In the privacy of the home circle. The

, Good manners seldom come naturally
to any nial^ This is proved by Hu*
fact that they must generally he ham
mered into small hoys with a large, ro
bust cane, the flat of the ha ml or the
tear side of a hairbrush. ' As tin* boy
1 |rows to manhood he displays Ids na
tive bad manners by Veiling his wife
what he’d like to say to the tiresome
, folk who come to call and the people
who give parties which he Is expected
to attend. His early training, how
ever, prevents him from exhibiting his
had manners in public. Occasionally a
male child Is blessed with good plan
ners from birth, but he usually expires
with exceptional thoroughness shortly
tiefore or Immediately after his flfth
birthday.
Men with bad manners are generally
very successful In life because their t
competitors and opponents lose their
tem|>ers, thus making It easy for the

Department of Agriculture Given Use
ful Advice to (dub Members.
Some of the canning club girls may
not have started preparing their land
for Jtheir 1-10 acre and a part of a let
ter gotten out by the Department of
Agriculture may be of use to them.
Preparation of the Soil for Tomatoes.
“If the land was not ploughed in the
fall, plough as early in the spring an
possible and prepare it thoroughly by
harrowing and dragging. Where the
land was* ploughed* in the fall, re-
plough it in the spring—then apply
the manure and thoroughly mix it with
the soil by disking and harrowing. ,
Harrow and disk the soil as many times
as. is necessary to put it in the very
best condition and use a drag or roller
to break up the clods. Where the
land is well drained, level culture
should be practiced, but where the soil
is poorly drained, the plants should
tc set on ridges. The flatter the
ridges, the better, provided good drain
age is secured. Never use narrow
;>e&ked ridges as these dry out too
quickly/’ * ' >x
Fertilizers. *•
Even where manure is used, com
mercial ffeilizer should be applied aa
the manure will not supply all tke
elements of plant food needed. For
soil that is manured at the rate of two
to three loads on the one-tenth acre,
plat, it ia advisable to apply 10 to 2#
pounds of nitrate of soda, &0 to 100
pounds of 10 per cent phosphate and
IS to 30 pounds of muriate or owl-

Canals of..Venice.
The canals of Venice are a part of
the Adriatic sea. The city is built on
118 small islands or shoals in the gulf
of Venice. These islets are connected
by several hundred bridges, and the
direction of the canals, of which there
are nearly 200, are so formed as to con
stitute the “highways.” Thus it is due
te the situation <»f this city and not to
special intention of man that it* has |
canals instead of paved streets.
