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.

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 Atlantic states. This branch of mar ket gardening la a profitable one, tak ing one season with another, but re quire the most careful management Whets tm Cat Caen Wmm WmmAmr. ' Borne years ago Professor Hunt of Pennsylvania made three cuttings of corn for fodder. The first was Sept 1 and 2, when leaves and bosks were green and the kernel was mostly in the roasting ear stage. The .second cutting was made Sept 2S, when a few of toe lower leaves were dead, bet tne beaks were still green. The kernels on about three-fourths of the ears were dented. On some ears they were quite bard and on others still nnglssed, Tne third cutting wss made Oct 7 and S, when two-thirds of the leaves were dead and the kernels mostly hard.

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.
