The sextcn of a "swell" colored church" in Richmond was closing the windows ono blustering Sunday morn ing during service when Le was beck oned to the Bide of a young negress, the widow of a certain Thomas. "Why Is yo' shettin' dose winders, Mr. Jones?" she demanded in a hoarse whisper. "De air In dis church ls suffocatin' now!" "It's de minister's orders," replied tho sext-cn, obstinately.

The word "prestige," a3 The Dial points out, has a dub'ot-s history, ad mirably fitting it for its modern use as the shibboleth of jiewspaperdom, In the eighteenth century, "prestiges" were defined by our great lexicograph er, as "illusions, impostures, juggling tricks," and we still use ihe woid "presti(lig:tatOi'' ir: the sense of that old meaning. If today prestige has come to have something of the con notation of reputation, it. still sug gests its shady past, is acquired rath er by smartness than by sincerity, and "implies nothing more than suc cessful appeal to the imagination." One of the largest employers of advertising brains hit the nail on the head when he said, "Give me the man who can hold on when others let go; who pushes ahead when others turn back; who stiffens up when others weaken ; who knows no such words as 'can't' or 'give up,' and I will show you a man who will win. in the end."

"What shall I eat?" is the daily in quiry the" physician is met with. I do not hesitate to say that in my judgment a large percentage of dis .ease is causpd by poorly selected and improperly prepared food. My per sonal experience with the fully-cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to speak freely of its merits. "From overworn I suffered several years with malnutrition, palpitation of the heart and loss of sleep. Last summer I was led to experiment per sonally with the new food, which 1 used in conjunction with good rich cow's milk. In a sh?rt time after 1 commenced its use the disagreeable symptoms disappeared, my heart's ac tion became steady and normal, the functions of the stomach were prop erly carried out, and I again slept as soundly and as well as in my youth. , "I look upon Grapes-Nuts as a per fect food, and no one can gainsay but that lt has a most prominent place in a rational, scientific system of feed ing. Any one who uses this food will soon be convinced of the soundness of the principle upon which lt is man ufactured and may thereby know the tacts as to its true worth."

Have a shaded yard or good sized pea in which to keep the hens and little chicks, and keep the weeds and grass down short in this yard. A good precaution for both chiggers and dis ease is a liberal sowing of lime over all the yard, and in the coops.-Farm er's Home Journal. Day Mash Food. Experiments which have been con ducted at the New York Cornell Sta tion indicate that "for young fowls of the laying varieties, kept for commer cial egg production, the feeding of a dry mash in a feed hopper which is accessible at all times during the day is to be recommended." Pure Air and Water. Pure air and pure water are as es sential to the health of brood mares and the best condition of the foals that :hey are carrying as is pure food.

They are subject to fewer diseases than horses, they mature quicker than horses, cost less to breed and raise, there is al ways ready demand for them at any age, they have 'great endurance under trying conditions and great stress of labor; they are sure-footed, steady, not rattle-headed, active when well bred and well nourished and are safer than horses-Farmer's Home Journal. Setting Out Fruit Trees. The farm home that does not have a good orchard, vineyard and plenty of small fruits is missing something worth while. Why are there so many farms without fruits? Surely not be cause the family dees not care f' fruit. The real reason ls because the rush of farm work during the spring there is not time to get the ground ready and set out the trees or plants. Then many make a half-heart ed attempt at it, and having poor suc cess give up the orchard to weeds and live stock. Go at the work right. Pre pare the ground thoroughly, and set out the best trees and plants you can get. Apples, plums, pears, grapes, blackberries, raspberries and straw berries may all be grown easily and within a few years. Order your stock early and when it comes don't leave it dying around the freight depot for two or three days. , Get it home and If your ground ls not ready heel in the trees until you are ready to set them out.-Indiana Farmer. Forcing Hogs for Killing. Many farmers are now forcing their pigs to make the greatest possible! gain in weight before "killing lime." The office of experiment stations of the Department of Agriculture summarizes some Wisconsin station pig feeding ex periments covering a period of ten years, with the following conclusions: WV:re there is plenty of tine for ma - turing the pigs, and it is not necessary to secure the maximum daily gain, it is doubtful if it pays to grind corn for pigs. The test shows that where quick maturity is an important item, better results are secured from corn meal. Pigs fed corn meal eat more grain and make somewhat larger daily gains. Corn meal can doubtless be fed to good advantage in finishing off a bunch of hogs which were first fed shelled corn. Changing over to cora meal .near the close of the feeding period also furnishes a change in the character of the ration which will be satisfactory to the animals. When fitting hogs to show, sale, or in high pressure fee .ing for market, the feed er will consider it advisable to grind the corn, even though it is expensive to do so. Rape Pastures. Although we have never grown rape on our farm, writes a correspondent, it bas been grown by several of the neighboring farmers and I have paid close attention to their success with it. I intend to try a few acres next sea son. As pasture for hogs in the spring and early part of the summer I do not think we can find anything equal to it. Young hogs that run on rape pasture through the months of April, May and June arc very healthy and heavy boned they are in excellent condition for the feed lot. Rape seems to grow much better in rather moist ground. The plant, which slightly resembles cabbage, thrives best in rich soil. The ground should be in fine condition. Give the ground several harrowings. The best time lo sow the seed is in March or first half of April. Sow broadcast. Rape can endure considerable cold weather, but not very much dry weather during the summer, if there is a scarcity of rain the plant becomes tough, and them is very little growth. Rape also makes a fine pasture for sheep. It is more valuable for sheep and also steers in the fall or winter. When raised for the purpose it is better to drill it, in rows about 30 inches apart, along in May. Very often two or three crops can be cut in one season. It makes excellent feed for lambs. Many farmers do not know the pos sibilities of rape, and it is not as ex tensively grown as it should be or as it will be in the near future-Indi ana Farmer. New Life on the Farm. Prof. Bailey of .Cornell University, New York, in a recent talk to the farmers or that state said that schools should be well in touch with affairs of farm life, and further: "I believe in the rural schools. But like other roclal institutions in the country they are in a state of arrested development, as compared with the like situations in the city. With the telephone, the multiplied means of transportation, the country is not go ing io tumble headlong into the city, but the city is going to move out into the country, forming small suburban centers. "There is going to be more difficulty in getting a living from farm lands hereafter. The problems the farm will have to face are twenty times more numerous and more complex than fif ty yearB ago. So we are brought to the absolute necessity of developing a new point of view towards agrlcvi tural life and industry. If you be lieve tbere are possibilities of making a good living on the land, and life on the land is highly honorable, stick to lt. If the city life gets the best young men and women who are brought up in the country, it will be the city's glory and the country's fault for not developing this point of view, the appreciation of the science of agri culture, and for not keeping in touch with social instructions of our age In the rural districts as well as in the city. And this reorganization of the rural school is going to be a great part in this development of the rural life and community. "The farm labor problem will net be settled until you train up farm arti sans who have pride in their work as the shop artisan has in his work." Notes for The Farmer. The-barrel churn is not excelled for making good butter. The general market prefers butter with color like what is usual in June. Excessive washing may remove some of the volatile oils from butter and lessen its delicate flavor. Consumers of butter are very often the best to sell a high gTade to, but the seller should consider the cost of delivering. Cows that have to drink unclean water do not give choice milk; and af ter they have waded in nasty water, their udders are filthy and defile milk. Do not keep on churning till the but ter gathers in large lumps. Stop when the butter granules are the size- of wheat grains and float freely on the buttermilk. If starting with a cream separator, study carefully the directions of the manufacturer. He knows what his machinery can do and how to use it to the best advantage. If a barrel churn is run too fast, the cream will not fall from one end 'o the other as is should; and if run . slow, the cream will slip along the tides of the churn and fail to be agi tated enough. If the buttermilk is strained lurough cheese cloth or a hair-strainer, crumbs of butter will be caught that would otherwise be lost. Keep the cheese cloth or the rair strainer scrupulously clean, or the butter may deteriorate. Under cleanly farm conditions, the lactic acid bacteria predominates over all other kinds; and the lactic acid ones are the helpful kind. The bad ones are carried in dirt. Keep dirt out of milk, and thc bad ones will be largely kept out. The importance of cleanliness is so great that the subject will bear being recalled to mind now and then.-From "Drops of airy Cream" in the Progressive Farm Wolf Hunter's Record. Ninety-three timber wolves killed in less than a month's time is the record made by James Macintyre of Quatsino, who has presented a bill to the govern ment agent here for $1395, the amount of bounty at the ra>te of $15 a head. An examination of Mr. Maclntyre'a account showed that some of the wolves were killed before February 1, the date on which the increased boun ty came into effect, and on these he will be allowed only ?5 per head, but he has evidence enough of February's work to make his claim when revised amount to about $1000. It is reported that Indians up the coast, who have learned of the in creaseevxevx vxv x shrd s ta setaoinn crease in bounty on panthers and wolves to $15 a head each, have tak en to the woods on a hunt, and it is expected that they will soon have large sums to collect from the govern ment.-New Alberni Press. Animals and Rain. "Lions, tigers and all the cat tribe dread rain," said a zoo keeper. "On a rainy day they tear nervously up and down their cages, growling and tremb ling. We usually give them an extra ration of hot milk. That puts them to sleep. "Wolves love a gray day of rain. They are then very cheery. Treacher our as the wolf is, no keeper need fear him on a rainy day. He is too happy to harm a fly. "Snakes, too, like rain. They perk up wonderfully as the barometer falls and the damp makes itself felt in their warm cases. "Rain makes monkeys glum. They are apt from instinct, when they see it through the window, to clasp their hands above their heads and sit so for hours. That attitude, you know, makes a kind of shelter. It is the prim itive umbrella."-New Orleans Times Democrat. Knew His Dickens.. A third form boy in a city school belongs to a family of Dickens wor shippers, who have a kind of Dickens fellowship among themselves-read Dickens round the fireside, in turns, at night; quote Dickens in all sorts of little "family" catch phrases. The boy' of nine took his place in thc "Scripture" class this week, the les son had been on the story of Uriah the Hittite, and the form master was driving it home by close questioning, "And what," he asked, "was the name of Uriah's wife?" Dead pause. Then the voice of the youthful Dickens scho lar piped, "Please sir-Heep!"-Lon don Chronicle. His Present.

A frame covered with a cheese cloth for use In the pantry window will he found a boon to the dweller in the smoky city. It will keep the pantry ean, yet ventilate it 'as well. The frame should be made as high as one wishes the window to be opened. This same idea is excellent for ventilating bedrooms.-Boston Post. Folding the Clothes. Be exact in folding the drying clothes after washing. The selvedges ought to be at the Sides and the arti cle folded lengthways. Fold the olothes as nearly as possible of equal thick ness, or they will not look well when finished. Avoid unnecessary creases. Clothes should remain for two hours ? folded in a basket before mangling. Mangling requires great care and at tention in order to to stretch the arti cles nor strain them unduly. Take the damp and folded clothes and place them in the mangle perfectly straight -New Haven Register. Caring for Silks. Many complaints are heard over the counter to tho e?fect that silk gar ments, some of which have been worn very little, seem to split. The very worst thing for silk is heat, and ofttimes a wardrobe is built where a chimney runs right back of it, or a radiator is too near, so the silk crum '? bles. Many wholesalers have holes drilled In the walks or ventilation In winter, if their silks are near any excessive -ehat, and manufacturers that have a heavy stock in summer alwr T nlace it in cold storage. Certain c . are more perishable than others, out it is well to take precaution for the protec tion of all.-Boston Post. Serviceable Kitchen Rugs. Buy 1 1-2 yards of heavy write dusk (12 ounces ia a good weight, I think) which will be about 10 cents a yard; sew a narrow hem at each end. Buy in the 10-cent store three 10-cent cans of ready mixed paint, two light slate and one black. Give the dusk a coat of the slate, using one whole can; let it dry before applying second coat, which should only take about 1-2 of the remaining can. Then with the black paint a border around it 2 1-2 or 3 inches wide. If repainted every spring rugs like this will wear for years. They are easily cleaned, cheap and can be made just the length one wants. Light drab with a dark red border makes a pretty rug, too.-Bos ton Post. To Restore Polish to Marble. When the polish has been removed from marble by acids or from any oth er cause it is quite difficult to restore it with such appliances as one can use In the home. However, if one have strength and patience it can be done. Cover the defaced place with a thick bed of powdered pumice stone; wet this with water and rub with a large flat stone, ronewlrtg the pumic stone and water from time to time. It re quires a great deal of hard rubbing , to get a smooth surface. Finish by rubbing wiih putty powder, and wa ter. For a rubber use a block of wood covered with a piece of soft woolen cloth. To clean marble: Take two parts of common washing soda, one part of finely powdered chalk, one part pum ice stone; mix all together and sift through muslin. Afterwards mix the powder with some water; ub this well on the marble and the stains will disappear. To add a gloss wash the marble with fuller's earth and hot water. New York Press. Recipes.

Tennyson is not tho only poet laureate whom Regent Street ha3 known. Southey relates a ludicrous scrape into which he and Campbell fell one day in the Quadrant. Camp bell wished to relieve a poor woman and rushed Into the nearest shop to change a sovereign. The shopkeeper was attending to customers and de layed to oblige him, and the generous poet lest his temper. Thereupon the shopkeeper jumped to the conclusion that he had two rogues to deal with, and rashly sent for the police. Camp bell stood in helpless fury, but when Southey explained things to the con stable, that worthy, who happened to be a Glasgow man, at once exclaimed: "Guidness, mon, is that Maister Carnell, the Lord Rector o' Glaisgie?" After that it was difficult to separate Campbell and the shopkeeper, so warmly were their hands interclasped Jn explanations and forgiveness. Westminster Gr.zet.'.e. ' Pert Paragraphs.
