+. Leyison Ogilvie, Who has for

The Call. He says that when he
went to the islands he was inclin-
ed to be strong royalist, but is
now Thoroughly convinced that
the presentieorm of the Hawaiian
Government is best for sall con-
cerned and could hardly be i'm

of them taking up arms against

lack executive ability and the

Among the members of the

William, built at Quebec in 1880
and 1881, the first vessel to cross
the Atlantic under steam, was Sir
Samuel Cunard, OF Halifax, Nova
Scotia, who followed up this Can.
adian enterprise by building four
steamships in 1888, the Britannia,
Acadia, Caledonia and the Column
bia, which formed the first of the
splendid feet that since has been
known as the Cunard line. 1t
is the boast of this company thpt
during iifty-six years, IN which
their vessels have transported
people continuously to and fro
between Europe and America, it
never lost the life of a passenger.
In an address recently given by
Mr.. Sandford Fleming, @. M. G.,
before the Royal Colonial Insti-
tute, a comparison of the Britain

ed in 1910, with the latest Cunard
liner, the Bucania, launched in
1893, is made in order to show the

She Attracts Birds

Among the many peculiarities of that beautiful woman the empress of Aus tria one of the most romantic features of the present era is her strange infiu- ence over birds, which, were she of more humble rank, might prove per- feet gold mine to her. This power, nev- CT heretofore described in print, is known to few outside the court circle of Austria-Hungary, yet nothing is more wonderful than to see the birds flocking from every quarter around the empress the very moment she sets foot ill the gardens of Lainz or Schoenbrun, but es- pecially at the latter place. There are many ornamental pieces of water at Schoenbrun, and all sorts of valuable birds, such as Australian swans, Chinese ducks, Tibetan pheasants and birds of paradise, are permitted to roam at will through this splendid domain. They all know the empress and are subject to her power, as are also the wild birds, even down to the ordinary sparrow. They gather around her, each uttering its own peculiar cry, while the pigeons and smaller birds alight on her shoulder and arms.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Johanna Ambrosius,

The Prussian peasant poetess Johal- na Ambrosius will soon be enabled to have her small house. which threatened to collapse, repaired. A subscription and several entertainments held for her benefit realized almost 7,500 marks. Originally it was proposed to build a new and modest but solid building for Frau Ambrosius, but this intention was abandoned upon the urgent request of the poetess herself. She does not wish anything for herself, she says, and her greatest desire is to have her two chil- dren enter the world under more favor able conditions than fell to her in her own private life. She will, therefore, be satisfied to have the thatched straw roof on her present small homestead simply repaired. This will take but a comparatively trifling amount of the sum raised for her, while she will in- vest the balance in way to have lit tie fund for rainy day and for the fu- ture education of her children. The com mittee having the funds collected in charge decided to agree to this unselfish and reasonable request of the peasant DOeteSS

Wheat in Drills,

Nearly all winter wheat is no;4 sown by the drill. There are many advan- tages In this method of putting In the crop over broadcasting. Not the least of these is that it affords so good op- portunity to drill mineral fertilizers in contact with the seed where they will greatly stimulate it's early growth. But the most important advantage is that the drill leaves the wheat in hol- low where it can be slightly protected against all but the severest freezes. The ridge each side of it is mellowed by the frost, and when rains come it is washed down over the wheat roots. This is greatly helped by narrowing the wheat early in the spring so soon as the ground is dry enough.

this country than they are in Europe. We get our ideas of what the grape vine needs by seeing the wild vines in woods climbing to the tops of high trees and bearing their best fruit at the highest point American grape vines require more room than is usually giv- en them. In Europe the vineyards are set in checks like our corn fields. with a vine tied to stake not more than four to five feet high, and each bearing only few punches of fruit. We have seen many grape vines, each of which covered a large trellis and bore two to three bushels of fruit every year. Such vines if rightly managed and pruned keep in better condition than those that are restricted for room. In most vineyards that we have seen, the owner after a few years wishes that the vines were twice as far apart as they are

PASTOR ATFOURTEEN
REV. HENRY VAN corr BANTA A CHILD WHEN CALLED TO PREACH.

Has Been Two Years Clergyman-Called
 to Take Charge of a Church by the Peo-
 plc of shallotte. N. C.-Now Visiting Tn Brooklyn.
 The Rev. Henry Van Cott Banta. aged 16, is a full f1edged, ordained minister of the southern conference of the Metho- dist Episcopal church. He is the pastor of church in Shallotte, N. O. He was raised in Brooklyn-that is, he has lived there more years than he has lived any where else.
 The Rev. Henry Van Cott Banta is Q frail youth. He appears to be not more than 12 years old. He is hollow chested, with pale complexion. His eyes are a light blue, his mouth small, his lips very red. He has thoughtful brow, and he parts his hair far on one side. Just now the boy pastor is visiting his parents in Brooklyn.
 When you first meet the Rev. Van Cott Banta, he approaches you with an air of great dignity. He holds his head slightly on one side. He smiles in an encouraging way. He has the ecclesias- tical handshake, which consists in grasp ing hand firmly and pressing it with out moving it up or down.
 The boy pastors father, John W. Banta, was a Methodist preacher who has retired and is now engaged in liter ary work in the Bible house ill this city. Occasionally he goes on an exhorting trip. The Rev. Henry was born in Kingston, Ont. His parents took him to Brooklyn when he was a baby. so he calls himself Brooklyn boy. When the boy pastor was little chap. his brother let him fall, injuring his left knee so that he will be lame all his life. A part of the time he is compelled to use crutches. He underwent an operation in the Seney hospital few years ago.
 About two years ago his father start ed on an evangelizing tour through Ohio, and as Henry was in delicate health, it was decided that he should go along. In Ohio the elder Banta joined western evangelist named Hygema, and the three travelled. like gypsies, in big covered wagon, holding forth wherever they could get an audience. The small and delicate Henry was converted in a small town in Ohio.
 His father and the other evangelist decided to make an attack on the moon- sinners in the Blue Ridge mountains. At this point the young pastor says: It was in log cabin in the trackless pine forests of North Carolina that l preached my first sermon. The cabin was owned by man named Gainey, who claimed to be IA years old. :"
 When the peregrinating preachers reached Shallotte, N. o., which is about 40 miles south of Wilmington. the boy preacher met with remarkable success. The congregation of the church at that time was troubled with pastor who was accused of being too varied in his affections. They liked Henry so well that they invited the frail, pale boy to become their pastor, and he accepted He has been in charge for two years. They have given him parsonage and horse and wagon. He is known for miles around as powerful exhorter. He was ordained in the church where he breaches, and was regularly admitted to the southern conference. New York World

Women Advocatinx Cleanliness.

The Women's Civic league of Cincin- nati has attemped to bring about many reforms in the manners aud customs of the Queen City. Last spring the league made an urgent appeal to the board of administration for sand piles to be scat tered over the city that the children might play in them. Later the league suggested to the mayor that cuspidors be placed along the edge of the side walks so that men might expectorate in- to them. Recently one of the members of the league, while riding on street car, saw a policeman who was chewing tobacco and squirting the saliva on the floor. This lady reported the incident to the league. The women addressed an appeal to the mayor, and his honor Mayor John M. Caldwell issued an or der to the police force, forbidding ex- pectoration either on street cars or on the sidewalks. The Women's Civic league is becoming powerful political agency in municipal affairs. Chicago Chronicle.

German Women Aritatinx.

A great agitation is, Berlin core
 spondent says, being carried on among women in Germany, having for its ob- ject the issuing of a general protest against different clauses of the new civ ic code which has just been submitted to the reichstag. AS regards the civil law, women ill Germany have occupied a rather inferior position. and the hopes that the new code would redress their grievances have proved fallacious. A married woman, for instance, has. if no special contract has been made, no right to dispose of her own fortune without the permission of her husband. More over, the latter is solely entitled to ad- ministrate and to have the usufruct of her money, even of that which she earns. Every financial transaction enter ed upon by woman without the knowl- edge and consent of her husband can be cancelled. Except in few cases, women are unable to act as guardians. They are also excluded from family councils and so on. All this has led to a petition to parliament but it is doubtful whether it has much chance of being accepted.

Pnmperinx Young Pigs.

The young pig should have enough feed to maintain thrift, but he should not be fed as if he were being fatten- ed. The digestion of young pigs is weak. and if overfed at this time, es- pecialIy with corn, they will become stunted and never prove profitable an- imals. The feed for young pigs should not be concentrated. Give them a small proportion of grain and wheat middlings, with enough milk and dish water to distend their stomachs and keep their digestion in gsod condition. A pig should be eight or nine months old before it will be safe to feed it heavily with corn.

Loss in Clover Ensilage.

One thing which causes the loss with clover ensilage is that clover is rath- er nitrogenous plant, says the Indiana Experiment Station, and often heats in the silo to high degree, which caus- es the passing off of large amount of fre-fanging, much the same as occurs in q pile of horse manure; at least that has been my experience in ensiloing it.. If sufficient water be used upon 1t, the heat is reduced and the ensilage is preserved. It will be necessary for the person filling the silO to watch pret- ty carefully, and if the temperature rise above 135 degrees, to keep water we'll poured on the surface. l do not think that any injurious results will arise from the application of water. We have ensilage here, and have re- ceived no results other than beneficial ones

Feeding Corn.

Corn is one of the foods that are too rich in the heat and fat producing elements, says the Ohio Farmer. It needs something that contains more of the bone and muscle-forming ele- ments to make it good ration. Now, the scientist tells us that the excess of carbohydrates will be stored up in the system as fat This Is, In a measure, true. But all of us common hayseedS know that in practice, if an animal be fed an exclusive corn diet, the stor- lng-up process goes right on all right for time. Then the appetite becomes clogged, there is a discouraglng check in growth, and the animal takes m un- thrifty appearance.
 Something besides corn should be fed as the grain ration, for the sake of variety if for no other reason. Relish has a great influence on digestion, and an animal will not eat with a good rel ish when fed on a single food for any great length of time.

Asks Questions on Several Questions In-
 teresting to Many Readers.
 We are bitterly complaining of for eign papers and persons on account of their criticisms and reproaches. but it surely must be difficult for foreigners to understand us. We neglect to stop the preparations for criminal raid by cur own people, and then run after the raiders with message to return, only just in time te save ourselves from the charge of complicity, and we extol the sender of the message apparently for be. ing too late. We repudiate the raiders, and then sharply resent any offers of congratulations to those who succeeded in stopping them. We more than half treat the raiders cause as our own, pub fish ill the leading journal our poet lau- reate's hysterical and rowdy praise of them. and generally go on the bounce against "the enemy" and insult the people our own men have so grievously wronged. No wonder the foreigner finds it difficult. I find it difficult myself, and tens of thousands of people in Eng land are finding it specially difficult to understand why MT.

Vary the Diet of Cows.

Milk is composed of certain solids and water, and, to produce it, we must give cow such foods as contain these clements; that is, nitrOgenOus foods, says the Connecticut Farmer. Those which make fat will not produce milk, nor are they of much value for manur- ial purposes. Another point: Do not make the mistake of giving every COW in the herd the quantity or the same formulated ration. One cow will re- spond in milk, another will not; one will digest it all, another will not. And still another point: Give the cow, if you possibly can. variety. She relishes a change, and, if it is proper one, will do better for it. None of us want pie at every meal, although the pie be ever so good; so with the COW, she likes an occasional change in her diet. Give 1t to her,
