Perhaps as the following anecdote would seem to indicate, not all authors belong to the mutual admiration so­ ciety said by a recent writer to exist among the members of the craft. At a dinner given some time ago in honor of Hall Caine, Thomas Nel­ son Page was invited to introduce the English novelist. One of the guests next to Mr. Page, just before the toasts began, passed his menu card around the table with the request that Mr Caine put his signature on it. "That's a good idea," said Page; "I must do that, too. I'v«i,got to introduce Caine in a few minutes, and I want to be able to say tnat I have read something he has written." Home Carpet Cleaning. Old and soiled carpets or rugs may be cleansed and brightened without the trouble or expense of sending them out. Take a bar of laundry soap and Bhave it into a quantity of water suf­ ficient to melt it, say, a pint or per­ haps a little more. Put this on the stove and let it remain until it boils or until the soap Is melted. Then re­ move and when cool add half a bottle of household ammonia. This should make a soap about the Consistency of jelly. To apply to the carpet use a stiff clean scrubbing brush, dampened just a trifle, and scrub carpet vigorously. Then wipe the soap off with a damp cloth, and see that the carpet is not walked over until dry. Care should be taken not to use a drop more water than is ab­ solutely necessary. The effect of this treatment Is real­ ly surprising, the carpets looking as well and sometimes better than when done at the cleanet-'s. Bagdad cur- 4ains and Oriental rugs may,be clean­ ed in the same manner, care being taken not to leave the soap on long enough to make the colors run. m Matinee Accessories.

Moravia, N. 1*., June 6-- Mr. Benja- mft^'Vyilson, a highly respected resi­ dent of this place, came very nearly losing his wife and now that she is cured and restored to good health his gratitude knows no bounds. He says: "My wife has suffered everything with Sugar Diabetes. She has $een sick four years. She doctored with two good doctors but kept growing worse. The doctors said she could not live.

It is far easier in most of our eastern and middle states to make and apply the liquid form, but we foust recognize the fact that In some of our states water is a scarce article', and conditions are such that a dust spray will do the work when a liquid spray would not. Even in the more humid states there are times when the dust might be used with more satisfaction than the liquid spray. There has»been a sharp conflict between the men that favor the liquid spray and the ones that favor the dry dust spray. There has also been a conflict between the makers of implements for the throw­ ing of these sprays. This would natur­ ally be the case. But we must ac­ knowledge the fact that each form of the mixture has certain advantages at certain times. Thus, in a very wet time, the leaves do not hold the spray that comes to them in liquid form, as they are already covered with mois­ ture. If the liquid spray is used a great deal has to be wasted in trying to get enough on to do the work. At such a time the dust spray would stick readily to the wet leaves, and It would be readily seen just where the spray had settled. This of course it is impossible to do with the liquid spray on a wet day. The dust spray may also be put on early ir the morn­ ing, while the dew is still on the leaves, and it sticks to the leaves as the dew evaporates. The dust spray has an advantage over the liquid spray in the rather dry localities, where there are extensive orchards on hilly land. Many of the new orch­ ards are being put out on hilly land, over which it is very difficult to drive a heavy wagon carrying a great tank of water. Where water is scarce this is not only difficult to do, but in many cases it would be very expensive, as the water would have to be hauled a long distance. Yet in those same lo­ calities the dew on the trees is some­ times very heavy, and this helps out matters immensely. But there are many things to be said in favor of the liquid spray. The first thing is that the mixture can be perfectly made and the poison distrib­ uted evenly all through. This is not always the case with the dust spray. It is exceedingly difficult to get a uni form mixture, except with liquid, and a bad mixture means the putting of too much poisoifton some leaves and not enough on others, with the rosult that the trees are not protected from fungi in the one case and are injured by the chemicals in the other. So for our level orchards in the states where moisture is plentiful, the chances are that our orchardists will stick to the liquid spray. The liquid spray has this great advantage over the other that it can be applied at times when the leaves are entirely dry, whiih en­ ables the sprayers to work ah day. In the cases of the dust spray, the work has to be done during a very short time in the morning while the dew is still on the leaves or in wet weather. The men that use the liquid spray have therefore a longer time in which to do their work. successful wife, to retain the lov< and admiration of her husband should be a woman's constant study. Mrs. Brown and M rs. Potts tell their stories for the benefit of all wives and mothers. " DEAR MBS. PINKHAM : -- Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Com­ pound will make every n*other well, strong, healthy and happy. I dragged through nine years of miserable existence, worn out with pain and weariness. I then noticed a statement of a woman troubled as I was, and the wonderful results she had had from your Vegetable Compound, and decided to try what it would do for me, and used it' for three months. At the end of that time I was a different woman, the neighbors remarked it, and my husband fell in love with me all over again. It seemed like a new existence. I had been suf­ fering with inflammation and falling of the womb, but your medicine cured that and built up my entire system, till I was indeed like a new woman. -- Sincerely yours, MRS. CIIAS. F. BBOWS, 21 Cedar Terrace, Hot Springs, Ark.. Vice President Mothers' Club." Suffering: women should not fail to profit by Mrs. Brown's ex­ periences ; just as surely as she was cured of the troubles enumer­ ated in her letter, just so surely will Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable torn pound cure other women who suffer from womb troubles, inflammation of the ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous excitability, and nervous prostration. Kead the story of Mrs. Potts to all mothers: -- " DEAR MRS. PTNKHAM : -- During the early fiart of my married life I was very delicate n health. I had two miscarriages, and both my husband and I felt very badly as we were anxious to have children. A neighbor who had been using JLydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound advised me to try it, and I decided to do so. I soon felt that my appetite was increasing, the headaches gradually decreased and finally disappeared, and my general health improved. I felt as if new blood coursed through my veins, the sluggish tired feeling disappeared, and I be­ came strong and well. " Within a year after I became the mother of a strong healthy child, the joy of our home. Yen certainly have a splendid remedy, and I wish every mother knew of it. -- Sincerely Sours, MRS. ANNA. POTTS, 510 Park Ave., Hot prings, Ark."

In the humid states there is no rea­ son why ornamental and shade trees should not be more extensively plant­ ed than at present, though we are glad to see that there is an Improve­ ment in this direction. In the semi- arid states, where trees have to be ir­ rigated to get them to start we find the farmers taking much interest in this matter, though they are doing that kind of work under great diffl culties. But in all of the humid re­ gions one has but to put a good tree into the ground to get it started, and it will afterwards take care of itself. But in the planting of trees great care needs to be exercised as to the place in *hich they are to be set and as to varieties set. When these trees are in. they are in for a lifetime of man. and a mistake will be felt as long as the planter lives, if he remains on the place. First, we would advise not to set too many trees and not to set them too close together. To be sym­ metrical, trees must have lots of room. On the farm, shade trees-ehould not be set closer than 60 *feit. This of course does not apply to the orna mental trees of small growth like the Arbor Vitae and the ornamental crabs. By the roadside trees for shade should not be set closer than 100 feet. Beetles on Melon Vines. Relative to the striped cucumber beetle on melon vines, a bulletin of the Oklahoma station says: In addi­ tion to the preventive measures of cleaning up rubbish and a thorough cultivation of the melon ground, the use of Bordeaux mixture as a repel­ lent, and squash as a trap crop are among the most promising of the remedies recommended by thore who have successfully dealt with this In­ sect. Squashes are planted about four days before the melons. One or more rows of squashes should be planted, according to the size of the leld. Some of the trap plants may be lusted with Paris green when the beetles gather on them. Others should fe left to attract the beetles through t^ie summer. It seems that spraying He young melon vines with Bordeaux mixture not only repels the cucumber 1 eetle, but also poisons some of the I-tsects which feed on the sprayed leaves. BIG DISTILLERY IS Corning Company Plant at Peoria, III., Is Scene of Death. EXPLODING LANTERN IS CAUSE Flaming Spirits are Thrown in ail Di­ rections, the Fire Communicating to Other Buildings With Great Rapid­ ity, Killing Fourteen Persons. Peoria, 111., special: Fourteen men were killed and six injured, property worth $2,000,000 was destroyed and 3,000 cattle were burned to death In a fire that swept the .Corning Company 's distillery, the second largest in "the world, Saturday afternoon. A stream of burning spirits spread the fire to the Peoria stockyards, a block* dis­ tant, but by hard work the yards were saved. (Tbe fire was caused by an explod­ ing lantern, which set fire to 30,000 barrels of spirits in the warehouse. The burning spirits communicated the flames to the entire plant and every building was destroyed, save one. Dead and Missing. Eight bodies were recovered from the ruins Sunday, four of which were identified. The identified are: George Gebhardt, Peter Lettemeyer, Thomas E. Montgomery, Samuel Parsons. The list of missing Is as follows: Ernest Brown, Milton Crowl, William Finley, Jr., John Hobaker, Frank Knoll, Alec. Powell, Louis So*, Jo* seph Zimmerman. It was at 4:20 in the afternoon when the large warehouse, eleven stories high, built of corrugated iron, burst into flames. It contained 30,00o bar­ rels of proof spirits and as the barrels exploded the burning spirits was thrown in all directions. The fire spread with lightning rapidity and was soon communicated to the .cistern room, a brick Duilding three stories high, and to the fermenting rooms two brick buildings three stories high The cattle sheds were in the path of the flames and burning spirits flood ed the pens. The suffering of the ani mals was terrible. The entire distil lery plant, save the cookers, was swept away. Blown From Seventh Story. Frank Phelan was In the seventh story of the warehouse and was blown to the ground, a distance of a hun dred feet, but was only slightly hurt Abe Feinberg was hurt by a falling wall, his back and head being cut and bruised. A few minutes before the fire Fore man Finley sent an entire gang of workers to one of the upper floors One of the gang was his own son, William Finley, Jr., who is among the dead. A team of the National Cooperage Company, with two men, was in the building at the time of the explosion, Nunloading barrels, and nothing has been seen of men or horses since. Carried by Stream of Whisky. Elmer Hcgan died at the Cottage Hospital. He was washed to the liver in a stream of whisky, receiving many cuts and burns. The warehouse B, where the explo­ sion that did the damage occurred, was an eleven-story structure. 100x200 feet in dimensions, and at the time of the fire rontained in the neighbor­ hood of 30,000 gallons of spirits. Warehouse A and the cistern room, a three-story brick building, 100x200 feet, contained in the neighborhood of 52,000 gallons of spirits. In the two fermenting ropms, 100x180 feet, were eighteen tubs, with a capacity of 1,000 bushels of mash each. They were all filled and contained about 5.000 gal­ lons of spirits each. All this went up in flames and added to the general loss. FATAL FOLDING BED ACCIDENT Banker's Wife Dies as Result of Hav­ ing Her Vertebrae Crushed. Minneapolis, Minn., dispatch: Mrs. A M Woodward, wife of the presi­ dent of the South Side State bank, is dead as the result of a fatal folding bed accident. Three vertebrae of the neck were crushed, and other se­ rious injuries made it impossible for the surgeons to save her life. The accident happened after mid night while Mrs. Woodward was asleep. Early in the morning the bed end denly closed. Mr. Woodward was un­ hurt, and managed to get one hand out the side of the closed bed, and by pounding awoke the other occupants of the home. A consultation of surgeons deter mined that an operation alone cotiM relieve the pressure on the spina! cord and save Mrs. Woodward's lifV. Two surgeons performed the opera tion. A slight improvement was fol lowed by a collapse, resulting In death.
