Beginnings of .cNobility.,

Some Of the noble houses of England,
which, however, are none the worse for IL
IN the present generation, have had very
humble if not discreditable beginnings
An ancestor of the Earl of Ferrers was
hanged for murder at Tyburn. The father
Of the first Earl Of Lonsdale and ancestor
Of tho late governor general Of Canada,
James Lowther, was miser celebrated In
English story
AT n time when his income was about
e40, 900 n year Lowther was In the habit
of dining at one of the cheapest and OBJ
scurest eating houses In London. He visit
ed this place, as he supposed, I'm cog. !"
but having left it In high dudgeon because
the price of certain articles had been adj
vanced a farthing on the bill Of fare he
was astonished to find himself lampooned
soon afterward as 'Farthing Jimmy"
A striking case was that Of the house Of
Audley, now extinct. The father Of the
first Lord Audley was one Philip Thick
nesse. The son having got on famously in
the world, the ne'cr do-well father trou-
bled him so often for money that he at last
refused to give any.
Thereupon the old man proceeded to hire
cobbler's shop in London near his son )
mansion, and above the door caused TO be
painted in large letters this sign, "Old
shoes mcndcd by Philip Thicknesse father
Of Lord Audley."
This sign produced the effect which the
unscrupulous old man had intended, and
he was able to withdraw from business"
very promptly. Youths Companion.

OPEN THE WINDOWS.
bleep In Rooms Which Are Fairly Flooded
With Fresh Air.

The ancient prejudice against night air
Is dying out. People generally are coming
to believe that since it Is the only kind TO
DO had for 10 or ~ hours out OF "a it Is
wise to make the best Of 1t and not try TO
use over again that which has been doing
duty for hours before. People for the most
part sleep with their windows open, but
the impression seems to prevail that the
smaller the opening the better. From two
10 four inches at the top seems TO be tho
favorite eXpanse, and on damp night this
Is promptly closed.
The wider the opening is the better for
the sleeper. a room flooded with fresh air
during the night even though It be trife
cold in consequence, is much TO be pre-
ferred to room into which the fresh air
has been allowed only to filter Extra bed
clothes are the solution of the difficulty
about temperature, and paper screen,
costing 81 or less, will protect the sleeper
from direct draft. The woman whose
lungs are allowed TO FIJI themselves with
fresh air when they arc In their least re-
strictod and compressed state Is the wom-
an who is going TO laugh headaches to
scorn and forget the meaning of lassitude.
Damp air Of course is not so pleasant q
thing TO fiji the room and ones lungs
with, but damp air, fresh from out Of
doors, Is certainly 20 be preferred to an
cient, much breathed indoor air. The
window should be opened as much as on
other nights unless there is danger Of the
rain beating IN. The protection against
taking cold must take the form Of extra
bedding, a screen and, If one is suscepti-
bic to dampness, some sort of a modernized
nightcap. Even damp night air is robbed
Of many Of it's terrors by such simple pre-
cautions.
The benefits that result from wide open
bedroom windows are many. The lungs
have breathed what they should breathe
all night. The blood receives its proper
amount of oxygen and is prepared to do
its work better The morning finds the
sleeper brisk, alert and hungry. And all
these things mean much TO women. They
mean even temper, good digestion, control
Of nerves and, what some women count as
greatest blessing Of ALL good complexion.
Every woman should have at her bed
side a pair Of crochetcd or knitted slip
pers, which she may slip on as soon as she
arises. a warm bath robe should be con-
veniently near, so that even If burglars
come or the children develop Group in the
middle of the night she may be warmly
and comfortably even If simply clad for
more colds result from hasty barefoot runs
from nursery TO bedroom than from all the
open windows in city. - New York

The Russian Thistle.

In view Of the fact that the Russian
thistle is rapidly invading the north
west it is recommended through a bulle-
tin from the Nebraska station that the
residents of every neighborhood cooper
ate to keep down any foreign weeds
that may appear. Wherever waste land
is left unoccupied thistles and other
weeds are apt to spring up. To prevent
this the soil should be cultivated thor
oughly up to August, when the chances
are pretty poor of the weeds getting a
foothold. Wherever the weeds appear,
even with or without this cultivation,
they should be cut down with a mower
before they have had time to 90 to seed.
The cutting should be done in all cases
before the weeds have blossomed

HOW TO IRRI0ATE.
The Main Canal-Subsidiary Canals-Mis-
takes Made by beginners.


The canal must be extended entirely
across the highest limo Of the field, and
from 1t burrows should be struck out
along the direction of the lightest grade
and at distances, say, of about 20 feet
apart Then cross burrows should be
plowed in the opposite direction and at
tho same distances The field will now
be cut up into series of squares formed
by the burrows.
Now open the main canal with shov-
ell opposite the head Of each of the first
plowed burrows and regulate the flow
Of water SO that it shall DO equal in
each This may be done with stones,
bits of board, handfuls of weeds, brush,
ETC., placed In the openings to prevent
an undue quantity Of water finding its
way through any one aperture and so
washing gullies in the soil. 1t is here
that the beginner in irrigation is apt to
err the most. He reasons that if little
water is good great deal must be bet
ter, and so he turns on full head, Let's
the stream get away from him, and
soon he has his field quilted and washed
in the most unsightly and destructive
manner. A small stream handled i'm
properly will do a surprising amount Of
damage in very short time.
Where the supply canal is large and
the banks thick it is we'll to divert the
water from it in only one place, says o
writer in The Irrigation Age. A shall
low subsidiary canal may be made par
allel with it, into which sufficient wa
ter is allowed to flow TO supply the
burrows. 1t is very easy for stream to
get beyond the control of the irrigator,
and in order to prevent this he must
watch the aperture in the canal bank
closely and take measures to prevent
this In the most primitive forms of ir-
rigation the shovel is relied upon entire
ly for regulating the flow of water, but
a step in advance is made by putting in
wooden boxes at such places, with a
simple gate or board sliding between
upright cleats, by which the exact
quantity of water desired may be di-
verted without danger that much will
force its way through.
With q uniformly level field cross
furrowed in the ma, ner indicated and
the water allowed to run steadily, but
not in too great volume one man with
shovel can regulate the spread Of the
water so that each portion shall be thor
oughly saturated. OF course, if there
are elevation or knolls, they must be
leveled so that the water may reach ev-
cry portion Of the ground.

The Aerial Power of Birds,

1t has been shown that the wing area Of
the different flying creatures varies from
about 40 square feet per pound of weight
In the gnat and 3 square feet in the swal-
low TO half n square foot per pound Of
weight in the Australian crane. The frig.
ate bird has the most wonderful wing
power Of any Of the flying animals, being
able 20 cut the air at the rate of 100 miles
an hour and live continually on the wing
day and night for week or 10 days. Or
nithologists of note even give it as their
opinion that n healthy individual of this
species would be equal TO the task of max
ing trip around the world without once
closing its wings in rest 1t is also claim
ed that some species can remain motion
less in the air for hours without tapping
their wings. That they can exert three
times the horsepower per pound of weight
that man can, and about the same
amount more than horse. 1t is without
question, a fact that birds in general can
exert physical energy that is without par
allel in nature. 1t is generally supposed
that birds are lighter, bulk for bulk than
other animals, but repeated experiments
have proved that there are no grounds
upon which TO base such an opinion.

ABOUT TUBERCULlN.
What 1t Is and How To Detect the Presence
of Tuberculosis.

What 1t Is and How to Detect the Presence
of Tuberculosis.
Much has been said and written
against the use Of the tuberculin test,
some going so far in their opposition to
it as to claim that it actually inoculated
tho treated animal with tuberculosis.
But all the veterinarians whom / have
questioned declare that it is an almost
infallible test; that when it was first
made and used it was not always prop
erly made and did sometimes fail, but
now 1t is of such uniform strength and
purity that it does not fail III one case
In several hundred. That it cannot COM
municate the disease becomes evident
when we know that it is not the active
germ that is used, but simply the poi
son after the germs have been killed by
heat and the fluid passed through q
germproof filter. Its manner of use is
first to take the temperature of the an
imal two or three times, so as to be sure
to get the average Of its temperature,
and then inject n small quantitv Of tu-
berculin diluted in 81 per cent of boiled
water to which about per cent of car
bolic acid has been added. This is in
jected under the skin. Usually the shout
der is selected, though it makes no diff
ference where
In nine hours the temperature is TAX
en- again and thence once III two hours
until IS hours after the injection If no
tuberculosis be present no rise Of tenn
perature will take place, but if the dis
ease be present a decided rise will CO.
cur. If the temperature go above 1913. q
degrees and the animal look unthrifty,
it should be quarantined and III few
days again tested Whenever the tenn
perature has gone to 1913. degrees, none
has ever been found which did not show
clear evidences Of the disease on dissec-
ton.
In the larger number Of animals kill
ed tubercles have been found in the
lungs. In some there We're mono III the
lungs, but were in various glands of
the body, or sometimes i'll the intestinal
canal or in the uddcr In one case in
Binghamton a COW had a tubercle in her
udder which, on being taken out weigh
ed 56 pounds.
1t seems TO me that the common sense
way of looking at this situation is not
to berate the veterinarians as a set of
thieves, or to treat it as fad, or to try
to belittle the danger, but to meet the
issue like sensible men. We know that
it exists. We know that it Is contagious.
We know that it Is dangerous TO human
life. We ought to know that the cheap
est way to eradicate it is to do it quick
ly. We ought then to take every precau-
ton against its spread and to ask the
government to treat it the same as it
did plouropneuomnia and stamp it out as
quickly and effectually as it did that. -
