Supposed Feat of strenath.

Procure a piece of thin board of
soft wood, say pine; it should be
foot and half in length and a couple
of inches wide. Place it upon
binary kitchen table, allowing the end
to protrude half its length almost be-
yond the edge of the table, covering
the board to the edge, and smooth it
out carefully, being sure that the pa
per is in perfect contact with the
board as well with the table. Then
announce to the company assembled
that, with other fastening upon the
board than the sheet of paper, you
propose to strike the end of the board
to tilt the table. 1t will appear i'm
possible. Every one will imagine that
the newspaper will be torn in two <
soon the end of the board is struck,
smart, sharp blow with the hand or
instrument, and the board will
either break off or tilt the table, and
remain fast to it, just if it had
been nailed fast. The explanation
is simple When the blow is struck
there is tendency to tilt the end of
the board upon the table, but the
air having been pressed out from
under the paper a semi-vacuum has
been created, and the compression of
air upon the outer side of the paper
holds the board fast.

What the Brook Saw.

In shady spot of COO green wood
a little brook rested between its messy
banks. The air was heavy with the
warm scents of summer and all around
the voices of the forest were whisper
Ing softly. They told strange stories
of the far away world OF men and
sang of love and happiness and many
other wonderful things; while over all
the yellow sunshine rested lovingly.
The little brook was content to loiter.
and dimpled delightedly in the very
joy of existence
From its bed in the mountain it had
come 1ourneying swiftly down; past
narrow jutties and through high SOM
Der walls of rock But the gay little
brook laughed at their grimness with
a merry tinkle, only tumbling bolster

its haste to reach the warm blue sky.

As it continued it's riotous course.

sunlight, it left tokens of its good

feathery ferns and waving grasses
with a shower of shining rainbow
drops In the modest heart of the
A100en violet, 1t left a single jewel
more bright than any diamond, and
down the thirsty throat of the dark
blue flag, it poured tiny stream of
crystal clearness.
Then on and on; slowly through
meadows and cortland fields, where
the little ground people came out to
drink and to gather the news brought
by the brook from all along it's way.
And softly stealing under dainty
bridges, where many a rustic knight
had wooed and won his lady, the little
brook dubbed on
And into the deep still wood it stole,
where the sunlight glimmered fitfully
through the leaves of the tall oak trees
and cast green patches of light on. the

The robins song was stilled, and the
buttercup thought of another than

stopped his p1undering and listened,
and the wild rose and the butterfly
were still. Then the breeze lovingly
touched the baby's cur1s and the lit
tie brook overlooked it's banks and
ripp1ed caressingly around her rosy
ankles
The little maid smiled lovingly upon
the whole forest family, then, turning
suddenly, ran swiftly away, looking
back to bid them last goodbye.

Boys Who Have Succeeded.


Most of the great mercantile sue
cesses of the present time, says
writer in the New York Times, had
relatively recent small beginnings.
Merchant prince and captain of indus
try are not hereditary titles of bust
ness nobility. A majority of those
who bear them to-day started life
poor and unknown: a majority of
those who will bear them ten or ff-
teen years hence are to-day working
for wages relatively small salaries
The successor of New York's greatest
and richest merchant, with whom sue
cessfu1 competition seemed impos-
sible, was an errand boy In a book
store in 1852. The most conspicuous
ly successful of American manufac-
lures and richest man in the United
States was a telegraph messenger in
1850. A majority of the men who are
recognized at the top to-day began
at the bottom within the memory of
the present generation. Those who
will be at the top twenty-five years
hence are to-day apprentices, clerks
laborers, messengers or unknown
traders in a small way.

Horse Shortage i'm New Hampshire
Prof Charles w. Burkett, of the
New + mpshire station, says:
There is too little horse power in
the state to properly till and cultivate
the soil. We have thousands of acres
of tillab1e land in the state (and what
is said here is true of all New Eng
land) that have not felt the plough
share for a long series of years, some
for decades, some for half century

quite able to supply its full needs and
could have to spare for demands else

ers themselves, not only to increase
the number of working horses but to
improve them and make them more
secviceab1e.
By using the better grade of mares
for breeding purposes and having the
service OF some pure-bred sire of some
draft or coach breed of good type and
conformation, it would be but a short
time until the character of the whole
horse stock were changed into a bet

SELLING the Mind.

1t seems incredible, but it is never
theiess a fact, that late as the
year 1914 an old waman named Bes-
sic Mile. of Pomona, in the Orkney
Islands, sold favorable winds to sea
men at the small price of Cd. vessel.
For many years witches were SuppOS-
ed to sell the wind The Finlanders
and Lap1anders made quite a trade
by selling winds. The old women,
after being well paid by the creduIous
sailors, used to knit three magical
knots, the buyer was told he would
have a good gale when he united the
first knot, the second knot would
bring a strong wind, and the third a
severe tempest At one time winds
were sold at Mont ST. Michael in Nor
mandy, and arrows were sold at the
same time to charm away bad storms.

quently affects them 1t lives on the
surface OF the skin and gives rise to
great irritation and itching by biting,
and is most frequent upon the sides
of the neck and shoulders, at the base
of the horns. and at the root OF the
tail. From these points it spreads to
the back and sides, and may invade
nearly the entire body. Its principal
manifestations are more or less nu-
merouS pimples, emulation, and abun-
dant scaling on of the skin, falling out
OF the hair, and the formation of dry
gray-brownish scabs. In the course of
time the skin becomes thickened, stiff,
wrinkled, and acquires the consist
ence of leather When mango has
spread over large surface of the
body, the animals lose flesh and be-,
come weak and anemfc, rendering
them constitutionally less able to
withstand or combat the effects of the
mites. At the same time the de-
creased vigor and Iessened vitality of
the affected animals favor the more
rapid multiplication of the mites and
the further extension and intensified
ton of the disease. Thus we have
cause and effect working together,
with the result that scabies, or mango,
in cattle may in some cases prove ia
tai; especially are fatal examinations
liable to occur in the latter part of a
severe winter among immature and
growing animals, or those of adult and
