As to Ninke.

"A distinguished colleague of mine"
said one of the physicians at the Wills
eye hospital, has discovered, or thinks
he has discovered, that the amount of
wear and tear on the eyes is deter
mined by the amount of winking done.
Thus, when we wink 10 times a minute
our eyes are suffering tremendously;
when we wink twice minute they
are getting along finely. The winks,
my friend claims, are largely deter
mined by the sort Of light the eyes are
being used in, and his experiments led
him to the conclusion that the elec-
trio light is the best of all for the
sight. For, in this light, the average
man or woman winks only is times q
minute. In sunlight there are 2.2
winks a minute; in gasllght, 2.S, and
in candle light, .S."-Philadelphia

MEMORY OF MoNARcHs.
The Repeated Initials Of Napoleon
and Henry w. Seen In Paris.

For nearly n century thousands of
feet every month have pressed the
present pavement on the river side
of the Louvre. in Paris. and as many
eyes have looked on it, and yet,
strange as 1t may SEEM not until the
pavement was quite recently repaired
were huge letters discovered that
take up the entire width of the way
Now, when attention is called to them,
outlines of repeated initials of two
sovereigns under whom the palace
was largely increased can be plainly
seen, and there they will be allowed
to remain, though the pavement all
around them be relaid. These paving
stones are supposed to have been put
down by Lefuel when he laid the pave
meut. and in front of the Pavilion
Lesdiguicrcs they are so arranged as
to form two large letters H." evil
IDENTIFY In memory of Henry w., who
finished the long gallery west of the
southwest corner of the original quad
rangle. Two letters IN" are in front
of the Pavilion Tremoille, initials that
recall the great Napoleon, whose vic.
tories in Italy gave him the spoils of
its works of art in the beginning of the
last century, that were placed in the
Louvre. which under his direction was
restored and completed and made the
repository of the art works of France.

DEER MARCHED TO MUSIC.

Him to Cover.

Him to Cover.
Col. j. NJ. brennan relates an in
cident OF his recent fishing trip at
Moosehead which presents story to
rank with both the tale of Orpheus and
that of Robinson Crusoe fiddling 10
his goats. Col. and Mrs. Drchnan
forsook the sport of trout-catching for
a time and crossed the lake to the Mas
terman farm, on the west shore, where
Col. brennan had been told the deer
came to feed every evening.
Camping near the Masterman place
was Mr.. Lougee, a woll-known violin.
list and leader OF an orchestra in Ban
gor. Col. brennan suggested to the
musician that he steal out to the edge
of the garden plot and treat the deer
to a few airs on the violin, just for
the fun of noting the effect.
The next evening Mr.. Lougee hid
under the cover of few branches and
waited for the deer to make an appear
ance. Pretty soon big buck pushed
through the foliage and began to feed.
The musician dashed off odd Zip
Coon" Money Musk" and several Of
the popular airs of the day.
The music was played softly at first.
At the sound of the first few measures
the effect on the deer was magical. He
stopped in his feeding and became the
soul of attention. His head rose slow
ly into the air and his whole body
seemed to eXpend till he had struck
one of his stately attitudes that one
notes in Landseer's pictures. The mu-
sic was mystery to him and held him
spellbound.
Finally the measures of q march
were sent gliding off the strings. The
deer became the soul of stately action
at once. With a loftier poise on his
head and antlers thrown back he
marched about the inclosure with q
grace that would surpass the perform
ance of the most accomplished high
stopper in horse show. At times he
would stop to show his appreciation
and bring his sharp hoofs down to the
earth in a forcible way. Then he
would go on with the march.
1t was the march that pleased the
deer evidently, for he was more than
pleased to trip off its measures. But
when "She May Have Seen Better
Days" or some other of the latter
day airs were played the deer showed
his disdain by clearing the opening
with a big bound and making away to
cover.-Boston Advertiser.

GERMANY's MEAT INSPECTION.
The New Law That Is Now In Force
There.

On april 1. 1908. Germany's new
meat inspection law goes into effect,
necessitating the erection of many
new buildings for use as inspection
stations. etc. ard among the experts
employed will be microscopists. vet
cr!n2ry surgeons and chemists, en-
failing a preparatory expense that
gives the law stamp of permanency.
It is believed that the inspection will
materially retard the importation of
meats, which amounted to over ST.
100000 in value last year 1t is re-
ported that butchers associations
have within the past two months held
many meetings to devise means of
stopping the continual decrease in the
supply of live stock available for their
use. The sale of fresh meat to the
laboring classes is steadily decreasing,
which accounts for the gain of over
s1,200,000 in the importation OF fresh
and smoked fish last year, as com
pared with 1900.

the birds while still warm. The fea-
theirs are then more easily pulled out
and there is less risk of tearing the
skin.
In some sections II Is customary to
have the feathers on the wings. The
shaping also varies somewhat, accord
ing TO the locality. AS q rule picking
is started by pulling out the feathers
In the wings. Then the fowl Is placed
ON the breast and the feathers re-
moved. beginning at the stern and
working to the neck. The bird is next
turned on its back, the legs and tail

Ducks are usually killed by thrusting

keys are killed by thrusting a knife

Farmers seldom have any difficulty

amateurs sometimes find the operation
difficult matter. 1t should be per-
formed humaneiy and mercifully.
though an ignorant operator may unin-
tentionlly be guilty of cruelty. An at
tempt to wiring the neck has been
known TO end in the head Of the bird
being twisted round and round, the
result being that IL comes to life again.
Wringing the neck is one of the most
painless ways of killing a fowl, and
with care, this should not be difficult.
The fowl must be held firmly by the
legs with the left hand, while the head
Is grasped with the right hand, while
the head is grasped with the right
hand with the thumb and fingers round
the throat. The bird is then placed
across the knees, breast downward.
with the neck held over the right
knee. The neck is then quickly and
firmly held extended sand the head
bent back suddenly with some force.
Rv this means the neck should be
,.ocated just below the junction with
she head. Another humane way Of
killing is to old the fowl by the legs
with - mead hanging down and
STRIFE sharp blow with a thick stick
scIosS the back OF the head. A sim
pie and effectual method is to hold the
fowl firmly by the neck with the hand
and swing the bird round, holding
the neck tightly, when the weight of
the fowl breaks the neck.
Chickens intended for market should
not be offered for sale in a rough and
unprepared state, or they will not real
ize the best prices. All the details of
killing. plucking and shaping must be
carefully attended to. The birds ought
to be kept without food for at least
Is hours before killing to empty the

The London Crowd.

One of the things that most i'm
pressed General Wood was the sto-
lidity of the London crowds. They
disappointed him. He heard so much
of British cheers" that he expected
to seq all American outbursts thrown
into the shade. Instead of that he
found less show of enthusiasm, even
when the King and Queen rode
through the city, than may be met
with any day in the States at a base
ball match. This is a comment which
American visitors often make, and
not without reason. The London
crowd is more hearty and vociferous
than the French or German crowd,
but compared with an American
gathering on any big occasion, a po.
litical meeting, for instance, civic
welcome to a victorious admiral, or
a varsity football match, it as Aber
waterfall to Niagara. On the other
hand, 1t Is claimed that Americans
do not really cheer; they yell.-,Lon.

Out of the soil comes directly or in
directly the worlds food supply. when
this is realized, the importance OF
keeping up the fertility of the land
Is apparent. Some believe that rota-
ton of crops, seeding down to clover
occasionally, win bring back the vir-
gin fertility OF Illinois and other prai-
rie lands. The addition of fertilizing
material will undoubtedly be of great
help, but this of course Is limited by
the cost. The question arises as to
what has become of the black loan soil
which so years ago covered all this
central west region. l believe the eX-
planation lies in the fact that of the
tillable land in the United States one
half consists of hills and rolling terri
tory. while the other is valley land
and river plains. When these elevat-
ed areas are cultivated, the rich soil
is washed off the highest points by
heavy rains and deposited in the val
leys, where fall plowing is practised.
This washing or transfer of soil is
carried on throughout the entire win
ter Some of the black loan Is washed
into the large creeks and rivers, but
the most of 1t finds lodgment at the
foot OF hills and knolls.
What can be done to prevent this
uneven distribution of rich soil? We
cannot depend upon clover alone, for
in addition TO the uncertainty Of get
ting a good catch, the crop freezes
out badly during a cold winter. Mel
ther can we depend upon stable ma
rure alone, as so percent of the farm
ers do not accumulate enough in one
year to cover five acres. Cover crops
should be sown in order to prevent
washing, and fall plowing on exposed
hillsides should be avoided. Some one
has suggested that the spreading Of
this deposited soil from the valleys on
the exposed uplands would be moro
than equivalent TO heavy applica-
tion of manure or several crops of clo-
yer. This could be done to a limited
extent at any tate, by means of wheel
scrapers. One man and team ought TO
cover half an acre day six inches
deep. provided he did not have to
haul it too far | believe the time will
come when machinery will be availa-
BILE for doing just this kind of work.
1t seems to me that an outfit could be
built for this exclusively. 1t would
go from one place to another just as
threshers now work for different farm
ers in neighborhood. 1t may be years
before this is accomplished, but / be-
lieve that it will come and that it is
he cheapest method of fertilizing
washy soils.-C. w. Allen, in Ameri-

Remove Any Corn.

Pineapple, in virtue of its active
principle. bromtetin, las consider.
able virtues as a proteld digestive.
The texture of the fruit, however, is
such that its undigestibility more
than offsets this virtue. DR.. Wyatt
Wingrave, however, finds that the ex-
pressed juice has a powerful soly elt
action upon plastic cXudate, such as
diphtheria membrane. This can h5
demonstrated in vitro, and though,
owing to the shortness of contact
its solvent action on membrane on
the throat Is necessarily slight, he
finds that it exerts a decidedly soften
ing effect on the stringy emulation,
SO as to admit of it's easy detach-
ment. He also uses with success a
thin slice of pineapple, applied for
eight hours. as means of softening
the horny epidarmis of corns, ready
for removal. Within his own special
province he has employed the juice
usefully for softenihg the horny
