"I am glad to bear testimony to The

efficiency and health' that have cahie to
me from adopting Grap?^uts^oo? as
one of my articles of diet^g**
"For several years I was much dis
tressed during the early part of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast,
usually consisting of oatmeal, milk and
eggs, seemed to lum sour and failed
to digest. After dinner the headache
and other symptoms following the
breakfast would wear away, only to re
turn, however, next morning..
"Having beard of Grape-Nuts food, I
finally concluded to give it a fair tria!.
I quit thc use of oatmeal-and eggs, and
made my breakfasts of Grape-Nuts,
cream, toast and Postum. The result
?was surprising in improved-health and

Kerosene Emulsion.
This emulsion destroys plant lice,
squash bugs, leaf hoppers, aphis, bark
lice, chinch bugs, etc., prepared as
follows: Dissolve one-half pound of
the best whale oil soap in four pints
of water boiling. When the soap is
all dissolved remove from the fire and
add eight flints of kerosene, agitating
the whole briskly until a stable mix
ture is obtained. This is best done
by using the force pump and pump
ing the mixture with force against
the vessel that contains it. The
strength ordinarily used is prepared
by diluting one part of the Emulsion
in ten or twelve parts of water. In
making Kerosene Emulsion only whale
oil soap should be used-the common
soap will not answer the purpose.
The whale oil soap . costs only a few
cents a pound.-Indiana Farmer.
Dry Feed for Chicks.
One of the best possible rations for
a chick, whether reared under ben or
in brooder, is what we call dry ration.
It is the nearest approach to the nat
ural diet of a fowl possible to attain.
This method calls for all dry food,
such-as rolled wheat and oats, small
broken corn, rice or grain of any
kind, small seeds and beef scraps
mixed; to this should be ?clded small
grit of some kind. The beef scrap
should be of good quality, that has
been properly prepared and ; nicely
ground. This Kidd of food can be
greatly improved by the addition of
some well-broken peas and beans, and
a little properly prepared clover. The
peas,' beans and clover furnish the
vegetable and green food, the rest
the grain seed and the animal portion
of their diet, giving them a most per
fectly balanced ration. Should it be
preferred to add to this a mixed food,
it ; should be thoroughly scalded. If
cooked or baked, so much the better,
for this takes away the unnaturalness
of the food. ?ut little trouble from
feeding is experienced when this
method is followed.-N. G. Temple, in
Massachusetts Ploughman.
Gooseberries and Currants.
The Downing gooseberry pays mc
well for market, being hardy and pro
lific. Taking one season with another,
;att.acre of gooseberries sells for about
$200. ' Among currants, the Fay is a
superior variety-large, prolific and a
good keeper.-John W. Page.
Currants are easily grown, not re
quiring especially good cultivation,
and doing well even in the shade of
orchard trees, but good care and
plenty of fertilizer will pay. My fav
orite variety is the Red Cross.-E. E.
Laurence.
Gooseberries are a profitable crop
with me, selling at about $J.DO per
bushel, wholesale. Currants also pay
well, bringing an average of $2.50 per
bushel. Both fruits are subject to at
tacks of the currant worm, which
strips the foliage', but wc fight them
successfully by using a tablespoonful
of paris green to a quart of slaked
lime sifted on the plants while the
dew is on and repeating the opera
tion each week during the early part
of thc season. I grow the Houghton
gooseberry and the Red, Dutch, Vic
toria and Fay currants. The cherry
currant-with me is not productive
enough.-J. B. Johnston, in American
Cultivator.
' Fish for Poultry. v ?
In preparing fish for fowls we pre
fer to chop them up raw, add a very
little salt and pepper and feed in small
quantities in connection with grain
and vegetables; but for young chicks
It is advisable to boll before feeding
and simply open the . fish down the
line of the back bone, leaving to the
chicks the rest of the task. This food
should be given to layers sparingly,
or wc may perceive a fishy smell about
the eggs, especially if the fish is fed
raw. All who can will do well to try
this diet for their flocks, and note its
effect on egg production. We have
always marked a decided^ncrease in
the rate of laying following an allow
ance of fish fed in moderate quanti

?ood Grafting Wax.
four parts (ounces or pounds)
/ax two parts, tallow one part.
Melt together slowly in an iron ves
sel, stirring with a stick and taking
care that there is no danger of burn
ing. In about 20 minutes or so, when
well mixed, pour out a portion into a
vessel of cold water. This in a min
ute or so will be cool enough to take
up and work with the hands, pulling
it like taffy. The hands must have
been slightly greased with tallow, to
prevent the wax from sticking to
them. When the wax has been pulled
enough until it becomes light-colored,
it may bc .nade into rolls or balls,
and put into another vessel of cold
water to harden; and then laid away
until required for use.
Other portions of the melted wax
may be poured into the first vessel of
cold water from time to time, and
treated as before until all is used up.
In using this wax in the orchard, if
the day is cold it will need to lie in
warm water (when not in use) in or
der to have it of the proper consis
tency for working well; and in warm
weather it may need to be kept lying
in cold water for the same purpose.
This wax has been used for many
years and it answers the purpose per
fectly; never cracking and falling off
the graft in . the coldest weather or
melting and running down the stock
in summer.-Southern Fruit Grower.
Muskmelon Culture.
Last season we had very good suc
cess in growing muskmelons, both for
home use .and for market. The
ground, a black loam, was plowed
rather early and put in good condi
tion by the use of the drag and har
rop. ' In the spring a generous appli
cation of barnyard manure was spread
upon the ground and turned under.
As soon as the danger of frost was
over we planted the seeds in hills, in
rows about 3 1-2 feet apart, and the
hills about seven feet in the rows. As
soon as they were through the ground
we wen* over the plants with salt
petre water, to help drive the little
striped bugs away. I think it acted
as a fertilizer, for the plants made a
very rapid growth afterwards. After
an interval of a few days, a second
application was made. We used a
large tablespoonful to a bucket of
water.
The plants received frequent culti
vation until they commenced vining
and setting melons. The patch was
kept free from weeds and the hills
thinned, leaving only the strongest
plants.
The dry weather during July made
the melons smaller than they would
have been if plenty of moisture had
been available. Half of our patch was
Rocky Fords cantalopes and the re
mainder was several other varieties,
lt pays to have rich soil and give
thorough cultivation in growing mel
ons.-C. B., in Indiana Farmer,
Yes, Sow Rape for the Pigs.
In answer to two inquiries about
the value of rape pasture for pigs, we
reproduce again the following from
the Wisconsin Experiment Station;
Read the experience carefully.
1. That with pigs from four to ten
months old, representing the various
breeds of swine, an acre of rape, when
properly grown, has a feeding value,
when combined with a ration of corn
and shorts, equivalent to 2436 pounds
of mixture of these grain feeds and a
money value of 519.49 per acre.
2. That rape is a better green feed
for growing pigs than good clover pas
ture, the pigs fed upon the rape hav
ing made on thc average 100 pounds
of gain on 33.5 pounds less grain than
was required by the pigs fed upon
clover pasture.
. 3. That pigs are more thrifty, have
better appetites and make correspond
ingly greater gains when supplied with
rape pasture in conjunction with their
grain feed than when fed on grain
alone.
4. That a- plant of Dwarf Essex
forage rape, when planted in drills 30
inches apart, early in May, will yield
three good crops of pasture forage in
a favorable season.
5. That rape is the most satisfac
tory and cheapest green feed for swine
that we have fed.
6. That every feeder of hogs should
plant each spring a small field of rape
adjoining his yard, and ..provide him
self with a few rods of movable fence,
to properly feed thc rape to brood
sows and young pigs.
7. That rape should be sown for
this purpose in drills 30 inches apart
to facilitate the stirring of the ground
and cultivation after each successive
growth has been eaten off.
8. The hogs should not be turned
upon a rape pasture until the plants
are at least twelve to fourteen inches
high, and that they should be pre
vented from rooting while in the rape
field.
9. That rape is not a satisfactory
feed when fed alone, when it is de
sired to have any live weigh gain
made in hogs, though it has been
found that they will just about main
tain themselves without loss of weight
on this feed alone.-Indiana Farmer.
LACK OF SELF CONTROL.
Health and Happiness a Matter of Our
Will Power.
It is lack of control that sends most
of us into conditions of nervous
whoops and hysterical fussbudgets. It
is lack of control that causes us to
speak harshly to the cook when calmer
words would do twice as well. It is
lack of control that makes us unjust,
quick-tempered, uncharitable and vin
dictive. It is lack of control that pro
duces about nine-tenths of the head
aches from which nervous women suf
fer.
You hear every day "I worry so, it
makes me" ill," or "I am so ill most of
the time, and'I just can't help worry
ing."
There you are. The sick mind brings
the sick body. The sick body creates
the sick mind. Remember that the hu
man body has a telephone system.
Whenever your mind gets into a tur
moil the whole neighborhood of nerves
knows all about it. The stomach
sulks. Every part of the digestive
apparatus takes a vacation. ^

in lim? with physical beautifying. The
oUr?r course embraces mental beauti
'Tylng.
We all should realize that every
thing is ? matter of the mind. Observe
the woman who is madly in love with
her husband. Several years later she
isn't. The man, no doubt, is the same
as lie was when sshe loved him. And
the change? It is simple. At first her
mind saw only his splendidness, his
virtues and goodness. After a time
it discovered a few faults. She magni
fied them. In doing this she lost sight
of his virtues. His goodness and his
faults were as she thought them. Ev
erything was the product of her own
brain-so far as she was concerned.
She might just as weel have continued
to have thought him adorable. Then
Cupid wouldn't have been told to get
another lodging place-poor dear.
Exchange.
Fortunes in Waiting.
In spite of the enormous inroads
made on this earth's great
store of wealth, diamonds, gold, oil,
gas, coal, iron and other materials,
recent investigations have brought to
light the interesting fact that treas
ure fields containing fabulous wealth
still remain intact.
Investigations have proved, for in
stance, that huge areas of the floor
of the Pacific are strewn thick with
immense deposits of nodules of pure
manganese. Invent a practicable and
economical method of recovering it,
and the individual who does so will at
once become rich beyond the dreams
of avarice.
The most crying need of today is a
substitute for para rubber. It is cer
tain to be discovered sooner or later.
Malleable glass was manufactured
and used by the Romans nearly two
thousand years ago. But the secret
has been lost. It. seems odd that no
one in this age of mechanical progress
has been able to rediscover the meth
od of manufacturing a tough and un
breakable glass. Whoever succeeds in
doing so and making the discovery
economically useful will reap a great
reward.

Fatal Affray.
Greenville.. Special.--As a result of
an attack made upon Special Officer Eli
Pittman bj' Newmen Burns and George
Rigdon Sunday night at midnight,
Burns is dead and the officer is painful
ly wounded. The killing occurred' in
the American Spinning Company's
village, on tha Buncombe road, oppo
site the Reuben Smith residence.
Several men standing nearby rushed
to the officer's aid and dragged Rig
don off. Burns fell unconscious and
died in 30 minutes. Drs. Wright and
Earle were called and gave the officer's
wounds attention. The wounds, while
painful, are not dangerous. His upper
lip was laid open and several gashes
were cut across the back of the head'-'
Officer Pittman is a regular deputized
officer, and in attempting to arrest
Burns and Rigdon the two men made
a murderous assault upon him, Rig
don seizing and holding the officer,
while Burns slashed him with a knife
about the head and face. The officer,
by a superhuman effort, freed his right
arm and seizing his pistol, fired three
Shots at Burns, two of which to?k ef
fect, one in the center of the throat,
the other on the side of the neck,
severing the juglar vein. Rigdon was
lodged in jail and Officer Mttman. after
his wounds were dressed, came to the
city and sarreudered to the sheriff.
The men cursed the officer and the at
tack was un wan-anted, so the witnesses
state. Rigdon Is known to be a bad
character.
Monument to General Boynton.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Special.-At a
meeting here it was decided that a
handsome monument should be erected
in honor of the late General Henry V.
Boynton. The place for its location will
be decided later. The monument will
probably cost in tho neighborhood of
$20,000 and subscriptions will be so
licited from all parts of the country in
order to make it national in scope.
Street Cars Collide.
Columbia, Special.-Three passen
gers, two women and a child, were in

afternoon between street cars on the
herid of the union station line at the
corner of Main and Pendellon streets.
All escaped serious injury and- the
carr; wove not bad:y damaged, because
of the ?nick application of the ? air

by the suddenness cf Ibo atop. For

About Tablecloths.
Linen tablecloths keep white much
better if instead of being washed with
the other clothes they arc rubbed
through, scalded and put into the
sudsing water before other pieces.
Linen irons more easily if well shak
en free of wrinkles before being hung
on thc line.
An Excellent Washing Fiuid.
The best and most harmless wash
ing fluid can bc made as follows:
1 ball of potash, 1 oz. salts of artar,
1 oz. ammonia. Crush thc rosin off
the potash, then take the ball and the
salts of tartar and put in stone jar
with 1 gal. of water. Let stand a day,
then strain, and put in gallon jug
with the ammonia, corking tightly. To
use, add 1 spoonfu- to each bucket
of water used in boiling clothes. This
saves rubbing-A. S. in Indiana
Farmer.
When Sheets Wear Out.
Sheets often get badly worn in
the centre before they show any signs
of wear at the sides. Careful house
keepers often "turn" such sheets
when, they arc made of double width
goods, simply tear''them down thc
centre, hem the edges with a narrow
handkerchief hem and sew the outer
selvages together. A carefully
turned" sheet lasts more than twice
as long as a sheet that is left to wear
itself out as it was first made. It
seems like folly, however, to "turn"
towels and other similar articles, as
over-particular housewives so often
suggest. Except for the woman who
has little else to do it is a waste of
time.
Flatirons.
The flatirons must always bo per
fectly clean, and it ls best to scour
them each time they are used; by do
ing it thus frequently they arc kept
clean with very little work, while if
neglected they aro constantly doing
poor work, soiling the clean clothes,
and a ?long scouring when they are
cleaned. After they are washed and
scoured each week, place on the stove
-to dry thoroughly and then slip each
one into a little bag made with draw
strings for thc purpose, or, at least,
slip each one into au empty paper bag
to keep clean from dust till they are
used again. A rag dipped in kero
sene and salt is excellent for smooth
ing the bottom of an iron; or sprinkle
some salt between layers of waxed
paper like that used for lining crack
or boxes, which should be saved Xor
the purpose.-American Cultivator.
Attractive Book Rack.
/No room looks qr/ite comfortable
Without books. If a bookcase or shelf
?is; not desirable at least have a book
jake on the table to iaold half a dozen
volumes. One can be had easily.
Three pieces of wood are needed.* To
make a good-sized rack the longest
may be two feet in length, six inches
in width and an inch thick. Thc end
"pieces, which are to be nailed upright
-are the same width and thickness and
-six4Inches long. They may be round
ed or finished at the top in any way
'"desired.
? Tapestry, cretonne, chintz, satin,
; damask or leather may be used to
cover the wood, whichever will best
match the furnishings of the room. A
pretty rack is covered with scarlet
chintz in Japanese pattern and lias
pasted on thc outside of each end a
Japanese figure in relief, such as one
<6uys at oriental shops.
Covered with dainty chintz and

Asparagus Soup-Cover one bundle
of asparagus with one quart of water,
boil for five minutes ?.nd drain off the

' Southern Fried Chicken-The chick
en must bc tender; cut in pieces for
serving; roll in flour and dredge
slightly with salt and pepper. Have
some deep fat hot in a kettle, as for
frying doughnuts; drop in the pieces
of chicken, a few at a time, and
fry until delicate brown. Drain on
paper and serve with a cream sauce
poured over, and a few slices of crisp
bacon for garnish. Fry these four or
five, slices of bacon carefully, so that
they curl and to do this they must be
cut as thin as paper. To the bacon
fat add one cup of thin cream and two
level tablespoons of flour stirred in a
little milk. Cook five minutes and
pour over the chicken.
Contented in Spain.
And that is a charming feature of
Spain-this fine capacity to imagine
yourself the centre of the earth for the
time being and yet not be offensive.
You meet a man on a donkey in the
interior and get to talking with him,
and soon you learn that ho has the
finest donkey of the province, and so
(far from envying any man he it is
who is satisfied that he is exciting the
admiration if not the envy of his
neighbors. If I met the same sort of
an outfit in the mountains of Colorado
or Nevada the cavalier would be sure
to hold his burro in contempt, and
would talk of the fine horse he meant
to have when his mind had been de
veloped. We Americans preach con
tentment, but we despise the people
who are contented. The true Spaniard
is' thoroughly contented.-National

WET EYESIGHT FAILS
INFERIOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FRE
QUENTLY THE CAUSE.
Illuminant* of tho Vast, One and All,
ITa.vo Serions Defects-Acetylene Ga?,
With Its Clear, Unwavering, Yet Soft
riama Cannot Hnrt the Byes.
Nevi' York, June 20-No one can go
into our schools or meet a group of
children on the street without noticing
how large a number of them wear
''spectacles. Tho proportion seems to
increase yearly, and there are many
more who ought to wear glasses. The
experience of oue teacher might be du
plicated by Hie score. She knew Alice
was inattentive aud she thought she
was unusually stupid. She said so
to the principal and sent a note to
the mother, requesting that the child
bo helped at home if she wished her
to keep lip with her class. One day
after a blackboard explanation, the
1 cacher called upon the child and fouud
that she had not seen what had been
written. She was kept after school
and by dint of much sympathetic ques
tioning Miss C. found that Alice had
never been able to seo what was put
on tho board and that ber head had
ached so often and so bard that she
frequently failed to hear what was
said.
Such a condition may bo caused by
lack of proper food, but in our Ameri
can homes it is usually due to thc poor
quality of tho artificial light. The yel
low, insufficient light of tho ordinary
kerosene lamp, with its smoky chim
ney, is about as bad for the eyes'.is
can be imagined. The flickering light
from a coal gas jet is but little better,
and even the electric light, brilliant
as it usually is, has an unsteadiness
due lo variations in power, and a .^nre j
peculiarly trying to tho delicate nerves
of sight. Tho comparatively new il
luminant acetylene gas produces as
nearly perfect an artificial light as has
yet been found. It gives a clear white,
unwavering light, very brilliant, yet
perfectly soft, and so nearly like thc
rays of the sun that oven* colors ap
pear as in daylight.
Fortunately, acetylene is very easily
and cheaply produced, and the simple
apparatus necessary can be purchased
aud installed in any home at a very
moderate cost, and thc acetylene can
be piped lo convenient points in the
house where a light is needed. It is
then lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene is rapidly coining Jnto
common use in homes, churches,
schools and institutions of all kinds,
and it is reasonable to expect that as
its uso in the homo increases, there
will bo fewer defective eyes, particu
larly among children. Poor eyesight
and tko many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use of this new illuminant.
SAVORY BUTTER.
Savory butter is made by using
some desired savory ingredient in
fresh butter. You buy either the un
salted butter or wash from the salt
ed butter all the salt possible as when
you are making some kinds of past?,
and then you rub into it with a silver
knife or spoon such essence or flavor
ing as you like. Anchovy essence,
Worcestershire sauce, onion juice,
chopped Spanish peppsr or parsley, or
any one of a hundred things. Then
this butter is used for spreading
bread for -sandwiches or for putting
on some kinds of hot meat or fish.

"For twenty five years I suffered agony

consulted the most able doctors far and

make you irritable; you car t sleep,
you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen
erative organs in women is so close
that nino-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some derangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability. Spirits easily affected, sp
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps. Pain :n the ovaries and
between the shoulders. Loss of voice;
nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry
at the least provocation. All this points
to nervous prostration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surety as Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. M. E. Shotwell, of 103 Flatbush
Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes:
" I cannot express the wonderful relief I
have experienced by talcing Lydia E. Pink
ham's \ egetablc Compound. I suffered for
a long time with nervous prostration, back
ache, headache, loss of appetite. I could
not sleep and would walk tho floor almost
every night.
H ? had three doctors and got no better, and
life was A burden. I waB advised to try
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and it has worked wonders for mo.
" I am a well woman, my nervousness is all
gone and ray friends say I look ton years
younger."
Will not the volumes of letters from
women made strong by Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound convince
all women of its virtues? Surely you
cannot wish to remain sick and weak
hud discouraged, exhausted each day,
when you can be as easily cured as
other Women.
