On many of the suburban estates that delight in Italian garden features the well curbs are splendidly carved reproductions of celebrated types, but the original well curbs in ancient form and thronging with historic associations have the preference in the majority of Instances.

Mother Nature surely must have set out to make "something different" the day she invented the porcupine.

Suburban Life d Los Angeles. Four men are known to be dead and fifteen are missing, there being no doubt that their charred bodies will be found later, as the result of an explosion and fire which destroyed the plant of the Los Angeles Times, early Friday morning, causing a monetary loss of half a million dollars.

Vienna. One of the most interest-.nmonarchs in Europe, perhaps anywhere, is Prince, now King, Nicholas of Montenegro, who has recently celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his reign. During this half century he has been to the people a father and a friend, and it is asserted that he knows every one of his subjects by name, which probably is an exaggeration. He spends his summers in Cetinje and his winters in Antivarl, down on the Adriatic coast, hut has residences in the principal towns of the kingdom and occupies each for a few weeks every year in order to keep in touch with local affairs. He is very democratic In his manners, and although he dresses in the national costume of his country, which looks fantastic for a man of his age, his tastes are simple, and his habits and manners are those of a country gentleman. Nicholas was born at the little village of Njegos, a nest in the mountains, In 1841. His uncle, Danilo, the late Vladika of Montenegro, designated him for his successor. He was educated in Vienna, Trieste and Paris, and was not quite twenty yelirs old when he was elevated to the throne. In 1860, a few months after he was crowned, Nicholas married a Montenegrin girl, Milena Vukotich, daughter of Peter Vukotich, president of the council of state, who was also a farmer and one of the largest land owners in the country, and she has been a congenial companion and valuable help meet. The Princess Mellena is as popular as her husband, and presides over the palace with simple but graceful dignity. She wears the native costume when she is in Montenegro, but has a g As showing what may be done on a email lawn at a mimimum outlay except in personal labor, bestowed by the owner a few minutes at a time after the day's work had been done, the experience of a few years Is instructive. Ten years ago there was not a sing'e tree or shrub on the little lawn, which had bpen part of an open field, badly run down, so that the crops did not pay for cultivation. There wls no belt of timber or shurbs anywhere near, and the winds had unobstructed sweep over the whole locality The soil was a stlfT putty D'ho clay when wet, and like bricks whn dry In this unpromising j,ituatii n a syrdicate had built two or three houses for sale to pnib'e purchasers One of them had hpn rented for a year, but the tenant found the locality so bleak in winter that he left at the end' of the year. The plaee was filially sold at a low price to a young man whose business was in the city, and he had only the early mornings and the evenings after six oclock to devote to his home lot. He began by" digging over a border four or five feet wide, widest on the west, or windward, side, mixing in plenty of coal ashes, of which a large pile had been left by the previous occupant. A swampy brush pasture In the neighborhood was visited frequently, and young shrubs and wild plants were taken home and planted along the border without any attempt at formal or scientific arrangement. In the ten years not more than $5 has been paid for shrubs, such cultivated plants as lilacs and roses being suckers which were becoming troublesome in the gardens of city friends Some of the wild plants were obtained during visits to the country, as he generally returned home from such visits with a basket full of plants from the woods Now, after ten years, the border is a mass of shrubery and a dense foundation of wild flowering and herbaceous plants, so dense that the highest winds do not break -- through, and there are always plenty of flowers under the shrubs, the plants seeming to blossom and, grow as well as In oher native woods.

Allow the work horse adequate supplies of cool, pure water often when he is at work and he never will take too much of it or suffer ill effects from drinking. Indeed the water so given will be likely to prevent sickness and always is appreciated and beneficial. The Best Rations for Hogs. Recent experiments at the Missouri station prove that corn, good corn, is a good feed for any animal, and that there is no reason for withholding it from any animal needing tood. At the same time, it is shown that corn alone is not nearly so good or so profitable a feed as corn supplemented by some proteid food, such as tankage, linseed oil meal or soy beans. In hogs fed exclusively on corn the animal becomes very fat and chubby, and does not develop properly; the hones are brittle and easily broken. Sixty-fiv- e hogs were used in this experiment, and they were divided into lots of five each. Twelve different rations were used, with corn alone in two of them, and ',orn supplemented l)ome other feed in the others. The hogs fed on corn and linseed oil meal and those fed on corn and tankage gained the most; those receiving corn alone were most unsatisfactory. Clover for Horses. An experiment conducted at the Illinois experiment station in fattening horses for market showed that clover Is worth twice as much as timothy, pound for pound, In putting flesh on It is the belief of the the animals. station that its value will be more as a horse feed highly appreciated when corn forms all or part of the grain ration than where all oats are fed.

If it Is not supplied it is absorbed from the body tissues; they shrink and the horse is said to get poor. Failure to give sufficient water is far more frequently the cause of farm horses getting poor during the working season than lack of feed. Horses suffer seriously from the usual practise of allowing them to go from one feeding period till the next in hot weather without water. A good rule Is to water the first thing in the morn ing, then within two hours alter each feed and the last thing in the even ing.

She insists upon her daughters-in-law wearing the same dress as her subjects when they are at home, and encourages the people to continue the ancient customs and practise the arts and accomplishments of past generations. Nicholas usually rides around in a little pony chaise, drawn by a diminutive animal like that Queen Victoria used to use In her garden at Osborne and In the park at Balmoral. The pony Is led by a page and the prince sits back in the cushions and talks to everybody he meets on the street In a most condescending and fatherly manner. The women come out from their houses and kiss the hem of his cloak and the little children worship hhn as If he were a demi god. In the eyes of these simple people he is the author of all the good that they enjoy; the protector of their lives and homes; their guardian and benefactor in every sende. From 1460 to 1851 the executive authority In Montenegro was exercised by Vladikas, or prince bishops as they were called, the same man being the head of the church and the head of the state. He performed the ecclesiastical functions of a patriarch of the Orthodox Greek church as well as the civil duties of a king. At first the Vladikas were elected by ballot, but about 1696 a powerful and progressive leader named Babylas founded the present dynasty, and, as the Vladika was not permitted to marry, the crown has descended from uncle to nephew in the same family ever since. King Nicholas, the present ruler of Montenegro, is the second who has not been ordained as a priest. He simply refused to assume ecclesiastical authority and the people, who Idolized him as a young man, unanimously sustained him In his violation of precedent. Ecclesiastical authority is therefore exercised by a regular bishop, elected by the clergy. The daughters of King Nicholas are uncommonly beautiful and accomplished and those of them who have ( married have done well.

A .commercial traveler, driving from town to town through the pine wood3 of Florida, saw a drove of emaciated razorback hogs rushing wildly from tree to tree. He halted at the palcrackers ings of a home, and asked a woman in a sunbonnet what was the matter with the swine.
