ny of Newark, N. j., and they can get
more liberal contract and at. less cost
than in any other Life Insurance COM
pany in the world. Its record, covering
a period of SO years, proves this beyond
dispute. A sick man cannot get in
surance in the Mutual Benefit at any
cost. The time to apply for a policy Is
NOW, provided you are we'll. Next
week you may not be we'll. and you
may never be insurable again. Others
have had similar experiences and why
not you? There are other good COM
panies besides the Mutual Benefit, and
I am glad Of it because If it was the
only company there would be no oppor-
tunity for me to show how much bet
ter it is than others by comparison.
You will consult your own interest by
investigating the Mutual Benefit be-
fore signing an application.

Bayou we saw a smoke rising to our
right, apparently in the pass, and di-
rectly some of our guards stepped out
of the thick bushes and the train came

the draw, and they Of course retreated
across the bridge to avoid being taken
prisoners, or compelled to stay in the
mud and water an indefinite time.

TEACHING CHINESE CHILDREN.
A School in Mott Street Similar to
Those in Canton.

So many of the residents of China
town have raised little almond-eyed
families that not long since they found
it advisable to start school similar
to those in Canton. After some
trouble a schoolmaster was obtained,
and the institution was opened in
Mott street. Here the young Chinese
idea is taught how to shoot in the
most approved style. The system is
very different from our own, and in
some respects compares quite favor
ably with the latter. When the
school was opened each child was en-
tered under the name of it's father and
it's own milk name, as the first appella-
ton of a youngster is termed. There
upon the schoolmaster bestowed upon
each the school name which will re-
main until it is twenty-one. This Is
in itself a high compliment, because
the milk name is grotesque or effemln'
ate. Each child on being named
kneels and kow-tows, and thanks the
schoolmaster for his courtesy. Kneel'
ing and kow-towing are repeated
every day on entering the classroom.
Books are very seldom employed the
first two wears in the Chinese school,
a blackboard, slate, or a piece OF
writing paper being the first educa'
tional instruments. The teaching IS
effected by putting facts into poetical
form. one generally if not universally
employed being the rhymed couplet.
The schoolmaster recites it slowly
once, then the children repeat 1t. Al
fer the third time, any child who can
rot reneat it is rattanned. In the be-
ginning. two or three couplets day
are a formal lesson. The number IS
increased to five, ten, and twenty =
dav. according to the quickness OF
the scholars. The children reclte IN
chorus. and at times the noise is deaf
oning In our own civilization there
arc traces of this ancient system or
teaching, which will give good idea
of the Chinese method. Such bits OF

Poultry Notes.

Keeps eggs in cool place until mar
keted.
No flock of poultry will ever pay I'M
less healthy and vigorous.
The eggs Of the hens grow smaller
as moulting season approaches.
The second year hen is more profit
able than at any other time.
A dry, gravelly spot is absolutely
necessary to healthful conditions.
If the fowls are too fat an exclusive
diet of oats will soon reduce them.
The purslane in the garden can be
fed to the geese and ducks to advan-
tage.
A hen is in her best condition only
when she Is seen industriously at
work.
A lazy, idle hen will often lay soft
shelled eggs or be in mischief Of some
kind.
To keep hens for eggs alone is to
lose the profit that may be made in
chickens.
Bait the rat trap with cheese rinds.
This will catch them where nothing
else will.
The best bred fowls will fail to be
profitable If neglected, and Will rapid
~ run down.
Turkeys are like chickens-if in a
good condition they are marketable at
any time Of the year.
While anybody can raise chickens.
perhaps it is not everybody that can
raise them proitably.
You can make a handy egg case by
taking the bottom of tobacco box

as high as you want it. Every two

Carving a Lantern.

How many people have tried carry
ing a lantern on a dark night while
out driving and have found 1t unsatis-
factory? The manner Of carrying them
usually blinds the horse and also the
driver. If put on the dashboard the
shadow Of the horse Is in the way and
the horse is continually lodging his
own shadow. If held in the hand it
blinds the driver and the horse expert
ences the same difficulty. The best
plan is to get an extraordinarily heavy
strap and buckle the lantern to the
throat latch Of the horse and there
should occasionally become extinguish-
ed. A good lantern will Withstand this

Keep a Few Geese.

Geese are scavengers, like sheep.
They win thrive in summer on any
rough pasturage accessible to water.
A bog meadow covered with wild
grass just suits them. They will foul
more food than they will eat, If allow
ed to roam with stock in clean mead
ows. They should not be permitted
to have the freedom Of the farm, If
kept in any considerable numbers. We
do not think large flock requires spe-
cial facilities, while small flock can
be trusted to take care of themselves
for nine months in the year Geese
are as much grazing animals as horses
or cattle. In summer they need very
little grain If they have grass or vege-
tables. In winter they will enjoy life
better and make better breeders in
the spring If their diet is composed
principally of cut hay, corn-stalks, and
vegetables. For shelter rough shed
with d good roof is all they require.
