A PLEASURABLE EVENING.
Enjoyed by the Class 1902 who Were
Guests or the Pupils of 8th and 9th
Grades.
It has been tin happy custom of the
students of the eighth and ninth grades
to give the graduating class of the tenth
grade a reception on tho eve of their
leaving school. A very delightful oc
casion of this nature wis held in the
Academy building list evening. -. There
were about one hundred present and all
had a very pleasant, sociable time.
Games and innocent amusements were
the features of the evening. Light re
freshments were served in one of the
upper rooms of the building.
There was a general feeling of deep
regret over tho absence of Miss Mary
Brown, who was teacher of the eighth,
ninth and tenth grades and who last
week went to Minnesota where she has
a position as teacher of a school on an
Indian reservation, tyie was a popu- j
lar and efficient teacher. She has all the
heart felt good wishes of ber former
associates and pupils.
; A GENTLE HINT.
In our style of climate, with Its Bud
den changes of temperature, rain, wind
and sunshine often Intermingled in a
single day, it is no wonder that our
children, friends and relatives are so
frequently, taken from us by neglected
colds, half the deaths resulting directly
from this cause. A bottle of Boschee's
German Syrup kept about your home
for immediate use will prevent serious
sickness, large doctor's bill, and per
haps death, by the use of three or four
doses. For curing Consumption, Hem
orrhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs,
Croup or any disease of the Throat or
Lungs, its success is simply wonderful,

MODERN ADVERTISING.
How a New York Restaurant Keener
. Tnraa an Honest Fenny,
An enterprising restaurant keeper in
Herald square has evolved a new,
scheme to add to the no mean revenue
he already derives from the sale of eat
ables and drinkables to hungry and
thirsty patrons. v"v
' For some time past ho has hat his
name stamped on the "china" in which
food and drink are served, and this
suggested to him the possibility of en
larging on the idea and not only, have
the stamping done for nothing, but in
crease his Income as well. :
He forthwith sought out a firm that
advertises extensively and submitted
his proposition, with the result that a
contract was closed at once. Nowi the
names of different brands ot goods are
forced on patrons willy nilly.
, Those Who could turn their backs on
an advertisement when it was display
ed on a fence or avert their eyes when
it is on a car or train are positively,
"stumped." . y ; , '.
As they sip their cup of coffee or mug
Of milk the letters of the advertisement
begin to appear until, when the utensil
is nearly empty, their eyes are looking
straight at the advertisement in all its
attractiveness. ; r:; : ..
', It is the same as the dishes are being
emptied by the patrons. The only way
to avoid seeing the advertisement Is
not to eat the food.,., The ads. are
Stamped on the inside of the1 cups and
plates. ;, ' .. v v .;',.' ;.,,
The restaurant maa and the adver
tiser are both satisfied with the re
sults, and they reck little what the
patrons think of the scheme to coerce
them into reading the matter displayed
in this fashion. New York (Telegram.

interesting essay on "The Battle of Ala
mance'1, a terrific engagement which

for the proper discussion of all subjects.

dictory essay on the truly worthy senti
ment "Live for Something." The young
lady gave good advice on this important
theme and handled it well.
. Dr Geo. Slover, president of the Board

he urged them to not cease their studies
but increase them and to hold the teach
ings of the one great text book the

'' A Shrewd Yankee.
; A certain Boston hotel man tells this
good story atJls own expense: ,
When a small boy ou tho farm, hiB
folks often sent him to the neighbors
to buy a dozen eggs when their bens
failed to lay enough. ,
He noticed that the old farmer al
ways held each egg before a . lighted
candle and examined it carefully. In
his Innocence of Tankee shrewdness
the boy supposed that this was prompt
ed more by honesty and intention to
detect whether the eggs were bad or
not. -
i One day, -however, when he'eounted
jhis eggs, according to custom, there
twere only eleven lri tho basket.
I With a determination not to be cheat
ed, the lad trudged proudly back to the
house and quickly made known his
discovery." '-v v. -v.

right, my boy. One of them has a dou

Hints for farmers
TIM tne Farm.
i A farmer's success depends to a
large extent upon economy of time.
One who loses all the time when It it
too wet to nse the plow or hoe is too
heavily handicapped to erer succeed,
jfor be has lost more than 100 days in
the year, or nearly one-third of his
time, for he not only loses the rainy
days, bat all the days following until
the soil Is In workable condition. In
stead of this he should lay up work
"for s rainy day," so that when he
can't .work In the field be can work In
the shop or elsewhere. There is never
s time, or should not be, .when there ii
no' work to be done that may be done
under cover. Every farm should have
a shop for work In wood, Iron and
leather, snd tools for each. If there is
no indoor work urgent. Invent new
work. Conveniences previously well
done, may be made better and more
convenient Many farmers idle sway
bad weather, .when if they had plenty
of money,,they would keep some per
son handy with tools busy all the while
at 'work' which he could do himself
entirelywithout loss of time from out
of door fannwork. Farm and Ranch.
Separata the Hena. .. .
Young birds sa well as the old hens
often contract diseases which they
would escape were they kept in a prop
er, yard or allowed, sometimes on a
grass plot away from the barnyard;
besides, they will be less liable to be
come overfat In such a yard there
should be two divisions, one for the
laying and sitting bens and one for the
hens with the chickens. Remove the
hens and young ones into this latter
yard as soon ns they are batched out
The bens should be confined in coops,
so made as to protect them and their
broods from the rain. The bens with
chickens Bbould be provided with an
open shed In addition to these coops,
facing the south, in which they might
be placed during long continued rains.
Fresh water should be supplied in shal
low troughs twice a day to the Inmates
of both apartments of the yard, and
there should be In each yard a small
heap of ashes as a preventive.of ver
min. As the season for hatching nr-
too much preparation cannot be
made.-Home and Fireside.
The Fly That Attack Pen.
The growing of pens for canning pur
poses has greatly increased since the
invention of the vinev, a 'machine for
bulling pens. Now grown in many
places by hundreds of acres, peas are
cut with a mowing machine, raked up
in windrows, loaded on wagons and run
through the viner like "wheat through
a thrashing machine. One grower in
Wisconsin last year bad 2,400 acres.
Before the advent of the machine it
would have been impossible to have
handled the product of so large an
acreage for canning purposes. Individ
ual growers having from 100 to COO
acres throughout the southern and cen
tral states are not uncommon. The ap
pearance of the green fly, the insect
which completely ruined 1,100 acres for
one person two years ngo, has been a
serious factor recently. Various meth
ods have been suggested for its control.
The brush, and pan method Is quite
extensively ; used in some places for
catching and destroying the Insects.
Such art outfit was used on the farm of
Saulsbury Bros, of Maryland two years
ago.
Aahes and Salt For Swine.
I have been in the hog business for
the past thirty-three years, and It has
always been my practice to try to keep
salt and ashes where my hogs could
help themselves, says L. L. Frost. I
think one part salt to nine part ashes
about the right mixture. I have some
times burned old rails, corncobs, etc.,
until thoroughly charred, then salt it
slightly and throw water on it and let
the hogs eat the charcoal. I- practice
this only when feeding bogs for the
market. I have never seen any bad re
sults from feeding ashes to hogs, but
think' the best way Is to keep them
Where the hogs can help themselves at
all times.
Don't Lose Yonr Head.
: In the matter of crop area, the tend
ency tills season Is to go beyond con
servative limits, particularly in the
specialties', such as field beans and
onions in the east and flaxseed in the
northwest High prices sometimes
cause the generally conservative farm
er to lose bis bead. Don't expect to
make a fortune out of a field of onions
unless you follow up to date methods
in cultivating and handling this crop.
Little danger, however, of growing too
much field corn. .-. '
- .. Seed Corn Test.
, The Illinois Agricultural college is
testing seed corn free for the farmers
of the state. Every institution of the
kind In the corn belt, Including Ohio,
Kentucky and Tennessee, ought to do
this. v It gives the student some prac
tical work to do and will result in bet
ter crops. Enterprise in college work
is always commendable. .
For Relnr Day".
. Every farm should have a woodshop
that, may be profitably occupied on
rainy days. It is better also to have
a blacksmith's outfit., Then, if the
farmer or any one of his boys has
enough mechanical talent to make a
hoe handle, be can soon learn to do all
the plain repairing required on a farm.
Droasht Predicted. ' ;$ i ;
The St. Louis Journal of Agriculture
advises farmers of the middle west to
prepare fornotber drought and says
that the weather up ,to date has been
unfavorable to crops throughout that
section. It is always wise to be pre
pared for drought or floods or any pos
sible contingency. ' ' ,

Sklrta Haeh Trimmed.
In the dressmaker's output ot cloth,
silk and linen gowns very few severe
ly plain skirts are shown. .Most of
them are trimmed with' lace. Insertion,
embroidery, braid, stitched bands of
silk or velvet, hemstitching, fagoting,
stitching or tucking. Many new spring
gowns show front panels of the goods
or of panne velvet covered - with a
lacing effect done In black silk floss.
Persian and oriental effects are used
as tabs for skirt trimming. These
skirts are not any shorter at the back,
but do not sweep so at the sides snd
front Skirts of circular or ruffled
flounces are shown, but are not partic
ularly pretty unless worn by tall, grace
ful women.
Snnbnrat Effect.
Almost every imported light wool
gown is distinguished by small tucks
starting at the waist and continuing
for a greater or less depth toward the
bottom. These tiny plaits are even
formed by the most skillful rnto ray
onne effects, and some are even so clev
er as to make them take the form of
complete circles;, but, while the latter
fashion certainly shows the wonderful
skill attained by the Parisian, it is not
a mode to bo altogether commended
for its artistic merits. A black etamine
gown Is not only a most elegant and
smart one for the spring season, but it
Is, also a most useful one in the dressy
tailor made effects.

Diminutive Armies.
In the benrt of the Pyrenees there ia
a microscopic state, known as the An
dorra repub'lc, which. maintains its in
dependence amoug the formidable
giants of Euiope that surround it on
all sides. Its normal suzerain is a
bishop, and it has on army of GOO stal
wart mountaineers, ready at any mo
ment to die for their national dignity
and independence. There is something
quite pathetic In the spectacle of this
handful of men drilling and strutting
in their mountain fastnesses, while on
one side is Spain, which can produce
1,000 soldiers against one of the re
public, and on the other the army ot
France, which outnumbers them by
nearly 0,000 to one. " ' ;
A still more diminutive army is that
which nominally protects the dominion
of the Trince of Monaco. As the prin
cipality is little more than a dozen
times the size of Hyde park, it is not
surprising tlint the soldiers who guard
it only number 120 or that their duties
are chiefly confined to making a brave
show in tlx Ir uniform and having a
good time generally.

Iiow often do wc hear the remark,
"We shall have rain, the atmosphere
is so heavy." The reverse is true.
When one sees smoke banging from a
chimney, with a tendency to sink to
the ground, it indicates that the at
mosphere is light in fact, too light to
float the smoke. When the smoke
rises from the chimney. It indicates &
heavy atmosphere. A column of smoke
is not a bad barometer, for a barometer
simply records the pressure of the at
mosphere. When the .atmosphere Is
light and the smoke settles, the pres
sure on the mercury Is light, and the
column falls. Indicating storm. When
the atmosphere Is heavy and the smoks
rises, the pressure is greater and; the
column rises, indicating fair weather.
Measure seekers and others before
starting out should therefore watch
the smoke.
