CANTON-CHRISTMAS ABOARD SHIP S# MARSHALL P. WILDER (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Canton, In spite of its dirt, in spite of its myriad and insistent smells, is fascinating. Beside the ordinary slgMs of Street life that are like a kaleidoscope for change and color, there is a tall and stately pagoda to be seen, the "fiow-ly" pagoda, your guide will tell you. Another, known as the fl^e-story pagoda, built in the year 1400, stands at the point of the citadel, the culminating point of the city wall, the ramparts of which are decorated with grotesque little cannon of a bygone age, resting in worm- eaten and rotting wooden gun car riages. Another sight of Canton Is Examina tion hall, an institution peculiarly Chi nese. Here are 7,500 cells in rows, the fronts open to the air. They are only four feet by three, and their only fur niture a couple of boards, laid cross- ways, one for a seat and the other for a writing desk. Here the civil service examinations take place for the whole province. Students who wish to compete enter a cell, where they remain for three days and nights, absolutely alone, and guarded by soldiers to see that they have no communication with each other, or with anyone outside. The examination lasts nine days al together, in groups of three, with in tervals of three days in' between, when the students may go outside. It is exceedingly arduous, for there is not room for comfortable sleep, and the tests are very severe. It is, however, the ambition of every man to pass this examination If he can. Some old students have been known to go there every three years for 30 years without passing. Out of perhaps 6,000 or 7,000 never more than 300 pass, generally much less. A man who passes Is then eligible for any magisterial office in the pro vincial government, and If he is still know what his neighbor held. This mode of procedure provoked hearty laughter and much curiosity as to the ultimate fate of the gifts, each one b* ing securely wrapped until the event ful day should appear. The 24th of December dawned--n^t, as we should say in America, clear and cold--but "muggy" and hot Clothing, even of the thinnest sort, seemed superfluous; exertion, even the mildest, sent little streams of moisture trickling down towards one's shirt collar. But, never mind. It wss Christmas--dear old Christmas eve, and if we were 6,000 miles--more or less--away from home, we were not going to have any less pleasure and happiness out of the occasion. So we donned our bravest attire and, sum moned by the bugle, made our way with the rest of the passengers, also in full dress, to the dining saloon. Here a scene of marvelous beauty burst upon our eyes; but don't ask me to describe that table. Running the whole length of the gorgeous saloon it was decorated and twined and blar zoned with potted plants and vines, garlands and flags, the whole being set off by a most Ingenious and beau tiful arrangement of electric lights, that peeped out from every leaf and fold and dish as though some fairy wand had touched them into glittering wonder. LittleSwisa chalets, set amid snows of cotton and spangled ice fields, gleamed with lights in every tiny window; cascades ran down through little Ice-gorges, lit up with firefly gleams; the hearts of Christmas roses sent out flashes of beauty, while at the head of the table was a snow man of life-like size and proportion, whose smile was as broad as his am ple form. Truly a wonderful sight And the dinner--well, I have eaten many dinners, and many Christmas dinners, but this was absolutely unique. The cuisine of the German steamers Is world-famed, and justly so. The celebrated P, & O. line starves you to death la the most highly genteel manner. The Insular exclusivenesB of this ancient Institu tion, like that of the much overrated Cunard, has wrung the stomach and bled the pocket of the wayfarer for nearly half a century, while the chilly hauteur of its officers has sent many a passenger to his berth with a frigid heart Rudyard Kipling says that if •you want a favor of one of these mag nates you must stand on your head before the chief officer and wave your feet supplicatingly in the air. . The serving of the Christmas diar ner was truly gorgeous. The proces sion of waiters reached from the din ing table to the kitchen, and each course was brought In with as much ' pomp as though it were a banquet to fcMMnr BRUSSEL8 3PROUTS. As Easy to Grow as Cabbage More Profitable. and •I,'74'HI :!') Anyone who can grow cabbage can grow brussels sprouts. Everyone who likes cabbage will like brussels sprouts better. But the same carelessness that produces woody, rank-flavored cabbage wi% have a like effect on brussels sprouts. Yet people who give the plant a fair trial in the gar den and the kitchen soon swell the ranks of the lovers of this popular vegetable. Any garden soil that will grow good WAITERS. PROCESSION more ambitious and can pass the ex amination at Peking, as well, he la eligible for metropolitan offices. So that in China education is the only patent of nobility. In this re spect it is one of the most democratic countries In the world, for a man may rise from the lowest rank to a high position. Only three castes are prohibited from competing in the examinations, barbers, actors and chiropodists, who are prohibited from most things, as well as their descendants for three generations. The good ship Prfnz Eitel Frieder- ich bore us bravely from Hong-Kong on our way to India's spicy isles, and also furnished an experience the like of which we had known neither be fore nor since. I refer to our Christ mas dinner, which we ate amid sur roundings so truly novel as to seem to us now almost as the passing of a cUeam. The Eitel Frfederlch was not merely a good, staunch ship; she was a mag nificently appointed steamer -- in short, a floating palace, and the din- Thc Plv^Story Pagoda. ner which we ate--each smallest com ponent part thereof, from soup to cof fee--was laid In at Bremen before the steamer sailed. The splendid tree, a big green fir, had been cut in Japan and lay strapped to the lower deck, lest some sudden cataclysm of the ele ments might roll it overboard and cheat us of what proved to be the most enjoyable part of our Christmas feast It was understood before leaving Hong-Kong that the most important part of the festivities, i. e. the pres ents must be purchased there; so a pool* was formed and the presents-- having been selected and purchased by a member detailed for the purpose were handed up the ship's side in "packages on the end of sticks, dangling from strings, or In small but terfly nets, so that the lottery effect was malatala«4 aad uo pae • • " . V • - . , •, , - .V#; » Old King Cole as we see it pictured In the children's holiday books. The oysters, the soup, the fish, each had their separate procession, and the turkey--ah! that turkey! borne aloft on a platter, accompanied by all the "trimmings," each with a separate bearer; while the gravy!--words fail me. How shall I describe the gravy- bearer? A youth with solemn brow and stately step, who bore aloft upon one hand the dish of gravy, as though it were an offering to royalty. In the matter of style he certainly was all to the gravy! With the dessert and coffee song and merriment burst forth. Every conceivable Christmas glee and carol --not omitting the good old "Tannen- baum" of the Vaterland, which these German officers rolled forth with a volume that made the dishes dance-- was sung. And then, the tree! This gorgeous piece of upholstery reached from the floor up into the which lantern, which is the nautical name for the open dome which rises far up almost out of sight from the saloon. Every year the decorations are brought out from their storing place and hung upon the tree, and most gorgeous are they to behold, glittering with electric lights and swaying to and fro with every motion of the vessel. The distribution of presents was a jolly ending to the evening's festivity. Some people got their own presents, that they had bought in contributing to the pool, but they enjoyed them Just as much. One of ours was a handsome silver spoon, engraved with Chinese characters similar to those on the cane which was presented to me by Mr. Wei Yuk in Hong-Kong, and which mean "long life and happiness," or something to that effect The next day we arrived at Singa pore, and it was with indescribable feelings that I stepped ashore in a glare of tropic sunlight saying to my self, "Christmas day! It Is impossible --I cannot believe it!",,. But it was, and I smiled as I said to a friend: "Well, we're certainly in for a hot old time, all right If nothing elafi^, -rr The Precious 8tones. The pearl is nothing but carbonate of lime, and vinegar or any other acid will eat away the polished surface in a few moments.

One man can build a wire fence air assisted if he has a chance to drive a horse with a pair of front wheels uear to the fence. Put an iron rod about two feet long, or a crowbar, through the holes in the wire reel and let It go down In the hole where the rocker bolt goes through the axle. Fasten one end of the wire to a post or tree where you wish to start from, then drive tne norse as near to the posts as convenient and in most cases you need not stop, unless the wire catches, until you have run out a whole reel. Then fasten the wire around the axle, tie a rope about ten feet from the axle and bring it around a post or tree. Start the horse, and when you get a hard strain on the wire fasten the rope to hold You will need a steady horse, as one that does not pull steadily is liable to break the wire. After the wire is stretched, says Farm and Home, and made fast by the rope start with hammer and staples where you first fastened it. Lift it 1*4 feet or more from the ground, and go along to each post and drive your staple about half way In until you reach the end. If the posts ars not on a straight line you may have t» slacken the wire, otherwise you may have to draw a strain on it the second time. Start again at the further end and drive the staples In tight In putting up the next two wires proceed in the same way and spread them apart the length of your hammer handle on each post and you will have a fence that no cow can get through, and if they go over a fence of that height they are only fit for the beef barrel. «, . Ma ;•>£ ( ' Wv ««n«j • 'tic m Typical Brussels Sprouts. cabbage can be relied upon to pro duce good sprouts. An ample supply of humus and nitrogenous food in the soil is desirable as in the case of any other leaf crops. The seed may be sown at the same time and in the same way as cabbage seed. For very early crops it may be sown In a cold frame In late fall, protected during winter with mats or shutters, and the plants set out as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. For second early, says Orange Judd Farmer, it may be sown in early spring and transplanted in April. But since the plant makes most delicate ly flavored heads during cool weath er the most popular time of sowing Is June. j When thus grown the young plants are set out In the garden 3x2 feet apart at six weekB old and given clean cultivation for six weeks. From Sep tember until hard freezing they need little or no attention unless the sea son be very dry. In such cases liberal watering ^*111 Improve the quality and quantity of the sprouts. The bulk of the picking Is done between October and Decern-^ ber, though In mild winters, especial ly in the middle sections and in the southern states, some may be gath ered until March and even April. 80tL FOR POTATOES. LEAF CURL IN POTATOES. Can Be Prevented by Handling of Po tatoes Before Planting. To prevent leaf curl In potatoes do not expose the tubers on dry shelves all the winter where they are likely to fluctuate with external conditions, and thus lose a certain amount of moisture after every frost when the temperature rises outside again. Instead, pie the tubers down for the winter, exclude air and thus pre vent shriveling, which is a greater evil than the loss of a sprout Allow sufficient time to elapse be fore covering for the winter, so that heat is not generated when a quan tity is placed together; this Is regu lated according to the soil and the kind of weather In lifting time. Never use the well-netted, highly ripened tubers for planting purposes. Plant much later for stock purposes, more especially if you persist in re planting your own produce. This ap plies to all soils, only doubly so to poor, dry, sandy land. I do not think, says a writer In Farmer's Voice, anyone can realize the Importance of planting unrlpened tubers for giving Increased vigor un less they themselves set to,work and test it Earth, plaster, cement or brick floors are far better than dry boarded floors for storing upon, because they are colder. If the tubers are not pied down, cold underground cellars are the best places to store In for the winter. Characteristics of the Ground Best Adapted to the Tuber. a. The success of the potato crop de pends very much upon the texture of the soil In which the potatoes are planted. It is a fact well understood by many farmers that there are many soils on which potatoes do hot do well. A too heavy, compact clay does not permit the potatoes to develop to advantage. It may be, too, that in such a soil the organisms that elab orate food do not have the same op portunity to secure air and therefore the carbon with which to work. On the other hand, a too loamy soil, a soil with too much of humus, does not give a large enough tuber, as re lated to the top. The best soils seem to be those that have been created by the southward movement of the great glaciers, which ground to atoms the stones taken from northern lati tudes and made a soli that was Just loose enough to permit the air to work downward without drying out the films of molBture surrounding the soil particles. At the same time such a soil permits the easy penetration of the roots of the potatoes. A good potato Boil is frequently in clined to rocklness, the rocks being the coarser remains of the glaciers that helped to upake the soil. That the soil has an enormous Influence on the successful growing of potatoes is abundantly proven by the way In which the crop succeeds in spots. Thus, in Wisconsin, there Is a section of country near the middle of the state, a wedgeshaped piece, on which wonderful yields of potatoes have been obtained even In years when the crop generally was- a failure. CARE OF THE GARDEN. Manner of Cultivation Determines Largely the Profit Realized. The profits from the kitchen gar den are determined largely by the care that is given the garden. On many of our farms the garden yields little profit, for the simple reason that it is allowed to lie without at" tentlon till the other crops are put In. This inattention sometimes results in the garden not receiving the large amount of manure it should have if it Is expected to do its best The time element cannot be elimin ated from the care of the garden. It takes more time than any other piece of land of equal size on the farm. This is because the garden must be car ried forward under intensive methods and hand work must be a large part of the total wor^ performed. In the care of the garden as much work as possible should be done by means of the farm team or farm horse, but there is much work that can be done only by help of the hoe. Every weed that grows up in the rows must be taken out, for it is taking from the economic plants a certain amount of plant food. This means an expenditure of time. The farmer's boy Is therefore the one that should have the greatest amount of responsibility care of the faiftsa., " CART FOR HAULINQ WATER. Barrel on Wlieeta. tion. The axle, which Is made of Iron, can be bent close tp the hub of the wheels, so as to bring the barrel near the ground and thus facilitate the mat ter of handling the water, explains the Prairie Farmer. The platform can be made any desired size, large enough for two barrels if necessary. 8prlng Draining Work*^ When rains are abundant, dttetr dig ging is not practicable, nor Is it when the ground is as dry as a bone. The best time to begin drainage work on the farm is in the late spring, or at a time when there is some water to run in the soil, so that when a digger gets his ditch down to soil water it will run and thus help him determine the lay of the land. While a first-class engineer can lay a level for tiling with a good deal of certainty, the wa ter itself makes no mistake, and is a good level for the man that has to depend on his own science to get the fall in his drains just right It is not always advisable by any means to dig ditches when their bottoms are wet but It is sometimes, this de pending on the character of the soil and the other circumstances connect ed with the drainage operationa When Varieties Run Out. . When varieties of anything ran put It Is because a certain amount of at tention has not been given to them to keep them from running out Most of our good varieties of things have been created by high feeding of plants. Now, It Is evident that if they are placed In conditions where they are not highly fed, they cannot hold the qualities that have been given them by high feeding. It is probable that if any of our improved plants are high ly fed and well looked after In every way they will retain their first vigor and productiveness.
