The Kings Finger Bowl.

When member Of the royal family
comes to dinner, it is point of eti-
quette to provide none but the illustri-
GUS guest with finger bowl at the end
of the banquet. The other diners must
get on somehow without that conven-
ience.
The reason Is curious one. In early
Georgian days one never knew who
was loyal. Every other man might be
Jacobite in his secret heart. Now, it
was piece of Jacobite ritual whenev-
er the toast of ''The King was drunk
secretly to pass the goblet over any
water that happened to be by the
drinker. This was supposed to con-
vert the toast into that of ''The King
Over the Water" the exiled Stuart at
Rome or st. Germans.
On this becoming known the court
insisted that there should be no water
within reach of any guest, and the pro-
hibition still holds.-London News.

Judge Davis was one day in his prf-

A woman came into the room to see
him. He turned and said. well, mad
am, what can do for youY She was
neatly dressed in black, with an air of
extreme poverty. She told a wretched
tale of sorrow and suffering. winding
up with the climax that she and her
little family were actually starving and
had not tasted food for two days. The
Judge seemed deeply moved. He ex-
cused himself for not attending to the
case for the moment. as the senate was
nearly ready to open.
He looked at his watch with an air
of vexation, as If it were not going.
and said, Can any one tell me what
time it is?" His visitor pulled out a
gold watch and told him the time. The
judge said. "Can it be true that your
children hsTe been without food for
two days when you have a gold watch
in the houseY The woman saw the
point Of the judges question and called

One Thing and Another.

Wellman's Fife and Stanley wheats
are recommended by the upper PENN
sular station of Michigan as strong
growers and heavy yielders.
Western experiments with the Cold
en- vine field pea indicate that the early
blooming period is the best time for
harvesting, so as to secure the greatest
amount Of dry matter and food ingre-
dents.
Pound for pound, the Utah station
finds pea vine hay more valuable than
1ucern hay.
Flax grown in Sitka attained a height
OF more than three feet, matured seed
and produced excellent fiber.
At the upper station of Michigan jap
anese millet was grown last year which
attained an average length of 6 feet 8
inches, and great many plants were
seven feet high. The yield of the plot
was at the rate of 13 tons of green fod-
der per acre.
A great enlargement of the fax acre

Irish Lacemaking.

After the famine of 1S47 lacemaking
was revived in Ireland. Limerick. the
most successful Irish lace, is not real
ly lace at all. 1t is tambour work up
on net and muslin
The Irish point. so called, is the an
cient cut work, being made in quite the
same way.
Net was first made by machinery in
176S. The machine was an adaptation
Of the stocking loom to lacemaking
and was cumbrous and not very effect.
i've. In 1909 John Heathcote, a farm
er's son. evolved from consciousness
and experience the first machine to
make true bobbinet with perfect six
sided holes. 1t brought great hue and
cry about his ears from laceworkers,
who fancied they saw themselves. thus
reduced to beggary.
The Luddites broke into the factory
and made scrap iron and kindling wood
of them. The only result was to drive
the new manufacture to other and
safer quarters. For long the secret of
the machines construction was most
jealousy guarded by English manufac
turers. Not satisfied with letters pat
ent they kept up coast patrol to make
sure that nobody took model or draw
ings to France.
At last, though, they were outwitted.
A discharged workman who had the
plan Of it in his mind managed to get
safe over sea and build machine in
France.

Fish and the Alphabet.

Perhaps the funniest thing to be. told
respecting the antiquity of fishing re-
lates to the holy wars which were
waged in ancient Egypt over the finny
denizens o the water, the conflicts
arising from the circumstance that, as
often happened, one tribe would insist
with the utmost irreverence upon eat
ing up the fishes which the inhabitants
of an adjoining territory held in divine
alteration.
The child of today, In learning his al
phabet, calls the letters by their names
simply because the ancient Phmnicians
were pleased to make similar figures
the symbols of certain sounds, and it is
thought very likely that the Phani-
clans have been driven to invent that
alphabet by the necessity of CORE
spending with peoples of varioua
tongues incidentally to the great com.
merce which grew out of the fishery.

inside of the pen or feeding lot. The
trough is set just outside the inclosure.
From Is inches to 2 feet of the bottom
of the partition or fence, as the case
may be, is made to swing, being fas-
tened by strong hinges to the parallel
boards above. When feed is being
placed in the trough, this is allowed to
hang in its natural position and is Sc
cured there by the lever whose lower
end catches on the inside of the trough,
as shown in the upper figure.
After the feed is ready the lever is
pushed to one side until its lower end
clears the inside of the trough, and the
partition is then swung out and Sc
cured to the outer edge of the trough
by the lever again being pushed in po-
sition. The lever is attached to the
swinging partition by a single bolt.
This arrangement keeps the hogs away
from the trough until the feed is dis
tributed ready for them and also keeps
them from getting their feet in the
trough while eating.

Common Sense Notions and Expera-
ence I'm Potato Planting.

Common Sense Notions and Expert
ence I'm Potato Planting.
An experiment has been conducted
at the Canadian experimental farm
during the past three years in planting
potatoes at different depths in rows
27s feet apart and II inches apart in
the rows. The sets had at least three
eyes each and were about uniform in
size. The soil was sandy loan both
years. Level cultivation was adopted,
and thus very little soil was thrown
on the potatoes after they were covered
at the time of planting. The best
yields were obtained from planting the
sets only an inch deep.
In 1899 and 1900 it was found that
most of the tubers were formed within
four inches of the surface of the soil,
even where the set had been planted
six, seven and eight inches deep Where
the sets were planted less than four
inches deep nearly all the tubers were
formed between that and the surface
Of the soil.
The potato grows more rapidly liz
warm soil than in that which is cooler.
The soil within the first three or four
inches of the surface is warmer than
that three or four inches lower down;
hence the conditions are more favor
able for the potato. The tubers when
the potato is in the wild state develop
near the surface or on the surface of
the ground. 1t seems natural there
fore, that the cultivated potato should
be planted shallow.
On the other hand, much of the sue
,ess of shallow planting will depend
on the moisture of the SOIL If the sea
son is very dry, the first two inches of
soil may be SO dry that the potato will
not take root readily, and the season Of
growth will thus be shortened. Once
the roots hegin to grow they speedily
reach depSh where plenty of moisture
is found
1t seems reasonable to conclude that
where the soil is not dry the best re-
suits can be obtained from shallow
planting. In any case, early planted
potatoes will probably succeed best
when planted shallow, as the ground
will be warmer. In places where the
spring is late or where the ground is
cold, best results will probably be had
by shallow planting.
Although the best results have been
obtained in sandy loan soil by plant
ing the sets one inch deep, this meth.
cd is not recommended for field cul-
ture Unless the surface of the soil
Is kept loose and free from weeds, the
potato crop will not be large. In order
to kill large proportion of the weeds
which grow, the ground should be
narrowed once or twice before the po-
tatoes come up or just as they are
coming up. If the sets We're planted
only one inch deep aud the soil har-
rowed, many of them would be drag
ged out; hence about four inches deep
would be the best.

A Scottish Echo.

The late Sims Reeves was fond Of
telling story that related to an early
engagement in Glasgow which was ar
ranged through metropolitan agency.
One of the items OH the programme
was Hail, Smiling Mornw and Of
course Mr.. Reeves was put down for
the solo portion. The chorus consists
OF an echo, and the London agent as
sured the soloist that a satisfactory
choir had been engaged.
The whole matter was settled hur-
riedly. Mr.. Reeves was at first disin-
clined to accept, as other engagements
prevented him from reaching Glasgow
in time for rehearsal with the choir.
Don't worry about that, my dear
sir" said the agent. 'You will find
the choir perfect
The concert was a success. and in
due course Hail, Smiling Morn!" was
called for. When the soloist came to
the lines requiring an echo, he deliv-
cred them in his best manner-"At
whose bright presence darkness flies
away" Imagine his horror when the
echo repeated his words in the broad
est Scotch:
"Flees ava, fees awa'p'
Yet Sims Reeves averred that not a
person in the audience smiled or ap-
peared to see anything incongruous.
When he talked over the matter with
a bailie after the concert, the good man
assured him:
That's nothing at all You were
little wrong in your pronunciation. and
the echo was correct. You see, it was
a Scottish echo."-Youth's Companion.

The Cosmopolitan sheep.

The Merino as an intensely cosmo-
politan sheep stands without a peer.
He thrives on the rich alluvial bottom
lands, presenting a rotundity of form
that would do credit to some of the
smaller mutton breeds, and yields an
nually a heavy fleece of admirable
wool. We find this same hardy, con-
tented breed in hocks Of 1000 grazing
upon the plains and mountain heights,
industriously nipping the tender herb
age, without a sign Of constitutional
defect in the whole flock. 1t is these
peculiar traits of character that so en-
inently fit the Merino for transient
sheep husbandry. This breed largely
predominates in the semiarid regions
and is found to be perfectly suited to
conditions prevailing there. The ewes
cross well with the Downs and long
woods, and lambs from these crosses
are quite popular with the butcher and
feeder,
