MONEY IN CORNER STONES.
MilliOas of Dollars Have Been Depos- tte6 Beneath Brick and Nor

The calculating barber seemed some what Nvroth, says the Kansas City Star. Excuse mel" he exclaimed with an ef- fort to calm himself. Fact is I'm a little put out. Business trouble? No, it's only my church affairs. was called upon for a fve-dollar contribution at the corner stone laying this morning. Ever been at the laying of church corner stone? No? We'll, there's often nice little pile of good hard cash in gold and silver coins of the current year slowed away 'in the stone. Twen- ty-five dollars were plsstered up in ours, and that's what makes me mad. The idea of asking man to pony up five spot and then putting the money out of circulation that way! It's awful! And there are exactly 177,4S1 corner stones in the country, according to church statistics. Suppose everyone of these to contain $25. I've figured out that just s4,437,025 is slowed away in- stead of being out working. No wonder I'm mad! That interest would just amount to $266,221.50 year. Why, the churches ought to be paying dividends instead of making fellows like me go down in their clothes. Some day the congregations will get next to this idea and there'll be the deuce to pay, Does the razor pull?"

POINT TO POINT HURDLING.
A Popular English Sport That Offers Opportunity for Daring
 Riding.

A point to point steeplechase is for members of the hunt only. They are started in the center of field, and a place some eight or ten miles distant is named, generally some church with a steeple-hence the origin of the word steeplechase-to which the riders make their best way. To know the country is of great advantage, as after getting over the first fence the field spreads out ID aE Edirections, each member having his own idea of the quickest way of arriving al his destination. There are prizes of silver plate for the first three horses in.
 Every year members of the house of lords have point to point, for which the fashionables turn out in great num- bers. This winter, however, will be de- void of all these pastimes; in fact, it is awful to think of the hundreds that will never again be seen in scarlet.
 "Wiu the Birmingham club open this season?" is a question often asked, and Will there be any polo?" One thing is certain, there will be no hunt balls. The warlike energy of the nation is stripping the country quarters of many Pleasurable associations. The usual shooting parties have been but few, and as before stated the hunt fixtures have been poorly attended, the best men, in many cases, including the master of the hounds, being engaged in recruiting for the Imperial yeomanry.

THE TATTOOING CRAZE.
It Hns Taken PoAsession of Many Britishers Sailing for
 South Africa.

"Yes," said London tattooist famous in the West end, reports an English ex- change, "the war has given an extraor- dinary impetus to our art. All the lead ing artists in our line are engaged night and day tattooing notices, arms, love tokens, and still stranger devices, on the arms, chests and legs of departing officers and privates. X girls portrait h the middle of spiders web is favor ite decoration. One titled guardsman had two different portraits done, one on each arm; another shrapnel shell; an- other complete representation of the Guards colors and motto. Several off, cers get their fancees to write their names, or some little motto, and the tat tooists reproduce the writing in fac simile.
 "Nor con one smile at the tattooist as sentimental. Several officers and men who met death at Elandslaagte were recognized by notices and devices tat tooed on their chests and arms when their faces were so shattered that identification would otherwise have been impossible"

HOMEMADE BROODER.
Simple and at the Same Time Correct PrfE cfples.

A plan is shown herewith that gives 8 brooder constructed on simple and at the same time correct principles. The diagram Zig. D is very nearly self explanatory. A box three feet square or whereabouts has in the bottom 8 brooder lamp or stove. Above this is a sheet of sheet iron as large as tEe inside of the box and supported at the four sides, and by an iron prop near the lamp, if it is inclined to sag. Make the edges air-dght with cement, so that no fumes from the lamp can get up above the sheet iron. Have sheet iron drum made as indicated in Fig 3 and set this into the brooder floor, fill ing in the rest of the floor about the drum with cement, that there may be 10 danger from fire. The drum need not be over six inches in height. It has a half dozen openings under the top, as shown in the sketch. When the
The St. Johns herald., 1900-04-21

lamp is lighted air enters at one side
 above the sheet iron, is heated and rises in the drum, passing out through the openings into the chick chamber, and is diffused about it. Three or four ventilating holes are in the wall near the floor for the exit of cold air. This gives a constant movement of warm air into the brooder. These openings can be partly closed when desired. An opening in the side near the bottom of the lamp chamber and Che near the top on the opposite sides give fresh air for the lamp and an exit for its fumes. The lamp is inserted through a small door in the side of the box. One whole side of the brooder chamber is a drop door, for the easy sweeping out of the floor. The top Gin door) can have pane of glass in it, so one may see the chicks and the thermometer hanging against one side. Glass on two sides gives light The top must fit very tightly. If this brooder is to be used out of doors roof must be added, as indicated by dotted lines. The corners of the brooder are cut off, as seen in Fig. 2. so that the chicks may not crowd into them and the weak be trampled upon and smothered by the stronger, should the chamber ever be- come cold.--Farm and Home.

BERMUDA LILIES
by the Department of AEricu1- ture im the South.

An interesting experiment is now being conducted by the United States department of agriculture in South Carolina and in the southern states with the Bermuda lily so popular at Easter as gift and for decorative pur- poses. Bulbs have been distributed freely in every section of Louisiana and South Carolina with 8 view to ascer- taining if the Bermuda lily will bear transplanting to this soil. An expert nent made in the Rally experimental station in South Carolina was attended with the most satisfactory results, and if the same luck follows the general ex- pertinent the home markets can be sup piled with the native grown product. The supply in the Bermudas is still un- limited, but the stock has so deter ioriated as to cause general complaint from the receiving florists ip this coun- try, and this resulted in the action of the department of agriculture. As corrective method the British govern ment has established an experimental station in Bermuda to educate the na- tives in the more successful growth of this, one Of their principal industries.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPGRS.
With good management it costs little o keep a few hives of bees.

With good management it costs little to keep few hives of bees.
 Do not neglect to look for the queens or brood when opening the hives in the spring.
 No matter when bees are moved, they should be fastened up so that none can escape.
 To very considerable extent spring dwindling is the result of poor winter management.
 Have the entrance to the hives and the vicinity around them clean and convenient for the bees to get out and in readily.
 The life of bees during the working season is very short, and it requires good laying queen to keep up the force of bees in the hive.
 The proper time to transfer bees from box hives to movable frames is early in the spring, before the comb becomes heavy with brood and honey.
 Hives should be located in good sea- son in whatever particular location they are expected to occupy in readi- ness to receive the swarms as they come off.
 If any colonies are found too weak in the spring to take care of a frame of brood give them bees from the strongest colonies, but be careful not to give them the queen.
 When the weather gets warm enough for the bees to fly without becoming chilled give them finely ground corn meal, wheat or the finer parts of sifted ground oats.
 The secret of large honey crops is strong colonies and plenty of room for the bees to store honey. Give each frame in the hive exactly one and a half inches of space.
 Do not open the hives to excite the bees when it is too cold for them to fly. The best time to remove surplus for brood frames is after two or three days of good honey weather.
 Do not open the hives to excite the bees when it is too cold for them to fly. The best time to remove surplus for brood frames is after two or three days of good honey weather.
 If in the spring any of the colonies are found without queens give them frame of brood. Do not allow the col onies to rear queens until drones are matched to insure mating.-St. Louis Republic.

FALLING BULLETS.
When Fired in the Air They Come Down With All the Speed Of
 GunpOwder Propulsion.

Falling bullets kill many men, even when they are lying sheltered behind trenches. If bullet is fired in the air it falls with as much force as it goes up. But, curiously, there is certain limit of height beyond which bullet gains no more falling force; the reason be- ing that when the motion is very rapid the resistance of the air balances the attraction of gravity. In the siege of Sebastapol-and, in fact, during every campaign-a great many men were killed by falling bullets. And the ter rife force with which they come down is shown by case in which the bullet entered the shoulder of cavalryman, passed down through his body and penetrated several inches into his horses back.
 A curious instance occurred not long ago in India. While native was clean ing boots in the open air hc was seen to drop dead without g. cry. On ex- amining him, they found that bullet had entered the top of his head. No shot had been heard, and the person who fired it must have been a very long way of.

OH, THE POOR G1RLSl
Had UnpronOunceable Names SaddIed Upon Them.

Yankee ingenuity is proverbial, and is trait of which New Englanders may fairly be proud. Nevertheless, there is one field of invention in which they do not shine-the invention of proper names, says Youths Companion.
 This was often practiced in New Eng land in old times. It has now become a distressingly popular habit in the west. Of course, it is easy to understand how a proud parent may think no name in all history, tradition or romance quite good enough for her own particular baby; but that baby, when she grows up-it is almost invariably she-will seldom thank her parents for their eff fort to distinguish her with something novel and original.
 Yet greatly daring parents, quite re- gently the records show, have afflicted innocent infants with the names of Venustine and Oriette; Rovilla, Syren- ola and Zulea, Zinda, Luciline and Fly anthe, Doricianna and Avelaura.
 The poor babies! And they will not even have the satisfaction of comraemo- rating great events, which may some day practically reconcile to their fate these young ladies, the Misses Dewey ette-Olympia Jones, Philippina-Victor- icia-Dewey Brown and Deweyline Ma niia Robinson! Indeed, the first two of this trio being of the colcred race, whose taste in names is usually little horid, may perhaps wear their honors as proudly as they were bestowed; but 1t wo,- Il not be rash prophet who should venture to predict that little Deweyline Manila, by the time she has been plagued through the primary school, and called after in the gram mar school, and laughed at through the high school. will, once she is fairly en- tered upon her teens, fall back on her initials, and face a cold, hard world as plain Miss D.

POLITE TRUCK DRIVERS.
A Case Where Police Interference Was Required te Settle ones-
 ton of Procedure.

The truck driver is proverbially pro- fane and when one is discovered who doesn't swear between syllables when his vehicle is jammed in a bunch of other trucks and blocked trolley cars you feel like taking of your hat to him, says the Philadelphia Record. Down at Second and Chestnut streets the other afternoon, when traffic was at its thickest and trucks and cars were lined along both thoroughfares, two truckmen had equal chances of making the crossing. Ore was coming down Chestnut and the other along Second street. Had they been ordinary truck men each would have whipped up and the chances are that collision would have resulted. But these two were not ordinary truckmen.
 With Chesterfeldian grace, one waved his arm to the other, inviting him to take precedence. "You first" shouted the driver, whereupon messenger boy who had witnessed the remarkable scene gasped and nearly swallowed his cigarette stump. After you," was the next contribution to this remarkable dialogue. Wouldn't that jar you?" muttered a motorman, who was stand ing changing his bell for all he was worth. The two truckmen continued to motion for each other to go ahead. 'I insist" shouted one. "Oh, no, I insist!" shouted the other. Finally policeman interfered. Say, one O yous ducks git a move on, !" he commanded. This ain't no pink teal" The truckman coming down Chestnut street consented to cross the street and traffic was gradG- allv rasnnnnd
