CONDENSED STORIES.
John Habberton's Prank and Its Last
ing Effects.

John Habberton, the author Of
"Helen's Babies" told at dinner
party recently an interesting story.
q am" he began, ga cousin of the
New 1orl publishing family Of the
Harpers, and [ worked for the Har-
pers in my youth, learning with
them the printing business. Well,
one day they gave me the manu-
script of a book of Ruskin to set
up. 1t was The Seven Lamps of
Architecture or THE Stones Of
Venice I think. At any rate it
contained long passage in praise
of the work done in the world by
the great artists-by the poets, the
sculptors, the musicians, the archi-
tects, the painters, and SO on-and
l, for mischief, changed one word in
this passage. [ substituted for
painters printers
''Of course I thought the proof
reader would catch the error. My
idea was that we should all have a
little laugh at Ruskin's eulogy of
the printer along with such fine fell
lows as the musician and the poet
and that then the types should be
set right again. But somehow my
willful blunder missed the proof
readers eye, and in that and every
following edition for many years it
appeared; hence thousands OF Amer
leans have admired the perception
and the originality of Ruskin in
praising so highly the work Of the
humble printer, thanks to me. I,
by the way, didn't discover how this
error had endured till recently. I
took up the volume, saw printer
where painter should have been,
and the memory of that youthful
prank of mine came back to me. I
wrote Immediately to one Of my Har-
per cousins, confessing all. His an
swer was a letter of three words
You young rascalp I am not pre-
cisely young rascal either" Mr..
Habberton concluded, smoothing
his gray hair.

you will see an ordinary flight of

them. But if you look at the steps
for some time you will find that
they suddenly seem to turn upside

Bells were in use in China, Japan
and India long before they were
known in Europe. In the space
fronting the temples of Nikko,
Japan, there are enormous bells of
exquisite purity of sound too heavy
to be suspended in any tower which
this people build, and SO they are
swung on low frames of stout tim
Der, the bell being only three or four
feet from the ground.
They are rung by means of bat

hands. They give out soft and

Tho Exper,-ncc. Of Others.

The poultry raiser Is 90 often In
clined to work out the problem OF
poultry raising rather than to take
from others his information. This is
especially true IL the owner OF the
poultry happens to be a farmer with
Just a few hens. For when he was a
boy he took care OF chickens, and that
IS the start he has or thinks he as
of others. But the great world around
us is full of wisdom that has been
gained by the experiences of a thou
sand lives, none Of those lives running
parallel to the others. 1t has been
said that a man can learn more in
one year by taking information from
others than he could gain in his own
experience in twenty years. The say
ing. unlike many popular adages, is
true. The first thing a new man at
poultry raising should do is 10 go
systematically about learning from
others. This will cost him something
in the way of time and money. but 1t
will be the best investment he can
make.

Summer Outing In Tabioids.

Air in pastilles is the latest novelty
for those who look forward to a
Utopia in which the hours of the
working day will no longer be cut into
by breakfast, dinner and tea, but
when mankind will simply have to
swallow a few meat tabloids and
leave Nature to do the rest as he goes
about his business.
The invention is the work OF M.
Georges %Jaubert. of the EcOle Poly
technique, Paris, who has discovered
a combination which, when dissolved
in water, gives of oxygen.
Two pounus Of air pastilles made of
this combination will produce aod
litres Of oxygen, and the benefit of
the invention in theatres. hospitals,
mines and submarines is evident at a
glance. II means, in fact, that a trip
to the seaside is to be bought from
the nearest chemist and enjoyed in

Remarkable Pedestrian Feat.

A remarkable performance on the
road was that of John Cooke. whose
death was announced in July, 1919.
He was generally known throughout
England as Jack the Greyhound" on
account OF his leetness in running.
In the old coaching days he ran for
long distances by the side of coaches,
throwing somersaults every few
strides. On one occasion he resolved
TO attempt the journey from London to
Birmingham, accompanying the mail
coach for the whole distance. He ac-
tually performed this exploit, keeping
pace with the coach by taking an al
ternate number Of steps and somer.
saults. But this combined speed and
agility did not ave him from the
w%orkhouse, in which institution he
died.

they have in La Belle France? In
New York the weed we call spinach
would constitute the knife and fork OF

gestive apparatus. That is. there is
enough sand in a basket of spinach in
the New York market to restock the
craw and gizzard of a barnyard roos-
ter. A miserable little handful of this
s%ilicated, moth-eaten stuff is sold for
Is cents. When cooked it makes q

The Lambs Worst Enemy.

The lamb has its enemies and the
shepherd that can succeed in constant
ly getting a crop of lambs on the mar
ket without serious loss is deserving
of n statue. The stomach worm Is
the worst enemy of the lamb. We
have read and studied and expert
mented with all or nearly all of the
~so-called remedies, worm powders,
gasoline, turpentine, and so forth, but
the conclusion OF the whole matter
is that in the long run they do not
pay. The damage to the lambs thrift
is not compensated for in results. Our
theory, which we have partly lemon
strated by practice, is to feed the
ewes and lambs grain until the lambs
are in the habit of seeking grain IN
their own account. then feed corn in

digestion and keep the stomach In

rule don't shirk their work, whether it

when, after the piping of the
'bo'sun's' shrill whistle this order
was heard during the blockade Of

preparations were made to begin the
work.

only the hardest kind Of work, but it
Is often attended by accidents OF a
more or less serious nature.
In spite of cotton bales used for
tenders to keep the ships apart while
coaling during the Spanish-Amcrican
war, the heavy plates of several col.
liers were stove in. men were injured
and II cost the government thousands
of dollars to repair damages. to say
nothing Of the loss OF the Use of the
collier while it was sent to a drydock
for repairs.
This has all been changed now by
the introduction and adoption by the
navies of the United States and other
countries, after extended experiments
and severe tests, of a device known
as the Miller marine cable way, in.
vented by Spencer Miller, of this city,
a mechanical engineer and a member
of the Society of Naval Architects and
Marine Engineers.
Almost identical with the present
overhead galloway system used in
New York's streets by the subway
contractors is this new device, which
has, instead of derricks at each end,
Z the masts of two ships. In other
words, while the warship lows the
collier, the bags of coal are sent whiz'
zing across the water by a series OF
wire ropes kept at a uniform and suf'
ficient tension to prevent them from
touching the waves.
