Peanuts for Consumptives.

A diet of peanuts is suggested as a
cure for consumption by DR.. Brewer
In the Journal of Hygiene. This seems
too simple TO be true, but Doctor Brew
er tells of two young women who had
grown sick of cod-liver oil and tonics
and who were treated by him with salt
ed peanuts-all they could eat-com-
bined with inhalations of vinegar.
zone would think this very indi,
gestible diet" he writes, "but they
craved them, and it has always been
my policy to find out just what nay pa
tients desire to eat, and unless it is toe
unreasonable, l humor them. Both
young ladies have become plump, and
after one years inhalation have ceased
coughing, and l pronounced them
cured.'
Peanuts are recommended also for
sleeplessneSs.

Unitarian Wedding Gifts.

Some of the wedding gifts that are
shown to visitors were so expensive
and seemingly so useless that 1 asked
about them. Some were in the form of
great fish, made of bright red crepe,
and some were ships of happiness fit
ted out with sails of gold brocade. As
/ had never seen these bright grOtes-
queries in japanese homes, l wondered
how they were used. The ship, with
its flowing sails, is entirely constructed
of precious silks and satins, not cut,
but simply basted together, SO that
when the delicate compliment of d
ship of happiness has served its pur-
pose as wedding decoration. it is I'M
basted and the fine crepe and brocaded
silk are made up into rich costume

SCENE OF NATURAL, BEAUTY
Quebec Resembles the Imaginative
Conception of an Artist

The impreSsiveneSS Of any bit of
scenery depends not on how large
it looks. Thus there are few persons
who would estimate the width of the
Grand canyon at more than tenth
of what it actually is. Niagara falls
when seen at Il distance, is not i'm
preSSive, and when YOU are close to
it You cannot get a complete view.
1t is for this reason that many of
the smaller bits of scenery really give
more pleasure to persons who have an
eye for natural beauty. Montmorency
falls, on the river of that name 4 few
miles from Quebec, is an excellent eX-
ample Of this fact. 1t consists of a
stream about 40 feet wide dropping
somewhat more than 2G0 feet over a
sheer cliff just above the iuncture of
the Montmorency and the st. Law
renee. This cliff forms part Of a high
~amphitheater of rock, its Jagged out.
lines crowned by forest of juniper
and spruce, and opening upon the wide
blue eXpanse Of the st. Lawrence
Above the falls the stream is known
as the Fairy river because of the weir(
beauty of it's dark waters, which vino
between sheer granite walls festoonct
with very old, gnarled trees. 1t seem,

SCENES IN A CHINESE INN
HomeIy Industry the Main Feature OF
Hostelry Interestingly Described
by American Traveller.

The building was Il long, One-StOried
mud hut, with matched roof. We en-
tered. Behold what the frontierSman
had created The long room was the
scene of homely industry. From the
center rafter hung big oil-lamp, she'd
ding its rays over q patriarchal family
as busy as I; hive of bets. BY the clay
stove sat the grandfather feeding the
fire with twigS. and tending a brood Of
children playing on a dirt floor backed
hard. swept clean. From one corner
came the merry whir OF grinding mill
stones, as blindfolded donkey walked
round and round, while woman in red
with Il wonderful headdresS gathered
up the heaps of yellow cornmeal that
oozed from the gray stones. More
women in red threw the bright meal
high in the air, winnowing it Of its
chaff; others leaned over clay mortars,
pounding condiments with stone pes
Ties.
Men were hurrying here and there
with tirewood, cooking for the travel
ers. One end of the room was re-
served for these wayfarerS, but the
kang at the other end was divided
into sections. From each rafter over
each section swung quaint little era
dies; in each cradle was a little brown
baby, each baby tended by q larger
child. Far away from the loud clamol

Garden Sanitation.

4" Any home vegetable garden, wketh
or II he large or small, requires much
thinking and planning, if it is to give
good results.
Sanitation in the garden is one of
the easiest and best WAYS of control
ling the insects and diseases. In the
fall clean up all dead vines and plants,
so rs to destroy any insects or disease
germs which may be attached 10 them.
Select n list Of the desired vcge-
tables adapted 10 Vermont climate and
decide upon the length and number Of
rows, basing judgment upon the rcla-
tive popularity in YOUR family Of the
different kinds. Grow the favorite
vegetables and try a few new sorts 20
add interest.
Take an evening oil and make a
garden ON paper. Aim to put in paral-
lei rows those plants Of similar cul-
tural requirements. For instance, rows
Of beets, turnips, parsuips and carrots
should be side by side. Make n row
of vine crops in hills; place early ma
turing vegetables like lettuce. rad
ishcs, etc, in adjoining rows, and leave
space for secdbed crops like tomatoes,
I cabbage and celery, which are TO be
planted late in Jane. This plan groups
+ the 40. 60, 100 aud leo days crops. and
/ lends convenience to the whole scheme
II is fascinating job to make an In
tcllieent and efficient garden plan.
Best Soil for Garden.
:" Allow plenty of space between the
rows; get good tested seed and plant
freely and thin early. Eventually, al
plants must be well spaced.
" \ sandy loan is the best soil fol

well drained, thoroughly pulverized, anC
very fertile Provide plant food il

The Agricultural Extension
Service Gives Hints on
Home Garden
NONE TOO EARLY
FOR MAKING PLANS
Man With Backyard Garden often Gets
More from 1t than Farmer with Plen-
~ Of Space-Thinking and Planning
Essential to Good Results.

The agricultural extension service of
the University Of Vermont has issued
the following bulletin on The Home
Vegetable Garden: ......
''Ju,t now when prices of all food
stuhs are climbing to unprecedented
heights, the problem Of making both
ends meet is becoming as hard to
solve in Vermont as elsewhere, espc-
ciallv for the family with ordinary
means.
''If we stop only moment to think
of the hot days Of next summer when
wc could practically live from n well
stocked vegetable garden, where we
can secure the vegetables required for
the day when the dew is still on and
later place them in the cellar or ice
box-Somc to be cooked for the mid
day meal others TO form the salad for
the evening meal-and If we could on
liz picture in our minds the food we
were to receive and the dollars to
be deducted from the grocer'S bills. in
addition to the pleasures derived from
working in the soil and seeing things
grow, we would get n new meaning Of
the galden. 1t is often true that the
man with the backyard garden with
very limited SPACE has a better one
and gets more from il than does the
farmer who has acres OF crops and
plenty OF space, due to the simple fact
that the latter begins work as soon
as the frost has gone in the spring and
/ has plan To follow. The farmer is
interested in his field crops first and
often does not pillow and plant his gar
/ den until very late-when the 'sprins
+ fever of his wife and children ha.
/ largely passed The result is a lat,
| garden with little family interest aat

DOLLAR A MINUTE
SINCE BIRTH Of CHRIST
Some Figures on ROckefelIer's
Wealth By Boston
Financier.

While Robert T.. Dow, over in
Brooklyn, who is editor of the
Brooklyn chronological Society, Is
trying to convice doubling public
that Adam took Eve as his second
wife and that she was a beautiful
blonde and a perfect 36, in Boston
a financial editor even in the midst
of a panicky market figures out that
IL Jesus Christ had saved one dollar
a minute from the time He came 20
earth, 1,916 years ago, he could not
match the wealth of John d. Rock
efeller today. Here is what the fl
nancial editor says:
John d. Rockefeller's wealth is
now estimated at substantially over
one billion dollars. 1t is a sum so
huge few people are able to grasp it.
Let 1t be assumed that Mr..
Rockefeller was born at the time of
Christ, 1,916 years ago next Mon
day. If il also be assumed that dur
ing these 1,916 years, less one week,
Mr.. Rockefeller earned one dollar
for every minute of each day, figur-
ing "a hours to the day, and seven
days to the week. Let it be further
assumed that Mr.. Rockefeller saved
every dollar that he earned during
these 1916 years. No allowance
need be made for any living expen-
ses.
"On this basis, working every
minute, day and night, for 1915
years, earning a dollar a minute and
saving every dollar earned, Mr..
Rockefeller would not have greater
wealth today than he is estimated
to have accumulated in his brief ac-
tual lifetime to date.
''In the 1916 years since the time
of the birth of Christ there have
been 1887 years, having 365 days
to the year. There are ,440 min
utes in each twenty-four-hour day.
Therefore during the 1857 years
having 365 days there have been
S07, $4,000 minutes.
"There have also been 479 leap
years since the time of Christ, and
in these 479 years there have been
52,432,1G0 minutes. This makes
rough total of LOGO, $50 min.
utes from the birth of Christ up to
last Monday. And it is estimated
that in Mr.. Rockefeller's wealth pile
there is a dollar for every one of
these minutes. ''-[New York Tele-
