NOTHING TO DO BUT EAT
FOOD TESTS AT WASHINGTON, WASHINGTON,
Healthy Young Men Wanted to "Try''
the Doctored Food
Products.

81 Washington, July 15.--W ashington may
be tramp's paradise and repetition OF
the Coxey decent on the capital Will not
be impossible when DR.. H. w. Wiley,
chief chemist of agricultural department,
inserts In the papers an advertisement
which he is preparing something like
this: Wanted--Six healthy young men
with nothing to do but eat.
/ Congress has directed the agricultural
department to experiment and report on
the effect Of eating foods which have been
artihcially colered or, preserved. DIR.
Wiley holds that he cannot make these
experiments unless he has some one to
experiment on.
The healthy" young men wanting to
do nothing but eat may be sorry after
they have eaten, but they will be under
observing care of DR.. Wiley and their
condition at all times will be recorded in
history. sg
This eating test will undoubtedly be
watched with the greatest interest by
manufacturers of "doctored" food stuffs.
Whether there is any ground for antagon-
istic legislation against American food
products by some European countries will
be one of the objects sought to be cleared
up by this eating test, # 5&@

Pleasantries of War.

A reader has sent us the following
story of General Viljoen, which, he
says, is absolutely true:
While on the way to keep an ap-
pointment with the Boer general, our
correspondent met friend of his, an
officer in the Scots guards, who had
seen service in South Africa.
"By the way, I'm going to see an
acquaintance of yours" he said to
the officer-"General Viljoen."
ooh, he is no friend of mine," was
the comment. "He once stole our
convoy and we had to go on quarter
rations for a fortnight
Later our correspondent told Gen
eral Viljoen of his meeting with the
officer and what the latter had said.
The general laughed heartily at the
story. ''Tell your FRIEND" he said,
II did not steal his convoy. l only
borrowed it.''-London Express.

RIMS a Crow Farm.

The only crow farm in the United
States is operated by a farmer named
Billings at Brookdale,a few miles from
Susquehanna, Pa The industry is a
new one, but it is evidently a paying
one
Crows generally have no place on
farm, as they are the bane to the ex-
istence of many chickens, and the idea
of a farmer starting q farm for their
own particular benefit is truly nov
city, but Farmer Billings is a specula-
tor as we'll as farmer, and the rea-
son of his interest in crows is that
they are a salable commodity. There
is a great demand for the birds from
milliners. and it is to this trade that
Billings is catering.
He has set up on his farm an incu-
bator, such as are found in hennerles,
and in these young crows are hatched
out. He has taken into captivity about
100 crow hens and about one dozen
cock crows. Within fifteen days after
the eggs are placed in the incubator the
young crows are Matched. Two weeks
later they are in condition to be be-
headed. The head and feathers OF the
birds are sold to milliners to be used
in the decoration of women'S hats. AL
ready there has been an exceedingly
heavy demand for the product Of the
farm, and Mr.. Billings anticipates a
generous return on his Investment

Origin of "Watered Stock"

who was once the wealthiest and
most unique manipulation in Wall
street Drew had been drover in his

before selling his cattle in the market
he would first give them large quanti-

then provide them with all the water
they could drink. In this way their
weight was greatly increased and the
purchaser was buying ''watered

One Sparrowless Spot

It may seem impossible to most
readers that there can be single place
in the United Kingdom where the spar
row is never seen, and yet, on the au-
thority Of Prof Newton, F. r. S.,
there is such a spot-the moorland
village of Shepstor, in Devon. Why
the ubiquitous bird should shun this
place is not explained, but it is an in
disputable fact that it does. 1t is all
the more remarkable because the spar
row, like trade, follows the flag"
Wherever the British go there the spar
row is found. 1t has a tendency to
drive out all the native birds of the
country in which it chooses to settle.
