QUEER COUPON ON STAMPS.
May Be Sure That Letters Are Not
Delivered on Sunday.

Sabbath observance in Belgium is
optional, especially in regard to the
delivery of letters. Postage stamps
have tiny coupon at the bottom on
which is the legend, engraved both in
French and Dutch Not TO be deliv-
cred on Sunday" II the sender of the
letter Is a person of strong religious
views who believes In observing the
Sabbath in every form, he permits the
coupon to remain attached to the
stamp, and the letter which might be
delivered Sunday does not go out of
the receiving Office until the following
day. II, on the other hand, the send
er OF the letter has no such scruples,
he tears off the coupon. and the letter
is delivered on Sunday, the same as
any other day. A fine Is imposed on
the carrier for violating the instruc-
tions of the coupon. AS Dutch Is spo-
ken great deal in Belgium, the warn
ing appears on the coupon in that
language as well as In French. The
coupon is an innovation even in Bel
gium, one of the most progressive
countries in the postal union, and has
been in use less than two years, ac-
cording to the foreign mail clerks in
the city postoffice. II was the direct
result Of Sabbath agitation In Belgium
The postal authorities were about to
yield to the outcry when the Socialist
party made violent protest in the
chamber of deputies. So persistent
were the Socialists in the outcry
against what they considered was the
violation of the principles of individ-
ual liberty that the postal authorities
decided to try the coupon plan as a
compromise. hoping that would ap-
pease both sides. It is satisfactory
only in a measure, however The re-
cipient, who is a strict Sabbathtarian,
may get letter from less squeam-
ish correspondent who has torn off the
coupon. Again, the Socialist, who has
no such scruples. cannot get n letter
that is in the postoffice because It
bears the forbidding coupon.

DUST BATHS,

In summer, as well as in winter,
hens greatly appreciate a dust bath.
When they have their full liberty they
generally scratch and scratch in a dry
hedge-corner till they make dust baths
for themselves, but those in confine-
ment must have it supplied. Any dry
dust does; road dust, dry sand, sifted
ashes. There should be a heap of it
put in the run, or anywhere except
under the poultry-house; the raised.
floor house is no longer popular, as the
space beneath is always wet and cold.
The dust bath should be In the sun,
but needs, of course, shelter from rain.
1t is well to mix little sulphur in the
dust. 1t amounts to cruelty to deny
fowls dust bath, even when they are
free from lice, as they obviously enjoy
it so much. 1t indirectly improves the
egg yield, for it affords them occupa.
tons and keeps them in health. Chick.
ems from week old enjoy dust bath
IL they can have it; nothing keeps lice
away more, and yet many poultry
keepers give their chickens no oppor-
tunity to keep themselves free of these
pests.

Italian woro cabriola, which was
changed to cabrlolet in French. Both
words have common derivative-
cabriole-signifying goats leap. The
exact reason for giving 1t this strange
appellation is unknown, unless because
Of the lightness and springiness Of the
vehicle in its original form. In some
Instances names of special forms Of
carriages are derived from the titles
Of persons who introduced them. The
brougham was first used by the fam
GUS Lord Brougham, and the popular
hanson also derives Its name from its
lntroducer, Mr.. Hanson. Landau, a
city in Germany, was the locality in
which was first made the style Of

seen separately" In training the
ponies, kindness is practiced under all
circumstances. When the little pony
colt, which a man can take up in his
arms and carry about, is strong enough
to run and play with its mother, and q
little halter is put on 1t, and it is taught
to lead and start and stop at the word.
When 1t grows stronger, but is not yet

it is driven about with reins. A gentle
pressure of the bit on the tender mouth
is sufficient to guide it.

pounding hammers and ringing bells.
Its actions under all these conditions
are carefully noted and recorded, and
its special qualifications for particular
purposes fully ascertained.
1t has been learned at this farm that
pony's natural characteristics are not
easily changed, although vicious pro-
pensltles may in a measure be subdued,
and timid, shrinking spirit encour-
aged by kindness to assume more con-
fidence and aggressiveness.
1t is never attempted to teach the
ponies any special tricks, the sole pur-
pose being to make them useful, tract
able and safe under all circumstances.

"a strange thing is the effect OF
electrical energy on birds and wild
beasts" says a telegraph lineman.
"Woodpeckers are continually tapping
telegraph poles. In the country you
will find everywhere poles honey
combed by the sturdy bills Of wood
peckers. The birds mistake the hum
ming sound inside the poles for the
humming of insects, and 1t is to get at
these supposed insects that they make
their perforations. Bears, on the other
hand, think the humming comes from
bees, and they overturn the stones at
the poles base in their endeavor to get
at the honey. Wolves are afraid of the
sound. A wolf won't go near tele-
graph pole under any circumstances"

and seriously reduce the profits. A
large measure of this may be avoided
by not having the sows too fat. Keep
the sow quiet. Avoid using too much
straw as litter. Cut straw makes a
good bed, as the SOW cannot then
gather it into ''nest," which is OIL
ways dangerous to young pigs, in that
it is almost impossible for them to es-
cape should the sow lie down on them.
1t is a good plan to fix railing around
the narrowing pen. 1t should be about
six to eight inches above the floor, and
about foot from the wall. When the
SOW lies down against the wall little
pigs are apt to get crushed between the
SOW and the wall. but such railing
prevents this, and allows the young
porker to escape.

A Shetland pony farm, where ponies

"Yes" to this untii you have stopped

some do while milking. Be fair with

Ziegler, in The Cultivator. 1t is the
worst possible practice to allow the

wool conceals the shrinking carcass,

careless flockmaster. Better confine
them in the yard than TO allow them
