over the side of the dish but as soon as he found he would have to lift his arms out of the water to do it he would slide right back. But as he could get just enough water to keep his arms covered, he would crawl away rapidly. quite regardless of the fact that all the rest of his body was sticking out high and dry. The man also got many eggs of the star and put them into tiny
 trays full of salt water and matched them out. Gloriously beautiful little things they were, purple and crimson and scarlet and yellow, each one as tiny as a pinhead, yet each one a per feet five-pointed star. And as soon as each was matched it would hustle right to the bottom and fasten on a bit of green weed. where it shcne like a fash ing gem Now this was truly pleasant play. But ii was profitable. too. for the starfish is a terrible enemy of the oys- ter and the clam. The starfish used to eat so many oysters and clans that the fishermen of Connecticut alone lost more than $lOO,OOO. The play of the man in| Woods Hole has taught the government new ways of fighting the stars. and it is now sending the infor- nation to all the fishermen and shell fish planters.-Washing Post.

far more like ducklings than they did what the uninitiated would imagine young cranes should look. The imagine young cranes should look The legs and neck were short. this being a characteristic of all varieties and species of the crane and heron family. The long neck and legs develop later, the young birds resembling the primi- tive ancestors of the wading, birds, which were short-legged and short necked The cranes are what natural ists call highly specialized birds" for the reason that living for ages in marshes and swamps. they have under gone a process of evolution or adapta- tion: acquiring. through necessity long peaks. necks, and legs. just as the giraffe was evolved from the extinct Samotherium, which had a short neck and medium limbs. Another peculiar ity of the young cranes was that their .naked and unfeathered wings, were tip ped with small claws. This is a still older vestige of the days when birds were branching off and being evolved from reptiles. Many people fail to real ize the close relationship existing be- tween birds and reptiles. These sin gular flying reptiles. the pterodactyls. of the Cretaceous Period, were equip ped with this same claw. as did also th- first birds whose wings, in addition to being feathered. terminated in a hand with five digits. with a claw on each. Even at this late day, the young of va rious species of birds show marked re- versionary characters. For example the young of the Australian brush tur- kek are ble to take care of themselves the moment they leave the shell. tho mother and chicks sparating and pay ing no attention to each other what ever. just as young turtles and alliga- tors run into the water as soon as they break the shell. Again, the hoatzin. peculiar bird of South America it at birth endowed with several short digits at the wings tips. each armed with d claw, by means of, which they are able to crawl about over trees and branches reminding one of the movements of q snake or lizard. As in the heron, these claws disappear cs the birds grow older.
 The two youngsters at the Zoo were also. attractive by reason of their pc cunar markings, almost as eXtraCrdin- ary as their short netks and legs. The matching of wild birds in captivity is a somewhat singular problem and one that is full of strange contradictions At recent meeting of the principal oTnithological society of England a lease was reported of a golden eagle which had beer in captivity for over thirty years. During the twenty-fif year of her captivity she laid her first egg, and then another and another for the two succeeding years. When the 5nty-eighth yea arrived she laid two eggs. and the year following th~ae, which she began to inCub-,e. The owner, seeing this. had the three eggs removed. putting five hen eggs in their place. One of these was subsequently broken. but eventually the eagle hatch ed four chickens. two males and two females. Later one of the males was killed laying a rooster and two hens.

THE PERFECT LIVER MEDICINE.

Mrs. M. A. Jolley. Noble. O.

Malaria cannot find a Judgment in the system while the liver is in perfect order, for one of it's tune tions is to prevent the absorption of fever producing poisons.

These grew at a famous rate, and what was most peculiar, learned to eat meat from their foster mother, pecking it out of her bill whenever the keeper gave her her ration of raw beef. At night the chickens would fly up on the perch with their foster mother, end finally. when they had reached maturity, the rooster became SO assertive that he would even attack the eagle, maste ing and overawing her so completely that she was actually afraid of him.-Wash- ington Post.

The furnishing of porches de-

Americans attach so much impor-
lance to time spent on the porch as
they do in this season of 1908.

perfect treasure for lazy folks will

continuance which closely initiates
the good old steamer chairs so much
enjoyed by ocean travellers. There
is the same back, sloping at precise
ly the right angle; the same COM
Portable little hump to support the
knees. 1t is really ideal. The only
thing is that unless every member
of the family owned such a chair
divisions might arise over the ques-
ton of possession. What is one
chair when five or six people want to
sit in it at the. same time?
There are also rattan lounges and
settees of wonderful construction.
They are equipped with so. many
convenient shelves and other devices
to contain little comforts, such as
smoking paraphernalia, books, EN-
broidery work, etc., that one may
employ oneself for hours without
ever rising to reach for anything.

BURLINGTON'S BIG FESTIVAL,

When Monday evening. Aug. 81,
arrives, everything will be ready for
the grand opening of the fall festival
in Burlington. Already an army of
50 carpenters, painters and dccora-
tors are at work on the grounds get
ting everything in readiness for the
opening of the doors on the initial
evening 1t reminds one of the con-
st:uction of the Pan-American ex-
position in miniature, but it is no
small undertaking and no small
proposition nevertheless. Over three
acres Of ground will spread the white
canvas of the varied attractions and
the industrial section leading thereto
will occupy the whole street. 1t
will be like the tetes in the old coun-
tries Of holding events in the open
and will be like iairylard without
cover.

To Helm the Cook.

There is no end to the new inven.
tons which are designed to make
the life of the cook easier. Among
these novelties are chocolate graf
er, which uses up every bit of the
chocolate while protecting the
hand, and jelly strainer, which
sets on tripod and is adjustable to
a kettle of any size. Coffee ma
chimes by which coffee is made at
the table have leaped into populari-
ty. There is a new meat chopper,
which has q deep, curved blade
that gives eleven inches of cut and
is warranted always to cut across
the meat. AS the top is removable
the blade can easily be cleaned. The
ring mold, which is simply an ice
cream mold made in the form of
ring with an open center, is especial
ly popular where a woman has to
rely on her own hands for dainty
dishes. A cake pan with a bottom
that comes off, allowing the cake to
be taken out easily, and cork ex-
tractor which fastens to the wall
and holds the bottle while removing
the cork are other new kitchen uten-
sils.

Machine Worked to Confusion oil
Agent.

AS the summer season, with its an.
nual crop OF travelling agents, wanes,
the new stories, more or less anus
ing, Herewith connected appear.
Recently rather unique incident
occurred in our own village, says the
Bellows Falls Times. During the
past week, among others, one agent
has sung the praises of Il little con-
trivance for removing pies, cakes,
meat, ETC., from a hot oven. In his
travels this phlanthropist entered
the kitchen of wcll-known towns
woman and sought to enlighten her
in regard to the marvellous powers of
his machine. After his eloquence
had been spent in vain the lady re-
fused to buy and, as she supposed,
closed the deal. Still the agent lin
gered and the lady went about her
work. Finally she opened the oven
door, displaying Il large roast of
meat, and went into the pantry, leav-
ing the oven door open. The ped
lar saw his opportunity and with
enthusiasm worthy of nobler cause
grasped it (the opportunity and
likewise the roast Of meat. Unfortu-
natelv, however, the machine did
not fulfil its promise and the meat
tell crashing to the floor. The agent
had hoped to surprise the lady of
the house and turn defeat into victory.
Surprise her he did, but otherwise
than he intended. The lady heard
the crash and appeared. With an
ger in her heart she surveyed the
ruins, but the agent had departed,
and his coat-tails were disappearing
through the gate.

THE POTATO BLIGHT.
It's on the Rampage All Through
the State.

The late potato blight is on the
rampage all through the state of
Vermont as result of the wet
weather. Immediate spraying in
side Of a week may. save part of
some blighted crops, using Bor-
deaux mixtu,e-six pounds copper
sulphate or blue vitriol, four pounds
of stone lime, to barrel of water.
To him who has not the apparatus
or the chemicals and who must get
them, however, the chance for the
saving of the crop is gone. If the
potatoes are of fair size and appear
ripe, and one cannot spray, it is
probably best to dig at once. There
is less likelihood to rot, though the
yield will probably be small.

RAISING GOOD HORSES IN
VERMONT.

A correspondent writes us in reply
to our article concerning the dearth
OF good horses in this region. The
question of breeding good horses for
the market is, he says, a purely COM
mercial one. If farmers saw profit
in this line of industry they would
pursue it. Now it costs about ST. 50
to breed and keep colt till he or
she is four years old; and it must be
very good animal that can be sold
for much above this. Besides, there
is the chance of sickness and of in
Jury from the barbarous barbed wire
fences that still pervade parts of the
country.
Such is the line of argument to
justify the indifference of the farmers
to breeding first-class horses, and the
reasoning would have been unanswer-
able a tewyears ago. ,Justnow it fails.
The price of really good horses has
gone up. In fact, there is hardly
limit to what is willingly paid for a
perfectly satisfactory animal.
Besides, if man once breeds a
$500 or a $1,000 horse, he has at
once established reputation and
practically business. 1t will be
easier to sell all his other horses.
The breeder should aim high, there
fore, and not be content till he is
producing again in Vermont as grand
strain as was ever represented by
the Morgan.

Pungent odors From Vegetables.

If a knife used to cut onions re-
tains the odor of the vegetable take
it into the back yard and run it
into the earth several times. Most
housekeepers keep separate stew
pan for cooking onions, since more
or less of their pungency is apt to
linger about a dish in which they
have been boiled unless, as is too
seldom the case with the dish wash
er, especial care is taken in their
cleansing. A supply of sal soda
near at hand will stimulate the
maids ambition to keep her utensils
clean, since it readily softens ex-
traneous matter, saving time and eff
fort, besides serving as deodorizer.
Custards or any other dish with
milk as a foundation readily abb
serbs the flavor left by the cooking
of pungent vegetables. A double
boiler and baking dish should be
set aside for such purposes and en-
ployed in no other way. 1t is at
tention to these small details that is
to large degree accountable for
the reputation of good cooking.
