The Dean of Gloucester (Dr. SPENCE
claims to have discovered that the actual
remains Of Osric, king Of Northumbria,
who was buried A. D. 729, lie beneath the
beautiful shrine erected to his memory
which stands on the right hand of the high
altar in the choir Of Gloucester cathedral
This shrine is the work of Abbot Malvern,
the last abbot of Gloucester, in the days Of
Henry VIII, and it has been generally sup
posed to be merely memorial-simply a
cenotaph or empty tomb. According to
an account Of the discovery two panels
were taken out Of the stone loculus, and a
long leaden coffin was discovered, lying eX-
aetly beneath the kings efigy. The con
tents Of the coffin disclosed the remains Of
a very ancient interment. Much of the
cement which had once fastened down the
stone efIigy of Osric had fallen into the end
Of the coffin, broken by the weight Of the
superintendent figure, and few small
bones were discovered mingled with the
cement.
No attempt was made to discover royal
insignia or fragments of yesture, and the
remains were left untouched. DR.. Spence
claims that by this search be has verified
beyond all doubt the statement OF Leland
in 1901 concerning the translation of the
remains of the royal founder Of Gloucester
cathedral, and that the beautiful tomb
known as 0sric's tomb is no mere monu-
ment raised in pious memory Of the king,
but is the actual resting place Of the
founders remains.-London Globe.

In Scotland it was formerly the custom
to observe fast day as sacredly as the
Sabbath. The fast preceded by two or
three days the Sunday assigned for the
semiannual administration Of the sacra-
ment. Each county held its sacrament
day, and therefore its fast day, at different
dates from those of the adjoining county,
so that ministers could get each others
help in the long and laborious service.
A minister in Forfarshire happened to be
out walking on one Of these holy fast days,
AS he passed low wall, which separates
at that point Perthshire from Forfarshire,
his meditations were disturbed by strains
Of secular music. Going in the direction Of
the profane sound he discovered a small
boy seated on the other side of the wall
mending his fishing rod and whistling
"Iullochgorum," a rollicking, feet stirring
Ecotch air.

Professor Snow, of Kansas, who has
been long time experimenting, claims,
and other entomologists believe, that
the devastation of crops by the chinch
bug will soon be thing of the past.
Professor Snow believes that the bug
may be exterminated by the spreading
among the species of a deadly infectious
disease, which he compares with the
cholera among human beings. The dis
ease producing organism is a fungus
parasite Of which three varieties have
been found. In order to kill all the bugs
within a considerable area it is only
necessary, according to the authority
quoted, to introduce a few diseased
bugs. Within four days of infection the
bugs cease work and in eight days are
dead. Professor Snow will soon publish
a definite report of the results of his in
designations, the practical portions Of
which will be made known to the farm
ers throughout the country by means Of
bulletins and newspaper accounts.

Gentleman correspondent, when l had
no help but a boy, had to do all the

rome for the horse to step on while l
pulled in the fork that it was worse
than pitching by hand. then built

swing under the purlin girts and plates,
with rollers for the ropes to run on that
went from the end of the crane, over the
top, down into the basement on drum,
then up to a snatch block on the big
door post to hitch the horse to; then l
had three parallel sticks on each side Of
my cart or wagon, with ropes running
through them crOsswise to spread them
apart. These sticks were laid on the
rigging, three on a side, with toggle
Joint between them.
These were loaded on or under the
load. When in the barn the ropes with
hooks on were let down from overhead
and hooked to the ropes brought together
over the load-the horse hitched on the
rope from the drum in the basement.
When the load was raised clear of the
wagon a pitchfork would swing it over
the snow where wanted, small cord
would snatch open the toggle joint I'M
and the hay would drop out;
then then weight of the sticks would
bring them down an the wagon again.

Seated upon high piano stool, over the
edge of which her tiny feet scarcely show

sweet music to a large gathering Of musi
clans and music loving people last evening
The programme was composed of selec
tions from Mozart, Beethoven and many
other famous old masters, and these she
performed in a manner which was marvel
Gus, considering her age. In addition to
being an infant pianiste, she is also com

her own composition, a birthday greeting
and an impromptu.
Elsa was born in 1885 at 1910 Cottage

her parents. Her gift is Inherited, as her
ancestors on both sides Of the family have

Her father is a violinist Of more than ordi

A wealthy Girls Singular Addiction.


Fifty-six thousand dollars for medical
fee That is the amount that Miss Pauline
Hoeml, a young German woman living on
Olive street, St. Louis, and her guardians
have agreed to pay DR.. William Bradley if
he cures her of a little mental trouble
which has bothered her since her child
hood. The eOntla acts have been made out
and rs soon as Miss Hoeml is pronounced
sound in mind by referees, who have been
appointed, DR.. Bradley win receive his
$4,000.
Miss Hoeml is the only American heir to
a fortune of upward of a million dollars,
left by her father in Berlin, Germany. She
IS also a descendant of a noble family of
the German empire. The fortune was de-
vised by will to the children Of Herr Hoeml
and other relatives, a codicil providing that
Miss Hoemls portion should remain intact
until such time as the trustees of the prop
erty should consider her recovered from her
mental troubles. Should she never be
mentally sound, the codicil reads, then her
share shall be equally divided at her death
among the surviving heirs.
The will also provides that while I'M
sound in mind Miss Hoeml is to receive
only SO a month, the balance of the in
terest to be annually added to the estate.
Miss HoemPs portion now amounts to
sl6s, 900. The young woman's trouble is
simply that she has made no mental adj
vancement since she was ten years old, and
her mind is sometimes overcome by n cloud
that shuts off the past. Shortly after her
fathers death Miss Hoeml and her widow
ed mother moved to America, where the
latter became the wife of well known st.
Louisian. Since their arrival in America
the friends of the girl have made vigorous
efforts to have her cured, but so far have
met with Indifferent success.
After examining the young lady DR..
Bradley said he could cure her, whereupon
the mother exclaimed that her daughter
would gladly give a third of her fortune if
she could have the cloud, which she ap-
parently knows hangs over her mind, re

For long preservation the lime and
salt sSlution, if kept in a cool place, is
the best formula for the purpose. For
large quantities the usual proportions
observed are: Sixty-6ve gallons of water,
one bushel good, unslacked lime and
eight quarts salt. Slack the lime in a
portion of the water and then add the
balance and the salt. Stir well and skim
off until it is clear. In this pickle keep
the eggs completely immersed by
weighing them down. When the eggs
have been filled in spread cloth over
them and lay on it three or four inches
of the lime remaining after ii has been
Stacked, keeping all under the brine. For
small quantities use the materials in
about the same proportions, keep in a
cool place and use only fresh eggs.
The American Agriculturist suggests
for the lime solution twenty pounds of
fresh lime and one pound Of salt to
twenty gallons Of water; this amount
will cover half a barrel of eggs. The
best time to pack eggs is in March,
April or May, and again in the months
of September, October and November
Eggs stored away dry in salt or other
wise, if placed with the small ends
downward, will keep, longer than when
they are laid without any regard to
their position. Large quantities of eggs
are now successfully kept in cold stor-
age without any other preserving pro

A CLEAN, CO8TFORTABLE METHOD OF STA

floor, which will be seen just forward OF
the hind feet Of the standing COW, the
animal has always a dry, clean bed to
lie in, thus keeping her as clean from
manure in winter as though she was IN
a June pasture. 8. BY this system
each COW is protected when lying down
from having her teats and udder stepped
on by her standing neighbor. This Is
one Of the most productive sources OF IN
Jury that is known, and Of itself should
condemn the rigid stanchion.
The cut represents one row OF COWS
fseing another row. A closely boarded
Partition about four feet high forms the
ff5nssys. the stall. Each COW haS~o15
feet in widtIi., The floor is mad2 tight
and there is no dropi+ss2 rear OF COWS, ex-
cent the thickness of one prank which is
the double floor Of the stall. The feed
ing rack is constructed for two purposes:
/. To contain any hay or roughage that
may be fed the COW. Theslats are put on
wide enough so the COW can easily get
her nose between them. 2. To force
the COW when standing to stand with
her hind feet in rear Of the crossbar
across the stall floor. In constructing
the feeding rack nail a 2 by piece Of
scantling edgewise against the board
partition. This constitutes the bottom
of the rack and should be placed about
two feet from the floor. Place the top
scantling about two feet from the par
tition. This makes the feeding rack
eight inches wide at bottom and wofeet
wide at top. In the centero Of the bottom
scantling fasten ring screw to tie the
halter to. Fasten the COW with common
web halter, she wearing the headpiece
all the time; the halter end of the rope
has a safety snap to fasten into the ring
of the halter under the throat To pre-
vent the cow from getting loose it is
well to divide the end of the rope into
two strands six inches long and put a
snap in each, fastening both in the ring
when tying the COW.
The grain and ensilage box is placed
on that side of the stall opposite to the
one the COW usually lies on. If she lies
on her left side place the grain box on
the right side. In placing the bar across
the stall hing the cows head squarely
mp against the feeding rack; then just
forward Of her hind feet nail down a
2 by 8 scantling. Fill the space forward

The clover hay worm is frequently re-
ported from Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and
the more southern states. The eggs are
laid by small moth in stacks Of hay.
These worms hatch from the eggs and
feed upon the dry hay, Transforming to
moths again in June or July. New hay
ought never to be stacked in contact
with old, and the worst infected stacks
are those which have been placed upon
the same sites for successive years.
When practicable it is well to build the
stack on good rail ventilators with an air
passage underneath. 1t is also well to
ssltthe hay two or three feet from the
