The car was full. and the fond Young
guardian of infancy and innocence
occupied the first seat. Back TO back
with that was the seat that faced

spot sat thin, old man, with three
satchels and chin whiskers.
There was a lull for a few miles,
and the passengers began TO relax

the fusilade suddenly began again.

Among the supposed relations be-
tween sunspOts and the atmosphere
of the earth is one in which thunder
storms are concerned. Half a dozen
years ago it was noticed in Bavaria
that destructive lightning strokes
were apparently less numerous during
a maximum than during minimum
of sunSpots, and Doctor Won Behold
came to the conclusion that "high
temperatures and a spotleSs solar
surface give years Astounding in thun-
der-stormS."
If this theory is correct, the sum
mer just passed should have been com.
paratively free from thunder-StOrms,
for the sunspotS are now approaching
Il maximum.
Next summer also should, upon the
same hypothesis, witness relatively
few thunder-storms. In England
there has, indeed, been noticed this
year an apparent tendency to follow
the supposed law described above, as
thunder-stormS there have been less
numerous than they were a few years
ago, when the sunspots were near
their minimum.
Probably, as is the case with all the
other supposed relations between sun
spots and terrestrial phenomena, the
proof in this case will be very slow to
obtain and very far from convincing,
until we have learned much more
than we now know or the general
laws of the solar action

Gus breathing Of the engine. 1t was
a grand and terrible scene to me.

fore he went TO bed that night, the
man bolted the back door, put the cat
in the wood-shed, came in whistling
the "FatinitZan waltz, danced up 10
the clock-sheif. and. pouring out
what he supposed to be his hair ferti-
lizer, he mopped it all over his scalp,
and stirred it well in around the roots
of his little hedge of hair at the back
of his neck.
The glue bottle, by an unearthly
coincidence, was nearly the same
shape and size as the hair sap bottle.
He went to bed

her face to the wall, that stuff

pect that a man can put stuff on his

it smell like essence OF wintergreen,

They went to sleep mad as Turks.
This particular bald-headed man,
like good many other bald-headed
men, had to get up and build the
fires. When he arose next morning
the sun peeped in at the window, anG
saw the pillow cling to the back OF
his head like great white chignon;
he thought it must have caught on d
pin or shirt button. 1t looked ridicu-
ious, and he would throw it back on
the bed before his wife saw it, so he
caught it quickly by one end and
'yanked"

his scalp like a lunatic. His wife
sprang up from the couch and began
to sob Historically.

What's the natter"
George was dancing about the
room, the pillow now dangling by a
few hairs, his scalp covered with
something that looked like sheet
copper, while the air was re.
dolent of warlike explosives, as If a
dictionary had exploded. With &

Agricultural Brevities.

The advice often given to plant peach,
pear or other fruit trees in an apple
orchard is bad advice. Keep the peach,
pear, ounce and apple trees in separate
orchards, since they all require different
treatment and will not thrive together.
Some people won't believe this, but it is
true nevertheless, says the Philadelphia
Farm Journal.
An Illinois exchange tells that there
has been erected in Peoria, Ills, plant
to manufacture oil from the germ of
corn. There are such mills in Italy,
France and Hungary, and the Oil made
by them is used in the manufacture Of
fine soap. The part of the corn not
yielding oil is made into glucose.
An account of an experiment in
which plots used for cabbages, peas, car
rots, sweet corn and potatoes were
plowed to a depth of three, six or nine
inches is given in bulletin from the
Utah station. In the case of peas the
Bhallowest blowing gave the best results;
in the other cases the deepest blowing.
France is claimed to be the greatest
egg and poultry producing country in the
world, the value of eggs alone amounting
to $175, coo, 900 annually.

How to Feed for Eggs.

Hens kept for eggs should be so fed
that they can produce them. Lime in
some form should be provided for the
production of the shell. Most grains
contain some lime, but actual expert
ment has proved the wisdom of the
practice Of poultry keepers in feeding
oyster shells to the fowls. Those fed
with oyster shells lay better shelled
eggs and more of them than those
which have been denied this article Of
diet The white Of the egg is pure al
bumen, and to produce large number
of eggs the hen must assimilate a large
amount of albumen. Foods, therefore,
which contain albumen, lean meat or
scraps, a little hnseed meal, oats and
the like should be fed, says American
Agriculturist, which adds:
The yolk contains some oil and indi-
Gates the need of some carbonaceous
food. Indeed carbon is needed to pro-
duce tie force necessary to sustain and
support the hen in manufacturing her
product. Indian corn and wheat are
useful to use in connection with other
foods. Hens fed for eggs should be fur
nished with all the elements necessary
for the support of life and the produc-
ton of the eggs, and will lay much bet
ter than those which are fed at hap
hazard and with no systematic attempt
to furnish we'll balanced rations for egg
having,

It will not be forgotten by those who
are trying to change the constitution of
New York by legislative measure Of
justice to women that some idea Of the
amount of unrepresented taxation may
be gained from the "List of American
Millionaires," published this year in the
New York Tribune, and also in PAM
phlet form, carefully corrected.
The number Of millionaires in New
York city, whose names are given, is
1,103. Of these ISL are women. This
means much less than $181, 100000 Of
taxation without representation, for
many of these women are owners Of
many millions. One is mentioned as
having inherited 0,000, 900 from her
husband. Mrs. Hetty Green is another,
who inherited millions from her father,
millions from her aunt, and who has in
creased her millions enormously by jul
dicious investments and by the strictest
economic methods. No one can guess
the number of her millions. It would
be very safe to say that $500, 900 Of
property is owned in New York city by
women, who are taxed for this enormous
sum every year, and who are totally I'M
represented among those who have the
spending of these taxes-taxes Of which
the most ignorant foreigner and the most
ignorant native may have the disposal.
This estimate has been very carefully
made and carefully revised and correct
ed for another purpose, but it might
serve as an object lesson for those who
think that because many women have
husbands and fathers and brothers who
look after their interests there is no
need for women to have the ballot-for-
getting that in this republic every citizen
should have equal rights with every
other citizen, and that no one should be
deprived Of those rights except for in
fancy, idiocy, insanity, imbecility or
criminal conduct.-Sarah Freeman in
Woman's Journal.

Dressing Up Young Boys.

"I do not at all like this modern fash
ion of incasing child's legs in stiff leg
gings," said an old fashioned mother.
''It cannot fail to destroy freedom of mo-
ton and must consequently more or less
impede the circulation. The discarded
wooden leggings were far preferable in
my opinion, but best of all are warm
hand knitted stockings without any leg
gings at all. Every thing about the child's
clothing should be as warm and light az
possible. Young mothers are very apt
to incase their little ones like mummies,
putting on additional layers of clothing
when they go out Of doors and making
them SO unwieldy that they can hardly
walk, much less romp and play.
Instead of taking the trouble to
change the ordinary house garments for
thicker ones of the same number an ad-
ditional heavy flannel garment is drawn
on, into which everything about the up
per part of the legs is stuffed, while
from the knees down stiff leggings COM
plete this modern suit of armor with
which mothers seem to endeayor to stunt
the growth Of their children. If every
intelligent parent would study this ques-
ton of clothing young children and re-
duclng quantity, weight and compress
sion while insuring warmth and ade-
quate protection, am convinced that
there would be fewer delicate children
and far less danger during the winter of
colds and respiratory troubles. "-Phila-

TIE BUSINESS HEN.

Breeds fOrFarmers Who Care More for Per-
Torrance Than for Outward Appearance.
Ornamental poultry, the value of which
depends SO largely upon the color and
markings, finds its patrons among fan
ciers and amateur farmers of means. It
is the business hen that meets the re-
quirements of the great majority, the
class that wants meat and eggs at the
smallest possible expenditure of time,
labor and money. In the interest of
would be poultry farmers who care more
for performance than for outward ap-
pearance the Rural Publishing company
issued Mr.. H. w. Collingwood's poultry
book bearing the significant title, 1.-THE
Business Hen"
In this book much is said about the
Leghorns. This, explains Mr.. Colling-
wood, is because the Leghorns happened
to be doing the work on the majority of
successful egg farms that he had investi-
gated, and Mr.. Collingwood evidently
has decided preference for the laying
hen" In special article incorporated
in Mr.. Collingwood's book by Mr.. P. H.
Jacobs occurs the following, which an
