The chef on one of the PENNSYLVANIA
dining cars was particularly talkative
the other day. The train was waiting
for its Philadelphia passengers, and
every table in the diner was occupied
The second call of Baltimore passen-
gers were standing around the aisles
waiting for vacant places. There was
no little amount of dissension among
those whose appetites had not yet been
appeased. The diners seemed to be eat
ing in most leisurely fashion, with no
apparent concern for those who were
less fortunate.
TITS always the way" said the dark
complexioned cook, glancing through
the car. when the train is running
along those people will eat about twice
as fast as they do ordinarily. But
when she comes to stop they start to

Just then the train pulled out, and
the observer saw a sight which firmly
convinced him that his informant had

pended upon the next mouthful.

FEEDING EXPERIMENTS.

Substitutes For Wheat Bran.
Feeding experiments to ascertain

cowpeas and soy beans could be advan-

led the Alabama experiment station to
conclusions Of which the following Is a
summary:
The following values per ton were
used In calculating the cost Of food
Wheat bran, $40; vetch hay, $40; cow
pea hay, $40; cotton seed, $12; cotton
seed meal, 500; cottonseed bulls, So.
Vetch hay has proved fully equal in
feeding value to similar weight of
wheat bran. BY this substitution the
cost of the food required to make a
pound Of butter was reduced % per
cent.
With the vetch ration the cost of food
FOR pound of butter averaged 10 cents
in contrast with 1874 cents when wheat
bran was fed
The waste In feeding vetch hay was
with most cows about per cent of the |
amount offered and with cOwpea hay |
about III per cent The latter residue.

the ration.
That portion Of the cowpea hay actu-
ally eaten proved fully equal in feed
Ing value to a similar weight Of wheat
bran. Charging cows with all the cow
pea hay offered them, we found that
cowpea hay had sc per cent Of the feed
Ing value of wheat bran, ton of this
hay being equal to 1,72O pounds of
wheat bran
When wheat bran was worth $50 per
ton cowpea hay was worth $17.2O and
vetch hay 500.
The monthly profits per COW were
$4.65 OH the vetch ration and $4.35 on
the cowpea ration.
One Of the Jersey cows used i'm this
test produced butter at Il cost for food
Of only 8 1-3 cents per pound when fed

WOMAN'S INFLUENCE.

How q CicrSymeH was ;,;s;rcd by n
Hostess ThoaS hilessness.
A recent sermon by iiev. Herbert s.
johnson at the Warren Avenue Bap-
list church in Boston was entitled 1.-The
True Story of Clergyman and Glass
of Wine"
Its moral was that total abstinence
Is the only safe policy.
Mr.. Johnson's principal reason for
declaring that wine is an enemy of hui
man kind was that in taking a single
glass man may awaken a hereditary
and dormant taste for drink which can
never afterward be assuaged and that
may eventually grow to proportions
where it will be beyond his control.
He then told the story of the clergy
man and his glass Of wine, the subject
Of the story having been a Baptist min
lister in the west, barkeeper and
drunkard, who had become a pulpit
orator scarcely less powerful than
Henry Ward Beecher.
The minister was one evening q guest
at reception given by young and
very rich woman, teacher in the pas
tors Sunday school, Several of the
guests urged the pastor to take q glass
of wine, but he steadily refused.
Finally the young hostess, who was
very beautiful. begged him to join her
in n glass, and though he several times
declined in Difference to his former
weakness, her charms at last prevailed,
and he fell
That night he disappeared after the
reception and was not found till four
days later. when, while the church |
bells were calling the godly TO their
devotions. the board of dea-
cons found their pastor on an impro-
vised bed in the rear of q barroom,
afflicted by the worst kind of an attack
If de)irium tremens.
He lost his pastorate and became q
vanderer on the face Of the earth. The
asst heard of him he was occupied In
'oing on frequent sprees and practic-
ny law during his sober intervals.
Mr. Johnson drew two lessons from
he Incident: "Never take q drop of
quor yourself, and never ask another
