Sea serpents Breathe Air.

Like all other serpents, the sea SER
penis, though permanently inhabiting
the sea, are air breathers. The lateral
fiattening Of their tails greatly helps
them to swim in any direction, and it
specially enables them to rise rapidly
to the surface of the water to breathe.
That they may do this the more easily
and securely, their nostrils are placed
at the very end Of the muzzle and are
furnished with valves, which secure
them from being entered by the water
in which they live.
Unlike other snakes, they cast their
skins In small pieces. Their eyes are
not adapted to see well out Of water,
and thus they cannot when In the air
take a good aim to bite. They feed on
small fishes which they paralyze by
means Of their poison, and thus they
have nothing to fear from the spines
Of the fishes they eat.

Minister of Agriculture to suggest the
use Of corr flour, mixed with wheat

nittee was nominated by the Mayor
of Sofia with a view to alternating the
distress among the poorer classes. Two
kinds Of bread were submitted-one
made with three-quarters wheat flour
and one-quarter corn flour, and the
other with half wheat flour and half
corn -four. Those who tasted the first
named bread declared it to be very

extended use of corn flour to furnish

"PRETrY SPECKlEDY."
The Thrush Refused to Sing for the
Lady Who Had Bought Him.

ING AArusn hefuscd TO Sing for
Lady Who Had Bought Him.
Two ladies who were walking along
an English country road were attract
ed toward q small, p~oor-looking cot
tage by the exquisite singing of a
thrush. The cottage contained but one
room. 1t was occupied by an aged
couple, 30 poor that their most valua-
BILE possession was the thrush which
hung outside the door in a wicker cage,
and sent forth a perfect stream Of
melody. In MARY Boyle, Her Book"
the story of this bird Is touchingly
told:
We listened for some moment, and
then my mother entered the cottage,
made acquaintance with the old cou-
pie, and asked If they would be will
ing to sell the thrush to her. At first
rather a blank look came over the old
mans countenance, but he was poor
and ailing, and was persuaded by the
arguments Of the 'missus," who was
doubtless thinking that the price Of
their favorite would enable her to get
some little dainty for her good man.
So the bargain began: a sum was
named, the double of which was paid
by my mother, who sent a servant the
next morning to claim her purchase.
Then resulted a disappointment. The
cage was placed in a large and cheer
full window In our drawing-room, but
not a sound, not a note, came from the
melancholy bird, who dropped and
hung it's head~as If melting. We fed,
we coaxed, we whistled; but it re-
NAMED silent, motionless and moping.
My mother felt as much indignation
as was consistent with her gentle dis
position. 1t was not in her nature to
be suspicious, but it looked as IL an
other bird had been palmed Off upon
her In place Of the magnificent song
ster. She gave the thrush several
days trial, but at length her patience
was exhausted, and she sent for the
late owner Of the bird.
The door opened and in he came. NV
nlo'her TO meet him; but
neither Of them was allowed to speak.
for no sooner did the old man make
his appearance in the room than the
bird leaped down from its perch,
spread its wings, and broke out into
so triumphant a song Of JOY that 1t
seemed as II the whole room vibrated
with that burst Of melodv
what, Pretty Speckledyw said the
man, approaching the cage. "You
know me then. do your And the
thrush kept tapping Its wings and
moving from side to side, one might
almost say, dancing with Joy.
There was no doubt about it; 1t was
the same bird that had charmed our
ears In the lane at Molesey; but, like
the Hebrew captives, 1t could not sing
Its songs in a strange land.
Take 1t back" my mother said. ~
would not part such friends for all the
world" And off together went that
loving pair, Pretty Speckledy" in full
song.

The Packers Power.

The only rational cause for the
great falling off in prices paid by the
packers for hogs and beef cattle Is the
determination of the packers not to
give more. They are not in the pack
ing business for either health or recre-
alton, but for the money they can &C.
cumulate- OF course the less they pay
for the animals and the more they get
for the animal products the more mon
ey they make. This accounts for the
high price to consumers Of beef, pork,
ETC., as well as the low price Of hogs
and cattle.-Farm and Ranch.

Grating Grapes.

Common cleft grating is best for
young grape rootings. 1t is simple,
easy and nearly always successful if
properly performed. Remove the soil
from the roofing and cut it low enough
to allow the soil to be mounded around
the point. Split with a chisel, then in
sert a scion Of equal diameter so that
both sides will knit. Cut the scion
bevels equal. Be careful to have both
sides coincide outside so that bark of
both stock and scion is practically Of
same thickness.

a duck or drake. In choosing breed
ers, 1t is also important that the
ducks are fully as large as the brakes.
The duck in the sketch is in reality
somewhat larger than the drake, and
won first prize when she was but FIVE
months old. Large birds like these
Pekins are very heavy feeders, but the
ducklings are oon on the market, and
the old birds with long, rangey bodies,
such as these here shown, will hunt
their entire living when allowed to
at will.-Montreal Star.

Stock Ducks.

In selecting stock ducks from which
to breed your market ducklings, 1t Is
less essential to look for ~clearness Of
bill and perfection Of tint than gen.
eral suitable conformation. The drake
in the accompanying illustration is a
perfect type Of breeder for market
birds. The body is large, but not
cumbersome, the carriage Of the small
head, alert, out not apprehensive, the
feathers white and plentiful, but tight
and compact, as though cut from a
piece of ivory, the deep full keel and
short, strong legs are all points that

potash, varying in value according to
the hardness of the wood burned.
Hickory ashes are more valuable than

Sandy soils need potash more than 9th.

What IL Success?

Many men who have died poor and
who have ever been poor have been
great successes. Our Savior was a
poor man. the poorest Of the poor and
yet no life was ever such a success
as His. The mistake Of this age is in
judging success by wealth. A man
may be worth 100000. 900 and yet be
an absolute failure. That is, he may
be rich and yet be a hog. He is sue
cessful who goes through the world
doing the most good, Frightening the
lives of his fellow creatures not only,
but making life more comfortable for
the lower animals, the horses, the
cows, and chickens and wild birds.

Is felled much more easily and quickly
