"Go ahead and get spliced if you want
to, and think about the bread after
wards," the most of them say to young
people who are in love and poverty at
itie same time. They may be right,
but Love is a mighty fine thing, but
when it conies to the test It's the most
material thing in tho world. You can
keep the body without food for a week
and not be more than a few pounds the
worse for it but did you ever try to
keep love on a starvation basis? Next
time you see Sue and put your arm
around her and tell her you could do
it forever, try it for twenty-four hours.
See if you don't get mighty tired in the
arms and empty in the stomach before
the time is up. If you are good for the
test and at the end of the twenty-four
hours still have no desire to break your
affectionate hold, marry the girl, no mat
ter what you are making. You'll get
along some way. But if you do grow
tired and have Just the faintest wish
to dodge 8ue for a moment and go to
the larder, don't have the knot tied for
awhile yet. You'll save yourself lots
of trouble and worry. Most of the ro
mance of married life on 6 per week

Any man having a large one hundred
acre fruit farm with no children on It
should get In touch with Mr. and Mrs.
John Shandrow, of South Haven,
Mlcb., and learn how to make It blos
som with juvenile gladness. This
worthy couple came to tbe conclusion
that a fruit farm of such dimensions
should raise something else besides
peaches and grapes. Here was a large
farm going to waste so far as child cul
ture was concerned.. Not an urchin
roamed Its broad acres or climbed Its
green trees, or thrust his bare toes In its
fertile soil. In tbe matter of children
tbe fruit farm was barren as Sahara,
while city tenements and orphan
asylums teemed with youngsters
whose natures were being dwarfed and
perverted by lack of contact with
green fields and country air. Instead
of kidnaping the children of neighbor
ing farmers Mr. and Mrs. Shandrow
bit upon the sensible idea of applying
to tbe Smith Foundling Hospital at
Minneapolis, asking It to send them
several children for a summer's out
ing, with tbe privilege of choosing
from them a bey for adoption. In re
sponse there came a consignment of
twenty-two bright, rosy-cheeked
youngsters, the entire visible supply of
children over 3 years old. Of course
this was more than the farmer bar
gained for, but the more be saw of tbe
children the more undecided he was as
to which one to adopt Tbe more he
saw of them the better he liked the
Idea of children on the farm. He and
his good wife finally solved tbe prob
lem by adopting tbe entire collection
of youngsters, and the Smith Found
lings' Home is thus bereft of nearly Its
entire Juvenile population. There's
plenty of room and plenty to eat for
twenty-two children on a hundred-acre
fruit farm. Tbey don't bring as much
In the market as chickens and calves
and peaches, but their value to society
and the State after a few years on tbe
fruit farm will be hard to measure.
We commend tbe example of this
thrifty fruit farmer to tbe owners of
hundreds of acres that never resound
wltb tbe shouts of youngsters.
Makina; Burglars' Tools.
There Is a rich business man of Pbh
adelpbla who got bis start In life
through tbe manufacture of burglars'
tools. He aald tbe other day, confi
dentially: "In my youth I was a machinist but
the business didn't pa? at all. A thick
set man came to me one morning and
showed me a Jimmy. "I'll give you ten
dollars for a duplicate of this,' he said,
and I took him up Joyfully, for In my
Innocence I didn't know what a Jim
my was and, besides, I foresaw a 90
per cent profit In tbe Job. So I made
tbe burglar's tool, and afterward 1
made tho thick-set man some other
Implements, and after that again 1
fixed up an outfit for a friend of his.
"Thus, In a year," continued the
man, according to tbo Philadelphia
Record, 1 had more work than I could
do; eight or ten vlllalnoos-looking la
dl vidua Is brought mo In big orders ev
ery da, and In four years I hare sared
919,000. Then I quit I pulled out and
went Into my present line, which pays
mo well enough, though Its profits art
nothing to those that you wUI find In
burglar tool making. I often wonder
who Inherited my old time trade."

AUSTRALIA'S DROUGHT.
io Copiou Rain Since 1HIM, Sheep
Dead, Bettlers Knitted.
Apart from the general engagement
)f forces in the tariff struggle, a eon
.est is now going on In Australia
ver the duties on cereals and fod
ler. In consequence of the ter
ible desolation caused by the con
:iuuance of the drought, a jtowcrful
igltation has sprung up for the susjm'u
don of these duties. The government
s on the horns of a dilemma. If It
fields to the pastorallsts It alienates the
'armers and plays Into the bands of
(peculators In grain and cattle food. If
t refuses, and the drought does not
!reak, a miniature revolution may oc
:ur In the Interior. It will probably
Ither make a money grant to the dis
tressed districts or allow rebates to
:hose In charge of starving cattle. The
iverage Englishman can scarcely real
ise the horrors of the drought In this
freat country, three-quarters of whose
turface Is always barren and hateful
:o the human race.
Let the mind first take In a few grim
'acts, 7..: (1) That the drought has
dnee WM killed off 30.000,000 sheep In
Queensland and New South Walels; (2j
.hat with brief spells of rain the
lrought has lasted In Central and North
iustralla for seven long years; (,'Jj that
n many wldespreadlng districts the
rainfall has fallen from 22 Inches In
18!)4 to 1.70 Inches last year, and (4)
hat thousands of settlers are absolutely
ulned and have nothing but bank
ruptcy and starvation before them.
Then, let the Imagination bestir itself
ind try to conjure up vistas of wide
itretcbes of grassless plains whitened
with the skeletons of dead sheep. Let
he Londoner endeavor to Imagine him
lelf tall, loose-lltnbed, dry-skinned,
lollow-eyed settler, with a dirty wlde
iwake bat and dull, torn, colorless
rlothes, riding ninety miles on the back
f a half -starred, bony horse for a gal
'on of water and pcrluiii:: he will at
ast ttcgin to realize what the drought
nesns to his Australian cousin. The
tutlook Is Indeed a gloomy oik. If the

train and fodder will brighten It, then,

ON CUPPING EVERGREENS.
Ipruce uad Norway Pines Reqalre At
tentloa Periodically.
There Is a great variance In garden
tig tastes. Some persons abhor any
Alag formal, stiff or In tbe slightest de
cree abnormal; a few will go utterly to
!ho extreme; the remainder bare bal
laced Ideas, admitting both where tbey
Dam tttlng aad proper.
However tastes will disagree, some
plants must have a little attention from
the pruning shears to make them at all
desirable. Many evergreens msy be
thus classified, but necessity only de
mands very slight attention. Retlnia
poras and pines are usually much ben
efited by a slight shearing every two
years. Hemlock and Norway spruce
may also be so treated to their advan
tage, and yews as well.
To accomplish the desired end, which
Is that of preventing bareness of the
lower limbs and to encourage a degree
of compactness without absolute for
mality, the occasional shearing Bhould
take place after new growth has ad
vanced several Inches, about half being
cut sway, says a writer in Median's
Monthly. This check to natural ad
vancement causes the growth of lateral
buds and consequently a more com
pact appearance.
The spruce and any otht r evergreens
of rapid growth and that form larger
trees should be trimmed to ;'rnw some
what conical. If allowed to become
broader above than below the stronger
upper branches will eventually rob the
lower of nourishment and make them
weak and more or lens bar of foliage.
If shearing be neglected at the time
designated It may be done late In the
growing season, If before growth Is
quite completed. Then strong buds will
be formed for another season's growth.
The pruning of pipes should be done
by pinching back the young growth
while it Is soft and brittle.
Old News 1 No News.
A good newspaper tries to give the
people fresh news and to "dress up"
old news In an attractive form. Most
people like to hear again what they
already know, but readers are few In
deed who would approve the novel at
titude of the editor of a German paper
published In America. He was very
matter-of-fact, says the Washington
Tost, but a faithful, hard worker.
One night there was a great fire
which destroyed the entire block oppo
site the newspaper office. The whole
town turned out to see it, and the
streets were crowded. The proprietor
of the paper did not go out, but lay In
bed dreaming of the fine display the
story of the fire would make on the
first page of his Journal the next morn
ing. But when he opened the sheet at
breakfast, there was not a word about
the fire. With wrath In his eye he
went to the office and burst Into the
sanctum of his German editor.
"Why," he thundered, "is there no
mention In this morning's Issue of the
fire across the street last night?"
"Ach. meln lleber Herr," said the edi
tor, calmly, "for vy vaste s,o much gut
paper? Kfrybody vas In de street, und
see de fire himself. Vy should re tell
de t'ings vat de people seen already?
Shall ve de news print or rat efrybody
knows? I)ey haf seen de fire, but do
dey know dat Schleler has lost his dog?
No. So I have dat printed."
An Old One Recalled.
The fact that an Irish story, though
trite. Is always pat, was Illustrated
yesterday, when District Attorney
Beeves told this anecdote:
"Some people object to releasing pris
oners on a floater because of the fact
that the renegades are turned loose
upon other communities. That re
minds me of the Irishman who, after
reaching America, was full of home
sick brag, In which nothing in America
even approached things of a similar
variety In Ireland. In speaking of the
bees of the ould sod he grew especially
roseate and said:
"Whoy, th' baie in that counthry Is
twice as big as In'thls. Indade, they're
bigger than that. They're as big as
th' shape ye have In this counthry!"
"Bees as big as sheep!" said his In
credulous listener. "Why, what kind
of hives do they have to keep them
inr
"No bigger than th' ones In this coun
thry," was the reply.
"Then how do the bees get Into the
hives?" he was asked.
"Well," replied the Irishman, "thot's
their own dom lookout." Los Angeles

Tennyson's Tactlessness.
Several stories are told of Tennyson's
thoughtless speeches. "What fish Is
this?" he once asked bis hostess when

"The meanest fisb there Is," he remark
ed, quite unconscious that he could
have wounded any one's feelings.
Yet bis kindness of heart wus such
that when his partridge was afterward
given him almost raw he ate steadily
through It, for fear his hostess might
be vexed.
On one occasion Tennyson wss very
rude to Mrs. Brotherton, a neighbor at
Freshwater. The next day be came to
her bouse with a great cabbage under
