his hair. Her pleadings were in vain.
Seeing entreaty was in vain, the queen
had recourse to stratagem. She caused
a quantity of fine hair dye to be sent
from Paris and put in the kings dress
ing room. together with directions for
its use, making. however. no allusion
to the subject. The king, too. said
nothing. though he could not fail to see
the pigments.
Now. the queen had large white
poodle of which he was very fond.
What was her horror few days later
to see her pet come running into her

to a jet black. King Umberto had ex-
pended the dyes upon changing the
color of the poodle's hair! From that
day forth the subject of hair dye was
dropped between the royal couple.

The Vampire Bat.

South America. especially Venezuela,
is the home of the vampire bat that
horrible animal whose blood sucking
propensitios are SO wen known. In
Venezuela the vampire when caught is
often made the subject of an expert
mout that is as curious as it is cruel,
though in connection with such a loath-
some animal as this giant bat the cruel.
ty is rather naturally lost sight of by
the people who have to suffer from its
raVagcs.
The vampire is captured in a thick
cloth. 1t is then taken out. and through
its two extended wings nails are driv-
en-. securing the animal to a door or Il
wooden paling. 4 cigarette is then
lighted ana placed in the bats mouth.
At once the animals eyes shine
strangely. and it begins to puff the
smoke in and out with frenzicd gasps
its actions being exactly those of the
most hardened smoker, keeping firm
hold of the cigarette the while between
It's sharp. deadly teeth. When the Gig
arctic is nearly finished. a blow on the
head puts an end to the animals eX-
istence.
The extraordinary part of the expert
ment lies in the fact that the bat does
not at once reject the cigarette. as he is
| of course at liberty to do. There are
many who affirm that the bat really
does enjoy the tobacco. The probabili-
ty is that the animal is so maddened
by fear and pain that he puffs away
unreasoningly and tiercely, his instinct
telling him that in the properties of the
tobacco lies oblivion.

Poultry In the south.

A large poultry farm is being devel-

sections of the south poultry is recei

This is particularly true of the nearby
southern sections. which are sendii g

much improved over what it was in
previous years and shows that the
standard is steadily being raised In all

A PORTRAIT.

The mason's hand is rough and SCARED,
The mason's back is stopped and bowed;
His brow, close bent above the stone,
With lines of strenuous toll is plowed.
Small ease his honest years have known,
For Labor claims him as her own.
With skillful hand he carves and chips,
His chisel on the hard stone rings.
The gray dust flies about his head,
And ever at his work be sings
simple Groom Of boyhood's day,
Timing his chisel to the lay.
And all in reverence pause
Where he sits careless on the stone;
hail him one of Labor's kings,
The humble seat his rightful throne,
For yesterday beneath his blow,
Wondering, | saw an angel grow.

The Duke Of Wellington once declar-
ed that there was nothing so stupid as
a saiianS ofncer, ana correspondent
of the London Times complains that
while the British officers are as brave
as brave can be they are mostly stu
pid." This charge is not brought
against the British navy. In explana-
ton Of it Navy and Army illustrated
says: when an army officer is careless
or stupid in handling his men. he rare
ly kills anybody. 1t Is otherwise with
a naval officer. II he is careless or stu
pid, he will in all probability not only
come to dismal grief himself. but will
bring 1t on others. Therefore there IL
a perpetual stimulus to efficiency in the
case Of naval officer, and his SUPERB
ors have powerful motive to be sharp
with him. An easy going colonel or
general may tolerate shams In field
days and maneuvers, but the admiral
or captain who wants to sleep with
some confidence that he Will not be
walked by collision or a stranding
cannot make light Of neglect on the
part of the officer Of the watch.-Army

SHIPPING BOX.

reduce the size of the package as much
as possible first by shipping younger
and therefore smaller animals and then
by the selection of lightest packages.
He says: Just at the present time a
great deal Of shipping Belgians is being
done. In the comparatively few in
stances that have been shipping rab-
bits, pigeons, ETC., have made use of
light box the upper corners of which
had been cut away and the cover re-
placed by light Stats. The illustration
makes this plain. To have the boxes
especially light prefer to make them
of white cedar or linden, of course well
seasoned. Common store boxes, how
ever, may be fitted up in this way and
come handy for shipping small ami

Honey Packages.

purpose quite well. Enough Of second
hand candy pals may be picked up
during the summer at our different
grocery stores to store several tons of
honey. Their cost is only 10 cents, and
they need but little cleaning.
I have used regular butter tubs for
the same purpose. The wooden pail I
would not fill until the honey is about
ready to granulate. AS soon as it is
solid the covers may be nailed on and
the net weight marked on each of the
packages, when they will be ready to
ship, says +. Greiner in American Bee

are two golf clubs, and the members
are very enthusiastic. 1t is near the

1t is almost impossible to keep the golf
