A Mystery Of Sound.

Sound is one of the simplest
things in the world, and yet to
many persons, both young and
old, it is one of the most myster-
ious. Tell them, for example,
that the fall of a tree in q forest
makes no sound in itself, and they
smile incredulously: or, If they
believe you they confess that they
cannot understand it. When you
say that the presence of some
person or some thing with ears is
absolutely essential to the pro
duction Of sound, they seom IN
able u grasp the idea, and con
tend that the fall of the tree does
make, and cannot help making a
noise, which is there, all the same
whether there is anybody to hear
it or not.
But they are wrong, of course,
for there is no sound except in
the ear. In the making ofasound
there are three essential eondi
tions. Let us take this illustra.
ton of the tree in the forest IT
falls and strikes the ground. That
is the first condition. Its strik-
ing the ground sets the air around
it into violent agitation. That is
the second condition; but there is
no sound yet, only a series of Vi
brations through ar, d spreading
out in every direction from the
fallen tree. These Vibrations it
must be remembered, are not
sound. They are only factors
that produce it, and they cannot
produce it until the third condi
ton is supplied, which is the tym
panum, or drum, of somebody's
ear, against which they strike
and thus makes a sound.
Sound, therefore, is nothing
but the striking of air vibrations
against the drum Of the ear, ano
cannot ex st out of it. The con
ditions that produce it exist out
of the ear, but the ear is absolute
| ly necessary to complete it.

Hats Oh at Sermon Time.

Reading, Pa, was asked WHY ne
issued special request to the
women attending his church TO
remove their hats during the ser
mon he replied.
"My church is not built in am
phitheater style Now, if the Ia
dies all in kindness and good
manner, in the theater where the
seats are gradually elevated from
the orchestra TO the rear, remove
their hats during the play, 1 am
sure the ladies of the church will
willingly do as well. No church
woman will allow a theatre woman
to eclipse her in good manners.
1 say theatre woman with all due
respect TO the many good women
who attend theatres.
cit is primarily question of
good manners, and then it has to
do with the work of Christianity.
It is annoying to dodge behind a
ladies' big hat to see the preacher,
You know, many peoples eyes as
sist their ears. They hear better
if they can see-at least, they SO
imagine.
"Apart from that, people want
to see the minister when he is
preaching. Ii they are compel
ed to dodge about, it annoys
them and mterferes with the
proper understanding of the ser
mon. 1t isannoyingand distract
ing, the minister sees a dodging
congregation and that has its eff
feet on thedeliyery ofthe sermon.
"There is no Biblical lesson in
this at all. Among some of the
Pennsylvania German sects the
good women folks, old and young
take off their black silk hoods at
meeting, but retain their white
caps on their heads, so as not to
be in opposition to the Scriptural
text that women must sit uncov-
cred. OF course there would be
no opposition now to thin white
swiss caps in our church but mod
ern millinery is another matter
"There will be no difficulty for
thewomenin any crowded church
to remove their hats. am told
that the ladies' in theatre place
their hats on their lap and the
audience looks homelike and al
ease quite comfortable and gen
tcel look as if they had come TO
stay awhile. Nov, that is my
idea for the church. I want the
men who have their hats off to be
comfortable and at ease, l am
sure the women folks will also be
at ease, because they object to be
sitting behind big hats.
Women of refnementall agree
with me. They are quite willing
TO take off their hats. Beauty or
attractive appearance has nothing
to do with a matter like this. But
this / will venture Any woman
looks best with her hat Off they
say I may not Judge, but at

not in it.
''Fo be sure, people like to look
their best, which is quite proper,

They Cannot Be Published.

sued an order that newspapers
which publish notices of raflles,
drawings or other games of
chauce,or who publish the names

be excluded from the mails. Ac-
cordiug to the post Office depart
ment the publication of such mat
ters is a clear violation Of the law
against lotteries, and the manner
in which it was violated by many
newspapers has caused the postal
authorities TO make the above

HORSES FOR THE FARM.

Farm horses need weight. Without
weight they are not draft animals,
but better suited for driving pur-
poses. BY weight is meant enough

heavy loads Of grain, ETC., on the farm
and to pull without unndue fatigue

ments utilized in farming according
TO modern methods. ; At5@
We are told by the advocates Of
small draft horses that they are
quicker than the larger animals and
will do more work in 4 day. II may
be said that under cersAin conditions

very heavy horses are of greater use.

A draft horse weighing 1900 pounds
and having good bone and constit".
tion will acquit himself creditably un.
der nearly all conditions II properly
trained and handled. But a big horse
that is tricky and mean is worse than
small horse having the same unde-
sira ble traits.
The farmer wants team upon
which he may safely depend when
hauling grain, coal or wood or when
plowing stiff soil or narrowing mel
low loam 1t is claimed that heavy
horses "have too much to carry" and
therefore cannot endure as much ex-
ercise as smaller horses. Is IL not
fact that these larger animals have
stronger legs and better muscular de-
velopment than the small horses
Certainly. Then why should they not
be able to get along just as well?
We believe If we were going into the
business we should buy mares. The
korse-breeding business promises to
be even more profitable than.it now
is. and IL the farmer will buy two or
more good mares and breed them to

not only can do his farm work with
them but raise colts that will more

determine the kind of horses

Point. on Horse Feeding,

Writing in Drovers' Journal, C. p.
Reynolds says: The horses stomach
is built for more highly concentrated
feed than the OK. He cannot take the
same kind simply because he has not
the capacity to digest IL in sufficient
quantities to supply his system with
the needed nourishment. The result
is when too much hay is fed the horse
becomes badly pot-bellied and is un-
able to secure the required nourish-
ment TO work at the best advantage.
A working horse should have plenty Of
grain, which furnishes his nourish-
ment in the most highly concentrated
form that is practicable to feed. 1t re-
quires also certain amount of hay,
but the hay is not to supply it with the
main portion of it's nourishment. The
most experienced teamsters are rely
ing on grain for the main portion of
the feed, not only because experience
has demonstrated that it is the most
economical, but that it is also best for
the horse.

that tells on the ledger Of profit and
