\o have a talk with you. "
"All right, my dear," responded
Mr. Carter.
"I want to begin our housekeeping
right," continued the lady. "From a
hygienic standpoint, I mean. Of
course, at the hotels Ave could uot help
oo'rselves, but in our own house we
can live as we please. " .
"Well, we will," answered Mr.
Carter. "The plumbing is exposed,
the ventilation is all right, and every
thing in the house is according to the
most hygienic standard. There is no
reason why we should not live right"
-Tes, I know; but I was not think
ing of the house. I was thinking of
the diet"
"Oh, you'll arrange that all right,
Tm sure," said Mr. Carter, cheer
fully.
"lam going to try to,but you must
help, too. You see, John, that most
people waste a large part of what they
spend by injudicious purchases."
"I believe that," agreed Mr?Carter,
heartily.
"Yes," went on MIB. Carter, wax
ing eloquent, for this was her parti
cular hobby. "Not only by injudi
cious purchases, "but by almost au eu.
tire-absent knowledge .of the relative
nutritive qualities of various food pro
ducts, and by processes of cooking
and serving^which very much reduce
the value of the food. I want us to
live well, enjoy some luxuries, and
eave money on the same amount that
most people practically throw away."
"Yei're a sensible little woman,"
and Mr. Carter kissed her. "But how
is all this to be done?"
"Well, you see, John," said Mrs.
Carter, "after we became engaged I
took a r9gular course at the cooking
school, so now, in making out my
dietary for the week, I know that a
man's rations are scientifically enongh
when they contain 3500 calorics a day.
Therefore, it is a simple arithmetical
calculation to compute how mauy
Calorics ?tte necessary for the week."
**But what in the world is a
caloric?"
"A caloric is the unit of heat esti
mated necessary to raise the tempera
ture of a pound of water four degrees
Fahrenheit, and the unit of energy
adopted in estimating the full value of
food."
Mr, Carter drew a long breath and
looked bewildered.
"All right, my dear, you go ahead
and attend to the calorics. I'll eat
them if they are good."
"And you won't go to any "of these
horrid places' down town for lunch,
will you? I don't want your diges
tion ruined, so promise me that you
will eat only my home cooking."
And the misguided man promised.
So the Carters began their housekeep

.'Nellie," said Mr. Carter some few
weeks after this, "do you know we
nave not had fried potatoes since we
have been keeping house? I am very
fond of fried potatoes for breakfast "
"Fried potatoes!" ejaculated Mrs.
Carter. "Well, I should say not
They ara one ol the most indigestible
things that oue can take into the
stomach."
Mr. Carter felt an inward protest
rising, bat stifled it.
'Ton are hot taking any of that
olive oil, John," continued the wife.
"It is necessary to the system to eat
half a pouud of butter and an equal
quantity of olive oil a week. ' You
don't do either."
"I don't like olive oil at all, and I
never did eat much butter," returned
Mr. Carter, patiently.
"I am afraid that you are a little in
clined to self-indulgence, John."
Mr. Carter laid down his knife and
fork and openedxhis lips to reply.
One look at the pretty face of
his wife, however, made him change
the sarcastic remark to the good
humored one of:
"Well, perhaps I am. I will be a
different man, I expect, after I haye
you to guide me for awhile."
"Mrs. Carter nodded acquiescent
ly.
"John," she cried, some hours
later, what are you doing?"
"Getting a drink, my love," re
turned John mildly.
"But "you must not drink that
water. Don't you know that it is full
of bacteria?"
"Then, what am I to drink, Nellie?
I can't go without water?"
"Of coarse not Here is some that
I have boiled."
"Phew!" he exclaimed in disgust
"How flat it tastes ! I'll just take a
good drink fresh from the well."
"Oh, John, dear!" cried Mrs. Car
ter, tearfully, "you mustn't It is all
full of bacteria."
"I guess they won't hurt me,"
laughed John. "I've always drank
it so."
? *3)on't do it! Please don't, John.
For my sake," pleaded the wife. "It
is so dangerous "
"Well, put -some ice in this, then,
and I won't"
"Ice! Why, what would be the use
of boiling it if we're to put ice in it ?
- Ice is full of microbes." .
Mr. Carter drank the boiled watet
in silence, and read the paper until
dinner was ready.
"What cut of beef is this?" he asked
as he prepared to carve the meat "Il
doesn't look like a roast"
"It isn't. It's the neck. I find ]
can get more food value for less
money from the neck than from th(
rib.- For instance IO cents' worth o
the neck of the beef will give me .3(
of a pound of protein "and 1.825 calo
rica."
Mr. Carter groaned.
. ?Then." went on Mrs. Carter, no
noticing the groan, "I add potatoes
bread and frnit for the carbo-hydrate
and we have a meal perfect in foot
value, containing protein, fat, starcl
and sugar. All for the same moue;
that a roast would have cost us," shi
wound up triumphantly.
"Well, for tomorrow," said Carter
*^et's have a roast pork with potatoe
and cherry pie."
Mrs. Carter stared at him a moment
and then said* pityingly: "John, yoi
gre aa ignorant as most people con
. corning food values. It won't do, m;
dear. This is as much for your gooi
as mine. Boast pork and potatoe
contain five times as much carbon a
y??n need. As d'or cherry pie"-she
made an expressive gesture as if it
were uot worth mentioning, and con
tinued-"you will soon get over these
yearnings of a falsely educated ap?
petite, and then you will be all right*
I nm afraid that you have been very
, improperly brought up,-John, "
Mr. Carter glared at her angrily?
and thr^w down his knife and fork
With a bang.
"If you mean in regard to calorics',
proteins and all the rest of it, yes; I
waa."
"Ob, John!" Mrs. Carter rose from
the table with her handkerchief to her
eye3. "You? are c-crnely wiieii you
know I'm doing the best I can."
?What could he dbi He had not been
married long, and was not proof
against her tears. He arose from the
table, took her in his arms, begged
forgiveness and promised to eat any
thing and everything she would give
him, if only she would smile. They
made up, of course, and Carter bore
himself heroically for six months
through a dietary that tabooed pie,
and was arranged according to food
values.

"See here, Carter," said a friend
meeting him one day on the street,
"what's the matter? You look like a
shadow. Come iu and have soinej
thing."
"I don't care if I do," said Carter,
suddenly feeling the need of some
thing stimulating. "I'm afraid I
don't feel up to much lately.'
He lifted the glass to his lips and
then set it down suddeuly.
"What is it? Isn't it all right?"
asked his friend.
"It isn't boiled," answered Carter?
faintly, who thought, he saw microbes
bubbing up through the effervescence.
"Boiled!'* ejaculated the other in
disgust. "Well, I should say not!
You'd better take a stimulant. Carter.
"No, thank yo?,I dou't believe that
I will take anything. You will excuse
me, old fellow, won't you? I-I don't
feel well."
"It's all right," answered his
friend. "What made you think of
the drink being boiled?"
"I don't know. Just a fancy," re
turned Carter, too loyal to his wife to
tell the cause.
Carter went home feverish. Much
to his wife's alarm he did not eat a
mouthful of supper. Finally he went
to bed and fell asleep. Whilo he slept
he dreamed.
He was in an immense dining room.
Great roasts of beef and pork, Hanked
by steaming vegetables, loaded the
tables. Pies of mince and cherry
were on the buffets; fruits, salads,
water with' huge chunks of ice floating
in it, milk cooled also by ice.
Carter's mouth watered; but alas!
when he approached tho meats, pro
tein and calorics appeared to raise
from them. Carbo-hydrates reared
great heads frSm fruits and vege
tables; bacilli jeered at him in the ice
water; microbes looked out from the
milk.
A feeling of fierce anger seized hold
of him. Was he to starve because of
these creatures? Well, let them do.
their worst! A drink he would have
in spite of them. Catching up a cup,
he started to the water. Instantly
bacilli, microbes aud bacteria of all
kinds surrounded him.
Suddenly an enormous bacillus that
he had not seen before darted toward
him and w.as upon him before he could
' take a step. Carter gave a shriek
a*nd sprang wildly from his bed.
"Why John! What is the matter?"
asked Mrs. Carter, sitting up.
"Matter*" growled Carter, picking
himself up from the floor, where he
had landed. "Matter enough, I tell
you. Tomorrow begins a new state
of things at this house. I'm going
to Jive decently if I eat all t he bac
teria in the world. Calorics and all
the rest of them have to go. They
have had their innings. Now conies
mine. Do you here, Nellie?"
"Yee, John," replied Mrs. Carter,
meekly. She had been married long
enough to know that when Carter
used that tone things must go his
way.
The next day at dinner the follow
ing was the bill of fare:
Soup.
Eost pork with potatoes. Apple sauce
Onions, beans, tomatoes, peas, corn.
Cherry, mince, apple pie.
Ice water.
And Carter was happy.

Grafting Wax and How to Make Tr.
Here is a recipe for an excellent
grafting wax: One pound tallow, two
pounds beeswax, four pounds rosin.
Slowly melt all together, stir well and
wheu partially cooled pour iuto pans
which have been moistened or oiled to
keep the wax from clinging too tightly
to them. When thoroughly cold
break into convenient pieces:
Baw (not boiled), linseed .oil is often
preferred to the tallow, and in very
warm regions a mach larger propor
tion of rosin will mako the Wax less
apt to tun, reduciug its cost also, as
the beeswax is the most expensive
though an indispensable article in its
compositiou. "
For use it should be melted and ap
plied carefully over all exposed cuts
and often cracks around the grafts.
A small paint brush is the most con
venient for this purpose. It can be
applied safely much warmer than eau
be borne by the hand.
The Profit in Poultry.
There is profit in poultry if it is
given half a chance. Even when the
returns in fowls and eggs are small a
flock may he of great value as foragers.
The quantities of insects and weed
seeds that.are devoured are seldom
taken into consideration, but they are
not to be passed by without notice.
So wo can well afford to keep the hen,
even though the mischief done were
twice as great. But with poultry, as
with other farm stock, the day for the
scrub is past.
So much has been written regarding
the immense profit to be obtained
from poultry lhat one might almost
suppose that the millennium would
surely be at baud as soon as every one
could be induced to raise chickens.
It would be as well to advise every
body to raise cucumbers. Why not
recommend the gardener to grow
wheat or the dairymau to raise sheep?
If a farmer has a taste for poultry he
is likely to make it au important part
of his business, for he can discover
what is profitable without being told.
.If he has not. au aptitude for fowls it
is the part of wisdom to limit himself
to a small i! jfk, as many do. There
are many farms on which small flocks
are kept merely to supply the family
with table fowls and eggs. Few or
none of the products aro sold. Other
interests are found more congenial
than poultry raising, consequently
more profitable.-Frank D. Wells,
before the Michigan Poultry Breeders'
Association.
Essentials in Sncrar Making;.
The secret of making a fine quality
of maple sugar consists iu three
things: First, begin early. One pail
of sap in March is worth more than
one and a half pails in April. Tho
sap run in the fore part of March is as
a rule much sweeter than in April.
The colder the weather in which sap
runs, the hotter the quality of sugar.
A man must have everything all ready
if he wants to begin early. If. the
snow is deep, the roads should be
broken iu February if necessary. All
things must be clean, arcb or arches
in repair, wood cut and all kinds of
tools and utensils where you can find
them at a moment's warning. Next,
rapid boiling. To secure this, the
wood should be cut two or throe years
in advance aud kept under cover if
possible. If not piled under cover, it
should be piled where the sun eau
shine ou ii. The wood should be
.split fine to make the hottest fire.
The fire should not be allowed to go
down from the time it is started uutil
the syrup is ready to take off. An
arch should be built smoke-tight, and
with a chimney tall enough to furnish
a good draft. As for what the sap is
boiled in, whether au evaporator or a
heater aud a pan or a pan alone, it
may not matter so much if a mau tends
to his business. But as a rule, the
simpler the boiling apparatus the bet
ter the result, but the oftener th?
syrup is taken off the better* l:Third,
neatness is indispensable. Unless
you keep things sweet, all will tie ?
failure, as far as making the ''real
thing" goes.-C. C. Bicknell in Neu

Xhis disease is tho most tronblesonu
enemy of the apple grower, though i
is not so recognized, except by seien
tists. Most apple producers won h
name the codling moth aa tho wors
enemy, but that is because the appl<
scab fungus does a great deal of dam
age that is not generally attributed tc
it. Generally,it is recognized only a
a defacement on an apple and tb
picker pays little attention to it. A
a matter of fact, the chief work of th
apple scab is on the foliage, with th
result of weakening the entire tre
and of cutting short the crop yea
after j'ear.
The uninformed orcbardist does no
dream that his early' falling fruit i
due to the fuugus named. Ho won
ders why his apples reach a small siz
and fall off. Those that hang ou ar
reduced in size because they have no
had the nourishment the tree shonl
have given them. Finally,in the fall
the leaves of the tree begin to fall o
earlier than usual, and the tree ' i
bare long before the other trees hav
begun to shed their foliage. Th
scab has been tho cause of it all. Th
tree has been uuable to store up foo
for the next year's crop, nor has :
been able, to harden up the wood :
has made. So next year, no matte
how propitious the season or how fre
this tree may be from scab, the ero
of fruit on it will be small.
The only remedy is persistent spraj
ing, and that, too, for more than ou
year, lt takes two years to produc
a crop of fruit-from the formation (
the fruit bud to the perfecting of ti
fruit-and spraying for one year onl
will not undo all the damage. TL
spraying this year must bo begun b
fore tho leaves open, to destroy t
much as possible the fungus on tl
twigs. Spraying "calendars are ?

grows corn, oats, wheat and clover in
a regular four year rotation. Every
thing is fed on the farm except the
wheat. He asks whether it would
pay Letter to raise 'rye instead of
wheat and feed it out, thus selling no
crop off the farm. No, I wouldn't do
this where you live. Better grow
wheat aud Fell it and buy wheat bran
with tho money to feed with your
corn and stover and clover. Wheat
will briug yon, say, 1 1-4 cents a
pound or near it. You can buy wheat
bran in the summer usually for a
half to three-quarters of a cent a
2)ouud. . The pound of wheat con
tains .102 of a pound of digestive proj

poitnd bf wheat bran, you see, will
ccst considerably l?ss thau yoti sell
your pound of wheat for; iu fact, you
can nearly buy two pounds of br?u J
for oue of wheat, and tho brau is
worth more than your wheat to feed
with your corn to all growiug animals,
aud cows giving milk or cairying a
calf.
Bye is not quite as good as wheat to
feed, so you would 'gain nothing by
growing rye to leed unless you can
grow lu to 15 per cent, more per acre,
iou might as well feed your wheat.
But the best way is to raise large
crops of good? clean wheat, and sell
aud buy br?n wheil it is lowest and
store it for winter. The rotatiuri ydti
are following; my friend; and th?
feeding out Of practically all you
raise, and ydur careful saving of man
ure under cover should enable you to
grow large paying crops of wheat.
Your land must increase in fertility
under such good management, and
particularly if you buy bran with the
wheat money for a time.
But tim isn't all by auy means.
You cows aud growing auimals will
do much better for having plenty of
bran along with corn and cornstalks.
This, with nice clover hay, ought to
make them do well, indeed. Full
grown beef cattle will do protty well
on clover hay and corn and stover.
However, good farmers as you are,
fatteu steers before they get their
growth, aud in this case wheat bran
with corn and clover will pay. It will
keep the animal growing as well as
fattening. The protein iu the grain
furnishes growing material, that is,
the material to make blood and muscle
and bone. Bran is more thau one
eighth protein; corn only about one
twelfth. It is true that a pound of
wheat would give more heat and
energy producing food (carbohydrates)
than a pouud of bran, but it would be
lost, as corn and stalks and hay fur
nish more bf this than is needed.

"OLD TIMBER-WOOD."
Love of Satire Often Got Him In Trouble
With the Court.
In the days antedating railroads In
northern Iowa, the days of saloons
and circuit courts, a certain ponderous
judge was for many -years accom
panied on his rounds by District At
torney Wood, popularly known as Old
Timber-Wood. He had been christened
Timothy, the name was curtailed to
Tim, and by easy evolution developed
into Timber.
Old TinibeMVood was a. unique and
Interesting character; rough but digni

treated before the world with an al

were the warmest of friends, the feel

The Judge, who was entirely lacking
in personal dignity, really needed the
support of his friend's deferential at
1 tltude to keep him in countenance,
and when it was temporarily removed,
Old Timber-Wood's love of satire oc
casionally betraying him iuto the sac
rilege known as 'contempt of court,"
he was stung to fury, and promptly
punished the offense. Many ? fine bad

money to pay these assessments, a fa
vor which was never refused, the fact
that he must humble himself to ask
it sufficiently restoring his Honor's
complacency. The Judge was of a
thirsty habit and frequently left the
bench, substituting Wood in his place
-as an old-time schoolmaster substi
tuted one of the larger boys when he
wished to absent himself from the
room-and stepped out to refresh him
. self at a neighboring saloon.
On one occasion, very shorty after
a skirmish with the attorney, In which
he had finally avenged his insulted
dignity in the usual way, he abruptly
called Wood to the bench and started
down the aisle. ' Wood hastily slipped
Into his place, and before he had
reached the door rapped sharply on
the desk and called out, "Gentlemen,
before proceeding further with the
case, the Court wishes to Instruct the
Clerk to remit the fine lately Imposed
upon Attorney Wood."
Tho Judge halted, wheeled about
with a very red face, ana opened his
Ups to protest, but the bar and the
jury drowned him out with a chorus
of laughter.-Harper's Magazine.

Fooled by a Fox.
Lord Congleton's preserves neai

cently the scene of a most unusual
sporting incident, which goes to show
that the Impudence of foxes is prcttj
well on a par with their proverbial
cunning, states a letter to 'the Londor
Telegraph. A woodcock was flushed
in the pleasure grounds, which wen
being beaten for rabbits, near tin
house, and was promptly knocked
down by Mr. McKenna, Lord Congie
ton's agent. Just as the latter wa.?
about to pick up the bird, however, ?
fox suddenly dashed out of a cluini
of rhododendrons, and snapping it up
bolted away with his audaciously ac
quired prize, despite much shouting
and hallooing on the part of those win
were eye-witnesses of an episode well
nigh unique.

i?S TEETH WERE HIS OWN.
Add Yet the rac ta Wen Rather Oat of the
?r?la?ti.
Four ?r five traveling men ?f?t?ti?
tii? liotel stove' Bad been talking About
teeth, when one of them1 got upi and
saying "good night" went off id Bed:
"Did you notice what fine teeth that
party had?" said a man from St.
Louis. "He won't acknowledge they
/ire false.- or rfltlier he insists that they
are j?j?s 8]#3r, ?nd yet He doesn't quite
tell the Irutt?. ,,ily brother is d den
tist in Kansas City, and tm's" mari lives
there, and my brother does ?ii? worK
for him. Not that he tells me any
thing, but merely as an incident, for
everybody who knows the man'knows
the circumstances. His teeth are his
own, and at the same time they aro
false. You don't understand, so I'll
explain. He nlwnys had unusually
fine teeth, but about five years ago
tii?y snowed signs of ??iggs' disease,
an affection which causes tue guiris
to recede from the roots, leav'ng them
exposed some distance down from the
enameled surface. In aggravated
cases or where the. person is very sen
! siting the disease is very p'?lnfttl and
ft is almost impossible to relieve lt;
To cure it is practically inpossible, for
the gums will not grow back again.
This man was of the sensitive kind,
and although physicians and dentists
tried thoir skill on him they could do
.nothing, and he suffered so that at last
he told my brother te extract every
tooth in his mouth and put false ones
In for him. As nothing else could bc
done my Brother fdllowed instructions
and iiulled every tooth. They" were'
all iii perfect condition, and as my
brother looked them over, regretting
that his patient was forced to give
them up, a novel idea decurred to
him, which be at once told to thc other*
man, who agreed to it willingly. This
was that instead of making artificial
teeth, as was the usual custom, these
same teeth be used exactly as if they
wena artificial. My brother, who is a
first-class dentist always, was more
than ordinarily careful on this Job, and
when he had mounted the teeth in a
plate measured to a hair's breadth
and slipped.them into his patient's
mouth they fitted as If they had grown
there, as lt were, and now there isn't
one man in a thousand can tell that
they are false, if, indeed, false they
are. At the sante time there isn't any
more Riggs* disease to trouble him."

DEATH OF AN HISTORIC OAK.
It Saw Many Queer Sights In the Course of
Hs 300 Years of Life.
Another of the historic trees of
Maryland has perished. Nearly three
hundred years ago the oak of Lloyd's
Hill, near Hillsboro, on the Talbot side
of the Tuckahoe River, was described
in a writing still extant.
There Is no known record of its di
mensions, but it had a mighty trunk.
Its magnificence was in its branches,
whose amplitude was extraordinary.
The shadow cast on the ground by the
outspreading limbs under a vertical
sun -made a circle whose diameter was
more than 100 yards. Decay fastened
upon the tree; then, some years ago,
an axeman made a huge wound In one
side and the tree, being too old to
heal itself, gradually rotted. Recently
some one stuffed the hollow with dry
leaves and brush and set it afire at
night. The country for miles around
was Illuminated. After the fire burned
out the remainder of the giant oak
was cut down and carted away.
The oak in these olden days was
sometimes called *'Tho Quaker Tav
ern," because the Delaware Friends,
after having assembled at Camden,
made their pilgrimage by this route
to the Third Haven Meeting House
where George Fox preached and Lady
Baltimore met William Penn-to at
tend the yearly meeting long before
there was any town of Easton to ex
tend to them Its hospitality. The oak
on Lloyd's Hill was their regular
noonday stopping place. Here they
would rest and feed their horses and
unpack and eat their lunches.
Heron Island, in Miles River, is now
treeless. An old and gnaried cedar,
for many years the only tree on this
barren waste of sand, was recently
cut down and burned for fuel by some
oystermen who were cast away there
in a storm. The cedar was a valuable
landmark to the river sailors. Terri
torially, Heron Island ls in Queen
A:ino County. It belongs to the es
tate of the late Col. Richard S. Dod
son.
