During the past week the alfalfa fields
in and around Danbury on the valley
have been a beautiful sight to look upon
Hundreds of acres have been cut and is
now standing in neat looking shocks all
over the fields ready for the stack
The clover at this cutting is of a very
fine quality and is going into the stack
with a bright green color and when re
opened during the winter and spring
will be found to be as bright a color as
when cut J E Dolph one of our ex
tensive farmers west of town has 45
acres of this cutting shocked and is
working with a crew of 12 men this
week putting his hay into the stack

one that the farmers will profit by

A DOMESTIC COMEDY
THE VARIED RESULTS OF REARRANG
ING THE FURNITURE
5Ir rjlankn Sinn in For Chanffinsr
the Aiiinm lice of the Koojhm
Bronslit Trimble to tlie Mnlc Con
tingent mid Sorrow to Herself
Do you change the position of the
furniture when you clean n room
inquired housewife No 1 of a friend In
the course of a heart to heart talk
Do I Why yes indeed I dont
feel as If the room is cleaned unless I
change the furniture a little bit Do
you
Well I usually change the orna
ments around and so forth but in the
spring and fall I like to change every
thing In a room completely alter the
whole appearance of it Then I fancy
the things are all new and they seem
to look prettier somehow But do you
know my husband doesnt like It at
all
Neither does mine Isnt that singu
lar iron are so peculiar
Yes indeed they are
So many housekeepers share the
views of these two that a story with
a moral will not be out of place
It was the other night only that Mr
Blank went unsuspiciously up stairs to
bed at an unusually early hour leaving
his wife reading in the sitting room
He had a headache and carried a gob
let of water in his right hand Fear
lessly advancing into the dark bed
room Mr Blank suddenly felt both legs
violently cut from under him lie
clutched wildly at the air and said
several things of an exclamatory na
ture but there was nothing to save
him He went down
Good gracious Henry ejaculated
Mrs Blank hurrying to the scene of
disaster What is the matter
Where are you Why dont you light
the gas Suiting the action to the
word she beheld her husband sprawl
ing across the bed the glass he had
carried had discharged Its contents
across the pillowshams and shivered on
the floor
Mr Blank did the talking for the
next ten minutes He said that of all
the blankety blank folly of which the
mind could conceive this of changing
furniture around was the worst He
said it was a pretty thing for a man to
walk into his own room and have to
fall over things in the dark He said
he wouldnt stand it the furniture
must be replaced where it formerly
stood
I shant do anything of the kind
replied Mrs Blank It looks very
much nicer where it is Why dont
you feel where you are going when you
get into a dark room
Spose youd like me to crawl in on
all fours snarled Mr Blank I
couldnt feel where the bed was unless
I happened to touch the footboard -I
thought I could walk clear over to the
bureau I tell you its a confounded
crank you have on this subject Some
day youll precipitate a serious acci
dent
If any one precipitates itll be you
I should think retorted Mrs Blank
icily And the furniture remained
where it was
It was the next evening that Master
Blank undertook to carry a pile of
schoolhooks from the dining room to
the sitting room He had a bottle of
ink in his hand and he thought he
knew exactly where the center table
was In the course of his peregrina
tions in search of it however he came
into violent collision with the glass
door of the bookcase which he broke
There were also inky traces discernible
on the carpet when Mrs Blank came
in This time there was some halm for
her feelings She could spank Master
Blank and did it with the best will in
the world
Her own downfall was not long in
coming however although for a few
days only minor inconveniences were
met with such as the abrasion of an
kles against chair rockers and slight
bruises received by means of sudden
contact with unforeseen obstacles Last
evening Mrs Blank undertook to trans
fer the cage of her pet parrot from the
window where it spends the day to the
snug corner where it passes the night
She did not trouble to light the gas and
by some unaccountable mental lapse
she had forgotten the precise point at
which a tabouret on which stood a jar
diniere was stationed She charged
into the tabouret with considerable
force was overbalanced by the weight
of the cage in her arms and took a
header with a resounding crash The
parrot shrieked and unable to distin
guish friend from foe inflicted a severe
bite on her mistress finger Mr Blank
came in hurriedly picked up his wife
and assisted in making an inventory of
sundry contusions Then they lifted
the parrot cage badly bent and the
jardiniere with a piece chipped out of
It and the tabouret somewhat scratch
ed and then Mr Blank observed quiet
ly
I have just one thing to ask you
Mrs Blank Was I right
No you were not retorted Mrs
Blank savagely Serious accident
Whats serious about this I should like
to know For goodness sake Henry
dont stand there trying to look like a
martyr If you must have the furni
ture moved back Ill move it And

Why do you speak so slightingly
of that eminent scientist
I didnt mean to speak slightingly

seem peculiar to me that a man who
knows just when the next- comet will
arrive and just how far It is to the

A LIVING BAROMETER
The Crnullltc Spider That Poxci nS
Yucntnnii Weather Sharp
In Yucatan a land of many curiosi
ties there Is a living barometer In the
form of a small spider called am on
account of the effect produced by 1 15
poison As far as its owu conduct goes
the insect Is Inoffensive and can he
handled with Impunity but If qavbody
has the misfortune to get ono mysteri
ously mixed with his food he Ik certain
to die after a few hours and muauw Idle
for some unexnlained reason will fre
quently ejaculate Am am am hence
the name of the spider Throughout
the peninsula this Is allirmed to be a
fact and If an am falls into fodder of
horses or mules the animal that swal
lows it surely dies
This spider is shaped like a crab
minus the claws and is of a bright yel
low color with brown spots the big
gest could je accommodated upon a
silver dime Its favorite abode is
among the laves of tho banana shrub
commonly but erroneously called tree
There it spins with extreme rapidity
its web which is prodigiously large
considering tho size of its architect
and proceeds to devour the flies that
are unlucky enough to get entangled
in the meshes of this astonishing little
glutton that is not satisfied with less
than a dozen a daythat is to say it
consumes a good deal more than its
own bulk Its progeny is numerous
and appears at first like more black
specks smaller than the smallest pins
head
The sky may he blue and cloudless
when suddenly the am commences tak
ing in its sails or rather gathering in
Its net with neatness and dispatch
cramming the whole of the material
into its diminutive body entirely out of
sight A few minutes completes the
job and the spider takes up its posi
tion on the under surface of one of tho
great leaves to be lulled by the gentle
swaying and sheltered while the storm
rages It is for this that the am has
prepared and never is it mistaken
When the web is taken in rain will
certainly fall within an hour
The moment the am is touched It
feigns death and lets itself drop show
ing no sign of life until again placed
upon a leaf or on the ground Many a
one lias lain in the palm of the writers
hand inert all Its legs drawn close to
its body while it was examined at
leisure even being picked up in tho
fingers without its manifesting any
life
BEAUTY SPOTS
Try lemon juice for whitening the
neck Apply it with a linen cloth
After the head has been shampooed
whenever possible give the head a sun
bath
A writer states that oily hands may
be made comfortable and touchable by
wetting them once or twice a day while
clean with cologne alcohol or toilet
vinegar
A good circulation is essential to the
growth of the hair as well as to its col
or and fineness A frequent vigorous
brushing with a stiff brush is the best
method of obtaining this
A writer upon the complexion says
the best way to treat freckles a sure
cure in all but very obstinate cases is
to touch them night and morning with
a camels hair brush after dipping it in
lemon juice
For a greasy skin nothing is better
than the combination of an ounce of
dried rose leaves half a pint of white
wine vinegar and half a pint of rose
water Let the vinegar stand on the
rose leaves for a week then add the
rosewater Use a tablespoonful in a
cup of distilled water
A Geological Fallacy
Probably the most wild and unjusti
fiable of all the crude beliefs respect
ing geological resources is that which
holds to the conviction that by going
deep enough the drill is sure to find
something of value no matter at what
point the work of boring is commenced
There are numerous wise persons in
every community estimable influen
tial and in the highest degree public
spirited who are convinced that the
question for example of finding coal
in their special locality is simply a
matter of the depth to which the ex
plorations are carried Rock oil and
natural gas are recognized as desirable
products in every progressive commu
nity and every such community con
tains persons in other respects intelli
gent who are ready to stake their own
fortune and that of their nearest
friends on the belief that oil and gas
are everywhere underneath the surface
and that tbpir sources can be tapped
with the drill provided only there is
sufficientcapital to keep up the process
of drilling long enough Mines and
Minerals
Professional Shoppers
Professional shoppers are employed
by a certain largj firm of London
drapers to test the abilities of shop as
sistants This firm owns over thirty
large shops and employs nearly 1000
assistants To find out whether every
customer is politely served a number
of lady customers are employed to call
at the various shops They are told to
give as much trouble as possible and
sometimes to leave without making a
purchase after looking at nearly every
thing in the shop Should the unfortu
nate assistants temper not be equal
to the strain or should a single word
be said that might offend a report will
infallibly reach headquarters and lead
to the dismissal of the sorely tried
handler of silks and ribbons
