Why We Need Hobbies,

Business is not inseparable from
higher things. Men may be born gro
GERS, but need not live only as grocers.
Solon and Thales, wise men of the
Greeks. were merchants; Plato peddled
oil; SpinOza, the philosopher, mended
spectacles. Linnaeus was a cobbler as
we'll as botanist. Shakespeare prided
himself more upon his success as a
stage manager than as a dramatist.
Spenser was a sheriff. 1t might require
a rather strong wrench of the imagina-
ton to imagine sheriffs of to-day writ
ing another 'Faerie Queen"-but why ?
Milton taught school, as have almost all
great men. Walter Scott, the wizard of
the North, was circuit clerk and prac-
teal man of affairs; Grote was a Lon
don banker. Ricardo stock jobber and
Sir Isaac Newton master of the English
mint. Paul was a tent-maker and the
Great Gentleman an apprentice at a
carpenters bench.

awoke me in the morning, l could not at

before were not themselves a dream.
Mathis were ended, and the villagers
were scattering about their farms and
households, when l noticed Pierre loiter-
ing stealthily about the presbytery, as
if anxious not to be seen. He made me
a sign to follow him out of sight, round
the corner of the church.

a troubled tone, that monsieur who came
yesterday has not left the valley. | fol-

But where is he then?' l asked, look
ing down the street, with thrill of fear.
Madame, whispered Pierre. he is a
stranger to this place, and the people
would not receive him into their houses

Pierre, the house is like a lazaretto. No

Attacked by a Heron.

"I've hunted everything from gray
squirrels to grizzlies" said a veteran
Philadelphia sportsman, land the near
est 1 ever came to being seriously in
jured by any sort Of game was one
time when a wounded bird attacked
and tried to kill me.
81 was a boy then, and went down
to a creek that flowed through my faith
er's farm to watch for mink. 1t was
early in the evening and blue heron
came and sat within tempting gunshot.
1 knew it would spoil my chances at
mink to shoot the bird, and didn't in
tend to do it, but, kidlike, raised my
gun and took aim just to see how l
could kill it if would. lowered the
gun and then raised it again. Every
time 1 raised it 1 would touch the trig-
ger gently. After a while touched it
too hard, the gun went off and started
toward the heron, which was wounded.
81 thought it would be good scheme
to catch the bird, and started to do so,
when it's bill shot out like a sledge
hammer and struck me between the
eyes. When 1 came to my senses it
was dark, and it was several minutes
longer before l could remember where
l was or what had happened. A little
harder" said the sportsman, accord
ing to the New York Times, land the
bird would have killed me. l shudder
even yet when l think of what would
have been the result if the bill had
struck one of my eyes,"

Il don't understand you,' l muttered.
He had spoken in an undertone, and l
could not raise my voice above whis-

his shoulders. Il know all about Dr.

FOOTBALL ARMOR.
How the Players Protect Themse1ve
ON the Gridiron.

How the Players Protect Themselves
ON the Gridiron.
The player has three projections
against injury, writes Julian Bur
roughs, in Leslie's Weekly. First and
best of all is his muscle. When the sea-
son begins the men are given long hard
work with the dumbbells, and this is
kept up for some time. Most of the men
begin to play in school. Years of train
ing, not Of football alone, of course,
have covered them with hard muscle,
which is like a suit of armor. 1t binds
covers, braces, supports and wards off
injury as nothing else can. Secondly.
the covering of clothing protects the
muscles themselves from bruising, and
covers the points that the muscles do
not. This is mostly leather-for the
rules forbid any metal-and seeks to
protect the points most subject to in
jury without hampering the players
movements. Ankle supports, laced up
tight; shinguards, like the greaves of
the ancient Greeks; thick leather he'll
met for the head with cotton padded
flaps over the ears, make up the leather
fittings. A thick rubber noseguard adds
a touch of gentleness to the players ap-
pearance. This last is bound to the head
above, and is gripped firmly with the
teeth below, while the wearer blows
fiercely through the air-holes at his op-
ponent.
The men are taught how to fall down.
Falling down seems quite simple-some
people come by it naturally. In fact, one
watching a game Of football would say
the only difficult thing about falling
down was to stand up. But to fall down
so that piling dozen or so of 2OO-pound
men on top of you does not crush a
bone is not so simple, and the men must
be taught. Soon formations are tried
without opponents; ex-quarterbacks,
centers and backs are on the field, Of
ten in football togs, teaching the men
how to form Interference and run off
signals. Soon two teams are selected
and made to play each other; then a
varsity and second team are picked,
every man being carefully ''tried out"
until the worthless ones are dropped
and the best men are on the team.

Apple Tree bOTcrSs
Apple growers through the country
lose annually many trees from the raw
ages of the apple tree borer. There are
two species, one of which is known as
the f1at-headed borer and the other the
round-headed borer. Both are shown
in the accompanying illustration. By
taking proper precaution many apple
trees could be saved if watched care
fully.
All trees should be closely examined
early in the fall, when the young lar
vac or worms, If present, may be de-
tected by the discoloration of the bark,
which sometimes has a flattened and
dried appearance. Exuding sap and
the presence of sawdust-like castings
give the clew to their whereabouts.
Whenever such Indications are seen,
the insects should be dug out with
knife or other sharp-pointed instru-
ment. Those which have bored deeply
into the wood may be reached by a
sharp, stiff wire thrust into the hole.
They can also be destroyed by cutting
away the bark at the upper end of the

The Secret of Success.


One day in huckleberry time, when little
Johnny F4ails
And half a dozen other boys We're start
ing with their pals
To gather berries, Johnny's pa, in talk
ing with him, said
That he could tell him how to pick so
he'd come out ahead.
First find your bush," said Johnny's pa,
''and then stick to it till
You've picked it clean. Let those go
chasing all about who will
In search of better bushes; but it's pick
ing tells, my son
To look at fifty bushes doesn't count like
picking one"
And Johnny did as he was told; and sure
enough, he found,
By sticking to his bush while all the 9TH
ers chased around
In search of better picking, twas as his
father said;
For, while all the others looked, he work
ed and so came out ahead.
And Johnny recollected this when he be-
came a man;
And first of all he laid him out well
determined plan;
So, while the brilliant triflers failed with
all their brains and push,
Wise, steady-going Johnny won by
sticking to his bush.'

Hints About the Horse,

Teach a horse what you want him to
do and he will always do it.
Plaster scattered on the stable floor
keeps down bad odors and purities the
air.
Don't put your horses feet in unskill-
ed hands. Good feet are spoiled by bad
shoeing.
Keep your horse feeling good by pro-
per food and care and he will more
than repay you for the little extra time
you give him.
Feed your horse as near the ground
as possible; when eating low down
more saliva becomes mixed with the
food, aiding digestion.
ALWAYS treat the nervous horse with
kindness, patience, forbearance, and
never make any quick or sudden move
ment or loud talking if it can be avoid
ed.
Tie your horse so that he can lie
down comfortably at night. 1t is a
practice with some grooms to tie a
horse so he can't lie down, to save
work in cleaning him the next morning.
Don't bring your horse in hot from a
drive if you can help it; if you do, rub
him thoroughly dry. A slow jog or
walk for a short distance before up-
hitching will cool him off quicker and
save much work.

Ruildiup a Small Ice House.

If ice is readily obtainable during the
winter, there should be small ice
house on every farm, holding enough to
last through the summer. A cheap
house may be built by making an ex-
cavation, in circular form, ten feet
deep, walling it with brick or stone, or
even heavy planking, and having the
wall come up two or three feet above
the surface of the ground. On this
wall is built the top, which may be
round or octagon and running to a
sharp point. This wooden portion may
be built Of rough lumber. A door is
fitted in one side and around the out
side the soil is mounded up under the
caves and back for several feet to form
a perfect watershed. In packing the
ice air must be excluded, and this rule
is as applicable to an expensive ice
house as to a cheap one. Sawdust is
the best packing material and should
be used in liberal quantities both be-
tween the cakes of ice and as a layer
over the top. If the ice is properly
packed it will keep well in the very in
extensive structure described.

One is the use of improper crates, and
the other crowding of the fowls in the
crates. In the first case sometimes the
crates used are too heavy and some
times too light. The last error is made
usually by poultrymen who have been
in the habit of shipping more or less
breeding stock and who use light crates
to save transportation charges over
long distances. The heavy crates are
generally used by farmers and are
made Of any loose material they happen
to have on the farm. The crates should
always be as light as it is possible, and
still have it strong enough to bear
rough handling, and each fowl in it
should have a space equal to that re-
Quired for it to turn around in COM
fort. If this sort of packing is done
the fowls will reach the market in good
condition, and there will be none
smothered, as is usually the case when
too many are packed in a crate. Don't
ship the culls and half-starved fowls
to the city market, but send only the
plump birds and those in good physical
condition, if you would get the highest
prices.
