The sweet potato Is nothing but convolvulus, the rhubarh and the buckwheat, though totally dissimilar in appearance, sire from a botanical point of view nearly allied. Knspborries, blackberries and all tlieir varieties are "rosaccae," and closely relsiied lu the common wild brier. There is not much apparent resemblance between parsley and the parsnip. Vet a botanist can tell you that thoy are buih members of one 1'amily, and that this self-same family includes the carrot as well as various aromatic plants such as anise and coriander.

Celery, too, comes in the same category. licet, however, lias no kin with the carrot. Its in the kitchen garden is spinach. That the Jerusalem artichoke ami the sunflower are related is fairly obvious. What is a little startling is the i'act that the succulent lettuce is one of the same family, which includes also the daisy, dahlia, chrysanthemum, dandelion and thistle.

All the wheats, oats, barley, rice, and most oilier edible grains are derived from wild grasses. F.vtn the sugarcane is of the same order as die little velvet-like grasses which carpet your tennis-lawn. MUSIC FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE Camel Famed as Possessor of Perpet- uaj "Grouch," From Its Birth to Its Death. In selecting the camel ns their emblem, antl-prohibltlonists display sense of fitness. According to some authorities, though the camel generally fills his tanks with water, when he has the chance he substitutes date juice, which, fermenting in due course, gives him a portable store of alcohol to draw on as opportunity allows.

Even with "soft" drinks the camel's powers of absorption are phenomenal. Watering a camel train on tho march Is prolonged business, seeing that some camels require ns much as 20 gallons to satisfy their thirst. On esthetic grounds, however, objections might be raised to selecting for nn emblem nn nnimal whose face hns been described ns "a sculptured sneer." The camel Itself is said to be so Uttre In love" with its appearance that It never drinks from a pool without first fouling the'water so ns to be spared the sight of its own reflection. Nor does its character hear Inspection. "The camel." says nn oriental proverb, "curses its parents when It hns to go uphill and its Mnker when It goes down." Camels are born sad (even young camels are never known to piny), and their life is one long protest against being made to Guardian.

To a teacher with a doctor or nurse instinct (and many have it), music can he used way to reach some ami they rttipoml to it as to nothing else. As everyone knows, nervous people are extremely sensitive to sound.

Only one tribe in the South Pacific islands ever rose to the height of Inventing armor to be used in their warfare.

Hut even this tribe, the Gilbert islanders, turned out only a few suits, owing to the work entailed in the. manufacture. Francis Dickie says, in the Scientific American, thnt the suits were limited in number, and that every village was the proud possessor of one. At the outbreak of a conflict between villages, not all the inhabitants went to war, but the most doughty warrior was dressed In the. village armor and sent against the champion of the rival place.

The brown-colored fabric covering the body and legs, which formed the Gilberts' -v, was made otit-of coir si'riiiL' taken from the husk of the coconut, so closely woven as to make a protection stronger than board, and having greater lightness lo recommend it. A further breastplate, invulnerable to any native weapon, was made from the dried skin of the stingarec, or ray fibh, which dried as hard as luetal. In the last few years peace has set- tleil over the Gilberts and the armor lias ceased to be manufactured.

All Druggists EBI2 John M. Atkinson, the great yer, of University City near St. Louis, i is asking for the Democratic nomina- tion for governor upon his record. That ho is a friend of the people is shown by his record as assistant at- tomey general in handling a number of the big suits brought by Attorney General Major against the trusts. Atkinson rendered great public service in the prosecution of the lumber trust, with the result of breaking up the trust and turning into the state treasury the hugs sum of $436,000, the largest fine adjudged by the supreme court against such law breakers.

Other notable cases wherein his legal talents were effectively employed were those in which the constitutionality of the "Stamp Act" and the "Grain Weighting Act" was attacked. Both acts were upheld by the Supreme Court. The "Stamp Act" brought over $200,000 to the good roads fund, and the "Grain Weighing Act" haved at least $1,000,000 per annum to the farmers and grain growers of the News, Ripley County.

The mind Is at work day and night on jobs you never pect. If, for instance, you have been trying to rememher how a certain tune goes, and given it up in despair, It is the subconscious mind that takes up the task, and works on it for days or weeks till suddenly you find yourself humming or whistling the correct air. It Is the heart-clock (the pulse merely registers the heart-heats) thnt enables people to wake up in the morning at a time they have decided on the night before, A little practice will make this heart-clock a fairly useful alarm. That part of your brain that Is called the subconscious mind, watches this clock all night and wakens the working part of your mind at the time required. "Flower of the Devil." "Flower of the Devil" is a strange givwth upon trees found on the sides of Fnegn volcano in Guatemala, one of tin; few places in the world where? it Is known to occur.

It has beautiful foliation, veining and stem, and appears full blown when just unfolding from -the bttur- This effect Is formed by a parasite which enters the wood and dies after eating portions of It away, a process which in lime produces tho results described. Tradition, however, ascribes a different origin. Years ago, when the Spaniard ruled the country, a fair Indian maiden was supposed to have betrayed certain tribal secrets lo her white lover. Her people threw her into the fiery water of Fuego in expiation of her sin, and once every year, on Midsummer's day, she appears to throw artnl'uls of the devil's flowers over the mountain's a solemn warning to all of the sanctity of tribal secrets. Nutritious Foods.

Eggs are a complete food. Meats are direct Ilcsh builders. Beef broth Is nutritious, but chicken or mutton brotli is better. Veal, when young, Is good and nutritious. I'ork is hard to digest and should never he given to Invalids.

Chicken is the most desirable in the sick room us a fowl Chicken breast may he given even before beef or imihon. The white ment gt the chicken In the easiest digested of nil meats when either boiled or fried well and the bird is young. Young pigeons are next. Sweetbread (the pancreas of calf) is also of value and easily digested. Fish la easily digested but of less value In strength than ment or fowl, Make Living Hunting Bats.

An odd class of Mexican prospector makes a good living hunting bat In the hill countries of Stnaloa and Sonera the Mexican bat breeds by the thousands nnd makes its homo tu caves along rocky cliffs. Here deposits of guano accumulate, small fortunes being sometimes realized from the sale of one cave's deposits. bat is small, with Hat head and ears, and gives off a musky odor. To locate a bat cave these guano-hunters work much as do the backwoods be-j tree hunters in Missouri. They seek out a likely cliff, wait till dusk and watch" for bats.

Soon, by close ob nervation, they can locate cave intrance from which the hats emerge. Woodpecker a "Home Bird." Among the natural guardians of the trees are the woodpeckers, which gather their food as they creep round the trunks and branches. As the food of the woodpecker is nearly as abundant, in winter as in summer, they are seldom migratory. They never forage in Hocks, like some of the granlvorous birds whose food is more plentiful, but scatter out over wide areas, and thus better their fare. They hear the same relation to other birds thnt take their food from trees us snipes and woodcocks bear to thrushes and is, they bore Into the wood as the snipe bores Into the earth, while thrushes and quails seek their BUKte.nnnce on the surface of the ground.

"Devil's Darning Needle." The darning needle, or devil's darning needle, is one of the names given to the dragon fly, which belongs to the order Odonatu. Other popular names for this insect are "snake feeders," "snake doctors," "horse stingers," "fly- adders," though dragon flies 'mv harmless, as well as useful In kill- Ing mosquitoes and little flies. Young dragon tiles and the young of other Insects, such as many flies, while In the Intermediate stage between the eggs and thr mature insect, live In water and are called "nymphs." Many of them live for a year In this stage in ponds before transforming Into adult dragon llles. This woi at present prices, or at pre-war pi-ices, (or each ion of manure applied. The full value of the manure is usually not obtained during the first four years, for it leaves the soil in better condition and its effect upon later crops is often unite significant.

Careful Handling Necessary. By very careful handling of manure livestock farmer, on average soiV should be able to return annually about two tons of manure por acre to his cultivated fields. It is not easy to save this amount except by very careful methods and persistent efforts. It that nil straw other suitable materials he worked through the barn as bedding.

This not only adds to the comfort of the animals, but serves as an absorbent for the liquid manure. If straw piles are sold, burned or left to rot it is, of course, Impossible lo return this amount of manure. Keep the manure together; don't let it get scattered about tho barn or lots. Hogs and chickens may waste much of it. Where possible haul It to the field as soon as produced.

If this is not possible, store It In shallow, concrete lined pits to prevent Use plenty of bedding In the stable or on the feed- Ing absorb the liquid. Straw, old hay, grass and leaves may be used for this purpose. Prevent Fermentation. About 3fi per cent of the nitrogen and S. per cent of the potassium Is tc be found In the liquid material.

There Is, however, practically no phosphorus In this, part. The plant foods In the liquid are all In soluble form and art 1 very easily lost through leaching. Furthermore, the nitrogen in this liquid portion readily passes off ns ammonia when the manure Is allowed to ferment, hence the necessity for preventing fermen'atlon as far as possible. The total solid and liquid manure produced in a year by a well-fed, mature horse, is about eight tons, with a plant-food value of more than $30, In the case of a well-fed steer weighing from 1,000 to pounds the production is nine to eleven tons, with a slightly greater total value than the manure from a horse. Three to five months' exposure to the weather In an open lot may cause manure to lose approximately one-third of its plant food.

If manure must be exposed to the weather it should be in a pit a water tight bottom. -o- STOP THAT COUGH. McMullin's Tonic a Blessing to 'housands. Wanted Wanted Berries, Apples and Fruit of All Kinds. Poultry, Eess and Hides.
