THE TyaANT OF THE HOUSE.
While baby sleeps

While baby sleeps
We cannot jump or dance or sing,
Play Jolly games or do a thing
To make noise. The floor might creak
If we should walk. We scarcely speak
Or breathe while baby takes nap
Lest we should wake the little chap.
A strict watch nursie always keeps
While baby sleepsi
When baby wakes,
But little gratitude he shows
When other people want to doze.
At night. when folks have gone to bed,
He rouses them all up instead
To wait on him. Ma lights the lamp
And warns milk for the little scamp.
Pa walks him up and down the floor,
Sometimes two hours and sometimes more
And nurse comes running, in stew.
To see what she for him can do,
And Will and Harry, at the row,
Call, "What's the matter with him nowH
And I'm walked up at all the chatter
To wonder what on earth's the matter.
Such uproar in the house he makes
When baby wakesl
So, IL asleep or If awake,
The house exists but for his sake.
And such tiny fellow he

FRENCH HuMOR.

M. Erancisque Sarcey and His Grotesque
EfHgy In the Carnival.
1t is often said that Frenchmen lack
humor and dread ridicule, but M. Fran
cisque Sarcey has given an example Of
that humorous good sense which defes
mockery At carnival time in Paris it
is customary to exhibit on the boule-
wards grotesque efigies of well known
public men, A modest stranger called
ON NJ Sarcey to tell him that his image
was to figure in the procession
Every good. " said M. Sarcey. "What
can do for you?"
'.Well, if you would be SO kind as to
lend us some of your veritable garments,
they would make the likeness all the
stronger y
"No doubt, a" responded the critic
blandly "In that cupboard you will
find several hats -
''Oh. the veritable hat will not dol
You sec, your head mean the head of

''Tres bien. Take coat, them
Dressed in the yeritable coat, the Sar-
cey dummy was an immense success. 1t
seemed SO strange to literary Paris,
however. for man to aid and abet the
caricature of himself that M. Sarcey
has volunteered an explanation, which
is delicious bit of humor. Lamar

consented to lend his coat for such a
purpose. He was poet with a sensitive
soul. So was Victor Hugo But what
would you? We cannot all be Lamar
tines and Hugos. Why should we poor
journalists, who have no feelings to
speak of, deny ourselves to the populace
when we can contribute to their harm
less amusement? Besides, they may not
always think it worth their while to
notice us.

Some interesting observations made
by M. Fatio on the surgical treatment
of wounds by birds We're recently
brought before the Physical society of
Geneva. In these it was established
that the snipe had often been observed
in repairing damages. With its beah
and feathers it makes very creditable
dressing and has even been known to
secure a broken limb by means of stout
hgature. On one occasion NJ Fatio
killed a snipe which had on it's chest a
large dressing composed of down from
other parts of the body and securely
fixed to the body by coagulated blood
Twice he had snipe with interviewer
feathers strapped ON to the site of a
fracture of one or other limb. The most
interesting example was that of snipe
both of whose legs he had unfortunately
broken by misdirected shot He only
recovered it on the following day, when
he found that the wounded bird had
contrived to apply dressings and sort
of splint 70 both limbs. In carrying out
this operation some feathers had become
entangled round the beak, and not be-
ing able to use it's claws to get rid OF
them the poor creature was almost dead
from hunger when found. Public

cAwDoR CASTLE.
How Macbeth, Who Founded It, HsR-
pened to Select Its Site.

Pened to Select Its Site.
The late Earl of Cawdor was the
owner of two charming residences in
Wales-Stackpole Court, Pembroke
shire, where he died, and Golden
Grove, Carmarthenshire- these
were mere pleasure houses by COMPARE
son with the ancestral home Of the
Campbells, Cawdor castle at Nairn.
This fine north British dwelling re-
manned almost undisturbed from the
death of Sir Hugh Campbell in 1716
for a period of nearly 100 years, when
it was conscientiously restored by its
late owner. Cawdor castle itself had
it's rise in fierce and wild age, around
which traditions of hazy nature clus-
ter 1t is a legend in Marin that the
murder by Macbeth was committed in
an old chamber of the castle tower,
and visitors wishing to conduct them
selves with gravity and respectful rever-
ence are expected to receive this story
with an expression of solemnity not un-
tinged with awe. That the "silver
skim of King Duncan was "laced with
his golden blood" in this particular
apartment is fable that need not now
be enlarged upon.
Cawdor castle by its outward aspect
is, however, strongly suggestive in its
gaunt and minatory massiveness Of the
fierce and troublous times Of the ambi-
tious Macbeth. The story goes that the
thane who founded it was much con-
cerned about the choice Of an abode
and was warned in a dream to place his
worldly wealth in a Golfer and to bind
it upon the back of an ass and wher-
ever the animal should halt to set
about his work. The ass "came to q
sandstill at the russetburn at the third
hawthorn from the starting point" and
lay down. Curiously enough, as if to
confirm this tradition, to this day in
the dungeon beneath the tower a haw-
thorn grows The other two trees have
disappeared, the last one as lately as
1886. Many stirring tales are told OF
the later history of Oawdor castle,
which came to be left untenanted for
long years owing to the Campbells de-
parting for Wales where they married
young ladies with ample fortunes

He Got the Pin.

A good many people still believe in
the little superstition about seeing a
pin and picking it up. It makes some
of them decidedly uncomfortable when
they pass pin by, and even if expe-
rience has taught them that there is
nothing to be gained by scooping up the
pointed bit of wire they still dive for
one whenever they see it.
An aged man was toddling across
Payne avenue at its junction with Will
son some time ago when between the
street car rails at the very center of the
curve he noticed pin. 1t was bright

gaze at once. Being superstitious old

Belgian and German Farming.

In Belgium two acre holding is
| sufficient to maintain farmer and his
family. The typical two acre farm in
that country contains a patch of wheat
or rye and another of barley Another
fair portion grows potatoes. A row Of
cabbage grows all round on the sloping
sides of the bitches, with a row of on
ions just inside, leaving bare walking
room between them and the grain The
shade trees round the house are pear
trees. Every foot of land is made to
produce, and the farmer keeps pigs and
chickens
In Germany, out Of 5, 276, 600 farms,
1928, 600, or % per cent of the whole,
are each under ~ acres in extent, and
of the farms above 56 per cent are Gull
tivated by the owner himself, over 30
per cent partly so, or about So per cent
altogether, leaving 10 per cent out of
every 100 per cent that are let to ten
ants. In Germany, notwithstanding
this small size of large proportion of
the farms, 17S out of every 1, 900 inhab-
itants are nevertheless engaged in agri-
culture whereas i'll England no more
than 81 are thus occupied, in Scotland
only 81, though 195 per 1, 900 in Ire
land being thus engaged raises the pro-
portion in the whole United Kingdom
to 70 out of that number less than
half, however, the percentage so en-
ployed in Germany.

The Billings Gazette is of the opin-
ion that the Republicans can carry
the state this fall if they make a hard
fight. The anti-fusion Democrats are
getting on their war paint and there
is liable to be a high old time at Ana
conda when the state convention
meets. 1t is quite probable there will
be a straight Democratic ticket in the
field this fall. A good many Repub-
licans who left the party ON the silver
issue did sofrom a sincere conviction,
not for the purpose of giving the Of
fees over to the Democrats and Pop
ulists. They are tired of Democratic
promises and ~pretenses and realize
that the party car neverdo anything
for silver or bring about prosperity.
They will come back to those asso-
Citations which have occupied the
greater part of their lives, and glory
in the achievements of the party in
the past as well as the present. Aside
ocratic party ever advocated that
appeals to their intelligence or sense
of justice and right. They realize
that the country is getting more
prosperous every day and that new
issues are coming to the front which
must necessarily obscure all Others,
and on these issues they stand with
their old party of progress, patriot
ism and prosperity. They will stand
with William Mckinley, one of the
grandest men that ver occupied the
presidential chair, and with III great
leaders in congress. whose wise
craftsmanship will place ourfiag and
our country in the al of all the ma
