Scientific Scintil0tiOns.

\ corossal steam boiler recently built al
Wiesenthal, in the grand Duchy of Baden,
is believed to be the largest in the world.
1t weighs forty tons, and the builder cele.
lrated the completion of it in manner at
once odd and becoming. He gave his
workmen lunch in its very bowels. Gov
ers were spread upon table for thirty per-
sons, and racks for crockery and things to
eat were put up along the sides. It was
with the utmost ease that the men got
into the Dining hall, since they we're
obliged to slip through an opening in the
top three feet square.
A map has been discovered at Lyons,
France, by an English antiquarian, bearing
the date 1914, with the name America
printed on it, This is probably the earliest
map that gives that name to the newly dis
covered continent.
It is asserted that the contents of the
800 tanks in the oil regions of this country
would fill Il square reservoir having side

the recently constructed iron tanks have a
capacity of IS 600 barrels.

The Farm Horse for the Farmer.

The great excitement over the fast run
ming and fast trotting horses should not de-
ceive the farmer as to the kind Of horse that
is most profitable on the farm. The farmer
who knows and acts up to his own interests,
wants none of your flyers to draw his pillow,
to run his reaper and mower, or to freight
his wheat or hay or other produce to mar
ket. While the millionaire can support a
2:l2 1-2 trotting horse to amuse his leisure
hours with or to put in the hands of q
jockey to win more with on the race track
me farmer wants horse adapted to the
work Of the farm, and in raising colts or
buying them should never lose sight of this
fact. Neither is the heavy draft horse the
horse best adapted to the use of the farm
er. close-built, medium sized, easily
kept horse-one that has u quick step, a
gentle disposition and good degree of in .
telllgence and can be adapted to all pur-
poses is the farmers horse. The Morgan
breed of horses, crossed with almost any
other blood, has always proved q cross in
the right direction for the farmer. Per-
haps at the present time the Percheron
horses are among the best horses known
for crossing with other breeds to mako
good farm horses. The Percherons are
larger horses than the old Morgans, but

good qualities of the original Morgan, ex-
cept that they have not quite so great speed.
The farmers horse is not the popular horse
at the agricultural fairs. The horse that
fills the eyes OF the millions at these fairs is
the very horse that is in no one sense adapt
ed for the farm or agricultural purposes.
This is simply one fact among the many
that show that agricultural fairs. so called.
are not turned so much to the ADVANTAGE nj
farmers as to that of other classes. Farmers
should not be misled by the eclat that fast
horses create. The popularity of the fast
horse, to great extent, comes from the
mysteries and fascination of the pool-box.
The fast horse has his place and his purpose
as we'll as the farm horse, and he should be
admired and improved to the better fill that
place and purpose-the road and speed
just as the farm horse should be improved
to till his place before the pillow, reaper and
mower and farmers road and freight wag-
on. But let not the pool box lead the farm
ers astray III the selection of the horse for
his farm.

A Spartan Bride in the West.
From the Chicago Tribune

From the chicago Tribune.
A young man and his sister were hired to
teach school in Clay county, Kentucky,
in partnership, the young lady to teach the
first half Of the school and her brother the
other. Very soon after the young lady be-
gan teaching one of her largest male stu
dents became her fellow" and in IL very
short time they were married. Not long,
however, after they were married the young
groom and another one of the brides stu
dents engaged in a little knock. down. "
Each of the offenders were brought before
the fair disciple of the rod, was given an
impartial trial and the young groom was
proven to be equally guilty with the other,
and was given his choice of leaving the
school or taking whipping. He chose the
latter; SO his newly made bride did herself
fair justice in the use OF the rod. gave her
husband not a few stripes and cutting the
blood out in not a few places. Since then
everything has passed off pleasantly.

Hang up the baby's stocking,

And I'm sure she understands it.
She looks 30 funny and wise.
Dear! what tiny stocking!
1t doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toes ss baby's
Away from the frost and cold,
But when for the baby's Christmas
It will never do at all,
Why Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half 80 small!
know now what well do for baby.
I've thought Of the very best plan,
III borrow stocking OF grandma
The longest that ever can;..
And you'll haEgit by mine dear mother
Right here in the corner, so,
And write letter to Santa
And fasten it on to the toe.
Write; '"This is the baby's stocking,
That hangs in the corner here,
You never have seen her, Santa,
For she only came this year;
But she's just the blessedest baby!
And now, before you 60,
Just cram her stocking with goodies
From the top clean down to the toe.

OUR BABY.

Two little shoes,
Out at the toes,
Trotting about
Where'er mother goes;
Soiled gingham dress,
Put on just how
They do get go dirty,
No one knows how;
Little black face,
Black each wee hand
Been making mul pies,
And playing in sand.
Dear, precious head,
Tousled and rough;
Bright, laughing eyes,
Can't see enough;
This is our baby
All day.
Two little feet,
Rosy and bare;
Two chubby hands,
Folded in prayer;
Tired little head,
Dark-riuSed with hair;
Soft baby-face,
Dimpled and fair;
Par blue eyes,
Heavy with sleep;
Silvery- sweet voice,
DISQUALIFICATION, us keep;"
This is our baby
At night.
