so that the hay-chute ventilator can be
at the side OF the barn floor; - 't.:& al.
The engraving shows how this conn
bined hay chute: and ventilator, is
made. The posts which support the
floor above the spaces through which
the hay and fodder is dropped into the
manager are. four feet high; -. The
spaces between posts are just the width
OF the horse stalls and two and q half
feet wide. from the barn floor back to
where the. sloping floor rests. Z, This
makes the spaces so large that a, bum
die OF fodder. or a: large forkful Of hay
drops through easily. A board six
inches wide at@the side Of the barn
floor prevents the dust and chaff from
being put down with the feed. The
floor Of the manager below is raised
about six inches above that on which
the horses stand, and this leaves space
enough between it and the. top so that
a man can walk through the manager
to- feed grain or to clean out the
waste which accumulates in it. I
have, such; az manager with a
row. Of COWS, at :; one side and
horses the other; and, while they can
reach to eat all the hay and fodder,
they cannot touch each other, and as

in every way, and in no way more so

quired Charley, with a chuckle.
Helen looked doubtful whether to
recognize this hit, but concluded she
would, sud then went on:
''She does her duty by them very
thoroughly and very raspingly, poor

it work ed lots better. But doesn't it
seem tragic for good, superior woman
to be taking up her cross daily and de-

''Are you going to write her an an

II wish I could wish could do

It was much later in the day that
Charley's idle words came back into
Helen's mind with some sort of seri-
business. She was passing a counter
loaded with Easter cards, of which Que

{. In the preparation Sof fine tcornnaal
for the: market the tough skins Of the

corn bran, which comprises one-eighth
Of the weight Of the shelled corn
ground in the mill. The chemical an
.alysis Of corn bran, BY 6. !. Teller, Of
the Arkansas station, shows that it
contains eleven per Cent. Of nitrogen
sous matter, while the whole corn con-
tains over nine per cent, and the
;bolted corn -four nine per cent. The
amountsof fat'is nearly doubled In the
bran, being eight and 6ne-haH per
cent, on account of the oil in the seed
coats. The corn bran contains d higher
percentage of crude protein and ash,
four times as much fiber, but less
voter and much less starchy matter.
This analysis Indicates that corn bran
has food value nearly equal to that
of wheat bran, though the stiffness at

THE MYSTERY OF CANCER.

A Disease That .st,ll Baiiies the Efforts OF
What may be the agent directly the
causation Of cancer, what its nature
and life history, is a problem that, thus
far, has eluded all attempts at solu.
tion.sf The experiences Of clinical OBJ
servers, accumulated throughcenturies,
had: made the medical profession
thoroughly - familiar with the
symptoms: and physical. signs Of
the dreaded disease; but, this knowl-
edge concerned the results ather than
the causation ofeancer, and little prog
ress had been made toward successful
treatment. Many and divers theories
We're put forth to account for its exist
ence; none We're able to meet all the
conditions required: aud cancer was
accepted as disease incurable. The
advent of the microscope practically
created scientific pathology. The use
of instruments of precision rendered
possible greater progress toward solu
ton within decade than had been ac-
complished during all the centuries
preceding. Pathological anatomy has
informed us of the elements, structure
and evolution of the morbid condition:
1t has shown us what cancer is. 1t has
not make manifest its primal cause.
The objective has taught us what is
the most valuable and accurate of our
pathological knowledge. But investi-
CATION has now attained APPOINT beyond
which the microscope cannot penetrate,
and other methods are necessary to-
supplement and complete it's reyela-
tons. We have learned nothing as to
the causation of cancer, nothing as to
it's prevention, nothing as to it's cure.

Strange Incident OF the Mails.

and sealed them, as is her custom; with

takes in the. wax. Called suddenly
from the room, these letters were soon
after posted by a servant in the nearest
box, and not till then did the owner Of
the rare coin miss it from the table.
The room was searched, and finally the
maid dispatched to await the letter
collector on his, next round. But he
declared nothing had been seen Of any
such seal, and then the search began
indoors again, but with no better luck.
A few days after this lady received a
letter from Canada sealed with the ia
miliar Moorish hieroglyphics. The
mystery was soon explained, for on
opening the envelope it was learned
that this heavy seal had stuck to the
letter sent from Boston, and, though
passing through so many hands, had
arrived intact, to the great astonish-
ment of the recipient. VI. :, :.
