Washington Star: When little Mrs. Mercyonnus returned to Washington from her honeymoon she lost no time In hurrying around to the home < of an old married woman friend for ad vice and consolation. The old married woman friend, that is to say, was all of twenty-three years of age, and she had been married for fully half a year. Little Mrs. Mercyonnus looked very nervous and perturbed. "What In the nume of land sakes alive alls you?” of course Inquired the old married woman friend and girlhood pal when she saw the distressed state of little Mrs. Mercyonnus. "You are looking dreadful. What is it?" "Well. I guess you would look dread ful too. If your husband made such a terrible uproar In his sleep that you couldn't sleep for five or six nights running," replied little Mrs. Mercyon nus, poutlngly. "Oh, you mean that the poor man snores?" inquired the old married wom an frle"-’ sympathetically, yet with a broad smile. "Well, I suppose that Is what It Is called; but snoring seems too mild a term to denominate the—the—the sounds that Jack makes,” said Mrs. Mercyonnus. ■'But," sagely asked the old married woman friend, "why In pities' sakes don’t you turn him over when he snores so that you can't sleep?" "Turn him over?" repeated Mrs. Mer cyonnus, mystlfledly. "Now, what on earth can the woman mean? Turn him over! That sounds as If he were a bug-—or—or something!" "Turn—him—over—that's exactly what I mean, and nothing else,” Im pressively replied the old married woman of all of a half a year's experi ence with a husband creature. "But, dear me,” hopelessly remarked Mrs. Mercyonnus, "the great hulking creature weighs 200 pounds. How In the wide world would I be able to turn him over?” "Oh, you don’t have to llterrally lift him up and turn him over," remarked the settled married woman of twenty three. "No such thing. Of course not. All you’ve got to do Is to give him a lit tle poke or shake, you know—Just suf ficient to half awaken him—and tell him to turn over, and he'll do It with out coming to his senses at all. Hus bands get to do that quite automati cally, you know, when they're trained, that way. But you'd better begin training him that way Immediately.” "But I don’t want to wake Jack up, poking or shaking him," argued Mrs. Mercyonnus. "He says that when once he wakes up at night It's so hard for him to get to sleep again.” "Now, you do as I tell you," peremp torily commanded the old married woman. "I know what I’m about. I had trie same trouble with Edward. But now I have merely to touch him on the shoulder when he's snoring—and he does snore, too, something dreadful, although he denies It strenuously—and he turns right over on his side like a lamb, without ever waking up. And men can't—or, anyhow, they don’t— snore when they're laying on their sides. It’s only when they're lying on their backs, the poor helplessly old things, that they snore.” Mrs. .aercyonnus decided to put the lesson to the test that very night, pro vided. of course, her husband again .snored hard enough to keep her awake. He did snore hard enough to keep her awake that night, and she rose on one elbow and ntflced by the dim re flection of the electric light shining through the window, that he was .sprawled out on the flat of his back. So she reached out a very soft and gentle hand and touched hint on the bhoulder. Then she waited for him to turn over. It didn't happen. He went right on snoring harder than ever. She touched him on the shoulder again, this time placing her lips dose to his ear and murmuring, "Jack." Nothing doing. Jack was running the biggest saw mill south of Michigan, and he was'runnlng It for keeps. "I'd Just like to know what Mtnnte meant by telling me such nonsense," murmured little Mrs. Mercyonnus to herself. "He has not even moved. "Turn him over! I might Just as well try to turn the house over. Jack!” And she gave him a little harder shako on the shoulder this time, and placed hep lips still elosQf to his ear. The only noticeable effect was Unit he struck a knot of lignum vitae hardness and resistance that Mrs. Mercyonnus actually fancied that the dishes In the pantry rattled with the sound. However she was there to try out that turn-htm-over thing to its final Issue, and she gave him another prod and shake. This time he struck half a dozen big knots In a bunch. Then he slowly quit snoring, gurgled a lot In his throat, opened his eyes, and grunted— but he didn’t turn over so that any body could really notice It. "What is it?” Jie Inquired, hoarsely and drowsily. "What the dickens Is coming oft here?" “Jack," whispered his wife, with the Idea of not fully awakening him, "you’re snoring dreadfully, 'deed you are—dreadfully! I can't sleep a wink." "Huh? Me snore? Aw, cut it out— forest It,” grunted the unturnable one. "Never snored In my life. Sure thing. Dunno how, Would \vob-ug--gllck-er heu—’’ Rtid then he gurgled himself 4nto a still profounder snoring slumber. But he hadn't turned over any. "Jack,” resolutely whispered little Mrs. Mercyonnus, giving him another shake, with the idea of nailing him before he got too far away Into dreamland, “won’t you pul-leeze—Just to let me sleep oh such a teenohy lit tle bit—won't you pul-leeze turn over like a good old thing?" This time hs arrived at something like genuine consciousness. He rolled over on his side In an elephantine sort of way, grumbling something about a deuce of a racket, and wonder man emiMn’t get some sleep after working like a dog all day. and he'd like to know If he was expected to sleep on the roof or In the sink, and begee ugle-gr-r-r um—and away he w-ent to sleep again, but this time without the snoring accompaniment. "Say," he Inquired at the breakfast table on the following morning, "w-hat was al) that rough housein’ that you were pulling oft in the middle of the night—handing me uppercuts and short-am Jolts and things, hey?” “Jack,” she replied, solemnly—for she had never mentioned it before— "Jack, you were snoring just something disgraceful." He looked surprised and cut up some. "Who? Me? Snore? Why, the Idee! You’ve got another guess! Nev er did such a grossly disreputable ihlng In all my bright young life— that’s a vile accusation, it sure is. Me snore! Not guilty! Bet you a new hat I never snored in my life! Bet you two hats! Shocking thing to say to a man! I’m surprised at you!” The next day was Sunday. He corked off on one of the couches for an after dinner nap. Three.minutes after lying dow n he was snoring like a cait left knight and a swell trencherman. She remembered his refusal to believe her declaration that he snored. So she slipped a fresh cylinder onto the phonograph, placed it softly alongside the couch on which he was lying, start ed It going, and got a cylinder full of his Gargantuan snores. She put the cylinder away, meaning to spring It on him the very first time he should again deny his snoring habit. But that evening a number of friends | who hadn't seen the Mercyonnuses ! since their return from the honeymoon I called upon them. While Mrs. Merey onnus was out in the dining room fix ing up a lemonade and cake refection for the callers Mr. Mercyonnus decided to entertain them with the phonograph. The first cylinder he fitted onto the contraption and turned loose was the snoring record which his wife had sur reptitiously taken that afternoon, and the flat was filled w ith the most extra ordinary bunch of sounds that ever came out of a talking machine, until Mr. Mercyonnus Jumped forward and stopped It, not, however, before all the callers were'In a roar. Then Mrs. Mercyonnus had to come forward and make a blushing explan ation, while her husband glared and looked foolish by turns. Snoring Is a tabooed subject In the Mercyonnus flat now. EXTENSION OF THE CAPITOL. America Will Have Mott Perfect Publio Building in the World. Baltimore American: Every patriotic American citizen will hope that no ob stacle will Intrude in the path of an ex tension of the east front of the capltol at Washington In accord with the plans which have been reported favorably by a Joint commission of the senate and house. For several generations this has been a project dear to the heart of al most every congress, and always dear to the heart of every lover of art In architecture, and who could not look at the grand building on "the hill" with out a feeling of profound regret that so Imposing a pile should be conspicu ous In one great defect, that the mag nificent dome should seem from the eastern point of view to be toppling over for lack of a proper and harmoni ous pedestal. Regardless of Its defects the capltol Is a splendor of piecemeal construction. No other architectural pile In the whole world, erected in such vicissitudes, has been permitted to retain such'thorough Integrity. It stands singular in archi tectural form and situation, the most Imposing of all houses of parliament. Not one In any foreign land approaches It In tremendous dignity. Only In the ruins of structures of ancient days can be found a semblance of the chaste de sign of his meeting place of the law makers for more than 80,000,000 of pop ulation—those ruins from which were drawn to a large extent the noble fea tures of the capltol, the treasury and the building of the department of the Interior. It Is not complimentary to the con gress nor to the people that the defects of the capltol have gone so long unrem edled. When the "terrace" was added to the western front to give mass to the apparent foundation, an absurd mistake was made In placing stairways of black slate amid the white marble which everywhere else prevailed. To the most uneducated taste this was of fensive, and architectural artists of every land stood astonished that such a crime could be committed In the name of architecture. In connection with the remedial movement at the east facade this mistake upon the west is to he cor rected, and when that Is accomplished and the central section of the east front Is extended this so-called crude coun try of America will have the most per fect building of public use In all the world. The British house of parliament Is not only offensively ornate, but it Is placed unon the banks of the Thames, ] aim can he properly seen only from the I Surrey side The chamber of deputies In Paris, although of classic design and having a curious sentimental outlook In facing the great church of the Mad eleine, precisely similar In architecture, hut far across the Seine, and the bee hive of the Place de la Concorde, is dwarfed and obscured upon the bank of the river. So the changes might be rung upon houses of parliament of all the great states of the world. No other stands forth with such prodigious weight and dignity of proportion and such com mending situation as this white pile at Washington, and again let the hope be expressed that congress will leave noth ing undone to finally correct the mis takes in art which have been always recognized and which are Solely due to the patchwork manner In which the wonderful structure has been produced. Belt of Calm at Pacific End of Canal National Geographic Magazine: At the eastern extremity of the canal the difficulties which a sailing vessel may expect to encounter will arise from a superanbundance of wind rather than a lack of It. At the western extremity, on the other hand, these conditions will be completely reversed. Upon emerging from the canal into the Pacific ocean a vessel will enter an extensive belt of calms and light airs, which render navigation by sail more tedkufi than in any other frequented portio.: of the sea. The width of this region varies—at some points wide, at others narrow. In that portion of the north Pacific included between the American coast and the merldan of 120 degrees west It reaches a inaxium, ex tending In latitude from a point one or two degrees north of the equator to Cape San Lucas, the southern extrem ity of lower California. In both ap proaching and leaving Panama, irre spective of the port from which or to ward which bound, a sailing vessel must of necessity navigate a greater or less width of the belt of calms, and in estimating for a given voyage the saving of the time effected by the use of the canal the delay arising from the cause must not be neglected. Politic* Pickin’ Up. Atlanta Constitution: "Politics Is pickin' up," said the old colored cam paigner. "but do votin' hours Is so short, en de laws Is so strict, you can’t vote Iona enough to make a good Uvln'!” FEEDING COOP FOR CHICKS. As the stronger chicks always eat the foci of the weaker and younger chicks, as \\<'1I as their own, several feeding coops should be provided and the slats placed at different distances apart on .the differ ent coops so that the larger chicks will be forced to feed separately. The slats on the coops for the smaller chicks should be about 2 inches apart and for the larger and stronger chicks 3 or 3 V* Inches apart. The half grown chicks, though they may roost m the coops, should be fed In an enclosure or In pens where the slats are 4 or 5 inches apart. The slat sides of the feeding pens are covered at the top by wide boards to keep out the rain and the hot sun and the rear end covered with I pf dence of others who have proved that su^nmer cultivation with the cover crop lor winter is profitable and get to work now. There are still six weeks during which the soil between the trees can be cultivated so that there is a good dust mulch. Then stop this work and prepare to sow the cover crop, try winter vetch or rye, to be plowed under in the spring add ing humus to the soil; something which most soils occupied by orchards need badly. CUTTING ALFALFA EARLY. Those who are having their first experi ence with alfalfa are likely to make the mistake of waiting until the crop Is too far advanced before cutting it; a serious mistake because It gets woody if allowed to ripen. The usual plan is to cut it when it is from one-fifth to one-tenth In bloom, doing the work in the morning and letting It dry Just enough so that the leaves do not fall. It is then raked Into small wind rows and allowed to dry some more be fore hauling It to the barn. How much it should dry will depend somewhat on the weather but with a whole day of bright sunshine this is sufficient, the Idea being not to let it dry enough so that the leaves fall in handling. The windrows should be turned at least once so that the alfalfa can dry some on the underside. Should It rain while the crop Is drying let It remain out of doors another day, never put It into the barn wet. Each crop may be cured in the manner specified and when housed' will keep In good condition provided it is not wet when put In the barn. HAVE PLENTY OF SWEET CORN No one can ohject to the farmer with considerable stock having a good supply, of field corn, but the sweet corn should r.ot be neglected for it is one of the most valuable foods of the farm. Sowed sweet corn Is one of the best of plants to help out a short pasture and It makes good ensilage. The shelled sweet corn will, furnish variety as well as nutriment even to stock that is being largely fed on field corn; the stalks of the sweet corn are more tender than those of the field varie ties, hence are correspondingly relished by the stock. In feeding poultry we have al ways felt that the sweet corn seemed to be most desired by the birds, especially when fed whole. It does not make so at tractive an ear as the field corn when cured, but it more than makes up in qual ity. A good plan is to make frequent sow ings of sweet corn during the summer; of course much of it will not boar, but It will be found very useful withal for feeding green to any of the stock on the farm and by careful storage It may be kept green until quite late. WATER FOR YOUR WORK HORSES Remember that the stomach of the horse* is small, hence It should have frequent drinks of water during the day and ^espe- ' daily in the summer; not only this but the water should be fresh and cool and given from a cle?vn receptacle. During the day, between meals, there Is no reason why the horse should not have all the water it wants, provided it is doing only ordinary hard work. There are other places for water also; when the horse comes in from the field remove the halter and head gear and with a large sponge go over the entire head and shoulders with the water, re moving all the soil and perspiration; let the water be used freely about the ears, the nostrils and in the mouth. Then go over the rest of the body and wipe It thor oughly with a wet sponge. This sort of treatment will do the animal a world of good and It will eat better, sleep better and- work better for this humane treat ment. During the warm weather look out for lender spots on the horse where the harness chafes; be watchful that the har ness fits in every part so that the work may be done without flinching. If the col lar does not fit see that it 1s attended to at once for the harnessmaker’s bill will be j less than the value of the services of the j horse if it is laid up for a week with a sore shoulder. Don’t forget the nightly groom- j ing and see that it is thoroughly done. CARE OF THE POULTRY YARD. Where fowls are confined In rather close [ quarters during the summer it Is a good plan to arrange so that the poultry yard can be changed or else divided In two or more sections so that one can bo renovated while the other Is being used. If the yard is of the ordinary garden soil It should be spaded under to the depth of the spado after first- cleaning out the worst of the filth. Then sow this space to oats or rye and allow it to grow for two weeks; then turn the poultry into this yard and treat the other yard in the same manner. The fowls will do much better under this treat ment and not be so likely to miss the I range. Another good plan Is to have a small yard into which the fowls may be | turned an hour or two dally; this yard should be in heavy sod and the fowls should not be permitted to occupy it long enough at a time to soil the grass. Keep grass growing throughout the season by a little commercial fertilizer and plenty of water if needed. If the feeding is done in ihe yards all receptieals both for food 1 and water should be kept as clean as pos sible. These summer comforts will do • much toward making the hens keep In good laying condition for fall and winter instead of its taking until Christmas for them to get in laying condition. FOOD SAVING TROUGH. That much wood Is lost by reason of poorly constructed troughs anyone will admit who has watched animals feed at such troughs. True, some labor Is saved if troughs are constructed with but one large place In which the food is placed, but this Is more than lost in the waste, of food. An ideal trough, and one that is simple and easily constructed is made by placing division boards in it so that each animal has a place to itself. In this way there is likely to bo less crowding and. by I fill . llii. L- Id a little care one can place the animals at feeding time so that the ones requiring the most food may have it and those requir ing less not be overfed. It is a good plan to arrange the partitions so that they will slide down between cleats for in this way they may be removed and the trough thor oughly cleansed. 9uch a trough is not dif ficult to construct and the extra time and material required will be more than made good in tbe quantity of food saved. The illustration shows this simple trough and. as will be seen, .t is certainly easy to con struct. - L*-»». wire netting or slats, as preferred. A feed ing board should also be provided on which the mash is fed; this board to be taken out at night after the last feeding for the day and thoroughly cleaned with scalding water. This will do much toward keeping the chicks in good health. The front end of the coop should be arranged so that it may be removed: this is readily done by holding it in place at the top with a cord and nail and at the bottom with two stakes. Such a coop as described is readily constructed and at comparative ly small cost. The illustration shows the coop complete; B represents the feeding board with the place in front cut so as to the more easily grasp the board in tak ing it out. The small end view at right shows how this portion is secured by the two stakes and the X at the lower end of coop shows where the stakes are to be driven. FOOD FOR THE GROWING PIGS. To turn the growing pigs of from four to six months old In with the older animals and expect them to do well Is a decided ' mistake. They will be unable to get their share of the food, even though it were of the proper kind for them, which it is not. Shouts of the age mentioned do best on a ration consisting of one pound of corn and oats mixed to two pounds of middlings. Given this as a regular ration and then from three to five hours dally on the range the youngsters ought to take on a fine growth of bone and muscle, and be In good ; shape to fatten readily in the early fall. The night care of growing pigs we con sider quite as important as their care during the Cay. Their beds should be clean and dry, and in a well ventilated < pen; not a pen through which the wind ' and rain will blow, but one in which they will keep dry and yet have all the fresh i air necessary. It should also be provided with plenty of clean, sweet bedding and have an exit so that the pigs will not find it necessary to foul their bedroom. Try this plan of pig raising and see if the re sult is not a better class of pigs at no more expense than under the old plan. FRUITING THE STRAWBERRY PLANTS If, after the crop of the present season : is gone the plantation is carefully gone : over and examined, it is not hard to tell if it will pay to crop it another year. Sure ly if It has given but one full crop it ( ought to produce a profitable crop the next year and it will If properly taken care of. ( Of course it is presupposed that the soil j Is strong and capable of doing its share. . This being the case the plot should be j cultivated during the remainder of the , season, care taken that only the first plant on the runner was allowed to root and ] then, after the middle of August, unless In case of a drought, a light mulch may , be~placed between the rows and the culti- , vation stop until later. Cultivation should , be done in the fall so that the beds will , not go Into the winter weedy, but in the ] full strength of the vigor gained during , th6 summer. Surely it will pay to at- * tempt the saving of the plantation for a , second fruiting when one considers what ‘ it costs to set a new field even though one J grows his own plants. CONDIMENT STOCK FOODS. Much Is claimed for the stock foods on the market and without doubt many of 1 them are valuable; it is well known, how- 1 ever, that some of them are badly adul- * terated and that others are heavily 1 charged with condiments. These latter are { quite as dangerous as the former for they excise an appetite which is not normal 1 and when the reaction comes the animal is worse off than if it had not eaten the preparation. That animals need an appe- j t'zer is* beyond question and the best way j of feeding those stock foods which contain s condiments is in small quantities and only \ until the normal appetite begins to show ; again when the animal should be tempted \ with small and frequent rations of regular i foods in considerable variety. Under this 5 plan there will be little or no danger -n j the stock food that is partly composed of j chemicals. DOES CARE OF ORCHARDS PAY? An apple grower in Ohio recently made the statement before a gathering of fruit growers that the net return from his ten acre apple orchard prior to the time when he began to give it intelligent care, aver aged less than $100 a year. Since it has had the proper care the profit has increased yearly until the end of the ninth year of good care showed a profit that season of $1,800. As this particular man has been an experienced fruit grower for more than thirty years the success of the past year cannot be charged to added knowledge or experience except, perhaps, only as he learned tj spray and cultivate more cor rectly. This experience is only one of thousands and any good orchardist can duplicate It if he will bear in mind that an orchard needs intelligent care. The ravages of insects and disease make spraying imperative. The growth of the tree make it necessary that the fertility of the soil be kept up. Look into these things thoroughly and make a business of fruit growing if you engage in It at all. If you do not think there is anything in the mulch idea then be guided by the ex An Old Goldsmith Volums. Atlanta Constitution: An old volume which an Atlanta booklover prizes was found in an old bookshop recently. It| Is "The History of Rome," by Oliver Goldsmith. Goldsmith's name takes; one back to the literary fellows of that day—the hack work they did to keepi life In them, for when Goldsmith was at work writing that history he was: doing twenty different things besides— little odds and ends that brought money; for his daily bread, with a scolding landlady laying down the law to him; for it was the time when the great Dr. Johnson "thought himself lucky when he could dine in a cellar on six pence worth of tripe and a pennyworth, of bread, and wipe his fingers on the back of a Newfoundland dog after his greasy meal!" And to think of the growling that is done by the little authors of the present day! Of Wide Interest. Breed, Wis., June 2G. -(Special.)— Ohas. Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace for Oconto Co., has delivered a judg ment that is of interest to the whole TJnited States. Put briefly, that judg ment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best Kidney medicine on the market to-day.” And Mr. Peterson gives his reason for this judgment. He says: “Last winter 1 had un aching pain in my hack which troubled me very much. In the morning I could hardly straighten my back. I did not know what It was, but an advertisement led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking one box I can only say they have done more for me than expected, as I feel as well now as ever I did before.” Pain in the back is one of the first symptoms of Kidney Disease. If not cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may develop Into Bright’s Disease, Diabetes, Rheumatism or some of tile other dead ly forms of Kidney Disease. Good Advics to New Writers.
