Question No. 2.

The sexton of certain country
church usually makes the most of an
opportunity and is not above giving
what he describes as "a gentle int" to
the sightseer.
The other afternoon he had conduct
ed a party round the church, and de-
spite the casual dropping of more than
one gentle int" it appeared as if the
sexton was to go unrewarded.
In the porch the leader of the party
paused moment, thanked the old sex
ton profusely and wished him good
afternoon"

here many years."

what may the other question be-"
What calls question number two,

Mrs. Louise Osborne Person of Chi
cago" says the Boston Transcript,
"has invented an army ration, made of
pork and beans baked into a thin,
dark-colored biscuit, four inches long
and two wide. 1t is seasoned to taste,
and is said to be as palatable as 1t
is nourishing. Mrs Person studies
languages at Vassar and took helors in
philosophy at Wellesley. So became
interested in food problems through
the work of her sister, Dr. Grace Os-
borne. who is professor of hygiene in
she Woman's Medical College of Chi
cago. The two women worked out to-
gether the relative values of different
kinds of nutritive substances, and the
biscuits are the result. Mrs Person
went to Washington recently to con-
suit with the army department on a
proposition TO supply the food to the
troops"

The Kate Shelley Bridge, which is
nearing completion in Iowa four miles
west of Boone is one of the largest in
the world, and the origin of its name
Ia interesting. Twenty years ago, be-
tween Boone and Moingona, an engine
went through the bridge at the time Of
a raging food. From her widowed
mothers cottage near by a
maiden of sixteen years saw
the engines headlight disappear
in the raging torrent. Lighting
a lantern she went away through the
storm to Moingona, told of the disas-
ter. and saved passenger train from
following the Inflated engine to
watery grave. The state of Iowa gave
her a medal for her bravery, her name
has been celebrated in poetry and
prose, and now it has been decided te
name this new viaduct the Kate Shell
ley Bridge.

Calves from three to six weeks old,
and weighing about one hundred
pounds, or, say, from eighty to one
hundred and twenty pounds, are the
most desirable weights for shipment.
The head should be cut out, so as to
leave the hide of the head on the skin.
The legs should be cut off at the knee
Joint. The entrails should all be re-
moved excepting the kidneys, the l!v-
er, lights and heart should be taAon
out. Cut the carcass open from the
neck through the entire length-from
head to bumgut. If this is done they
are not so apt to sour and spoil during
hot weather. Many fine carcass has
spoiled in hot weather because of II
not being cut open. Don't wash the
carcass out with water, but wipe out
with a dry cloth. Don't ship until the
animal heat is entirely out of the body
and never tie the carcass up in bag
as this keeps the air from circulating
and makes the meat more liable to be-
come tainted.

Pictorial Dun11or


From the London Spare Moments:
A clergyman, taking occasional duty
for a friend in one of the moorland
churches Of a remote part of England,
was greatly scandalized on observing
an old verger, who had been collecting
the offertory, quietly abstract half
crown before presenting the plate at
the altar rails.
After service he called the old man
into the vestry, and told him, with
emotion, that his crime had been dis
covered.
The verger looked puzzled. Then a
sudden light dawned on him.
why, sir, you doan't mean that ould
half-crown of mine! Why, Oi've led
off with he this last fifteen year!"

Isaac T. Pratt, the veteran trapper Of
Bennington, VT, caught a bear last
week in a ravine traversed by the He'll
Hollow brook in Woodford 1t weigh
ed about 1926 pounds. The fur was in
prime condition, being thick long and
glossy black. This is the third bear
that Mr.. Pratt has captured within a
few days in that section and the sew
enty-ninth that he has trapped during
his lifetime. The bear was the largest
captured in Bennington county for
many years.

spoiled by Overweight.

Farm-Poultry, an influential Boston
publication, has of late been inviting
opinions concerning the proper weight
of the American breeds of chickens,
among which are the Plymouth
Rocks and the Wyandottes. We
should say that fully two-thirds
of the breeders who have exS
pressed themselves on the sub
ject take the position that the stand
ard weight is too high. 1t is claimed
that the medium-sized birds of these
families are almost invariably better
layers than those which meet the de-
mands of the standard in regard to
weight. One well-known poultry
judge, in his contribution to the dis
cussion, says that not more than one
Plymouth Rock in twelve which pass
through his hands at the shows is I'D
to standard weight. If the men who
patronize the shows meet with diff
Guilty in getting their birds no to
standard weight how much mor, of
task it must be for farmers who. as
a rule, can give but fraction of their
time to the study of the problen ms of
the poultry yard And if this aeavy
weight is obtained at the sacrifice of
the laying qualities why not cut it
down? Some advertisers take great
pains to have it known that their
birds are fully up to standard weight.
Farmers should know that they can
easily pay more money for that kind
of Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes
than they are worth.

1t has been discovered that it would
be possible to use the same calendars
every twenty years-when the dates
of the months fall on the same days
of the week-thereby avoiding the ex-
pense of five almanacs for the present
century. But here is something even
better than that. Those persons who
might be able to get hold of calendars
for the twelfth century would find the
days and dates coincident with the
present century. Again, those with a
frugal mind who have preserved the
almanacs of the nineteenth century
will avoid an outlay for calendars Of
the century commencing Jan. 1, 2201,
as the dates for the hundred years fol-
lowing will be like those of the last
century.

The figures now secured show that
the chance which the British soldiers
had of being killed in South Africa
amounted to more than 2ls times the
risk they would have incurred in bar
racks in England. Thus stated, the
mortality seems small, but what must
be borne in mind is that during short
periods, say few hours at time dur
ing the war, almost every man has
to run risks many hundreds times as
great as those of ordinary life, and
that a half hours brush with the en-
envy carries a concentrated danger
which would mean certain death to

The question of destroying plant lice
by fumigation is live one anu one
that is being exploited OF old we USED
to kill rose lice with the fumes OF To-
bacco. The present mode Includes the
killing of tree and plant insects by
more powerful gases. Thus the San
Jose scale is being disposed OF by the
assistance of hydrocyanic gas applied
to the trees when the latter have been
covered with big tents With small
peach trees the application becomes
easy. especially when the trees are
low-headed. Later experimenters are
using the same gas to destroy lice on
vegetables. Small caps are made, to
be placed over each plant, and inside
is dropped a small amount OF the
chemicals that make the gas. In ten
minutes the insects are all dead, and
the plant uninjured. The process is,
however, only in its experimental
stage.
