FARM MEMORIES
Come Back in Food.

How often a good appetite and a cracking good meal will bring back memories Of old days on the farm! A mother says: My eldest son who has always had weak stomach was finally compelled to give up his position.
 T thought I could nurse him back to health and began feeding him Grape Nuts for breakfast and after short time he formed such liking for it that concluded to give it to him for supper too. %
 ..He wanted me to prepare it even pftener but I did not do so for was afraid he would take a dislike to the food by getting too much of it and I felt certain it would help him if he would only continue it's use.
 .'He began to pick up rapidly and now he is we'll and strong again and has gone back to business and he holds with honor position that is very trying to the brain. Only yesterday he said to me Grape Nuts has certainly done wonders for me; would not pass day without 1t and 1t has such a fine taste too. It puts me in mind of how we used to enjoy food on the farm.
 T first saw Grape-Nuts at luncheon one day at a friends house and as soon as I tasted it I formed a liking for it. My friend had formerly been sick, but now she lives alomst entirely upon Grapefruit and she is also building up 3 delicate little daughter upon the food and the story she told me of what Erape-Nuts had done for both of them was certainly remarkable" Name given by Postum CO, Battle Creek, Mich.

This is a decided novelty, but it is anti- cipated that it will work satisfaotorily The string is steel wire, wound upon big reel and weiging 15 pounds to the mile, so that at an elevation of 15, 800 feet the kite will have to support weight of 45 pounds.
 There will also be an exhibition flight of almost every kind of kite used by man. inclusive of the Japanese and Chinese.
 In the event of there being insufficient wind to lift the kites from stationary position, it is proposed to employ motor cars to give them flying start, in pre- cisely the same manner in which sA boy runs, dragging his kite behind him in order to obtain sufficient atmospheric resistance to cause the kite to rise.- Scientific American.

BIRDS THAT CARE FOR sHEEP

BIRDS THAT CARE FOR SHEEP.
 The native of VenezuIa and adjoining countries on the earth side of the river Amazon often avail themselves of the services of the native crane to care for
 tneir poultry, and also use it in the
 place of collie. or shepherd dog, to guard and herd their domestic animals.
 This remarkable bird, which the h.. 1 dians called yakannik, and the orntho- gist Psophfa crepitans, is found in a wild state in the great forests that lie between the nothern coasts of South America and the Amazon River, par ticularly in Venezuela. and British Guiana, The birds never leave the | forest unless shot or captured. They travel about in fiocks of from one hunderd to two hundred, in, search of the berries. fruits and insects upon
 which they subsist. Their usual gait is
 a slow and stately march, but they en- liven themselves from time to time by leaping up in the air, executing eccen- tric and fancy waltzes, and striking the
 most absurd and preposterous atti- tudes. If pursued, they endeavor to save themselves by running, for their flight is so weak, according to Scham- burg, that when they attempt to fly
 over a body of water of any. consider-
 able width they are often compelled
 to drop upon it and save themselves by swimming.
 When alarmed, they utter the peculiar cry which has obtained for them the name of trumpeters. The sound is something like that produced by a per- son endeavoring to shout the syllables tow, tow, tow, tow, tow, tow" with his
 mouth shut. or the dolefnl noise made by children on New Years Day with their trumpets. The yakamiks usually deposit their eggs in hollow in the ground, often at the foot of a tree.
 A nest generally contains ten eggs of a pale green color. The young birds follow their mothers as soon as they are matched, but do not lose their pretty
 downy covering until several weeks old The yakamiks are very readilty tanned and prove valuable servants to the In
 dians, who domestieate them, and as they are courageous, and will protect animals intrustedt to their care at every risk to themselves, even dogs are obliged to yield to their authority.
 They may be trusted with the care of a flock of sheep or domestic fowls, and every morning will drive the ducks and lpoultry to their feeding places, and carefully collecting any stragglers, bring them safely home at night. IA yakamik soon learns to know and obey the voice of his master, follows him when permitted wherever he goes, and appears delighted at receiving his
 earesses. It pines at his absence, and welcomes his return, and is extremely jealous Of any rival. Should any ami
 nal attack it's master, the yakanik in utmost fury attacks it with wings and
 beak, driving it away It presents itself regularly during
 meals. from which it chases all domes-
 tic animals, and even the negroes who wait on the the table, if it is not well acquainted with them, and only asks for
 a share of the eatables after it has
 driven away all who might aspire to a favorable notice from the family.

It will be Held Tn England to See How
 High They Can Go.
 An interesting competition is to be carried out by the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain, to ascertain the maxi mum height to which 1t is possible to fly kites. The trials will take place on the Sussex Downs.
 The contest is of an international character, so to obtain data relative to the utility of kites for meteorological operations, and the best type of kites with which to attain high attitudes.
 There is no stipulation regarding, the size of the kites, but only single kites must be employed, and a height of 5000 feet is fixed as the minimum. The duration of flight must be one hour. Each. kite must carry a weight of two pounds to represent scientific instru- nents. 5- 5ss. s*-s.sa 4 ;,i. as ts.,ss .{sst

 In a period tinlidity-as one who feels herself an alien and on sufference-she hangs again upon the ineomparable scene.

Close, close to her now! Down sink the crowd upon the chairs; the heads fall like corn before the wind. Lucy is bending, too.

 tor Oak Races in September.
 .Tempis fugit" is we'll illustrated by a glance at the Grand Circuit races and the dates for future events on the mile rings The racing season has so far ad- Wanced that the big ring followers are at Buffalo, N. r., this week and will be at the Empire City park next week, which is near Mount Vernon, and con sequently easily reached from New Ha- ven and vicinity. .....z..-.
 The four hundred thousand dollars which is awarded this season on the big circuit tracks is sufficiently large to bring out the fastest, best bred and trained horses in all this quarter of the globe.
 One of the most expensive trotting parks in existence is the Empire City park, which represents an outlay of money estimated at half million dol Jars. The gigantic iron grand-stand. with it's elevated promenade, cost as much as many entire trotting parks. The view from the top of this one hun. dred thousand dollar structure compris- es land and water scenery both grand and extensive. The costly clubhouse. expensive barns and box stalls, where the valuable horses are stabbed, the cooling out sheds, with the various or ,Ilamental attractions with which the park is adorned, are all properly ,ad- mired by visitors The big money races at this track are annually visited by many gentlemen and ladies from this section, for the reason that the beauti- fui park is reached by any train that stops at Mount Vernon. Trolley cars, stages and public carriages carry pas sengers from the Mount Vernon depot to the race track gate.
 At Empire City park, which is in the town of Yonkers, the races are to com mence on next Monday afternoon, Au- gust 10, and continue until the close of Friday afternoon. The first race on the programme is the 2:09 class for trotters, for which five thousand dollars is to be awarded. Four races are on the card for every day.

The address of the secretary is Alfred Reeves, 5 West sixty-sixth street, New York city.
 N. W. Hubinger's trotter, Metellas, f2:11, that has been in the training sta ble of E. F. Geers since last winter, is entered in the 2:09 trot on Monday. The entry list for the 2:1o pacing race flor five thousand dollars on the pro- Lgramrne for Tuesday, August II, con itains the names of two horses owned by L. A.

 Again the weather defeated all plans of the Connecticut State league mag mates and no games were played on the circuit yesterday. The double-header scheduled for the Savin Rock grounds attracted large crowd, but it was nec- essary to distribute rain checks, and the champions were prevented from adding materially to their percentage.
 The first game yesterday was sched- uled to begin at ? o'clock at Savin Rock. When that hour arrived the Hartford team had but six men in uniforms on the field. Whether the Hartford man. lagement had any other players with the six who were on the field is considered very doubtful Manager Canavan in- sisted upon the game being started, as there was no rain falling at the time. Umpire Houle, however, thought that the grounds were not in condition and called the first game off. The crowd waited until after 3 o'clock for the weather to clear, in hopes that the sec- ond contest might be played as sched- uled, but the rainfall increased and Hartford went home undefeated.
 To-day the Blues will play in Meri- den, and tomorrow the Meriden team wih play on the Savin Rock grounds.
 Next week Monday the Hartford team will play double header at Savin Rock, the first game to begin at ? o'clock. On Tuesday of next week the Springfield team will play two games with the Blues at the Rock.

The New London manager was here this afternoon and was asked by the Holyoke directors about his offerito back his team for s1,- 900 against any in the Connecticut league in a series of games at the close of the season. He said Norwich is the team he wants to pit his men against and that he Is ready to back them for $1. .oOO against Manager Morrissey's ag- gregation. The Holyoke directors de- cided they do not want to interfere with MT. Humphreys s plans but authorized the statement that they will stand ready to cover any amount from $1,0OO up that. Manager Morrissey will post with any of the Springfield papers if he cares to get on match with Holyoke.

MISS TODD'S REMOVAL.
Post mast er.GeneraI Payne's Explanation
I'm Letter to a Friend.

WASHINGTON, Sept, i2.-Post MASTER
General Payne made public this afternoon
a statement in explanation of his position
with reference to the removal OF Miss Todd
as post mist ress al Greenwood, Del. The ex-
PLANTATION was made in a letter to a personal
friend. 1t says in part:
When the two Republican Senators We're
elected in Delaware they were put in their
relations to the Administration upon the same
footing as any Republican, [ nited States
Senators. and were made advisers OF the
Department concerning the appointment of
post masters in the state of Delaware.
For their convenience the State was di-
vided, Senator Ball taking the northern half
Of the State and Senator Alice taking the
southern half. This practice has prevailed
in many Of the other States, and IL not single
to Delaware. Greenwood is located in Sena-
tor Allee's district.
One of the rules governing the action Of
the postmasters Is that "A postmaster shall
not allow his office to be made the head.

active in stirring up factonal quarrels, po-
ltical or otherwise Miss Todd, who vas re-
moved from the Office at Greenwood, allowed
her Office to be-, In effect. the headquarters Of
and her family and herself TO be the most
active factors in fnctional political quarrel
inside the Republican party. This she viz
tually admitted In her interview with me.
which, according TO the rule referred to above.

and Members Of Congress must treat them
uniformly. Mr.. Alice is Senator OF the
