A Scrlptural method of carving fowls
when In secular company was claimed
by witty clergyman who. having
been asked to carve one day, said, 'ln-
asmuch as you demand II, | will carve
the fowl according TO Biblical prlnci-
pies" Yes" exclaimed the hostess,
"act according to the Scriptures. The
theologian therefore began the carving.
The bnron was rendered the head of
the fowl, the baroness the neck, the
two daughters wing apiece and the
two sons first joint, the carver re
tanning the remainder.
According to what Interpretation do
you make such divlslonT inquired
the host of his guest, rs he regarded
the clergyman's heaping plate and the
scant portions doled out TO the family.
"From an Interpretation of my own,
replied the clerical wit. "As the mas
ter of your house the head belongs e
you by right; the baroness, being mos
near to you, should receive the neck
which Is nearest the head; In the wings
the young girls will recognize symbo
of their mobile thoughts. that fly from
one desire TO another: as to the young
barons, the drumsticks they have re-
ccived will remind them that they are
responsible for supporting your house,
as the legs OF the capOn support the

myself analysed the other day twelve
loaves Of fresh bread and found that
they contained on the average alcohol
In the proportion OF .314 per cent.
When, therefore, you have eaten 100
pounds of bread. you have consumed

as much alcohol as you would get In a
pint Of whisky.
"You, madam, eat, fancy, about $50
pounds of bread year That is $500
pounds in ten years. In those $500
pounds there are 1T5 ounces Of alcohol,
which is the same as seventeen quarts
of whisky. Think of II! Every ten
years you consume seventeen quarts OF
whisky with your bread"
II don't believe 1t" said the woman.

Perhaps the most astonishing Stats
tics In Mr.. Coughlans book, Seven
Colonies of Australasia" are those that
describe what the average Australian
eats and drinks. Apparently he has
the best appetite, IL not the best diges-
ton, Of any human being on the planet.
He eats every year POI pounds OF meat,
which works out an average of two
sheep and one fifth OF bullock for ey-
cry man, woman and baby In Australia
sIa. He eats more than twice as much
meat MS the average Englishman, three
times as much as the average French
man and four times as much rs the av-
erage German or Swiss. He eats, In

225 pounds of potatoes and almost 100
pounds of sugar. IL he is Tasma-
Man, he eats quarter Of ton of POI

BRUTAL COLT TRAINING.
How Farmer Perkins Used Strategy
and a Bull WhiD

There Is a right way and q wrong
way of breaking colt to halter The
latter method Is described by Sewell
Ford in Horses Nine" Blue Blazes,
the colt in the story, was owned by n
Michigan farmer. He had been fright
ened by the first attempt to bride him
and had broken away. He was prompt
ly declared to be vicious colt.
"Well tame him. said Farmer Per-
kins. Under his coat he hid n stout
halter and heavy bull whip. Then,
holding grain measure temptingly be-
fore him, he climbed the pasture fence.
In the measure were oats, which he
ratified seductively. Also he called
mildly and persuasively. Blue Blazes
was suspicious. Four times he allowed
the farmer to come almost within
reaching distance, only to turn and bolt
with n snort of alarm Just at the cru
cial moment At last he concluded that
he must have just one taste of those
| oats.
"Come, eoltiei Nice cotie!" cooed
| the man in strained but conciliating
voice.
Blue Blazes planted himself for
sudden whirl stretched his neck as far
as possible and worked his upper lip
inquirlngly. The smell of the oats
lured him on, Hardly had he touched
his nose to the grain before the meas
ure was dropped, and he found himself
roughly grabbed by the forelock. In a
moment he saw the hated straps and
ropes. Before he could break away
the halter was around his neck and
buckled firmly.
Farmer Perkins changed his tone.
"Now, you ugly little brute, I've got
you! IJerk.l Blast your wicked hidel
lSlash.l You Will, will you? tYank.l
ri larn your tSlash.l
Man and colt were almost exhausted
when the "lesson" was finished. 1t
left Blue Blazes rldged with welts,
trembling. fright siekened. Never
again would he trust himself within
reach of those men; no, not II they Of

grown TO love the carp. He fed 1t from
