partial receiver might reveal is shown
in the case of the Atchison, Topeka

ceiver, who had been it's president,
never unearthed thing or breathed
a word. 1t was an independent ac-
countant working in the interest Of

and other evidences of clever fnan-
ciering in the Santa Fe's books.

A MISSOURI entomologist informs
the public that quail lady bugs, and
frogs destroy hosts of chinch bugs.
He says that the chinch bug does
not become grandmother in twen-
ty-four hours. AS to so-called locusts,
he says they are harvest flies, and
that only the females do the eating,
the males having no digestive appar-
atus. If female mosquitoes are the
only ones that bite, and female To-
Gusts are the only ones that destroy
crops, is it not we'll to beware little

IT is not very long ago that the
hog was hardly known as a farm
product out of the great corn regions,
but while the porker is becoming less
of a rowing rooter and more civilized
than in the earlier time, he is taking
possession Of all parts Of the land.
In mountain regions West. includ-
ing New Mexico, the idea is to con-
vert alfalfa into pork, and in Califor-
MIA use is made of Egyptian corn,
which is said to make finer grade
of pork than Indian corn.

THE use of corn meal in Europe is
increasing, partly owing to the efforts
our Agricultural Department has
made to increase the foreign demand
for this great American staple. The
Italians are the latest converts to
the new food. They now use corn
meal in making polenta, instead Of
using ground chestnuts, which was
the material formerly employed.
The corn meal is cheaper, and better,
because not so hard to digest as meal
from any kind Of nuts.

CONGREGATION singing is a nr,

CONGREGATIONAL singing is a prop
er and laudable feature of divine
worship. There is something pagan
ish in the spectacle of several hun
dred people remaining silent and pro-
Tossing to praise God through the
medium Of a high-priced quartet
choir. At the same time there should
be an effort to make congregational
singing tuneful rather than discord-
ant, and with this end in view the
recent advice of a Portland. Me-,
preacher is applicable to all churches.

OCCASION" said be, IF those of you
who know how to sing will sing loud
ly, and those who don't know how to
sing will sing low" This seems to fit
the case exactly. The volume of
sound does not by any means indicate
the devotion of the singer. 1t is
merely a rather superiuous guaranty
of good faith.

In some parts of Europe the seed

He ExnIained.

In Washington County, Miss,
which is liable to annual inundation
from the father of waters, dwells old
Jesse D.. On one occasion he was
witness in case, and prefaced his
answer to every question with the
irrelevant remark: "Wa'al, | war
desperately overfowec that year. !"
Annoyed by the constant petition of
this remark, the examining counsel
finally said, in a rather sneering
tone: "Mr. D, will you please
state to the court and jury what YOU
mean by being desperately over
fiowed?'" Strengthening himself up
to his full height-six feet three
and with a drawl Of corresponding
length, he replied: "Wa'al, sir, /
mean thar war too much water for
wagonin' and not enough for boatin'."
The counsel gave it up.

Care of Small Things.

An old Philadelphia tells story
illustrating the manner in which the
sons of the house of DreXel, the we'll
known bankers, were brought up.
Upon one occasion, returning from
the Barbados, he brought back a
considerable quantity of gold and sill
yer tied up in small bags, as was the
custom, and had them carried to the
banking Office of the Drexels for
sale. The bags were emptied out on
the counter, and the coins carefully
counted and set aside in separate
piles, in order to calculate the cor
rect sum for which the bank check
should be drawn. After this was
done old Drexel took from inside his
desk one of the feather quill pens
then generally used, and with sheet
of white paper he slowly swept off
that portion of the counter upon
which the coin had been handled,
and as carefully shook the paper
into a tin box. The deposition could
not see any dust on the paper,
SO he smilingly asked Mr.. Drexel
what was gained by the sweep
ings, and was greatly astonished
at the old gentleman's kindly re-
ply: "Why, young man, it brings
me in a clean profit of one thousand
or fifteen hundred dollars year.

ANAMORPHOSES.
To Produce a Strange Effect with the Aid
of a Basin of Water.

of a Basin of Water.
Opticians sell silvered cylinders
which rectify through reflection the
distorted figures known as anamor-
phoses. The effects Of total reflection
may be observed by immersing an
inverted vessel in water, and a
method of obtaining anamorphic
images may thus be secured.
Fig. l shows the arrangement
adopted by Prof. Thomas Estriche of
the Institute of Barcelona. A glass
vessel very dry in the interior is in
verted in a large bowl with wide
bottom. In order to keep the vessel
at the bottom of the bowl, a weight
is placed upon it, a bottle, for
example, if there is no other object
at hand. We thus obtain an and
morphic mirror. The glass vessel
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1894-08-16

appears fattened through the effect
of refraction. When it is desired to
make use of the glass as a mirror Of
anamorphosis, figures are placed at
the bottom Of the bowl AS these
figures are immersed in water, the
paper upon which they are drawn
must be rendered impermeable. This
is easily done with varnish, or the
figures may be painted in oil upon
canvas.
Fig gives the outline that serves
for making the anamorphic drawing.

The House of Hapsburg.

Rudolph Won Hapsburg, riding to-
his Swiss home from hunting, came
upon a priest carrying the sacrament
to a sick man. The priest on foot
was stopped by a river. Rudolph inn
mediately dismounted, set the priest
and sacrament on horseback, and led
the steed by the rein to the sick
mans house. He declined to take
the horse again to daily use, but gave
it to the priest for the service of the
church.
Remembering this deed, Werner,
Archbishop of Mainz, in 1878, pro-
cured the election of Rudolph as King
Of the Romans and Kaiser. Hence
we have the source and fount Of the
proud imperial house of Hapsburg.
Schiller enhances the legend in ono
of the best Of his ballads, "Der Graf
Won Hapsburg." 1t may be mentioned
that the late heir to the imperia,
throne of Austria was named after
his illustriOus ancestor Rudolph.

A Colt Furnishes a Ram for Cruelty

A Colt Furnishes Ram for Cruelty.
The following is little incident
which came under the observation OF
the writer. Two young horses nave
been kept in a pasture with a num-
Der of COWS and a year old calf, and
they were accustomed to come up tC
the gate every night with the COWS,
the older leading the line, and the
younger bringing up the rear. OW-
ing to want of water in their past
ure some sheep were brought to the
one in which the horses and COWS
were kept, and these sometimes fol-
lowed the COWS when they came at
night to be MIXED. One night they
did so, and when all the animals
were standing together the ram but
ted the calf, which could not defend
itself, and the older colt, going over
to it, seized the ram by the wool on
it's back and lifting it entirely of
the ground, shook it vigorously. He
then placed it on the ground and it
quickly ran away, while the horse
continued to stand guard over his
friend. Our Dumb Animals.
