SEEDS AND BULBS
WITH THE SPRING, THOUGHTS
TURN TO TH GARDEN.
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."

8EEDING COMMENCED IN
WESTERN CANADA,
The Prospects for a Large Acreage to
Be 8own in Wheat.
St. Paul, April 24, 1907. 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.
