FARMS BY ELECTRICITY.
A Texas Man Has Tried the AID
vantages of Power.

Farming by electrieity has been
%ested in the rice fields in Texas, aud
c. w. Hail. an experimeltereo Hohs-
ton, says it is successful. During the
last year he cultivated 300 acres of rice
lands, pun ping he water by electrlci
ty SO economically that he cleared sou
an acre. Regarding his work Mr..
Hahl said: "The advantages Of eiec-
GPical farming are great. Power can
be easily t. ausmitted to any portion OF
a large plantation | expect to gave
rice mill on my plantation, and THIS
will be operated by the same electrical

do it on such large scale as to reduce
very materially the cost of that pro-

1.-THE advantage to small farmer OF
having a portion of land electrically
equipped is so important that it VIII be
weighed carefully by the immigrant

"More haste, less speed" aud,
"hasten slowly" are proverbs born OF
experience that something can't be
hurried without loss aud waste. That
is especially true of eating. The rail
way lunch habit, 'fve minutes for
refreshments, is habit most disas-
trOus to the health. You may hurry
your eating. You can't hurry your
digestion, and the neglect to allow
proper time for this important function
is the beginning of sorrows to many>a
busy man. When the tongue is foul,
the heads aches, when there are sour
are bitter risings, undue fullness after
eating, hot Pushes, irritability,
nervousness, irresolution, cold extrem-

The Guinea Pix That Went Wrong.

At the recent meeting Of a Partisan
temperance society three guinea pigs
were inoculated with various forms OF
alcohol and one with nice pure water
and then put away till the end of the
meeting, when the lecturer brought
them out again triumphantly to show
the shocking results of alcohol. Most
unfortunately, however, says the Liy-
erpool Post. the only i'll guinea pig was
the teetotal one, and the moral was
simply shocking.

NEW THEORY OF EATING.
Englishman Favors Thorough Mas
 ticatiOM and Much Less Food.

En&l1shanan FavOrs Thorough Mas
 ticatioM and Much Less Food.
 Horace Fletcher an English mer. chant resident in Italy. has made se- rious attack on the eating habit, says the Chicago Chronicle. By experiments on himself and others he claims to prove that even the so called daily ra- ton prescribed by science is 50 per cent too large. He holds that the energy g needed to digest the surplus half is a total loss of vital force. He holds also and this is the gist of his theories, that worse fault than eating too much is not masticating thoroughly and that less than half in amount of food mas hcated four to five times as long as is customary sustains life, strength and flesh far better than is now done and does not furnish the causes of the in- digestion and many of the diseases common among all peoples. It is said that our war department is now mak- ing thorough investigation of the sub- Ject, which may be said to be guar antee that it Is no joke,
 It is curious theory and not the least of its possibilities are economic. If nearly everybody eats 50 per cent too much and all the people of the United States could be educated to eat according to MT. Fletcher's theory the saving, suptracted from the daily trade of dealers in all kinds of provi- sions, would create disturbance in the market and readjustment of occupa- dons all along the lima

 The occurrence pleased the men, for it showed them they had made no mis- take. But 1t meant little else. The chief danger really was lest they be- come too settled in the protective atti- tude. As they took it, they were about, good naturedly, to help along worthy greenhorn. This they considered ex- ceedingly generous on their part, and in their own minds they were inclined to look on Thorpe much as grown man would look on child.
 Fine weather followed them up the long blue reach of Lake Huron, into the noble breadth of the Detour pas sage, past the opening through the Thousand islands of the Georgian bay, into the St. Mary's river.

NEW YEAR MESSAGE
Details of the United States Naval
 Observatory's Scheme.

Details of the United States Naval
 Observatory's Scheme.
 The United States, naval observatory at Washington recently announced the details of its scheme to send telegraph ic time signals throughout the world to mark the beginning of the new year. The signals were sent out last year for each of the four great standard time belts of the United States, but this year it is proposed not only to secure wide distribution of these new year signals throughout North and South America by the cooperation of the telegraph and cable companies, but also to send one or more of the four series of signals around the world and back to the room of the naval observatory where they started.
 The signals will begin at II :55 p. m. and end at midnight, eastern time The same series will be sent out an hour later, ending at midnight, central stand ard time; again an hour later, ending at 2 a. m., for midnight of mountain standard time, and again an hour after that, ending at a. m., for midnight of Pacific coast standard time. In each of these four five-minute intervals the clock will send an electric impulse prac- tically every second On the world circuit the signals will go by land lines to Cape Canso, Nova Scotia; thence by cable to the Azores, Lisbon, Gibraltar, Malta, Alexandria and Port Said: by land to Suez; by cable to Alden and Bombay; by land to Madras; by cable to Penang, Singapore, Saigon, Hong kong, Manila, Guan, Midway, Honolu- lu and San Francisco, and by land back to Washington.
 It is proposed to receive both the outgoing and incoming signals on the same chronograph at the naval ob- servatory and thus preserve a perma nent graphic record of both on single sheet of paper. It is suggested that, be- sides demonstrating the possibilities of practical astronomy and telegraphy working together through international cooperation, benefits will result from the general attention that it will direct to the advantages of the use of ac- curate standard time throughout the world. Tue messages will also carry New Years greeting to the world.

CHAPTER XVI.


 -1HREE weeks later the steam barge Pole Star sailed down EK the reach of Saginaw bay.
 Thorpe had received letters from Carpenter advising him of a credit to him at Marquette bank and Enclosing a draft sufficient for current expenses. Tim Shearer had helped make out the list of necessaries. In lime everything was loaded, the gang plank hauled in, and the little band of Rrgonauts set their faces toward the point where the Big Dipper swings.
 The weather was beautiful. Each morning the sun rose ont of the frosty blue lake water and set in q sea of khe full, drew broad paths across the painless waste. From the southeast blew daily the lake trades, to die at sunset and then to return in the soft still nights from the west
 The ten horses in the hold munched their hay and oats as peaceably as though at home in their own stables. Jackson Hines had helped select them from the stock of firms changing local 52y or going out of business. His judg- Gnent in such matters was infallible, but he had resolutely refused to take the position of barn boss which Thorpe offered him.
 ''No," said he, "she's too far north. I'm gettin' old, and the rheumatics uin't what you might call abandonin' of me. Up there it's colder than hades on stokers holiday"
 So Shearer had picked out barn boss of his own. This man was im- portant, for the horses are the main stay of logging operations. He had se- lected also blacksmith, cook, four Eeamsters, half a dozen cant hook men and as many handy with ax or saw.
 The blacksmith is also good wood butcher (carpenter)," explained Shear CT. Four teams is all we ought to keep going at clip. If we need few axmen we can pick lem up at Mar auette. think this gang I'll stick. picked 'em."

iNDIANA'S RAGING TADS.

Bottle of Port to He Opened by a
 Social Clubs Last Member.
 A young man of Covington, Ind, in 1S47 read in Cincinnati newspaper of social club which had been formed years before that date. The last sur viving member of the club had broken the bottle of whisky that had been on the banquet table at every anniversary of the first meeting.
 The incident impressed the reader, and he formed a similar club in Gov ington. The membership was twenty, and the club was called the Raging Tads. The members were Burnett D.. Van Trooner, Albert Mallory, Shel Han negan, James McMannoney, Lewis R. Hetfeld, Charles Hansicker, Samuel Fields, Sanford Crane, William Brad ley. William Donaldson, William Prib- ble, Edward Mallory, Sidney Harper, Ed Pullen, Alexander Hetf1eld,. Elias Wilcox, Frank Clark, Harvey Johnson. Rufus Pribble and Bob Brown.
 Instead of whisky a bottle of port wine was put on the table, and this was to be broken by the last member. On Thanksgiving was the fifty-sixth anniversary dinner of the Raging Tads. Two of the four survivors met at Gov ington, with the bottle between them. Colonel McMannoney, who will be eighty years old in March, and Lewis Hetfeld, who is now eighty years old, were the partakers of the feast. Bob Brown, eighty-three years old, lives in Nebraska, and Harvey Johnson, If the same age, in Illinois. They were un- able to attend.
 The Covington men are hale and hearty, but were much affected by the smallness of their numbers. They shed tears as they spoke of their former companions. Mir. Hetfield said:
 ''I don't want to be the last. It will be sad, very sad, occasion, the opening of that old bottle."
 T wouldn't open that bottle for any, thing in the world" said Colonel Mo Mannoney.
 The bottle is cared for as if it were of priceless value. From one Thanks giving to the next it is stored in the vault of the Covington Banking com pany, where it will not have to remain many years before it's seal is broken by the last of the Raging Tads.

and forty, rugged in appearance, Ncocky" in manner, with the swagger and the oath of so many buccaneers, hard as nails. Altogether Thorpe thought them about as rough a set of customers as he had ever seen. Throughout the day they played cards on deck and spat tobacco juice abroad and swore necessarily. Toward him. self and Shearer their manner was an odd mixture of independent equality and slight deference. 1t was as much as to say, You're the boss, but I'm as good man as you any day."
 Constituting the elite of the profes- sion. as they did, Thorpe might have wondered at their consenting to work for an obscure little camp belonging to 8 greenhorn. Loyalty to and pride in the firm for which he works are strong characteristics of the lumber jack. For this reason he feels that he owes it to his reputation to ally him. self only with firms of creditable size and efficiency. The small camps are for the youngsters. Occasionally you will see two or three of the veterans in such a camp, but it Is generally a case of lacking something better.
 The truth Is Shearer had managed to inspire in the minds of his cronies an idea that they were about to par tfcipate in fight. He retold Thorpe's story artistically. The men agreed that the young fellow had sand enough for a lake front" After that there needed but a little skillful maneuver- ing to inspire them with the idea that it would be a great thing to take hand, to make camp" in spite of the big concern up river.
 Shearer knew that this attitude was tentative. Everything depended on how well Thorpe lived up to his repu- tation at the outset. But Tim himself believed in Thorpe blindly. So he had no fears.
 A little incident at the beginning of the voyage did much to reassure him.
 Thorpe had given orders that no whisky was to be brought aboard. Soon after leaving dock he saw one of the teamsters drinking from pint flask Without word he stepped briskly forward. snatched the bottle

structing one or his endless serfes or birch bark canoes. Later he would paddle the whole string to Marquette. where he would sell them to hard ware dealer for S2.50 apiece.
 Injun Charley looked up and grunted as Thorpe approached.
 'How are you, Charles" greeted Thorpe reticently.
 ''You gettum pine? Good" replied Charley in the same tone.
