There were perhaps a half dozen papers rep

out OF place for them to adopt a constitution,

subject to revision at the Peoples Party con

that scrpents had as many ribs as there

A Pet Turtle.

In the town of Patten, Me-, place
distant from tide. water over ninety
miles, there is a great curiosity, known
as the "turtle's nest" For fiIty-two
years a turtle has come annually to the
nest to deposit her eggs. Over half
century ago she selected her nest, tnen
in an open field, but now in a yard in
front Of residence. A relative OF the
owner of the house branded the date,
1871, upon the turtles back and it can
be plainly traced now. She comes
about the same date each year, and her first
few days are passed in inspecting the
ancient nest, the yard and surroundings.
Later she digs hole in the ground aud
there deposits her eggs, but as many
were carried away aud the others often
disturbed, only about a dozen of
the eggs Matched out. The owner of
the house has ten of the little turtles,
none more than twice the size Of pos
tage stamp. The old turtle always
departs after laying the eggs, the warm
sand and sun serving as an incubator.
This turtle has been seen at the Drew
Deadwater, on the Matawamkesg River,
fully fifty miles away from the nest.
Her weight varies from thirty to thirty
five pounds, and it is said she was large
when branded as she is now. Each
June she comes to Patten and is always
welcomed by old and young. st. Loui

A Heavy N tai.

Tungsten is n metal belonging to a rare
group that, until recently, was little
known outside OF chemical laboratories
It's practical value has been discovered
but lately, when experiment proved that
a small proportion of it mixed with steel
made composition of extraordinary
elastic properties, especially suitable for
the lining of very heavy guns, which are
subjected to so enormous a strain in fir
ing that steel lining is soon fractured and
spoilt. The German gun factories abb
sorb most Of the tungsten found IN the
world, and from being a mere curiosity
seen only in the laboratory of the chem
ist this rare metal has acquired considera-
bile value. Wolfram generally OCCURS in
combination with iron in Europe, but it
is also found in sheelite, or tungstate OF
lime. 1t is in the latter form that it &C.
ours in Otago. The metal itself is of
white color, extremely brittle aud heavy,
the specific gravity being 19.1, that OF
gold being 1913. 1t will thus be seen
that tungsten is very heavy metal, be.
ing only very slightly lighter than gold.

A Remarkable Bear Story.

A Honesdale PENN letter to the
New York Sun says Mart Kimble, one
of the famous Kimbe family Of hunters,
has Just returned from weeks hunt
with Nose Westbrook at Blooming
Grove, down in Pike County, with the
oueerest bear story told in Pike or
Wayne Counties for many day.
One morning during his weeks hunt,
Mart says it was very foggy, and nc had
taken an early start to get to a runway
where he expected to knock over deer
He could not see more than twenty feet
ahead of him, and suddenly out Of the
fog loomed the dim form of big bear.
Bruin had his fore feet planted on log,
over which he was peering through the
haze. Mart looked twice to make sure
of his game, and then blazed away. The
smoke from his gun deepened the fog,
and when it cleared away the hunter was
more than little surprised to see the
bear still in statuesque pose on the log
and still peering out into the fog bank.
Mart pulled up and gave the bear his
second barrel, and when the agitated fog
settled again the hunter was almost
knocked off his feet by the sight of the
bear standing as before.
Mart is not in the habit Of shooting
more than once when he fires to bring
down bird or beast and the persistence
or this Pike County bear in standing
there as if nothing had happened was so
UNUSUAL that Mart half made up his mind
that he had been wasting his powder on
a bears ghost. He determined to make
another shot, and if that failed to
tumble the bear, to leave those woods
on the double quick. So he blazed away
again. When he looked ahead after the
third shot the boar was not to be seen.
Mart walked up to the log, and, peep.
ing over it, discovered the mystery OF
what he thought had been two ineffective
shots. Instead of one bear, three dead
bears lay stretched out behind the log.
Mart explains the presence of three bears
on the theory that they were coming
through the woods in single file. As
the first bear fell dead at Kimble's frs;
shot, the bear behind him took his place
at the log, and was in turn succeeded
by the third bear.
"'If there had been another bear to get
upon that log after 1 shot the third
time" said Mart, ~ would have dug for
home the next minute, and I'd have be-
lieved to my dying day that had been
shooting at spook bear"

Ali ihe Clocks stopped Together.

For long time past most Of the
public clocks 10 Paris, as well as the
timepieces in banks, hotels, clubs and in
many private houses, have been kept
going by means of pneumatic power
supplied from a central station, aud to
supply them with the necessary com
pressed air, a network Of pipes has been
laid beneath the city streets. Owing
recently to one of these pipes being
broken during the operation of taking
up portion OF the roadway, all the
clocks upon the pneunltic system, ID
the number Of ten thousand, suddenly
stopped, to the great inconvenience OF
the business portion of the community.
1t was impossible to remedy the mischief
at once, and the easiest plan WAS found
q he to start the clocks once more at
city twelve hours after the accident,
thus obviating the necessity of altering
the hands of each individual clock

YARN AND HOUSEHOLD.
LEG WEAKNESS In CHICKENS.


Leg weakness and vertigo are both
usually caused by high feeding with
grain alone. Young chickens especially
should have some animal food with their
grain, and if they are not allowed to run
out where they can get 1t in the form of
insects and worms, they should be fed
some chopped lean meat at least
once day. In feeding grain
no one kind should be fed
alone, for fowls need a mixture, like
corn, rye, wheat, millet and rice. Change
the food of the chickens, or mix several
kinds together, and to those that are
sick give two or three grains daily of
ammonia-citrate of iron dissolved in their
drinking water. But do not neglect to
give some animal food. Get beef or
beeves' hearts or hvers and cook, then
chop up fine and throw it out to your
chickens. A small quantity, say half
ounce, to each chicken daily will be suf-
ficient.-Nsl0 York Sun.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES,

1t is not good plan to have the
poultry house near the barn.
Send layers to roost with their crops
full to carry them over night.
Do not give layers soft feed enough to
gorge them or make them lazy.
One advantage with the incubator
chicken is that lice are more easily kept
down.
Buy breeding fowls in the fall; they
will be in a better condition to use in the
spring.
1t is considered that young fowls
mated bring males and older fowls
females.
Wheat, oats and braa are good egg
producing poultry feed to give at this
season.
All varieties of plants that do not
stand test are simply weeds in the way
of others.
Destroy all weeds and keep the ground
clean around your house and outside
buildings.
Give meat to the fowls iu regular sup
ply, warm mess in morning and regular
supply of grit, gravel, etc.
The prize for the best 10O-acre farm
or less in England was won by farmer
who farms eighty-one acres Of grass land,
forty-one acres being in pasture. He
keeps ifty-two cows, and spent $4,000
FOR extra food for his stock each year.
1t does not pay to feed good food to
poor stock. An experienced dairyman
makes use Of the remark that he cannot
afford to feed 500 worth OF grain to a
calf worth only fifty cents, and the ex-
preston applies in other directions on the
farm.
Farmers should rigidly guard their
hogs against disease by procuring any
new stock required only after inspecting
the herds from which they desire to Sc
lect. Never buy from neighborhood
in which disease is known to exist or re

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Fish may be scaled easier by first Dip
ping them into boiling water for a

Milk which has changed may be
rendered fit for use again by stirring in a
little soda.
A tablespoonful of turpentine boiled
with your white clothes will aid the
whitening process.
One teaspoonful of ammonia to tea
cupful of water applied with rag will
clean silver or gold jewelry.
Kerosene will soften boots and shoes
that have been hardened by water, and
render them pliable as new.
wetting the hair thoroughly once or
twice with solution of salt aud water
will keep it from falling out.
Clear boiling water will remove tea
stains; pour the water through the stain
and thus prevent it spreading.
Paint stains that are dry aud old may
be removed from cotton or wooden goods
with chloroform. First cover the spot
with olive oil or butter.
A teaspOonful of borax put into the
last water in which clothes are rinscd
will whiten them surprisingly. Pound
the borax so it will dissolve easily.
Charcoal is recommended as an abb

An Effect of smokeless Powder.

judging by the observations Of an
English officer who attended the late
French military maneuvers, the use of
smokeless powder is likely to have pc
culiar effect on the morale of soldiers in
battle. He says that again and again he
found himself in position where he
could hear volley after yolley, field guns,
too, sometimes being fired, so far as
sound could indicate, within 800 yards,
and yet after gazing inteutly for minutes
he tried in vain to discover the where
