ADOPTS AMERICAN MODES., ..I v ... .. Wife) of New Ju panceo Mlri'eter Haa Placarded Native Lreea. Among the recent adiittlous to diplo matic circles la Washington are Min uter Hoshl of Japan nod bin wife. Mru. Hoshl Is about 83 year of ago and of the moat planting personal ap pearance. Khe Is short, probably 4 feet 10 Inches In hi'ltflft. Her dark balr la very abundant, bur lnrs brown eyes are aoft, yet bright, and her com pluilou la clear and rosy. In dress, her costume la thnt of the American woman, yet as sh has only recently laid aside her native gowns, her ward robe of western robes Is limited. She bas placed herself In the hands of a tutor, In order to master the Intricacies of the English lancuuce, and by next winter will no doubt be able to pre side at a tea In the most approved style, JAPANESE MINIRTEH AND FAMILY. as far aa conversational ability Is con cerned. Mme. Hoshi has been married ten years, but there Is only one child in the family, a boy of (! years of ace. His name Is Hoshl KlUaru, and he. is a bright little fellow, wandering about the house In evident loneliness for his many playmates in the East. The wife of ttio minister is n fine musician and devotes much of her time to that art. The White Ilonae Klndrrearten. Tho littlo Wallace children, the grandchildren of Chief Justice Fuller, the littlo daughter of General and Mrs. Draper and the children of Privuto Sec retary and MrB. Thurbrr nro nmong tho pupils of tho kindergarten that is situ ated in tho nursery ut tho Whito House, Tho children aro put behind the bars of tho littlo cribs when there, is laziness or disobedience, and a final humiliation for cxtrenio cases is a stool and dunco cap in tho corner. Tho littlo outsidcra who aro so favored get nil theso advantage.1; for $0 or $8 a month. So tho whole burden of expousodcrs not fall upon the family in the Whito House. A blight Difference. "As I. understand it, doctor, if I bc lievo I'm well, I'll be well. Is that the idea?" . "It is." "Then, if yon believe you're paid, I suppose you'll be paid. " "Not necessarily. " ' 'But why shouldn't faith work as well in one case as ju the other?" "Well, you see, there is considerable difference between having faith in the Almighty and having faith in you. "- A Roetgen ray apparatus bas been established in a Pittsburg hospital as a part of the regular equipment. . Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef ' forts gentle efforts pleasantefforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Byrupof Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the oni v remedy with mill ions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of. Figs stands highest and is most largely hed and gives most general satisfaction. WHEAT. Make money bv mccaafnl speculation in Chicago. We boy and Mil wheat there on mar rtna.

Low wagons are a great convenience, greatly lessening labor In lining silos, hauling fodder, manure, etc. A num ber of low frames to be attached to or dinary wagons have boon Illustrated In thorn coin mm during the-pat year.' I1'. N. Buckingham, of Iowa, describes In ' American Agriculturist the fodder loader shown. It haa been usod, . In Iowa with very satisfactory results. Tho timbers a a are the hayrack sup-' Dorrs on a wagon high or low. The loader is attached at b b. by means of a long bolt: c Is a 2x4 which extends under the wagon and has a sharp Iron point at d; is attached to the loader at e e e by means of a 'long bolt form ing a hinge joint. The ajipck Is laid crosswise, and no matter how large.jlhe shock, when the team starts, tho Iron point d catches In the. ground and throws the loader up over the wagon, I dropping the fodder on flio rack. Two j or three shock's can be put on at once. The loader is-1 left on tho Jlold.-; Make i of material siirliclently strong to hold i the number of shocks put on each time. Clip the Queen's WlhiisV From htng .experience In managing an Apiary,-we ha vW-tmie to tho conclusion that clipping 'the queen's wings. Is a decided advantage. No swarms will Thou escape to the woods. The owner can go from home, attend church, -without having ibis mind disturbed with thoughts of losing swarms In bis ab sence. It is better to do this than run the risk of losing excellent queens and swarms. The bees will never leave for good If the queen does not accompany them. This, of course, has reference to first swnrms, as second swarms may Issue at any time, with atyoung queen fully fledged, like Minerva from tho head of Jove, ready for flight and legiti mate business. These latter can also be prevented by .opening the hives after they have cast swarms, examining carefully the combs nnd cutting out all queen cells, but one In each hive. If this Is done no second swarm will Issue. Colmnn's World. . - " Plootlnv Fence. An excellent water Tence Is shown herewith. Some short cross logs sup port one, two or more lengths of stout rails that form the bottom of the fence. Holes are..l)ored lu these,' in "which up- 4; SECURE "FLOATING FENCE. right stakes are -driven to support the upper rati. "The lengths of fence are chained together.; .The outer log is an chored lip-stream and down-stream with sufficient length of chain to per mit the rising and falling ;of he fence. This plai is splendid for tide water rivers, and good wherever the rise Is not likely to be so sudden as to wash It away. ; ' Do Away with the Swill Barrel. Because a hog will eat anything Is no reason why.it should be either offered or allowed to eat decayed, odorous and unclean food. It is expected that ulti mately the hog' will be eaten by our selves or some one who would like to be as squeamish about taking anything that Is unclean into their systems. There ought to be no such thing as a swill barrel, holding - for weeks and even months a compound of sour milk, dish washings and other refuse from the kitchen or table. ..There is no rea son why -the dally product of swill should not be eaten as'soon as 'made. Kvery day's neglect' to dispose of It lessens its value, besides the danger which every neglected swill barrel is to the health of all In .the house, or even In the neighborhood. Pyatem on the Farm. - In; every department f labor the ev senxial to success is a systematic meth od. ; SyBtein Is especially needed In farm work, because thrift of so many living things is In the power of the farmer. There should be a regular "hour for feeding stock. Animals aoou learn the hour for their meals when given regularly, and are impatient of delay. Bawling, bleating or squealing for an hour before each meal doe not hasten the development of fat In calves. Iambs or pigs. At other rimes the food is given too soon, the animal not being ; hungry and not prepared to make the kovki, vimzRj.oAtf' ' in m i r er- .jnr : .V: in 0 best use of It. There should-be a cer tain 'hour at which to begin feeding In the morning and a. time at which to quit feeding at night, or rotifer evening, for we' don't believe In feeding after dark except, In the shortest December days. The farmer who feeds his stock by lantern light during spring and fall months will bo nilt'to get crops in late and pick corn till holidays. The fam ily meals should not. vary ten minutes from the specified time, neither, should the men ever keep meals waiting. Chil dren should be off toohool on, time, neither too late or too early. They will be more apt to have their lessons on time If everything Is regulart home.' The work is so' much easier to do' when every one knows his tune and place; life Is pleasahter and happy times come oftener. System preserves health, for wo know that worry' kills more per-' sons .than jllsense.' Poultry I'olntere.

Do not . set t.hp drinking vessels too low; if you do, the fowls will scratch dirt Into then). Let the nests:be In a dark piace. . The hens like It better, and are, less llablo to acquire the habit of egg eating. Fowls left to select their food, doubt less would take. se,etf.s,... Insects and grass. We should come as near as pos sible supplying these preferences. If your hens lay soft shelled eggs it Is because there Is. not enough lime in their food.' 'Feed them grit gravel, oyster shell, plaster or ground bono. There' 'Is considerable difference be tween selling eggs for 10 cents nnd 25 or .'10 cents a dozen, consequently It will pay to pack them In salt.1 Suit is cheap, ii nd pnt'klng eggs In It does not destroy it...'- ;' ;.!

Of these but'two proved valuable, one,, named the : Van Deman, and which was a Cap't. Jack cross, and the Lady Jane, a Sharpless cross. Tho Van Deman showed signs of superiority the first season, and for several seasons since .has given very satisfactory results In many 'extensive commercial berry fields. It has been tested In twenty seven States and' with' generally fat vorable results. Farm and Ilome. Horticultural Hlnta. Fresh lime for snails.

The first year after the tree Is plant ed is the time to prune and shape the tree. How much did the garden contribute to the support of the family this sum mer? ' Don't haul your fruit to market In a lumber wagon, but use a strong spring wagon with a large platform. It saves your fruit from masblng. If you mix windfalls with picked fruit they , will detract from the fine qualities of your fruit, from, the prices and worst of all, from the excellence of your reputation. Keep them separate. If the anu are cutting the leaves off your fruit trees fasten a wisp of loose cotton around the stem of the tree be tween ground and the first branch; the ants tangle In this and can't climb over It. ' .. , , .'. In packing fruit for shipment no pur pose is served by ventilation other than the escape of moisture. : The contact of fresh air hastens decay. Have the package on the outside as dry as possi ble. ' - ... . Just after the gathering of fall ap ples prices are usually low; better profit wonld be obtained if they could be held until the. early winter months. Let them be sorted and stored In a per fectly dry room, with a very low tem perature. r , Qneerly Worded.

This same bouse Cloiset & Devers has an exhibit of a P. P. C. gas ooffee roaster, patented only last April. The machine roasts 160 pounds of ooffee in from 9 to 18 minutes, as against 45 with, the old method. The long, sim mering of the ooffee over an intensely hot fire destroyed all the fine aroma, and i virtually killed the ooffee. By the new and short method the ooffee falls tbrongb a flame, at the rate of 40 j times to the minute. The flame, being ; in the oylinder with the ooffee, the in- j tense heat direotly applied, draws the oil whioh is near the surface of the ooffee out and seals the berry so that, i as the roasting continues, none of the ' aroma escapes. !
