be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be

quires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so

I BERRIES FOR MARKET.
Bt Pays to Raise Them, Provided the
B Crop la Disposed Of In the Right
B Way aad Place.
I Having been asked, by a farmer sub
scriber, if it will pay to grow berries
H>r market, in reply I will say “yes”—
H the business is managed right, and
Hie crop disposed of in the right way
Hnd place. A good many of our
H>wns are not properly supplied with
Berries; what they get. if any, are
Becond class—the overflow or refuse
Brom the cities, where the market is
, often glutted. The commission men
| send circulars out before the berries
| are ripe, giving prices of berries shipped
from the south, inducing many home
growers to ship. By the time their ber
ries get ripe the demand is supplied,
prices drop, and the berries being a per
ishable product, have to be sold for
what they will bring.
My advice is to grow berries for local
market towns that are not well supplied.
Such places can be found in the west;
land can be bought for less than half
that close to large cities, pickers are
cheap, and, as a rule, more reliable.
Berries that get too ripe on account of
rain, and which will not do to ship, can
be sold In the home market; all the
rough handling of the railroad men,
shipping expenses, commissions, etc.,
are saved, also crates and boxes. Then
when consumers get fresh, wholesome,
home grown berries, they often get twice
as many, and the growers in the local
market often can regulate the price.
It is a mistake to plant too large an
acreage. We have to pay two cents a
quart for pickers; one cent for straw
berries and blackberries ana one and
one-half to two cents for raspberries.
The pickers can make good wages. I
have had boys and girls under 16 years
old make a dollar a day. * I, 18 years
ago, sold as high as $40 worth of straw
berries in a day. I remember selling
five dollars worth of raspberries from
one picking off one row the length of ten
acres. Blackberries, 12 or more years
ago, were not profitable, as so many
j grew wild; but of late years, growing
i blackberries has become more profitable

PROTECTION FOR PLANTS.
A Simple System AVhieli WITI Pny tor
Itself iu the Course of a
Single Week.
Market gardeners, and even the mak
er of a kitchen garden, feel the need of
some wholesale means of protecting
newly set plants from the drying effects
of sun or air. A cloudy day is usually
tak^n for transplanting, but the sun
may come out with scorching heat at
! any moment, and much harm be done to
i unshaded plants. Make a reel, as shown

a yard wide, and as long as the rows of
plants over which it is to be used. The
cloth oan be divided into three strips,
each strip being tacked at one end to a
real, and at the other end to a 15-inch
; rod of wood. Stick the sides of the reel
! into the earth at one end of the row with
I wire supports at intervals along the row,
i and pull the cloth along over the plants,
| fastening the end at the last wire sup
j port, as shown In the cut. Occasionally
i slip a wire support down over the cloth
! to keep the latter from blowing off the
1 wire supports below it. Wind up the

TBe Rtwht Way of Pruning.
Set a green hand to pruning trees,
where limbs of any size are to b* re
moved, and the chances are ten to one
that he will commence on the tf&per
side of the limb and saw it off, sawing
through until, by it* own weight, it falls,
tearing down'the bark and wood, inflict
ing an ugly wound which it may require
year* to h«al, and which, if not carefully
protected from the weather, will cause
such decay as to destroy the tree. To
prevent injury to the tree, saw ofle
fourth or one-third through on the under
side, and then saw on the upper side, or,
with very large limbs, to have them sup
ported by a crotched pole, held by an **
etetant below.—N. Y. Tribune-Farmer.
Starting Ewly Vegetable*.
Select a warm, sunny place, dig a
trench four feet deep, All with horse ma
i nure well paoked down and made moiBt,
put on six inches fine soil, cover with
sash and let stand a few days. Then
plant sweet potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes
and celery. If the bed is big enough, cut
! choice Irish potatoes to one eye, fill
small pasteboard boxes with soil anfl
plant one in each. When soil is warm
enough they can easily be transplanted.
Cover the bed with heavy straw matting
and boards in cold storms. The back
part of the bed should be raised so the
sash slopes to the south to catch the rays
of the sun and carry off rain.—M. Peet,
In Farm and Home.

LIFE ON A TORPEDO BOAT.
_
The Men Have to Take Their Sleep
and Food in “Catch as Catch
Can” Fashion.
A man on a torpedo boat has to catch
his sleep “on the fly.” and he becomes
exceedingly expert, being young and
adaptable, at making up the required
amount of slumber in little mosaics of
an hour now, half an hour then and ten
minutes later on. He becomes accus
tomed to drop into a doze whenever a
favorable minute arrives and he is not
on duty, and to stay in that condition
until a sudden lurch of the boat shakes
it out of him. Never at sea does he ex
pect to be able to turn in for a full
night’s sleep, says a writer in the Boston j
Globe.
This difficulty of sleeping on a torpedo ,
boat at sea is one of the principal rea- !
sons why the fleet of destroyers sent tc
Manila had an itinerary arranged for it
which provided for 90 days spent in port
and only 70 at sea. This'90 days of rest
against 70 of active seagoing is calculat
ed to be about the limit of endurance of
a picked crew on a torpedo boat. A de
stroyer, it must me remembered, is only
a torpedo boat of a larger growth, and
not so much larger as to make any mate
rial difference in the amount of discom
fort and strain put upon the crew, espe
cially where the theater of action is the
open ocean.
A man who has had much service on a
torpedo boat said to the writer:
“It is not only sleep with which you
have to play catch as catch can on board
a torpedo boat, but you have to play tag
with your food as well. If there was
anything like a sea on, we never used to
think of sitting down to table, but took
such food as we could get in one hand
and ate it while we held on with the
other.
“A great part of the time cooking was
next to impossible, and cold canned
stuff, or what was left over of the stuff
which had been cooked in port, had to
suffice us, and we grabbed that as we
could and when we could.
“The cook always, or almost always,
used to make coffee for us, though how
he managed it was a mystery, for.
though he used to lash the coffee pot j
to the top of the stove and toe down j
the lid, the pitching and the rolling of
the boat in a heavy seaway would spill
a large portion of the contents of the pot
out through the spout.
“Then cookey would put a cork in
the mouth of the spout, and wrhen the
boiling coffee generated steam enough
the lid would blow off, or the cork would
fly out. Altogether, it was only by the
exercise of indefatigable energy and
skill of the sort which ought to have
been recognized in general orders that
finally enough coffee would be manufac
tured to give each man a cup.”
THE SYRIAN BARBER BOWL.
A Novelty in Tonsorial Utensils That
Is Popular with Some New
Yorkers.
“I have quite a number of novelties
from my country,” said the Syrian bar
ber in Washington street, relates the
New York Times, “but I keep them for
my American customers. The Syrians

course, once in awhile an old mountain
eer happens in who longs for the ancient
customs, but he is only a bird of pas
sage—a maker of laces or a peddler of
saddlebags—going through the metrop
olis to some other city.
“The Syrian bowl seems to please New
Yorkers most. A number of artists come
to my shop just to have it used on them.
Here it is. Quite ornate, isn’t it They’re
not all alike, but I keep this one because
my customers admire the inlaid work on
it, and while I’m shaving them I enter
tain them with the story of it or the in
dustries of the villagers who produce this
kind of merchandise. The shape is the
egg-basin. The semicircular brim fits
the neck of the customer, and if he likes
he can use silver wire clasps about the
ears. In Syria the lather is made right
in the bowl with the hand and applied
by the hand to the face of the customer,
but New Yorkers won’t have that, they
like the brush dipped in. The native
brush is unique, made of soft split grass,
but only my people stand for it; the
smooth, tender skin of Yankees can’t
stand its harshness of fiber.
My people like plenty of perfume put in
the bowl, but perfumes and scented
soaps make Anglo-Saxons mad. Weuse
moistened, scented clay after shaving
as a sort of powder for the face. It is
splendid for the skin and acts as a disin
fectant, but though I import quite a lot
of it from the mountain country, I have
a hard time to get rid of it among my for
eign clients. Lately some ladies have
been buying it to use in their cosmetics.
They are finding out its medicinal quali
ties, and they don’t have the prejudice
against it that the men seem to have.
A society woman happened into my shop
a day or two ago and bought a Syrian
barber bowl and an ear razor for shav-.
ing the inside of the ear. These razors
are fine things, and all the nobility u^e ■
them at home. I showed her how to j
handle the blade and told her to be care
ful and always employ the tiny ear-mir-!
ror with it.
"She thanked me, but replied: “Oh,
dear me, I wouldn’t use that beautiful
thing for any horrid purpose like that.
I want it for an ornament; a sort of book
leaf cutter.’ ’’
Tempting Sandwiches.
At an afternoon tea some particular
ly attractive open sandwiches were
served. Rounds of bread were spread
with a mixture of cream cheese and
finely chopped olives. Around the
edge of each larger pieces of olives
formed a sort of wreath and directly in
the center was a piece of olive. Brown
bread sandwiches made of cream
I cheese and chopped olives are particu
larly delicious. Chopped green peppers
may also be mixed with them.—Detroit
