Rare Sugar Found in Honey.

Investigation Of certain stores Of
crystallized honey found in various
places in Pennsylvania where the bees
had died from starvation led to the
discovery of quantity of rare sugar,
known as melezitose, which has been
extracted and purified and placed at
the disposal Of the bureau Of chem
istry. The weekly news letter of the
department of agriculture says that
melezitose is one Of the rarest sugars.
Minute quantities of it have been avail
able to men of science for many years,

His Disturbed Repose.

The clock struck the hour Of three.
The wife rose on one elbow and lis

"John," she whispered, "there's a
burglar downstairs"
"The deuce there is" exclaimed
John, jumping out of bed. "I'll show
him."
He crept downstairs. There was the
sound Of a crash, a revolver shot and
the sullen thud of men engaged in
mortal combat. Then window
smashed and all was still. The terri
fed wife turned ON the light and hur-
ried into the hall.

If the garden is known to have been
weedy last season, the proverbial
ounce of prevention may be exercised
by scattering thinly over it, just be-
fore setting out the plants, poisoned
bait. This Is prepared by mixing thor
oughly a quart Of dry bran with four
or five tablespoonfuls of white arsen-
ic or Paris green. It is then made into
a wet mash by the addition of quart
or more of water, into which has been
stirred half cupful Of cheap strip or
molasses 1t may be scattered thin
ly over the field a day or two before
planting, or will serve as protection
to the newly set plants if a little Is
sprinkled around the roots after wet
ting them down. Better results are
secured by putting out poison after
sunset. since cutworms begin to feed
about dusk.
Poison Is Dangerous.
Care should be taken that this bait
Is scattered thinly, as 1t might be dan
gerous to children or domestic ami
mails.

tables may be protected by surround

DON'T WHINE IN SICK ROOM
Remember to Carry Cheer, Not SYM
pathy to Those Who Are Tenn

Every one is called upon now and
then to visit the sick room. Condi-
lions surrounding the bedside vista
lions present a wide variation. There
is one rule that holds good under all
conditions, and that is to carry cheer

smile. If the patients are able talk
to them of what is going on outside.
Help them to forget themselves. A
man who for over twenty years had
been paralyzed, was visited By a
friend who was profuse in expressing
his sympathy and regret at the sick
mans helplessness. AS he was about
to leave, the afflicted man said, Come
again, won't you, but when you do
please forget to tell me, that you are
sorry for me as every one tells me that.
I've heard it every day for twenty
years. Help me to forget it. Bring
me q breath of the outside world"

Examine clover and grass seed with

the lot.
Do not neglect the fences till plant

matter to spare the time required to
repair them.

Another good way to save manure,

feed-lot, preferably under a shed roof.
Where the farmer cannot afford a

may be made to- serve the purpose
