happens to low he is away in an instant
to the pasture to find out what is the
matter. He churns 100 quarts of butter
at time.
Dick takes the 25 cows to the pasture
in the morning and brings them home
at night. In the morning he is frisky,
and allows them to loiter and eat grass
on the wayside, but at night he is in a
great hurry, and if COW stops he butts
away numerically. If one strays away
he will keep all the rest waiting until
he finds the truant, and with a few butts
he chases them all home.

it has been quietly said that the poet
put more in "The Light of Asia" than
his mere admiration for system of
philosophy and religion combined that
won so eminent a man as Prof. Draper
and has more recently won the great
Prof. Huxley. In almost all of Sir
Edwin's writings is found the oriental
spirit, or the mystic touch of the far
east. During his stay in Japan the
emperor expressed his admiration for
the poet by investing him with the or
der of the Rising Sun, and gave him
the dignity of "Chokunin" of the en-
pire. Sir Edwin is no longer young
man. Indeed he may be said to be old,
for he is 65, but he is endeared to the
japanese, who will feel signally hon.
ored by this alliance with the western
expositor of Buddhism.

SIR EDWIN ARNOLD.
His Recent Marriage to a Japanese
Lady Causes Comment.

Sir Edwin Arnold, whose marriage in
London to japanese lady is creating
some comment, has expressed great
love for japan and its people ever since
his residence there some years ago.
The author of "The Light of Asia" was
never backward in freely expressing
his devotion to the people of the orient,
and it is no surprise whatever to those
who know his sentiments that he has
taken an oriental woman to be his life
partner. Sir Edwin has never come out
definitely on the question of his belief
in buddhism. as it is expounded from
the "esoteric" point of view in the gos-
pei of his works on Sakya Morehi, but

Mrs. j. Vail, wife of New York
farmer, thinks her pet lamb, Dick, is
more intelligent than the one Mary
owned. This lamb earns its board and
Mary's did not. His time is divided be-
tween the cows and the dairy. Mrs.
Vail calls Dick when the churning is
ready, and he responds cheerfully. The
big churn has dasher which is con-
nected on the outside of the dairy with
the wheel which Dick turns round and

butter forms the wheel turns harder,
and then Dick works with will, bleat-

For riding long distances, the great
secret is-keep an even, steady pace,
and cut down the stops. Order your
meals to be ready beforehand, if posi-
BILE, and avoid strictly any unnecessary
delays on the way, such as stops for
altering the position of saddle or
handles, which should be placed abso-
lutely right before starting; disrount-
ing to ask the way-which ought to
have been made perfectly familiar by
previous riding over the whole course,
y part at n time-or pauses to extract
small eatables, ETC., from n bag-all
things that may be wanted should be
carried in a light basket fixed upright
on carrier, and easily unfastened with
one hand while riding, says the Irish
Cyclist. The comfort and ease of a long
ride depends immensely on the proper
management OF such small details as
the above.

Cyrus o. ThoEnton, q farmer living q
few miles out OF Bolivar, MaSs., has
an odd w1tch chain. It II made Of hui
man bones. The chain consists Of eight
Links, cash : tri9e more than an inch
long, connected with plated rings. Tho
chain Is about ten inches long and has
been highly polished by years of wear
and glistens like ivory, says the Fau
River News.
Thornton secured the chain ct Peters
burg, Va, in 1854. He was member
of company i, Fiftseth New York en-
gineers. A member OF the Twenty
first New York infantry made two
chains while confined In Libby prison,
and on his release met Thornton and
sold him one chain for $50 in green
bucks. Thornton has forgotten the
makers name. The bones were taken
from amputated arms and legs, and IL
required 10 months time to carve out
the chains. For many, years after he
Cline home from the war Thornton
wore the chain every day, but for sew
eral years he has worm st only on Me-
mortal day and at grand army reunions.
Some of his neighbors laughed at the
idea of the bones being taken from hui
man: bodies, and he sent the chain to a
surgeon, who examined it and pro-
nounced it to be of human bones.

quantity Of game killed by one man.
He is now 35 years old, and during the
past 20 years has averaged $4,000 head
of game each year. On one occasion he
shot at so pheasants in three minutes
and killed all but one of them. He has
killed II tigers, a number of elephants
and rhinoceros, bears and lions.
BETWEEN the ages Of twenty and

time quoted his stock as good for the

there was a good deal Of wealth and
progressive culture. This meant social
pretensions and an adoption of the pop
ular fads as they appeared. l believed,
and still believe, that the successful
politician must be all things to all men.
For this reason / protested the most
profound interest in golf, statesman
ship, yachting, diplomacy, base ball,
music, bicycling, science, business,
church matters, social functions, foot
ball, good horses, bellies, beaux, bores,
and everything else that any portion OF
the people might favor by adoption.
The plain truth is that l knew some
thing less than nothing about many of
these subjects. l couldn't clearly de-
fine the difference between home run
and a cat boat, or tell whether allegro

to be the name of some new sewing
machine attachment. BY looking wise
and saying little managed to gain fav-
or as q good fellow and the patron of
everything worth patronizing. While

casion, l was chosen umpire. Instead

Pliny says that the saw was first in
vented by Daedalus, but according tC
Apollodorus, 1t was the invention Of
Talus, who used the jawbone of a
crocodile to cut through a piece OF
wood, and then made an iron instru-
ment in imitation of it, The saw is
represented on monuments of Egypt
from $500 to 5000 years B. c. AS
early as A. D. 1927 sawmills driven by

this that they were in operation in

Railroad Economy,

The Baltimore and Ohio South West
ern Railway has been experimenting
with electric motors on turntables.
Turning locomotives at divisional
points and terminals is service Of
much annoyance and no little expense
to railroad companies. 1t generally
takes t,our men to turn locomotive,
and while they are doing so their reg
ular work is abandoned.
Experiments were made with an
electric motor on the 60-foot turn
table at Chillicothe with such success
that the Park Street turn-table in
Cincinnati was similarly equipped. The
result has been rather astonishing in
the matter of expense. The current
was purchased from the power plant,
and it cost on an average of less than
one-half cent for each time the table
was turned. When this same table was
operated by hand it cost IL cents for
each engine. The yearly saving ia
about $709.
