Jane Seymour* * Ghost
Haunts Hampton Court
In a recent article by Alberic Cahuet
dn "The Ghosts of Fontalneblean,"
published In L'lllustratlon (Paris), ac
cording to a translation In the Kansas
City Star, the writer said;
"In England, at Hampton Court, It
Is admitted that Jane Seymour, third
wife of Henry VIII, comes back In
the dead of night to wander through
the corridors. Her ghost—a wraith
with disheveled hair outlined in white
light—has been seen, it Is declared,
OH the' little stairway which leads to'
the private apartment once occupied
by the, young queen. It Is even
claimed that the apparition has been
photographed witness the souvenir
postcards sold by the caretaker at the
castle."
It Is frankly admitted that the post
card is Intended simply to show what
Jane's wraith looks like when It la
photographed.
It wllh be renjembered that Jane
Seymour, Henry Vlil's third wife, was
married by this Bluebeard monarch
the day after the execution of his sec
ond wife, Anne Boleyn, In May, 1£36.
Jane Seymour was ihenrbarely twenty
years oI AT Hamptfin Court is one of
the largest of the royal palaces of
England, Is of brick with crenellated
walls, and was built by Cardinal W.ol
sey In 1515 as a gift to Henry VIII.
More than eight hundred of the thou
sand-odd rooms are today occupied by
members of the British aristocracy
who are lodged there gratuitously by
th'e crown. It would appear from
this that If the ghost of poor Jane
Seymour still haunts the corridors of
Hampton Court It runs the risk of en
countering plenty of living persons.
Chewing Gum Industry
Demands Lots of Mint
Gum-chewers have so Increased In
numbers that the demand for flavor
ing extract for the gum results in a
constantly Increasing price therefor.
The acreage In the production of the
plant In >two Michigan counties ex
ceeds 4,000 acres. '
Peppermint as' a flavor is today in
great demand everywhere. The pep
permint men say this is largely, owing
to Its use In the manufacture of chew
ing gum. Oil of peppermint Is now
also to test steam boilers.
If the odor of the oil escapes It indi
cates that the boiler Is unsafe. A
boiler that will hold the smell of the
oil Is said to be capable of holding any
pressure to which it is ordinarily sub
jected.'
Peppermint is raised on marsh land
formerly given over entirely to the
production of hay. This land, form
erly worth from $1 to $lO an acre,
now brings SIOO to S2OQ an acre. The
land is used over and over again for
the jame'kind of a crop without rota
tion, though murlated potash Is em
ployed to maintain the soil in the de
sired state of fertility. In September
the crop Is cut with a mowing ma
chine.
Rescuing the Oldest Bible.
The modern art of the camera has
come to rescue the oldest known Bible
from the Inevitable deterioration of
the years. Portions of this Bible be
longing to the University- of Michigan
are being photographed, partly to pre
serve the disintegrating fragments and
partly to ppt the fading papyrus in a
substantial form available for study.
Only two professors have access to the
fragments. One of them, Doctor San
ders, spent eighteen days pfeclng to
gether one of the pages photographed.
Feeds Chickens" Before Self
At the recent Country Life confer
ence held in St Louis a moving pic
ture film was shown of a. farm boy
and his prize flock of chickens. ThfiL>
birds were fine because the boy had a
scientific knowledge of chicken culture
and had applied his knowledge to the
care of his flock. But the boy was a
mouth breather and f showed further
effects of malnutrition. The chickens
were better cared for than the boy.
Old French Farming Families
The Merlte Agricole la to be con
tilled too same soil for three cen
turies. There are 750 such families In
France. One family has held the same
land, since the reign of Charlemagne.
Another family at Colombea, near Gap,
baa worked Its farm for 1,000 years.

Business English Is
Growing Much Better
Business English Is growing better.
So says Mrs, Alt a Ounn Saunders, di
rector of business English work at the
University of Illinois. She believes
the English of sales letters has reached
a standard as high as the general
ctanda'rd -In advertising and in Jour
nalism. - .
To her way of thinking awkward
ness and crudities of style are disap
pearing. She sees greater considera
tion for the article quality of the de
scriptive and narrative parts of let
ters. Slang, colloquialisms or slouchy
English she would not have —she likes
her English "moral, social and artis
tic." Evolving Is "a free,. plain,
trandesmanllke style becoming to the
nature of Its subject matter."
But where shall we tap the source
of that style? Familiar Is the sign
"Tradesman's Entrance." Under that
sign Is a portal to give admittance
to the crisp speeches of batchers,
bakers and candlestick makers —men
of Importance with scant time to dress
words In ceremonies, of speech. From
Aem come no "stereotyped and Inflated
diction," condemned by Mrs. Saunders.
Their words get up and walk around
In our ears. Their words carry the
tang and savor of their business. Pos
sibly It might be desirable to denature
the raw raaterialrof their conversa
tions before drawing upon them for
letters, but if men's .minds aw*to be
spaded for a crop of sales, success Will
be no nearer for calling the spade an
"oblong Instrument of manual hus
bandry."—Nation's Business. *
New York Woman Acts
as Surgeon for Birds
Acting as a surgeon for birds is the
occupation of a New York woman who
performs operations upon her feath
ered charges and carea for their vari
ous ills. Rheumatism, Indigestion and
fevers are some of the ailments she
has treated. Surgical operations are
performed in a completely equipped
room on the third floor of the hos
pital she maintains. With several as
sistants, she Is called upon to minister
to the needs of more than 2,000 birds In
the summer months when families
leave for vacations and bring - their
pets to be "boarded" in the wards of
the hospital while they are gone. The
4)lrds like to be amused and show in
teresting characteristics, their keeper
declares. Balls, beads and ribbons
hung from the cages keep them from
pulling out their plumage and music
from a phonograph aeems to cheer
them when their own songs are si
lenced. —Popular Mechanics.
Albino Partridge Bagged
An Albino partridge, mounted, Is ex
hibited here by George Suggs and Al
bert Ro'untree. Shot some miles from
this city, It was one of a covey, tiOn
ventlonally covered, but was the only
white bird In the flock, says a Kings
ton (N. O.) dispatch to the New York
World. It is almost entirely white, a
few feather tips only showing the fa
miliar brown of the species.
The bird has aroused keen Interest
on the part of Bugene Wood, the cor
oner and noted sportsman, who last
year claimed' to have discovered a
fleck of white crows near Grifton.
Chickens Dig Gold
Using her chickens as gold diggers,
Mrs. Robert Rankin of Yreka, CaL, has
a collection of gold nuggets ranging
in size from that of a pinhaad ta a
buckshot which she has taken from
the craws of the chickens. The Ban
kin home is northwest of Yreka, where
placer gold is often found on the sur
face of the ground, jnd where am
bitious boys and girls can sometimes
pan out enough "dust" to supply them
with pocket money.
Same Knife and Fork
In every meal but three In the last
thirty-two years. A. EL Flinn of Luray,
Va., haa used the same knife and fork.
Both the knife and fork war* found
by Mr. Flinn, one in the east and of
Luray and the other In the west end
of the town. The, knife and fork have
almost been worn out of all semblance
of themselves, but It wou)d require a
fabulous price for the owner to part
with them.

Machines Aid Surgery
At the recent convention of tin
American Coll ef* of Surgeons at Chi
cago, Dr. Fred H. Albee of New York,
an authority on reconstroctional surg
ery, in tailing about machine-driven
surgical Instruments, said:
"One of the best points about auto
matic machine-driven surgical toolstls
that they reduce the shock of opera
tion, because of the speed. This may
be aranpllfled by the fact that a mail
when shot with a steel-Jacketed, swift
ly moving bullet, often does not realise
,he Is shot until the blood begins to
flow. But when a mas la shot with
a slowly moving, soft-nosed bullet, he
Is knocked down, so violent Is- the
•shock.
"The same thing . applies hi opera
tions when mallet and chisel are used.
There the shock Is vastly greater than
when the cutting
swiftly and surely, cutting the bouse
to a true size. Holes are cut to the
right alee and dowela of living bOM
are made to fit exactly."
Mars Coming Close
The moat important astronomlßal
event scheduled for 1924 is the nasi
opposition of Mars next August Ev
ery fifteen or seventeen years the op>
position of Man occurs when the planet
is not far from perihelion, -or the paint
in its orbit nearest the sun. Tbs
planet is then about *8,000,000 mi lea
nearer to the earth than it la at its
isost distant opposition, which occurs
when it la near aphelion, or the point
farthest from the sun. The last closs
opposition of Mars occurred in Septem
ber, 1000, whq» Mars came within 36,-
153,000 miles of the earth. Off August
22 of this year, a few hours before it
comes into opposition with the son.
Mars will be at a distance of BMBO,*
000 miles from the earth, which ir
very nearly, if not quite, as dose as
It can ever come to the. earth, and
about one and a half million allies
nearer than it was fifteen years ago.
Composer of "The Rosary^ t \
Ethelbert Nevin composed "Th«
Rosary." He was born in Vineacre
near Plttaburgh, Pa., in 1862. He be
gan to attract attention «U tea
years old by hla excellent pianrf play

sent to Dresden, Germany, to study.
After returning from Germany 1M
settled in Boston and became m well
known teacher and concert player, bsl
in 1893 the charm of. Europe, es
pecially Italy, was too strong to be re
sisted, and the next seven years wet*

tone of much of his later music. Is

Few modem composers have ex
celled Nevln fn perfection of melody,
critics say. While "The Rosary" Is Ml
masterpiece, "Narcissus" has recelwsi
no small amount of popularity. Othei
compositions by Nevln are "Watsi

Man and Wife as Friends
The Idea of married luuptea having
merely a acquaintance with
one another Is. not so new' after all.
A German expedition dug op tablets

parents rather than with her husband.
But her husband svas not without his

Sftys. Prehistoric, Birds
of Kaneas Had Teeth
Birds -once had teeth, Vat It was a
long, long' time ago. Infact, It was
In .that period-of the earth's history
when much of North America was
cowered, by btoad> ahaUow seas that
were. doited with lew and almost bar
tan Islands.. And. upon these Islands
rested some of the strangest of all the
thousands of odd creatures that have
lived In past ages—birds that could not
walk, and that had long beaks, armed
with sharp teeth. These birds, de
scribed In Science and Invention by
Oarroll Lane Hhton, department of
paleontology. University of Michigan,
are known from their skeletons, which
have been preserved and turned Into
stone In the chalk beds of western
Hesperornls, the western bird, u
tbls ancient £wsller of Kansas has
been called, measured nearly live feet
from tip to tip of bis beak to the tip
of bla toes. In shape be was a good
deal like the black and white loon, or
bell diver of modern rivers and lakes,
bat, • unlike that bfcrd, he swam by
means of his legs and feet alone, never
trying to ose wings.
| Indeed, he could hardly have done
so, for after ages of disuse, his wings
bad disappeared entirely, and there re
mained but a few bones to show where
they once had been. But stout legs
and paddle-like feet were all he need
ed to get about, either on the surface
or below. His body was shaped like a
submarine, while his neck had the driv
ing force of a heron's. Once a fish
was caught in the bird's long beak with
Its backwardly directed teeth, it bad
no chance to escape.

FARMING
It is to Produce Salable Products.
Raleigh, Uarcl. 18.—Where
does marketing begin ? The aim
of a innii seeking'profitu on the
farm is lo produce a salable pro
duct. If I liar 18 Ihe case he must
employ balanced farming methods.
In this' way do.* Qorreli Shu
maker, spec alint in marketing for
the State College of Agriculture,
state the case f->r (teller attention
to growing crop* for market.
He says, "Ther« was a time
when hII yood farmers prided
themselves upon the fulness of
their family cows. If Bossy's
bony structure whs not complete
ly concealed with a heavy layer
of fat it was thought that she had
not been properly treated. Own
ers of entile in poor condition
w»re looked upon as being guilty
of careless and inhumane treat
ment. Present,day testing meth
ods prove* the fa lacy of this old
belief. We find that Mouie fac
cows may be very poor milk pro
ducers. Cows capable of heavy
production may become poor pro
ducers tf not fed a propery bal
anced ration. One scri of ration
may be conducive to the produc
tion of flesh, another to the pro
duction of inilk amf bnlterfat.
"In like manner a farm, al
though having every appearance
ot being fat,~may not be profitable.
It may b capable of producing
fine profits if carefully managed,
and yet even bounteous yields of
poor quality crops or light yields
of very high quality products
may le »ve the owner with a loss
at the ond of the season. *A farm,
then, like the cow, needs bal
anced rations. The ratiqns of the
farm are the .methods employed.
Poor seed may be planted in good
soil and yield poor results. You
may sow good seed in good soil
and get an inferior lerop if you
fail to coin lint diseases and insect
pests. Heavy yields may brinir
only a small income if .the pro
duet is not salable.
"Every phase of the farm work
has its bearing, upon . marketing.
Seed selection, seed treatment,
time and manner of planting, cul
tural practices, oest control, time
and manner of harvesting, and
the method of preparing the
harvested product for the market
—all are essential in the produc
tion of a commodity acceptable
in the market."
Hew to Bed Sweet Potatoes.
Sweet potatoes should be bed
ded iu a> iuauure heated bot-bed
about six weeks before it is time
to set them in the field, recom
mend horticultural workers of the
Agricultural Extension Service.
To make this hot-bed an exca
vation 12 :o Iff inches deep should
be made under the frame and in
this should be plaoed stable ma
nure to a depth of 8 to 12 inches.
This should be watered if dry and
well packed. On this should be
placed 3 to 4 inches of cleau sand
in which potatoes have never been
grown.
After heating has feteehed the
bigbesu point and dropped to 80°
or 85° F., tho potatoes snould be
firmly placed in the bed leaving
at least an inch of space out ween
them If the potatoes are too
close, the sprouts will be so crowd
ed that ion* spindling plants wilt
be produced. After placing the
potatoes, cover litem witli sand to
the depth of about hii inch, and
when the sprouts begin to force
their way through the surface sp
ply 2 inches more of sand.
The temperature of the bed
should Ihi bet we an 70° ami 75°FFt. t
uutil planting-out time. The bod
should be thoroughly watered
after tho potatoes are put in and
later watering* should be given
whenever the foil liecomos dry.
The water should be applied
lightly using a sprinkling can for
the purp"Se.
Only disease-free seed should
be bedded and this is secured by
treating (he potatoes in a solution
