Baby's Head Was "wobbly."

She is a very little girl, only years
old, but in the short period of her few
years she has enjoyed large expert
ence of life with dolls of all kinds and
descriptions, who, in the course of
their existence under her loving but
not always kind administrations, have
undergone many vicissitudes. So the
little 5-year-old, when there came a
real live baby into the house, felt him.

"Yes," replied the little girl hesita

superior to women. The women do it

How Lime should Be Used.

Lime should always be In the finest
possible condition before broadcasted

should It contain Jumps. 1t is also
better to haul the lime to the fields and
scatter It from the wagon instead Of
making piles of lime in the fields.

Materials and machinery to carry on
the petroleum industry have recently
been imported into Japan on quite an
extensive scale as result of the dis
covery of new oil fields in the province
of Echlgo. In Kashlwazaki, the city
nearest to the new fields, seventy pro-
ducing and thirty refining companies
have been started and n number of
drilling companies organized to put
down wells by contract for owners.
Japan consumes annually about co.
100000 gallons of refined petroleum,
of which amount about one-third is
produced by local refiners. This shows
n marked increase over the ratio of
the native and foreign product a year
ago, which was then one to ten. The
present daily product of petroleum in
Japan is stated as follows: The Nag
anime and Kamada new fields, 240O
barrels; the Nagaoka and Mitsu East
ern) fields, 1000 barrels; minor fields
in other provinces, 600 barrels; total,
1000 barrels.

The German laws regulating the
sale of poisons are very strict Until
these laws were enacted it was quite
easy to obtain mineral and vegetable
preparations of all kinds at any drug
store and the number of suicides from
poison reached alarming proportions.
Now chemists are not permitted to
sell even the polsons required in the
process of manufacturing certain legi-
innate products without a physicians
prescription. This is good thing for
the doctors. Even physician Is in
hiblted from leaving around polsons
in bottles or cases in his rooms. He
must provide locked cupboard or
suffer fine and even Imprisonment.

The small and inferior cabbages are
valuable as food for poultry, and will
be highly relished in winter, when
green food is scarce. They are easily
handled, as the heads require no cut
ting, the fowls picking them to pieces
and consuming them down to the
stalks.

The refinement of cruelty is reached
in the treatment of Gaetano Bresci,
the assassin of King Humbert of Italy.
He is confined to the Parto-Serrgis
castle in a coffin-shaped cell that per-
mits him neither to lie down nor sit
down. In an absolutely dark cell,
where the sun never penetrates he
will stand with bound hands and
stretched limbs where the vermln will
always be craving at him. To Ameri-
cans 'llfe imprisonment means a
steady, slow decay physically and men
tally, but the Roman law translates
it differently. A life sentence means
death with torture indescribable on
the way % execution" and therein
madness lies.

When point is made of the corrup-
tion and depravlty that flourish in the
city, it should be recalled that good re-
forms, great philanthropic enterprises.
and far-reaching movements for civil
progress commonly start in the cities,
observes the New York Observer. The
city is really just what the people in
the city make it to be. 1t is true that
moral extremes are accentuated in met
ropolitan life, but the average city man
is probably the peer of the average
man of the country, and it is the aver
age people everywhere who give color
and tone to society. Methods may
change, society may redistribute itself
about new centres as time passes, but
the enduring problem is how to make
a better society by making better men.

Ear marks or tags are of very little
value in marking hogs for public
sales, as they cannot be readily seen.
Paint is Objectionable for many
reasons. The best plan is to stamp
the number with stencil, using white
lead for this purpose. A set of ten
numbers may be made in this way:
From half-inch board cut ten blocks
three by four inches in size and from
broom handles cut ten pieces four
inches longer. Nail block to the
end of each handle. The figures are
cut from the leg of felt-lined rubber
boot, so that they will measure little
less than three inches wide and four
inches high and so that the fact of
the letter will be one-half inch wide
Tack these on each block of wood
with the felt side out using plenty
of small tacbs three or four ounces in
size.
Spread the pure white lead ON n
smooth board or pane Of glass and
wet 1t with very little japan and
turpentine, using no oil Of any kind.
Apply your stamp to this and IL of the
right consistency mark the hogs ON the
left side, beginning just back Of the
shoulders, with the figure running
across the backbone and pointing tow
ard the right side. Press the stamp
firmly, inclining it until the impression
is made plain the whole length of the
| figure. A mark O. this kind and in
this place Is on chat will last for
months and neither the hog himself
nor the other hogs can rub it Off

Hand-Operated Stump Fuller.
A stump-puller which can be easily
operated by one man and which will
do its work without straining the user
will always have ready sale in the
farming districts and new land of the

show in the picture seems to have
| these advantages to recommend it.

Now that hazing is being dealt with
as n species of elemental savagery
rather than an ebullition of harmless
boyish spirits, the time Is ripe for the
punishment and suppression Of the
practical jokers-women as well as
men. Numerous instances have been
printed of late of the discomfort and
injury inflicted by these would be
funny persons, but in two items of
news published on one day recently
death was recorded as the direct re-
suit of practical jokes. A woman of
Chicago substituted Il big wax doll for
her sisters infant. When the stiff
body with closed eyes and waxed
face was put into the young mothers
arms she fell In faint and died the
next day as a direct result Of fright.
The other item related the death of q
child In Rochester from commissions
caused by terror ut woman in a
;hideous mask. who shrieked, "Now
I've got you! will take you awayr'

a new process for the production of
nickel has been announced by the
French Metallurgical Society. The OBJ
ject of the process is to obtain pure
nickel in two operations only, starting
from the nickel matte. In the first OPP
Grafton the nickel is treated in the
Maubes converter, the iron being thus
totally removed, and crude sort of
pig nickel obtained, which contains
about three per cent. of sulphur. In
the second operation the crude nickel
is placed in an open hearth furnace,
and by special desulphurizng agents
the sulphur is removed and pure nickel
obtained.
