Wooden Nutmegs In Rcieium

Connecticut, as the wooden nutmeg
State, must look to its laGrels. Bel
gium counts among its industries the
manufacture of artificial nutmegs,
which are found to consist Of finely
ground extracted or injured nutmegs,
mixed with about 20 per cent. Of min
eral substances and are said to be so
cleverly made rs almost 20 defy detec-
ton, especially when mixed with gen
sine kernels. The imitation can be
detected by various tests. On being
cut the kernels lack the well-known
plant-like structure OF the genuine;
they become soft when soaked in boil
Ing water; on being burned they leave
about IS per cent. Of ashes instead Of
the usual or per cent, and they
are heavier than the genuine.

sand-Fed Turkeys.

For some reason a seasoning OF
sand, seashore sand, on their food
agrees with turkeys" said a dealer in
poultry recently. ION that account the
best turkeys you can buy in this mar
ket are those which come from New
Jersey. Their flesh is finer, firmer anG
tenderer than that Of Pennsylvania
birds. My chief farmer, from whom
l get 1000 turkeys every year, tells mt
that the creatures insist on eating witt
the food which they pick from the
ground a certain amount of soil Every
turkey, he claims. eats two ounces OF
soil week. Now Pennsylvania sol.

His little "goo-goos" signify

He's innocent of all desire
In babyland to shine,
And yet the neighbors all admire
That little boy of mine.

He dearly loves a row.
And oft l wish he stop his noise,
And smooth his troubled brow.

Where tiny sparkles shine

They Are Well Drilled.

An interesting exhibition was wit
messed by few visitors at the High
school building Tuesday forenoon, in a
fire drill by the pupils. At 0:12 Super
intendent Kerr gave the order to the
drummer boy Jos. Barley, to sound the
alarm, and hardly had the first beat on
the drum been made until the pupils Of
the nine rooms were in the hall and FL
ing in perfect order out of the building,
all of them having passed through the
cloak room and taken their hats and
wraps. The time from the first alarm
until the 45O pupils were out of the
building, was little less than two
minutes. They countermarched into
their respective rooms and into their
seats and the entire time consumed from
the first alarm to leave the room until
the pupils were seated was five and one
half minutes.
The quickness with which the build
ing was cleared, without any confusion
whatever, proved beyond doubt that
the danger of loss of life or injury to pu-
pills in case of fire is very slight. if any.

Jugs EATING UP A CHURCH
Costly Stone Edifice In Ohio Almost
DESTROYED by Beetles.

Bugs are eating up the hundred thou
sane dollar Presbyterian church in
Middletown, O., one of the handsom-
est stone edifces there, writes a spe-
cial correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean. The walls on both Main and
Fourth streets are made unsightly by
the many holes bored by the insects.
and especially around the Fourth street
entrance, where the sun shines all day.
there are myriads of holes. many OF
which are large enough to insert a lead
pencil in. The stone about the holes
crumbles readily to dust, and the work
of destruction seems almost complete.
While each stone penetrated by the
bugs is ir~reparably ruined, it does not
follow hat the handsome structure is
in any immediate danger of collapse,
and it may last for some years. The
tower seems to have been first attacked
by the insects, as it has suffered the
most. Viewed from Main street below
Fourth with a pair Of opera glasses, it
is seen to be literally a mass of holes.
One stone near the top of the tower
about six inches thick and two feet
long is in such a bad state that it has
almost fallen to pieces. Holes to the
number Of thirty-six were counted in
this one stone. The corner stone has
three deep holes that penetrate it for
the length of a lead pencil.
The bugs that are doing the mischief
are a sort of beetle that is common in
the sandstone region, but has never
been troublesome in that section be-
fore. They are black in color, about
an inch and a half long and have pow
erful m~andibies, with which they easily
cut their way into the soft stone They
are very strong for their size. Their
mandibles are about a quarter of an
inch long and are as hard as ivory.
The bugs have been examined by
Professor J.. e. Mexican of the public
school board, who says they are the
most destructive insects he ever saw.
They can run very fast. They have
four legs and also have long. black
wings. Their eyes are like glass and
about as large is a pin head.
