Why. he couldn't he much over twenl> lire. Vei here he was looking for all the world its if the cares of a nation and a whole flock of starving orphans were upon his lone shoulders ! And how posi lively shabby the man's clothes were i for all their neat, painful cleanliness and order! Perhaps it was the ear: it certainly looked as though it might impoverish almost any one, and cer tainly anything as dubious looking as that mechanical device might cause its owner serious worry and thought and care ; might, Rosalie t houidit. with a hint of laughtei in her line gray eyes, even make one ill, physically ami otherwise! Rut Just then Doctor Brandon came j !?-, greet ilia the stranger heartily, and j Rosalie's eyes narrowed at the patent embarrassment of the young man. even while her father introduced them, an she discovered that he was the very young minister newly appointed to tlie Slcokport church. "Who's got the mumps, now. Jeff?* bluffly Joked the tired doctor as he fiddled absently with his case of medi cine, "or has some one a now set cf twins or perhaps the measles?" "Well, you see, sir," began Geof frey Harrington nervously, "that poor farmer out at the flats already has seven ? and it seems the youngest isn't at all well, and I was wondering if perhaps vou'd be willing to go out and ? " "You will not, dad," fiercely inter rupted Rosalie. "You were up nil night with that new Hennessey baby, and you know you'll never get so much as a penny, and 1 Just won't let you go away out there in this cold ? " "Then." replied the tired young man with an even sadder, wearier droop to his shoulders. "I'm afraid the baby will die. It won't eat and it cries all the time, and It never sleeps?" "Just a moment, Jeff," interrupted her father bruskly, "and I'll be with you." Rosalie heard her father trying to get the district nurse, and when be finally came out with the information that they'd have to go alone Rosalie ran for her coat and hat and a mo ment later was shivering over the cold, flat road wit'i her father shout ing questions and answers to the young minister above the roar and clatter of the rocking, clattering car. "I'm going to stay and help a while," whl?par?<l Roaalle when her father and Jeff came out ready to go. "Too come for me later, dad. will you?" and Rosalie knew a strange thrill oi gladness us Jeff eagerly offered tt come and get tier any time, and tin thought helped her as she wrestle with foiled toshes. heai>ed up laundry and uncombed, unwashed children. Never in all her life had Rosalh worked so hard or so gladly, and at -r when the early twilight was dimming the big old kitchen, now scruhhed and orderly, and the babies were bcin? served a wholesome supper of sauce milk, corn ?-:ike and cookies. Rosalie heard the bang, clatter and turmoil that heralded the approach of JelT and his auto with unfeigned gladness. As lie held her coat for tier Rosalie felt a tug at her skirt and she bent down to embrace one of the oldest o! the little -iris, who was trying to tender Rosalie m couple ??f worn shabby s I bills with the mothers admonition that this was to be "on account.' and turnini; suddenly Rosalie looked at Jeff with <]uiverln^ lips; that these people, so poor that they h:ol hardly enough to keep body and soul together, should make this pitiful ell'ort to pay a doctor's bill ol over nine years' .standing! And she had h ? II grumbling over her father's leniency ? '?'lake it ba? k to Mummy, darling, and loll her to buy you some shoes! She hasn't any account with us? not to if.? paid in money, at least !" And Rosalie pulled her hat low over ner e\es and her collar liiirh up. lest Jeff see the sudden tears that were streak ing her faee. "Tue lleatiesseys have twins." gent ly remarked the young minister as he guided the coughing, sputtering car to a standstill and turned to help llosalie out. "Twins!" gasped Rosalie. "Rut 1 thought they already had one this morning !" "Th? \ did. and they ..ave and now your lather is doing tailspins in the library because Mr. Hennessey tried to ^ive him $10 on account ? he wouldn't take it !" "11 ? wolibln't take it? win 7" gasped Rosa lie st Utteriligly . "Rem use they haven't a cent and would probably have to run a gro cery hill to pay him that uiueh' Your | father," he continued seriously, "is the :i!?'Vt wonderful man I've evi r known.

And Rosalie knew! Preserving Autographs To make indelible autographs Iliat | are w r i 1 1 ? ? 1 1 in pencil, the bureau of ? standard* stipuests spraying with the fixative us?-d by artists tor preventing the smudging of crayon and charcoal drawings. The fixative is a weak solution of blcached shellac in alcohol. The color is so pale and the tilm of shellac left on t lit? paper is so thin that it cannot be noticed. Be care ful not to close the lw?ok or turn the paires before the alcohol evaporates and the shellac loses Its tackiness Artists' supply houses sell a cheap tin sprayer, but an old atomizer for spraying the throat can be used. The solution should be well rinsed out of the tubes with alcohol if you wish to use the atomizer again. Unimaginative Two miners who had been brought up in the same village, but had long since drifted apart, met the other day. "Hello, Tom! Let's *ave a drink,'' said one. "No Jack," replied the other, who had recently come under the influence of a revival mission. ~I 'are been bom again." "What r* exclaimed Jack, looking down at the other's legs. "Born again, an' still bow-legged?" ? Weekly Scotsman. Praise of Silence Says Cnrlyle, "Silence is of eternity. Thought will not work except in si lence. Silence, the great en.pire of silence ; higher than the stars, deep er than the kingdom of death! Silence and the great silent men! A country that has none or few of these is in a bad way. It Is like a forest that baa no roots, which has all turned to leaves and boughs, which must soon wither and be no forest." Giant Kodisk Bears Kodiak island is off the southwest coast of Alaska. It is crossed by the 154th parallel. The Kodiak bear of North America has the largest size of all bears, and is the most bulkly carnivorous specimen. While possibly it Is not the heaviest.

' living things umler tin* soil, according ! to Nathan li. Smith, bacterlolo'- ot ' the United States Department of Agri culture. Under favorable conditions plowing under a large amount of green n < terinl may itn rea.se the numher of !?;.? teria as much as ten times within tw (lays, says Mr Smith. In four 1 there may be fifteen to twenty-live times the original number of ban* . ;.i in the decomposing material and ad hering soil. After about seven days the bacteria decrease in number nios" as rapidly as they increased. No change in the number of bacteria takes place In the soil one-half inch away from the decomposing material. Bacterial Decomposition. Hacterial decomposition of green ma nure gives rise to carbon dioxide ami ammonia. The carbon dioxide escape-, from the soil into the air: the am inouia is alisorhed by the soil and. through I lie art ion of bacteria, i* first changed to nitrite and then to nitrate. The greater the percentage of niiro gen in ilie green manure, other condi tions being equal, the innre nitrate will be formed from its decomposition j When crops low in nitrogen, such us 1 mature rye. are turned under very lit ' tie benefit will result for the follow Ing crop. sim*c the amount ot nitrogen ' bound up by the bacteria in decompo- j si I ion may lie greater than that ??*? tallied from the rye. I\\ ent Ually this nitrogen Is changed to nitrate, per haps too lale lor t li? - crop. Influenced by Temperature.

Most soil bac teria require a leni|?erature of r?\ ?!?. grees to To decrees l-'ahrciiht .t, :?r ofien higher, for rapid activity. Under favorable conditions succulent green manure is usually decomposed In about seven days. It has been known for many years that growing it cuv^r crop and plowing if under as a gre? n manure improves the , ?li vsical > l aracter of the soil. in creases its capacity to hold water, and helps ?o prevent erosion. The iner* growing of I- jun-' >avs Mr. Smith, has a stimulating effect upon the bac teria of the -mil. and succeeding crops t?e benefited t'vwi though the tops ? if the legumes are removed. Sweet Clover Gaining Support in Illinois Nitrogen worth frmri S'Jo.i * h u m h i to is prod wed each yi'ar In Illinois t<> the 7 ?* i.i m m ? acres of sweet clover. according to C. M. LJnsley, University of llliin-* Nitrogen is m ? led on practically all Illinois land and sweet clover is a cheap source of this plant food. Through ii^ ihmJuIos on the roots the plant gathers nitrogen from the air it -l when t he plant is plowed under or pastured down this nitrogen be comes part of the soil. The nitrogen costs 'J) to ?"*<? cents a pound if pur chased on tho market hut can he had free from the air. An acre of good ?sweet clover contains l."iO pounds of nit rogeu or enough for u 100 bushel corn crop. The spread of the crop has been r.-ipid. as in lin.lt there were only 70.* noo acres ??f sweet clover in the state :it!>l last > 1 r there wore more than ?.'iU.(NHj acres. .Maturity of Products Is Influenced by Seed The maturity of garden products Is directly Influenced hy see<l. tillage, remperature and soil conditions.

OUR RED-CLOVER SEED CROP NEEDS LONGER-TONGUED BEES v I Careful Biometric Studies Made by Russians. ? (Preparwl by tn.- rnlt?<1 Statu* Department of Agriculture.) Mow I < ? 1 1 14 tongue should a honey hoe have? In Itussia students have made careful biometric studies of bee* hi areas where there has heen rela 1 ivcly little interregional shipment of bees, and \vhcr?? the bees in any given region are fairly uniform in rate ami strain. The Kussian students lind that I he northern bees have shorter tongues than the b?**s of the south. The ex planation lies in the adaption of the hees to the conditions under which they live. In the north the bees gath er their honey supply in a relatively short season and in what the bee keepers describe as an intense honey llow. In the south the season lasts longer and the honey flow is not so in tense. The southern bee needs a long er tongue. From the standpoint of the red clover grower in the United States It might be desirable, says W. J. Nolan, of the United States Department of Agriculture, to have bees with longer tongues in the red-clover regions. He explains that the corolla tubes of the red-clover blossom are too long for the shorler-tongued honeybees who And it diflicult or impossible to gather honey from them. This tend? to re duce the visits of all but the longest tongued bees, and, consequently, many clover blossoms are not pollenized by visits of bees and do not bear seed. The races of bees most common In the United States are not exceptionally long tongued. Introduction of long tongxied bees In areas where clover seed production Is important would probably result In larger seed crope and in a larger clover-honey supply. Annual and Perennial Vegetables in Garden Any good garden has both annual and perennial vegetables. The an nuals are those that we plant every spring while the perennials are those that live over from year to year. Ex amples of the perennials are aspara gus, strawberries, rhubarb, perennial onions, etc. Now the place yoa plane these perennials wilh reference to the rest ??f the sarden is important. Ite membcr I i*:it these gardens have to be plowed every year If a row ??f perennials is planted across the mid dle of i In* garden, the short way, it is going t<> make plowing dillicult. In this case the chances arc that they will he plowed up. To avoid this diffi culty all vegetables that are to remain In the ground for more than one sea son should be planted along the side of the garden space, that Is. the side running the long way. When located here they cause the least interference with I he plowing of the ground. Sudan Grass Is Useful for Midsummer Pasture Summer pasture problems have been met at the Hamilton county (Ohio) experiment station by using sudan grass for midsummer pasture fol lowed by sweet clover. The sudan is sown about June 1 and pastured from July 15 to August 30. 1-ast year seven acres of sudan carried '.?! cows. Sep tember found the new sweet clover ready for pasture. Ten acres of sweei clover growing In wheat stubble was used for the pasture of the 22 cows until they were stabled in the latter part of October. There was still con siderable sweet clover remaining whea the cows went to the barn. The blue grass pastures were acces sible to the herd all summer but most of the pasture in latter part came from the supplemental pastures. This method makes ose of the different kinds of pasture at the time of the year they are most abundant. Animal or Vegetable Oils Used on Harness i Harness and leather experts gener ally agree that only animal or vegeta ble oils should be used on harness, and are of the opinion that petroleum oils are likely to do more harm than good. The old stand-bys were whale oil and cod oil ; but uow they usually recom mend neat's-foot oil or half neat's-foot oil and tallow melted together and ap plied warm but not hot. A good har ness oil bought from a reliable Arm la safe and usually just as cheap.

Nothing compares with it as a gentle but certain laxative, and it goes further than this. It regulates the stomach and bowels and gives tone and strength to these organs so they continue to act nor mally, of their own accord.
