Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYB. THE TACE THAT KILLS. A woman who has delighted thouraiids of audiences?an actress?is dying in an eastern city because of? The pace that kills. The woman wants to die. There is nothing to live for. Possibly she would commit suicide, only she is intelligent enough to know that to hasten her going would not straighten out tho tangle of her life?only complicate it. The pace that kills. There Is no denying It has Its allurements. Tread the primrose path of dalliance. Chase the) winged butterfly. Platen to the patter of the fountains. Watch the dryads dance. Eat, drink and be merry, llo, for the short life ?? n I%r\?r f 211 lli I in: IIUl'l'J The pace that kills. There's pleasure In the pace. Oh, yes! Lift high tho cup of life and drain it to the dregs. On with the Joy rides! What is life but a thing to conjure with? Give us that which brightens the eye and brings tho Hush to tho cheek and livens the feet and stirs the blood of passion. Go the pace! Aye, but there's the rub. It kills! By and by tho eyes that shone with pleasure will bo bleary; by and by the glow of cheek will turn to pallor; the hand that, without a tremor save of joj\ raised the cup will tremble In Its palsy, and tho feet that gayly tripped the measure of the dance will shuttle 011 the lloor. It kills! Some day tho rivers of fancy will lose their runnels in tho desert sands of life; some day the mirage that lures will rise and fade away. Disillusionment will come. And some day ambition and hope and heart and peace will go. Some day the money will go and there will bo tho added pinch of poverty. Tho paco docs not kill Its victim in a day. Would it might! Slowly, insidiously, gross habits will build a prison house around tho soul and life will bo narrowed down. The senses will fail to please. In satiety and bondage goes the last quarter of the homo stretch. Tho paco that kills. It is inexorable. If you dance 3*011 must pa3' the tiddler. And the pay is wrung most cruelly?by piecemeal! It is written in the good old book: 1 4 - a ? At. li ? 1 II .1t? ft j ne soui i iiiit suiiuhii it snun uiu. Tho word is truo not because it is in the book, but it is in the book because it is true! It states the unvarying law of things?as unvarying ns the law of mathematics. If you go tho pace you die. Tho pace kills. HOW MANY COURTSHIPS? Every man ought to have two courtships in Ills existence, the first, of course, when lie Is winning: his wife. Then should come the years of struggle In making money to support her and their children. Then he ought to go back to courting his wife again and showing Ills children how good a father can be. That is tho advice of James A. Patron. i tie* bi? onim?trn grain speculator, given In an interview rvnu we tho reasons why he quit tho board of trade. We bog to amend. Instead of having two courtships, a man should have hut one and that one continuous. Why should a man bury his affection in the grave of big business and resurrect it only after he has been successful In his chase after dollars? Suppose that In the interim while he Is Immersed In business the wife whom he has neglected should die? Wives do that sometimes. Dejected, lonely, yearning f >r affection, many a heartsick wife has gone to an early grave, and there is no more courting of her save at the coflin side, where the ears are dumb to the message of love and the lips can no longer smile response. Suppose the wife, neglected and practically forsaken, left without husbandly attention, should turn in her despair for consolation to another. That may mean disgrace or a divorce court scandal, and there are no more courtships coming. For Dirtlier particulars read the newspapers. Or suppose the children should die, Mr. Fatten, awaiting the time when you can show them "how good a father you can be." No. The man Is wrong, oven though he Is frank in saying what so many business men are doing nowadays to their oft time sorrow and regret. Better advice would be: Never cease courting the girl you have married, even if you must let go some of the paltry dollars. Which shall it ho: More money and less love? Or more love and less money? Why. sir, all the gold of the Yukon and all the diamonds of the Transvaal can never repay you for the lost opportunity to love and bo loved. HE KILLED HER. A young woman of Peoria, 111., committed suicide in her room at a hotel by shooting herself. She had been taken to the hotel by her lover, to whom she had surrendered her honor und all that a woman holds dear, on a promiso of marriage. He took her to the room to tell her that he was to bo married to another young woman and that their intimacy must cense. Then he left her. The shock killed her. i The pistol with which she took hor '$??&*< V. ' >/ |||?r?*v > ? * FUNGOUS POTATOES. Old Diieaa* That la Cauaad by Too Much Wot Weather. Last July and early in August we bad considerable wet weather. The potato tops suffered badly from a | blight However, the vino recovered sufficiently to mature n fair crop. All through the winter the query wus. "What makes the cooked potato have such a sweet taste?" And again on cutting the tuber a brownish streak or blotch appears all through the tuber, resembliug a marble cake. This Is sented mostly beneath where the eyes are and about one-eighth of an inch from ttie surface. The potato shows no outward sign of disease except that the eyes do uot push as rapidly on a diseased potato as they do on one free from it. These streaks are about ono inch long ana one-rourui inch wide. The query was, "What caused ttint peculiar streaking in the tuberV" In looking over a history of fungoids and fungous disease of tlie potato we find that a very similar condition existed in Ireland in 184ft, resulting in a great potato famine there. That year was a very wet year, and the natural moist climate of Ireland gave a great im petus to this disease. It has not reappeared to any great extent till last year. It bears no resemblance to the potato scab either on the tuber or the foliage. In this disease the leaves turn a brownish black color and drop off. while the stalk or stem may retain some vitality even to sending out du plicate leaves, though much smaller The disenso is. however, carried down to the tuber and is seen there as described. In dry seasons or in dry sections no alarm need be felt as to the disense spreading, but in low moist sections care should be exercised. Affected tubers should by no means bo planted. Varieties resisting blights In general are safer for planting so as to bo sure that this peculiar blight gets no hold. In some parts of Europe It is bad. and no doubt but that it has been introduced into tills country from there. A few years ago we received from England some varieties, but nothing wrong was noticed at that time. Should the disense appear on the foliage sprayings of bordeaux should be given every ten or twelve days through the season.?Natioual Stockman and Farmer. GROWING ENGLISH WALNUTS. Found to Be Capable of Doing Well In Eactern Orchards. English walnuts are a welcome addl * u ~ Hlnnot' Hill. n 11(1 UUU lu nit; ? unci uiu?iv. many of them are eaten In New England. Few are the New Englandors. however, who have ever seen Eng llsh walnuts growing. A Boston Globe correspondent sent in two photographs of walnut trees of the English variety raised in this country, with a note from the raiser of the nuts, Norman Poineroy of Lock port. N. Y. "Few people realize," wrote Mr. Pomeroy, "that English walnuts can GREEN WALNUTS. be grown extensively in the eastern part of the United States, and only by the merest accident was it found that they could be. My father, Norman Poineroy, visited the Centennial exposition and, noticing a tree in the yard , where lie boarded at Philadelphia bearing nuts, gathered about a pock of them and brought them borne with him. Some children found a small hole In the corner of the valise and got out all the nuts but seven. Those he planted, and they sent up shoots ! that grew into fine large trees, which ; bore well. Some more trees were raised from this acclimated stock, and we now have a tine young orchard, j Quite a number of our neighbors also raise walnuts from this stock." Purpose of Stirring Soil. A newly stirred soil admits the airto the roots, conserves moisture and prevents the growth of weeds. Every shower tends to seal up tho surface and exclude the air. So aim to stir up the soli after every rain. Little More Than a Bushel. A box 10 by 18 by 7^ Inches Inside measurement holds a little over a bushel of fruit. It has a cubical content of 2,100 cubic inches, whereas a standard bushel requires but 2,150.42 cubic Inches. A Good Investment. Beautiful home grounds are an investment, just as good fences, drain age, etc., are. They add to the value of the farm and to the happiness of tho family.
