The creation of a Board of Parole
Commissioners in California is a de-
parture from prison discipline in that
State that is looked upon with trepi-
dalion in some quarters. Under the
provisions of the act cOhvicts may
be parolcd by the Board after one
year of their sentense has expired. no
matter what may DC the extent of the
sentence or the Nervousness of the

Keep the Hens Warm.

No matter how abundantly the
food may be supplied, no flock of hens
will lay regularly in winter unless
they are provided with warm quar-
ters. 1t is not necessary to have II
stove in the poultry house, but every
crack and crevice should be closed.
The animal heat of the bodies of the
fowls will aid in increasing the
temperature, and the mistake should
not be made of ventilating the house
except by leaving the doors and WIN
dows open during the day. The
house should be closed completely at
night. There need be no fear in re-
gard to ventilation, as no poultry
house is so tight and close as to give
inconvenience on cold nights. No
fiocks of hens can lay if the poultry
house is cold, as it requires too much
food to create warmth for the bodies.
They will be unable to produce eggs
simply because the cold takes from
them the elements that should be de-
voted to egg production. Warm
shelter, saves food, and it is much
cheaper to make the poultry house
warm than to purchase warmth in
the shape Of grain.-Mirror.

Sitting in a Draught,

1t is strange the difference there is
in people about sitting in a draught
of air. Some persons can sit or lie in
draught of air, while Others would
! catch their death of cold in few mo-
ments. Why is this? 1t cannot be
wholly due to the relative strength
of the individual, nor solely to the
conditions of particular organs OF
the body Judging from observa-
tions, it would seem that, other
things being equal, those who have
the best capillary circulation are the
ones least to suffer. But this again
depends upon certain other condi-
tions.
A person who has a very feeble
pulse, showing low vitality, cannot
have good circulation in the eapil-
iaries; the surface is easily chilled,
hence the danger of taking cold.
But you will see another individual
with a strong pulse, good vitality,
who is apparently as susceptible to
draughts as the feeble one. The GU
taneous circulation is sluggish, owing
to abnormal conditions. 1t NAV be
due to an error in diet or some thing
which interferes with the surface cir
culation. One who lives largely on
oily foods may have a skin so torpid
that the capiliaries in it cannot do
their work properly.
Or if there is an excess of bile in th,
! blood this fluid may be so thick that
the fine network of capiiaries cannot
carry it. The surface circulation will
be sluggish and the skin easily chilled

Old Mother Earth,

Did you ever ask yourself, or some
body else who didn't know any bet
ter, how old the earth isl Many a
geologist has wondered and calculat-
ed, but no one will ever know ap-
proXimately. Some of the calcula-
tions are interesting. The st. Louis
Republic SAYS: "The amount of lime
salts in water which drains from dis
tricts made up of GRANTEES and ba-
salts is found comparison of differ
ent analyses to be on an average OF
about 3.73 parts in 100000 parts OF
water. 1t is further assumed by those
who take this mode of reckoning the
age OF the world that the excess areas
OF igneous rocks, taken on an average
throughout all geological time, will
bear to the exposures of sedimentary
rocks a ratio of one to nine. From
these and other more complicated
data it has been informed that the
| elimination ofcalcareous matter now
! found in all the sedimentary strata
must have been going on through a
| period of 6OO,0O0,000 years. This,
therefore, represents the minimum
age of the world. Biologists also
conclude that the formation of the
Laurentian, Cambrian and Silurian
strata occupied period of 200, ,00O,-
600 years; the red sandstone, the
carboniferous and the poecilitic sys-
TENS another 100000, 900 years, the
remaining 200,000,O0O years being
taken with the formation of other
stratas. Thus we are led to believe
that geological time has been enor-
mousl y in excess of the limits urged
by certain well-known physicists and
that it has been ample to allow for
all the changes which, on the hypoth-
esis of evolution, have occurred in the
organic MOrld.N

The Country Boy.

Boys who are fortunate enough to
be born i'm the country have unmis-
taxable advantages over city lads.
The country is the place Of all Others
to be born in. The associations Of
youth, of home, or school, winter and
the farm work and play mixed to-
gether in a delightful tangle, are
never rooted out but grow deeper in
to the character and become dearer
to the being while life passes and the
revolving years hold out.
1t is worth more than a university
education to have been born and
brought up on a farm, of well TO do
parents. That supplies what no
learning from the books ever can.
That is a resource that stands by. II
is something to feed upon and il the
boy as n man engages in business or
a profession he has a stock OF health
and sound constitution TO draw
upon that will be sure TO carry him
triumphantly through, when the city
boys are giving way all along the
road. Morally and physically, ne has

THE PEOPLES ACADEMY.
AN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION roRMEr

AN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION FORMED.
All former students of the above
academy will be much interested in
the result Of a meeting which was
held in the pnrlors OF The Randall
Thursday evening, Dec. Goth. For
some little time a movement has been
on foot tending to the formation of
an alumni association, as it was
thought that such an organization
would not only bind the graduates
closer together, but would also i'm
time become of much assistance to
the academy, and so letters were sent
to the former students, asking them
to meet at The Randall Dec. 29th.
Twenty-Five responded to the invita-
ton. Letters were read from Hon.
and Mrs. Frank Plumley OF North
field Charles j. Lewis OF Hannibal,
Mo-; Gen. W. w. Henry, of Burling-
ton; Judge Myron Bailey, of st. Al
bans, and many others, expressing
the hope that an associatiOn might
be formed, believing that it would re-
suit in pleasant union between the
graduates, and that il would be ben
fetal to the school. After some dis
cussion il was decided that every per-
son who had ever taken full course
OF study at the academy should be
entitled to active membership in the
association, and that all those who
had attended for one or more terms
would welcomed as honorary mem
bers. The organization was then
perfected by the election of thefoliow-
ing officers President, Il. c. Cheney
SO; vice-president, Miss Lillian
Leach, '92; secretary, Miss Nellie
Slayton, II; treasurer, Miss Alice
Doty, 80. Prof. Beebe, as chairman
of the meeting, appointed the follow
ing committees: On constitution, A.
o. Gates, Mrs. Maria Tinker, 70;
Miss Florence Bryant, 'SS. Execu-
tive committee, II. c. Cheney, 'S6,
Miss Bertha Holbrook, 81, Miss Ger
trude Putnam, '01. On membership,
Miss Hattie Rich, 'SS. Morris Blake,
'92, Miss Lillian Leach, '02. IL is
earnestly desired that everyone who
has at any time attended the Peo-
pies Academy will become members
of the organization. as no benefit can
ever be expected to result from the
association unless it be strong in
numbers. The first business meeting
will be held at the close OF school, the
first week in June. This will be fol-
lowed by banquet at The Randall.

On the Ice House.

On the subject of ice and icehouses,
p. of d. A. Kent said: There are
four things to consider-drainage,
ventilation, insulation and air circu-
lation. There should be dead air
spaces in the walls and no sawdust
put in the spaces. Air is better than
sawdust. Ice should be packed solid,
set on edge, foot space left between
the ice and the walls of the building
and the space packed with sawdust.
Go around occasionally and watch
for air holes which form as ice settles.
Do not cover deep on top. Too much
sawdust on the top generates heat
and wastes ice.
A four inch blanket of sawdust on
top to protect from draughts of air
is the right depth. To secure drain
age, cover the bottom with two by
fours set on edge six inches apart.
Fill between with sawdust and cover
two inches above the top of the
two by fours. Then the water will
drain into the ground as it melts and
if the ground on one side is lower
than the interior of the ice house, the
drainage will be all right.

The AUSTRALIAN RABBIT.-The
rabbit we hear of as a serious pest in
Australia is quite different from the
animal we see here on sale during the

persevering turnover and it breeds
with a rapidity which it is difficult to
comprehend. The rabbit of this
country is in reality a member of the
hare family, and this does not apply
to the jack-rabbit exclusively. That
speedy animal is obviously hare

The Worlds Food for one Day

The average healthy man eats two
and a half pounds of solid food in a
day. Some races eat much more
than Others, but against this we can
set the smaller consumption of chill
dren and the delicate members of the
civilized communities. Now, as there
are, according to the most careful
computations, ,497, 0O0, 900 human
beings on the planet, we may con
clude that 1907, 10000 pounds of
solid food are eaten every day the
world over. With regard to the
drinking capacity of the human race,
as the proper individual allowance is
nearly two and three-quarters pints
a day, we may take that the above
named quantity of food is washed
down with 4,O47, ,SSS,000 pints of
LIQUID in some form or other; that is
to say enough to fill a reservoir 144
yards long, IA broad and IA deep.

Love of Dress and its Limits.

Beauty has a powerful influence
over most of us. A humorously pa
thetic story is told ofan old man who's
life had been spent with a severely
plain, addressed wife, and who secret
ly purchased a haxeH-haired doll to
crafty his love of the beautiful, will
illustrate the principle. Actual physi-
cal beauty is a rare gift, but pleasant
and CHEEKY looks and agreeable dress
ing go far toward answering the same
purpose. The woman who studies
the question of dress in order that
she may find and appropriate that
which is becoming, who makes acare-
ful study of color and outlines from
an artistic standpoint, and who tries
to emphasize everyone of her good
points and to disguise those which
are less attractive, is adding ma
terially to her influence for good at
home and abroad. But when dress
becomes a paramount consideration
in n woman's life and simply means
of gratifying her vanity or eclipsing
her neighbors, it is a lamentable per-
version and Injuries herself and all
who come under her infiuence.-Chris-
