-BoYs will be ROYs."

The number of devils iuhabiting the
average Louisville small-boy has never
appeared in print but there arc a good
many of them. The Louisville SMALL
boy hurls pieces Of rock, chunks of hard
earth. and b-ickbats, with vigor, and he
keeps at il long time A poor, half
starved goat, or a wandering chicken, or
the tin guttering on an exposed house, is
his favorite target, but he is also pleased
at the sound of a clod Of earth breaking
against the side Of a building. He con-
ceals himself in alleys and behind fences
and watches with interest the effect of
the shower Of missiles which he and his
crowd have precipi,ated into the neigh
boring yards. He likes to knock off a
board wherever he can, rs high fences
are not always pleasant to climb, and
they obstruct his uiosg IIe-eum hit u
person on the street from n great dis
lance, and can enjoy the scene that en-
sues. He is not afraid of policeman,
because if he we're 10 be arrested, wouldn't
people say its a shame TO arrest child

The Value Of Money.

The island Of Manhattan, on which
New York City now stands, was bought
by the Dutch from the Indians in 1926
for the triHing sum Of s25. The assessed
value Of the island in 1872 is about $780,
100000, the real value is not less than
81, 600, 100000, and may be even double
this. OF course it will be said that the
Dutch made a good investment Of their
s25, and no doubt they did. But if that
S25 had been put out on interest at
ten per cent. on the LIST Of October, 1926,
and the interest annually invested at ten
per cent. also, the product on the first of
October, 1872, would have been S2G,
$50, l79, 9G2-or more than twenty-six
thousand millions. This is more than
thirty times as great as the assessed val
Ne of property in New York, and nearly
AS great as the estimated value Of all the
the property in the United States.

shelter for Stock.

The fall rains are beginning to descend.
The autumns wind are moaning among
the trees. The cold, stormy nights are
close at hand. The bitter, freezing
weather of winter is approaching, The
ground is becoming bleak and bare, and
but little vegetation is Left to support an
imal lite. Has the kind hearted farmer
made provision for the poor animals he
owns? Has he done anything to shield
them from pitiless storms, the relentless
blasts, the cutting winds Of winter? Has
he comfortable stables, or cheap sheds,
or good wind-breaks, to shield and pro-
tect them, and thus save feed as well as
suferingY Shelter is food. An animal
well housed will keep fat on less than
half the food it would require if left ex-
posed to the weather. Shelter is the best
economy. Provide it m some form at

rsu weather and warns Blood.


We should never allow ourselves to
forget that nature intended us for warm
bloodod animals. In this climate ofsur-
prisinr changes, we are very apt to for

Al such seasons, when we freeze and sim

in ~ certain recklessness, which takes
no heed Of cold or heat, dampnoss or dry
ness. and receives all temperature with
the same front, generally a defenceless
one. Il Is certainly very troublesome to
change front asoflen as the weather, and
there is a prejudice in American minds
against such change, which has great
deal to do with the rapidly increasing
population Of our graveyard People
like to have some stability Of purpose,
and IL they can have it in nothing else
they will have it in their dress. They
will not make a change until they make
permanent one for the season. No
matter how hot it is in the Spring, they
will wear spring clothes until summer,
and no matter how cool it may be in Au-
gust, summer clothes must he worn until
fall shall actually set in. Thus of-times
suddenly and with sad results we find
approaching the condition Of
the fishes and lizar,ls,-for the chill, that
alert forerunner of disease, ia ready, in
our country, TO take advantage Of cir
oumstances.
We suppose that there are no people
in the worldso indifferent to the demands
Of the weather especially cool weather.

that very many Of US are ashamed to

Obtaining Wafer ITOn Ocean
Depths.

Anappaatus for Obtaining water from
the depths Of the ocean has been invented
in Germany. An open vessel is lowered
by means of rope and weights until the
desired depth has been reached. Then
uu electric currents transmitted through
an accompanying wire which, by inducing
another cuTrom in an electro magnet in
an apparatus attached to the vessel, re,
leases spring which turns stopcocks, and
the water Of the depth is cncloed. Sew
eral most interesting experiments for the
determination of the amount of carbonic
acid in deep sea water have been made
by means Of this invention.

unsophisticated journalists, he ought to be dis
