Much rye bread was eaten in this

and much rye and Indiana healthful

superseded the huge brick oven in which
the maize ingredient was rendered di-
gestible by being cooked ell night. The
snowy wheaton loaf, as the staple bread
kof the land, dates only back to the cul.

York in the carly part of this century;
and simultaneously there seems to arise

mark of poverty. About 1910 there ap-

The Gambia, Missionary.

There was a fool of a cannihal
Who thought it would be fine
To travel n teach and, may be, preach
In his particular line.
So he set sail for Boston town,
A city by the sea,
And out on the sacred Common
Straight pfoif1enaded he.
He raised his voice In singing
A preliminary hymn,
When up there came a-swingine
A big policeman grim.
Come, come" he said, my laddiabuck,
Now this can't be allowedl
1t Is again the statute
To be gathering a crowd.'
The cannfhal protested.
i. hut all his cries We're vain,
They took him to a sailing craft
And sent him home again.
And now when missionaries come
To teach him what is what,
He takes his heaviest, toughest club,
And in some vital spot,
He slugs that gentle ~missionaire,
And meanwhile he remarks:
WE don't allo no preaching
Not in our public parks!"

SIMPLE EGG TESTER.
No Poultry Keeper Should He withou
Anc nf Than.

No Poultry Keeper should Be Without
Ono of Them.
One thing that is very essential in
Matching by either the artificial or the
natural way is an egg tester. Most
Incubator con panies send a tester with
every machine they sell, free of charge.
For those who are not SO fortunate as
to have one I will tell you how to make
the kind / usc at present. First, saw
off two pieces 16 inches long from q
hard pine board thrse-quarters of an
inch thick aid six inches wide; also
two pieces 16 inches long from a Pine
board nine inches wide and one-half al,
inch thick, marking one with the fig
ure / and the other 2. In one end of
No. / saw three notehcs like the letter
v. About seven inches from one end
of No. 2 bore a hole large enough to
place q piece of thick mngnifying glass
Chose round disk-like glasses found on
the sides of many lantern globes will
do).
The center IF the hole should be seven
inches from tue end, whatever the size
of the hole.
On one side of No. 2 nail around the
hole a square frame of cleats 5x5, the
cleats being an inch square. (See Fig.

about 41ainches square. In the center
of this cut IN oval or e~gg-shaped hole
about 1A inches long and 1 inch

NOTES FOR BEEkEEPERs.

Bees do not like to be handled hastily,
but will 1epel oil quick motions.
We can only secure the best results
in surplus honey from strong colonies.
Foundation for comb honey must be
made very thin and of the best quality
of wax.
All objectionable stock can be kept
from breeding drones by using worker
combs exclusively.
The hives should be raised sufficient
ly from the ground to admit of n free
circulation of air. M
Bees secrete wax only at times, and
when necessary to furnish storage
room for honey or brood.
Alsike clover is a good crop to grow,
especially for the bees and honey. 1t
is n crop that bees benefit.
1t requires the strongest ~colonies to
work for comb honey, and these must
be worked rapidly at the beginning of
the flow.
Bees are much more liable to swarm
If cramped for room. Care in this re-
spect will largely prevent unnecessary
Swarnllng.
1t is best to construct the size of the
hive to suit the size of the colony. This
can readily be done by the use of di-
vision boards.
A swarm of bees will seldom issue if
no queen cells are present. By re1nov-
ing them swarming will be prevented
until new cells are formed.
1t is a mistake to draw from strong
stocks in early spring to strengthen
weak ones. Better put two wesls ones
together and allow good ones to remain.
An examination OF the hive should be
made and all unnecessary brood comb
be removed IS an %oversupply of worth
less drones is very objectionable.-St.
Louis Republic.

THE HABIT OF DREAMING.
Scientists Say 1t Is an Indication of In.
RanIty

4 sanity.
The fullest examination into the ma
ture and origin OF dreams has been made
by M. Moreau, the French scientist.
He divides dreams into the dreams of
health and the dreams that are the re-
suit of the diseased state of the mind
pr body. In regard to the latter il need
1only be remarked that persistent dream
ing is one of the most invariable symp-
toms of insanity, and it is n psychology
ical fact if genius is near allied to mad
less, genius must be expected to dream
more than ordinary men. With regard
to the dreams of health, they are the re-
suit of an imperfect state OF conscious
ness or an imperfect state of sleep, nc.
cording as WI look at it. 1t is obvious
that the mind of the clever man, that's
constantly occupied with many schemes
and thoughts, is more liable to be awake
when his body is asleep than that OF the
dYflard, whose mind is often asleep
-Ahen his body is awake. Thus the
sleep of the plowboy has become pro-
verbal on account OF its undisturbed
nature. In most cases a man o f>lively
imagination and quick brain is undoubt-
edly more liable to dream than tho
dullurd.

BREAKFASTS IN ENGLAND.
They Are Light Affairs ut Which jam IL
an Important Factor.

The usual English breakfast consists
of tea or coffee, bread, boiled eggs, cold
meats aud jams of several kinds, says
Hatpers Bazar. Jams and preserves
are a distinct feature of breakfast over
there. and are eaten with bread as a
second course. The English are in
clined to laugh at us us for what they
call our breakfast dinners, our beefsteak
and fried potatoes and other hearty
things; but | think we can return the
laugh when we often find them MASTER
ing five meals n day of no very light
character, for some of them will sit
down to table at "tea-time' to quite a
solid meal of preserves. cake, toast, cold
meats or sausages, even though dinner
is in no very distant future, and supper
is often in order before one goes to bed,
with more tea and cake and preserves.
There is never a time when tea is not
on tap. One seems to be always eat

While all the air was heavy there
With drifting fumes of odorous spice
