OF Captain James Morris, an ex-army
officer, at the Southern recently.
'sThey took a number Of their horses

use, and on the other they put a

weeks trial, during which time the
horses had been moving on a particu-
larly hard and stony road, it was
found that the aluminium shoes had
worn infinitely better than those OF

pieces the former was intact. 1t is
funny, but it may prove q big thing

Before the fish commissioners OF Cali

the state with that much despised bnt
powerful fish. the German carp, they
were greatly concerned as to whether
it would live in certain waters. The
question was debated at several meet
ings, and was finally submitted to
Professor H, an eminent aut hor--

Samples Of the water were obtained
and turned over to the professor, who
in short time resubmitted a favorable
report, and the carp was accordingly
turned loose in the river. "a:

Heat and Life.

We often speak of our bodies as ma
chimes or working upon principles
similar to those employed in mechan-
les. The idea that the food we eat re-
sembles in it's action the fuel supplied
to a furnace is familiar, and yet one
can hardly avoid little start OF sur.
prise upon finding the laws of heat
engines soberly applied to explain the
growth OF plant and animal life.
This has recently been done by Mr.
j. Parker before the philosophical
Society in London. He points out,
for instance, that the increase of
available energy resulting from the
building up of a plant out OF NOR
ganic materials call only be explained.
in accordance with thermo-dyna,nic,
laws, by differences of temperature
during the growth Of the plant, and
his calculations show that the differ
ence between day and night is quite
sufficient to account for the diferen-
ces OF temperature required.
Similar principles apply to the
growth of animals. Nature gives
nothing for nothing, and demands an
exact equivalent for every expend7-
ture OF her energies, whether she is aid
ing man to drive an engine, causing
an oak to grow, or building up this

a philosopher. And as far as her
work upon our planet is. concerned,
the source OF her supplies in all
these cases is the sun.

Home Hints.

All broiled meats should be served
the moment they are cooked.
Never keep cheese under wood
Either glass or earthen cover should
be provided.
Glass should be washed in cold
water, which gives it a brighter and
clearer look than when cleansed with
warm water.
For washing the hair, particularly
such as inclined to be oily, nothing is
better than the common hard soap of
the kitchen.
An excellent addition to Goldfish
balls or minced fish of any kind, and
one which takes the place of butter,
is the oil left from box of sardines.
Every housekeeper should have a
blank book, in which to copy or paste
useful hints or directions about cook
ing and other homework. This book
should be kept in the kitchen.
Sable, chinchilla, squirrel and mon
key skin may be very nicely cleaned
with hot bran. Get a small BRAN
