LAST USE OF ARMoR.
1t Was In 1900 and Was Picturesque and
DiabOlical Scene.

DiabOlical Scene.
In January, 1899, at the town of
Aquilla, in the Abruzzo, then held by
garrison of 400 French troops. the
peasants broke into the town, and.
though they were driven out by the
French, they continued to give serious
trouble. They even drove the French
into the fort and made ready to bonn
bard them with heavy guns The French
were in an awkward position.
Boulert, the officer of artillery, ran
sacking his brains for the means of send
ing out men to spike the guns on the
glacis, under the fire of the insurgents
from the neighboring houses, suddenly
remembered that he had seen In his
magazine some suits of plate armor, and
he proposed to try whether, protected
by them, men could not sally out and
work in security under the musketry
fire. He got together 10 complete suits
and dressed out 10 gunners and grens-
diers thus, selecting big men, be 1t re-
marked. At certain hour the garrison
lined the covered way, and from thence
and from the fort opened a steady fire
of musketry and of artillery on the lines
of the insurgents
Then out marched the 10 knights OF
the eighteenth century, much in Da-
vid's state of mind when he complained
he had not proved his armor. The men
carried handspikes, hammers and spikea
Moving naturally slowly and awk-
wardly in their heavy steel mail, still
they succeeded in completing their work
under hail of bullets from the insur-
gents. The scene is described. as we
can we'll believe, to have been most re-
markable and to have had something
picturesque and also diabolical about It.
AS the mailed figures moved In 81
lence among the guns, their handspikes
looking like maoes, their silence and
the slowness of their actions seemed
unnatural under the steady hail of bull
lets. The insurgents were believed to
have thought hell itself had sent forth
these extraordinary antagonists, ghosts
of past age, while the French on the
ramparts, true to their nature the first
moment of anxiety over, burst into roars
of laughter. -Phipp's "Marshais of Ma
poleon. +"

generally done. For years our horse
lovers have watched the fairs and shows
of Great Britain, France and Germany,
and thus bought up the noted prize win
ners. The result is already seen in the
improved carriage and draft horses of
the United States. The improvement
will still go on.
The owner Of the Oaklawn horse
breeding farm at Wayne, Ills, has been
particularly attracted to French horses,
both Percherons and coaohers, and has
imported scores of them. One Of his
Percheron stations, whose portrait is

animal should be allowed to leave

Of Bonheur's drawing. This splendid
black stallion is 1914 hands high and
weighs ton. His horse blood is as royal
in it's way as that of the Bourbons and
far nobier. He comes Of a mingled
strain OF the most noted Percheron fam

one Of the prize winners was the beau

noted blood in France. This mare Is

Movable Hurdle.

A movable pen, or hurdle, is of the
greatest value on any farm or garden
where stock and fruit and vegetables are
grown. One profit in stock keeping is to
make the stock serve every purpose pos
sible Thus poultry are valuable as egg
producers or flesh growers, but If the
eggs and flesh can be grown in good
part from the. insects and weed seeds
that are the gardener worst enemies
80 much greater the gain. But poultry
and turkeys and pigs and sheep free to
roam at will are likely to do great
harm. and it is in combining them to
the limits Of the work to be done that
the value of the hurdle, or pen, lies
Such hurdle or pen can be easily made
of four pieces of scantling, each as long
as the pen is to be high; four pieces Of
board 10 inches by 30 inches each, with
a hole the size of the end of the scant-
ling, and as many feet of wire mesh as
the outside of the pen is to measure. To
make the pen lay the pieces of scantling
on the ground, as far apart as the sides
Of the pen are to be wide, understand
ing that the distance between the posts
will be side of the pen. Fasten the
wire mesh to the posts with tack at
each mesh. leaving enough wire mesh
beyond the fourth scantling to form the
fourth side. Tack the loose end to a
small strip Of board the height of the
scantling, and in this board place three
hooks, one at each top and bottom. one
at the middle, with screw eyes to match
in front of the first scantling.
Set the soantlings into the holes of
the four pieces of board, and the pen Is
complete unless it is to be used for
poultry, when a wire or cloth top will
be necessary. This pen can be moved
about easily, and in 1t the stock can be
kept where they are wanted.
For pigs, sheep or calves the pen
mast be made stronger. This can be
done by passing iron rods from one cor
ner post to the opposite side, the two
rods crossing each other. This also gives
a framework ON which the cover OF wire
or cloth can rest. -Philadelphi Ledger.
There is question with some farmers
as to which is the best time to have
lambs come Those that are for the
Christmas market have Of course been
provided for already. With spring lambs
1t amounts to this: If you are new to
sheep raising or have large aocks. do
not have your lambs come till April or
May. That would mean breeding the
ewes the LIST of January. But If you
have warm nuartars. plentv Of feed and
know how to take care Of them, then
you can have them come in February or
March. For March lambs breed Nov. l.

THE CHICAGO SHOW.
Fat Stock and Horse Exhibitions VIII BE
Held Together.

Fat Stock and Horse Exhibitions VIII Be
Held Together.
The Illinois state board of agriculture
has drafted the prize list for the Ameri-
can horse show, which exhibition will
cago's big horse mart Nov. 30 to Dec.
1. The fat stock show will be held in
connection with this exhibit, but it is
not probable that this show will be Of
an extent that will encroach seriously
ON the space for horses. The prize list is
quite comprehensive, including classes
for thoroughbreds, standard breds,
Cleveland bays, French coachers, Ger
man ooachers, hackneys, Morgans, road
ster stations, gated saddlers, Shetland
ponies and all tho draft breeds, together
with rings for four hands, tandems,
carriage pairs, hunters, Jumpers, etc.
Each breed named is given three rings
--4 years old or over, years old and
2 years old-in both sexes, and prizes
are uniformly $25 for first, $15 for SEQ
ond and $40 for third. It Is greatly to
be regretted that the rings for yearlings
and foals have been omitted. The 40
commodations at Tattersalls are limited
to $50 stalls, and Superintendent Pace
states that he could not possibly figure
out room enough for the youngsters, and
solely ON this account rings for the
yearlings and foals are not provided.
There are no stables in the Immediate
vicinity to accommodate an overflow,
and it is thought that the stall room
will be taxed to care for the older horses
which will be shown.
We fear this omission will initiate
greatly against the show of draft horses,
and Ii is to be hoped that after the en-
tries give some idea of the numbers
room may be found to accommodate the
young things in the exhibition Of which
our breeders take such great pride. In
view Of the limited number of stalls at
the disposal of the board, 1t will doubt
less be well for exhibitors to file entries
Immediately, as late Corners may have
to be rejected for lack of room. The
board has been compelled TO adopt a
rule that not more than two entries in
any ring will DO accepted from any one
exhibitor.
A total of $15, 900 in prizes is offered,
which amount exceeds by about 90, 800
any previous Offering at this show. The
prizes are not large, but IL must be re-
membered that the chances for gate
money are not nearly so good as when
the show was located on the lake front

There are few persons who walk along
the streets of London whose attention
has not been directed to the exceedingly
ingenious toys which are sold by the
itinerant vendors for the deleotation of
children One Of these is hollow tube
of paper, furnished with short piece
of bamboo at one end, up to which 1t Is
ooiled by the action Of very slight steel
spring. On blowing into the bamboo the
coil Is unrolled and reaches forward
nearly yard. The sudden extension Of
this coil produced by blowing In It Is a

These are not blown In the usual way.
but the breath Of the performer is made
to initiate a small india rubber ball,
which, once blown into, supplies suf-
flcient air to play few bars Of any
popular tune.
Our contemporary, The Lancet has
called attention to the possible conse-
quenoes of buying these toys. which, 1t

ing been inflated by questionable breath,
and perhaps wet with the moisture
of the still more questionable lips of the
vender. An infected mouthpiece, 1t
says, has not unfrequently been known
to be the origin Of grave constitutional
troubles. This is perfectly true. Persons
who would hesitate to drink out Of a
glass that has been used will buy and
present toys of this kind to their ohil-
dren, not knowing by whom they have
been used or by what disease they may
be contaminated. Among the impover-
ished makers and vendors sore throats,
diphtheria and contagious fevers in ev-
cry stage may be raging, and children
may contract fatal diseases even of a
worse character than any we have men
toned by blowing and using these ques-
tionable toys. Surely 1t is only neoes-
sary to call attention Of persons to the
evil, for careful supervision would pre-
vent the dissemination Of loathsome
disorders by these means.-London
