Man Suspected of Being With Her Returns
But Denies Seeing Her.
The mystery of the disappearance of
Mrs. Oscar Schreiber, J r., a nineteen-
year-old Wife, of Bethel, who dropped
out of sight a week~ ago, has not been

Mrs. Schreiber disappeared, was ar-
raigned before a justice in Bethel on
Tuesday. He returned to town Monday.

Although the Schreibers had been
looking for him with the hope that he
would explain the young woman’s ab-
sence, he denied that he had seen her
Isincc he lefthethel and, contradicted
the stories that he was seen in a rail-
way station in Danbury in her com-

daily caller upon the authorities of
Danbury or Bethel to urge them to
greater efforts to find his wife. He
believes that she is being concealed
somewhere in Danbur y.

FORTUNESIVN'OSIER GROWING. . i
Hen \‘e‘llo Plant- \Villows Will Reap a
. Large’l’rofil .
Osier-growing is an, industry that .
has a great future befO“e it in the‘
United States. Experts of the De-
partment of Agriculture have been in-
vestigating the subject recently, and
they declare that fortunes await enter-
prising persons who will thus utilize
the vast tracts of. land available for
this purpose. Planted with the species
of willows used for basket-making
tens of thousands of acres that are
worthless for anything else could be
made to pay an enormous interest on
the investment—notices, in fact, than
, 20 or 30 per cent. It is absolutely nec-
essary, however, that the proper varie-
ties should be obtained, else the spec-
ulation will not be a success. The av-
erage dealer is not to be trusted on
such a point!
The willow-ware industry, though as
yet in its infancy in this country, has
been slowly growing during the last“
few years. ‘
The United States consumes a great-
er quantity of willow-ware than any
other country in the world. Our im-
ports of fine ware from one districl
in Germany amount to about $230,000
per annum. Willow baskets, hampers,
chairs, etc, have become a staple in-
dustrial article, and .-the denxoand for
them is enormous; in fact, it is far
greater than the supply. Sawed-wood
and split-wood baskets are used largely
for shipping fruits, but these can never
take the place of the‘ strong, light, and
durable willow baskets for many oth-
er purposesr... , ' -
The soil for basket willows should
be a deep, sandy loam, well drained
and thoroughly prepared. The situation
ought to be low, level, and naturally
moist. The best place to grow
oisers is along the banks of rivers and
brooks that pass through a level coun-
try, and on the small islands which
frequently occur in the midst of
streams. Completely draining the site
for a basket-willow plantation is the
first step toward its formation and
the foundation of its success. There
are hundreds of thousands of acres of
marsh land, located principally-in the
upper lake regions, which might be
drained at a small outlay and planted
with basket willows, producing an im-
mense profit.
THE BEST PINEAPPLES lN CUBA.
Easy of Cultivation and Requires Little
Capital.
Nowhere on the globe do pineapples
thrive as in Eastern Cuba, where the
conditions of soil and climate bring
“the golden apples of Hesperides” to
absolute perfection; yet the pineapple
industry has never had much attention
in this section. Here is another
chance for the enterprising Yankee.
A tract of unoccupied land, extending
as far as one can see, may be bought
for a few dollars and turncd‘into a
fruit farm, the virgin soil of unparal-
leled richness being capable of produc—
ing every tropical growth. Shipping
facilities are already cstublishcd at
Baracoa and several small ports, audit
the land touches the Yumuri or some
other river, so much the better for its
owner. Evolution seems to have. pro-
gressed further in Cuba, for in the
older and more carefully cultivated
plantations, the saw teeth that edge
the long, pointed leaves, have mainly
disappeared.
A plant produces only one pine at a
time. The fruit thrusts itself upward
in the middle of a mass of long, nar-
row a-nd sharp arched leaves spreading
forth from a central stalk, precisely
like those of the Agave Americana, 01
“century” plant, with which everybody
is familiar. The stem is perhaps
eighteen inches to two feet in height.
The same plant produces a second
apple, and a third, and so on through
several bearings; after which a new
plant must be started from the “slip.”
Nothing is easier of cultivation or re-
quires less capital and previous experi-
ence, and few crops bring in greater or
more certain returns.-—Cor. Providence

Rubber Band 9 Remedy for Headache.
“Departmental headaches are a dis-
tinct malady,” remarked a well-lanown
physician, “and it is somewhat of a
surprise how many sufferers there are
among department clerks from this
trouble. , The thing seems to grow"
among them, and they have their
headaches “as regularly as they have
their work. A simple remedy which
is worth trying is to put a rubber band
around the head juso above the ears.
The band should not’be tight enough
to stop the circulation of the blood.
The band known as the string band is
generally sufficiently heavy for the
purpose. It should be applied just as
soon as it is noticed that the headach.»
is setting in, and taken off the moment
the pain ceases. In many cases the
rubberband works nicely enough,
though it affords no relief when the
result of stomach
troubles or biliousness. I find, also,
that a rubber band twisted about a toe
between the corn 'and the foot is a
handy remedy to stop the pain from a
jumping corn. Corns are very liable
to be troublesome when there is much
humidity in the atmosphere. The rub-
ber band seems to temporarily quiet
the nerves in the toe, and in this way
stop the pain. As in the case of a
band around the head, the,p-ressure
should not be tight enough to stop the
circulation of the blood.”—Washington

CAUGHT BYHTHE. CAMERA. .
A Whale Photographed 'While n Strugb
gled For Liberty.
Hunters and othersportsmen who
carry the camera with them When
they go after big game. have an ad-
vantage over the ordinary man be-
cause they often manage to ”gee a
s’napshof to prove the truthfulness of
their stories. Recently the improve
ment in small protographing appara-
tus that could be carried in a pack has
made it possible for hunters to return
to civilization not only with the heads
and hides of big game but with pic-
tures that showed the quarry while It
still was alive and ignorant of the fate
that was creeping on it. Thus stay at
homes have been treated to pictures
of rogue elephants, pumas, bear. and
deer taken by clever and plucky men.
But never, until an English sportsman
in the Shetland Islands was fortunate
enough to have his camera along just
as a school of whales appeared off the
fishing village, has the werld been‘
treated to a photograph of a whale
hunt
rThe sportsman-photographer
loitering around the shore one day
when the fishermen cried out that
whales Were coming into the voe. The
voe is a deep narrow inlet or firth. of
the kind which abound on the coast of
the Shetland and Orkney Islands.
The daring fishermen of thosecoasts
are always ,on the lookout for such
prizes as whales and almost before
the cry had ceased they were running
toward the beach from all directions
to launch boats and fight the immense
sea creatures. Our Englishman was
as greatly excited as were the fisher-
men. only instead of a harpoon he
carried his little camera and soon he
was in one of the long, solid boats
that were speeding toward the tum-
bling whales. He was lucky enough
to get his boatmen into position just
as the whaleboats closed in on the
school and when the first harpoon was
thrown he got an excellent picture.
.The whales which are shown in it
are the bottle-nosed or grinder whales.
They are large, though not as enor-
mous as the right whale, and they
make a fierce fight. The Shetlanders
approached the school in such a way
that they cut off the retreat to deep
water and having the whales between
the boats and the shore, they fastened
several boats together with long tow-
ing lines so that the victim when
struck should have as much of a load
as possible to pull. Then the foremost
or hurpoone-r’s boat was. steered close
to the whale. as near his head as
possible and yet so far away from his
eye that he could not see his enemies
approaching. The iron was buried
into' him and the boats all backed
away as swiftly as the men could
wield the oars.
do the particular hunt which made
it possible to take this picture, the
first and largest whale to be struck
' was killed in good shape after having
towed the boats only a short distance.
But the second whale to be harpooned.
though he was a small fish, was so
savage that the battle lasted for
hours and finally. when the men were
tired out, it ended in the escape of the
plucky animal. The Shetlanders.
however, did not have to return with
only one whale. While the fight with
the small whole was going on, the
other fishermen managed to drive
part of the school close in shore and
three or four of the Whales. panic
sticken. swam into the inlet where
they were caged by the falling tide.
It was an easy matter to dispatch
them, and the village soon was rich
and odorous with whale oil.
Accepting Favors an Art.
There are a great many friendships
ruined by the unwillingness on one
side or the other to accept favors. Two
school girl friends united by many'con-
genial ties are forced apart because
the poorer one foolishly thinks that
sheshould "make some return for the
pretty gifts, the party invitations, the
tickets to concerts or matinees which
her friend loves to remember her with.
She knows that she is unable to make
any return, so refuses the good times,
and by doing so not only deprives her
friend of the keenes‘t delight, but her-
self of many opportunities for pleas-
ure. and the family circle at home of
the recital of the fresh and novel ex-
perience which contact with the world
outside of her home would surely
bring her.
. Favors are of many sorts. It some-
times happens that a wealthy woman
may wish to send a girl to college. to'
help her in her music. to encourage her
in her desire for an art education; she
may give her books. take her out with
her and give her opportunities for
hearing great artists. When-a girl
has such favors offered her she should
accept them gracefully and with a
clear conscience. The favors are not
all on one side; her bright face and
enthusiastic appreciation mean much
to the woman who is fortunate enough
to be able. to dispense favors—Ladies

The Drink a Man Needs.
An average man requires fifty-nine
ounces of food per diem. He needs
thirty-seven ounces of water for drink-
ing, and in breathing.‘ne absci'bs thirty
ounces of oxygen. ~_ He eats as much
water as he drinks, so much of that
fluid being contained in various foods.
In order to supply fuel for running
the body-machine, and to make up for
waste tissue, he ought to swallow daily
the equivalent, of twenty ounces of
bread, three ounces of potatoes, one
ounce of butter, and one quart of wa-
far. The body is mostly water. The
body of a man weighing 154 pounds
contains ninety-six pounds, or forty-
six quarters, of water.

Q And All of the Ills lhal Result from Deranged dents, Such as Nervous‘ J
_ Dyspepsia, Sleeplessness, Spinal Trouble, Nervous
"" 31% Headaches and Even Insanity“,
The nerves are the most delicate part of the human system. There is no
part of the be 1y that is not reached and covered by a delicate network of
these sensitive little messengers, that, besides conveying the sensations of feel-
ing to the brain 1" rom every part of the body, are also the wires over which the
brain sends its messages to all parts of the body, thus keeping it in subjection
and making the different parts do and act as the brain directs.
Let the nerves become deranged and all sorts of terrible diseases quickly
follow: nervous dyspepsia, sleeplessness, forgetfulness, moments of depres-
sion, a desire to be alone, dull headaches, the dread of noise or excitement, .
. are preliminary symptoms, which if left neglected are apt to terminate in some
serious nervous affliction, such as spinal disease, or even insanity.
There is no need of anyone suffering with nervousness and allowing him~
self to get in such a condition that he is worse than dead. Insanity is the
most terrible affliction that can overtake mortal man.
sight than to see some dear friend, able to walk and talk and be about, and yet
reduced to a state that is more pitiful than that of an animal, for even an ani- '
mal has instinct to govern it, while those whose minds have become darkened
seem to be devoid even of that instinct which gives intelligence to the brute.
How much more terrible is it when such insanity takes a form where the
sufferer becomes violent and those whom he used to love in brighter moments
are obliged to have him confined, in order that damage shall not be dope to him-
self or his friends. How much better would it be if we were allowed to put
people so afflicted out of their misery forever, for surely their lives under such
conditions are much worse than death.
Still, how much better it would be if all this was avoided. There is no
need of anyone coming to such a terrible end. If all who realize that they
are nervous would but take precautions in time, untimely deaths and many
years of suffering that is worse than death would do avoided.
The nerves are capable of being strengthened and made healthy. The
remedy that will do this most effectually is Smith’s Green Mountain Renova— '
. tor, that. greatest of all blood and nerve medicines. 3
If you are suffering from nervous depression, nervous debility or the many
other nerve troubles that are the beginning of serious and lifelong derange-
ments, do not continue without making an effort to regain your health.
‘Stop and consider what will become of your family if you go from worse to
worse,.and eventually become ahelpless, if not a dangerous, care upon their
hands. Think how those depending upon you would. suffer were you to die,
and thus deprive them of your support. Think of how much more your
beloved ones will suffer if they have you upon their hands, not only unable to
support them, but in such a. condition as will .make it necessary for them to
devote every minute to your care.
Do not, as we have said before, get in such a condition. Take at once
Smith’s Green Mountain Renovator. It will purify your blood, it will strength-
en your nerves. It will prevent awful consequences, and it will surely cure
you of the many ills which are a direct result of nervous complications.
.“I have used Smith’s Green Moun-
tain Renovator as a nerve medicine
with splendid. results. It has been of
great benefit to me, and I can cheer-
fully recommend it to all suffering from
such disorders. JAMES M. Foss, St.
Albans, Vt.”
_ “Six years ago last January I was

recommendation of the Rev. A. C.
Smith of this town. Ihave taken in all
seven. bottles and am now quite well
and able to work. I had been pre-
scribed for by several physicians, most
of whom pronounced my case hopeless;
but through the blessing of God and
the use of your Renovator, I feel my-
