Three Ynlu.hle Dogs Poisoned.

Mr.. Washington Nailor, liveryman,
possesses five imported dogs three of which
were poisoned by unknown parties yesterday
morning, Mr., Nailor has allowed the dogs to
run in the public park opposite his stables
every morning, and yesterday, in company
with friend, he walked over to the park af-
ter the dogs and stood watching them. He
observed that three Of them held meat in
their mouths jumped over tho fence and tried
TO take the meat from them, but before he
could do 50 the dogs had deyoured it. Tho
three dogs died shortly after with all the
symptoms of poisoning. Mr.. Nailor obtained
piece of tho meat, there being five chunks
in the park, and found that tho two remain
ing pieces contained strychnino. The other
two dogs did not eat tho meat and are alive
Mr.. Nailor cannot assign any motive for the
crime, but thinks that the meat was placed in
the park to kill his dogs, The park is fro
Quented by children from the neighborhood,
and If the meat had not been discovered there
would probably have been loss Of life. The
poisoned dogs were Of the beagle hound

Character nj Hmm.

Home life Is the sure test of char
acter Let husband grow cross and
surly, and the wife grows cold and I'm
amiable. The children grow up saucy
and savage as young bears. The
father becomes callous, peevish, hard,
n kind of two-legged brute with clothes
on. The wife brstlcs in self-defensc.
They develop an unnatural growth and
sharpness of teeth, and the house Is
haunted by ugliness and domestic
brawlS. This is not what the family
circle should be, If one must be rude
to any, let it be to some one he does
not love, not to his wife, brother, or
parent. Let one of the loved ones be
taken away, and memory recalls IA
thousand sayings to regret. Death
quickens recollection painfully. The
grave cannot hide the white faces of
those who sleep. The coffin and green
ground are cruel magnets. They draw
us further than we would go. They
force us to remember. A man never
sees SO far into human life as when he
looks over wife's or a mothers
grave. His eyes get wondrous clear
then, and he sees, as never before,
what it is to love and be loved what
it is to iniure the feelings of the loved.
1t is apitiable picture of human weak
ness when those we love best are
treated worst

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

Germany has at present over $50
schools of agriculture, viniculture, etc.
Each of these has farms, gardens, ETC.,
attached.
1t appears that the leaf of plant
can be transformed into useful work
as much as forty per cent. of the solar
energy it receives and absorbs.
Quinine and chincona have proved
fatal to rabbits, guinea-pigs and dogs
when administered in certain guam
titles under the skin. A dose of two
grains proved enough to kill a dog
which weighed IL kilos.
NJ. Herve Mangon calls attention to
the ease with which the EGGPLANT can
be cultivated on a large scale as a
source of potash. According to him,
the fresh plant contains about half of
one per cent of potash.
The greatest heat of the air in
the sun probably never exceeds
l45 degrees, nor the greatest cold
65 degrees below zero. About 1870 de-
grees above and 40 degrees below zero
are the extremes for the United States
and very unusual.
Professor Proctor reasons that the
moon has grown old six times as fast
as the earth, comparison of the
masses and radiating surfaces of the
two bodies, making it evident that
the earth's internal heat was origin
ally sufficient to last six times as long
as the moons supply. On the very
moderate assumption, therefore, that
only twelve millions of years have
passed since the earth and the moon
were at the same stage of planetary
life, this astronomer shows us that
sixty millions of years must elapse
before the earth will have reached
the stage of life through which the
moon is now passing.

How TO Graft Grape Vines.

An agricultural paper says: We de-
sire to have new varieties of grapes
come quickly into bearing but vines
from nurseries are frequently tardy
Even after carefully nursing they will
often droop and die, while few buds
cut off on arrival and properly grated
may produce fruit in a short time.
Grafting on cut off, underground,
gnarly stumps Of vines, as usually
practiced, is very uncertain at best.
Dur method is to take good strong
branch or cane of vine,or even a whole
young vine when change of fruit is
desired, and whip the graft in the usual
way. We then cover up the vine in
the soil as near the roots as possible
leaving above ground only a bud or
two of the graft 1t is well-known
how quickly layer will make bear
Ing vine, as it has the advantage of
The parent roots as well as the roots it
produces. The layer may be extended,
If long enough, to grow where the
vine is to remain, Vineyards may in
his way be quickly changed to better
varieties.

Working the Butter.

Butter may be spoiled in working it.
The object in working the butter is to
remove the buttermilk, work in the
salt, and form it into solid mass.
After the butter has come in the
churn and before it has been gathered
INTO mass, it is well to drain off the
buttermilk, add clear cold water rinse
Il about, and add more water till it
passes off clear, and the butter is quite
free from the milk. 1t is then to be
.emoved from the churn and sailed,
usually at the rate of about one ounce
Of salt to the pound of butter. The
butter should be marked with ladle
Dr. butter marker, and not be touched
with the hands. When it has been
worked till the salt is pretty evenly
distributed, set it aside to stand for
swenty-four hours or less. 1t will
ihen appear streaky, and is to be
worked over till it becomes free from
the streaks, and is even in color
throughout The first working re-
auires about ten minutes for a churn-
Ing of twenty to twenty-five pounds,
and the second working about ifteen
minutes. The making of good butter
is fine art of itself, but when this art
has once been acquired, it is an accom-
plishment of which no one need be
ashamed.

To keep off the excessive heat (

A Canadian writes home to the To-
ronto Mail, that he saw the Prince and
Princess of Wales at Nottingham the
other day. "The prince" he says,
"struck me as being an exceedingly
handsome man, slightly bald, but with
u splendid sparkling eye, good healthy
color and handsome and well
trimmed glossy beard he looks the
very picture of manly health. lie is
so like his portraits that even one who
had never seen him before could have
no difficulty in picking him out in a
crowd. He looked every inch aprince,
and jolly good fellow. The princess
is said to be the handsomest lady in
England OF course as to this ! can

action that charming sweetness of
manner which has made her name
by-word in this country for all that is
good and womanly. The princes
eldest son and the three daughters are
all bright-eyed and healthy-looking
and I thought to myself that unless
some dreadful calamity befel the royal
family, there would not for a long time
exist any necessity, as was done on
former occasion, to send out of the
country for heirs to the British

Bcgonias in summer should have a
cool, shaded situation. The best plan
we have ever seen adopted was small
lattice house, made entirely out of
laths placed half an inch apart, sides
and top alike; benches were arranged
on either side, the same as in an Or
binary greenhouse; upon these the
plants were placed, and all the inter
stices filed with sphagnum. There
the plants thrived most luXuriantly;
we have never seen greenhouse plants
in summer look better, If as well. Not
only was this the congenial home of
the begonia, but all kinds of ferns,
coleus, and many other plants, grown
expressly for exhibition purposes,
were here to be seen in the best posi-
BILE condition. This was the work of
an amateur, and when his plants were
placed beside those of the professional
florist, the latter was completely used
up.-AmeTcon CUltirator.

"A correspondent of the Buffalo Com
mercidl relates an instance when the
great Niagara ceased to flow, and de-
scribes remarkable discoveries in the
dry channel, as follows:
In the spring of 1910, think it was
at all events it was about that date
the people on the banks of the Mag
ara were surprised to see the water
rapidly receding from the shore 1t
continued to fall until there was absO-
lutely no water flowing through the
rapids, except small stream in the
very middle of the river bed. Asa
matter of course SO strange a circum-
stance gave rise to no end of specula-
ton, and attracted people to the river
from far and near. | have forgotten
now just how long the water ceased to
flow, but it must have been for nearly
a day. What was done while the river
bed was dry could not have been ac-
complished short of several hours. and
l distinctly remember that hundreds of
people spent most of the day in explor-
ing the bottom. For some reason the
impression prevailed upon people in
Chippewa, that in the river channel
was Il spring similar to the burning
spring on the shore near the head Of
the rapids. Search was instituted,
and sure enough gas well of large
proportions was discovered quite
distance out IN the channel directly OPP
posite the mouth of Chippewa creek.
The thought occurred to somebody
that it would be a good idea, now
that the river was dry, to attach
tube to the well and keep the gas
burning. Accordingly number of
men repaired to the foundry in the
village and there found a large iron
kettle such as is used in boiling down
sap. They drilled hole in the bot.
tom, put thread in it, fitted piece
of tubing to it, and carted the two
down to the gas well in the river chan
mel. The kettle was turned bottom
side up over the well, the tube insert
ed in the bottom, and glass lamp put
on the top, the idea being to have a
sort of natural beacon light. But the
flow of gas was so strong that when a
match was applied the lamp was blown
into fragments. The gas, however,
continued to burn from the end of the
tube, making brilliant light at night,
for long time afterwards and until
the tube was carried away by ice,

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.


The crusted substance which grows
upon fowls legs and forms thick scales
is caused by the work of small mite, a
scab-mite, which burrows under the
scales and causes an eilusion of watery
matter, which dries and hardens, and
forms scabs. In time these scabs fall off
and new scales appear. But sometimes
the legs become so diseased as to pre-
vent the fowl from moving. The rem
edy is to wash the legs with warm
water in which some soap and kero-
Nene oil have been beaten up; then
thoroughly work in under the scales
with a brush a mixture of equal parts
Of sweet oil and kerosene oil.

Originated in the Crusades.

Coats of arms took their rise from
the knights who were engaged in the

different devices in order to distinguish
one from another. The Crusades also
