...o. noyIee, for Use in Warfare.

New while war is going on the pro- fife brain of the inventor is busy de- yising ways in which to speedily an nibilate the enemy. One ingenious in- diyidual. an Englishman, suggests mist or fog ball with which to envelop an antagonist in impenetfable dark ness. The balls are easily broken spheres containing ammonia and ac1as' which, on escaping. create a very dense fog, wrapping everything near it in a haze until blown away by the wi1d! He argues that this would be a most efficacious method of prevent ing the Boers from aiming at English troops. Another proposes to blind the foe by firing into their midst bullets filled with pepper-thus doing double good work, both disabling the enemy and increasing the consumption of our colonial produce.

Her picture IS run in with the ad and her testimonial is surely a heap fulsome for yoIun- tary contribution. In the course ol 1er remarks she says, I abhor per- fumed woman.'

It isn't particularly because of the elusive, hop-smoky, garden-of-Daphne fragrance that the perfumed woman daintily emits that I think she's the one and only real thing in long draD- cries. It's because she typifes the fem mine woman. Gimme a Tyre, or harp, or a fuglehorn, or a kazoo-any old thlng-that may sing the praises and the glories of the feminine wom- an!

SALT FOR DOMESTIC ANIMALS.

Ii Is said that during the middle ages
when man was not so humane no greater
punishment could be inflicted upon his
victims of cruelty than to imprison them
and deny them salt In any form, which
would insure q slow and excruciating
death by reason of the digestive system
becoming infested with worms and para
sites, and the skin becoming spotted
with eruptions, says Farmers Voice.
The domestic animals that are denied
salt will certainly become diseased and
stunted, especially so during the season
Of the year when they have no green
feed. / am of the opinion that the
neglect of regular rations Of salt for the
hogs will sooner or later beget condi-
ton that invites germs Of swine plague
and Of cholera. Rock salt conveniently
placed for the hogs and sheep is better
than pulverized salt for the purpose,
Lumps of ten or fifteen pounds each

the horse as pulverized salt. Where II

all the water stock need dilute the foot

for Mckinley. but pledged their states
for him in November The total vote
cas-, was $50, all OF which were for Will
lam Mckinley. Colonel Lafayette
Young OF Iowa withdrew Delivers name

A Risky FEAT.

The Bowdoin sophomores spent most
OF week shooting at freshman ban.
ner which some '03 boy, with more agil-
lty and nerve than respect for his life,
had fastened to the lightning rod which
tips one Of the twin spires Of Kings
chapel, $50 feet or more from the ground.
The sophomores who had sense, restrain
ed one or two classmates who would
have risked their lives BY climbing up
after the banner. Finally the shot and
the wind brought down the little nag
and It now grsces sophomore apart
ment.
This Is the fifth time that q student
has hszsrded his life to gain that dizzy
height far above the tops Of the campus
trees, for the sake Of fastening his class
banner there, and 1t Is almost miracu-
lous that no fatalities have resulted. The
only way to climb the tower, after the
roof Of the chapel Is left, Is by means
Of the lightning rod. The course is al
most perpendicular and ut one place the
rod curves out around = coping which
projects two or three feet. IL is fear
fully difficult and dangerous task, and
not one boy In hundred could do IT,,
even II be were foolhArdy enough to at
tempt 1t. The first student to reach the
top, or TO attempt the feat, was Cilley,
81, son Of General Cilley Of RocklAnd I,
and grandson of the famous Maine con-
gresham who was shot in duel with .
Southern member. He fastened his ban
ner to the top Of the spire In his fresh
man year, and suffered no worse injury
than badly blistered hands. Later q
member of 90, whose name escapes US,
took down this banner and replaced IL
with one bearing his own class numerals.
Several years passed, and then Moulton,
'9s. then freshman, later varsity foot
ball captain, duplicated Cilleys feat,
while the following night Mcmillan, '97,
took down the freshman banner and re-
placed II with large, sophomore one.
Both these fellows were light, wiry
athletes, and, being used to ships, height
had no terror for them. College tradi-
ton relates that the sophomore, McMil-
Ian, when perched on the tip Of the spire.
calmly sang "Nesrer, My God, TO Thee"
while little group Of his classmates
shivered In terror In the darkness below,
awaiting his return. The name OF the
present freshman who has revived the
spire-climbing craze, Is not yet disclosed
by his classmates, but It Is generally be-
lieved to be member Of the class who
hss had several years experience before
the mast. Some day, q student will get
killed while irving to do what has been
done safely i've times, and Bowdoin
students will lose their ambition to climb
TO fame by means Of the Kings Chapel
lightning rod.

petusted by placing It In the hands OF

and making IL their duty to decorate the
graves Of the fallen soldiers. He thinks
II would not only be appropriate that
the citizen soldiers should do this, but
being an organization which must al

danger Of an ultimate failure to observe

THE SMALL COLLEGES.

DR.. Pearsons, the Chicago philanthro-
pist, who has given $4,000, 900 to seven
teen OF the smaller colleges Of the coun-
try, answers the criticism that Is fire.
quently passed on the practice Of max
ing gifts to what are sometimes called
fresh water colleges by declaring his be-
lief to be that the student In the small
college does more studying, has more
pleasure, is closer to his teachers and his
mates, and suffers less from high press-
ure athletic distractions than does the
student of the big institution. He picks
out some examples Of the colleges he
has aided and describes their work at
some length. One 10 plain college
with no frills out In Colorado Springs.
Some Of the sturdy young fellows who
90 to that college have packed their
slender wsrdrobes two or three hundred
miles over the mountains on their
own shoulders, and DR.. Pearsons reckons
that they could brand . steer or tend q
sluice better than they could do the
honors at full dress party. Still, he
says there Is no finer material In the
nation than these same boys, and he Is
for them every time rather than for the
boys Of the big universities. Boston

MAKING CLOVER Hay.

Nearly every one in writing or talking
about making clover hay advises putting
it all In cocks when quite green and al
slider this method practical where one
has large area 10 put up, says Colon C..
Lille In Michigan Farmer, l will admit
that it Is probably the ideal method, es-
pecislly II one has enough canvas caps
TO cover all the cocks, but am con-
vinced that cannot afford to do this. IL
costs too much TO put IL all In cocks.
and fair quality Of hay can be made In
another way.
When the work Is all cleaned up for
hsying and the weather looks fair, l
start two moving machines toward
night, when the sun Is nearly down, so
the hay will not make any that night,
aud have them run till dusk; then as
early as We can get at II In the morning
we NOV till the sun gets hot and the
clover begins to make, then stop. Now
your clover will all make alike and will
be ready to haul st the same time. II Il
not necessary to NOW the evening before
II you can cut sufficient in the morning
for one days hauling.
As soon as the clover Is well wilted on
top, start the tedder. and don't stop the
tedder for dinner or anything else until
the clover Is all tedded out. This clover
must all be raked into windrows before
the dew begins 10 fall, and We leave IL
in this condition over night. Some
would say, put IL In cocks, but II Ia not
only the labor OF putting IL into cocks,
but the next day these cocks must all be
put back In the form of the windrow, so
the loader can be used, and | am con-
yinced that this costs more than Ii Is
worth. The clover Is all in snug wind
rows before the dew falls, and the now
er can be started again that evening and
the next morning for another batch. The
next morning AS soon as the dew is on,
turn the windrows bottom side up with
the side delivery rake and by noon they
are ready to haul. II the clover does
not look quite dry enough Ii will make
considerable in passing over the loader,
and as there Is not particle OF external
moisture on IL, II will make excellent
hay and keep well, too. The hauling
must all be completed before the dew
falls, as IL will not do TO put clover In
the NOW that is wet with dew. With
good weather the clover-making can
move along day after day with clock
like precision, and large crop be Sc
cured In q short time. But suppose
there comes q shower. II IL comes In
the afternoon We are caught; and some
hay is injured, and there is no help for
it. would rather have good soaking
rain on hay in the windrow than to have
partly made clover lie In the swsth over
night In heavy dew.-Mirror.
