SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE.
Not Enough Attention Paid TO 1t BY
Young Men In the Colleges
of To-day.

Secretary Wilson believes that not
enough attention is paid to scientific
agriculture by the colleges Of to-day,
and he has taken up the agitation of
this matter as a hobby, reports the
Brooklyn Eagle. Wherever he makes
speech he tells his hearers that his
department utilities the services of
every young man it can find who has
had thorough training in some
branch of scientific agriculture. There
is a great demand for this kind OF serv-
ice, and the department has the utmost
difficulty in holding on to its experts
because Of the growing outside calls
that are being made on them. There
are about 1000 people in the depart
ment of agriculture who are engaged
on scientific agricultural work, yet
hardly one Of them came into the gov
eminent service fully equipped. Sec
rotary Wilson calls attention to this
fact to emphasize his statement that
the colleges should give more thought
and attention to the development OF
dRTlCulluTdl SClth'cs' mere are some
so agricultural colleges IN the country
calling for competent teachers, and
some 60 or 70 agricultural experiment

expert, and Secretary Wilson thinks
that our young men would do well to
choose such profession rather than
the overcrowded fields of law and med.

BIRTH OF LONDON BRIDGE.
Story Of It's Opening by William Nv
and Queen Adelaide II
Years Ago.

On August 1, 1881, William Nv. and
Queen Adelaide formally opened with
much ceremony the famous London
bridge. so that the structure now is
little over II years old. Their males
ties went in grand procession from
Buckingham palace to Somerset house,
and thence by barge to the bridge.
The awnings of the royal barge were
removed, that full view of the royal
pair could be had along the whole
line. At London bridge grand pa
vilion had been set up close to the site
of Old Nshmongers' hall. 1t was con.
structed of standards captured in
hundred fights. canopied In crimson
and decorated with massive shields
When the king stepped ashore he said
to two members of the London bridge
committee: "Mr. Jones and Mr. Routh,
I am very glad to see you on London
bridge. It is certainly most beauti.
full edifice and the spectacle is the
grandeSt and the most delightful In
every respect that ever had the pleas

the London News, was before anyone

ONE OF THE ANCIENT ARTS
Has Captured the CooperaGe
Business Of the World.

Cooperage Is one of the ancient arts
born, doubtless, of the necessity Of
having proper vessels for preserving
wines. The London coopers were in
corporated into guild in 1901. As
usual, America has captured the coop
erage business Of the world. The Ma
tional Barrel and Cooperage company
declares that 2OO,0O0,00O barrels are
used annually. could mention one
company alone that turns out 10000
a day, or 12,5oo,eOo year. Its prod
uct includes casks, kegs, all sorts OF
barrels, butter tubs, pals, churns, etc.
Our boundless forests gave us the ad.
vantage In cooperage. We supply
nearly all the rest of the world with
barrels, casks and slaves, our annual
product being valued at moro than
SAC, 100000. For casks 30 hold liquids
oak is used. while for sugar and -four
and other dry substances nothing has
been found to equal elm. The manu-
facturers have bought up millions OF
acres Of forests to guard against a
scarcity Of barrel material. They are
vandals. like the rest of the timber
users. Sufficient unto the day Is the
forest thereof. If they can make

NATIONALITY IN FEET.
Pecullaritie~ OF the Pedal EItre l.
ties of Some Races of the
Old World.

National characteristics are many
and varied and scientists are always
discovering new things in which we
differ from our neighbors on the con-
tinent. The latest of these Is feet, says
London Answers.
The French foot is narrow and long.
The Spanish foot is small and elegant
ly curved-thanks to it's Moorish blood
corresponding to the Castilian's
pride of being high in the instep."
The Arabs foot Is proyerbial for its
high arch. The Koran says that a
stream Of water can run under the true
Arabs foot without touching It. The
foot OF the Scotch is high and thick
that Of the Irish. fiat and square; the
English, short and feshy.
When Athens was in her zenith, the
Grecian foot was the most perfectly
formed and exactly proportional of
that Of any Of the human race. Swedes,
Norwegians, and Germans have the
largest feet. Americans the smallest.
Russian toes are "webbedp to the first
joint. Tartarian toes are all tho Same
length.

Ing Gallery's Targets.

A wiry-looking bronzed youth in a
khaki uniform walked into Philadel-
phia shooting gallery the other day
and, picking up a rifle, began to make
things hum, says the Philadelphia
Press. There were four stationary
bulls-eye targets, representing men
and animals, at the rear Of the gallery,
and on these the marksman raped
out series of clangs that resembled
realistic rendition of the anvil chorus.
Then he took a fresh rifle and beat n
tattoo on a pair Of swinging targets.
A row Of several scores Of clay pipes
next received his attention, and the
proprietor of the place spent n bad
five minutes figuring out tho time and
money it would require to replace the
dhudeens that were snapped off. Sew
eral glass targets in motion were pie
for the youth behind the gun, The
only thing breakable remaining was a
glass ball supported by dancing wa
ter Jet. This the marksman failed to
smash, though he spent half an hour
and considerable ready money In an
endeavor before leaving. Darn those
fellows from the Philippines!" ex-
claimed the shooting gallery man.
"That's the second one to clean me
out to-day. IF it hadn't been for that
glass ball on the water I'd have come
out to the bad both times"

HOW HE SAVED HIS LUNG.
Young BOstonian who Was Cured OF
Consumption on 4 Farm
in Ireland.

A young Bostonian, reared in the
lap of luxury, had lost lung and ply
sicians informed the father that il
he was not sent on an ocean cruise or
to the far west he would die of con-
sumption. Accordingly the father put
him aboard ship. with 1,400 In cash,
and started him off to Samaria. being
advised that the dry country between
the River Jordan and the Mediter.
ranean was good for consumptives.
When he reached Queenstown the boy
made the acquaintance of a hard-head-
ed. sensible chap, who told him that
Samaria was sure dealt that the only
way to save his lungs was to go to
Wicklow county. near Tinahely. and
set to work on a farm. The advice
was taken and for nine months the
scion Of Back Bay aristocracy did
chores for a man who owned castle.
At the end OF that period he was as
lusty as a bull moose, with a pair of
lungs like blacksmith's bellows. The
former gave him & 20 and an honorable
discharge. He returned to Boston with
his $l.400 and his health. He now
lives in New York, modern Her

STORIES OF SNAKEBITES.
Statistics Regarding Fatalities n Ia
dia Are Unreliable and tho
Reason.

An English traveller just returned
from India says that the stories about
the great number of deaths from
knake-bites in India are to great
extent unreliable, as stats tics, when
carefully analysed, show. He ac-
counts, moreover for the extreme ex-
aggerations in figures on very plausi-
BILE grounds. In India, he says, the
law requires that when there is a sud
den death a detailed report of it must
be made to the civic surgeons, and as
there are many such deaths far from
the civic offices where the report should
be made, the under officers perform
their duty with the least possible
trouble. To save the annoyance OF
Transporting dead bodies, or vital or
gans, and the loss of time in getting
evidence on the facts of the cases
which may be plain murders, by poison
or otherwise--a report Of death by
"snakebite" is made. This sort Of re-
port is very convenient and makes in
teresting statistics.

PLAYED CARDS FOR THE LOOT.
IL G IN nlscence of One OF the Vene-
sueIan Revolutions Related
by Mr.. LabOuchere.

Few men in the world have had as
varied an experience as Henry Labou-
chere, the English publicist and writer,
says the Chicago Chronicle. He has
been in every part Of the world and
has passed through many scenes of ex-
element and adventure. He was in
Venezuela several years ago when one
of the periodic revolutions was in prog
ress, and thus relates an incident that
fell under his notice:
"A battle took place on the plaza
one afternoon" said Mr.. Labouchere,
land | watched it from grass ham,
mock on the terrace in front of my
hotel. The government forces were
put to fight and | was joined by my
revolutionary friends keen from the
fight.
Later one of the fallen ministers
visited us and said he could show us
where 100000 silver dollars were hid
den. He was as good as his word, and,
patriotism being sunk by my friends in
obedience to the comforting moral OF
the place, BE kind to ourselves it was
proposed to divide the swag.
81 said: NO, don't do that; it might
offend the people. Play for it, which
was agreed to. The government man
was allowed to come in and we played
and the government man won it all
to the last dollar. So, after all, no
harm was done"

EMANCIPATION OF THE HORSE.
Introduction OF Electricity Has
Lightened the Animals Burden
But Not f. rad icated Him.
HOPE FOR THE AFFLICTED.

Although the prediction freely made
few years ago that the development
of electric traction would quickly drive
horses from the field of labor have not
been fulfilled, yet the Electrical Re-
view cites statistics to prove that the
disappearance of the horse is actually
taking place, although so slowly as
not to attract much attention. In
Paris the number Of horses fell Off
about six per cent. between 1901 and
1902. In London the decrease in the
same time was ten per cent. In Berlin,
Vienna and st. Petersburg a similar
falling off is shown by the census of
horses. In New York it is estimated
that the number of horses has de-
creased 80 per cent. in the last 20 years.
But although horses may be relieved
of the burden of hard labor, it is not
likely that man will ever Danish his
ancient friend and servant wholly
from the circle Of his pleasures.

MOST VERSATILE OF PEERS.
An English NObleman who II |.
Preacher and n SchoOlmastcr
In Turns,

One of the most peculiar of English
dignitaries is Lord Normandy, who is
a clergyman living in a castle, who not
only attends strictly to the duties Of
his ecclesiastical Office, but runs a
school as we'll. Many sons of noblemen
have been trained at Lord Normanby's
beautiful Mulgrave castle, overlooking
the North sea, near Whitby. and the
marquis, who is at once proprietor and
headmaster of the school, has won for
it a lasting reputation. His boys are
perhaps the only boys in England to
call the holder Of five titles Of peerage
"headmaster." 1t is said that Lord
Normandy gently wields an iron rod
and that his discipline is of the strict
est kind, but no boy has ever left him,
it is said. with anything but the hap
piest of recollections.
A story which ought to be true has
been told of the marquis, who is, more
over. a canon of Windsor and friend
OF the king. The wife of a millionaire,
the story goes, wrote to Lord Norman
by proposing to send her son to his
school and asking if his lordship was
careful about the social position OF
his pupils. She must have been aston,
ished by Lord Normanby's answer,
which ran: Madam: For so long
as your son conducts himself well and
pays due attention to his work ! shall
make no inquiries as to the antece-
dents OF his parents"

Dad Hand Made Him Money.

When Lord Curzon, now viceroy Of
India, was at Oxford, he wrote an
abominable hand. One day he penned
two letters, one of them to a relative
and one to chum with whom he al
ways discussed the faults Of their
respective relations, and accidentally
put these letters into the wrong en-
velopes. He was about to write q
profound apology to his relative
when he received the following note
from him: "Can't read word Of
your four pages, but guess you want
some money, you young rascal" In
closed was Bank Of England note
for a good amount.
