IN the haymoW, when we heard a soft
scackle and a -uff1ing Of plumage. Com

hen brooding a nest, her bright bead
eyes turning nervously from side to
side; and, coaxed out from her pro-
tecting wings by youthful curiosity,
came four kittens, eyes wide open,
warn, happy, ready for sport! The
sight was irresistible, and Phoebe ran

her most sacred feelings were regarded
In the light Of a cheap entertainment
She held her ground. while one Of the
kits slid up and down her glossy back,

Cutlery for Lunafics..

Cutlery for lunatics was recently
advertised for by the British admiralty
Office, and it brought to light some
unusual cutlery that, while made reg
.ularly in Sheffield for the past twenty
years or more, is but little known.
The knives have perfectly dull, round
blades, with small cutting area about
an inch long situated in such a way
that It cannot be used except for the
purpose intended The fork termi-
mates in a small, round ball, on which
there are three prongs about half an
inch long. The idea in this unique
cutlery, of course, was to devise knives
and forks arat could not be used as
instruments OF attack upon attendants,
nor for self-muti ton.

A bas relief of Clodion, representing
fawnss nymphs and cupids at play, has
been discovered in Paris punnery:
The relief was carved for the Princess
Louise of Condo, in the eighteenth cen

figures were covered with plaster. A

PLANT VERSUS MOSQUITOES.

In Venezuela, the castor-oil plant
growing around houses is believed to
keep mosquitoes away In that coun-
try the plant grows to the size of a
tree and is perennial, whereas in more
temperate climates it attains a height
of only four or five feet. But United
States Consul Plumacher at Maracaibo
thinks the plant would be equally eff
fective against mosquitoes anywhere.
By keeping the branches and seeds of
the plant in a room, he says, the, pests
are driven away.

Quite q Polite Dog.

Max Muller's dogs were quite as no
torious part of Oxford as himself.
He had two dachshunds, one black and
tan, called Waldmann, another red,
called Maunerl, own brother to Geist,

poet wrote splendid epitaph. They
We're generally we'll behaved, but they
were not above making incursions in
to the gardens of Prof. Muller's neigh

Maunerl was sometimes seen with his
head In an odoriferous garbage bar
rel. However, their master thought
he might train Waldmann and Maun-
erl SO they could distinguish colors.
He had one basket for his black and
tan dachshund, Waldmann and anoth-
er for his red dachshund, Maunerl. The
black dog looked the best, Prof. Null
Ter thought, on a red pillow, and the
red dog on a blue one. In these two
baskets they slept fer years. When
their master said "blue bed" Maunerl
would go into his; when he said "red
bed" Waldmann would jump into his.
They never mistook one for the other.
One day Mrs. Muller was sitting in the
drawing room when Waldmann came il
evidently much disturbed She asked
him if he wanted to go out t have
dinner, to have water. No, it. was none
OF these; but he kept running to tho
door, then waiting and looking back.
AT last Mrs: Muller got+u and follow
ed him, and he led her to the dining
room. There, in the red bed, lay a

Germany, and Maunerl was in his own

Little Bo-Peep had three white sheep.
They walked along behind her
For fear She would go so far away.
That they would never find her.
The little sheep walked on two feet
And dragged their tails behind them:
But little Bo-Peep walked on ahead, \
And never thought to mind them.
Little Bo-Peep took care of the sheep
With q crook with ribbon around it,
And wore a big hat upon her head
With high peak upon it. /

And the sky was blue above her.

Barley Malt and Barley.

Lawes and Gilbert of Rothamsted
Experiment Station, England, report
the result of an experiment in feeding
twenty milking COWS, twenty fatten-
ing oxen, sixty sheep and forty-eight
pigs On barley malt as compared with
barley. The malt was compared with
an amount Of barley equal to that from
which it was produced and sample
which had been taken from the same
stock. The trial was conducted in a
very careful manner and covered two
grades of barley, good. mating
barley and second grade barley.
LaWes and Gilbert write: The gen
eral conclusion from the results of the
direct experiment with COWS, oxen,
sheep and pigs, is, that a given weight
of barley is more productive, both of
the milk of cows, and of the increase
in overweight of fattening animals.
than the amount of malt and malt-dust
that would be produced from it. =
So Irrespective of economy, malt
is undoubtedly a very good food for

A weak point in the graded school
system is that clever pupils are held
back to the general level of the class,
or dull pupils are discouraged and
crushed" by the advancement of their
mates. The board of education in Ba-
tavia, New York, seems to have
remedied this difficulty by providing
larger grade-rooms in which twice the
usual number of children can be as
.sembled under two teachers, one teach
er to conduct the classes and the
other to give all her time to helping
the slower scholars. "The effect of the
change was instantaneous" writes the
president Of the board, Sin putting
confidence into the laggards, in max
Ding them the equals of their brighter
neighbors, in giving an onward move
ment to the grades, in relieving the
teachers Of all strain, and in ending
after-school drudgery and home work .
To attain any one of these results
would warrant pretty radical meas
nres.

Two new uses have been found for
the camera, both of which are helps
in detecting violations of law. One is
the photographing of cases of cruelty
to animals, or the results of cruelty.
This serves a double purpose. A pho
tograph is the best evidence that can
be produced in court, and it arouses
public sympathy as nothing else, ex-
ceptt the scene itself, could do. The
other application is in making pictures
of the smoke nuisance. Many cites
have ordinances against the use Of
soft coal, or restrictions on the time
during which it may be used; but vio-
flations are frequent. Here again the
testimony of a photograph is hard to
contradict. The name first given to
the hand cameras now so common.
seems to have been an appropriate
one. They were called detectives.
