Dr. Leon Landone of Los Angeles once lived for a fortnight on spine- less cac Wishing to prove that cactus as an excellent food, he ® the following menu: Cel and eacius soup; fried cactus, salad made of the eactus fruit, let- tuce and celery, and sherbet flavor- ed with fruit of the cactus. This | was his sole diet for the whole four- | teen days. At the end of that time! he found that net only was his | "heath greatly improved, bur that he had gained half a pound in weizht Last year an extraordinary expuori- ment was tried on a medical student | at the Carpegie laboratory of .the | University at Bellevue Hospital Me- dical college at New York.

"He was shut up: for thirteen days in a cially condtructed chamber, and his every movement was watch- tontinuously by doctors through | an observation window. A ther-| moneter, eledrically connected with | the chamber, showed the watchers how the "subject" was affected by every bit of f that he ate, and by a series of delicate instruments they tell the exget amount of oxygen that was burn by his system. The -imprisoned man's food was made as viried as possible, and by mean of their instruments the doctors were ¢énabled to, prove that different foods ~have a marked effect on the amount of heat generated. \ 3 In 1906 something of a sensation was caused among diet experts by the statement of Dr. Hermann Sch- wartz, an Austrian doctor, that he ad lived for twenty-three years sole y on a diet of milk. = Three gallons of milk daily was the doctor's only means of nourishment and he declar- ed, that he never regretted his len- wy ment with a lacteal diet, 4s he ayways in the best of 'bealth. During the twenty-three years the doctor had-drunk 25,185 'gallons of. milk. The Bearded Lady.

Worth About $8 a Ton--One Man Can Harvest Abant. a Ton of the Weed a Day. : Growing soap promises to becume a profitable industry on the prairies of the South-west. : 7 ' . The soap-weed, or nish bayo- net, flourishes in western Kansas, southern Colorado, Arizona, Néw 'México and Texas. Until lately this plant has been regarded only as a troublesome weed. Farmers and ranch owners took great pains to exterminate it on account of it¥ ha- bit of spreading over large areas and killing off other vegetation. | Now science has discovered tha what has be despised 23 a wead i rexlly a plant having a high market Var as 4 raw material ior soap, so manufacturers are ready' to pay ® ton Tor the roots and tops, and as it costs not more than $5'or $6 1g harvest, dry and bale a fon, thera is a hansome profit for the farmer. The work of cutting and. shiyping soapweed has already been beguu op a large scale in western Kansgs, and the United States Forest Seryice is doing its best to turn the attention of other localities to the impgrtanee of this new Industry. .

A: perfectly "clean theater, with waxed floors, and no dirt even in the gallery, a simple theater 'without plush or gilding, with hard; hut ele- gant seats even in the stalls, '3 thea- ter where before you enter you must hang up your hat and overcoat on a peg and take off your overshges, a theater of no clapping-or layghter, and to which you' cannot bg admit- ted if you are unpunctual and arrive after the action has commenced, a theater where between the acts you all leave your seats to walk 'and talk in the corridors and picture galler- ies of the theater, or to sit and take coffee in the restaurant; a theater where the raising or tne curtain ai- resh is not heralded by bells or knocks on the floor, but' by turning the lectric light off, first a Guapter, then a balf, then three-quarters.

Thin out seedings.nf annuals, and thin out vegetables when they get nicely up--beets and carrots, and all the things that are planted in rows---- and take the little ones in to be cooked, tops and roots, for greens. You cannot eat too many greefis, you know, all summer. Put stakes to everything that is going to ' grow tall long before it needs them, for, if you do mot, the plants will lop aver and the stems twist aropnd in all sorts of outlandish ways, and you can never straighten them out; they will have grown that way, you see. 8¢ set, the stakes and begin tying the plants down /mear the .ground when they ave little, tying them again and again as they raise up; thus they will be fine and straight: Be sure you tie loosely, so as not to restrict the sap. circulation. And if you ean get oic stockings to cut into strips for this tying, you will have about the best material that I know. Rake the ground twice a week at least, to keep the surface light and prevent the moisture from being drawn out. And pick seed-pods from all your flowers as soon as you see them even starting. This is the way to'keep the plants blooming, for, of course, what they are after is seed. And as sgon as they have formed it, they will be satisfied and not try to make any more; that is, they will stop blooming. Good gar- déners do not let them have their way therefore, and so they get blos- Jsoms all summer.--St. Nicholas. Wouldn't Risk: the Cows. M.
