The American farmer is the hardest worked man In the world.
He
must toil from early morning until late at night to make a profit from his
farm. Not only must he toll, but so must all the members of his family.
He has some modern machinery, but there Is no easy way of farming.— Re

“ Something mighty strange hap

“ My w ife used to bo very Intimate
with a woman whom we will call Mrs.
Jones. They were together on shop
ping trips, euchre scraps, bargain
rushes and the like, four times a week.
When one was away or unable to see
the other, their correspondence was
extremely faithful. This Intimacy
kept on for some years, and suddenly
stopped. There was no reason, except
that other Interests attracted my wife,
and circumstances In general com
bined to make them see less of each
other. For perhaps a year the two
women have not seen each other, and
the letters, which were frequent at
first, dwindled until the correspond
ence, like the visits, entirely ceased.
“ The other woman moved, so did
we, and neither family knew the oth
er’s address. Yesterday my w ife was
sitting In the front room, writing let
ters. Her desk Is near a window over
looking the street After writing a
while she looked up and said:
“ ‘It’s strange, but I can’t help
thinking about Mrs. Jones. I haven’t
seen her for a year, nor have I
thought of her for weeks and months,
but to-day she Is In my mind all the
time. I wish I knew where she lives.’
“ ‘Wish you did, my dear,’ said I,
and went on with my reading. But In
a little while she said again:
“ ‘Don’t you suppose you could find
the Joneses’ address :n the directory?
I f you are not too tired to go out to
the drug store----- ’
“ ‘All right,’ said I, ‘I will, In a lit
tle while. Do you want to write to
her?’
“ Sh-! went on writing a little while
longer, and suddenly she gave a shout
that made me Jump to my feet In fear
that something bad happened to her.
She was standing at the window gaz-
lng fixedly at a window In the apart
ment 'house across the street, where
another woman, gazing just as fixedly
at our windows, stood. That other
woman was— Mrs. Jones.
“ My w ife rushed downstairs and
across the street, and the two women
met at the doorway of the apartment
housf. A fter the Imaginable caresses,
they each told the same story of hav
ing the other constantly In her

now they're good friends again.

prising, as the odor was so strong as
almost to repel all lnveatlgatlon.
The plant is called by the native
Blcols “ borae sa Mayo,” that la. May
flower. It blooms only during the
month o f May. It la no doubt a mem
ber of the order lllaceae, better com
monly known as the Illy or tulip fam
ily. It has the large bulb, the lncon-
'splcuous calyx, the pronounced stig
ma and the characteristic structure of
lilies In general. The remarkable fea
tures o f this particular variety o f lilies
are that It baa such a pungent odor
and that It has absolutely no leaves
at the time of blossoming. These ap

The blossom rests Immediately on the
ground and Is not more than eight or
nine Inches high.
The calyx often
measures a foot In diameter.
A fter the blossom has disappeared
the leaves begin to sprout from the
bulb. These often grow to the height
of three or four feet. Their general
shape Is similar to that of the leaves
o f the calla lily, but they are divided
into an irregular number of lobes or
fronds.
The corolla and the remarkably ex
agerated stigma exude a clear viscous
fluid, which seems to be the cause of
the offensive odor. This fluid attracts
the flies, thus Insuring the transmis
sion of the pollen from plant to plant
The large bulb, In fa c t all parts of
the plant, have the peculiar acrid Juice
which is so poisonous, a trait common
to the lilaceous order. The acrid taste
and the poisonous effect o f the Juice
are lost upon cooking for several
hours. During the period o f froudes-
cence there Is no odor present. This
plant Is not used for food by the na
tives where It Is found, though there
are several other species of the same
order which are highly esteemed by
them as food.

Every well-regulated family ougnt to

hotbed, says the Garden Magazine. A
cold frame differs from a hotbed In
having no fermenting manure to sup
ply heat, and In being used chiefly for
protecting, over the winter, plants that
could not live outdoors, such as ten
roses, while a hotbed Is used chiefly to
get fresh vegetables a month or more
earlier In the spring. Both are, of
course, cheaper than greenhouses, and
both have other uses than those men

fo r W o r k in g the Device,
In the city o f Muskegon, Mich., salt
Is used in large quantities, and conse
quently the warehouses of the firms
dealing In It are capacious enough to
store away a considerable supply. As
U well known, salt, on account of Its
affinity for water, Is a substance that
has a tendency to harden and cake
when piled away any length of time,
and some of the cellars where It Is
stored contain beds of It twenty feet
high and so hard that but little im
pression can be made upon them even
with the pick or ax.
For this reason a somewhat curious
device has been brought Into use to
loosen the material so that It can
readily be secured. This Is a large
boring tool or augur, which la oper
ated by compressed air. The augur
Is mounted on a wheeled truck, which
Is guided by bandies projecting from
the rear of the framework. The rear
end of the augur revolves In a socket
fitted Into the framework, while the
nlr is .admitted to the socket from the
hose which supplies It.
When operated the boring tool is
pushed sgalnst the mass o f salt and
the augur Is set In motion, and In a
minute or two, so rapidly does the tool
work, a hole about five Inches In diam
eter Is made In the formation the en
tire length of the augur. Then anoth
er bole Is drilled parallel with the
first, and another, until the pile has
been undermined, so to speak, when
Its contents can easily be broken out.
The advantage o f this method Is seen
when It Is said that two men can get

shovels.— Technical World.
