leaning tower of Pisa. At Cremona
there Is a campanile, 396 feet high, and
grand architectural work. 1t is the
tallest Of the Italian towers. But the
tower of Pisa. Oh account Of its pecu-
liar and startling appearance. leaning
nearly fourte III feet out Of the perpen-
dicular, is more widely known. 1t
used to be classed as one of the seven
wonders Of the world, and pictures Of
it have been published in school books
the world ove.: for century or more.
The tower is 40 feet high and so
feet in diameter. 1t Is cylindrical in
form. The summit Is reached by $50
steps. Some people have an idea that
the tower was built out Of the perpen-
dicular, but this Is not the fact. The
fault wa. manifest before the tower
was completed, and extra braces were
put in place to guard against disaster.
The upper part Of the tower was built
Of imitation stone to tighten the
weight, and finally the seven bells
were placed in the top of the tower in
such a way as to cOunteract by their
gravity the leaning Of the tower. The
largest Of these bells weighs 10000
pounds. The tower Is divided into
eight stories, each Of which has an
outside gallery projecting seven feet.
Time and again scientists and others
have predicted the imminent fall of

1t Was o Hopeless Case.

A balky horse is an annoying creature
under any circumstances. but the story
Of an incident which happened during a
regimental drill raises the question
whether such horse may not simply
be OvercOnscientiouS.
The sun blazed down on a field of
hot. tired horses and excited men. all
waiting for big, raw-boned animal to
succumb to the urgings of the starter
and get into line.
Bring up that horse" shouted one
Of the officers at last. his patience hav-
ing given out. you'll get into trouble
II you DON'T"
The youthful rider Of the refractory
horse looked at his officer despairingly.
"I'm as tired of it as you are, sir"
he said. with dull resignation. but 1
can't help it. He's a cab horse, sir,
that's what he is. He won't start till
he hears the door shut. sir, and /

the tower of Pisa yet it still stands,
while the perfectly straight and sup
posedly safe and sound campanile at
Venice has tumbled to it's destruction
The leaning tower of Pisa is built of
white marble. like tlfe cathedral and
baptistry with which 1t is connected.
The tower was begun in liza and
completed in 1850. 1t was in the cath
edral adjoining that Calico saw a
chandelier swinging and was thus led
to invent the pendulum. This tower
overhangs its base IA feet.
Two other famous leaning towers Of
Italy are the Asinelli and Garesenda
ut Bologna. the former 300 feet in
height, to the base Of the lantern
which surmounts it, or 321 feet includ-
ing the lantern, and the latter $50 feet
in height. The Asinelli leans three
feet and six inches from the perpen-
dicular and the Garesenda eight feet
and six inches. These towers were
erected in the twelfth century.
There are several high towers and
campaniles in Spain, the most noted
being those at Seville, Grenada and
SaragOssa.

Curious Royal Regulations.

A curious old MS. contains these
quaint regulations for the household Of
Henry VIII. Of England: His High
nesse's baker shall not put alums in
the bread, or mix rye. oaten, or bean
flour with the same, and If detected he
shall be put in the stocks. His High
ness's attendants are not to steal any
locks or keys, tables, forms, cupboards,
or other furniture out of noblemen's or
gentlemen's houses where they go to
visit. The officers of his privy cham
Der shall be loving together, no grudg-
ing nor grumbling.
There shall be no romping with the
maids on the staircase. by which dishes
and other things are often broken.
Care shall be taken of the pewter
spoons, and that the wooden ones used
in the kitchen be not broken or stolen.
"The pages shall not interrupt the
kitchen maids.
Goal to be only allowed to the
Kings, Queens, and Lady Mary's
chambers.
THE brewers are not to put any brim-
stone In the ale."

bruise ON the beef. 1t Is said nfty
volts would be as effective.
The work Is done In One-half the
time and with half the exertiOn. The
effect on the steer of the magic touch
is amusing to see. A steer touched
on the left hip Immediately throws his
hinderquarters as far as he can to the
right. He cocks one ear straight ahead
and one straight back, switches his
tail and starts straight ahead. not car
ing for a second shock.
There Is look Of surprise in his
eyes. and he seems to know that all
the trouble lies in the end Of the
stick. He doesn't stop to get mad or
howl. He has urgent business at the
other end of the pen. That Is exactly
where the drivers and knockers want
him.
1t completely does away with all
back rushes and dragging in with
chains. for just as long as the puncher
is behind, the steer is just as far as
he can get in front. The savings OF
time and of bruised meat are also items
to be considered.
This novel instrument. says a Kan
sas City special to the New York Her
aid, is the invention of l.. +. Unroe.
the machinist in the beef beds, who
has made several other useful improve
ments in the machinery.
Superintendent ]. l.. Sterrett says:
1.-THE cattle puncher is great money
saver, as we'll as an instrument for
saving breaths, muscle and morals.
Many actual dollars are saved because
bruised beef is kept at the lowest min
imum ever reached"

The application of electricity is made
by two insulated wires connected
with the light wires over the catch

current passes through a stick and con-
meets with two brass points on the
end.
"Punchers" is the name given the

Gen. Reyes was born In the State Of
Jalisco in 1850. At the early age OF
16 he ran away from home to join the
patriot army. The French army had
invaded Mexico for the purpose of
'overthrowing the Republic. Reyes,
learning that the foreign soldiers were
marching toward the City of Mexico
and Strengthening all who opposed
them, started of to Join his country's
army. He was captured in the noun
tains by a band Of imperial sympa-
thizers and turned over to the CON-
handing officer Of the imperialists,
who. owing t. his youth, sent him back
ito his native city.
But he again ran away, made his
way to Jalisco, and Joined the army
that YVES stationed there. Before he
was 20 years old he was promoted to
the rank Of first lieutenant Shortly
afterward he took part in the battle of
Queretaro. and. while leading his men,
received saber wound In the fore
head. He also fought in the battle of
San Lorenzo aud was present when the
City Of Mexico was captured.
In all Of these engagements with the
French and Austrians he displayed
great military talent.
During his subsequent career Gen.
Reyes has frequently been called upon
to put down rev otis and these tasks he
discharged with success. He steadily
grew in the favor Of the President.
winning promotion after promotion.
Since becoming Secretary Of War he
has introduced number Of reforms
in the army, the most recent Of which
was to put stop to drinking and gam.
bling among the officers.

Farm and Factory.

In 1870, the census did not report a
pound of butter made In factories; in
1880, 3O,OOO.O0O pounds, out of prod
uct of SO7.O0O,0OO, was factory made;
in 1900 the factory product of butter
was APO, 100000 pounds out of grand
total of 1,492.G99,O00 pounds, the fac
tory product being 2S.2 per cent of the
whole. Cheese making shows still
more remarkable transformation. In
1860 there was no cheese making in fac
tories reported. In 1870 the factories
made more than one-half our cheese;
and in 1900 the farms made but 1872
900 pounds. or less than 6 per cent Of
the whole product of 30O,OOO,OOO
Illustrations might be multiplied in
definitely to show the encroachment Of
the factory upon the function of the
farm. Indeed, it is becoming a most
difficult matter for the census makers
to determine where to draw the line be-
many branches of industry. But the
farm is the twin sister Of the factory;
they flourish or are depressed In per.
feet sympathy; and American suprem-
acy In manufactures is due, in very
large degree, to the abundance of our
agricultural products. OF the raw ma
terials consumed in manufactures, ag-
riculture supplied $1,04O, $4,000 in
value, or S1.2 per cent of the total; the
mines supplied $319,975, 900, or 1874 per
cent in value; and the forest $11S,SO3,-
600, or 5 per cent of the total while
from ocean, lake and river came only
$9.635,0OO. or OO4 per cents. N. d.

Other Fertilizer Needed.


It Is generally admitted that there is
considerable manurial value in the
grain stubble left on the field to be
plowed under, this value consisting OF
a portion Of all the essential plant
foods in varying degrees. together with
more or less lime and humids. In
some cases this value is considerable
in one plant food as In the case Of the
nitrogen In the plowed-under clover.
1t is a mistake, however. to believe
