Beecher and Storrs were thine, Jachin and Boaz, pillars of the ora- torleal temple\u2014and, Lord, how they hated esch other! Walt Whitman also was thine, the insurgent rhapsodical poet\u2014but thou knewest him not because he was flannel shirted.Placid and prim were thy streets, and thy spirit was self-contented, sure that the ultimate truth and the final social form were embodied in Brooklyn.(Reader, I am afraid that these paragraphs, If you follow the punctuation, may seem like un-capitalized vers libre.Let us get back to honest prose.) May the 1st, fn the days which T recall, was the time appointed for the transmigration of households.It was not a movable feagt, it was a fixed feast of movables.The little houses poured forth their accumulated treasures and rubbish to be conveyed to other little houses.\u201cApartments\u201d were unknown, but tenements had begun to exist.Neither the origin nor the destination made any difference.The point was that you had to move if your lease was up, and your goods and chattels had to move with you.Great was the disclosures on that day of the stuff that had been accumulated.The discreet, giguntic moving van had not yet been invented, breezy Valuable Nipa Palm.For the Nipa palm, so abundant in many parts of southeastern Asia, an important future is predicted as a source of alcohol and sugar.To the Philippines, this palm occupies vast marshy areas near the river rmouths around Manila bay and along the coast of other provinces.Its leaf is used for thatching the roofs of native huts, and its frult is eaten raw or presevved.The juice, from which toddy is made, is coliveted from incisions in the bark after the tree is five years old, Each tree yields about 43 quarts in the period from July to December, and each acre of 800 trees should therefore produce about 35,000 quarts.Dr, Gibi, a chemist assoclated with the Manila bureau of sciences, finds that this should supply at least 5,000 quarts of 95 per cent alcohol.Used for sugar.a gallon of julee yielded about 8 ounces of sucrose, which after boiling and drying rave excellent crystals weighing about 5 ounces, besldes a quantity of first and second quality molasses, It is estimated that the refining of this sugar should cost considerably less than that from cane.Introducing the Bassarisk.Ever meet a bassarlsk?No, not a basilisk ; that Is something different.A bassarisk is a cacomixle.But the animal Is better known as the \u201ccivet eat\u201d\u2014though why so called nobody knows, fnasmuch as It i8 not a civet and not a cat.It Is a strunge little creature, related to the raccoon, with a very long, bushy tail ringed In black and white.Sometimes it is called a \u201cring-talled cat\u201d and sometimes a \u201ccat-squirrel!\u201d \u2014the latter designation bestowed on account of its squirrel-like habit of climbing trees and nesting In hollow branches, Like a cat, It entches rate, mice and small birds, It is about 16 inches long, not counting the tail, which measures another 16 inches.In color it is brownish gray.It is a night prowler, lIke a cat, and often makes its home in outhulldings and deserted The civet eat ranges from Mexico and Texas to California and as far north ns southern Oregon.Occasionally It is kept in captivity as a pet.False Acute Indigestion.What is commonly called acute indigestion is, according to Dr.Beverley Robinson of New York, primarily an ovepr-strained, weakened heart, already diseaxed, or a cerebral hemorrhage.Such cases he treats with nromatie spirits of ammonia, having first placed a one-minhn hypodermic tablet of strophanthus under the tongue to dissolve, Aloof.\u201cWho is your cholee for the nomt- nation?\u2019 Farmer Corntossel was asked.\u201cHaven't made any,\u201d replled Farmer Corntossel.\u201cNobody asked me to no convention;

for FAMOUS ROMAN FEAST DAY May 24 Has Been for Centuries a Day of Merrymaking in the Italian Capital.Though the night of Muy 23 was \u201cwitches night\u201d In Rome no serious accident was reported next day.The witches which fly on broomsticks between the ancient hills of the Cuello and Esquilino apparently were afraid of the broom and the basin of salt put outside so many doors and went home In despair.May 24 is St.John the Baptist's day, one always kept by old-fashioned Romans as à day for eating snails.Snalls are the Roman idea of the locusts which St.John the Baptist ate when in the desert, But why witches should try to take possession of Rome on the night before his feast day is a mystery, They do fly about on broowmsticks, says populur report, and salt and a broom alone will keep them out of homes, By some hidden law which the Romans themselves don't try to account for, no witch will enter a house before which stand a basin of salt and a broom until she has counted every grain of salt in the basin and all the wisps in the broom.As the nights are short in May the witch gives up the task In despair, knowing she could never finish her Job before sunrise.The night of May 23 13 a great night for the Rowman people; they gather in the fields outside St.John Lateran, eat snalls, dance, sing and throw flowers at each other.An odd modern note is given by an enormous merry-go-round, opposite the anclent church dedicated to St, John.Its wooden horses go round and round to American ragtimes, fox trots and bunny-hugs.It ls a mixture of old and new worthy of that extraordinary elty, where ali the centuries get jumbled up together and make friends in a way you might search the world for and not find elsewhere.The May night festival 18 older than John the Baptist and marks the tradition of the old Roman springtime jollity called the lupercali.These feasts were In honor of the wolf which fed Romulus and Remus, the twin founders of the city.A real live wolf is kept In the capitol till that day In had there been no wolf to feed the twins there would be no Itome today, the Romans argue.Is It Pseudo-Science?Human intellect is so partial to a generalization that even men of sel- ence constantly are guilty of generalizing upon an insufficient basis of facts.A learned professor of the University of Cincinnati invites us to be- Heve that the older the parents the better the chances of distinction for the children.He draws his conclusion from what he says are the facts concerning cattle and horses.But only the other day we rend n dissertation by another sel- entist warning against taking for criterion the history of the domestic animals, asserting that the human race, as far as heredity Is concerned, Is as much a wild species as lions, elephants, or wolves.The Cincinnati savant also derives his induction from the facts concerning the parentage of illustrious men, Franklin, Lincoln, Newton, for instance, the sum of whose parents\u2019 ages at thelr birth was high, Yet it is a fact that the mother of Napoleon at the time of his birth was but elght- een and his father scarcely thirty.And the illustration can be repented many times.Make Study of Botulism.A sum of money has been raised by the olive growers and the canning Industry for an intensive study of botulism In California.According to Scl- ence, the Investigation will be conduct: ed In the laboratories of the Stanford University Medical school and the George Willlam Hooper Foundation for Medical Research of the University of California, and the co-operation of the United States health service and the Californin state board of health.The investigation will include a careful study of the distribution of the bacillus botullnus in nature, of the ways in which food materlals may become infected, and of the steps necessary to destroy the organism when it has Infected raw food materials.A staff of speclally trained workers has been engaged and It Is expected that the work will require at lenst two years.Impressing the Office Boy.\u201cThe secret of Success, son,\u201d sald the boss to the new boy, \u201cIs absolute, complete consecration of time to busl- ness,\u201d \u201cYes, sir.\u201d \u201cIn our establishment, we never look at the clock\u2014never look at the clock\u2014\" \u201c1 won't sir.\u201d \u201cThat's right, my boy.Never look at the clock when you're at the office.Never look at the clock except In the morning, look at the alarm clock, son \u2014early to work, never at home, makes a man independent.That'll do, son;

Times, GOOD DS INTEREST IN FARM MOTORS Government Schools Give Special In struction In Operation of Tractors and Trucks.The government in calling attention to the Increased use of automobiles and motor trucks on the farm, has laid its finger on the one big factor that 1s going to not only make farming an attractive business proposition, but will Increase the number of productive farms and make life ofi the farm more attractive, The government schools teach men how to operate farm tractors successfully, thus creating a new business or profession, that of the farm mechanl- cal operating expert\u2014a man who can take hold of the production activities of the farm and through the correct operation of tractors, motor trucks and other motor-driven implements and appliances can double and treble the production and distribution of farm products.The automobile insures quick Individual transportation from one field to another on the farm, or from the farm to the nearest shipping point or city.The motor truck llkewise insures economical and dependable transportation of produce and live stock, from farm to shipping point or city.With the tractor insuring equal efficiency in production of farm produce, the farmer of today will be the equal of his city brother in the matter of employing time, labor and cost saving equipment that not only increases production but makes the actual work more attractive and remunerative.Without a doubt, the farmer of a few years hence will employ motor- driven equipment on nearly the same A Particularly Serviceable Truck for All-Round Farm Work.scale that the manufacturer does in the city, insuring-the same benefits, increasing his products and decreasing his farm depreclation.ROADS TO DEVELOP COUNTRY Of 2,500,000 Miles of Rural Roads in United States, but 12 Per Cent Has Been Improved.There are today some 2,500,000 miles of rural roads in the United States.Of this amount perhaps 12 per cent could be classified as improved, while only about one-quarter of 1 per cent can be said to be suitable for the car- rlage of heavy-duty motor trucks.And in the face of this condition it can be sald without contradiction that the future development of the United States rests upon the road.WHAT POOR ROADS INDICATE Generally Seen in Dull Neighborhood Where Houses Are Run Down and Everything Dead.Where one finds bad roads, he generally finds a dull, poor and thinly-set- tled neighborhood.The farmhouses are generally run down, the vehicles are shabby and everything shows that a dead community prevails, while on the other hand where good roads exist the farmer generally has some pride about himself, and tries to bring his business up to the standard of other conditions.GOOD ROADS BENEFIT FARM Bring Markets to Rural Sections and Make Possible Development of Productive Land.Good roads mean better and more productive farms, bringing markets to remote rural sections.By providing something which makes possible the development of farms we perform a service of fnestimable value to the country as a whole.Bonsters Now Amazed.Good roads boosters, who a few vears ago were puzzled to find some method of arousing public interest In bond issues for road improvements, are amazed at the ense with which appropriations are passed by city and states authorities.Poor Roads Isolate.Poor roads mean isolation, which in turn menns fewer possibilities for education, fewer opportunities for wealth, lower real estate valuations as well as increased costs of supplies, os od SOME PIGEON POINTERS It 1s never roo late té clean out and whitewash the lofts, Better put up a few new nest i$ boxes.Now.Careful attention to all details will assist you In bringing about the best results obtalnable, A good pigeon lice destroyer can be made from a tea of quas- | sia bark which Is placed in several pans about the lofts.Pigeons will not do well 1f you neglect your part of the duty, ush as proper feeding and watering, °° .Don't handle your birds while .nesting unless you want them to ,$ throw away their eggs.'

Russia Under That Form of Government Not of a Sort to Commend Themselves to Thinking Men.Article XXVII, By FRANK COMERFORD.Soviet government has been a costly experiment.Russia is almost succumbing to the treatment; notwithstanding the \u201cRed\u201d army Is meeting with success on the field, back of the army conditions in Russia are grow- lug from bad to worse.The soviet leaders are drunk with power and they have conducted themselves as drunken men generally do.Reckless waste, intolerant officlousness, greed for spoils, are the record they Lave made.The political machine is the same plundering graft organization under communism in Russia that It is under democracy In other countries.The soviet government is a political machine, and communism has not changed its character or its methods, It has simply given it larger opportunities for spoils.Greater security fn its corruption, , The \u2018Soclaldemocratin\u201d prints some Interesting extracts from the bolshevik budget for 1919.According to this newspaper, the revenue for the first half of 1919 amounted to 20,350,000.000 rubles, and the expenditures to 50,703,000,000 rubles, so that the deficit for the first six months of 1019 of soviet Russia amounted to the enormous sum of over | 30,000,000,000 rubles.The acquisition of foodstuffs and necessaries of life has cost a deficit of five billion rubles, and the railways four and a half billion rubles; thus a half year of bolshevik rule cost more than the total outlay on the whole war.Money Expended Recklesaly.The report of the bolshevik, Nemen- sky, on the audit of the central soviet commission in charge of all textile factories, appeared In the \u201cSovietskaya Ekonomicheskaya Zhizn\u201d of February 25, 1919: \u201cThe f.nance credit division of the central soviet commission received up to February 1, 1919, 3,400,- 000,000 rubles.There was no control of the expenditure of moneys.Money was advanced to factories immediately upon demand and there were cages when money was forwarded to factories which did not exist.From July 1 to December 31, 1918, the central soviet commission advanced on account of products, to be recelved, 1,848,619,000 rubles.The value of the goods securing these advances received up to January 1, 1019, was only 143,716,000 rubles.The negligent way of doing business may be pasticgiarly observed from the way the central s0- viet comission purchased supplies of raw wool.Up to January 1, 1819, only 129,803 poods of wool was acquired, whereas the annual requirement is figured at 8,500,000 poods, \u201cThe tremendous staff of officials (about 6,000 persons) employed by the commission are in the majority of cases doing nothing useful, It appears that there were on the payroll of this institution 125 persons who actually were not in the service at all, but who were receiving salaries.There were cases where the same persons received salaries twice for the same period.The efficiency of the officials is negligl- hle to a striking legree.\u201d Such soviet Institutions, Nemensky says at the end of his report, are a beautiful example of deadening bureaucracy and must be llguldated.It would seem that the idealists in charge of the communist program In Russia are experts in \u201cgraft-ring\u201d methods.Pawroll padding ls among thelr accomplishments.An Innocent bystander might suspect some of these soviet officlais of having a leaning toward private property, particularly when It is In easy reach.Their Own Condemnation.Probably it 1s fair to the bolsheviks to state their case in their own words.The bulletin of the central executive committee of the soviets, No.15, 1919, announces: \u201cWe have created extraordinary commissaries and extraordinary commissions without number.All of these are, to a lesser or greater degree, only mischlef-makers.\u201cThe tolling population see In the squandering of money right and left by the commissaries and in thelr indecent loudness and profanity during their trips through the district, the complete absence of party discipline.\u201d People\u2019s Commissar Lunacharsky, according to the \u201cSevernayna Com- muna\u201d of March 23, 1019, declared: \u201cThe upper stratum of the soviet rule is becoming detached from the masses, and the blunders of the communist workers are becoming more and more frequent.These latter, according to statements by workmen, treat the masses in a high-handed manner and are very generous with threats and | repressions.\u201d The soviet machine has had Its \u201crun in\u201d with the workers.The factory committees have been bulldozed.The soviets have been brutal In their treatment of the proletariat.will carry 12 to 18 hogs per acre.\u201cThe struggle between the soviets is an ordinary occurrence,\u201d according to the bolshevik newspaper \u201cEkon- omicheskuya Zhizn\u201d of April, 1019, Workers Denied Right to Strike.The soviets have the whip hand in thelr controversy with the workers; they are the government and the \u201cRed\u201d army backs thelr decrees.There Is a final court of settlement for all dis agreements between the soviets and the workers.It Is the \u201cwall\"\u2014and the firing squad.The right of strike Is denled the workers.Many of those who have dared to strike have paid for it with thelr livés.The workers are without recourse when commanded by thesoviet.Whether or not they were the slaves of the machines before communism came, It is certain that they are now the slaves of the soviets Even as slaves of the machines and the capitalists who owned the machines, they had the right to strike for their rights.The sovlets deprived them of this right, The bolshevik Sosnovsky, reporting on the condition in the Tver province, Ig the \u201cIzvestia\u201d of the provincial soviet March 9, 1919, wrote: \u201cThe local communist soviet workers behaved themselves, with rare exceptions, in a disgusting munner.Misuse of power is going on constantly.\u201d The conduct of the soviet commis.snries Is a general scandal In Russia.Their conduct Is described in No, 12, January 18, 1919, of the \u201cIzevestia\u201d of the provincial soviets: \u201cThe commis- sarles were going through the Tzar- itzin county in sumptuous cawriages, driven by three and often by six horses.A great array of adjutants and a large suite accompanled these commissaries, and an imposing number of trunks followed along.They made exorbitant demands upon the tolling population, coupled with assaults and brutality;.their way of squandering money right and left is particularly characteristic.In some houses the commissaries gambled away and spent on intoxicants large sums.The hard-working population looked upon these orgles as complete demoralization and failure of duty to the world revolution.\u201d These pen pictures of life in Russia | under the soviet regime are not fur | nished by the enemies of bolshevism; they are the complaints of holshevik leaders.Do we need a greater warn- Ing of the menace of bolshevism?(Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union) Reorganize Polish Police Force, The British police mission which went to Warsaw under the direction of Gen.Sir

complaint similar to shell-shock, Although god Is very scarce at present, à limited supply 1s available for medicinal purposes, The price for one injection of good quality gold sometimes reaches the fifty-pound mark, while in one or two exceptional carer gold injections have cost over a hundred pounds each, Consequently, only very rich persons can at present undergo this gold treatment, which has been successful In rescuing several cases of complete nervous breakdown.It should he remembered, however, that the gold itself is of no great value as a tonte.The idea In making the Injections is to liven up the patient and prevent him or her from brooding too serious- Ir.This done, doctors helieve that half the battle is won.Strange to say, {he {pjections are not made through the itsual type of syringe, but generally through a coul 1-shaped tube of pure platinum costing over twelve hundred dollars, Money.After having studied the careers of many of our richest men, and after having obtained from many of them an outpouring of thelr inmost thoughts, my conclusion about money Is this, says a writer in Forbes Magn- zine: \u201cMoney is a very desirable thing, even a Jot of it.Its possession enables one to do a great many things which are impossible If one lacks Ir.There is no such potent material instrument for enabling one to do worthy deeds in large numbers and on a large scale, Money.Indeed, 1s so de sirable, so useful, so rich In possibill- tles for worthy accomplishment, that one should exercise every honorable effort to acquire every dollar of it that one can earn, but there {s not enough money in the world to compensate one for turning even one sharp corner, for never have I known an instance of {ll- gotten money to have ylelded true happiness to possessor and his offspring.\u201d Bird Protection Important, Preserving birds as game Is only one part of the duty of the government, They are even more valuable as enemies of noxious weeds and Insects.They are the farmer's best friends, though he is too often oblivious of the fact, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.Those who care nothing for thelr beauty of plumage and song must recognize the cirumstance.Yet the hirds have heen too long the prey of their human hunters.Some species have been wellnigh exterminated In consequence.To protect them in the United States and Canada will accomplish much, though to make the protection of many of the migrants complete Mexico and Central American countries should join in the work.Seal Herds Increasing, The proteetive measure adopted by the government for the benefit of the seals In our waters has been entirely successful, as indicated by the great number of animais seen to be migrat- Ing to the Arctic sen.The migration was three weeks earlier than usual,

\u2018\u2018back up\u201d the County W.C.T.U.?In nine villages a small company of noble women are banded together to help the great cause for God and home and native land.They are striving to hold up the banner of total prohibition and stand steadfast.It has been many yeara since they organized and through thick and thin they bave \u2018kept at it,\u201d and will never give up until the liquor traffic is annihilated, root and branch.But the question is: What are the other women, the large majority, going to do about it?Are they not benifitted by that wbich has been achieved and are they not interested in the constant education and agitation which must be done, day in and day out.If so, why pot join hands and help Many efforts are being put forth at the present time, along different lines, to broaden the work.There are extra calls upon the time, energies and purse, or elee things will slacken.Every woman, especially every mother, in the county should look into these matters and decide what her duty is as regards the future.Every member should gird on the armor anew, and bring to bear every possible effort.The times call for it.During the vacation season throughout the county, while seemingly not much has been done, various activities have been set in motion, and now the fall days have come, the plans will be carried out?.Each Union has by now received the new yearly topical programs and literature, and the small sum due, together with delayed fees and advaace five.cent fee, as required by the Dominion, may be forwarded.The additional five cents for each member for 1919 will be met from the county fund, but is required for 1920 from each Union.It is not proposed to raise the yearly membership fee, but according to the nun,ber, the five-cents extra may be sent to the county treasurer from the local fund.Otherwise the county fund, ! always small, will not be sufficient to meet the county needs, since the Dominion fees have been raised.Each Union will receive a copy of \u201cA reference to the enforcement of the Canada Temperance Act in Stan- stead County,\u201d which will be of enlightenment, and set at rest uncertainties regarding the same.The provincial convention at Orme- town is near at band.All superintendents are reminded to forward reports on time.The Dominion convention meets at Windsor, Nova Scotia, around the middle of October, and our county should be considering sending a delegate, Who will represent us any better than our county president?Sisters, think it over.Faithfully yours, E.St.D., Co.Supt.Press.HEATHTON Our school will

has her own percentage rules whlch are as infallible, in the long run, as the dealer's margin at a Moute Curlo gambling resort.According to this inflexible law of averages, there ure about as many bull calves boru euch yeur us there are helfer calves, Every good dairyman Knows the value of a purebred sire of good record, nnd what such an animal may accotnplish in the way of limproving a grade or scrub herd.Despite thelr acknowledged value, It appears that 73,000 purebred bull calves of dairy breeds were killed for veal or were fattened for beef In 1918.A chart has been prepared hy the dairy division, Unlted States depart- tient of agriculture, which furnishes a graphic illustration of what happened to the purebred bull calves in 1918.The line representing purebred Her stelu-Friesian cows registered in 1 Grade Herd.rs WE ~~ .ny Farmers Are Urged to Conserve Thelr Purebred Bull Calves Wherever Practical Instead of Butchering Them.runs out to 80,000.The line for the bulls of thls breed registered during the same year extends only to 30,000, The difference, 50,000), represents the approximate number of bull calves not registered.Presumably most of them were elther venled or fattened ns steers, The Jersey breed in 1018 registered 80,000 cows and about 12,000 bulls\u2014a loss of 18,000 purebred sires, many of which might be more profitably employed In the work of Improving scrub herds.Guernsey and Ayrshire totals are less, but the percentage of loss fis heavy there also, In the face of this waste it Is estl- mated that five grades or scrub bulls are In use for every purebred bull, According to experts of the United States department of agriculture the replacement of scrub and grade hulls with good purebreds would quickly and materially raise the average pro- | duction of dalry herds, One of the reasons for the surprising situation outlined is probably an underdevel- ; oped system of distribution.see + THUNDERSTORMS SOUR MILK.Theory Held by Many People, but Au.* x, thorities Attribute Trouble to Other Causes, - Dee \u2014 The season for thunderstorms is at hand and a good many farmers\u2019 wives will be concerned about the souring of the milk, The theory Is held by a good many that thunder will sour the milk, but authorities say the souring should be attributed to other causes.They say that the souring is caused normally by the aeldity which results from bacterial growth and sterilized milk will not sour during a thunderstorm, Nelther will milk that Is kept en fee.The probable explanation les in the fact that during the storms of this kind the temperature fs raised sufficlentiy to faver the multiplication of the milk-seurling bucterla where the temperature is not regulated by the use of Ice, BENEFITS OF SILAGE ACIDS

primarily agricultural country, and cotton, the major crop.The other industries still awalt development.There is a tremendous fleld for the cultivation of vineyards and rice and other cereals, At the same time, the development of agriculture will greatly stimulate the sheep-ralsing industry, which Is now In the hands of primitive natives, uninstructed in modern methods.The fruit Industry awaits the guiding hand of modern sclence.With the help of California specialists, Turkestan could be transformed Into an enormous fruit garden.There is at present only one factory for fruit preserving.SImilarly, the fish teeming In the lakes and rivers Jieed only the introduction of modern industry to place them upon the food markets of the world.The silk industry, If properly organized, would easily become one of the most fmportant in the world.The mountains of Turkestan are rich in unexploited minerals.Gold, iron, copper, coal and many rare and preclous stones and metals awalt the pioneer.There is an old legend in Turkestan that the Eden of the first man was placed In the valley of Ferghana and that for his sin Allah laid a curse upon the country and transformed it into desert.T uickening touch of water restores Te dear LR Ta Pet.tility surpassing all legends.Who will build Eden anew?Domesday Book.Domesday Book, or Doomsday Book, ts the anclent record of the survey

every proprietor of land acd the extent of his possessions, All of England, except Northumberland.Durham, part of Cumberland and part of Westmoreland, was included in the survey.The Domesday Book was formerly kept In the chapter house of Westminster, but 1s now In the public record office.Taxes were levied by this book until 1522, when a more accurate survey was published at national cost in 1788, tn two follo volumes.Twe supplementary volumes were published in 1816.Where Life Is Longest.Which Is the healthiest place In the world?If the index is the death rate, as it presumably mst be, we have to go to the unlikely neighborhood of the antarctic to find It.In the last colonial \"report from the Falkland Islands the death rate for 1917 nnd 1918 was 5,81 per 1,000.During ten years the death rate In England and Wales did not drop below 13.8, and was as high as 17.0.Yet the climate of the Falkland 1s- lands !s vigorous and the country ls more bieak and barren than the Shetlands.High winds

surface under a red light, the percentage of black then being the same in both, Assigning the number 25 to red, such a composition as cln- nabar would be signified dy the figures 25 04 18, meaning red with 4 per cout of white and 18 per cent of black.THAT SOUND IN THE NIGHT Nothing So Very Terrible, but at Least Henry Found Out Just What Caused It.dire - It certainly was a strange sound\u2014 even

teach people to draw by touch.The pupil 1s blindfolded and feels a simple shape, like a hammer of u spade, and draws it with his eyes open.An advanced pupil has drawn the head of a classical bust and the mask of Beethoven.These experiments fired Mr.C.B.Ablett, the director of the society, with the Idea of drawing by the blind.He has devised a medium which looks like the frosted stuff on a matchbox made lHquid, by which the draughtsman can follow by touch what he has drawn and correct or add to his work, So far there have been no experiments with a blind pupil.Mr.Ablett does not claim for it more than that a blind man can draw the plan or a design of something he wishes to record and explain.A blind gardener has been known to go into ecstasles over the unfolding shapes of a plant, and the drawing of these shapes, known to him by touch would undoubtedly give him a form of esthetic pleasure.In any case, it would fncrease his means of communicating with the outslde world, A great boon, 1f the method Is practicable, would be that It would enable the blind to write and to read writ- Ing \u2014Manchester Guardian.: E 2\" mpâtt wie a Alrplanes Will Aid Mining.ft is predicted that the

been recently attracted by a report made by Doctor Lyon, supervisor of the mining stations for the United States bureau of mines.Ry this means a regular communication could be maintained with sections which are not to be renched by any ordinary means.It is also suggested that the same means might be of great value for getting rescue appnratus to the scene of mining disasters, Where Big Industry Began.standing at Eastport, Me., Is of interest by reason of {ts belng the starting place of the great Amerlean sardine industry.The experiment of converting the small herring into the canned sardine was tried out in this factory, built for that purpose by Jullus Wolff, a Rus- slan, and other New York promoters nearly forty years ago.At that time the picturesque weirs, In which the fish are seined, usually joined the fuc- tery property.From its birth, in this small factory, sardine canolng has developed to almost the chlef industry on the Maine const, employing thousands of skilled workers each season, and has placed Eastport on the map as one of the country.Locomotive Rolled Over.After a storm that buried the New England coast In snow last March, passengers on a railroad line through Rhode Island were amazed to observe a locomotive standing upright in a swampy brook that runs under the right of way at one point.The engine started out with a snowplow to clear the track, but jumped the ralls at the brook trestle, the plow going one way and Its motive power the other.Confronted, then, by the problem of removing the new obstruction, and not caring to devote three engines to getting one back on the track, the rail men cut the Gordian knot by roll ing the big locomotive down the embankment.Despite the slide and plunge, it finished right side up\u2014 Popular Mechanics

off a book himself, tells the story of how on one occasion when he was dining with an author and editor, the author suddenly called his attention to a man sitting alone In a far corner of the restaurant, \u2018\u2019That man,\u201d remarked the author, \u201chas character.He has a publisher from whom he can pever extract money.What do you think he did?\u201d Mr.Jenkins shook a dubious head.\u201cHe went to the publisher's office and demanded payment.There was nothing doing.Without ceremony he seized the publisher by the beard and announced his intention of hanging on until he got a check.He got bis money.\u201cThat,\u201d continued the author remorselessly, as he fixed a speculative eye upon Mr.Jenkins\u2019 clean-shaven chin, \u201cis why very few publishers wear beards.\u201d Weeds and Hay Fever, Interesting observations made by Dr.William Sheppegrell, president of the American Hay Fever Prevention association, are reported in a paper published by him.As a result of a weed-cutting campaign carried out in New Orleans in the spring of 1916 the number of hay fever cases was re duced to less than 50 per cent of the usual prevalence.The \u201ccold storage\u201d treatment of the disease, in which practically all ventilation 1s excluded D to jpsure the absence of at- oo 2 Mew is snid To afford only transient rellef, while the low temperature 1s likely to cause bronchitis.The effects of an abundant rain on hay fever patients is beneficial because the rain not only washes the pollen out of the air, but also permanently removes its toxic qualities, so that it Is harmless when agaln blown Into the air after the rain is over.This has been proved by laboratory experiments, in which pollen, after submersion in water, was Inhaled by hay fever subjects without any apparent effect.On Ogling Gift Horses.\u201cSometimes It may prove advantageous to look a gift horse in the mouth,\u201d remarked nn Australian contemporary recently, It was referring to the

Commissioner of Agriculture Orders Letter \u201cT\u201d Put on Affected Animals.By a recent order of the New York commissioner of agriculture, all practicing veterinarians In that state are required to brand cattle found hy them to be affected with tuberculosis.The order specifies that the brand shall be the letter \u201cT\" not less than 2 or more than 3 inches high and on the left jaw.The new regulation, which became effective In March, was Issued by Commissioner Charles S.Wilson under authority of the agricultural law.The order applies to all bovine animals within the limits of the stute.Veterinary experts of the United States department of agriculture conslder it will be of great vnlue to Hve-stock breeders of New York and also an important step for any state to take in the progress of tuberculosis eradication.Reactors are permanently marked by the branding process and in cases where they are not slaughtered the possibility of thelr being disposed of or losing their identity Is greatly {essened, If not entirely eliminated.RAISING SHEEP FOR MUTTON There Are Many Areas, Especially in Hilly Regions, Where Few Animals Could Be Kept.Sheep are not very generally kept on farms for supplying the home fam- {ly with meat.There are many areas, especlally In hilly ,or mountainous re- glons, where nearly every farm could keep a few mutton sheep to advantage, says the United States department of agriculture.Boys' and girls\u2019 clubs in some parts of the country have done much to foster home production of mutton.\u201cSheep naturally graze over rather wide areds and seek a variety of plants.This habit particularly adapts them to being kept in large numbers on lands of sparse vegetation or fur- unishing a varlety of grasses or other plants.They do better on short and fine grasses than on coarse or high They wlll eat a good deal of feed.Sheep Do Best on Fine Grasses, and Short orush and, if confined to small areas, will do a falr job at cleaning up land.When used in thls way, or on land producing brush only, they can not be expected to prove very satisfactory In the production of good lambs or good wool.\"\u2014Farmers\u2019 Bulletin 840.HOW HOG MANGE IS SPREAD Disease ls Contracted More Rapidly Among Animals of Low Vital.Ity\u2014Cure by Dipping.Hog mange Is spread mainly by direct bodily contact, according to Investigations recently conducted by the United States department of agrteul- ture.The disease is contracted most rapidly among hogs of low vitality, especially those kept in small Inclosures.It spreads more slowly among vigorous animals kept In pastures or in clean, well-lighted roomy pens or Dulldings.Fallure by swine owners to control hog mange results In heavy losses from shrinkage as well as from a high death rate, The department states that the disease can be eradl- cated by four dippings In a lime-sul- phur or arsenical solution with Intervals of 6 to 7 days between dip- pings.- IVES ANI OYEER Ho TNC

Englishman, Too.Writing about the jazz reminds me that the subject is of such Importance that a long cablegram was recently gin of the word.According to the cablegram, the secret is out, and it is an Englishman who gives us the valuable Information.He tells us that, while Englishmen should not be lield responsible for the vernacular of thelr brethren in the Western continent, the word jazz, he admits, 1s now as much a household word In England as In America.And then he goes on to say that the word came from the South and from the negroes.Now in the South, he tells us, there is a germ known as the hookworm, which affects all true southerners.Some unkind employers call it \u201cloafer-itis.\u201d The white employer, according to the erudite Englishman, In the South has many thousands of negroes working for him, and consequently many overseers, So, not being able to remember the names of all his foremen, he generally names each man Jasper, which, according to this Englishman, is a term of the highest esteem, Through the very human love of abbreviation, Jasper became \u201cJas,\u201d and as the overseer\u2019s principal means of getting work out of his underlings fs through harsh and abusive tongue, he was often requested to \u201cJass up\u201d the work, The Southern drawl makes \u201cJass\u201d sound like \u201cJazz\u201d And there we have the word Itself.And jazz

Early '50s Recalis the Hardships of the Pioneers, The hardships of ploneer life In Wisconsin during the early \u201850s are vividly portrayed by Dr.John C.Reeve, in an article entitled, \u201cA Physician in Pioneer Wisconsin,\u201d In the Wisconsin Magazine of History, published by the State Historical soclety.The difficulties involved in the practice of medicine in a country almost devoid of roads, and with only the necessaries of life, and with practically no money, are related by Doctor Reeve, who practiced in n small village In Dodge county.Of a journey made in January, 1852, he writes: \u201cCalled to Cleveland by the critical | Îfiness of a sister, I left home on a Sunday morning in a sleigh, a private conveyance, and reached Milwau- From there on runners to Chicago.Thence

farmers and from the parsonage itself that new preachers come, according to a survey now being taken by the Amerl- ean education department of the Inter- church World Movement.The farms lead.The survey shows that out of every thousand pupils who enter the first grade of our American schools, only 38 enter college and only 14 remain to complete the course.It is from these 14 that the churches recruit the great majority of their ministers.It Is also disclosed by the survey that it requires about 5.000 new men every year merely to replace the gaps in the ranks of the ministry at home.Possibly He Had, As 1 was passing a yard where some children were playing I saw a littie fellow fall from an high porch rail.He did not move for a minute so I ran to his assistance, but when 1

respects.It will throw a shell 35 miles, Poor Packing Causes Waste.Few persons considering the cost of living renlize that more than $700,000.- 000 is added to the cost of thelr food, clothing and other necessities cach year because of the waste caused by damage, unsclentitic loading and the tremendous cost of packing these commodities.The railroads and the shippers realize it, as shown by their conducting a campaign to reduce to the minimum the waste through damage, and to utilize to the utmost the capacity of frelght cars, which are hauled half empty.These are some of the items which enter into this waste estimate\u2014dam- age and theft, $100,000,000; wasted lumber used only once in packing cases, $240,000,000 ; empty car space, $200,000,000; and the staggering cost to the rallroads of hauling half empty cars more than 6,000,000,000 miles, $157,000,000, It is estimated that from 10 to 25 per cent of the cost of foodstuffs goes to pay for the crates which are thrown

furnaces and for other ordinary fuel purposes.One ton of soft coul in the process of coking yields about three gallons of oil first rate for motor fuel.At present prices the heat In the oll has 20 times the commercial value of the same amount of heat in the form of coal.Germany during part of the war was practically shut off from every supply of mineral oil.She depended for her motor fuel entirely on coal, putting the latter through by-product coking plants.Before long we shall be obliged to do the same thing in the United States, Part of the light ofl In coal is toluol, which In time of war Is needed for the manufacture of TNT.Modern warfare requires enormous quantities of the substance for making high-explosive shells, During the first part of the war the allles came near defeat for lack of It.Another by-product from the coking of one ton of soft coal is 5,000 cuble feet of gas, avallable for cooking and other household uses, The coke itself makes an admirable smokeless fuel

The worst thing that can happen to a man is to start life with influence.So declared Charles M.Schwab in a talk to Princeton students upon how to succeed in business, remarks Leslle\u2019s, Young fellows who excuse thelr fallure on the score of having no influential friend to give them a boost get cold comfort from Mr.Schwab, who has come up from the ranks, and who now goes so far as to advise any young man who has an influence not to use It to get a start.Mr, Schwab laid down as the first fundamental of a successful life, \u201cUnimpeachable integrity.\u201d Character is the biggest asset In business.A whole array of brilllant qualities will not take the pluce of this cornerstone of enduring success.The whole tenor of Mr.Schwab's heart-to-heart talk was a new emphasis on the old-fashioned qualities of loyalty, industry and persistence.The #oung man who possesses these tralts is bound to succeed, for opportunity was never so great as it Is today.No industry is more highly organized than the steel industry, yet with all the progress made in the last 20 years the industry Is far from Its zenlth.So great Is the magnitude of modern Industry In all branches that opportunities for leadership, instead of decreasing as some imagine, have actually Increased In proportion as Industry itself has grown.Big Trade In Old Papers.A curious item of commercial news Is that the east coust district of the Island of Sumatra in 1918 Imported 886,835 pounds of \u201csecond-hand newspapers\u201d from the United States, Imports of the same kind of merchandise from January 1 to September 1, of last.year, were 572,685 pounds, The papers are wanted to cover young sprouts of rubber trees and sugar cane, The climate of the island is very hot\u2014as might be surmised from the circumstance that the equator runs through the middle of it\u2014and, to prevent the sprouts burning up in the fierce sunshine, sheets of paper are spread over them.Old newspapers serve the purpose very well, each sheet being held down with stones at the corners.In Hawall the same method of protection is adopted, but in that archipelago sheets of rice paper, imported from Japan, are used.Evolution of Man Foreseen.In one of his recent lectures Sir Oll- ver Lodge, eminent English scientist, announced that the earth would probably continue to exist for 20,000,000 years more.These are, of course, round numbers.Some scientists estl- mate that the earth will live for ten times this age.There have been animals of one kind and another on this planet for fully this length of time.The dinosaurs are believed to have lived through some such period.The age of man, which Is probably only a few thousand years, seems the merest trifle by comparison.When we consider how man has developed during recorded history, which is less than ten thousand years, we may hope that he will evolve to nn infinitely finer type In the future.\u2014Boys' Life.Rhubarb, A certain East side man was cutting the dock weed fn his back yard with a scythe, and his eight-year-old son wns watching, reemingly engrossed In thought.Presently he asker: \u201cPapa, why does God make dockweed?' On recelving no satisfactory reply he set to thinking agnin, In a few minutes he looked up ngain with a smile all over his face.This was his explanation: \u201cIl bet God got mixed up when he was making things nnd thought this was rhubarb.\u201c\u2014Indianapolis News, WELL ON ROAD TO WEALTH Farmer Undoubtedly Has a Great Scheme Unless Some Indignant Motorist Should \u201cCatch On.\u201d Straight ahead lay a long, straight stretch of road, and the man at the wheel of the car settled down in hls seat, It was evident he was preparing for a sprint.But before he was well under way an honest-cyed old farmer stepped from the roadside toward him and held out a detaining hand.\u201cThowt mebber ye would he a-goin\u2019 to go full steam ahead.\u201d he remarked casually when the car slid to a standstill, The motorist nodded In reply.\u201cWell, Just tuke a look through these at that tree over the bend,\u201d went\u2019 on the farmer, producing an elderly pair of field glasses, \u201cand happen ye'll change your mind.\u201d \u201cGreat Scott!\u201d exclaimed the motor- Ist when the glasses disclosed a blue trousered figure perched on a branch In the tree.\u201cI say, thanks most awfully!\u201d There was the sound of coin clinking on coin and then the motor went sedately down the road at about six miles an hour.And at the beginning of the clear stretch of rondway the honest-eyed farmer was counting his cash, \u201cThe idea o' carting the old scarecrow from the orchard and perching it in that \u2018ere tree works out pretty well!\" he chuckled as he heard another car approaching.\u2014London Tit- Bits, MUSIC IN COST OF LIVING Inhabitants of Densely Populated Flats in New York City Begin to Take Alarm.Opening windows on the first warm days of the year bring a warning that this will probably be the most musical season New York has ever seen, says the Evening Star of that city.The apartment-house court has always been cosmopolitan in its musical tastes and prone to prodigality in its volume of more or less musical sounds In summer, and this time it appears that not only are all the young men home from the army but that the high cost of everything has also made the apartments tore densely Inhabited and more continuously so than ever before.The magnets are lacking that once drew folk away from home in the evening, Beer Is negligible as a corner attraction.The movies are more expensive und more tiresome.Soda bears a war tax pald by the dispenser and also charged to the consumer.Home has hecome a worked in an attempt to relleve Its tedium, This season we have with us, appar- entily, not only the phonoegraph and the player piano\u2014those resources of the musical and unmusical alike\u2014but there ls also an apparent return of the child who practices on the plano.lluminated Traffic Cop.With a view to solving the difficulties that beset motorists and traffic officers on Boston streets after night.full the officers of the First motor corps are conducting experiments throughout the city to make a traffic handler visible to drivers as well as to pedestrians.An experiment demonstrated that with the help of three light bulbs, which burn continuously, white bands crossed\u201d on his breast and long white gauntlets, a traffic officer can be seen by motorists even at the busiest and darkest of corners.\u201cOne of the lights is placed on the traffic guard's hat and the other two on his shoulders.They are fed by batteries in the pocket of his overcoat.Both red and white lights have been tried.So far the red lights seem to be more satisfactory.\u2014Boston Globe.Portable Town Given France.Many an American tourlst will be surprised this summer to find just outside the war-torn city of Lens, France, a quaint Dutch village.The stranger will learn that the village Is a gift from the people of Holland to the returning citizens of Lens.The houses, all of wood and of an Ingenious, knockdown construction, are now awaltjng shipment from the Netherlands, where the parts were sawed and fitted.As sembhled, they will shelter In comfort 500 refugees.When all the dwellings are occupied, the Dutch government will send landscape gardeners to lay out flower beds and shrubbery In harmony with the buildings.\u2014Popular Mechanics Magazine.Plane Lands on Street.Thousands of spectators lined the curbs of a husiness thoroughfare in Oakland, Cal, some weeks ago as a result of the announcement that an airplane was to land and take off from the street, On schedule time the plane appeared overhead, glided down between the walls of the man-made canyon and touched the pavement, Skidding here oh the slippery asphalt, the plane grazed a lamp-post, swerved to the curb and damaged its tall skid, The accldent was trivial, but served as a warning to the authorities, who promptly forbade the take-off.\u2014Popu.lar Mechantes Magazine.Need of a Backyard.\u201cWe simply must have n house with a hackynrd.\u201d
