Not Hard for One Used to "Toting Bar

An athletic old colored man, who in
his youth was employed in sugar re-
finery in New Orleans, is now helper

Is his duty to give beginners their first
lessons. The school of instruction is in

Uncle Eph may be seen steadying tbs

work is not easy, and only very power

aged but well preserved darby does.
The other day there came a new pupil
to the bicycle store. 1t waa lady past
40, still quite fair but undcniably fat.
She stated her case very diffidently;
said she thought she was past the BIZ
cycle riding age, and that she feared
she would never succeed in mastering
the wheel, but the family doctor had
prescribed a bicycle. So there she was.
1t was Uncle Eph who was assigned
to give her the first lesson. No cavalier
could have been more gallant. He
showed her how to mount and what to
do with her hands and feet. Then for
one Woodworking hour the mighty old
Hercules kept that wheel upright, 20

After the lesson was over the pupil

Tuberculosis In Dairy Herds.

The Connecticut authorities are max.
ing commendable progress in the work
of inspecting the dairy herds of the
state. One of the commissioners applied
the tuberculin test to 1o6 cows in the
town of Washington and 10 of them
were condemned and killed. Ten in one
herd appeared to be sin excellent phys.
ical condition." but the authorities
showed that they were all "well-defined
cases" of tuberculosis. More than 500
cows have been "tested" in Litchfield,
and applications for the inspection of
400 more in that neighborhood ond of
about 1000 in other parts of the state
are on file. The greater part of the
work during the last two or three
months has been done in the district

FRESH DAIRY ITEMS.

Salt is becoming unpopular in butter,
largely because it is suspected of hiding
some defect.
The separator not only gives more
and better butter, but leaves more milk
suited for the calf.
Aerate your milk where the air is
purest only, just as you give the cows
the purest water to be had.
Good bulls of pure breed are very gen
eral now and bull calves of similar
stamp are comparatively cheap.
Bulls tempers are often ruined by
teasing. They should see only their
masters, with stick and ring at that.
Jerseys are still the cows for cream
and butter, but Holsteins are in favor
for cheese and for milk for Market

GIANTS SURVIVED THE FLOOD
Tradition Declares That Others Besides
Noah's Family We're Saved.

Tradition Declares That Others Besides
Noah's Family We're Saved.
Among the many queer stories re.
lated in the old Jewish Talmud is one
concerning the action taken by the great
race of giants at the time Of the delugc
According to Rabbi Eliezer, when tn
flood broke upon the earth, the giants
exclaimed: "If all of the waters of the
earth be gathered together they will
only reach to our waists, and if the
fountains of the great deep be broken
up we will stamp them down again
The same writer, who was one of the
compilers of the Talmud, says that they
actually tried to do this when the flood
finally came. Eliezer says that Og, thei-
leader, planted his foot upon the
fountain of the deep and with his hands
closed the windows of Heaven" Then.
according to this same queer story,
God made the waters hot and boiled thu
flesh from the bones of the naughty
giants" The Targum Of Palestine also
says that the waters of the flood were
hot, and that the skin Of the rhinoceros
lays in folds because he was not allowed
to enter the ark, but saved himself By
hooking his horns under the sides of the
vessel and floating with it. But the wa
ter which was directly under and at the
sides of the ark was not hottie
rhinoceros loosened his skin swimming
from mountain peak TO the side of the
vessel. One account says that Og and
another giant named Lami also saved
themselves by taking refuge in thu
cool water under the edge of the ark's
hull, along with the rhinoceros. One
rabbinac authority quoted by Gould in
his "Patriarchs and PROPHETS" says
that Og saved himself by climbing upon
the top of the ark, and that when Noah
discovered and tried to dislodge him,
he swore to be slave to Noah's family
forever, if allowed to remain.-St. Louii

six feet high at the caves, which is large
enough for the milk of two or three

IL inches deep and IA inches wide at
the top, extends along the north side.
IT has a screen cover, which may be
covered with cloth in very hot or dusty
weather. A table with shelf under

A space just above the level of the tank,
two feet wide and extending on all sides
of the house, is covered with wire

UNIFORM GAME LAWS.

Practical Plan Suggested by the Western
Field and Stream.
Western Field and Stream, published
IN St. Paul, Mimi, presented practica-
BILE scheme for the protection of the
game of the country, which we are in
clined to believe offers a complete So
luton of this much vexed problem, and
it's senior editor, MFR. Charles Hallock,
who devised and formulated the scheme
has also the fullest Endorsement of all
leading naturalists and sportsmen who
have had an opportunity to examine it.
Briefly, it contemplates dividing the en-
tire territory of the United States, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, into two con-
cessions along the line of the 40th par
allel of latitude, or near it, for each of
which there shall be uniform laws and
uniform close time, the whole to be I'M
der the police surveillance of the ma
tional association for the protection of
game and fish through its multifarious
state auxiliaries. The close time for
the northern concession will be from
January l to September /, and in the
southern concession from February l
to September l, during which no shoot
ing shall be allowed on any kind of
game whatever, excepting that wood
cock and shore birds of the order Limi-
colae may be shot in August. The gen.
eral close time for all kinds of inland
fishes, recognized as game fishes, to ex-
tend from October to June /, excepting
that fishes of the order Salmonidae, in
Guiding the trouts, may be caught in
April and May. These close seasons
conform very nearly to the distribution,
habitat, and breeding seasons of the
various fauna which are sought to be
protected; and where they do not es-
pecial exceptions may he made, if
deemed expedient. The laws which are
to dominate will inhere by legislative
enactment; uniform in all the states,
and cooperative throughout. Elmer.
gencies and bodily stress will always
stand in plea for exemption from penal
ty for violation of the laws, when well
proven.
Mr.. Hallock presents his arguments
in very logical and convincing manner,
and he believes that it cannot be long
before this salutary code will be in sue
cessful operation.

THE FOOLISH DAlRYMAN.
Why He Had Naught But Worry, and
Neither Comfort Nor shekels.

Why He Had Naught But Worry, and
Neither Comfort Nor shekels.
And it came to pass that in the sixth
month certain man digged we'll
20 cubits deep. Its walls were of stone,
and when he had built the wall for IS
cubits he had no more stone. And he
sayeth to himself: 1t will do, and fn-
isheth it off with few boards.
And in the tenth month there came
a great flood, and the boards were
washed away and the well caved in, and
1t cost him many shekels before no
could get water again from the well.
The same man buyeth cow, and ne
seeth two cows, one that giveth much
milk and one that giveth not so much.
And he buyeth the one that giveth not
so much milk, for he sayeth she costeth
not so many shekels, and she will do.
When he feedeth the cow he giveth
her not much feed, for he sayeth feed 10
not plenty and she getteth enough.
And when he buyeth milk pail he
buyeth small one, for he sayeth the
cow giveth not much milk.
And it came to pass when he washeth
the milk pail that the water was not hot,
and he sayeth it will do. And when he
selleth the butter he getteth not many
shekels, for the butter was not good.
About this time the wife of this man
sayeth unto her lord: Give unto me
shekels that I may buy myself raiment,
for that which wear is like unto mos
quito netting for holes. And the man
sayeth unto his wife: The weather is
warm and thy raiment will do, for I
have no shekels to give unto thee.
Then the wife of that man answered
him and said: o, foolish man! Dost
thou not know that unless thou doeth
with thy might what thy hand findeth
to do that thy labor is lost? For want
of two cubits of stone in they well the
10 were lost. When thou buyeth cow
that giveth not much milk thou vert
building but 10 cubits. And when thou
giveth her not enough food, and when
thou takest not care of the milk, thou
vert doing the same. o, foolish man!
as for want of two cubits of stone thy
well was lost, so for want of two shekels
in the price of thy cow, and for want OF
two measures of meal, and for want of
two moments of work is all thy profit
in thy butter lost, and thou hast no
shekels.-National Stockman.
