Ohio Family Desour Dozens OF Raw Eggs
Every Day. Is
There is a family out in South Cum
minsyille that has developed penchant

bic TO believe. 1t is common talk in the
nelghboriloOd that from the head of the
family down to the youngest child raw
eggs form almost their entire diet, and
even the animals Oh the place are fond
OF the same food. The head of the house
hold has several inenbators, and raises
poultry for a living. Perhaps this has
something to do with it. One day last
week stranger called at the place and
was surprised to see three young chill
dren sitting along in Il row, each with
several raw egs in front of them, which
they seemed to relish immensely. while

TraYeler,s Tree

y The long cherished romance OF the
'.traveler's tree" Of Madagascar has been
scattered to the winds by Jules Grisard.
We have been taught to believe this tree
a boon to thirsty travellers, because il
grows in dry regions and yields supply
Of pure water from its petiole-that is To
say, the stalk Of it's leaf. According to
M. Grisard, however, the tree, which re.
sembles the banana, grows in damp soil
near rivers and in other parts of the
country where its water is hardly needed
and, moreover. the water is so polluted
with dead insects us to be scarcely palata.
BILE. The traveller tree, or ravenal, may

.thatching and furnishing their houses.

Tramps as Taxpayers,

Russia is probably the only civilized
country in the world where tramps are
officially recognized and protected by the
government. This is especially the case
with the tramps of the important prov
in guilds and start out every spring to beg
systematically through the other parts of
the empire. They do SO we'll that on
their return i'll the autumn they are able
to pass the winter in ease and idleness
with their wives and children, and are
favored by the authorities because they
happen to be about the only inhabitants
of the province who are able to pay their
taxes in full. 1t is calculated that dur
ing their tours they are able to lay aside
about $50 month.

Earring Sheep's Noses.

At this time of year sheep are apt to
be troubled by the fly which deposits
eggs in their noses, and afterwards
matches the maggot which burrows in
their heads and often proves fatal. Sheep
are much excited when they find this
fly, running with their nose close to the
ground, and rubbing it into any loose
soil they may find. Tarring the nose is
the best preventive and always effective
if taken in time. 1t is easily done by
leaving tar in the field and throwing a
handful Of salt over it, In their eager
ness to get the salt, the sheep will thor=
:oughly coat their noses with tar. 1t
should be renewed so long as warm
weather lasts, for the tar will gradual
" wear off and cease to be protec-
ton. s b..

The old proverb about "idle hands" is
illustrated daily in these modern times
i'll almost every place. large or small, Just
as it no doubt has been daily illustrated
for several thousands of years-and yet

which It conveys. A certain little town
in New England has recently learned it

women has been murdered by an idler.
who, with half dozen of his mates,
lounged habitually around the village
corners, drinking liquor when they could
get it, Ogling the passers-by and making
coarse remarks about them, disturbing
the peace of the quiet community by

or less offensive misdemeanors. At last
these have eliminated in u crime 50 re-
Voting that everyone who hears of it
is chilled to the heart with horror. !"
In our large cities the idlers abound,
but the police usually keep them in de-
cent order and compel them to remain
in certain quarters. 1t is in our towns
and villages that they are most high
handed and most dangerous. What vii
lage dWeller does not know the slouching
figures. the lack-luster eyes, the insulting
laugh, of the group of oilers near the

NEW STYLE OF TURRETS.
They Will be Used on New Battle
ahiNa.

They will be Used on Now Battle
Steel turrets of new design have been
adopted by the navy department for use
on the battleships Alabama, Wisconsin
and Illinois. They are the design of AS
sistant Naval Constructor Dashiell, and
warship:: In the proposed turrets 13-inch
guns will be installed, capable of a most
destruetiye hre, and at the same time
we'll projected from bonibardment or az
sanlt of any kind. The main features Of
the new turrets are vertical walls on the
rear and sides and sloping plate in
front. The plates are of uniform thick
ness of IA inches. the front plates sloping
z degrees to the horizontal At such an
inclination it will be almost impossible
for any projectile, no matter how heavy
and with what velocity it is sent, to pene-
trate the plate, while the vertical plates
would resist Pinch shot at 1000 Yards
range.
One of the chief advantages of this in
clined plate over the vertical plates that
are used in the construction of all turrets
in other warships is the DETECTING quail
ties it has: It has been recognized that
the necessity for keeping the turret guns
trained at all times on the enemy opens
the immediate front or exposed part of
the turret to serious consequences, while
with curved plate that will defect the
projectiles it will be almost impossible to
do the turret any great harm when the
defective parts are presented at the tar.

So far as possible the farmer ought to

summer a, moderate dressing of CONNER

tsibly the sod may not equal in value the
plant nutrition furnished by dressing
of stable manure, but the sod will be
more sure to rot if the season be dry,
and thus make up in availability. what
it lacks in fertilizing power. If the sod
