The starch factory closes down
Saturday. The fall run of potatoes
has been ground into starch which
will be dried fit for market Saturday.
About $1,000 bushels Of potatoes have
been brought in for which an average
of 10 cents bushel was paid. This
amount of potatoes made about 250,-
600 pounds of starch-nearly pounds
to the bushel. The starch was Of a
good quality which brought about
$500 a hundred in the market. Four
years ago starch was S1.65 a hundred.

Famous EIoSEers.

Among schoolmasters whose names
have come down to poster1ty with the
dubious reputation of great fioggers
DIR. Busby of Westminster school is
the generally acknowledged chief.
OF him it is recorded that one of his
head boys having inSulted a young
French viscount, who came to the
school to demand satisfaction, he fog
ged the viscount first for the blood
thirsty intentions and next his friend
who was the bearer of his challenge.
DIR. Valpy, too, who edited an edition
of the classics, was 4 potent wielder of
the rod. Archdeacon Groom, who was
n pupil of his. tells story in illustra
ton of his prowess. One of the boys
had been fiogged by the redoubtable
dominic, and the lads father came to
complain.
Sir" said Valpy to him, 81 fiogged
your son because he richly deserved it.
If he again deserves it, shall fog him
again. And" rising. 'if you come here,
sir, interfering with my duty, 1 shall
fog you"

Big Animals of Long Ago.

Most of the gigantic animals of geo.
logical eras belonged to species which
have completely vanished, and of those
which have living representatives it is
difficult to say whether they have un
dergone n true change of size or
whether the modern examples are
merely survivalS of smaller contempo-
rary varieties. The larger animals
have Il tendency to disappear first in Il
partial failure of food supply. Gigantic
armadillos closely resembling those
of the present day were formerly
abundant in South America. The re-
mains of huge sloths are found in Gu
ba and North America. Sharks attain
ing n length OF more than 100 feet are
found in comparatively recent fossil
deposits Another fish which repre-
sents a larger prehistoric species is the
American bony pike, which is one of
of the few survivals of the enormous
ganoids of the secondary strata The
tiny nautilus of the present day had
kindred 10 or u feet long in early
times. Another small shellfish, the
pteropod, whose delicately complex
structure Is packed in an inch of shell.
is found IN fossil remains to have
reached the respectable length Of a
couple of feet.

One sat sslll.

When Captain Cooks ship, the EN-
deavour, lay il Mercury bay, New
Zealand, in 1863, brown boy of S, who
afterward became = chief and lived
to great age. went aboard of her.
His name was Taniwha.
1t was easy enough for the brown
boys to pick out kapene Kuku Cap
tain Cook among the men on board.
Taniwha said; he was the leader Of
the "Goblins," very great man. He
walked the ship grave and dignified.
He held up nail. a priceless treasure,
and, when Taniwha laughed, gave it
to him Then the boys knew that he
was good as we'll as great. They We're
shocked that grown up Maori stole
a piece of calico.
''They padded away" Taniwha con-
tinued. THE Goblin went down into
the hold of the ship, but soon came up
with walking stick in his hand and
pointed it at the canoe. Thunder
pealed and lightning flashed, but those
in the canoe padded on.
'Then they landed. Eight rose to
leave the canoe, but the thief sat still
with his dogskin mat and the COLLINS
garment under his feet. His compan-
ions called him, but he did not answer.
One of them shook him, and the thief
fell back into the hold of the canoe
and blood was seen on his clothing and
hole in his back."-San Francisco

How They Make Lemons Sour.

Until recently the California people
did not know how to cure lemons. The
fruit was never tart enough. There
would be plenty of juice, but it con-
taiEed . high percentage of sugar and
n small percentage of acid, which
made it unmarketable. But few
years ago the lemon growers dubbed
together and sent experts over to Italy
and Spain to learn the business, and
now they are producing much better
results. They pick the fruit before it
begins TO turn yellow and put it in a
curing house, where it is kept at an
even temperature of about so degrees
for about 20 days, which ''sweats OUT
ali the sugar. 1t is then removed to
another temperature for 60 days more
before it is ready for the market.
Thus the highest degree of acid and
the largest degree of juice can be OBJ
tanned. One of the curious effects of
this sweating" process is to reduc
the thickness of the skin. 1t originally
grows thick and tough, but the acid
seems to eat it up.-Chicago Record.

4 Tnrt RetOrt.

The plaintiff was undergoing a rath-
er sharp examination from the defend
ants counsel. The case was one OF
damages claimed on account of severe
bodily injuries by the plaintiff on a
railway, due, the plaintiff claimed, to
the negligence of the defendant rail
way company's servants. Mr.. c., the
railway company's counsel, was noted
for his overbearing manner in eXamin-
ing witnesses and endeavoring to dis
concert them. This witness, however,
determined not to be confused by his
opponents counsel.
After becoming thoroughly provoked
by the attacks of the man of law he re-
monStrated. "Alr. c." said he, Il

question me in this manner. 1t is a

woman and Perversity.

Women and perversity are one, says
the philosophic street car conductor.
who asserts that she always does the
wrong thing in travelling on the trains.
She wants to get aboard on the wrong
side of the street; she alights the wrong
way, facing backward, before the car
stops, and she'll crowd in between two
fat passengers rear the rear door of
the car rather than walk n few steps
forward where there is plenty of room
She may have nickels and dimes in her
purse TO burn, but she'll fish and hunt
around for minutes looking for five
coppers TO unload upon the long suffer
ing servant of the road--Exchange.

good enough to be true, whether it is
or not. According to report, dispute
as to the words lunch" and "lunch.
con" recently arose between Mr.. and
Mrs. Howells. Mr.. Howells champioped
.'lunch" as the proper term, while his
wife defended ''luncheon. At last, at
Mr.. Howells' suggestion, they appealed
to the Century Dictionary to settle the
question. "Well, 1 was right, after
alll' he exclaimed in triumph. and he
read aloud the following extract quoted
as showing correct usage: 1--WE lunched

Curious Bird Habits.

1t is a well known fact that if the
young of almost any kind of bird are
taken from the nest before they can fly
the old ones will feed them most atten-
lively if the cage in which the little
birds are inclosed is placed somewhere
where the parents can reach ii. and a
popular but erroneous belief is current
that they do this for time, and end
by poisoning the young ones.
This, however. is mistake, the fact
being that at a certain stage of young
birds existence, when it is naturally
able to begin catering for itself, the
parent birds, also quite naturally, cease
to attend it, and then, if the birdlings
are shut up in the cage and their Gus
todian has not thought of placing some
food at their disposal they necessarily
die. not from poison administered by
the parents, but from starvation.-S

ONE BRAVE MAN.
And the Reason He stood Firm While
Under Fire.


y battalion of volunteer infantry
was drilling in n field when a regiment
OF regular cavalry rode by. The colo
mel of the cavalry halted his men to
watch the volunteers, and, getting
into conversation with the colonel of
the latter, he criticised their drill un-
favorably, especially their want of
steadiness. The volunteer colonel was
a fierce fellow, and he cried hotly, MY
men are as steady as any regiment of
regulars"
Il do not think So," retoreed the cav,
alryman, land if you'll draw your men
in order to receive cavalry I'll prove
it"
The challenge was accepted, and the
cavalrymen charged down upon the
citizen soldiers, who awaited them in
the usual way. Now, regular cavalry
can charge to within q few feet or
even inches of infantry at full gallop
and then at the word of command pull
up short. The volunteers. however,
lost their nerve when they saw the
huge horses laundering down upon
them and showing no sign of stopping
when few yards off. They fed, ali
but one man, who remained on his
knee. with bayonet levelcd.
His colonel, enraged at the others
flight, approached the hero and, tap
ping him on the back, cried: You are
the only brave man in the regiment.
You scorned to run
Yes, SIR" gasped the hero. 81 had
