MOTHER OP THE IMMIGRANTS.
Un. Resina Stacklen's Distinctive Work (3
New York.
John Gilmer Speed writes as follows
fn Ainslee's Magazine:
"Probably no two women in
America come so close to a varied per
sonal history as Mrs. Regina Stuck
len, Chief Inspector of the Women's
Department of the Barge Office, and
well known ns the Mother of Immi
grants, and her assistant, Miss Tay
lor. No church in all the metropolis
solemnizes so many marriages as the
Barge Office, and no matrimonial agent
on earth arranges so many weddings
as dees Mrs. Stucklen; and beneath
the majority of these there Is a sav
ing proportion of romance that leav
. eneth the whole heavy lump. Thus
there are compensations even in the
most arduous tasks and amid sur
roundings that are repellent to a re
fined feminine mind.
"Personally, with great benignity
and with slgnnl absence of official fus
siness, Mrs. Stucklen regards the
wants of all the women. She learns
not only whence each comes, but
"whither each wishes to go and what
each purposes to do. Of the struggles
?with the great problems of existence
in all countries and In all grades of so
cial life, ?tfrs. Stucklen knows enough
to fill volumes. The Mother of the Im
migrants ls a woman of strong person
ality, calm, firm and sympathetic
under most trying situations, and to
the would-be bride, who has arrived a
stranger In a foreign land to meet her
promised husband;''sh? ?? a\;b^?g??)m
s?llori witness and friend. As about
three hundred marriages take place
annually at the Barge Office, or di
rectly under its auspices-one solemn
ization for every working day of the
year-and as Mrs. Stucklen inquires
into the intimate history of each mat
rimonial affair, she has more than an
ordinary opportunity to study this in
teresting side of life. Whither ^thoy.
go and how they prosper after : leav
ing her-; gua. dian care, the Inspector
has little.#opportunity ,.;ofv. knowing-,
whether to found honorable and pros
perous .families, or to fall and fill the
pauper's grave. Barely one per cent,
of them ever retains enough grateful
memory of her services to inform her.
But there are rewards in knowing
one's duty well done; and If there is
a seeming ingratitude on the. parj of
brides and grooms alike; Tt.is1 because ?'.
the Government, and the Barge Office
as one of Its institutions. Is a thing of
odium to the average immigrant-the
tiling from which he fled when he for
sook his native hills and valleys; and
the sorrows and tribulations of the de
tention pens the immigrant seeks to
blot from his memory as speedily as
possible."
A New Bnsiness ia Boston.
The Boston Transcript says that
"store opening" is a new business in
the Hub. It seems that enterprising
real estate agents who have little
stores to let in residential districts
have discovered that an establishment
In full running order, well stocked and
presenting a clean, businesslike ap
pearance, Is much more likely to at
tract the eye of a-prospective tenant
than an empty store with unwashed
windows and a cobwebbed celling. .
The agents therefore employ "store
openers" - generally women - whose
business it is to stock untenanted/
stores temporarily, (the capital being
supplied by the real estate dealers)
and to conduct the sa sic until .rent
ers are found.

It ls often possible to transform
a commonplace-little "hall or landing

A dainty arrangement is made by
throwing a length of Chinese, em

ross thy window. The embroidery
might be In dull blue and gold tones,
draped in a single big festoon at the
top of the casement, letting the rest
of the stuff hanp down one side of the
window in graceful folds nearly to the
floor.- In front of this drapery ls then
placed a stand of carved Indian black
wood, which supports a big Japanese
bronze bowl, holding tall reeds and
yellow Iris. -

SOME Tiri?LY SUGGESTIONS.
How to Produce a Profitable Crop of
Wheat.
The Charlotte Oil & Fertilizer Com
pany and the President of the Com
pany, Mr. Fred Oliver, of Charlotte, N.
C.," have again demonstrated on their
farms what can be dene towards -profit
able wheat raising. The 250 acres which
they had in wheat this year gavo an av
erage yield of 30 bushels per acre; one
field of 30 acres gave an average yield
of 84 bushels, another field of 90 acres
gave an average yield of 33 bushels per
acre. A field of 60 acres that was in
wheat a year ago, sown by the former
owner of the laud, and which last year
yielded only eight bushels per acre,
this year gave au average yield of 24
bushels to the acre. With such an il
lustration of what oan be dono by pro
gressive farming, why will the majority
of farmers continuo to be satisfied, or,
if not satisfied, continue to curso theil'
luck when their crop of wheat tarns out
only five to ten bushels per acre? Tuero
is no reason, and in fact, it is a crime
for any fanner to throw away his time
and land by growing such a poor crop,
as the most of them now raise wheu
thoy could treble aud quadruple tho
yield by intelligent aud progressiva
farming. They must use better mules
aud ploughs to prepare tho soil, using
tho best disc grain drills, having fertil
izer distributors attached to plant and
fertilise the wheat, using the best seed
wheat even if it does cost a few cents
per bushel moro money, using not les3
than -100 lbs. high grade complete fer
tilizer per aero instead of 103 lbs. of low
grado acid and acid potash goods. Seed
.wheat that is free from broken and de?
fectivo wheat, and above all almost ab
solutely free from oockb seed is worth
twice os much for seeding as the scod
wheat usually used. Still more im
portant is the fact that seed wheat from
a crop that gavo a yield of 30 to 35 bush
els per acre is superior to seed wheat
from a crop that gave only five to ten
bushels per acre. No farmer will at
tempt to raise mules and horses to
'weigh 1,400 to 1,600 lbs. each and ex
pect to succeed if he uses for breeding,
stock that weighs from 500 to 800 lbs. ;
no brooder of high grade milch cows
will expect to succeed except by using
high grade stock. Last, bat not least,
they must use nigh grado fertilizer if
tho farmers expect to receive proper re
turn's from land and labor. Why be
satisfied by using WO lbs. per aero of
?cheap, low grado fertilizer when 400
lbs. of high grade fertiliser will givo au
iuoreaso of 15-. to 25 bushels per acre?
It costs no more, or very little moro, to
prepare the land ? for a good crop than
for a poor one; it costs no more to drill
in good .seed wheat , aud 400 lb3. of high
grad9 fertilizer, per acre, th au to drill
in poor seed wheat and 100 lbs. of poor,
cheap fertilizer per acre; it costs no
moro to cut au acre of good wheat with
? reaping machino than it; doe3 to run
the machine over nu aero of poor wheat,
and tho reaping machine leaves less
wheat'iu'tho field uugaihored if the
crop is a'good ono than it does if the
crop is a poor one. Tho farmers of tho
south" have the best market for their
wheat, corn and hay of any section iu
the United States, as they cnn obtain
tho same prices us the western farmer
pins the freight that is charged from
the west to the south. Why not then
farm on a' profifnMo plan and not an
unprofitable ono? Use good stock and
tools, good seed and fertilizer, good
judgment and skill iu handling labor
aud machinery, and abovo all work
yourself ns au example to your hired
help, aud you will find farming profitable
The Courtesy of " Bobs."
Here la a story Illustrative of
''Bobs's" courtesy which I have receiv
ed from an officer, in Pretoria. The
greatest difficulty (he writes) has been
experienced here lh finding remounts
for the cavalry and mounted Infantry,
and the officers entrusted with the
duty of fiudlng them has been reduc
ed to sending men out to scour the
town and neighborhood for all sorts
and conditions of horses, from those
that drag drays to those that ladies
make pets of. One of the Pretoria
Jad?es, whose husband ls at present a
prisoner at St. Helena, has two such
magnificent carriage horses that the
exigencies of the service made the
men who discovered them turn a deaf
ear "to their owner's .remonstrances.
Whereupon she had them put Into
her curriage, and drove off to tho
'British residency and sought an Inter
view with Lord Roberts. She spoke
of herself ns a defenceless woman,
whose husband w:.3 a prisoner in the
hands of the invaders, and how she
had driven thc Boer commandoes
away from her house with a pistol.
Then she Invited. his lordship to go
out and see for himself whether they
were not too good for the veldt. Ha
went, and five minutes afterward she
drove nwny triumphantly, with her

Often he worked late Into the night,

the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the
mother. The mysterious change that develops the thought
less girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother

When tho yoting girl's thoughts become sluggish, when
she. experiences headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits
an abnormal disposition to sleep, pains in the back and lower

Tho Red Haired Lac/y.
Bed hair is a gift of the gods. Tho
woman to whom this rare endowment
has brought the accompanying gift of
a fine, close-grained skin and a clear
complexion, with glorious brown eyes,
need ask no odds of auy one. She be
longs In the line with the historic beau
ties of the centuries. Red hair and
blue eyes are a charming combination,
but red hair and brown eyes are be
yond all things fascinating.
The girl with red hair should avoid
lavenders, purples, yellow-greens and
Indeterminate browns and grays. She
may not wear pink in any of its shades
but deep ruby red and any of the wine
tints which omit purple are very be
coming to her. Black suits her, If lt
be opaque, and so do dark shades of
green.whlle white ls her especial choice
and sets off wonderfully her radiant
style and glowing beauty.
Improving Common Hog?.
A herd of common hogs may be
quickly and cheaply improved by in
troducing a boar of any good breed,
but of pure blood. Select, a new one
of the same breed each 3'ear, but not a
near relative. Such a course will give
a herd all the characteristics of that
breed in a few years. But If each
year a new breed ls selected, the at
tempted Improvement will prove a
failure. In-and-in breeding is another
and fatal error in perpetuating our best
breeds und families, ns no animal
'shows deterioration from that causo
as. soon as thc hog.

Fashion No?e?.
Gold fringe Is used extensively
Insh the ends of sashes.
Sleeves are constantly grow
arger, not only at the elbow but at
top.
Broad sleeves, or shoulder cffe<
ind full skirts assure us that br<

The popularity of the^ bnlf-slee1
sn'both Jackets and dress waists, n
ligces and tea gowns, is constantly
creasing. '
Sleeves- of Liberty silk, chiffon,
3ne silk-tissue should never, be appl
plain, on account of the sheerness
material. K
Tho sleeve of th? moment ls mi
erately full at the top, and ends
the elbow, where it ia frilled w
lace or plaitings.
A bca?tiful belt is mafle of a st
jf cluny lace insertion laid' over
white g'ros-graiil ribbon*.' These are <
aulsltely dainty.
Very, small Empire fans are all t
vogue again> and they must be citl
white encrusted with gold or of soi
very bright color.
Gold bands will be used with ban
of lace, ribbon, embroidery and op

Shirring or gathering are favori
modes of disposing of the: fullnei

the form of a stock and vest. Th
color ls not carried out at the wais

earlier in the season. Very little or n
velvet is used, with the exception o
ribbon velvet.

asteless Chill Tonic
Is the standard prescription of America for
Malaria, Chills and Fever.
How often do you hear, imitators say "Our
medicine is just as good as Grove's" or "It is
better than Grove's". Do not be satisfied
with the "just as goods". There are no "just
as goods**-Grove's is the best as such com
parisons admit-Grove's is many times supe
rior both in merit and popularity to any other
chill preparation manufactured, and* is thc
only Ghill cure sold to jobbers in car load
lots. Every druggist in the malarial sections
pf the United States and Cuba sells Grove's
on a No cure, No pay, basis. Price 50 cents.
Grove's Tonic broke up a 10 days' spell of fever which
a physician thought would last several weeks.
'" During my recent, illness your Chill Tonic proved of
beneficial effect-it. being highly endorsed by my family phy
sician, 3. bottles broke up a io days' spell of fever which at
first, was thought by the doctor would la9t for several weeks.
Your excellent remedy is having a tremendous sale through
out this section, more so than all other Chill Tonics combined,
as-I am informed by various druggists."

Tho Horse Fly Pest.
Tho ordinary flies are troublesome
enough to the dairyman, causing the
calves to lose flesh and the cows to
shrink in their milk, and the ox or
gadfly ls worse, hut when lt comes to
what are called the horse fly, we sup
pose them to be a worse pest than all
the others, states the American Culti
vator. We here republish the formula
given by tho'Kansas Experiment Sta
tion, which they say keeps off all flies
at a cost of one-fourth to one-half cent
a day for each animal,
It is as follows: Pulverized resin,
two parts, by measure; soap shavings,
one part; water, one-half part; fish-oil,
one part; water^ three parts. Place the
resin, soap shavings, one-half part of
water and fish-oil together In a re
ccptable and boll till the resin ls dis
solved; then add the three parts of
water, following with the oil of tar
mixed with the kerosene. Stir, the
mixture" well and allow lt to boil for
fifteen minutes.- When cool, the mix
ture ls ready for use, and should be
stirred frequently while being applied.
From one-eighth td one-half pint ls
sufficient for one application. To apply
i the mixture, a brush ls used. We find
nothing more satisfactory than a large
painter's brush.- At first it ls well to
mn kp an, application for two or throe
days in succession. Afterwards an ap
plication every other day will suffice.
It ls often, more economical not to at
tempt to protect the entire animal,
but only those parts not reached by the
head or tall. It ls perfectly safe, and
in no case has lt appeared detrimental
to tile health of thc calf.
It ls estimated that the world will
consume 11,000,000 bales of American
cotton this year. 1 ?
