A charming French woman was the guest of a New York family at a pop ular roof garden. . As the orchestra was finishing a number she asked one of the gentle men in the party who had been one of her most devoted admirers: "What is zat ze musicians are play lr.fr ? - o "Love Me and the World Is Mine," replied the man.

When Enrico Caruso, was in Atlanta a few days ago he sang to the prison ers in the federal penitentiary three songs, Including his "Sob Song" from "Pagliacci." After hearing Caruso, Julian Hawthorne, now convict No. 4435, wrote a poem, a few lines of which run thus: "Then, in the hush of the great blank hall, God wrought a wondrous miracle. For a voice like a glorious trumpet call Arose as a soul from the deeps or hell. And our souls rose with it on won drous wings, Rose from their prison of iron and clay, Forgot the grime and the shame of things! We were men once again in a sun lit day, Sin and grief and punishment all Were lost ra that human trumpet call." r In Summer When the body needs but little food, that little should be appetizing nourishing.

A. ,JEuL $bUL - vfsF llJklIiCul I : j ONs of the HE Coast Range culminates in the peaks of San Gorgonio and San Bernardino of the San Bernardino mountains, with San Antonio and San Jacinto only a little lower on either side. Then the range makes a decided drop to the south and shows heights of quite a different character, with blunt tops instead of sharp peaks. Palomar and Cajon mountains are bold and conspicuous but not high, as moun tains on the coast go. Still farther south, however, in the peninsula of Lower California, the range makes an other lunge upward and produces the great San Pedro Martir mountain, more than nine thousand feet high. That is its last great effort, for in its more southern reaches it is much broken, with plenty of peaks, to be sure, but no high ones. While some of the mountains of the upper part of the range are higher than San Pedro Martir, none other presents so huge a bulk. Seen from San Telmo, It is an unbroken wall forty or fifty miles long, which at the north pnrt Is flrnt nut Anven ehnrnl and then beyond is almost comple demolished, as mountains rank; and the south end is torn into gaps has had its crest knocked off. There are two picachos, sh needlelike, of pure white granite, they are so near the eastern sid the mountain that they cannot be ff at all from the west, and not from south till one has reached San J De Dlos, then they appear poin heavenward, shining white like g icebergs. Almost Perpendicular. The western side of the mountai abrupt, with very few places when may be climbed, but the eastern Is still more so and makes an alrf perpendicular drop to the desert that side one may descend, in scarf more than an hour's time, from e and freezing temperature to a where the sun is warm and birds nesting. And then from beneath the feathery crowns of tropical palms he may look back to where, almost di rectly overhead, stand the rugged pines he has just left. It is miles across the top from east to west, and with its great length the dimensions of the mountain are such as to almost entitle it to be called a high tableland, with hills and valleys and streams of its own. As it is high enough to catch winter snows and Eummer rains, the pasturage on the top is always good, and when the low er lands between the mountain and the Pacific are parched with drought here is a haven for starving herds. They come from as far away as San Juan De Dios and grow fat on the sweet grasses and the delightfully cool summer air. When winter grips the mountain, however, the herds must descend, for then the climate is too rigorous to be borne without suf ficient shelter. The cattle and horses are not the only ones that grow fat from a sum mer residence on San Pedro; the herd ers also are in clover, for the great forests are the home of innumerable deer, and bighorn as well, though not in so great numbers as the deer. Two Mexican friends of mine who were tending a herd of cattle on the sum mit, in two weeks shot fifty deer and might easily have shot more, but they could not take care of and transport any more jerked meat. Another man had a standing offer from a San Francisco firm of $25 for every head of a male bighorn, and he shipped a good many. That traffic of course was stopped when Mexican law declared a closed season for mountain sheep. It was high time, too, for they were wantonly destroyed, sometimes not even for their heads and skins, but merely for the pleasure of slaugh ter. I think if American nimrods had understood how easily those marvel ous hunting grounds might be reached by boat to San Quintin, where an effi cient Mexican guide with excellent saddle and pack mules was to be pro Camps cured, the slaughter would have pro ceeded more merrily still. I heard of one American, and he from distant Boston, who had discovered this hunt er's El Dorado, and who made peri odical trips to It. That .was before Mexico, in fear of in9urrectos, forbade the importation of firearms into the peninsula. It is not strange that San Pedro should harbor so much game, for it is the only really wooded mountain on the peninsula, and the timber here is very fine. Deer and bighorn are not the only game; other animals there are, not so harmless, and that may even play the roll of hunter in stead of hunted. Mountain lions are so numerous that young colts, which they 'consider the most delicious of tidbits, have a hard time trying to be come horses. A man living on the western slope of the mountain showed me a corral fully five feet high from which a mountain lion took a three-year-old filly, leaping the fence with ease with the colt in his mouth, and dragging the carcass a mile up the "JjhJfaQiiftEiul hi Hilled .re he iy rt. Lie er lex- ch 11, lis an its lich ess find the bth nee liny I in And as the mountain acts as a barrier to check the rains that come in from the Pacific, the strip of land between San Pedro and the Gulf of California remains absolute desert. On the western slope, however, the streams flow with greater assurance. One of them Is turned from its chaa nel and is carried along the skirt of the mountain for twenty miles to wash the gold from the Boil of Socor ro. San Antonio creek is a fairly typical mountain stream, a rushing little river, flowing through its own dense growth of alders and alamos. It proves the mountain quality of its water, too, by sheltering speckled trout that reach the very respectable size of twelve inches. In one fertile little cove in its deep, rocky canyon it nourishes an oasis ol really tropical verdure, a tiny half moon of land set thick with fig, grape and peach, where Jack Frost never intrudes. Earns $2 to Rescue Dog. Peter Battinell, thirteen years old, of Stamford, Conn., owns a dog, ol which he is very fond. Peter's par ents neglected to license the animal, and it fell in the hands of the dog warden, who impounded it. When Peter learned that his dog was in pound he went to the dog warden and tearfully begged that the dog be not killed. "I'll earn the money to pay for the license," he promised. The dog warden told the boy to go ahead and earn the money, and a fev days later he appeared with the $2 and received a license. He took the dog away with him. He had earned the money by doing errands and mowing lawns. The New Congressman. "Well, how's being a congressman?" "Not what it's cracked up to be. Been in congress nearly three months now, and ain't been able to get on no junket to the Panama canal." TOOLS FOR A GARDEN Implements Are Demanded for. Proper Cultivation. Old-Fashioned Hoe and Rake Will Not Supply All the Needs of the Up-to-Date Gardener Some Good Ones Are Illustrated. (By C. S. MILLER.) The growing of vegetables and fruit has become so important that im proved tools are now demanded for proper cultivation. In order to get the very best results cultivation must be carried to the limit and the old fashioned hoe and rake will not sup ply all the needs of the up-to-date gardener. Those shown in the accompanying picture are all extremely useful, and as they cost but a trifle nobody who expects to do the best work in a gar den can afford to be without them. No. 1 is the hoe, and is remarkable for the great number of uses to which it can be put In both field and garden. - No. 2 is especially useful for cover ing seeds and for heavy weeding. No. 3 is a combined hoe and rake and enables the operator to do either hoeing or raking without laying aside one tool and' taking up the other. No. 4 Is a hand weeder to scratch weeds out of flower beds and pots. No. 5 is one of the most useful tools that can be used. It Is extremely Improved Garden Tools. useful, not only in spading, but In cutting out weeds close to large plants and trimming walks and beds. No. 6 Is a handy litttle tool about the flower bed. You can transplant, pulverize and mix earth preparatory to planting, loosen the earth about plants and do numerous other things with it LESS WORK FOR HOUSEWIFE Introduction of Modern Engine Thresher Takes Many Burdens From' Shoulders of Women. The work of the farm housewife has been greatly lessened by the use of engine threshers. Formerly when farmers went about from one farm to another, helping each other to thresh the grain, the farm-wife was com pelled to cook for gangs of men, often for days at a time, and with seldom sufficient help, her lot was Indeed a hard one. Now, the owner of an en gine thresher rides about the country during the summer days making hl3 threshing contracts. In the fall he or ganizes his , force and starts on his rounds he provides all the men nec essary, takes along a tent, employs a cook and relieves the farmer and his family of all work in connection with threshing. A counting machine regis ters the number of bushels turned out, and when his work is ended he receives the farmer's check for his services, hooks up his teams to the traction engines and goes on to the next field. Clover Bloat. Bloat In cattle generally comes as the result of pasturing clover, though it is a fact that in some cases ordi nary grass pasture will produce the same results if it i3 rank when cattle that have not been used to it are turn ed in. The importancfi of getting cat tle used to clover while it is dry can not be overemphasized. It may be necessary in some in stances to turn them in for an hour or two only during the middle of the day, and continue this for two or three days, so that the ravenous edge for the new clover Is taken off their appetites. Under no circumstances should they be turned from a dry lot when they are hungry into a clover field. Looking to the Pedigree. Look at the pedigree of the stallion you patronize, and If it is not Issued by one of the recognized registry as sociations don't use that horse. Many farmers will contend that a grade horse that is a good looker Is Just as good for a sire as a pure-bred, and expense is much lighter. Some of the handsomest, soundest and most perfect horses are grades, and, while they are splendid animals for use, they are unsuitable to breed to. Every grade has a yellow Btreak in him, and this is just as likely to show as his good qualities. Good Bedding for Horses. A good way to keep a horse clean In the stable is to clean out all dirt, etc., and then cover the floor about three or four inches thick with dry sawdust, as far back in stall as the horse usually stands, then cover the sawdust with, straw, or bedding that you may use. The sawdust will ab sorb the moisture, and therefore make the other bedding last longer In case it is scaroe. The sawdust should be replaced by fresh occasionally. SUPPLEMENT TO A PASTURE Feeding Corn Silage Is Most Economl' cal Method of Supplying Feed to Help Out Pasture. (By R. Q. WEATHERSTONE.) Green crops fed as a supplement to pasture may be fed in the pasture or in the barn lot but as a. rule are fed most economically in the barn. The cows remain inside long enough at milking time to eat their portions. As a rule the most economical method of supplying feed to help out the short pastures of midsummer and fall is to feed corn silage. Silage will keep in good condition for summer feeding with no loss except on the surface. If it is riot needed during the summer, it may be covered with the new silage and kept until wanted. Corn furnishes a larger yield of dry matter per acre than any crop that can be ordinarily grown for summer feeding, and has the further advan tage of being on hand as early as wanted. It is handled more economically also than soiling crops since it is cut all at once and not every day as is neces sary with soiling crops. It should be remembered that it Is only possible to feed a bunch of cows economically when they are fed as Individuals and not as a herd. A too commqn practice, even in the otherwise well conducted herds, is for all animals to be fed the same amount of grain, regardless of the time they have been in milk or the quantity of milk the individual cows, are produc ing. Such feeding always lacks econ omy, as the high producing-cow does not get enough, and while she may milk very well for a time, she soon comes down to a lower level, while the lighter producing cow usually gets too much feed and accumulates fat MAKE-UP OF JERSEY CATTLE Breed Attracts Notice by "Dairy" Type of Their Bodily Conforma tion Some of Characteristics. (By R. M. GOW.) The characteristics which mark the present race of Jersey cattle are known to have been notable and prom inent In the breed at least one hun dred and fifty years ago, so that now they have become thoroughly "fixed," sure to be inherited by their progeny, thus affording the breeder a sure foun dation for further development. The main external characteristics of the Jerseys are the beautiful softness of the various tints of fawn and gray in their coats of hair; their gracefully formed deer-like limbs; their neat, in curving horns, large limped eyes, small heads and delicate noses; their bright, attractive and intelligent faces ; their soft yellow skin, long tails and Eurotas, 2454. Record for One Year, 778 Pounds of Butter. well-developed switches; their full, rounded-out udders, straight backs, and the fine proportions of their gen eral conformation. The Jersey cow looks the high-bred lady of the cattle race. Well-developed male animals should weight from 1400 pounds to 1800 pounds, and females, from 750 to 1200 pounds. Above all else, Jerseys at tract notice by the "dairy" type of their bodily conformation, by their large and well-formed udders, and prominent milk-veins. In color they are of various shades of soft fawn, from red to silvery, with more or less white, broken color being unobjection able except from the standpoint of in dividual taste. Dairy Note-s A silo will pay for itself in one year. Be sure that the calves are started right A farmer owning six cows should have a silo. , Be sure that the temperature of the milk is right. It is not possible to grow too much forage on a dairy farm. A comfortable stable reduces the cost of maintenance and increases the flow of milk. Feed regularly, not too much at a time, and young calves at least foui times a, day. Nothing can be marketed on the farm so successfully or so economi cally as butter. The dairyman who does not keep an individual record of his cows is not an up-to-date dairyman. If the mow Is nearly empty and the feed low in the bin, don't cut down the rations of the cows. The dairy farm that is stocked to Its full capacity without being overstock ed is a pretty safe investment When an animal forms a habit, either good or bad, that habit is a part of its life as long as it Jives. Draining the butter well before salt ing is one of the little things that makes for a better quality of product. Experiments have proven the aver age milk cow requires about an ounce of salt per day. Heavy milkers should have more. " Success does not He in the number of cows the dairyman keeps, but in the kind he keeps and the way he keeps them.
