T " <?? ?ro: ?hi Thousands of cotton planters have done so by using Vircinia irc lin'a Fertilizers, and hundreds of them tell about it in our 1907 almanac. Deep preparation, "and liberal .use (400 to 1000 pounds) of ? Virginia=Carolina Fertilizers per acrs, concentrated on fewer acres, thoroughly cultivated, enables - the tap roots to strike down deep to reach the moisture, and the feeding . roots to take complete possession of the soil early in the season. Your \ plant will then be so strong, robust and healthy, that it fruits heavier, ' matures earlier,, opens earlier, and can be gathered earlier to better advantage, and in better order?thus insuring best results in marketing a* well as obtain the largest yield per acre.

"Now;. children," said Molly Jud Bon gayly, as she looked at the dole ful faces of her younger brother and her little sister, "we are going to have a lot of fun to-day, and before you know It It will be time for father and mother to come back. First, I must give you another dose of medi cine, Wesley, for mother said yon must take it regularly all day to break up your ague." Molly went to a little shelf In the cellearwhy for the quinine. She felt keenly the responsibility of 'her po sition, for it was the first time In her life that she had been left alone with the children for a whole day. Of j course there was no danger, she j thought, but then one did feel so I much safer when one's mother was at home. The Judsons lived a mile and a half from the nearest village. Iu the opposite direction was a great swamp beyond which a small band of Indians had a settlement. . The In j dians often passed the Judson house, j but rarely did one stop there, for 1 they all stood in awe of Molly's father, whom they called the "Big Chief." , Molly carefully measured out the \ white powder, dissolved It In a ta ; blespoon of water and brought It. to , her brother. Wesley swallowed the ' dose heroically though he made a I very wry face. "Now I'll read you a 8tbry from Pilgrim's Progress, If you want me to," said Molly. "All right," Wesley leaned back ' contentedly In his chair. "Juat read ! about the fights Pilgrim had, and I skip the other parts, please." ' Faith brought her little rocking j chair up close to Molly, who begaa i to read th* wonderful story. "Wasn't Pilgrim great!" Wesley i exclaimed as Molly finished. "When ! I get big I'm going to do as he did. Of course there arpn't any giants like Apollyon around here, so I'm going to fight drunken Indians. Father says a drunken Indian is the worst creature on earth. Ar?a't you lorry you are a girl, Molly?" "Why?"'asked Molly, "Because you can't ever fight, j Girls can't ever conquer their ene j mies: thev haven't got strength j tnough." * "Let's play Indian,*' continued Wesley. "I'll be Scar Face and Faith will be my squaw. Molly, you be a white lady and we'll come to see you and scare you most out of your wi s." "All right," agreed Molly, j The children left the room to pre i pare for the game. When they came back a marvelous change had taken j olaee. Wesley wrapped In a gor ! jeous blanket, his head encircled by ' jl waving band of feathers, one cheek j Sa ilng with a fiery red scar of ! shalk, presented a frightful appear j ance. Faith, with a brilliant shawl I drawn over her head, followed ' meekly In his rear. ! The fun began in good earnest. Wesley acted his part with great i spirit, while Molly played the role of j ihe frightened white lady to perfec i tlon. Presently Wesley stepped to the ? window to adjust his head-gear, ( which was allpping down over hla ! 'ace. j "Oh, Molly," he gasped suddenly ', turning around with a terrified look. ! "There's a real Indian coming here!" j Molly gave one glance toward the ; window and her face went white, j "Wesley," she said quietly, "you and Faith go Into the bedroom and shut j the door tight. Don't make any j noise, and Btay there until I call you I out." A loud knock thundered through ' the room. Molly, outwardly calm, ! though her heart was beating as If It would burst, opened the door. There stood Scar Face, as the set tlers called him. Molly knew him from the grea scar across his cheek. She had often heard this Indian spo ken of as the wickedest man of the tribe. "Good afternoon," she said, try ing hard to keep the terror out of her voice. Star Face grunted and entered the room. "Big Chief not home." The word| ; were uttered?not as a question, but i as a declaration of fact A MYSTERY SOLVED. ? "How to keed of periodic attacks of i billiousne-s and habitual constipation i was a mystery that Dr. King s New I L fe Pills solved for me." writes John N. Pleasant, of Magnolia, Ind.

I ?-White-Squaw ^6W?~Z6?]r~Z^rAt^ ed "Papooses all alone." Molly nodded. There was net use denying iL Scar Pace bad doubtless seen her father and mother drive past for they had gone across' the awamp to reach their destination. "Will you sit Uown?" she asked, hoping to conciliate him by treating Him politely. Scar Face sat bolt upright la the chair Molly placed for him. His beadlike eyes wandered curiously around the room, taking in every object. "Is your wife well?" asked Molly. He grunted an affirmative. "And your papooses?" "Me got no papooses," he answer ed gruffly. There was a long silence in which Molly heard distinctly the beating of ber own heart. Having made a thorough survey of the room, Scar Face's eyes came back and. rested on Molly's face. "Me want drink," he said. "All right, 1*11 get you one." Molly crossed the room, and filling a big ?b dipper with water from u pail, sho brouht It to Scar Face. A look of utter disgust passed over the Indian's fscn. "Ugh!" he ejaculated, waving It scornfully away, "me no want water. Bit no like It. Pnpooes get me cider." "We haven't any cider," said Molly. "Barrel of It In cellar," declared Scnr Face. "Oh, but that isn't fit to drink; we are keeping it for vinegar. It ham't been good for weeks." "Me like it. Me want some," in slated the Indian. . "it's bitter," begnn Molly, but Scur Face broke in savagely, his small eyes'narrow'ng to two glitter ing: point* that b?'?med to pierce throngh her. "Go!" he commanded, "or me usa tomahawk." He pointed toward Mol ly's long braid with his lefi: hand, while with Mb right he made a sig alfc-ant. circling motion. Molly went to the cupboard and started to^taka down a littla pitcher. ??No," Raid Scar Face, und ho pointed to a large pitcher which stood near. "Me want heap cider. Bring heap.*' he ordered, as Molly started reluctantly toward the cellarway. Her thought* came thick And fast. What should she do? She de^red not disobey, yet she knew the effect the j hard cider would have upon the ?an. Molly knew that even the offi cers in the village were afraid of j Scar Face when he was drunlt. ! A thought flashed through her | mind. She caught sight of the pack ige of quinine on the little shelf j over the stnlrs. Hastily taking It j down she hurried into the cellar. Emptying. the quinine into tha pitcher, she filled the dish to the brim with the cider. Then she went back to Scar Face. His mahogany face lighted up and his beady eyes sparkled as he saw j the pitcher of foaming cider. Eager ly seizing if from Molly, ho put it to i his lips and drank a deep draught. Thon the pitcher fell to the floor with a crash. "L'gh! ugh!" he sputtered, hia face hideous tn Irs contortions. "Me do like It. Ugh! ugh!'* He glared lavagely and suspiciously ?t Molly. "Well," ?ald Molly Innocently, "I told you It wasn't good to drink. 1 | said it was bitter, but you wouldn't i holivH me." Tho Indian, too indignant to re plj, stalked out of the room. Molly watched him hurry out of the yard and disappear dow:n the road. Then ! with a glad heart she released Wes ley aud Faith from their prison. The children listened breathlessly as she told them how she had gotten rid of Scar Face. When she had tin- | lsbed, Wesley exclaimed, his pale j face flushed, his eyes sparkling. "Why, Molly, I think you are most | as brave as Pilgrim. The Raining Tree. The island of Hierro, one of the !arg?st. in I he Canary group, has re act vad its name on account of Its iron-bound soil, through which no riter or stream flows. It hau also few wells, and these not very good. But in the midst of the island there trows a tree the leaves of which aro long and narrow, and continue In constant verdure, winter and sum mer, and the branches are covered with a cloud which is never dis pelled, but resolving Itself Into u moisture, causes to fall from its leaves a clear watsr, and cisterns tc receive it ate never empty.

The Comedie Francalse, the na tional theatre of France, la the oldest Institution of its kind in the world? the oldeal, that is, in continuous ex istence. It waa founded In 1GS0 by Molicre, and Is st?hconducted according to the rules he iaid down. The number of associates, the division of prouts ac cording to talent, the internal go.e.a ment of the society, had all been ad mirably regulated by the lounder of a house which la the glory of Fie-ich dramatic art On the national holiday, July 14, and on certain other occasions, the theatre gives performances at wh.ch all the seats are free. Peopie stauet in line for hours awaiting tiie open ing of the doors. During tha year the number of free seats given away runs from 130.uuo to 150,000, representing a sum ranging from $120,000 to $160,0u0. Beikea this, students of rhetoric and of elocu tion, to the annual number of 2.U?2, assist gratuitously at the Thursday matinees, it being considered a great pr'rllege to receive this practical ex perience os the boards of the famous theatre. The Comedie receives a government subvention, but its expenses have in creased so much that it is alwayn in financial stress. Its actors and ac tresses put up with much smaller sal aries than they would receive any where else. They do It partly for the honor of belonging to the Comedie, partly because it is a life engagement; for when they are finally retired they receive a pension. What a Horse Can Do. Ho can: travel 40o yarus in four and one-half minutes at a walk, 400 yards in two minutes at a trot, 400 yards in one minute at a gallop. The usual work of a horse Is taken at 22.500 pounds raised one foot per minute for eight hours per day. A horse will carry 250 pounds twenty-five miles per day of eight hours. An average draft horse will draw 1,600 pounds twenty three miles per day on a level road, weight of wagon included. The average weight of a horse IS 1,000 pounds; his strength is equiva-. lent to that of five men. In a horse mill moving at three feet per second,' track twenty-fi.ve feet in diameter, he ?xerts with the machine the power of four and one-half horses. The great est weight a horse can pull in a horl Eontal line is 900 pounds, but he can do this only momentarily; In contin ued exertion probably half of this is the limit. The horse attains his growth In five years, will live twenty-five and aver age sixteen years. He will live twea ty-five days on water without solid; food, seventeen days without eating or drinking, but only five days on food without drinking. Egyptian Cure For Sunstroke. Travelers In Egypt must often have noticed curious scars upon the fore heads of the natives, though pernupa they have not discovered its signifi cance. It i? a sign that the man who bears it has had, or has fancied that he had, sunstroke. The formula for the malady is curi ous and typical Eastern. The victim must be laid full length upon the ground and massaged from the feet upward. The sunstroke id some form of evil genius which must be squeezed and forced into one spot. This the massage accomplishes. When the ^rnafiHeur has done his best to this end, and assumes that the virus of the enemy is all concentrated in the fore head of the patient, then the teeth of I the operator are applied to the In I fected area, and a piece of the flesh of the forehead bitten out. The strange thing is that the treat ment is said to be invariably effica cious. It may be faith cure, or It may be that the sunstroke itself was Imaginary?the cure is sure. if- ?

An Insurance amounting to ?1,000, 060 has been completed on the battle ship Inflexible, which is at present under construction on the Clyde. T'.'ls policy covers the hull, ma chinery, and boilers of the warship for two years, but does not Include the 1 guns, armameni and equipment. All the usual risks, including fire and perils incidental to the launch and trial trip, are. however, fully covered; and it is stipulated that should the v^sei not be completed within the specified time t^ere shall be an ex tension at an extra premium. The risk has been widely distribut ed among underwriters, but as It is a growing one, the full amount not at taching until the vesssi Is ready ror sea, the rate is comparatively low. Fish Flour. One of Norway's chief industries la represented by the fisheries, and quan tities of fish are sold at very low raits, particularly during summer. One way In which the.se are utilized Is by means of an invention which quick ly dries and pulverizes the flesh of fresh fish. The resulting product, called Hsh flour, is easy to transport from one place to another and has great nutritive value. A new and profitable branch of industry might b? established in America, by utilizing tlsh in this way. Silent goodness speaks loudest Wonderful Bargains!
