Amateur Gardener Could Not Under-
stand Why Seeds Did Not Sprout.
The woes of the amateur gardener
are very amusing to others, but de-
cidedly real to the man who has
spoiled a suit of clothes, blistered his
hands and lost his temper in his ef-
forts to make things grow.
A young man, recently married,
early in the spring secured a sub
urban place, mainly with the idea ot
"fresh, home-grown vegetables.' Every
evening he would hurry through hit
supper and rush out to his garden
where he displayed more energy than
ckill. But, alas! When many little
green things began to break the
ground in his neighbors' gardens, hit
own remained as bare as the Sahara
"It certainly has got me beat," he
confided to a friend at his office one
Jay. “I can’t understand why not a
tdessed thing has come up. I planted
peas and corn and tomatoes.”
“PerhapB the seed were refective,”
the friend suggested.
“I hardly think it was that,” the
gardener replied, "for 1 got the very
best—paid 15 cents a can for them.”

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it Is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but ulso affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as It can be applied
much more thinly because of Its great-
er strength than other makes.
‘‘Scap Bubble Hanging from a Reed.”
Our life is but a soap bubble hang-
ing from a reed; it is formed, expands
to its full size, clothes itself with the
loveliest colors of the prism, and even
esoa,es at moments from the law of
gravitation; but soon the black speck
appears in it and the globe of emerald
and gold vanishes Into space, leaving
behind It nothing but a simple drop
of turbid water. All the poets have
made this comparison, it Is so strik-
ing and so true. To appear, to shine,
to disappear; to be born, to suffer and
to die; is it not the whole sum of
life, for a butterfly, for a nation, for a
star?—Henry Frederic Amici.
Starch, like everything else, Is be-
ing constantly Improved, the patent
Starches put on the market 25 years
ago aie very different and lnferlor’'to
those of the present4 day. In the lat-
est discovery—Defiance Starch—all In-
jurious chemicals are omitted, while
the addition of another Ingredient. In-
vented by us, gives to the Starch a
strength and smoothness never ap-
proached by other brands.

When the nurse brought the cheer-

"Only one boy, sir."
"Well,” said Toperton, "go on; don't
keep me In suspense. One boy—what
are the others?”—Sketchy Bits.

Thompion’i Eye Wafer
The Case of Central America.
As the preservation of peace by the
Central American republics seems im-
possible, it has been suggested that
the Linked States and Mexico unite In
a protectorate over them after they
have been combined into a single fed-
eration. Mexico and the United
States already exercise an informal
oversight over afTatrs in Central Amer-
ica. A little more than a year ugo
this country practically forced two of
the warring republics to come to
terms. This spring American war-
ships patrolled the coasts of Honduras
Nicaragua and Salvador, protecting
the property of foreigners so effective-
ly that they setiously Interfered with
the activity of the contending armies.
The Mexican government has lately
struck a hard blow at revolutions by
demanding that Guatemala surrender
the Guatemalans responsible for the
murder In Mexico of a former Guate-
malan president. If Mexico insists
that murder is murder even when
done in the name of Central American
revolution, the revolutionists will take
thought before they rise In arms.
There 13 a growing determination in
the minds of Mexicans and Ameri-
cans, says Youth's Companion, that if
the Central Americans will not con-
duct themselves properly, force must
be used. Whether the outcome will
be a federation and a formal protec-
torate it is useless to prophesy. Sev-
eral previous attempts at federation
have failed. All the republics have
agreed that arbitration is the proper
way to settle disputes, and a formal
treaty providing for arbitration has
been concluded. But when a dispute
arises, the republics disregard the
treaty and rush to arms. As the
business of the world draws more
closely to the Caribbean sea some
way will be found to make the coun-
tries bordering it safe for the resi-
dence of business men.
Prince Louis of Orleans, regarded
by the monarchists of Brazil as heir to
Dom Pedro's throne, was not allowed
to land in Rio do Janeiro, when the
ship on which he was sailing to Para-
guay entered the harbor. The Brazil-
ian authorities regard as still in force
the decree of banishment against Dom
Pedro's family, passed by the provis-
ional government immediately after
the overthrow of the empire in 1889.
Prince Louis is the second son of the
former crown princess of Brazil and
the French prince, Gaston of Orleans.
He was born in Brazil and the mon-
archists rally round him rather than
round his crippled elder brother,
Pedro. The visit of the prince to
South America has roused the royal-
ists to a new interest in their cause,
and is not without interest to states-
men in North America. But the pros-
pect of a royalist rising in Brazil, still
more of its success, is remote indeed.
Railway accidents have been usually
ascribed to insufficient equipment.
Prof. F. H. Dixon, in an article in the
Atlantic Monthly, concludes that the
real difficulty is not mechanical but
human. It is not the failure or the
lack of the block signal that causes
the trouble, nor would the installation
of automatic stops and other devices
cure the evil. "The fundamental
weakness of American railroading
from the standpoint of safety is the
widespread and almost universal lack
of discipline.” This conclusion ac-
cords with the experience of the race.
Disciplined armies poorly equipped
have triumphed over armies well ac-
coutered and provisioned, but lacking
in discipline. It Is likely, however,
that railroad employes will point out
at once that the lack of discipline be-
gins In the poor generalship of the
managers who demand impossible
things of their soldiers.
The wide interest in American
genealogy is responsible for the publi-
cation by the government of the cen-
sus returns of 1790 in the states in ex-
istence at that time. This census con-
sisted of an enumeration of the popu-
lation and was the original documents
as preserved In the census office in a
collection of oddly assorted volumes,
the marshals having been obliged to
furnish their own blanks. Because the
names of heads of families were In-
cluded In tills compilation the books
havo been In great demand by people
tracing their ancestry, and it is for
the betefit of these that publication
la being made. When comifletcd the
pamphlets will be for sale.
F. A. Sutton, B. F. D. No. 4, Salem.
Oregon, says: "Acute uttacks of kid-
ney disease and
rheumatism laid me
up off and on for
ten years. Awful
pains started from
the kidneys and
coursed down
through my limbs.
I sought the best
medical treatment
but in vain, and
when I began using
Doan's Kidney Pills
I was walking with two canes and suf-
fering eoitlnua! pains, headaches and
sleepless nights. I improved quickly
and after taking three boxes felt bet-
ter than t had for 15 years. T..e ef-
fects have been lasting.”

WHY SHE WAS THANKFUL.
Little One Had Reason to Approve
Father's Choice.
Of the sisters of a well-known New
York family one is married. She has
one little girl greatly petted by all the
uunts and subject to much advice
from hII of them. Of this last the lit-
tle lady sometimes wearies, which
weariness on a certain occasion made
itself shown in the following reply
from her small ladyship:
Said one aunt: "If you were my
child 1 should have you do thus and
thus.” Said another aunt: “Were you
my child I would do so and so." The
remaining aunt made a similar re-
mark.
The little lady thought it high time
to express her own feelings. "But 1
have,” she said, "always been so
thankful that papa married the sister
he did!”
ALMOST A SOLID SORE.
Skin Disease from Birth—Fortune
Spent on Her Without Benefit—
Cured Her with Cuticura.
“I have a cousin in Rockingham Co.
who once had a skin disease from her
birth until she was six years of age.
Her father had spent a fortune on her
to get her cured und none of the treat-
ments did her any good. Old Dr.-
suggested that he try the Cuticura
Remedies which he did. When he com-
menced to use it the child was almost
a solid scab. He had used it about two
months and the child was well. I
could hardly believe she was the same
child. Her skin was as soft as a baby’s
without a scar on it. I have not seen
her in seventeen years, 'jut I have
heard from her and the last time 1
heard she was well. Mrs. W. P. Ingle,
Burlington, N. C., June 16, 1905.”

“The Armless Man”
Said, "It wasn't money he wanted, but
somebody to scratch his back.” There
are many with strong arms and will-
ing hands that have that same yearn-
ing. Hunt's Cure will make back
scratching, or any other old scratch-
ing totally unnecessary. It knocks
out any itching sensation that ever
happened, and it does it right now.
One application relieves.

The dean of Westminster has re-
fuocd to admit a memorial tablet
which was dedicated to Herbert
Spencer Into the abbey on the ground
that he was not orthodox In his

This Is So.
We wish to state in as plain and
vigorous way as words can express it,
that Hunt's Cure will positively, quick-
ly and permanently cure any form of
Itching Skin disease known. One box
la guaranteed to cure. One applica-
tion affords relief.
Why “Kangaroo.'
“Kangaroo" Is a queer word. It
m«ans "1 don't understand" in the
tongue of iho Australian aborigines.
When this strange animal was first
beheld by Europeans they Inquired of
the aborigines "What Is its name?
And the puzzled reply gave the animal
Its name.
Test Its Value.
Simmons Liver Purifier is the most

“Man may work from sun to sun
but woman's work is never done,”
In order to keep the home neat
and pretty, the children well dressed
and tidy, women overdo und often
suffer in sileuce, drifting along-from
bad to worse, knowing well that
they ought to have help to overcome
the pains and aches which duily
make life r. burdeu.
it is to these women that Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from native roots aud herbs,
comes us a blessing. When the spir-
its are depressed, the head and back
aches, tliero arc draggiug-down pains, nervousness, sleeplessness, nnd
reluctance to go anywhere, these are only symptoms which unless
heeded, are soon followed by the worst forms of Female Complaints.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
keeps the feminine organism inn. strong nnd healthy condition. Itcures
Inflammation, Ulceration, displacements, and organic troubles. In
preparing for child-birth and to carry women safely through the Change
of Life it is most efficient.
Mrs. Augustus Lyon, of Fast Furl, Pa., writes:— Dear Mrs. Pink-
ham;—“For a lo:ig time 1 suffered from female troubles and had all kinds
of aches and pains in the lower part of back and sides, I could not
sleep and had no appetite. Since taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and following the advice which you gave mo I feel like a
new woman and I cannot praiso your mcdicino too highly.’’
Mrs. Pinkham's Invitation to Women
Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to
write Mrs Piukhum. at Lynn, Mnss. Out of her vast volume of ex-
perience she probably has the very knowledge that will help your
cr.se. Her advice is free and always helpful.
