Many readers are familiar with Walls extra
ordinary feat, in 1919, driving q swarm OF bees
across the plains. A day or two since, as one
OF our business men was coming down town,
he happened to discover huge bee quietly
resting on Walls shoulder as preparations
were being made forsprinkling the court house
lawn. Say, Wall, what are you doing with
that bee on your shoulder.
Wall was startled at first, but, recovering
his usual composure spoke with gravity, carry

Remarkable Rescues by st. Bernard
Dogs. r....

London Times.
1t is only within the last few days
that particulars have been published
in the Swiss papers Of brave rescue
effected on Mont st. Bernard on the
night Of the last Sunday in Novem-

was in progress, Grand, the manager
Of the hoepice, noticed that his own
special dog that was alone with him
In his room became very restless, and
made signs to him to 60 out. He
took the lantern and fog horn and
went out on the mountain, the dog
leading him. In very short time
he heard q call and grooming, and,
helped by the dog, dug ont Of the
snow an Italian, whom he carried on
his back into the hospice. The res
cued man stated that his father, tvs
brothers and another Italian, all jour.
neying home with him over the pass,
lay buried in the snow. He had
pushed on to obtain help, but had
been coverpowered by the storm.
Grand made ready and went out
again. This second search was more
tedious and led him further sway but
at last the barking ola dog announc-
ed a discovery. II was the italian
stranger who was now saved and car.

1t was now past midnight, and his

It should be bornein mind By every

poor stationery stands in a bad
light to those he addresses himself to.

Many Of our best farmers have
arrived at the conclusion that poultry
raising Is the most profitable thing
they can engage In. Ofthe egg alone
the London Standard, after stating Of
what II is composed, mentions the
various purposes for which 1t Is
used.
Every element, the writer says,
that Is necessary to the support Of
man is contained within the limits Of
an egg shell, In the best proportions
and in the most palatable form.
Plain boiled, they are wholesome.
The masters Of French cookery,
however, affirm that it Is easy to
dress them in more than 500 different
ways, each method not only economi-
cal, but salutary In the highest
degree. No honest appetite ever yet
rejected an egg in some guise. 1t Is
nutriment in the most portable form
and in the most concentrated shape.
Whole nations of mankind rarely
touch any other animal food. Kings
eat them plain as readily as do the
humble tradesman. Far more than
fish--for it Is watery diet-eggs are
the scholars fare. They contain
phosphorus, which Is brain food, and
sulphur, which performs a variety OF
functions in the economy. And
they are the best of nutriment for
children, for, in a Compact form they
contain everything that Is necessary
for the growth of the youthful frame.
Eggs are, however, not only food
they are medicine also. The white
is the most efficacious of remedies for
burns, and the oil extractable from
the yelk is regarded by the Russians
as an almost miraculous salve fol-
cuts, bruises, and scratches. a
A raw egg, il swallowed in time,
will effectually detach a fish bone
fastened in the throat, and the white
of two eggs will render the deadly
corrosive sublimate as harmless as q
dose Of calomel. They strengthen
the consumptive, invigorate the
feeble, and render the most suscepti'

naturally am looking for the best ma

On one occasion I repaired roof
which had been shingled upwards of
twenty-one years with hemlock shin

ton then. with few exceptions. The
stock used was selected from "old
growth" with all sap and shake thrown
out. On exposed parts of the building
many of the butts were worn very
thin, while under the lap they were
as sound as the day they were put on.
More care should be taken in the
construction as well as in the stock
used when putting up a building.

of SO many leaky roofs. More care
should be exercised in the selection of
