Many years ago the farmers of Aus
tralia imported bumblebees from Eng
land and set them free In their clover
fields. Before the arrival Of the bees
clover did not flourish in Australia, but
after their coming the farmers had no
more difficulty on that score. Mr. Dar-
win had shown that bumblebees were
the only insects fond Of clover nectar
which possessed a prOboscis sufficiently
long to reach the bottom of the long,
tubelike flowers and at the same time
body heavy enough to bend down the
clover head so that the pollen would fall
on the insects back and thus be carried
off to fertillZe other flowers Of the same
species. According to writer in POpu-
lar Science News, the bumblebees sent to
Australia cost the farmers there about
half a dollar apiece, but they proved to
be worth the price.
A London dispatch to the New York
Herald states that Captain Henry Ark
wright, guide and two pOrters were
killed by an avalanche on the grand
plateau of Mont Blanc in October, 1866.
The bodies of the guide and the pOrters
were found after a week, but Captain
Arkwrights body was only recovered
from the ice on Sunday last, 5000 feet
below where he died. All except the
feet and head were recovered. The right
hand was marvelously lifelike. The ice
had preserved in it the red tint Of blood
From the pocket Of his gray waistcOat
was drawn white, blue-bOrdered hand
kerchief, as good as new, with his name
On it. The deceased officers collar had
in it gold stud, and in his shirt front
was larger one set with a diamond
star. The debris of silver cigarette
case were in his pocket and his gold
watch and chain were on the ice near
where the body was found.
A three-weeks-old boy baby was sent
alone by rail last week from Clear Lake,
Iowa, to Sloan Springs, Ark 1t was

the basket was nursing bottle and
changes of clothing. Attached to the
basket Was the following card directed
to conductors: "Be kind enough to see
that the little orphan has necessary at
tentiOn and sign your name and ad-
Dress" There was nothing in the basket
to tell who had been the child's parents
OF who had sent it from Clear Lake,
Iowa, but the following letter was found:
ITO Kind-Hearted Mothers:-This little
orphan is on it's way to a home among
strangers. Please care for it as you
wish your own to be cared for. See
that it Is comfortable and does not go
hungry. Any clothing that becomes too
much soiled may be thrown away The
basket contains changes. Thanking you
in advance for what know you will do

In catarrhal inflammation, in chronic
displacements common to women, where
there are symptoms Of backache, dizzi-
ness or fainting, bearing down sensa-
tions, disordered stomach, moodiness,
fatigue, etc., the trouble is surely dis
PEELED and the sufferers brought back to
health and good spirits by the use Of DR..
Pierce's FavOrite Prescription. It's the
only medicine for wOmen's peculiar all

physician-an experienced expert in this
special field Of practice, and sold through
druggists. It's sales exceed the combined
sales of all other medicines of its class.

Aluminium Halrptns,

New York Sun: Aluminium wire is
made Of various sizes and used for a
variety of articles. Among it's newer
uses is the manufacture of doors and
window screens. When exposed to the
weather such screens do not rust.
Aluminium wire is used in the manu-
facture of hairpins. In few cases in
this city aluminium wire has been sold
to put on roofs for use as clothes lines.
The wire sold for this purpose was
No. gauge, which costs 60 cents a
pound, and 1000 feet of which weighs
tWenty-four pounds.
Aluminium pigs sell now at about
~ cents pound, which is about half
the price of a year ago. The sale of
manufactured articles of aluminium is
all the time increasing, and thin gs in
great variety are made from it.

What Mary Gave.

She gave an hour of patient care to
her baby sister who was cutting teeth.
She gave a string and crooked pin
and great deal of good advice to the
three-year-old brother who wanted to
play at fishing. She gave Ellen, the
maid, precious hour to go and visit
her sick baby at home, for Ellen was a
widow, and left her child with it's
grandmother while she worked to get
bread for both. She could not have
seen them very often if our generous
Mary had not offered to attend the
door and look after the kitchen fire
while she was away. But this was not
all Mary gave. She dressed herself so
neatly, and looked so bright and kind
and obliging, that she gave her mother
a thrill of pleasure whenever she
caught sight of the young, pleasant
face she wrote letter to her father,

New England has proven practically
futile. But in Maryland's rural dis
trlcts they are coming out fat and
plentiful. A Maryland authority says
this of the outlook:
Several causes have been combined
TO produce this result. Last season
there was a marked scarcity of birds
and sportsmen went elsewhere, leav-
ing the cartridges unmolested. Follow
ing this was the mild winter, In which
very few birds persisted, and then,
came a season in which the birds have
had an abundance of food and shell
ter. The deputy game wardens, too,
have played an important part. They
have seen to it that the game laws
have been fully enforced, and thus few
birds have been killed out of season.
The State Game and Fish Protective
Association has brought into Mary
ltand and distributed this year some
thing like 1000 birds, and these have
all done we'll. AS is we'll known, a very
large number Of Western quail were
brought to Maryland in the past two
Or three years, for the purpose of re-
'plenishing the decimated eoveys, and
now the indications are that the expe
riment is proving successful. The

CHURCH MUSIC IN ROME,
The Opposition to Any Reform Is Very
-. ,r'" Strong.

The Opposition to Any Reform Is Very
Strong.
The question of the character of the
music to be performed in religious SER
vices has again come, to the front for
discussion, says the London Standard.
At the recent. congresses held at Ven
ice, Milan and other places a strong
feeling has been expressed that the
time has come for return to true
church music-that is to say, to the
Gregorian chant and to the compost
tons of Palestrima and his school. The
Congregation of Rites" has several
times revised the rules which regulate
religious services and the music by
which those services are accompanied
But in spite of all the efforts of this
body during a considerable period. the
opposition to any reform presented by
the rectors and chapters of the basili-
cas- and churches of Rome, and, above
all, by the kapellmeisters who are in
fluenced by the musical art of the de-
cadence, has been so strong that all
the directions of the congregation of
Rites" have been of no avail. Some
five years ago a writer in the Civilta
Cattolica, the famous Jesuit review;
one Father de Samti, who is perfectly
de courant in everything relating to
musical criticism, led a vigorous cam
paign against all the ecclesiastical mu-
sic of Rome, not even excepting the
spirit and in so lively a style that the
kapellmeisters of the basilicas, the or
ganists and the singers, attacked in
their own strongholds, besought the
Intervention of the superior authority.
They demanded that silence might be
Imposed upon a displltant so bold as
TO suppose that he could raise his
voice against an integral part of the
ecclesiastical organization r of Rome,
which had resisted so many efforts Of
others, including Liszt, who, in the
time Of Cardinal Antonelli, failed in
all his labors to degenerate the relig-
ious music in the Roman churches
Father de Santi was accordingly ex-
PEELED from the Eternal city and the
Civilta Cattolica ceased to write about
music. When, at a later period, the
fiery Jesuit obtained permission to re-
turn to Rome, to his rooms in the Via
Respetta, it was on the condition that
he should neither write nor Dispute up
| on musical matters, nor enter the
places where the music of the mass
was being taught or practiced. Now
| it has come to pass that Cardinal
Aloisi Masella, the intolerant project
of the rites, has been removed to the
pope's chancery, d~he is succeeded
by Cardinal Mazzella of the Jesuits.

Too Much Grain Food.


At this time of year we hear a great
deal about indigestion, and will hear
more about it as the season grows
colder and the birds are more closely
confined For several years we have.
had no trouble in this direction, for we
have followed the plan of giving a.
breakfast of soft food scalded the
night before and allowed to cook by it's
own heat over night. We believe this
to be a complete preventative of indi-
gestion. The feeding of corn through
the whole year, or; in fact, the feed
ing of any grain continuously, will
bring on indigestion. The indigestion
will make itself manifested in various
ways. One of these is in the form of
constipation, the bird apparently keen
ly suffering. The owner too often does
not know that anything is the matter,
but he would, if he inspected his poul-
try, find that such birds showed no in
clination to run about, preferring to
sit down or to hover in some sheltered
position. This stage is followed by
that of great looseness, and the poultry
man frequently thinks he has cholera
in his flock. The third stage is that
where the coop becomes filled with
sour, rancid, bad-smelling food and
water. 1t will generally be found that
when this stage is reached the case is
hopeless, which is frequently true in
the second stage. The whole trouble is.
in the feeding.

Of which hunters say there has been
large increase of late years in Con-
necticut, bat which do not seem to
have killed many cartridges.
But the Atlantic coast counties OF
the Middle South furnish the most va
ried sport in the way of partridge
shooting just now. The party, should
consist of at least five or six good
sportsmen. When the partridge terri
tory is reached the party divides itself
into sections of three. Two act as
drivers, three as center and two rs
outside men, generally stationed close
to the coast line. And then the typ
ical partridge hunt begins
A covey of cartridges sweep over
the sea bank on the left of the line, as
if they had sprung out of the ocean,
and settle in the rushes some ninety
yards from the guns. Ten to one they
will go back before the drivers come
up, but hardly have they settled when
are heard from the gun farthest from
the shore two shots, and a pair-pos-
sibly a barren PARTIAL neatly, one
in front and the other behind the
somewhat high fence under which the
coast gunners are standing. Up gets
the covey, and hemmed in by the sea-
come over the outside gun of the shore
end Of the line. Startled, two of them
break off from the rest when the first
bird of the covey falls, and skim on
as far as eyes can reach across the
sea.
Now the white flags are waving in
the distance and birds are pouring on,
sometimes singly, sometimes in COW
eys. The three center guns are having
more than they can do, and the outside
guns by the shore, who might have
been expected to have had a some
what poor drive, have had as many
birds as anyone else. The drivers
| come gradually closer, and the bags
ought to be fairly well-filled if the
sportsmen know their business.
Walking up cartridges has many
charms, and to properly organize driv-
ing you must first have looked over

knowledge of your ground under every
conceivable condition. If you know

swift or slow advancement to fortune,
position and reputation from meager
and unpromising beginnings. Every
man who, unaided by family influence
and fortune makes his way to the front
by honorable industry and well direct
ed ability, is hero in the eyes of
youth-a hero who has sustained the
test of manhood, met the conditions of
worthy success, and passed victorious
ly the obstacles which lie in every path
to fortune. Whenever such man
tells the story of his success, he re-
veals the qualities which have brought
him influence, reputation and prosper
ity, and demonstrates again the fami-
liar truth that a mans fate lies in his
character and not in his conditions;
that heroic resolve, unshakable pur-
pose, and courageous devotion are not
at the mercy Of accident and the ca
price of circumstances, but work their
way and their will to the victorious
end. When the story of such life is
told, the eternal romance of all noble
striving pervades it; that romance
which shines upon the world in the
eyes of each succeeding generation of
youth, and which draws every ardent
spirit with irresistible insistence. For
the promise Of life, intelligently under
stood. is never broken to those who
are willing to meet the conditions o1
it's fulflment; it is broken only to those
who misread it or who fail to stand
the tests which it imposes. The ro'
nance of the successful career lies II
the contrast between it's meager prom.
Use and it's noble achievement; be-
tween the materials with which it hat
to deal and the imperishable uses Il
which those materials have beer
put.

by the Atlanta Constitution: A Geor-

but is too modest to submit it for pub

was going to town, he took a bundle
of poems along with: him and handed
them to an editor. "They're pretty

Cotton Seed Meals.

Charles D. Woods, director of the
Maine experiment station, says: Much
has been said and written relative to
the use of cotton-seed meal as cattle
food. Nearly all Investigators agree il.
giving it high value and urge dairy
men to use this material not only be-
cause it is a cheap source of proteina
put because it also has high manur--
lal value. Practical feeders differ
greatly in their estimates of cotton
seed meal. Some seem to use it very
satisfactorily for a while and latter
conclude that the feed is not we'll
adapted for their purposes. Occasion :
ally feeder observes that the health
or MS animals is affected by the feed
ing OF cotton-seed too freely, and it:
sometimes happens that even after ami
mails nave been fed for months with
apparent success that they are injured
by It's continued use. It has also hap
pened that cows fed upon cotton-seed
meal DO we'll for a time and that later
the milk flow is diminished without ap-
parent cause. There are at present no.
other concentrated feeding stuffs which
vary so much in composition as cot
ton-seed meals from different sources
and different mills. Within three weeks
the station has examined samples vary
ing from % per cent to over SO per cent
OF protein. This great variation in diff
1erent lots OF cotton-seed meal may ex-
pain the different estimates of differ
ent practical feeders and of the same
feeders at different times. If COW is
1eu cOttOn-seed meal containing 26-
per cent protein and is then fed an
equal weight of meal containing 81 per
cent, it is evident that the amount of
protein which she receives will have
been doubled by the change. If she has
been fed up to her full capacity in the
hrst instance, such an increase must re-
suit disastrously. On the other hand,
changing from a cotton-seed of high
protein content to one of low protein
content would diminish the milk flow
unless the amount Of meal fed is cor
respondingly increased. If it is cor
rect supposition that much of the trou-
BILE arising from the use of cottonseed
meal is due to it's varying in compost
ton, this can be readily overcome by
the feeder. Cotton-seed meal like most
concentrated feeding stuffs cannot be:
legally sold in the state of Maine un
less the chemical composition is stated
upon the package. From the known
composition of different lots it will be
possible to so adjust the amount fea
that the size of the ration as measured
by it's content of protein will be kept
unchanged. The variations in compos-
ition are so great and the matter is
such a serious one to the consumer that
he, for his own protection, should re-
fuse to purchase concentrated CONNER
cial feeding stuffs which are not licens-
ed as required by law.
