracted when the
protection of the skin has been re-
moved.
A pared potato soaked from three to
FIVE hours loses about three times as
much of its mineral matter and seven
times as much Of its protein as one
that is pared and Immediately cooked.
In the most wasteful method of cook
ing. pairing, soaking and starting to
cook in cold water the loss Of protein
is 81 per cent and 80 per cent of ash.

Baking and steaming are the most
economical methods Of cooking pota-
toes when fuel is considered. Potatoes
cannot be baked well in a slow oven.-

HATCH CHICKENS EARLY.
A Tip on How to Obtain a More Steady
Supply Of Eggs.

supply OF Eggs.
Nature requires her subjects to take
an annual vacation, and the moulting
season. which begins In late summer,
is the holiday time for hens. The hens
stop laying and change their old feath-
er dress for new one, requiring three
or four months in the operation. When
the hens take this vacation new laid
eggs are scarce and remain scarce I'M
til the pullets Matched during the pre-
ceding spring begin to lay.
The remedy is very simple and is I'M
der the control of the poultryman.
The first step is to have chickens
hatched early, so that the pullets begin
to lay when the hens begin TO moult.
American breeds begin laying at about
seven months of age Leghorn pullets
begin when about six months old.
North of the Ohio river this means
that all Matching must be over by May
1 at the latest. The best plan is to
have the chickens coming at intervals
during March and April. The earliest
hatched pullets will, Of course, begin
to lay first If.any of them begin to
moali ,he'r places will be taken by the
later ones, aud ady supply of eggs
will be more certain.
The difficulty in the way of the prac-
teal application of this matter is that
so many poultry keepers are dependent
on hens for Matching. As long as we
have late Matched chickens We will
have late sitters. The poultry keeper
who wants to change from the late
Matching to early Matching must there
fore either get broody hens from some
one else or use an incubator. After he
has changed the dates" on his flock
he will have no trouble, especially with
the American breeds.--New York Sun.

quent that adenoids dull the expression
Of the eye, destroy the resonance Of
the voice and distOrt the facial express
sion so as to produce a blank, idiotic
stare. They hinder mental develop
ment by interfering with roper physi-
cal development. For that reason re
peaters" at school are frequently said
to be afflicted with adenoids.
The best time to remove adenoids is
when they are first recognizable to a
physician. II they remain longer they
do harm. They cause a child to have

eeptible TO diphtheria, scarlet fever,
measles and whooping cough. Further
more, If he gets any Of these diseases
they are likely to be severe with him
and leave him even worse afflicted.
Cold, fresh air breathed through the
nose is needed to prevent adenoid
growth. 1t is needed also to prevent
adenoids returning after an operation.
Fresh air taken in through the nose
prevents as well as cures adenoids.

The buffalo was the most numerous
and valuable animal of this country.
Its flesh was sun dried In great guam
titles and made excellent beef. The
bones. horns and sinews were all util-
lied, and the hide was made into
lodges, harness. canoes and winter
clothing. Had the buffalo been con
served in time instead Of being so
ruthlessly slaughtered It would today
have had an economic value to the
country difficult to oyerestimate.
