 RED HAIR IN HISTORY.
Sir Walter and aIichsiet Disagreed About
 Unhappy Mary's.

The exact tint of the Scottish Queens hair has always been a vexed subject os discussion. Some give it an unmitigaAe0 red. Michelet, for in- stance, ~ho so far forgets himself and history as to call the poor lady a great red camel; others, siding with chivai- orous Sir Walter, boldly endow their martyred Queen and mistress with rich dark brown tresses. It should not be forgotten, however, that red hair, even modest auburn, suffered a severe eclipse during the early years of our century, whereas, under the Valois, no one with any pretensions to elegance could be seen wearing it black. In this particular, at least, Mary Stuart must have had tho advantage of Queen Margot, who inherited her fathers dark coloring, and was reduced to dis semble natures shortcomings by the perruquier's art
 We are told of three gigantic blond iackeys, kept in her service, and brought to the shears as regularly as sheep. Brantome, indeed, protests that his incompatible Princess could carry with grace "even her natural black hair twisted and plaited l'Espagnol, as she sometimes wore it, in imitation of her sister. the Queen of Spain But 10 such need of insistence one feels when he comes to praise the curled golden tresses Of the Scottish Queen. "Alas!" he cries, what proclamation was that at the dreadful moment of her death, when the barbarous executioner snatched her bonnet, and there lay re- vealed those same fair locks, now whitened, thin and wintry, and which her friends of France had so often seen but to admire, curled and adorned as befttted their beauty aud the Queen they graced."

.sCome in. old Pnrd.v ;

The land crab, big. noisy, of weird locomotion and most objectionable ap- pearance, was among the horrors which our soldiers encountered as they moved from Siboney 10 Santiago. Most of tFa men had never seen such creatures, and regarded them with extreme aversion.
 Often these noisy creatures invaded the tents of the men, and violence and profanity followed But some of the Rough Riders had seen such things be- fore. One night an Eastern man was visiting a Rough Rider from Arizona, when in walked the biggest land crab of the season.
 'Ugh!" cried the visitor Look at that"
 why said the Rough Rider, delightedly. "how home like!p And ex- tending his hand toward the ugly in truder. he cried Come in, old pard I knew your brother in old Arizona" The Eastern man fled. leaping over the .old pard" as he departed.

Jews of the wor1d.

The Jewish year book estimates that there are about 11,O0O. 900 Jews in the world, half of them still under Russian jurisdiction, notwithstanding their wholesale expulsion from the empire. Of the race in general it may be said that, numerically speaking. it is ex- tremely small for it's age, it's chance of getting bigger apparently not in- creasirg with it's years.

~navy smerrY.a

According to the navy regulations, whiskey is not allowed on war ships except in the medical supplies, but it gets aboard somehow, as visitors to the hospitable officers can testify. It is called navy sherry" on shipboard.
 Sometimes, when the fleet was on blockade duty. newspaper despatch boats carried supplies to the officers. man ignorant of the rule about navy sherry hailed the flagship New York one Sunday morning off Santiago and asked the officer of the deck if he would send boat for some supplies.
 For whom are they?" the officer asked. through a megaphone.
 The ward room mess, was the re- ply.
 It was an idle hour on the New York, and a crowd of officers and men had lined up and were listening.
 What supplies have you?" the of ficer asked again, and through his meg aphene the correspondent bawled:-
 Onions. potatoes and whiskey!"
 Then he wondered why all the off, fcers in sight fled to the other side of the ship. holding their sides with laughter. The onions and potatoes were sent on board-at least they alone were received officially.
 An officer, who asked a friend to get a case of navy sherry for him later on was astounded when the man brought real sherry. He had supposed that every one knew the difference.

RAPE AS GREEN FOOD.
Every Farmer Who Raises Chickens
Should Try n Small Patch
without Delay.

Rape Is an excellent green food for
chickens and fills a long felt want of
poultrymen. 1t can be sown in early
spring or any time later up to the mid
die of August, and furnish an abund-
anee OF food. writes c. Z. Roberts in the
American Poultry journal. Last year
i sowed small patch just to see what
kind OF a plant Il was. 1t grows from
IS to 20 inches in height. The leaves
IN color and shape resemble the cab
bage leaf very mush. It can be sown
broadcast, or in drills 80 inches apart.
and be cultivated. The ground should
be prepared the same as for turDips,
and the seed covered about the same
as turnip seed. 1t grows very fast, and
can be cut and fed 10 chickens or let
them go to it at will and help them
selves. When they are to eat in this
way 1 should prefer to have 1t sown
In drills, as they can walk between the
rows, and are not so apt to trample
and break it down as is the case when
sown broadcast; but when 1t is to be cut
and fed it is just as good to SOW it broad
cast as any. Last year my young chick
ems commenced to eat my cabbages,
but when the rape was up four or five
inches high they left the cabbage and
commenced on the rape, and any one
knows that when chickens leave cab
bage patch TO eat something else II
must be something they like better
than cabbages. had never had chick
ems do better and grow faster than they
did while they were helping themselves
to rape. 1 think that every one who
raises chickens should try a small
patch. 1t will cost but few cents ia
give this plant trial, as Ave pounds is
enough to SOW an acre broadcast. and
one to two pounds il sewn in drills.

GREEN CUT BONE.


Green bone Is rich in phosphate OF
lime, and this fact alone should prove
its value as food for laying hens, both
winter and summer. Fowls understand
its value TO themselves, as is shown by
the manner in which they viii leave any
fsod to get the green bone, says the
American Farmer. Further, 1t Is one
of the cheapest foods, for usually the
bones of various sizes and shapes, with
more or less meat attached to them, can
be bought for few cents, and the
modern bone-cutter brushes and cuts
them fine in a few moments Frequent
IL there ia sufficient meat on these
bones to furnish all that is needed in.
that line. and thus another saving is eff
fecter, for the meat bought alone
would cost much more than the meaty
bones. Still again. green bone, especial
" when meat is attached thereto, fed
within reason. reduces the need of feed
ing the usual quantity Of grain, thus
saving more money.
The main thing TO avoid In feeding
cut bone is 10 see that the bones are
green-that is, fresh and free from
faint In some localities where butch
ers have considerable demand for fresh
bones, they make two grades Of them.
one from meat freshly cut up and the
other from older meat. and frequently
| tainted with the entrails of fowls and
| other refuse thrown into the box. Don't
buy this stuff at any price, nor take II
as gift. Feed only fresh bone, and il
will pay every time.

especially in view of freezing when

scissors instead of a knife so as to pinch

The operation is not SO painful as

xlently provided that the comb and wat
tiles should be comparatively destitute
OF feeling. AS during the thousands

fought for the possession of the females

would be perpetuated and augmented

The drawbacks of large combs and
wattles are freezing in our northern
states and the discomforts and strain
resulting from carrying so much
weight on the head. 1t appears as
though the circulation of blood in the
head is somewhat affected by these
excessive appendages, for it has been
observed SHAT a Leghorn having fire.
'quent spells of giddiness and stagger-
ing can sometimes be quickly and per-
mansntly cured by trimming the comb,
and we would always recommend the
trimming of both comb and wattles

How to Get Tor Er1ees.

To get the advantage Of fun market
prices for eggs nothing is more i'm
po-tant than the style of the cases and
packing Of course size and cleanness
are very important considerations, but
the first thing that strikes the eye of
purchaser is the exterior quality. 1
notice many lots of eggs, especially
from the south. which come into the
stores in an sorts of cases-scarcely
two alike, and none of them neat and
trim These goods are generally con-
dsmned before they are looked at and
can only be sold at a concession, no
matter haw good the eggs may be.
shippers may accept it as fact that
while all eggs in first-class packages
may not sell at top prices, no eggs in
second or third class packages will do

PRESERVING EGGS
1IreezIons for the Use of water Glass
Furnished by Prof. Ladd, of
North Dakota College.


Prof Ladd, of North Dakota College
of Agriculture, la bulletin No. 80, gives
ahe following directions for the use of
water glass in keeping eggs. Water
sglass is silicate of soda or silicate of
potash, the former being cheaper. 1t
rs not expensive,
: If wooden kegs or barrels are TO be
xlsed il which to pack the eggs. they
should first be thoroughly scalded with
boiling water TO sweeten and purify
4hem.
To each ten quarts of water, which
should first be boiled and then cooled
add one quart of water glass. Pack
the eggs in the vessel and pour solution
over them, covering we'll.
Keep the eggs in cool, dark place.
"A dry, cool cellar is good place.
If the eggs are kept in teo warm a
place the silicate is deposited and the
eggs are not properly protected. Do
not wash the eggs before packing for
by so doing you injure their keeping
quality.
For packing use only perfectly fresh
eggs, for stale eggs win not be saved
=and may prove harmful TO others.
All packed eggs contain n little gas,
and in boiling such eggs they will
crack. This may be prevented by
making pin hole in the blunt end OF
7he egg. To do this hold the egg in the
hand, place the point of pin against
rhe shell Of the egg at the blunt end, and
give the pin quick, sharp blow, just
enough 10 drive the pin through the
shell without further injury to the egg
