SHE WAS ALL PREPARED.
So That When Hobson Sneezed His
Good Wife Was Bight There
with the Bemedy.
Mr. Hobson sneezed and Mrs. Hobson
remarked that he must have caught
cold. Mr. Hobson is one of those men
who hate to have a fuss made over them.
He has been trying to impress that fact
on his wife's mind for 20 years, relates
the Chicago Daily News.
“What makes you think I’ve taken
cold ?” he demanded, irritably.
“You sneezed,’’ replied Mrs. Hob
son.
“That doesn’t signify—” He paused.
“But it does ‘signify.’ It is one of the
first signs of a cold. You went out with
the ashes this morning without a thing
round your neck.”
“I always do.”
“And now you’ve caught cold."
Mr. Hobson returned to the reading of
his newspaper without replying. In a
few moments Mrs. Hobson said:
“Henry.”
“Well?”
“You’ve got to do something for that
cold."
“Can’t I sneeze without being accused
of a cold? Is there any law against
sneezing, or do I have to get a permit
from the health department?”
“I don’t see anything foolish in taking
a cold in time,” Mrs. Hobson said, calm
ly. “If you would let me put ypur feet
in hot water and mustard, and get you to
bed—’”
Mr. Hobson resumed his paper, and as
he did so he felt an annoying tickling in
his nose. He struggled heroically for
nearly half a minute. Then he sneezed
again.
“There-” said Mrs. Hobson, in melan
choly triumph. “You’ve sneezed again! ”
“I’ve sneezed twi<?e, and I’m not
ashamed of it,” Hobson replied, coldly.
“If I feel like it, I’m going to sneeze
again. I’m—”
J.U1QO OUV/OVOU1 T O UUU f 1W1V/UK WbViUU
tations interrupted him.
“Now will you let me heat that water,
Henry?”
“No, thank you.”
“Will you take some quinine, then?”
“No.”
Mrs. Hobson sighed.
“Sneezes,” Mr. Hobson explained,
are convulsions caused by an irritation
of a sensitive membrane. The irritation
may be caused by the introduction of any
small particle of foreign matter, such as
a grain of dust. Snuff has been known
to produce a sneeze; so has pepper. You
can get up a fairly good imitation by
tickling the nostrils with a straw. It is
not, as you imagine, an infallible indi
cation of a cold.”
“I suppose,” said Mrs. Hobson, reflect
ively, “that you would object to an onion
poultice, too?”
Hobson rose from his chair and started
for the door. With his hand on the
knob he paused to say, with dignity:
“I’m going up to my room now. I’ve got
some work to do, so I guess I had better
be alone for the rest of tjie evening.”
Hobson sneezed twice on the way up
stairs. Then the door of his den closed
explosively. Fifteen minutes later the
door opened and Hobson’s voice called
down the stairs: “Maria!”
“What is it. dear?”
“Say, if you think I really ought to
take a hot foot bath I suppose it won’t
do any particular harm, whether I’ve
got a cold or not. Would it be troubling
you too much to heat the water?”
Mrs. Hobson’s voice replied cheer
fully:
“It’s all ready now, dear. I’ve heated
It and got some blankets nice and hot.
When you’re ready I’ll bring them up.”
A WORD WITH THE GIRLS.
Learn to Do the Little Things That
Give Enjoyment to Yourself
and Others.
It is the girl who does things in this
world who is attractive, both to men
and to her own sex, which last count*
a little, too, in the .long run. You may
n/\t hn n hi a tn /I a rrmot t'h {n rre t/v no inf
great pictures or to sing in grand
opera, but you ’ can learn to make
bright little things for yourself and
your friends and perhaps the light
“catchy” airs of the day so that your
friends will enjoy them, and if you
can’t do anything else cultivate the
art of talking brightly and of being
sympathetic, says Good Housekeep
ing.
Every girl can do one thing well il
she will only take the trouble to find
out what that thing is. The difficulty
is that she often looks in the opposite
direction; she wants to do something
great and showy or nothing at all. Bui
there are other talents within reach il
she will only look, and these talent*
may be such a comfort to her in her
dark hours that they will make life
better and happier both for herself and
those about her.
How the world likes a cheerful
plucky girl who makes a brave fight
and hides her skeleton in a closet in
stead of folding her hands and whin
ing because things don’t come her way
—the girl who puts her own griefs
as much as possible aside and whc
takes a wholesome interest in life—is
the one who wins out every time.
Patties a la Mazarin.
Give six turns to half a pound of puff
paste, roll out to the thickness of a
penny-piece; stamp out two dozen tops
with a plain circular cutter, about one
inch and a half in diameter; gather up
the trimmings, knead together, roll out
and stamp two dozen more; place on a
baking-sheet, about an inch and a half
apart, and wet them with a soft brush;
garnish the center of each with a little
force meat of any kind, place the tops on
them and use the upper part of a smaller
cutter to press them down, so as to
fasten the two parts together; they must
then be egged over and baked in a rather
brisk oven; when done, dish up on a
napkin and serve.—Boston Budget

BERRIES FOR MARKET.
It Pars to Raise Them, Provided the
Crop Is Disposed Of In the Right
Way and Place.
Having been asked, by a farmer sub
scriber, if it will pay to grow berries
for market, in reply I will say “yes"—
if the business is managed right, and
the crop disposed of in the right way
and place. A good many of our
towns are not properly supplied with
berries; what they get. if any, are
second class—the overflow or refuse
from 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. Thbn
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 and 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
grew wild; but of late years, growing
blackberries has become more profitable.
—Jacob Faith, in Midland Farmer.
PROTECTION FOR PLANTS.
A Simple System Which Will Pay for
Itself in the Coarse 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
taken for transplanting, but the sun
may come out with scorching heat at
any moment, and mach harm be done to
unshaded plants. Make a reel, as shown
in the accompanying Illustration, and a
lot of wire supports, using No. 12 wire.
Make the, reel roller and the wire sup
ports about a foot wide.
Now buy a lot of cheap cotton cloth
PROTECTOR IN OPERATION.
a yard wide, ami as long as the rows of
plants over which it -is to be used. The
cloth can be divided Into three strips,
each strip being tacked at one end to a
rePl, 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
wire supports at Intervals along the row,
and pull the cloth along over the plants,
fastening the end at the last wire sup
port, as shown In the cut. Occasionally
slip a wire support down over the cloth
to keep tne lauer irom oiowing on uie
wire supports below it. Wind up the
cloth on the reel when the plants no
longer need cover. — Orange Judd
Farmer.
Tike Right Way of Pranlng.
Bet a green hand to pruning trees,
where limbs of any size are to b* re
moved, and the chances are ten U> one
that he will commence on the tfbper
side of the limb and saw it off, sawing
through until, by Its own weight, it falls,
tearing down the bark and wood, inflict
ing an ugly wound which it may require
years to heal, and which, if not carefully
protected frorf the weather, will cause
such decay as to destroy the tree. To
prevent injury to the tree, saw ofie
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 orotched pole, held by an as
sistant below.—N. Y. Tribune-Farmer.
Starting Bavly Vegetables.
Select a warm, sunny place, dig a
trench four feet deap, fill with horse ma
nure well packed down and made moist,
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, flil
small pasteboard boxes with soil and
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 ray*
of the sun and carry off rain.—M. Peet,
in Farm and Home.
The milker should wash his hands
thoroughly with soap and water Just
before milking. Under no conditions
should the hands be wet during the
milking.
FIRST OF NAVAL BATTLES.
It Was Fought in Maryland Waters
in the Early Colonial
Days.
April 23 of this year was the two
hundred and sixty-ninth anniversary
of the first naval battle fought in
American waters. On that date two
armed forces met at the mouth of the
Pocomoke river, within the boundaries
of the province of Maryland, and set
tled, at least temporarily, the authority
of Lord Baltimore. The settlement at
St. Mary’s had been made but 1? !
months when this test of arms oc- ^
curred, says the Chicago Chronicle.
About three years before the land
ing of the Maryland pilgrims under j
Gov. Leonard Calvert, by virtue of the !
grant of the territory from Charles I.,
a trading post had been established by j
Willihm Claibourne, of Virginia, on
Kent island. It was not a settlement i
intended for permanent homes and the
tilling of the soil, but merely a place
fixed upon by Claibourne for conven
ience of trade with the Indians. Kent
Island was clearly within the jurisdic
tion of Lord Baltimore, but Claibourne
very foolishly resisted his authority
and refused to take out a trader’s li- [
cense from the proprietary’s govern
ment at St. Mary’s. This stubborn
stand of Claibourne resulted in the
capture early in the year by Capt.
Thomas Cornwaleys, one of the Mary
land commissioners, of a vessel be
longing to Claibourne for trading in
the waters of the Chesapeake without
a Maryland license.
Claibourne realized now that he
would either have to break down Lord
Baltimore’s authority by force of arms
or be compelled to submit to that au
thority. He chose to fight and, accord
ingly, he fitted out an armed boat, the
Cockatrice, which was manned by 30
men and placed under the command of
Lieut Radcliffe Warren, who was com
missioned by Claibourne “to seize and
capture any pinnacles or other vessels
belonging to the government of St.
Mary’s.”
This was a. declaration of war and
when the news ^f the rebellion reached
Gov. Calvert he at once determined to
put it down, as becomes a governor
whose rights are denied and whose au
thority is defied. Knowing the strength
of the insurgents, he wisely fitted out a
superior force, with the full determina
tion to crush the spirit that was giv
ing him no little trouble. So he
manned and commissioned two vessels
—the St. Margaret and the St. Helena
—placed them in command of the gal
lant Capt. Cornwaleys, with orders to
search out and destroy the enemy and
reduce Kent island to submission.
The little squadron sailed out from
St. Mary’s with the Maryland colors
flying from the flagship and animated
by the same courageous spirit that two
and a half centuries later inspired an
other Maryland naval commander in
his gloriously successful search for the
Spanish fleet in the waters of the West
Indies. Their course took them across
the bay and soon they were rewarded
by sighting the sails of the insurgent
ship oft the mouth of the Pocomoke.
Cornwaleys skillfully maneuvered his
little fleet so as to prevent the escape
of the enemy and both sides cleared
for action. The insurgents delivered
the first Are, and so true was the aim
that William Ashmore, of the Mary
landers, fell to the deck, the first
American sailor whose life was sacri
ficed while in action upon the altar of
duty. The sight of- their dead comrade
inspired the Maryland men to greater
determination, and made more deadly
their aim and threefold more terrible
their revenge. Their first fire killed
the enemy’s commanding officer—
Lieut. Warren—and two of his crew.
The insurgents having lost their leader
and two of their comrades and seeing
certain destruction staring them in the
face, were brought to realize that dis
cretion was the better part of valor and
therefore they wisely struck their col
ors and surrendered themselves and
their vessel to the victorious aMry
landers.
Kent island was afterwards subdued
and Claibourne stripped of his posses
sion. But he did not cease to be a
source or great trouDie to tne settlers
of St. Mary’s and more than once suc
ceeding in destroying, for a time, the
government of Lord Baltimore. But
that belongs to another story.
Thefts from Hotels.
A certain hotelkeeper in Washington
says that the people have no idea of the
small depredations that are committed
by guests, most of who are people of
money enough of their own to refrain.
He declares that not long ago he bought
700 yards of toweling for his rooms, and
before he had time to learn whether or
not the rooms had been supplied, the
whole outfit was goije, says the Washing
ton Post. “They are drummers, and
women and all kinds of people who took
them,” said he, “and probably they did
not think it was stealing to take things
away from the hotel. As to downright
theft from rooms, or bilking in the mat
ter of meals, there is much less of it in
hotels than you would suppose; but
Lord! how they will crib the soap and
linen and spoons!”
Far from Home.
Relative—I notice that you have at last
got acquainted with your next-door
neighbor, who has lived alongside of you
for the past ten years.
Mrs. D’Avnoo—Yes, we were intro
duced to each other at the Pyramids of
Egypt, and I found her a delightful com
panion. We became very intimate.—
London Tit-Bits.
His Limited Circle.
Solon was inventing his motto.
“What do you think of ‘Know thy

“Fine," they answered, “but can’t you
get acquainted in any better circles?”
Sadly he began to search gfor a new
trade-mark.—N. Y. Tribune.
