Camping in Germany.,
The latest discovery la Geraaay Is
ping! S. Jallen writes about
It In the Berlin Tageblatt as. "die neu
este Sorjuner-Roinantik."' "Ut so
new ' tilings," ne says, -me
ping summer amueemeatF comes
to uu from the, far west by-way, .of
France. American youths it'wasC pu
pils, students, who first introduced it"
The Americans, he goes ontfo inform
his 'countrymen, convinced that the
comforts of life ia cities tend toward
effeminacy, 'make' a regular sport of
camping:, Nbtvdniy during the sub
mer vacation, but often' over Sunday
they go aion in couples, In fam
ilies, inclubs-to forest or shore.
Sleeping ia the open air steels their
nerves, while rod and rifle provide ad
ditional recreation. Mr. Julien'sus
pects that Trapper-romantlk'' and
inherited ancestral love of adventure
throw light on. this American p spe
siatyr. Possibly, he adds, the paucity
of "Erholungsstatte" has .something
to do with it There he is, of course,
mistaken, but bis guess suggests the
tnM reason, no doubt why the Ger
mans themselves have not heretofore
known' the delights of camping. A
German never takes a walk or excur
sion that does not end at an "Er
holungsstatte a tavern or beer gar
den. Supply .follows the demand,
and Inns are so abundant even in
out-of-the-way places, that tenting
seems a superfluity, if not an absurd
ity. For students, who, most of all,
might feel inclined to "rough it" un
der canvas, dozens of special inns
have actually been built in the moun
tainous regions of Germany. It re
mains to be seen, says the New York
Post what effect fashion will have
!n acclimating this new American fad,
which is said to appeal particularly to
automobilists!
The Inspiration of Human Love.
A little story comes from Geneva,
Switzerland, that brings out the
thought that human love and devotion,
yes, and self-sacrifice, know no race
boundaries. The heroine was Berthe
Gallard, a 19-year-old orphan, who in
this country would be known as a
."hired girL" She worked for kind peo
ple and cared for three children. She
loved them like a mother. A fire broke
out in the house, and the parents
rushed into the street in search of
help, leaving the three little ones in
an upper room. Berthe Gallard passed
through the flames, wrapped two chil
dren in sheets and carried them safe
ly. The roof was falling in, but she
went back for the third child. She
found it and as the stairs were gone
she appeared at a window, wreathed
in flames, and tossed the baby into
willing hands. Then she leaped from
the window herself and was rushed to
a hospital. She was burned from head
to foot She whispered: "Please
bring the children," kissed them, then
turned to her employers, said: "Don't
cry. It is all right I did only my
duty" and died. The inspiration for
the greatest courage is human love,
says the Chicago Journal. It maybe
love for children, .for men, or for
women, but the fact remains that
there is no finer emotion. It brings
the greatest Joy. It turns self-sacri-flee
into happiness, and the mere giv
ing up of life, with all its attractions,
seems a little thing where the love
Is true.
Rules for Panama Hats.
Mr. William C. Hesse, who is the
government authority on Panama'
hats, gives the following rules for the
care of your best Panama, says Tech
nical World Magazine. Don't crush
np a Panama hat as though it were
a cloth cap. It cannot stand such
treatment; it will break. The stories
of the Indestructibility of Panama
'hats are untrue. Don't attempt to
clean a Panama hat yourself except
with soap and water. It is folly to
ase lemon or acid on this sort of
hat, and It' Is the. height of folly to
let the irresponsible and Ignorant
street fakir do your cleaning, for he
invariably uses the rankest acid. Don't
fall to brush your Panama at least
once ,a day. Straw hats should be
brushed as often as derby hats. I
trash mine twice a day, and It. is as
clean at the end of the summer as it
was at the beginning. Don't fail to
remove e crease that may be any
where la your hat . Such a crease is
bound to cat the straw. Don't be
careless of your Panama hat Treat
it with consideration, and It will last
yoa all your life.

to himself. And then more pointedly
to the foreman: "BridgeDuUders to

Mike. Why wasn't this break flUed
in the grading?"
"Sure, sorr, 'tis a dhrain it is," said
the Irishman; "from the placer up
beyant" he added, pointing to a
washed-out excoriation on the steep
-upper slope of the mountain. "Major
Evarts did be tellin' us we'd have the
lawyers either us hot-fut again if we
didn't be lavin ut open the full

. "Mmph." said Adams, looking the
Igrouqd.over with a critical eye. fs

.it wasn't frozen solid. Who owns the

G. B. divils. It's' more throuble well
be hi vin here? I'm thinking.''
While they lingered a shrill whistle;
echoing among the cliffs of the upper
gorge like an eldritch laugh announced
the coming of a train from the direc
tion of Carbonate. Adams looked at
his watch; : , - ," '-
"I'd like to know what that Is," he
mused. ""It's two hours too soon for
the accommodation. By Jove!"
The exclamation directed, itself at. a
one-car train "which came thundering
down the canyon to puil in on the
siding beyond the Rosemary. The car
was a passenger-coech,. well lighted,
and from his post on the embankment
Adams could see armed men filling the
windows. Michael Branagan saw
them, too, and the fighting Celt in
him rose to the occasion.
" Tis Donny'brook'Fair we've 'cone
to this time, Misther Adams. Shall I
call up the b'ys wid their guns?"
"Not yet Let's wait and see what
"happens."
What happened was a peaceful
sortie. Two men, each with a kit of
some kind borne in a sack, dropped
from the car, crossed .the creek and
struggled up the hill through the un
bridged gap. Adams waited until they
were fairly on the right of way, then
he called down to them.
"Halt there! you. two. This is cor
poration property."
"Not much it ain't! retorted one of
the trespassers, gruffly. "It's the
drain-way from our placer up yonder."
"What are you going to do up there
at this time of night?"
"None o' your blame business!" was
the explosive counter-shot
"Perhaps it isn't" said Adams, mild
ly. "Just the same, I'm thirsting to
know. Call it vulgar curiosity if you
like."
"All right you can know, and be
cussed to you. We're goln to work
our claim. Got anything to say
against it?"
"Oh, no,"- rejoined Adams; and when
the twain had disappeared in the up
per darkness he went down the grade
with Branagan and took bis place on
the man-loaded flats for the run to
the construction camp, thinking more
of the lately arrived car with its com
plement of armed men than of the
two miners who had calmly announced
their intention of working a placer
claim on a high mountain, without
water, and in the dead of winter! . By
which it will be seen that Mr. Morton
P. Adams, C E. Inst Tech. Boston,
had something 'yet to learn In" the
matter of practical field work.
By the time Ah Poo had served him
his solitary supper in the dinkey. he
had quite lorgotten the incident of the
mysterious placer miners. Worse
than that it had never occurred to
him to connect their movements with
the Rajah's plan of campaign. On the
other hand, he was thinking altogeth
er of the carload c. armed men, and
trying to devise some means of finding
put how they were to be employed in
furthering the Rajah's designs.
The means suggested themselves
kfter supper, and he went alone over
jto Argentine to spend a half-hour in
the bar of the dance hall listening to
the gossip of the place. When he had
earned what he wanted to know, he
jtorthfared to meet Winton at the in
coming train.
"We are .in for it now,' he said,
when they had crossed the creek to
the dinkey and the Chlnatian was
bringing Winton's belated supper.
"The Rajah has imported a carload
cf armed mercenaries, and he Is going
to clean us an oat to-morrow; arrest
everybody from the gang foreman up."
Winton's eyebrows lifted. "So? that
Ia a pretty large contract Has he
men enough to do it?"
"Not so many men. But they are
sworn-in deputies with the sheriff of
Ute county in command- a posse, in
fact So he has the law on his side."
"Which is more than he had when
he set a thug on me this afternoon at
Carbonate," said Winton, sourly; and
he told Adams about the misunder
standing In the lobby of the Bucklng-
The technologian whistled under his
breath! "By Jove! that's pretty rough.
Do you suppose the Rajah dictated
any such Lucretia Borgia thing as
that?"
Winton took time to think about it
and' admitted' a, doubt as he had not
before. Believing Mr. SomervUle Bar
ren fit for 'treasons, stratagems, and
spoils. In hls'oflcial capacity. of vice
president of a fighting corporation, he
was none the less disposed to find ex
cuses for Miss Virginia Carteret's
uncle.
"I did think so at first but I guess
It was only the misguided seal of some
understrapper. Of course, word has
gone out all along the C. tt G. R. line
that we are to be delayed by every
possible expedient"
But now Adams had also taken time
to tank, ant he shoo ale
"For common humanity's sake I
wish I could agree,with you. Jack.
But I can't Mr. Darrah dictated that
move in his own proper person."
"How do you know that?"
1
Adams' answer took the form of a
leading question. "Ton had a mes
sage from me this afternoon?"
"I did."
"What did you think of it?"
"I thought you might have left put
the first part of it; also that you
might have made the latter. half'ta
good bit more explicit if you had put
your mind to it"
A alow smile' spread' itself over the
technologian's impassive face, and he
lighted another cigarette.
"Every man has ais limitations," he
said. "I did the. best I could under
the existing circumstances. But you
will understand: the Rajah knew very
well what he was about otherwise
there would have been no telegram."'
Winton sent the Chinaman out for
another cup of tea before' he said:
"Did Miss Carteret come here alone?"
"Oh, no; Calvert came with her."
"What brought them here?"
Adams spread his hands.
"What makes any woman do pre
cisely the most unexpected thing?
You'll have to go back of me say to
Confucius or beyond to find that
out"
Winton was silent for a moment
balancing his spoon, on the tip oi his
finger. Finally he said: "1, hope you
did what you could to make it pleas
ant for her not that there was much
to be don'1 in such a God-forsaken
chaos as a construction camp."
"I did. And I didn't hear her com
plain of the chaos. She seemed as in
terested as a school gin particularly
in your sketches."
"That was low-down in you, Morty.
I wouldn't have shown you up that
way."
Adams chuckled reminiscently. "Had
to do it to make my day-before-yester-day
lie hold water. And she was im
mensely taken with the scrawls, es
pecially with one of them."
Winton flushed under the bronze.
ITS JUST ABOUT
"I suppose I don't need to ak which
one."
Adams' grin was a measure of his
complacence. He was coming off
easier than he had anticipated.
"Well, hardly."
"She took it away with her?"
"Took it, or tore it up, I forget
which.'
Winton's look was that of a man
distressed.
"Tell me, Morty, was she very an
gry?" The technologian took the last hint
of laughter out of his eyes before he
said solemnly: "You'll never know
how thankful I was that you were
20 miles away."
Winton's cup was full, and he turned
the talk abruptly to the industrial do
ings and accomplishments of the day.
Adams made a verbal report which led
him by successive . steps up to the
twilight hour when he had stood with
Branagan on the brink of the placer
drain, but, strangely enough, there was
no stirring of memory to recall the in
cident of the upward climbing miners.
When Winton jose he vsaid some
thing about 'mounting a night guard
on the engine, which was kept under
steam at all hours; and shortly after
wards he left the dinkey ostensibly
to do it declining Adams' offer of
company. But once out-of-doors Le
ellmbed straight to the operator's tent
on the snow-covered slope. Carter
had turned In, but he sat up in his
bunk at the noise of the, intrusion,
blinking sleepily at the flare of Win
ton's match.
"That you, Jfr. Winton? Want to
send something?" he asked.
"No; go to sleep. Ill write a wire
and .leave it for yon to send in the
morning." .
He sat oown at the packing-case in
strument table and wrote out a brief
report of the day's progress In track
laying for the general manager's rec
ord. But when Carter's regular breath
ing told him he was alone he pushed
the pad aside, took down the sending
book and searched until he had found
the original coir of the message
which had reached him at the moment
of cataclysms in the lobby, of the
Buckingham.
"Urn," he said, and his heart grew
Yawm v ' aunaV

bufied-in sflence "and in darkness save

He was not qulbVeady to go back to
Adams, and after making a round of
the camp. and bidding the engine
watchman keep a. sharp lookout
against, a possible night surprise, he
set out to walk over the newly laid
track of the day. .... . .
Another half-hour had elapsed, and
a waning moon -was clearing, the top
most .crags of Pacific Peak, when he
came out on the high embankment op
posite the Rosemary, having traversed
the entire length of the lateral loop
and inspected the trestle at the gulch
head by the lights of a blazing fir
branch. The station with its two one-car
trains, and the shacks of the little
mining camp beyond, lay shimmering
ghost-like In. the new-born light of the
moon. The engine of the sheriff's car
was humming softly with a note like
the distant swarming of bees, and
from the dance hall in Argentine the
snort of trombone and the tinkling
clang of a cracked piano floated out
upon the frosty night air.
Winton turned to go back. The
windows of the Rosemary were aU
dark, and there was nothing to stay
for. So he thought at all events; but
ii he had not been musing abstracted
ly upon things widely separated from
his present surroundings, he might
have remarked -'two tiny stars of lan
tern light high on the placer ground
above the embankment; or, faUing
the sight, he might have heard the
dull, measured slumph of a churn-drill
burrowing deep in the frozen earth of
the slope.
As it was, a pair of brown eyes
blinded him, and the tones of a voice
sweeter than the songs of Oberon's
sea maid filled his ears. Wherciore
he neither saw nor heard; and taking
the short cut across the mouth of the
lateral gulch back to camp, he boarded
the dinkey and went to. bed without
disturbing Adams.
The morning of the day to come
broke clear and still, with the stars
paling one by one at the pointing fin
ger of the dawn, and the frost-rime
lying thick and white like a snowfall
of erect and glittering needles on iron
and steel and wood.

ers were getting out their hand csr
at the construction camp, the wheels
shrilling merrily on the frosted rails,
and the men stamping and swinging
their arms to start the sluggish night
blood. ' Suddenly, like the opening gun
of a battle, the dull rumble of a
mighty explosion trembled upon the
still air. followed instantly by a sound
of a passing avalanche.
Winton was out and running up the
track before the camp was fairly
aroused. What he saw when he
gained the hither side of the lateral
gulch was a sight to make a strong
man weep. A huge landslide, starting
from the frozen placer ground high
up on the western promontory, had
swept every vestige of track and em
banient into the deep bed of the
creek at a point precisely opposite Mr.
Somerville Darrah's private car.

Wondering what dreadful thing had
happened, she hurried out upon the
observation platform and so came to
look upon the ruin wrought by the
landslide, while the dust-like smoke of
the dynamite still hung in the air.
"Rather unlucky for our friend3 the
enemy." said a colorless voice behind
her; and she had an uncomfortable
feeling that Jastrow had been lying in
wait for her. seconded instantly by the
conviction that:he had done the same
thing the previous morning.

squaring up the year's accounts.
Remember this when buying a cow:
As a rule, men do not sell their best

A correspondent from Arkansas
says: Keep your eye on our apple
orchards. There are over 3.000,000
trees growing in the state and they
will soon be producing big crops. In
matter of quality and color Arkansas
apples rank high, and they brought
the growers of two counties $3,00,000
in one year an average of over one
dollar per tree, big and Utile.
There is a so-called "farmers' own
ticket" In New York state with Capt
William C. Clark, a statesman-farmer
of Constantia, as candidate for gov
ernor. Whether he will be as success
ful In raising votes as he is in raising
grain, remains to be seen. Certain it
is that he win find that the former
crop will have to be cultivated in a
different manner from those he has
been accustomed to raise.
' Farmers' unions In the Indian terri
tory, or rather now the new state of
Oklahoma, are said to have estab
lished warehouses and clearing houses
with a view to protecting their inter
ests against the speculators in farm
products, especially cotton. In addi
tion to 'the warehouses for storing .the
'cotton until satisfactory prices can be
obtained, the farmers are buying cot
ton gins and propose to ga their own
cotton. Why not. such unions? Why
should not farmers so cooperate as
to secure the very best possible prices'
for their products?
The quality of the salt used In the
dairy la of vital importance, for it
serves four purposes in butter and
cheese making. It expels buttermilk
or whey. It augments the keeping
quantities of butter. It serves to. pro
mote the ripening of cheese and It
accentuates flavor. It can be easUy
appreciated that if the salt contain
Impurities, it win affect 'the butter
and cheese. An ideal butter salt
should be pure white, of a uniform,
thin flaky grain of medium sue, with
out 1U odor, and' be' nearly free from
the bitter salts and dirt The ideal
cheese salt may be similarly de
scribed,, save that the grain may be
larger. '
The spirit of union among the farm
ers has spread to Washington, and
reports state that 'articles of tacorpora

A good method of handling and
rearing a calf is to take it from the

to teach it" to drink from a pail. This
can be easily domv by putting -the

trying and it will drink by itself. The
pure warm milk should be fed for a
week or so. when ii can be fed on
skimmed milk, to which it win be well
to add a little meal or shipstuff, espe
cially if the calf does not run on pas

be fed good timothy or clover hay.

Here is another story, told by the
Detroit (Mich.) News, which shows
how invaluable the telephone has
come to be on the farm: The team of
a farmer near Sherwood sank in a
mire on his farm and the horses were
slowly going under when he thought
of bis telephone. Soon he had a gang
of a 'dozen phone wire stretchers, with
implements, on a race for the farm.
Their arrival was timely, the breath
ing aparatus o the animals being still
above ground. By using the stretch
ing machinery the horses were
dragged from the bog. The rural tele
phone' is itself a great thing for the
farmers, but this being provided with
a troop of roustabouts for emergencies,
all for the low price of the phone, is
worth taking into the equation.

Harry Snyer reports the fqHowing:
If applied to a worn-out sott at the
rate of eight tons per acre, the in
crease In corn the first year will be
20 to 25 bushels per acre. This would
be worth $7. The next year the land
will produce six bushels more of
wheat worth, say, 4.50. If seeded to
clover It would yield at least n ton
more of hay, worth $5. FoUowing the
clover with wheat again, a gain of
eight bushels per acre, worth $6, will
follow. Then wiU come 12 to 15 bush
els more of oats, worth $3. The in
crease in the five crops, due to the
dressing of eight tons of farm manure
and the production of clover, is alone
worth $25, making the value of the
manure $3 per ton distributed over
five acres, equivalent to 60 cents per
ton as the annual crop-producing value'
of the manure.
A study of crop conditions in Europe
indicates that the United States will
find a good market for her immense
crops of this year. The yield In
France promises to be of the average
quantity, probably reaching 319.000,
000 bushels, and of exceptionally good
quality. But on the other hand in
Russia, the biggest of the old-world's
wheat producers, with an average an
nual output of over 500,000,000 bush

the poor and discontent among the
people, and Russia would seem to have

numbers. The department of agricul
ture desires to be informed of the
presence of such epidemics, with a
view to isolating and preserving the
microbes for use in destroying mam
mals Injurious to agriculture. You
will greatly oblige, therefore, by in
forming the department of the pres

demic diseases among wild mammals,

eases are usually Indicated by the
presence of numerous sick or dead
animals."
