The Galapagos tOrtoises are likely be-
fore long to be lost, as peculiar represent
ativcs of the Testudo family. Years ago
the tortoiscs found on the Island Of Aida
bra, northwest of Madagascar, rcsembled
these Galapagos tortoises, but they have
gone. The curious fact about the Calapa-
gos tortoscs is that on Il remote island of
the Pacific, off the northwestern coast Of
South America, there should cXis. n spe-
cies of tortOises restricted to the locality.
When Damper visited the islands in 1850
he WAS the first to lie. the world know of
the huge land creatures. Ever since that
time tortoiscs have been taken OH one or
the other of the islands forming the Gal
apagos group.
In Darwin's time this land tortoise would
weigh 200 pounds. 1t is probable that
when Dampcr visited the island there
were some weighing 400 pounds. The gov
crnor of one of these islands told Darwin
that he had weighed tortoise of SO
pounds. When Captain Tanner, OF the Al
batross, took tortoiscs OH the Galapagos
islands in 1883, the largest was forty
pounds. The probability is that there will
soon be no more big land tortoiscs in Gal
apagos.-New York Times.

How Hunrcr Is Cnnscd.

What is the cause of hunger? The popu-
lar instinct of course answers, Want of
fool; and no doubt that is the explanation
that lies nearest the investigator. Food
has been called the fuel of lifc-though it
would he more correct to say that the fuel
of life is that whereof food is the raw ma
terial-tO wit, the tissues of the body them
selves. But, without over subtle refining,
it is very apparent that if we Withhold
that which builds up its fuel the fire of
life will soon be qucnchcd
Hunger is the first wnrnin. signal given
to let us know that the body's store of fuel
needs replenishing; and in this sense it
may be said that the want of food causes
the pain of hunger. But if want of food
causes the hunger pang it is strange that
the administration of substances that are
not food will dispel it.
For example, chewing or smoking to-
bacco, eating Jumps of clay, as do some
South American Indians and other tribes,
will remove the painful sensation of
hunger quite ms cifcctually-for the time
ut lcast-as q hearty meal. The theory of
hunger may thus be formulated:
Fasting produces II general change in
the organism as II whole. This, again,
brings about II specific change in a par
ticular part of the organism-the stomach
of which the pain of hunger is the local
symptom. Direct applications, such as IL
bolus OF food. or even of clay, temporarily
relieve this local feeling of pain by neu-
traliZng the specific local changes to which
that feeling owes its origin.
Indirect applications, again, such as the
injection of milk into the blood, correct
the general alteration of the system pro-
duccd by want of food. BY doing SO they
correct those local castle changes pro-
duccd by the general effect of fasting in
the system-changes which render the
local manifestations of hunger possible

WOMEN AS AeRlcuLruRlsTs..
Three Connecticut Women Who Havc
Made Money Out of Farming

1hrce connecticut Women Who Havc
MAD" Money Out of Farming.
DO many stalwart young men leave rural
New England for the cities and the west
that women i'll those sections often develop
astonishing capacities. AS rule mankind
only do what they are obliged to in the
line OF work, and it will generally be found
that the successful women farmers who
occasionally astonish the country began
the business us II necessity, though they
soon learned to like it..
Connecticut has an unusually large
number of these women, u few of whom
may be cited here as good specimens. Mrs
Lester Peck, of Grassy Hill, was not really
Il farmer by necessity, for when her hus-
Dand died twenty years ago he left two
farms and no children; but she liked the
business. and being rather delicate in
frame believed it better to stick to the
farm. She has prospcred to wonderful
degree, is now in robust health and has
two OF the finest farms in the Connecticut
valley
She decided early that hay was in the
long run the most profitable crop in New
England, and her farms were soon known
as the best grass land in that section From
this she naturally drifted into stock rails
Ing and now has herd that is noted in
.;er neighborhood. She has also devoted
much attention to Strawberries AMI raSp-
berries, and during the fruit season drives
fourteen miles twice every week TO dispos,.
OF her picking. She is very valuable mem
Der of the church and community, highly
respected for her Christian character and
liberality, while in the details of farming
her advice is taken rs the best by young
farmers.
more remarkable case is that of Mrs.
Harriet Crosby, of Chestnut Plain, who is
but twenty-five years old and has been II
successful farmcr foreight years. She was
the oldest of three children, all girls, and
was away ut school when her father died.
Learning that the farm was mort.aged
she resolutely set to work to remove the
encumbrance. She worked in the fields
and directed the help till she got able to
hire all the work done. She has paid the
mortgage drained the swamp land, built
a new residence and barns, and renovated
the entire farm, Keeping her two sisters at
school all the time, and now has 225 acres
under cultivation

once eaw near Main Il party of Moors who
had come all the way from Morocco Oh

Although Mohammcd was their prophet
they were travelling according to the or
ders given by Jesus to the ''other seventy"
when he "sent them two and two before

he himself would come" i'll so far as to
carry neither purse nor scrip nor Shoes"
ana according to the further injunction, to
eat such things as are set before you"
little experience with them convinced
me that the manners of the road had prob
ably rot changed here since the Seventy"
were commanded to salute no man by
the way" for Il waysidc salute required
considerable time. Thus it ran between
Ali and 1'usef:

ton of their "divine Grand" They de-
clared that they had received willing and

departed from their homes, and in no case
had they been compelled to wipe off the
dust" against any place or people.
Such men do not visit Main because it is
linked with the memory of Christ. but for
the reason that it is inhabited by few
fanatical Moslems, who will be sure to
make them welcome, and with whom they
can rejoice over the downfall Of the
christian day"

To Those Who Fail.

Courage. brave heart, nor in thy purpose falter
Go on and win the fight ut any cost.
Though sick and weary after heavy conflict
Rejoice To know tho baltic is not lost
The field is open still to those brave spirits
Who nobly struggle till the strife is DONE
Through sun and storm, with courage all un-
dauntcd,
Working and waiting till tho battles won.
The farest pearls are found in deepest waters,
The brightest jewels in the darkest mine,
And through the very blacklist hour of mid
night
Tho star Of hope doth ever brightly shine
Press on! Press on. Tho path is steep and
rugged,
And storm clouds almost hide hopes light
from view
But you can pass where other feet have trod-
den;
few more steps may bring you safely
through.
The battle DER, n victor crowned with honors
BY patient toll each difficulty past,
You then may SEQ these days of bitter failure
But spurrcd you on to greater deeds at last

Miles Standish TO attract attention.
This is Mr.. j. V. Standish, the new prcsi
dent of Lombard university, Mt Galcsblrg.
Ills. He was born in Woodstock, VT, Feb
%, 1925; was graduated from Norwich uni
versity in 1917, and in 1854 was made pro.

Lombard university position he held
till June, 1891. He then travelled year
and returned to become president of the
college. In 1857 he was elected president
of the Illinois State Teachers association.
and has served as editor of The State
journal of Education.
1t is interesting to learn that the de-
sccndants of Miles Standish have gen
orally maintained high standard in edu-
cation. Professor Standish began teach
ing Mt the age of sixteen, and has made IL
his life business. The descendants of Pas

are said to be numbered by thousands, and
it is claimed that they and other Puritan
lives have sustained the high character of
the race to wonderful degree.
