SMOKING WHILE AT WORK:

The only advantage that can be alleged
In favor OF smoking at any time is that il
produces mild narcotism which is sooth.
ing to some people, and perhaps adds to
the sense of relaxation during a peroid
of rest. Most of its disadvantages we
have often recapitulated. Besides its in
trnslc harnfulness, the habit is open to
special objection when practiced during
working hours, and to this point both
employers and employed would do well
to give more consideration than appears
commonly to be accorded. There are
three good reason why workmen should
not smoke while at work, namel y, it re-
duces the physical energy by the very
sense of relaxation which it imparts: Il
often causes the smoker to stop work
altogether until his pipe is out; and it is
dangerous. We do not believe that any
man can properly see what he is about
with a cloud of hot smoke and gas rising
into his eyes, neither can he bestow his
full attention on what he has to do, when
the pipe must be kept going at the same
time. 1t may be said that even if he
stops tor few putfs no harm will be
done. Perhaps not SO far as one man is
concerned, but If all the men in large
concern stop for puffs, the aggregate
sum OF the stoppages will amount to con-
siderable time lost. A correspondent
writes US to say that he recently timed
the smokes taken in day by twelve
painters, who were engaged
on a job requiring especial haste. The
total number of minutes footed up over a
quarter of days work, and the employer
soon discovered that he could not afford
any snch loss, and promptly forbade the
practice. Not long ago we saw carpen-
ters smoking in an unfinished house
while putting in the woodwork. The
floors were Uttered with shavings, and
large quantities of other combustible
matter were lying about. The accidental
dropping of a few sparks from one of the
pipes might easily have determined a
serious contiagration. If smoking must
be practiced, 1t is much better to confine
the indulgence to otf-work hours.

The value of thorough practical knowl-

In the United States is already very large

is not only u social advantage, but a busi-

IL may not be improper for me to state,
that large experience in Universities, both
Teacher and Visitor, enables me TO speak
on this subject with confidence. The method
ofteaching the language by means OF the

FARM NOTES.

Books and papers form as much a
part of farmers working tools as do
the pillow, the shovel and hoe The far
mer who attempts to use the latter
without the assistance of the former
does an cup hill business which near
ly always ends in failure and poverty
1t is said that when the flowers of
chickweed expand fully there need be
no fear of rain for several hours. Should
it continue in that condition, no rain
will disturb the summer day. When it
half cOnceals It's miniature flower, the
day is sure to be showery, and if it en-
tirely shuts up, or walls the white flower
with its green mantle, let the traveller
put on his great coat.
Bone meal and crushed shells NAV be
used generously in feeding fowls. That
is, if the crushed oyster shells and gran
ulated bones are mixed and placed in a
box inside the hen house, where the
birds can have access to these articles
freely, they will eat of them no more
than they need. If these are mixed
with the food given, either with the dry
grains or in the soft mash, much of both
is wasted; to say nothing of the addi-
tlonal trouble caused in preparing it
thus. Fowls devour no more of the
oyster shell particles than they natural
ly require to assist digestion and to help
forming the shells of eggs. Ofpounded
bones they will eat no more; but if both
are left where they can always get them
handy, they will not eat too much of
either for their good.-PouHry World.
Calves or sleeps lights and hvers
which can be obtained in the market

able to feed poultry for two reasons.
They are devoid of bones and they close

cooking of any scrt of meat food, always.
These harslets +" Tor those of swine)
should be boiled, seasoned with salt and
pepper, and fed, say twice week, to
fowls, where they can be had handily.

ter, this change of food from constant
grain feeding is excellent. For young
stock, where the chickens are confined

He was q peaceable-looking man,
with a quiet-looking horse attached to
an unattractive sleigh, with unostenta-
tious bells. He wore undermined
hat, and a shad-bellied coat as he drove
easily down the South Easton hill, jour
neying from Bucks county to the land
of Northampton. He was observ ed by
fellow of the species trough" whom
much loafng had made impudent, and
who lifted up his yawp:
S-a-a-Y, hat, where are you going
with that man? ?"
"Verily, journey beyond the river,

land thither goeth my hat ALSO"
"Hold up! and take fellow along,

"Nay, friend my business and incli-
nation forbids it."
"I'll soon fix that" and the fool ran
forward and jumped on the runner.
Verify, friend if thee insists upon
getting into my vehicle | will even help
thee" and the man of peace reached
out q right hand as resistless as an oys-
ter-dredge. 1t caught the youth around
the throat worse than four-years-old
diphtheria, jeIked him into the sleigh,
and slammed him down among the
straw, where he got tramped upon by
pair Of No. 13 cOwhides until he thought
he had got caught in shower of pile
drivers. Finally he got kick that lift
ed him clear over the side Of the sleigh.
and he ran his head into the bank by
the roadside, where he dwindled down
in heap like gum shoe discouraged
by a street car, and murmured, as he
rubbed his insanguined nose in the
snow:

Decoration for Women.
All the Year Round.

One Of the best-known distinctions for
ladies is that of the Order of Louisa of
Prussia, decoration created by the
father Of the present Emperor of and
many, IN memory OF his gifted Ger
high spirited Queen-she who faced
Napoleon before the treaty of Tilsit, and
experienced rough treatment at his
hands. 1t was originally decoration
for services rendered by women in hos
pitfalls and otherwise to the wounded
and sick military in the war OF 1913 and
1914. No quarterings are necessary to
qualify for this decoration. Prussia
has a second feminine decoration. At
the close of the Franco-German war
the Emperor added a female branch to
the Cross of Merit-a distinction at one
time purely military, but now, like the
Order of the Bath, both civil and mill
tary. Another order of recent growth
is that of Sdonia of Saxony, founded
in 1871. The Order of the Wendish
Crown = Mecklenburg Schwerin and
Strelitz-is partially epicene; that is to
say, the grand cross is given to ladies.

A Chinese He'll.

A traveller thus describes a represen-
tation Of the punishment Of the wicked
after death, according to the Buddhist
theory, which he witnessed in the sub
urbs of Canton: "After walk Of about
q mile, we came to the Temple of Hor-
rors.' This is horrible place-that is,
the scenes are hideous The intention
is to represent what q bad man would
suffer after death. 1t is composed of
ten different groups of statuary, made
Of clay, and many Of them are crumb-
ling to pieces. The first group repre-
sents the trial of the man; he is sur
rounded by his family and friends, who
are trying to defend him; the second,
where he is condemned and given over
to the executioner; in the third he is
undergoing semi-transformation from
the man to the brute; the fourth, where
he is put into a mill, with his head down
wards. and is being ground up; his dog
is by the side of the mill licking up his
blood In the fifth scene he is being
placed between two boards, and is being
sawed down lengthwise; sixth, he is I'M
der a large bell, which is rung until the,
conclusion kills him; seventh, the man
is placed upon a table, and two men are,
padding or spanking him with large
wooded paddles; eighth, he is upon
rack, and the executioners are tearing
his flesh with red-hot pincers; ninth, he
is in a cauldron of boiling lead; the
tenth scene represents him upon grid
iron. undergoing the process Of roasting
In all these scenes his family are pres
ent; also large figures, who represent
the judge, executioners, little devils and
various instrument of torture"

Niagara River.

The Niagara Falls Gazette Of last week
has the following: The water in the
river reached remarkably low mark
last Thursday. AS near as could be as
certained without actual measurement,
the river below the falls reached a level
about eighteen feet below the average
summer level. The writer walked on
dry sand where, in the summer season,
from off the upper rocks" anglers are
wont to fish for bass and ees. Above
the falls the river presented very I'M
usual appearance. Many rocks usually
hidden from view rose black and naked
from the rapids, and here and there a
dry reef told yet palmer of the dimin-
ished supply of water from the lake.
No water ran between Goat Island and
the First Sister Island, and but slight
stream. meandered through the other
two channels. During the day blind
ing snow storm ragged, covering the
ground with the heaviest fall of snow of
the season. During the night the wind
changed, and by morning the river had
reached its usual level again.

An Alaskan Romance.

A young man WI was in Alaska
some four years ago fell in love with the
only young lady on the island, girl of
fifteen, who was possessed Of eXtraordi-
nary beauty, and whose hair fell below
her knees. But he was unable to COM
municate the old, old story to her, for
she did not understand word Of Eng
fish, nor did he speak Russian. In his
dilemma the arrival Of the priest on his
once-in-two-years' visit was godsend,
and to him he made known his love.
The priest, knowing the young man to
be possessed Of a high character and a
fair fortune, thought it was a lucky
chance for the young lady to escape
from life Of such isolation, and he viii
lingly persuaded the girls mother cher
father was dead to consent to the match
but the young lady herself was not to
be persuaded. She argued that she had
never spoken to the young man who
expressed such desire to be her hus-
band, had only seen him twice, and he
had been on the island only forty eight
days; but her objections were overruled
and the marriage took place. After
living in Alaska for several months, the
young man brought his bride to his
nome in Cleveland She was astonish-
ed at the fashions she saw, and declared
that nothing would induce her to wear
her hair otherwise than fowing-as she
had always worn it. But before twen-
ty-four hours had passed her mother
in-law had persuaded her to try the
effect Of braids around her broad and
shapely head, and now she dresses as
much In the fashions as any lady in
Cleveland. Last year her husband
went to Alaska again and brought home
the young sister, who is eleven years of
age, and promises to be as beautiful as
the elder. The mother, bereft of both
her children, still clings to her home on
one of the islands of Alaska.
