The manistee is a fish of the size of the

Florida. 1t is sightless, but acute of hearing.

enemy at distance of mile or more and

it is highly priced as food, and occasionally

and Mobile, but is seldom found in this local.
ity. The flesh is coarse and much resembles
beef, though retaining the fshy flavor.
Scientists have never been able to discover
the origin of the fish, but incline to the belief
that it rises from some subterranean stream
or lake and has increased and multiplied in
the Manistee river, but, owing to its lack Of
sight, it has not been able to make its way
into other bodies of water, where it might
be ropagated-Chicago Journal.

The American Notes and Queries has
long paper in its last issue which discusses
the superstition of the horseshoe. 1t SAYS:
line belief In the horseshoe attained its
greatest diffusion at the end of the last cen
fury and the beginning of this. Aubrey. in
his Miscellanies,' tells us that in his time
most houses IN the west end of London had a
horseshoe nailed over the threshold. In 1913
\ or henry Ellis counted seventeen horseshoes
/ IN Monmouth street, but in 1871 only five or
FIX remained. Lord Nelson nailed a horse

VI James attributed the success of his fever
powders to the finding of a horseshoe, which
Esymbol he adopted as a crest for his car.

SKILLED LABOR IN FARMING.

An Indiana Congressman has pro
posed a curious and somewhat cranky
law to make the price of all unskilled
labor the same per day, no matter
where or how employed. 1t would be
exceedingly hard to decide what labor
would come under the term of
skilled" Mechanics after serving an
apprenticeship have no difficulty in de.
ciding that their labor is skilled. In
any branch of manufacturing the deft-
ness that enables the worker'to make
the most of his muscle counts for more
than mere strength. But is it not true
in even the simplest forms of labor z
John l.. Sullivan has perhaps muscle
enough for anything, but it is not
trained for digging aiditch ora postl
hole, Many a man much weaker than
he could beat him at this work. When
more distinctly farm labor is required
the demand, for skill 'increases, The
man who can NOW may not be able to
excel in swinging the cradle, and
neither Of them may be able to work
effectively at binding grain. It is the
extent and variety Of muscle as we'll
of thought called into play by the
farmers occupation that make him,Tn
successful, not merely a skilled laborer,
but a good thinker on a great variety
of subjects. 1t is thus that the farm

well as new work constantly claim his

THE PESTS.

Rats and mice are among the most
vexatious and destructive of all enc.
mics that beset the farmer, and care
less people who leave little in old build
ings in which they cal shelter and
breed are guilty of a serious nuisance.
The best checks upon them are metal
and neatness-the former to come be-
tween them and all crib, granary and
~feed-room, stores and the latter which
prevents their. finding anything capa-
BILE lying about. Dogs and cats trained
to hunt them soon make their quar-
tels too uncomfortable and they sud
denly vamouse to other safer places,
where food is not so shut up. They
cannot endure copperas, and are said
to leave when it is strewedI about, put
in their holes, or used in the white
wash.-NeW York Tribune.
