Jonah and the Whale.

There is nothing in the original texts
of the Bible TO show that the creature
which we are told swallowed. Jonah
was really the same animal we call a
"whale' in this day and age Of the
world. The word translated into
both the septuagint and the New
Testament by the Greek "Katos"
means simply a sea monster, and this
word was the one used by our Lord
IN his reference to the account OF
Jonah'sexplojt. Matthew xii, 29-41
So far, therefore, as the Hebrew or
Greek words are concerned, tie

A Remarkable Railroad.

Taken altogether the Russian Trans.
caspian railway is one of the engineer
ing wonders "of this, the iron-bound
century" At first it was considered
impossible to maintain aroad through
the shifting sands OF the Kara Kun
desert, but Gen. AnnenkoG, who was
Superintendent of Construction over
came what was supposed to be an in
surmountable obstacle by covering
his railroad with clay and planting
the sides with thickets of desert
plants and shrubs. But when this
had been done and the boarded as
sured, a cry went up to the effect that
the scheme would have to be aband-
oned because there was neither fuel
nor water along the line. The dough-
ty General solved the water problem
by bringing water in pipes from the
mountains, and his cousin construct
ed a locomotive which used petroluem
for fuel. But yet there was another
great obstacle in the way, the classic
Oxus, which would have to be crossed
with a bridge 1000 feet longer than
the Brooklyn wonder. This difficulty
was finally overcome, and the road is
now in active operation.

Had a Bilious Feeling.

In a restaurant down in McLeans-
boro the other night, says the Mount
Carmel, Ill. Register, a party OF young
fellows were sitting and standing
around the stove waiting for the mid
night Louisville & Nashville train to
come in. One of the gang had been
out the night before with his best girl
and was exceedingly sleepy. Stretch
ing himself in the chair he was soon in
the land of Nod, the upper half of his
head unhinged and thrown back, and
his mouth so wide open that it re-
sembled the entrance to the Patton
tunnel. The boys gazed on him in
silence for few moments; then one
of them slipped out to q drug store,
from which he soon returned with q
small pill of asafetida, which he deity
placed upon the sleeper's tongue. The
warmth OF the mouth dissolved
the drug in q few seconds and the
snorer awoke, stretching, gaping, and
yawning like a Cherry Grove darby
with premonitionof Patoka creek

"darned if l amt as bilious as

Iowa Homestead: The Homestead has
repeatedly referred to the benefits to be de-
rived from combining poultry culture with
other farm work and now wishes to note q
lew plans as adopted by some people who
are making a success of it. The writer
knows Of number of butter and gg farms
places where the great laying strains of
fowls are kept for eggs for table use only
and the finest butter COWS furnish a superior
quality OF golden butter. BY good housing
and proper feeding and caring stock on
this farm are in profit just at the time when
prices are worth working for. Another
farm makes the growing of milk and broil-
ers its exclusive business, and to accomplish
the most OF it the heavy milking breeds of
COWS are kept, and in the poultry stock
such crosses as will grow plump chicks the
quickest are resorted to. Either of these
larins are worth patterning after, as both
have a good income and produce an article
always salable.
Still another farm is devoted to the rails
ing of eggs and small fruit. No broilers or
roasting fowls claim the farmers attention,
but instead the hens are kept busy ''shell-
ing" out eggs in the fall, winter and early
spring, up until the strawberry crop is
ready 1or shipment, when they are gradu-
ally allowed to take their needed rest.
This farm raises nearly all the small fruits
and does more cash business ably than
the average farmer 0: four times the amount
ofland and Investment. And still another
raises broilers, roasters, eggs, onions and
lima beans-the two articles of vegetables
being in great demand at his nearest
market
These illustrations go to show that what
the Homestead has said upon the
subject OF poultry as an adjunct is of merit
or the combination inferred to would not
be made. zone hand washes another" In
case of half crop of one or even a failure
the other is ready to help out. Combine
poultry with just what your nearest mar
ket pays we'll or, and especially with what
will not n eed much winter care, and you
are on the ri, hit road to good income.

Remarks About skirts,

Not only cotton gowns but those oflight-
weight wool and silk have the gathered
skirt. The gathers spread the train more
gracefully than pleats. Short skirts for
street wear are hoped for in the autumn.
In the meantime, when wearing q trained
dress where it must be lifted, women should
give just little at entioh TO the manner of
lifting the train. Notwithstanding all the
ridicule bestowed upon them, women as q
rule continue to merit the fun made OF them
by carrying the train in such clumsy
fashion as might be expected of pIowboy
Rules for train-litting are as plentiful as
complexion recipes and about as helpful,

draping there is only one injunction that it
is worth while to offer, that is: For PHYS
sake, dear woman, when you lit your train
don't clutch every other garment you have
on beneath it. Take hold of the train itself
and hold it light y. This much you can
do, even if you must leave undore some of
the effective handling that comes by in
