LIVE STOCK Joke.
How 1t Was Sprung Upon Prominent
Clergyman.

Rev. Richard E. Sykes is telling his
Denver friends a joke on himself.
which he relates with great glee. AS
is known, he recently resigned his pas
torate in Denver to take charge OF
congregation in a suburb of Boston.
On Wednesday he was down at one
of the freight depots shipping his goods
to his new home.
The clerk did not know me" is the
way DR.. Sykes tells the story, and
when he had listed my goods he leaned
over and asked:
Say. mister. do you have any live
animals?'
Il was somewhat surprised at the
question, but quickly and truthfully
answered that had not.
"'Well,' he went on, let mo give
you a tip. If you have a donkey or
burro or something like that you could
ride through for nothing in the car.
to take care of it.
Il would like to go into Boston in
that manner, wouldn't -" and he
laughed with great satisfaction.
The portion of the story which Mr..
Sykes did not know is that the query
put to him is one of the stock jokes at
the freight depots If he had shown
certain trepidation when the first query
was asked. 1t would have eventually
led to a suggestion that maybe his beds
contained live animals. AS he showed
certain signs of not being the right fell
low for that sort of joke he had the
other sprung on him as means Of the
Joker letting himself down easily

Value Of Eggs as Food.

The more thoroughly an egg has
been cooked the more severe is the
labor demanded of the stomach. II
We would get from this article of food
its utmost value it should be eaten
either raw or underdone. Hard-b boiled
eggs are suggestive of picncs and
dyspepsia. Raw eggs is splendid
stimulant when one is exhausted from
any cause whatever. 1t is by no
means unpalatable when eaten with
salt. pepper and a dash of vinegar. For
weakly children raw eggs beaten with
milk make first class food. The mix
ture may be sweetened with sugar,
and it is best to give it in small guam
titles at short intervals. The flavor
IA improved by adding port wine. One
tablespoonful of wine will suffice for
one pint of the mixture. The formula
would run: Two raw eggs. one table,
spoonful of wine and sufficient milk
" make one pint.

UTILIZING THE SUMS RAYS.
Cheap Fuel Used by Residents Of
Southern California.


The residents of Southern Califor-
mia have gone into partnership with
the sun. There the sun is more plen-
tiful than coal, and so they put the
former to work. utilizing the heat
rays for many purposes. one of which
is known as the solar water heater
By the plan they have adopted they
make the sun heat the water in the
kitchens and bathrooms in the houses
and for other domestic purposes. In
California and other states where the
sun may be depended on the item Of
fuel is entirely eliminated, and how
ever cheap fuel may be, no fuel is
cheaper than the sun.
The domestic arrangement for keep
ing water hot at all hours of the day
or night is effected by inse rting in the
roof a solar heater, consisting of a
number of mirrors rejecting the suns
rays, so that the heat is concentrated
upon the water in metallic troughs,
which absorb the heat rays and soon
bring the water to a nearly boiling
temperature.

Baby Finds a Bottle Of CarboIie Acid
and Drinks II.

While the mother was unpacking

acid while playing on the floor and
his stomach was so badly burned 1t
was feared he would not live for he
could not eat ordinary foods. The
mother says in telling OF the case:
"lt was all two doctors could do to
save him as it burnt his throat and
stomach SO bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing
would lay on his stomach. Finally
took him into the country and tried
new milk and that was no better for
him. His Grandma finally suggested
Grape Nuts and am thankful | adopt

better right away and would not eat
anything else. He commenced to get

and every place we went to stay to
eat he called for Grape-Nuts and I

The LARGEST Sun.

The conception of the magnitude OF

the greatest body in the universe, is
difficult indeed. even when Mr.. Gore

nishes the sun as a step by which the
imagination may raise itself. We have
some appreciation of the size Of the
earth with its circumference of $4,000
