The Daffodil Grows to Beauty With Very Little Trouble Nasturtiums and Dahlias Have Much to Recommend Them. With the spring the housewife has a longing to dig in her garden and plant her various seeds and bulbs. Tho old-fashioned Blglo hollyhocks, cosmos, golden glow and asters havo been un UBiinlly popular the past few years. Popples, sweet-peas, asters, cosmos, and nasturtiums bloom through to September. Asters aro gotting larger and moro beautiful every year. There Is no blossom better ndaptod for spring In the home, In city or coun try, than tho daffodil. Thoro arc many beautiful varieties, and they can bo grown with little trouble. Whether your grounds aro largo or small, a space can always bo found for theso bulbs, which are placed In tho soli In tho autumn. Once planted, thoy will bloom senson after season. Dnffodlls will also grow Indoors, and will bo a delight from Christmas until Easter. These plants will blossom out of doors n April and continue through May. Nasturtium Is another easy plant to grow. For the garden border, where cut flowers are tho chief aim, tho dwarf varletes aro the best. They will bloom better If the soli Is not too rich. Dahlias aro a decorative flower, and are particularly deslrablo for use in now places where the shrubbery Is not advanced. They mako an attractive display along tho wall or fence, and aro caBlly grown. One can get the tubers and plant them In May, but some prefer to buy of tho florists the young plnntB well started in small pots, and transplant them to the soil. Sweet-pens should havo a rich soil and sunny spot, as tho vines need plenty of heat to develop the blos soms. A trench should bo dug about Blx inches deep, and into this sow your seeds thickly and cover them with about two inches of soil. When the plant is about three inches high, the surrounding earth should be drawn around It. Keep repeating this until the trench Is almost full. Wire net ting of coarse mesh or brush makes a good support. Plenty of water is nec eeBsary and let it run in the shallow trench, so that the roots are benefited. FOR EXERCISE AT HOME. Simple Device That Will Be Found of Practical Benefit. A Blmple device for home physical training consists simply of a piece of wood four by two Inches and one Inch thick, having two auger holes ono inch In dinmeter and half an inch doop, writes J. R. Wlnchlp, in the BoBton Transcript. Nail or screw It, with tho holeB exposed horizontally, to tho side of n room or building as high as tho shoulders of the person who Is to use It. Tako two canes, stick the ferrules In the holes and stand with the hands -(holding the handleB on the caries) nearly touching tho breast. As you Bway forward tbP hands separate, thus giving spuce for the body to act freely in pressing the shoulders back, tho head acting in i ii unison, wnne me Dreast extends for ward, tho breathing conforming with tho motion, thUB exercising in a moro hygienic manner than weights afford. Deep breathing can at tho same time be practiced. Permanent rods of wood, steel or brass tubes may bo attached by swlvolB or ringed scrows to the block and used instead of tho auger holes and canes. The rods aro to have handles fitted for use. In my opinion tho dovlco Is thoroughly practicable and should be generally adopted, that strength and beauty of form may be retained and discaso lessened. Cayenne Pepper for Mice. Cayenne pepper sprinkled freely In cupboards and shelves which mice an known to frequent will aid consldor ably in preventing them from spoiling garments, shoo leather, naners. etc Lumps of camphor placed among .clothes nro also moBt useful as menus of scaring away mice, while books, especially when theso are put away In shelves or boxes, should al ways bo protected from possible dep redatlons by intorsperslng tho layers of books with small camphor bass. Gingerbread Pudding. Mix ono teaspoonful of baking pow dor with onc-hnlf pound flour, ono-hnlf teaspoonful of ground ginger, one-half pound of treacle, two ounces butter Just molted, ono egg, and a pinch of Bait; put Into a well-lloured pudding cloth, boll s hours. When Houseclennlng. Select bright days for cleaning, bo that tho sunlight may ponetrato tho dark corners, but windows to bo well pollBhed should be washed on a gray day or the glass will appear streaked. Laundry work at ho:no would be much moro satisfactory If the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, It is usually neces sary to use so much starch that tho beauty and flnonoss of tho fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear ing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by uBlng De flnnco Starch, as It can bo applied much more thinly because of its great er strength thai other makes. A Fish Story. "Trout protection! Nonsense!" said a gunner of local eminence. "Trout aro amply able to protect themselves. ..ook at their depredations among ducks, for example, and you will agree with me that It's the birds that need protection. It's a common thing for a trout to jump from the water, seize a duck by the neck, drag tho unfortunate fowl into the depths sufficiently to cave its feet sticking In the air, where t can get no purchase upon the uni verse, and thus drown It. Then tho trout picks the feathers from tho bird, cats it at its leisure and swims away out of the jurisdiction of tho courts. Aro there, any fishermen ? None? Too bad. This would bo a match for one of their fish stories." FIRST TO CROSS PACIFIC. SWe-Whetl Steamer Aroused Much Interest in Japan. "I saw the first steamship flying the American flag that ever crossed the Pacific ocean enter the harbor of Hongkong," Bald Frederick R. Ster ling, a merchant of Hongkong. "That vessel was the Colorado, and it landed in Hongkong in 1869. It was the first day of January, and there was a big crowd of people of all nationali ties to see her. Being a side-wheeler of the old-fnshioned type, she was a curiosity. At the request of Isaac J. Allen, the American consul general, the ship gave an excursion around the Island on which the city is situated. I was among tho 1,200 on board. It was a gala day. Whistles blew, people shouted, and numerous, small sailing boats and tugs escorted us. "As I remember now, the vessel be longed to the Pacific Mail Line and sailed from San Francisco. She made the trip of 8,000 miles in 30 days, and when she arrived was in perfect trim and good order. Everybody realized that it means the beginning of the great development of the Pacific."

Word has been received at tho office of the Canadian Government In St. Paul that seeding has commenced at various points throughout Manitoba, Saskatch ewan and Alberta. Tho heavy snowfall during tho past winter lias left the ground In splondid shape for successful seeding opera tions. The fine weather of tho past few days has taken much of the frost out of tho ground and during next week there will scarcely be a district n which the seeder Is not being oper ated. The most optimistic conditions exist and in all districts the farmers are busy getting things in shape. There will be a very large acreage sown in spring wheat, oats and barley. At ninny points throughout the three provinces tho newcomers aro busy un- oadlng their stock and effects, work ng night and day in-order to get on their farms and become active agen cies In the effort to make tho year 1907 the banner year in grain produc- ng In Western Canada. As compared with districts many hundred miles further south than this, It will be seen that Western Canada ranks amongst the first In the line of seeding opera tions for the present year. It Is safe to say that farmers who get In their crop before the 20th or 24th of May, will receive magnificent returns. A number of those coming in this spring,. who had not their land prepared last fall, will break up enough land to get, n a crop of oats and barley and prob ably some flax. This, together with the vegetables they will plant, will give them ample food for themselves and stock during the coming summer and winter. These early -seeding oper ations are not confined to one district, but are spread over a country 900 miles long by 400 miles in width. The agents of the Canadian Govern ment, located at different points throughout the United States, are busy giving information regarding the many new districts that aro being made available for settlers. Low rail way rates, information and literature are given on application to the agent, whose name appears in advertisement elsewhere In this paper. PUT RELIGIOUS DUTY SECOND. tern Laws of Business Come First, Says Austrian Court. An interesting case at law, which centered on the observance of an old Jewish custom, was decided in Vienna recently. A merchant, says the Ameri can Israelite, discharged a clerk on ac count of neglect of duty. Among the charges against him was that he came to the store late in the morning be cause he attended service at the syna gogue in order to say Kaddish the prayer for the dead for his father. The clerk argued that It was his privi lege and his duty to say the prayer for his departed father, while the mer chant, who was also a religious man, maintained that "if Moses had known that a man had to pay 8,000 gulden a year rent he would have made differ ent lawB." The judge would not allow such an argument, but decided in fa vor of the merchant, "because the dally attendance at the synagogue could not be considered the' right of the clerk without the consent of the employer." FAMILY'S SKIN TROUBLES. Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Affec tions Afflict Different Members, But Cuticura Cures Them. "My wife had eczema for five or six years. It was on her face and would come and go. Wo thought we would give tho Cuticura Remedies a trial. We did so and she has never had a sign of eczema for four years. I myself used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment some time ago for falling hair. I now havo a very heavy head of hair. Wo used Cuticura Remedies for our baby, who was nearly bald when young. She has very nice hair now. Sho Is very fleshy, and we had so much troublo with heat that wo would batho her with Cuticura Soap and then apply Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the heat up so mush quicker than any thing else. Mr. H. B. Springmlre, 323 So. Capitol Street, Iowa City, la., July 16, 1905, and Sept. 16, 1906." A Sane Analysis. He Won't you forgive me for kiss lng you? She No. If I did you'd kiss me again. He I promlso I won't. She Then what's tho good? By following the directions, which aro plainly printed on each packago of Defiance Starch, Men's Collars and Cuffs can bo mado just as stiff aa de sired, with either gloss or domestic finish. Try It, 16 02. for 10c, sold by an good grocers. Ono of the things a man can't un derstand Is why bis enmies have any mends. Sheer white eoodo. In fact, any flni wash coods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they aro laundered, this being done In a manner to enhance their textile beau ty. Homo laundering would be equal- v satisfactory If nroner attention waa given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to Btiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at tho Improved appearance of your work. Immense African Dry-Dock. At Port Florence, on tho shore of the great lake Victoria, which Is tho chief source of the Nile, there is a dry-dock cut out of solid rock by na tives who had never before dono much Eerlous work. ' Tho dock Is 250 ieet long, 48 feet wide and 14 feet deep. It is 3,700 feet above the level of tho sea, or nearly three times the altitude of Lake Chautauqua.
