Ger in fnll-dress uniform, standing on
the bridge leading to Arlington, turned
to a companion and remarked:
THAT is in all human probability the

Russian Nobility.

The Russian nobility is constitutionally
aot an exclusive caste. There is a con-
slant huctuatior in its numbers. Persons
of the lower classes are often raised to
nobility if they make themselves de.
serving in the Government service, and
mobiles are degraded if for the commits
sion of crime the courts deprive them OF
their "titles aud preferences. " A COM
plant has reached the Senate that an as
scmbly of mobiles nal refused to enter
upon their rolls the names of persons re-
Gently raised to their station. Upon
further inquiry it was found that the as
sembles OF many districts had made it a
practice to do the same. When a per-
son who had been made a noble sought
for admission into their councils they
would decide his clse by ballot. II he
did not receive a sufficient number of
votes he was excluded from their rolls
and assemblies. The "pedigreel no.
biIity' (Stolbovoye Dvaryanstvo) have
zeaIously watched over such ballots and
taken care that no new-made noble
should be admitted into their circle.
The Senate therefore decided that as
soon as any person is admitted to the
privilege of nobility he becomes defacto
member OF the assembly Of mobiles of
his district. 1t is the duty oil the assem-.
bly, to enter his name upon their rolls
and to totiiy him Of the constitutional
and special meetings held by their body.
They have no option in this matter and
their balIoting for new candidates is
mere farce. Chicago Ners.

Ancient Hot Air Baths.

Remains Of ancient hot air baths or
sweat houses still exist on the island OF
RlthiI, on the northeast coast Of County
Antrim, Ireland. The Rev. D. b.
Mulcahy describes one he recently visitel
on the farm OF Widow McCurly, in the
townlaud Of K1ocxa1s. Mrs. McCurly
said she hi used it fifty years ayj, and
that it had been used by the islanders
from time immenorial. A heap of ashes
lay outside the doorway, showing it had
formerly been heated by fire. Mrs.
McCurdy sail further that, previous to a
bath, FIRE was kindIea inside, and,
when it was sufficiently heated, tire ashes
were swept out. The people came to b,

at the top to les out the smoke and

fARm AND HOUSEHOLD.
rLUN TREES IN HENYARDs.'

The combination OF poultry with small
fruit culture is generally unsatisfactory
unless the fowls are too closely confined
for their own good. All the light weight
breeds are ective a4l require large
range. But there is ons kind OF fruit
that eau be better gro IN in the poultry
ward than anywhere else. We refer to
the plum. Plant plum trees fifteen feet
apsrt and all toe entire enclosure WITH
them, surrounding the fence with wire
to keep hens from flying over. The
land should not be cropped, but plowed
in spring and cultivated twice a month
through the growing season, sowing in
summer oats at each cultivation and the
last time in fall sowing rye. The fowls
thus will get exercise with their feed.
Their droppiuss, together with the green
herbage plowei uoder, will keep the land
rich, and either the cultivation or the
hens will destroy or brighten away the
curculio, securing good crops of fruit
after the trees come to bearing age

Then wash the face in this milk and rub

sPoNGES IN THE DAIRY.

Are we to believe that story about a
large milk company in Denmark running
the milk through sponges to purify it
and that cut of nine million pounds Of
milk i've tons of filth were taken? This
looks like pretty big pile OF filth, but
it is also an ocean of milk. making one
pound of filth to 1928 eight gallon cans
of milk, according to the figuring OF the
Farmers Rsrier, which is not nearly the
ler cent. of dirt that any of the sepaa-
tors take out Of milk. The whole story
looks absurd, not only the small amount
of dirt found, but the impractica5ility of
using sponges for such purposes There
ore few diaries wher, sponges are used
to take the water of the butter when 1t
is being worked, but it is so hard to keep
the sponge sweet and clean that it is a
questionable practice. How they could
keep the multitude of sponges clean that
would be necessary for so large quantity
of milk we do not see. Besides, sponges
are not of much account for arresting
dirt. They simply take up and give out
again, the water does not pass through
the sponge as though it was a strainer.
We will have to hear more of that story
before VIC believe it.-Americaa Dairy.

a Man Who Walks Backward.

The case Of Joseph Copemau, a young
deaf-mute, whose powers Of locomotion
arc so affected from some unknown cause
that he is obliged to walk backward,
after the manner OF crab, has COM
pletely myst6ed Dr. Horatio c. Wood,
under whose care the boy lies in the
Universal Hospital. Copeman was born
in England about ten years ago. AT the
age of three years an attack of scarlet
fever brought about the loss of his hear
ing, and he also gradually lost all power
of speech. Shortly after this he came
with his parents to this country, settling
at Osceoa Mills, in Cleardeld
County.
Very soon after the arrival OF the
family here the mother died aud the boys
father disappeared very suddenly. Since
that time the young unfortunate has been
living with his grandmother, Mrs. Baker,
at Osceola Mills, At the age Of six years
he had two or three slight attacks OF
commissions that did not seem to effect
him seriously, but about a year later he
had a severe fit, which left him In an
unconscious condition.
When he ,ssDvered he remained in
state of profound stupor for several days,
but later recovered his apparent good
health, and continued in normal condi-
ton until April last. His grandmother
thea noticed that the bog occasionally
lmped very painfully with his left leg.
She imagined he was mimiciu5 and old
cripple of The neighborhood, punished
him and admonished him rot to repeat
the offence. rhc boy rapidly grew worse
and finally lost the use Of his left leg.
Tie left arm also became adectel, and
he Developed tendency to walk back
ward instead Of in the usual way.
The grandmother became alarmed aud
sent the boy to a hospital in Pnilipsburg.
He received no benefit from his treat
ment at that institution, aud was after
wards, through tae influence OF Rev. Dr..
Clerc, sent to st. LIKES Hospital, Beth
lehem, Penn. He underwent treatment
there for about three weeks and
was thought to be considerably benefited.
After leaving the institution DIR Clerc
made application for admission to the
Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Broad and
Pine streets. The boy arrived at the in
stitution in September, but when his
peculiar condition was discovered Super
intendent Crauter aud Dr.. Lewis con-
cluded to place him under the care of u
physician rather than send him to a class
for instruction in the sign language.
A peculiar phase Of his case lies in the
fact that, when standing erect, if he de-
sires to move from one point to another
he is obliged to turn around and walk
backward, while, by assuming stoop-
ing position, be can shuttle forward in
the usual way Philadelphia Record.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Pullets and two-year-oll hens are the
most profitable.
When hens are kept only for eggs no
rooster IS needed.
For a cold climate breed with
small comb will be found best.
In marketing, eggs should be clean
and fowls well fattened and dressed.
The worst difficulty in raising chickens
in brooders is liz keering them warm al
night.
In a majority Of cases in selecting a
breed for the farm it is best to get cool
forasers.
Whenever the hens begin to lay thiu.
shelltd eggs, it is an indication that they
need line.
Feeding on barley meal ten days before
killing will give dclicacy to tn, flesh

swclled heads and eyes in chickens
and turkeys are oftea c,used by exposure
to draughts.
