Flows TO the Fullest.
Piccadilly seems cold and blatant by
contrast as one charges down it. Yet
even here, be the sunshine ever SO
bright. the visitor is crowned in the
pearly haze that tones. attenuates, uni
fies. most IL not all of London, that
haze that has tantalized and defeated
how many artists. Even over Piccadil-
ly, even over this the most mundane Of
all London streets, II throws its saving
glamour Indeed the whole splendid
avenue might serve for a studio, not
for its values alone, but for the COM
plexity of the types that throng 1t. 1t
is the quintessence Of London. the dis
tillation of all London humanity, to be
studied nowhere so narrowly as from
a bus top. Perfect Du Mauriers in the
original approach, pass by and are left
behind or stand in groups looking from
the club windows. Phil Mays in the
life swarm beneath one. and characters
from Thackeray and Dickens jostle
unsuspectingly on the sidewalk. The
clubs alone, which never look so thor
oughly clubbable as when hastily
glanced at from passing bus, win
store ones memory with a hundred
recognizable types. All England. all
the empire, indeed, sooner or later finds
its way to Piccadilly. One, cannot pass
down it without a sight of some gilt
tering, turbaned, alien figure. majes-
tically isolated, majestically unheeded.
Regent street may claim grander
sweep, and by virtue of its shops a
more devoted femininity, but it is along
Piccadilly that the tide of social Lon
don flows brim full.-Sydney Brooks

A story Is told of a Louisiana mer-
chant who came to New York deter
mined to secure bargain. He wanted
cheap cloaks, and after trying in vain
to suit himself at the wholesale houses
he bought a job lot at auction. He ex-
amined the goods hurriedly and had
them shipped home. In due time he
was confronted by an excited head
salesman who said the garments were
out of style.
''They didn't look that way" said the
merchant.
"But they are" replied the clerk.
Tnu merchant persisted that the
cloaks would sell, but they didn't In
desperation he returned them to New
York to be disposed of to best advan-
tage. On his next trip to New York he
again visited an auction house and
bought q lot of cloaks. When he re-
turned home and examined his pur-
chase he saw that he had bought the
same lot as before.-World's Work.

I'm Frozen Russia.

In Russia, where the cold in winter is
very intense, the markets are very Curl
Gus things. The meat is frozen, the car
casses of dead animals, as sheep and
pigs, stand upright outside the stalls;
everything. even game and poultry. re-
quires to be thawed before it can be
cooked, and the market peoples dress
is as picturesque as it is warm and
comfortable.
Then the rivers are frozen over all
the winter long, and so thick is the ice
that every one can skate anywhere and
any time. Stalls are put up on the ice
and busy markets held there.
In the Asiatic part of Russia the peo-
pie live chiefly by hunting and fishing,
and the fur of the Russian animals Is
very beautiful-the ermine, fox, sable,
sea otter and others.
At the end Of the winter. when the
snow melts, the huntsman pursues the
elk, wearing long shoes, in which he
can glide over the snow very quickly,
while the poor elk sinks into the snow
deeper and deeper every step and is at
last overtaken and killed.

CATTLE FEEDING.
The Crowd In Not Running Thi
Waw-Enrnrah HE Slnnn

The Crowd In Not Running That
way-Favorable signs.
The cattle feeding problem is now
before great many farmers who have
produced crop Of corn, and the Ma
tional Stockman looks ut 1t thus: Farm
ers had a hard experience last year
with high priced feeders, dear corn
and an oversupply of fat cattle. They
hesitate to embark again in business
that is fraught with such risks. 1t Is
bad enough to lose one corn crop, but
a serious matter to risk losing two.
Sheep feeding paid better last year,
and the price Of grain is attractive. In
the face of all this will 1t pay to feed
cattle? That Is question to which
no direct answer can be given, but GER
tafnly the outlook js much better than
1t was last year.
Feeders are cheaper by at least $1.50
per hundredweight, an Important diff
ference. Last year they were entirely
too high; this year they can be had at
a reasonable price. And this is car
dinal point in the matter: If feeders
cannot be bought right 1t Is seldom
wise to feed. The price Of corn is high,
but there is no reason to expect 1t to
be higher than 1t was last year be-
cause a good many people expect to
sell 1t. Still others may be forced to
sell it instead of feeding 1t. Money Is
very tight now, and banks are not
lending any more than they can help,
a fact that may tend to restrict feed
ing operations and at the same time to
enlarge selling of corn.
But perhaps the most hopeful sign
of all to the prospective cattle feeder
is the fact that the crowd is not run
ming his way. A year ago everybody
wanted to feed cattle. Many were
burned and dread the fire now. Today
sheep seem to be very popular, but
there is no great rush into cattle. All
of these things are more favorable for
the beef producer than the circum-
stances of last year, but still it is Inn
possible TO say that cattle feeding Is
to be a paying business. Signs favor
1t, however.

The nird MononoIi.t.

As Is generally known, the cuckoo
lays its eggs in the nests of other birds
leaving them to be hatched and the
young cuckoos reared by their foster
parents. The young cuckoo throws the
other birds out of the nest and gets all
the care itself. After numbering its
foster brothers and sisters in the most
deliberate and callous way it is thence
forth tended with the greatest devo-
tion. Long after it has left the nest
the great bird, apparently big enough
to get its own living and many times
larger than its foster parents, is fol-
lowed about and fed by them with the
same care as when in the nest.
