why Some Calves Sickcn.

Calves scour and die because they
are overfed while young. Prevention
is better than cure and no medicine is
so good for a sick calf as abstinence
before he becomes sick. A calf in his
natural state sucks the COW and has
frequent access to her udder, never at
one time getting a large quantity.
When fed only twice per day the little
creature is SO hungry he gorges, if per-
mitted, and his stomach, not being
mature and strong, rebels, throwing
the load into the bowels, there tc' fer
ment and cause trouble. If those who
fatten calves would but bear in mind
the truth that only small meal is
needed by a young calf they could
raise more and never be troubled by
scours,-H. Sage, in Farm and Home

The Kentucky experiment station
reports Il new enemy to the gra pc vine
in some small grubs that eat the bark
from grape roots. By keeping these
grubs until they undergo their change,
it is found that they are produced by
eggs laid by small brown beetle,
something like the rose bug, but diff
fering from that pest. This beetle has
been noticed to feed on grape leaves,
and experiment shows that Paris green
solutions viii poison them. The grubs
may be killed by putting bisulphide of
carbon around the stem of the grape,
removing the earth, and then replacing
it over the bisulphide. We have not
heard Of this enemy except from Ken
tucky, but grape growers should be on
the lookout for it.

A BOY LIFE SAVER.
He Began His Gallant Record When But
Eight Years Old,

Tommy Milligan, one of the bright
est boys in Fitchburg, Mass, made his
third rescue from drowning the
other day. lie made his first
when but eight years old. He
is now twelve. Tommy is small for his
years. He is Il Scotcnman. having been
born IN Ayreslire January ., 1882. and
was three years old when he crossed
'the big salt pond with his parents.
They landed in East Boston and lived
there seven years. Tommy was five
years old when he went in swimming
the first time. From that time Tommy
improved every opportunity to go in
swimming, to the great CONSERVATION
of his mother and father. He could
stay under water longer than any of
the other boys, and often when his
mother was watching him he would re-
main under SO long chat she was fright
ened, thinking he was drowned. He
was not quite eight years old when he
saved the life of a companion. They
were bathing under d bridge on the
narrow-gaUpc railroad in East Boston,
and the latter in diving struck his leg
against rock, the blow stunning him.

FABLES OF THE PHOENIX.
How He Builds His Own Funeral Pyre
and Lights 1t.


The paragon of all fabulous creatures
was the bird described by the ancient
writers under the title of the Ara bian
ph9niX." Ovid says: although mos.
beings and things have their origin in
other individuals of their own species,
there is one remarkable exception to
this general law-the mil .culous bird
called the phoenix. which reproduces
itself" According to a belief which
Herodotus heard expressed at Heliopo-
lis, the famous Egyptian city Of the
sum-" this miraculous bird visited
that place once every five hundred
years-always coming from the direc-
tion of Arabia-on the occasion of its
fathers death, and always buried him
with peculiar ceremonies.
According to the best evidences
which can be gathered from the
writings of Ovid, Pliny, Herodotus and
Dion Cassius, after the phoenix had
lived his allotted lifetime of five hun
dred years he selected a spot and pre-
pared his own dcathbed. which con-
sisted of a sort of nest. or funeral pyre,
made of leaves and branches of the
oak, ears of sweet spillenard,- CHINA
mon bark, yellow myrrh, etc. Seating
himself upon this he tapped his wings
with such velocity as to cause the nest
to take fire. After bird and nest had
been consumed q little worm appeared
in the ashes and rapidly developed into
q full-hedged phoenix. The first care
of the new bird was to arrange for the
sepulcher Of his fathers ashes, which
HerOdotus describes as follows:
with the myrrh and other gums it
has amassed the phoenix fashions ball
as large as it can carry. This ball it
hollows out, and in the hollow places
puts the ashes Of its dead parent. The
ball is deposited in the nest, and the
young phoenix carries the whole from
Arabia to Egypt for the purpose Of in
terring its fathers ashes at the city of
the sun Having reached its destina-
tion it lays its burden down upon the
altar of Helois and disappears as mys-
teriously asst had come" The legends
connected with this fabulous bird vary
in some of their details. but all agree
in the statement that only single bird
of the species was living at any one
time.

two feet wide. Instead of a trolley
wire there is a long strip Of iron which
lies between the tracks and supplies
the electricity which makes the cars
move along. On the motor car is the
rheostat, which is an arrangement for
controlling the electric current. BY
using it Archie can make his ears move
rs fast or as slow as he pleases. On this
car also are the motor and the brake,
and also the reversing switch which
makes the car move backward.
At one end of the road is the power
house, where the electricity is pro-
duced. The electric current comes
from small dynamo, which is driven
by petroleum engine. There is also
a shed where the cars are stored at
night and in winter time. In the
power-house everything is arranged
just the same as if it was large sta
ton run by a regular company.
But Archie is the company in this
ease. His road is on the hill by the
side of White Bear lake, and he is the

beautiful complexion is bound to fol-
