A RESOURCEFUL MAID.
How 8he Brought Her Father to Her
Way of Thinking.
She was in love with a young doc-
"He's quite impossible!" cried her
toother, when informed of it.
. "Out of the question," asserted
her father.
"He has fine prospects," insisted
the girl.
, "You can't live on prospects."
said the father.
;' The next day she was ill.
: "I can see nothing wrong," said
the physician who was called to at
tend her.
Nevertheless he left a prescrip
tion, but it seemed to do no good.
The symptoms she described were
conflicting and confusing.
". "It's very strange," said the phy
sician. ""' flf you do not, understand the
case we must get some one who
does," said the mother.
So, after a week or more of ex
perimenting, another physician was
called in.
"A trifling indisposition," said
the second physician. "I'll have her
all right in a day or so."
But in a day or so she had him
puzzled. Her lover had told her
now to do it.
"Every time I see her," said the
second physician, "there seems to be
some new complication. I can't
find, anything radically wrong, but
her statements certainly show that
she is not all right."
By this time the father and moth
er were worried, and they sent for a
pecialist. The latter looked wise,
but he met with no greater success
than the two who had preceded him,
although bis bill was considerably
larger.
The father had just seen the bill
when the girl called to him.
"I fear," Bhe said wearily, "that
this trouble is going to continue in
definitely. Don't you think it would
be wise to have a physician in the
family r
The father looked at her suspi
ciously.
"Perhaps it would, he admitted.
"And it's so easy to have one,"
she persisted.
"Arrange it to suit yourself," he
said resignedly, for he was a man
who knew when he was beaten.
The next day she was able to sit
up, and the day after she had en
tirely recovered. But the father
continued to look at her reproach
fully to the day of the wedding.
The Sting of the Nettle.
The leaf and stem of a nettle are
literally clothed with erect hollow
hairs. If one of these hairs is view
ed under a microscope, it will be
seen that its free end, after taper-
inir to a very fine degree of slimness,
finishes as a little knob, while in
the other direction, after gradually
becoming more robust, it suddenly
exnands into a large bulb, corre
sponding with the poison gland of
the adder.
The noint of the hair is very brit
tle, and contact with our skin caus-
m h er.( to snap on, leaving a
hollow net-die point which readily
pierces our cuticle, and pressing up
on the bulb at the other end the
poison is forced through the cen-
tral channel ana lnnames our un.
The tender handed who stroke the
nettle are stung for their pains, be
cause their gentleness has only serv
ed to break the brittle poinis suu
render them fit for piercing, but
the rough handed break the hairs
at'their thickest parts, where they
are too stout to prick.

and rocked and waited, watch In hand,

Into a pair of tight, narrow, thin soled

"Fifty yenrs ago," she continued, "It

ing woman's staylaee, hut only last
week I discovered that when the twen
tieth century girl threatens to faint the
shortest cut to her restoration is by
severing her shoe string.
"It was during the shopping hours

had pulled off her tight shoes and her
stockings, aud, taking her bruised, ice
cold extremities Into my lap, I sat on
the floor and massaged the blood back
Into them. The poor child simply sat
up and cried, with relief.
"When the faint feeling was over and
her spirits In a measure restored, I
gave her a generous piece of my mind.
"I threatened her with nervous col
lapse, chronic dyspepsia, spinal neu

cense wearing those abominable little
shoes, and I can assure you I was not

ONION SETS.
Hew
They Are Qmwi mm
Leti-sT
Seale fmr Market.
Growing onions sets on a commercial
scale is a leading Industry In many
sections of the market garden region
around Chicago. Orange J add Farmer
describes the practice of one of the
largest onion growers of tne Riverdale
region who plants about eighty acres
to this crop.
The ground la prepared carefully In
the spring as soon as It can be worked.
It is thoroughly pulverized and the
seed bed lined, so that there are no
clods of any character. The seed is
sowed with the ordinary garden drill In
OKIOS sat CBATXS with ixat Hoor,
rows about eighteen inches apart
From eighty to a hundred pounds of
seed per sere are used.
After seeding of course it Is a big
task to keep the onions free from
weeds. A garden wheel hoe is used to
clean out the spaces between the rows,
but a large amount of band weeding is
also necessary. Boys and girls from
the neighboring towns are employed.
Ked onion seed Is used where sets are
to be sent to the west and south. If
the sets are to be shipped to seedsmen
in the east white seed is need. . ,
The crop is ready for pulling when
the stem next the pulp has wilted
slightly. The young onions will be
about the size of a large baselnut,
sometimes a little larger and quite fre
quently a great deal smaller. They
should be sufficiently mature, so that
whea they are larger they will shrink
quite a little. The onions are pulled by
hand. As a rale 8 cents per bushel is
paid for pulling the onions, twisting
the tons and delivering them-to the
sereener. Some gardener pay as Ugh
as 8 cents. .z-fX'-k-' v
After the sets are pulled and the tops
twisted off they are screened to get rid
of the dirt and coarser rubbish. Then
they are placed in crates 3 by 8H or 4
feet and 4 Inches deep, stacked up in
the fields and covered to keep the
rains off. In many eases the sets are
allowed to remain in the Held for two
or three months until they are thor
oughly dried out Then they are taken
to the fanning mill, where they are
cleaned and sorted. They are then put
In sacks or bags and sent direct to the
seedsman. , .. ,.
The other plan la to pile the crates
up In the field until the harvest season
is over; then when the last onion set
O0 OBATSB WITH CUBU BOOS1
has been pulled the seta, "still quite
green, are run through the fanning
mill, cleaned and sorted. They are
then placed In crates, and these crates
are stacked In large storage houses,
where they remain until the demand
of the trade requires that they be
ahlppedout i ? .-' 'ti'fi,
As a rule these large growers sell
their sets to seed houses In different
parts of the country. This grower
ships principally to Texas and Okla
homa. Other growers ship to Colorado,
Kanaaa, Montana and Nebraska, while
still others ahlp east supplying some
of the seed dealers in the middle and

THE BROWN SWISS COW.

The illustration shows a highly
prized . Brown Swiss cow, Mascot of
which a writer la Rural New Yorker
says: "She is seven years old sad has
without doubt won more laurels than
any one of her class. She is one of
eight of tbe same breed just imported

Brown Swiss cattle are fast taking
first places In milk and butter quali
ties and are almost equally valuable
for beef raising, being unlike nearly
every other breed, possessing ,ie ex
cellent qualities for beef aa well as by
products. They have been raised end

ing ground steadily year by year to
ward a high standard of excellence, un
til today tbe breeders are sble to place
before tbe world a blood with no trace
of Inferiority, ranking along with the
best known breeds throughout the
world. These cattle are without doubt
the most hearty and vigorous of say
breed known, keeping in excellent flesh
even while producing a good flow of
milk. They possess strong constitu

cattle in this country have made most
amazing records. Some have reached
seventy pounds of milk per day and
from eighteen to twenty-two pounds
of butter per week. Their, average
butter fat reeord test Is 4 per cent Tbe
writer observed one cow la this partic
ular herd that with aa average butter
fat test of 8H per cent produced a now
of milk of aUty-flve pounds per day.
The Brown Swiss Brlns after having
won tbe first medal at the Paris expo
sition In quantity and quality ot milk
over all breeds competed with the fa
mous Shorthorns of England, tbe Hoi
stems of Holland as well as the Chan
nel Island breeds.
The calves of these cattle denote
great Ufa and vitality, weighing many
times st birth 125 pounds. Tbe writer
also observed one calf only three end a
half months old tipping the scales st
400 pounds. They are of a Ugnt steel
gray color when young, but darken te
a fawn color as they gradually reach
maturity. For veal growing they build

average a large else when bora. Increas

SOME QUEER LAKES.
One of the Oddeet of the Let I the
Pitch Lake of Trinldse.
One of the mot singular lakes in
the world is the celebrated pitch
lake of the island of Trinidad. This
lake spreads over an area of ninety-
nine acres, and its surface to com
posed of one great floating masa of
asphaltum, seamed with reins of
clear water. From it and a similar
lake in Veneruela the world's supply
of asphalt is drawn, says the Wash
ington Tost
The pitch lake is a hideous plans
ss far as smells are concerned, for
the air all about it is heavy with
noxious vapors, and from the cen
ter of the lake gunh.es a fountain of
liquid asphaltum, in which there
float and break bubbles containing
most horrible gase.
The workmen go out on the sur
face of this lake and cut great slabs
of asphaltum, which are carried
away. But the next morning the
hole they left is filled np again with
the pitch which has risen during the
night, so that the supply seems to
be inexhaustible. '
This curious lake was discovered
by Sir Walter Raleigh when he land
ed on iTinidad In 1585, on bis way
to the mouth of the Orinoco in
search of El Dorado.
Another strange lake is situated
on a peninsula which juts out into
the Caspian sea. The whole surface
of this lake is covered with a crust
of salt so thick and strong that a
man can ride across it on horseback
with safety. .
In central Asia, near the Caspian
sea, is a lake of beautiful rose color,
while the banks are covered with
salt crystals as white as snow. From
the waters of this lake there arises
a flowerlike odor. The color and the
odor are supposed to be caused by
vegetable matter in tne depths, ,
There used to be a carious lake on
the top of the Volcano de Ague, in
Uuatemala, 14,000 feet above toe
level of the sea. It was not fed by
springs or by rivers, but iu caused
by accumulations of snow and rain
-in fact, was an immense reservoir.
It lasted for centuries. Then, one
day, the sides of the lake gave way,
and down the waters rolled, dealing
death and destruction, and digging
a great barranca, or ravine, in the
mountain tide, which is still visible.
John was very crestfallen indeed,
and had promised his wife that nev

Yes, I know," sighed the good
lady, -but I'm getting to doubt your

There wss once a romantic damsel
whose cup of Joy was filled when she
met a man named Horatio Engel
eourt Uanseville de Breed.
"What a magnificent nemeP she
sighed. "Ah, tbe grandeur of It I
Hit were but miner
And so she set bar can at him.
In time he wss hers, and ths only
time she aver addressed him by bit
fall name was whea she pat it on the
envelopes containing her passionate
letter. . In the letters and in beg
daily speech she called him Too

This shows that there is much fat
s name until we decide upon a more
appropriate one. .
