AIUS NATURE'S WORK
EFFECT OF ACETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.

rietmry T?r ThU N?w and U?antiful
Ill.mt???t.
^aaxperimcTits recently made at
)rur1l Vniverslty prove that the beau
p*. go I rays from the ga?. acetylene, are
in .-ffecttve as sunlight on the growth
nf ??lants. snd this may soon become a
itildect for a?rions consideration by all
progressive cultivators of the soil.
The remits of the experiments are
astonishing, inasmuch as they show
luslvely the great Increase of
growth attained by supplementing
lac Light of Nature" with "The Light
?f Acetylene" during the hours in
m Inch the plants would otherwise he
in darkness. For Instance, a certain
number of radish plants subjected to
??tylene light during the night grew
? o twice the actual weight of the same
number of radishes given daylight only,
other conditions being eipial. and
ijeas had blossomed and partially ma?
nured poda with the help of acetylene
gbt, while without the added light
not even buds were apparent.
Acetjleue Is slrendy taking Its place
as an illuminant for towns from a cen?
tral plant, for lighting houses, churches,
schools and isolated buildings of all
kinds, snd it is being used successfully
Tor many other purposes.
A striking and important feature of
acetylene is the ease and small expense
with which it can be made available
compared with the great advantages
derived from its use. The machine in
?*hlch trie g%SH? generated is easily in?
stalled.
Queer Proofs of Love.
Mme. Myriam Harry, the Parisian
novelist who hss traveled about the
world s good deal, tells what evi?
dences of affection are prized by men
and women in different countries. In
Jerusalem she once met a young Arab
woman who had not a tooth left in
her head. Mme. Harry's native ser?
vant ssid: "Lucky woman; her bus
band knocked all her teeth out. He
does love her." In Cochin China
Mme. Harry was told that there a
husband was not believed to love his
wife properly until he had made a
present to her of a coffln. In Galicia,
among the sect of masochists. a man
values his wife's affection by the de?
grees of suffering which she causes
him to endure. Mme. Harry there
once heard a betrothed youth pay to
his affianced bride: "If you really
loved me you would consent to bind
me and flog me with this whip." At
Stockholm one Of Mme. Harry's
friends is now suing her husband for
.livorce on the ground that "he does
not love her soulfullv."
A Chocolate Party.
A chocolate party is a new idea for
a Sunday school class or a church so
cial. The helpers serve hot chocolate
and cocoa with whipped cream, choc?
olate cake and chocolate ice cream.
Sell chocolate candles of different va?
rieties. It would be nice if they could
? make them at home. A very pretty
touchxcould be .viven if the girls who
wait on the tables would dress in the
costume of the chocolate girl who ap?
pears on the tins of chocolate In the
stores. The dress is simple?a full
skirt, a white kerchief folded over the
ahoulders, a full apron and a white
cap. The costumes need not be made
for the occasion, but may be devised
from tho clothes on hand, or, if you
prefer to make it. ch tap material may
be used, and the cut V so simple that
it will be little troub to make.
r<-V He Forgot the Deaths.
William R. Merriam was talking in
New York about the last census.
"All sorts of odd and interesting
ihings happen," he said.
"One of the collectors (old me how
he had visited a village, and how, on
the completion of his work, a crowd
of villagers had gathered around him,
anxious to know how much their pop?
ulation had Increased in the last tea
years.
"'It has increased." said the father
of a large family, 'about a hundred. I
suppose?'
"'No,' said the collector. 'It has
only increased six.'
" 'Oh, dear! There must he some
mistake,' said the father, slowly; i
have increased it more'n six myself.' "

CHANCED HUSBAND.
Wlf? Marte Wise Chance in Food.
Change of diet is the only way to
really euro slomneh and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
"My husband had dyspepsia when we
married and had suffered frota it
for several years. It was almost im?
possible ?to find anything lie could eat
without bad results.
"I thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee, and persuaded him to
discontinue if. He did so. and began to
drink Postum Food Coffee. The change
did him good from the beginning, hl^
digestion improved; lie suffered much
| less from his nervousness, and when
he added Grape-Nuts food to his diet
he was soon entirely cured.
"My friend, Mrs.-. of Vleks
burg (my former home), had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit hoin<-,
sonic mouths ago, I persuaded her to
use Grape-Nuts food. She was in de?
spair, and consented. She stuck to it
until it restored her health so com?
pletely that she is now the most enthu?
siastic (riend of (?rape-Nuts that I
. knew. She eats it with cream or
dry, just as it comes from the package
?keeps it in her room and cats It when
ever she feels like it.
"I began eating Grape Nuts food my?
self when my baby was two months
old, snd I don't know what I should
have done without it. My appetite was
gone, I was weak and nervous and af?
forded but very litt lo nourishment for
the child. The (?rape Nuts food, of
which I soon grew very fond, speedily
set all this right again, and the baby
grew :.v.;!thful. rosy and beautiful as a
mot lier could w.?>.i. He is two years
old now and eats Grape-Nuts food him?
self. I wish every tired young mother
knew of the good that (?rape Nuts
would do her "

Chloride of lime is an effective
bleach. The only difficulty lies in its
application by one not knowing its cor?

This is a bleach, and if made and used
according to directions it will remove

Quite the simplest way to wash lace
Is to make a soap lather by shredding
a quarter of a pound of soap into -i
quart of water. Allow this to simmer
over a slow fire until dissolved.
Put a little of this in a clean, wide
necked glass bottle. Tut in the lace
also aftet thoroughly shaking the dust
out of it. Then cork the bottle and
shake it well. As often as the latter
becomes dirty pour it off and add
fresh, shaking as before.
When it is clean, rinse first in warm
water and then in cold.
Have ready a thick piece of flannel
the size of the lace. Lay it on a clean
table, pall the lace gently into shape,
picking out all the little points and fas?
tening them each with a pin.
Above all, never iron or blue fine lace.
Ironing makes it shiny. Dining is crim?
inal, as the creamy tint of nee is its
most admired quality.

A reader sends us the following
method of doing the washing: At night
put all the white clothes to soak in
clear, soft water. The next morning
rub them lightly through the water In
which they have been soaked, with the
addition of a half a bar of sonp, which
has been sliced into water and heated
until dissolved, to each, tub of water.
Put on the boiler two-thirds full of
water and prepare as for boiling, the
usual way, with soap or washing pow?
der. Take about a quart of the soapy
water and put it where it Avili boil up,
and as soon as it boils add to it two
tableapoontttla of coal oil. and stir it
thoroughly, pouring the mixture into
the boiler of water and stirring it Well.
Into this put the cleanest elothes. let
boil as before. If more water is Bead?
ed till with soft water and I little more
soap. The clothes will Deed but little
nibbing, and will rinse out ?dean and
white, and BUTj be blued and hung in
the sunshine: reheat the boiled water,
and if more soap is needed add it
to the water, in which the colored
CiOthes will wasli out, nice and clean,
with but little rubbing. - The Com

The Critic and the Lady.
Talleyrand, the noted Frenchman,
possessed wit of so high an order that
it has stood well the test of time, and ?
his jokes are still good. The author !
of "Juniper Hall" gives two of his
sayings to Madame de Stael.
He was a great admirer of Madame
Recamier and Madame de Stael, the
one for her beauty, the other for her
wit. . Madame de Stael asked him one
day If he found himself with both of
them in the sea on a plank, and could
only save one, which it would be, to
which he replied:
"Ah! Madame de Stael knows so |
many things, doubtless she knows
how to swim."
When "Delphine" appeared. It was
said that Madame de Stael had de?
scribed herself as Delphine, and that
Talleyrand was the original of Ma?
dame de Vernon.
Meeting the authoress soon after?
ward, Talleyrand remarked. In his
most gentle tone of voice:
"I hear that both you and I appear
in your new book, but disguised as
women."?Montreal Herald.
The Patriot.
A resident of Ava, N. Y., was talk
ing ?bout the late Hiram cronk, the
last survivor of the war of 1812.
"At tho age of 100," said the Ava
man, "Mr. Cronk still had an alert
mind. Above all things he was a pa?
triot. He believed firmly in tho su?
premacy of our republic.
"An English traveler, out of curios?
ity, came to Ava to see Mr. Cronk one
day. The old patriot praised America
extravagantly and condemned Eng?
land as an outworn and dying nation.
"The Englishman ttocV this talk as
long as he could. Then he said, hotly:
" 'Suppose our superb fleet were to
land 25,000' British marines in New
York?what would you Yanks do
then?'
" Do?' said Mr. Cronk. 'Why, dern
It, our police would arrest them.' "?

A Lesson at the Primaries.
Mrs. Dobbs waited until dinner was
over and her husband lighted his pipe
before she handed over the note Wil?
lie brought from the teacher.
"My boy," said Dobbs, when he had
read It. "I understand from this that
you are excused from school until the
Board of Education has an opportunity
to consider your case."
"Yes, sir," answered Willie, who
had begun to whimper.
"Do you know what the Board of
Education is, my son?"
"No, sir."
Dobbs went Into the kitchen and got
a good stout piece of board. Then he
summoned his son, and for several
minutes he was busy with Willie.
"That, my son." he said, as he fin?
ished, "is the only hoard of education
we knew of when I was a lad."

KIDNEY TROUBLES
Increasing Among: Women, Bat

Of all the diseases known, with which
the female organism is afflicted, kidney
disease is the most fatal, and statist ici?
show that this disease is on the increase
among women.
Unleaa early and correct treatment Is

her. Lydia E. Pinkhain's Vegetable
Compound is the most efficient treat?
ment f*?r kidney troubles of women,
and is the only medicine especially
prepared for this purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling, in the
region of the kidneys or not ices a brick

For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink

Sawyer.
" I cannot express the terrible suffering I
liad to endure. A derangement of the female
organs develo|M*d nervous prostration and a
serious kidney trouble, The doctor attended
me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until
I was unable to do anything, and I made up
my mind I could not live. I finally decided
to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com?
pound as a last resort, and I am to-day a well
woman. I cannot praise it too highly, and I
tell every suffering woman about my case."
