It's the name that counts, you know.
The ingredients? Well, they consist
of the juice of a lemon, a dash of bit
| ters, a glass of apple cider, a fresh
egg and a spoonful of powdered sugar.
That is well shaken, poured into a tall
glass and filled up with sparkling soda

The regrassing of wasted cattle
ranges in Nebraska, Wyoming, Colo
RADIO, Utah, Montana, Idaho, and the
Dakotas is to be attempted by the
railways penetrating these states, ac-
cording to a press report noticed, in the
/ Engineering News. Says this journal:
1.-THE first problem to be solved is the
| finding of a grass plant which will be
/ suitable for stock purposes, and to this
| end 5000 or 1000 acres is to be fenced
| off and divided into 30 smaller plots for
| experiments in planting. These West
! ern cattle-ranges have been ruined by
/ too much crowding and by sheep. The
| latter especially, if too much punched,
| soon destroy every growth except sage
| brush with their sharp teeth and
| equally sharp hooft. 1t is expected that
! once the feasibility of regrassing is
| proven, the federal and state govern
| ments will lend their aid to the move
! nnent."
In the Kings Armory, London, which
for year has undergone thorough ex-
animation and revision, it is interesting
| to note that, although there are swords
| of greater age, there are no suits OF
mail of date earlier than the Tudor
| period says the Buffalo Commercial.
| One set of arInor is known to have
| been worn by Henry VIII; another
piece of harness is identified as having
! belonged to Charles l, while a third
! suit is notable as having been the
armor of Henry, Prince of Wales Gu
riously enough, this interesting re-
search amongst the armored tenements
! of men who have long been numbered
with the dust confirms Solomon's dc
! tum that There is no new thing I'M
| der the sum-" or, at least, proves the
! proverb that History repeats itself.
| Practically all these coats of proof were
made in the Germany of their time; so
| that made in Germany" is, after all,
no new phrase.
THE interesting fact is noted, in a
recent United States consular report
from ROuen," says Casters Magazine,
that automobilism, directly or indl-
| rectly maintains more people in France
than any other industry All the fac
tories have tripled their output during
! the last three years, and manufactur-
| ers formerly making cycles now pro-
| duce automobiles. At first paris was
/ ,at,f1 los
| made, but now Lyons, Bordeaux. Mar
settles, Lille, st. Etienne, Nantes, and
Rouen have factories to supply local
| demands By reckoning all the work
men in the various branches that are
| benefited by the automobile industry,
a total is obtained of nearly 100000
| persons dependent upon it. The gen
eral consensus of opinion among the
| French makes is that the big machine
! is thing of the past because of the
| restrictions upon speed in all. The de-
mand is growing for a strong, light,
and comfortable machine Of modern
| speed for general use
"A recently published book of mem
oirs tells this story of King William
w of England and the Duke of Cum
| berland, his brother: During dinner
| loud voices were heard, which soon
| became more vehement. Both broth
! ers had drunk more than usual, and
| the Duke had lost his temper and his
| head Then, for the first time, King
| William suspected the idea which
| from that time was never out of Duke
! Ernests mind, that he ought to be
| the next King of England should no
male children survive his brother
William ". The Duke, rising, said:
| Call in the suite, 1 am proposing a
c sn6 va
King The suite came in and drank
| it. Then the Duke said: May 1 also,
sir, propose the next toast? Name it,
your grace, replied the King. The
Kings heir proudly said the Duke,
and God bless himi' A dead silence
followed. Then the King, collecting all
his energies and wits, stood up and
called out: The Kings heir: God bless
her!' Then, throwing the glass over
his shoulder, he turned to his brother
and exclaimed, Ny crown came with
lass and my crown will go to a lass
Every one noticed that the Duke did
not drink the toast He left the room
abruptly"
DIR. Romanes submitted his favor
tie setter female dog to a most severe
test, says the Gentlemans Magazine.
He collected eleven men about the
place and directed them to walk close
Behind one another in Indian file. each
man taking care to place his feet in
the footprints of his predecessor. In
this procession DIR. Romanes took the
lead. After walking 200 yards he turn
ed to the right, followed at an agile
to the left, and walking as before In
single file The two parties, thus form
ed, then walked a considerable dis
lance and concealed themselves. The
female dog was then put upon the
common track of the whole party. She
followed this track with rapidity, and
at first overshot the point of diverg-
ence, where the band split into two
| parties; but, quickly recovering the
| track, she, without any hesitation,
| chose the footprints to the right. Yet
| in this experiment the footprints of DR..
! Romanes in the common track were
| everlaid by eleven others. Moreover,
] though it was the gamekeeper who
| brought UP the rear and went to the
| left, and as in the absence of her mas
| ter's track the dog would always fol-
! low the keepers trail (the fact of his
scent, being second uppermost in the
series), the animals attention was
| never diverted from her masters trail;
| for to get to him was the object of her
| desire.
Somebody, says Good Health, has
studied the question, How much
wheat is required to make a given
quantity of pig?" and claims to have

ninety pounds of wheat will make ex-
