that ne was in the power OF the su-
pernatural, but other emotions that
he says no language can ever por-
tray were concomitant. His very
souk was swayed by their intensity
and seemed to be in a shadow Of
something inexpressibly terrorsome
and ghoulish.
On he flew, and he could make out
q shadowy: something dancing before
him, somethingyyague Of outline and
white in color. It danced now here,
now there, and he felt rather than
saw -that it was mocking him. On
in the leadership Of this phantom
he flew. He crossed the. Belt line
tracks with a bound, then felt he
was slowing up. But still he kept
on until the curve that Delaware
avenue takes before it reaches the
culpert where the Park road passes
ever it. Ahead he could see the
white simmer of an electric light
illuminating it's dazzling circle be-
meath it. He felt the icy hands thae
had never relaxed their pressure
from the moment he had first felt
them loosen bit of their grip.
He was regaining control. But
the machine seemed to be dragging
something behind it. He felt he
could now turn and see the ghostly
monster behind him. He craned his
head bit, and at that moment he
felt terrible blow over the head.
Stunned, he dropped from his wheel
and lay on the pavement. He de-
scribes the half glimpse of the thing
behind him as something too mex
pressibly monstrous to attempt to
portray.
He lay on the pavement for some
tive minutes, when Zeiler came up.
He was riding like mad. Zeiler
stopped when he saw his friend and
helped him to his feet. When
springwell told his story at first
Zeiler thought he was joking, but he
was finally convinced from the look
Of abject terror in Springwell's
face. They revisited the place next
day, Springwell unstrung and hardly
able to wheel. From the spot where
he first felt the power of the some
thing to where he was hit is exactly
three miles and few rods over.
Springwell wrote to the man from
whom he bought the wheel, and he
received an answer chat is certainly
queer. The dealer said that man
brought the wheel in in good shape
and asked a very small price for It,
and that he, the dealer, thinking it
had been stolen, would not buy it.
The man swore it had not been stol-
en- and offered to let it remain there
until he was satisfied. He had kept
it through the winter and never a
sigr Of any claimant; hence he had
sold it.
Springwell is at q loss to account
for the strange occurrence. He is
utterly unable to say what could
have been the cause, save on the hy-
pothesis that some man was muir
dered while Oh it ead that it has
thus become haunted. However
that may be, the fact remains that

DOGS IN FICTION.
Parts They Have Played In the Great
English Novels.

English Novels.
Although it may be conceded that
among the animals of fiction the
horse holds first place, the part
! played by dogs, especially i'll modern
literature, is very large and impor-
| tant. The pages of many famous
novels have presented us with mem
bers Of the canine race as carefully
drawn and as lovingly delineatcd as
any of the human characters intro
duced. Not infrequently the role of
hero or heroine is doubled with, or
wholly supported by, dog. And in
numberless,instances it is the inter
vention, conscious or unsconscious,
of dog upon which the whole plot
turns. AS might be expected, it is
among the works of such novelists
as are specially noted as dog lovers
that the finest and most freauent de-
scriptions of their four footed
friends are to be found, and nstu-
rally Sir Walter Scott, we'll known
for his extreme attachment to dogs,
heads the list.
Big dogs are Scott's special. favor
ties, and his noblest example is Sir
Kenneth's hound Rosval, who bears
an all important part in the plot of
"The Talisman." Rosval is de-
scribed as large staghound Of
splendid proportions and great sa-
gacity, who shares his masters
watch on st. Georges Mount beside
the banner of England, above the
camp of the crusaders. Tempted
by woman's guile, the {81ight for
sakes his post for short space, leav-
ing Rosval to guard the flag. A base
attack is made in his absence, and
Kenneth returns to find the flag
gone and its faithful defender
wounded apparently to death in it's
defense. Kenneth's remorse for the
violation of the English banner is
scarcely more keen than his grief
over the dog, who wags his tail and
icks his masters hand even in the
agonies of death It is most touch
ing scene, drawn by master hand,
and the readers satisfaction is not
less than the knights is represented
to b. ~hen the Arabian physician
Salao-1, disguised, appears oppor-
tunely, and by his timely ministra-
ton saves the hound, who lives to
identify his till then unknown as
sailant by dragging him bodily from

them.

SYSTEMATIC SELECTION.
The Only Way I'm Which the Useful,
ness ofPoultry Can BE Increased
with Certainty.

Everyone would like to have the ideal
hen that begins laying in November.
keeps it up all winter, and raises flock
of nice plump cockerels and good laying
pullets in the summer when eggs are
cheap. To secure such class of poul-
try, we would say get some pure-bred
foundation stock and then select for this
desired end. Selection is the grounde
work of improvement, not only in poul-
try, but also in all farm stock. Deem
Der laying strains do not come by
chance. To get this trait, the pullets
are Matched early, fed we'll, and when
there is marked tendency shown by
a few individuals to get down to earn
est work, the eggs of these few are used
the following year for Matching, and so
the work for improvement goes on. The
same course is followed in producing
table fowl. Everyone can practice this
improvement If the trouble is taken,
and when the work is undertaken intel
ligently and with determination the
trouble is considerably decreased. This
lean, long-legged hen, and the over-fat.
idle individual, should go to the kitchen
early in their existence; then when
spring comes and the time for hatch
ing begins, the eggs from the most de-
-sirable types need only be used. This
systematic selection is the only way in
which we can increase the usefulness
OF our poultry and the profits of poul-
-raising.-Commercial Poultry

tendency to be tght-ftting. A trim
appearance certainly has it's charms
for the country.
The new short skirts are nearly all
cut plain over the hips, and all the
fullness comes at the hem. Some are
made with separate killed flounce
put on invisibly under strappings Of
cloth or tweed. The old-fashioned idea
OF short skirt was skinny con-
Germ, and most unbecoming to the ma
jority of women, giving them the ap-
+ 20" r"''oe of heing insnfficiently clothed.
This is the fault, to my mind, of many
of the linen frocks.
Now, with the advent of tailor-built
coats and skirts we must consider the
question of suitable shirts and blouses
for there are many hot days when we
can dispense with the coat. With the
exception of white, blouse of con-
trasting color is mistake. For in
stance, with brown serge skirt, what
looks smarter than brown taffeta or
spotted foulard shirt? You can always
add white muslin turnover collar
and cuffs.
The country shirt is very important,
and should be worn over well-ftting
slip. Above all, it should have we'll
cut high collar
But the seasons rush past us at a
speed that cannot be lessened, and

ming of autumn early winter will be

Remember that filth and lice cause

as rapidly as possible.
Lawn clippings stored where thew

How Stock Help. Land

An instance was related to me the
other day of the value of stock raising
and it's incidental clover rotation in
building up the productive capacity of
the land. Before the perfection of the
Chicago cold storage beef industry large
herds of cattle were driven to the Wash
ington market from northern Virginia
farms These farms were then models
of fertility. The rotation was wheat
corn and clover, and little if any com
mercial fertilizer was used. Tho beef
produced was of the finest. When Chi
cago beef began to be shipped every
where these farmers did not find it so
profitable to raise steers and drive them
to Washington. They dropped off their
live stock growing. and in few years
had to begin the use of commercial fer
tilizer. These farm lands have since
steadily decreased in productive ca
pacity, until now most of them are
worn out and will not produce IL BUSH
els of wheat to the acre.-Washingto

Alfalfa a. a Honey Plant.


Alfalfa is the greatest honey plant
known to modern agriculture, says F.
d. Coburn. 1t is superior to any white
clover, sweet clover or buckwheat, and
under favorable conditions gives a
honey flow from June till October. The
farmers in the alfalfa-growing dis
-tricts are only beginning to appreciate
their opportunities for honey produce

in Kansas in 1908. The average honey
product per stand was given as little
over Is pounds for the whole state.
Eighteen eastern counties, where al
faifa is scarcely known. produces only
7.6 pounds of honey per stand. These 10
counties contained about 80 per cent.

II happens that Washington has
been center for experiment in the
development of the flying machine.
Prof. Bell and Prof. Langley are
known to have advanced far in the
direction Of the aeroplane; and now
comes another inventor-Emile Ber-
liner, who obtained the first patents on
the telephone transmitter-with the
announcement of successful test of
flying machine model on a plan not
hitherto considered by anybody else.
1iiIrorr hae-e constructed r71e,r2o1 or
flying machine which even at this
early stage lifts in flying weight of
over one pound for every square foot
of horizontal area at a speed estimated
at 20 miles an hour The inventor con-
fidently expects that with increased
speed the best performance of birds.

zontal area, Will oe considerably sur
passed. II this becomes true people
before long will be flying around like
birds, because two wings each five by
81 feet would then carry person of
average weight together with a small
propeller driven either by foot or by
machine.
Mr.. Berliner has been at work on
the flying machine proposition at inter-
walls for 80 years and has only just
reached anything approaching success
He analyses birds flight as having
two principal actions-the production
of a current Of compressed air by the
beating Of wings and the lifting for.
ward on this air current of the body
Of this bird. This lifting forward, kite
fashion, is greatly helped by the tai
or By back wings taking the place al
the tail. In his opinion therefore fly
ing machines will be possible with {
structure which when moved forward
horizontally will produce a current Of
compressed air, with tail surface fol-

with these sufficiently light motto,
