The original Autograph love letters
of John Keats, which are about to be
sold, comprise tbirty-fve epis,les of frcm
one to three pages each, They are said
to preaent complete picture, if painful,
of the unfortunate poets mind during
the last two years Of his lie The c,m-
parisop between the Rrst of the series,
written at ShNnklin, Isle Wight, in the
summer Of 1919, and the last. snditod on
the eve of his departure from london
for Rome. Is singularly striking. The
former is foh of hope, while the other
seems to have been written in despair, its
concluding sentences beings "The world
is too brutal for Ipe. I am glad there is
such thing rs the grave, am sure
shall never have any rest till | get there.
! wish was either in your arms full of
faith, or that q thuuderbolt would strike

TelegrapllerS' PARALYSIS.

Telegraphers' paralysis is an ailment
the most dreaded of all by telegraph
ers. 1t comes on very suddenly some
times. On the night of the election.
when the returns came pouring in,
one of the best men in the New York
Office was struck and compelled to give
up. There is hardly an operator of
any experience in that city that has
not had a touch of it. Many telegraph
ers, after serving for years, are forced
to throw up their positions on account
OF this form of paralysis. Apart from
the evil effects, physically speaking,
arising from the ailment, operators
trace many mistakes they make in
sending messages, to the same source.
The slightest pressure on the kew will
oftimes produce other than the letter
the operator wishes to indicate. Mis-.
takes are often the cause of much an.
noyance, and frequently loss, in Pc
cuniary way, as many operators can
attest to their sorrow, as they are held
responsible for mistakes. When an
operator is attacked he soon finds that
MS Keen sense of touch has disappear.

One experienced in the management
OF horses tells us that any colt may be
taught to be fast walker by little
continued care in handling. A fast
walk in horse is the most valuable
gait that training can acquire. 1t is
valuable in pillow horse, in team
horse, and particularly so in driving
horse. Some horses will trot along very
well until they come to ascending
ground, when you wish to relieve him
by letting him walk up grade. lie then
TAILS into slow, lazy walk, that is
very trying to the drivers patience,
but a well-trained walker will step off
brlskly at the rate of four miles an
hour, and the driver feels that he has
been detained but very little by letting
MS horse walk up the hill as he starts
Off at his usual trotting speed, being
relieved by the change of walking up
the hill. Colts should be trained to
walk last before there is an ATTEMPT
made to improve them in any other
gait. This may be accomplished by
commencing very young and leading
at a walk by your side, urging adj
dltlonal speed little by little without
letting it break into trot; but this
must not be continued long at time,
SO as to weary or tire. One or two
short lessons a day will soon show a
wonderful improvement, but after
lessons will be required to prevent a
relapse.

A Hen browns n Kat.

Mr.. Stirling is the possessor of re-
markable hen, and relates the following
Incident in the life of that sagacious
fowl: She brought up brood of chick.
ems recently, which event created con.
siderable excitement and festivity In o
colony of rats. which at once commenced
asystem of plumber, contenting them,
selves with chick and half for dinnef
daily. The hen stood this massacre OF
innocents for day or two, but one
morning as sleek rat, grown insolent
from living high on toothsome chicks,
skulked along in the neighborhood of d
chicken which was tri1ing carelessly
with crust of bread, the wrath of the
mother was aroused. She flew at the
rat pounced on him, caught him by the
back, and carrying the robber TO a tub.
full of water, dropped him into it with
revengeful "cluck." The rat was
drowned, and the hen has since been FREQ
from the raids of the surviving rodents.

1t would be an excellent plan for
the farmer to devote small space for
the purpose of testing varieties of
vegetables next season. True, there
are experimental farms, upon which
tests are made of the terminating
power of seeds, duration of growth,
and productiveness, but there is no
system so good as actual tests on the
farm itself. The farm upon which
the farmer resides is familiar to him.
lie knows every foot of it, what it has
done in the past and what it should
do, but yet the benefit to be derived
by setting apart a small space for ex-
perlmenting would be invaluable.
There is nothing like experience,
says the farmer, but ex-
pertinent on the farm is experience,
and adds that much more to the
farmers stock of knowledge. 1t is
only by trials under his own cbserva-
ton that the farmer can be induced to
venture away from the beaten paths
and adopt newer methods. The plan
is becoming favorite one with adj
vanced farmers. The expense it but
little and it pays WELL 1t pays be-
cause it corrects mistakes, thereby
enabling the experience of one season
to be the guide for the succeeding
one.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
A Queens Annual hath.

A remarkable and interesting cere
mony, which is fully described in tn,
Madagascar Times was performed al
Antananarivo. 1t was the Fandry.
ana, or Festival of the Bath. This
ceremonial always takes place on the
Malagassy new year. The Queen was
carried into this hall in a palanquin
BORNE by four officers, and when she
had taken her seat on the throne the
choir sang hymn. A large earthen
jar filled with hot water having been
conveyed to the adjacent apartment,
the Queen retired, and after her bath
she returned and resumed her seat.
The Malagassy mobiles then filed, three
at a time, before the throne, after
which Vice Consul Pickersgill, on be-
half of the foreign community, made
q congratulatory address to her Males
ty. Subsequently the guests were all
served with refreshments, which chief
ly consisted of rice mixed with honey,
called "sosoa." -London NeaoS.
