It is said that when the first Chinese
came to California the Indians were
very curious about them. A dispute
arose among some of them as to what
country the strangers might hail from
and whether or not they were Indians.
The Indians, wise as the Puritans of
old, decided to apply the water test.
If the accused swan, they were
witches; if they drowned, they were
tQnocent.
One day a party of Indians met
party of Cinnamon approaching a lit
tie stream. The strangers approached
the bridge and started across. The In
dams, too, filed across and, meeting
the Cinnamon in midstream, pushed
two of them into the angry, spooming
current below. The test was conclu-
siYe. They could not swim. They
were not Indians.

How to Detect a Cheap Shoe.

'It takes a rainy spell to show up a
cheap SHOE" says a shoe dealer. 'Tt
can be spotted by an observer on a
rainy day, though it may have come
within an hour from the store. Watch
the feet Of people the next time it rains,
and you can pick out the inexpensive
shoes. A cheap shoe always slips when
the pavemen6s are wet. Artificial stone
pavements especially show them up.
The sole of a cheap, common shoe is
made Of imitation leather, composed of
pressed paper, and water softens it and
makes the wearer slide along while
walking. You can always tell cheap
shoe in this way."-Indianapol News.

be the most expressive in English and
that they are peculiar to the language

The Greatest Surrender.

The greatest surrender in the annals
of warfare was that of Metz on Oct.
27, 1870. As a fortified place Metz,
with it's surrounding forts, was practi-
cally improbable, but bad generalship
permitted it to be completely surround
ed and cut off. The surrender included
2 field marshals, sc generals, 5000 Off

How Russia Does Il.

Russia has a policy independent at
once of accidents, autocrats, shifting
Government bodies, and of all PERSONAL
ties weak or strong. With the accumu-
lated force of past achievements, an ur-
broken tradition, and great military tor
oes r1assed on frontier which is no
frontier, Russia among the other powers
now masquerading in the Far East IS
as the iron vessel floating among the
earthenware pots. Russian publicists,
in order to strengthen the dominant
position to which they aspire, have been
proclaiming with increasing 1ns1stency
that they are the only nation who can
deal with the Chinese question because
they are themselves an Asiatic people,
They justify this pre'ension by their r.
primitive Asiatic military ethics, and it
Is an instructive spectacle to see their
forces massacreing Chinese populations
wholesale while their diplomatlsts are
ostentatiously shielding those in hlgh.
places from the just consequences OF
heir crimes.-From "The EnglishmdH t''

The Pea Louise.

We hear Of some who say they will
not try to grow green peas this year,
because they lost their crop last year
by the aphis or plant lice on the vines.
We would not cease to plant them for
two reasons. If the insects came on so
abundantly as to threaten destruction
of the crop, we would pillow them in,
which would destroy every insect, and
the green crop would be good fertiliz-
er on which to grow some other late
crop, as winter beets or cabbages, or
to set tomatoes, or to sow spinach or
kale for next spring. But more than
that these plaques of plant lice are sell
dom troublesome more than two or
three years in succession, often disap-
pearing as suddenly as they came,
while if no peas are to be found they
can as we'll live on the clover as on
peas. If there are peas they prefer
them to clover, and they are destroyed
with the peas.-Exchange

Grade Mothers.

1t seems to be a principle in breeding
that when two animals of different
breeds are mated, the influence of the
one which is the nearest pure bred, If
both are ia equal vigor and strength,
will be the most potent in its effects
upon the offspring. If one is weak or
in poor condition, the other may attain
the ascendency, as surely will be the
case with the one that is of pure bred
and the other only grade When
both are equal in breeding and health,
IT is unsafe to predict which parent the
offspring will most resemble, as 1t may
vary according to their condition at the
time of mating. This will explain why
MANY who have begun to grade up
their herds by the use of pure bred
male have succeeded better than those
who have tried to effect a cross be-
tween two good breeds. And this Is
trne of poultry as of animals.

Raising or Buying Feed.


Where the farmer grows the fodder
and grain for his animals he is justified
in feeling that it has cost less than it
would If he paid the cash for it in the
market if he has been successful in get
tang good crops. He has made mar
ket for his own labor the labor of his
team and use of tools, and for the ma
nure that was waste product of his
stock. All of that forms part of his
profit, and the crops may be said to
have cost him the seed, hired labor and
fertilizer bought. But it may not be
the cheapest feed for him to use. He
may be able to sell it and purchase 9th
er food materials that would give him
enough better results to repay him for
the labor of drawing both ways. Bran
and gluten feed produce so much more
milk than corn meal that he may sell
the corn he has raised, and buy the
other feeds which he does not raise.
Other foods are better for hens than
the corn, or even than oats. The man
who tries to be so independent as Meth
er to buy nor sell, had better set up
hand loom and a cobblers bench, to
save spending money for clothing. We
could fatten hogs and cattle on turnips
and onions cheaper when we sold them
and bought our corn than we could to
have fed the roots, and we thought
cheaper than if we had grown the corn.

The Mental Processes of the Rat.

An interesting series OF experiments
has just been carried out at Clark Uni
versity, having for its object the men
tai processes of the rat. Several mazes,
made of wire netting, were constructed
after the pattern of the Hampton Court
Maze. They contained several blind
alleys and false passages, and food was
placed in the central enclosure. Into
these mazes rats were introduced, and
their actions closely studied by con-
cealed observer. The observations led
to certain conclusions. Thus, the fe-
male rat was found strikingly inferior
to the male in the ability to reach the
food in the central enclosure. The
initial movements in the maze were in
definite, and success in reaching the
food for the first time, apparently, for
tuitous They rapidly learned by prac-
tice, and could soon find their way to
the center with facility, showing only
slight indecision at the entrance to the
blind alleys They seemingly lacked
the faculty of imitation altogether, and
probably did not follow each other by
scent. One other remarkable fact in con-
nection with the experiments was the
outbreak of the instincts of play and
curiosity after the edge Of the appetite
had been du11ed-Ne9O York Post.

Weights and Measures.

The old saying that "a pint is a
pound all the world round does not
hold good with the many grain feeds.
They vary much, and as the papers
when giving balanced rations usually
express themselves in pounds, while
the farmer usually feeds by measure,
dipping it up with the handy two-quart
measure, it may be well to know just
what a quart weighs. We copy from
the Rural New Yorker this table,
which we think is nearly accurate for
weights of a quart. Coarse wheat
bran u pound, coarse wheat middlings
As pound, wheat, mixed feed, 3-5
pound, fine wheat middlings IL pounds,
linseed meal the same, gluten feed IL
pounds, gluten meal II pounds, corn
meal and cotton seed ~ pounds each.
To dip up a measure full of fine mid
dlings is to give more than twice as
much as to use the same dish full of
coarse bran, which may be good rea
son why many get the best results
from feeding the finer grain, while
corn meal weighs three times as much
as the ran-Massachusetts Plough

The Round Silo.

AS every student Of mathematics
knows, the circle is the shortest line
which can inclose any given area.
When the material for building a silo
is an important object to be considered
the round silo will contain more than
any other that can be built at the same
cost for lumber, and thus it is the better
form for many, but we think not for
all. A silo built in the barn taking one
or more of the bays used for hay, ana
extending from the cellar floor, II there
is a barn cellar, to near the roof, can
often be nut in at small cost, simply by
lining the outer walls and making
strong partitions on the inner sides, and
the space so taken up will not be need
ed for hay unless the stock kept is to be
increased, as the ensilage in it will
feed more animals than all the hay that
could be packed in it, as farmers NOW
away their hay. Of course we are not
speaking Of baled hay, because the
farmers do not often bale hay that
they intend to feed out at home. But
cubic foot of ensilage in a silO eighteen
to twenty-five feet deep will average
to weigh about forty pounds, which is
fair amount to give COW each day
with the hay and grain that should go
with 1t, and a farmer can very easily
figure how large space would be need
ed to provide food for his stock. Many
Of them could not as easily figure the
solid contents Of a round silo if given
dimensions, though they may have chill
dren who have graduated from high
school who could do SO. But the silo in
the barn requires but little extra lum-:
Der and no extra roof, and it keeps the
food very near where it is wanted.
Those who have limited capital often
have to choose the cheaper way if it is
not the better way-New England
