Fifteen members of the graduating
class of the Mount Vernon, n. Y,
high school were kidnapped on the
night after the commencement exer-
cises by band of hazers, composed
of former graduates, and taken to the
woods, where they were baptized in
a pond and tied to trees.
Some of the graduates did not get
back to Mount Vernon until after day
light. Two of them, after being lash
ed to trees for nearly two hours,
struck upon a novel scheme to free
themselves. They took matches from
each others pockets and burned the
ropes with which they were tied.
Before the exercises began the po-
lice heard rumor that the graduates
were to be hazed, and policemen We're
stationed around the school building
to guard against any trough house"

England is much exercised over the
disclosures made recently by Lord
Onslow, president of the British
board of trade, as to the nefariOus
practice of certain foreigners of dye

with coffee in order to secure the
rich brown shade which it seems all
Londoners prefer in their eggs. Lord

of their continental rivals and by the
liberal use of coffee secure the shade
which in London adds 25 cents hun

Sunshine is just as essential tn

OF this fact when building stables and

stables for both horses and cat q ara

are much better lighted THAI our

especially if there is snow on tina

horses and cows. Aside from anv

BIG JAPANESE OYSTERS,
One Of Them with an Ostrich Egg
Made Full Meal for
Nine Men.

"The strangest meal ever ate," said
a sailor, according to the Washington
Post, twas dished up to me in the Yellow
sea nine years ago. This meal consisted
Of an ostrich egg and a Japanese oyster.
There were nine of us fell to, an d the
egg and the oyster made enough for all.
The egg was hard boiled. Cookie had
shelled it, and it came on looking fine, all
white and glistening, with tart yellow
sauce in the bottom of the dish. We
sliced it down with knife. the same as
you would slice turkey. 1t wasn't bad
"a little eggy, that's all.
'"The Japanese oyster was nearly two
:eet long. Jap oysters, are, you know.
the biggest in the world. 1t was
served raw, and when the boatswain
stuck his long carvin' knife in it, it shiv-
cred all over, and it seemed to me kind
of low groan escaped it. 1t tasted fine
and there was enough left for stew"

FINE FEED FOR THE HENS.
Unthreshed Grain Produces Results
That Will Surprise Those Who
Have Never Fed It.

Save a small amount Of unthreshed
grain for the poultry. You will save
the thresher's bill on it, and the poul-
try will even pay you nice profit for
the privilege of working it over for
their own benefit, by an increased sup
ply of eggs, and thriftiness and growth
among the flock. Wheat is best for
this purpose, but rye and oats are also
excellent. If so desired, you can select
some OF your poorest grain for this
purpose, as the main object is to fur
16sh the poultry with some interesting
employment. Save enough of the un-
threshed grain to furnish cne good
sized bundle for every 30 hens in the
flock daily. Whole grain can with ad-
vantage be scattered among the straw
1t Will prevent the greedy ones from
glutting themselves, while the small
and weak ones have a chance to get
their share of the grain. After the
straw has been thoroughly worked
over and all grain picked out, it should
be all raked up and removed before
bringing in fresh bundle If possible.
the unthreshed grain should be placed
under shed or in barn to keep dry
If unthreshed grain cannot be OBJ
tained, dry fresh straw and chaff will
be a good substitute to sprinkle the
grain among, if frequently changed,
but it will not give as good results as
the unthreshed grain, owing to the
amount of healthy exercise which the
unthreshed grain will furnish.-Mid-
land Farmer.

them do not, and that these. latter al

ScHOOLBOYS IN GERMANY.
From Infancy Their Training Is

Scottish school inspector, in report

RARE COINS ALL coRNERED
It Is Only the Burglars That Keep
Any Of Them in Cir
culation.

The passion for making collections of
'arly stamps and coins, is like hope. 1t
springs eternal in the human breast,
says the New York Sun.
"You would be surprised,'' said a pro-
fessional collector of coins and stamps,
to know how many utterly worthless
specimens are brought to me by persons
who perhaps have treasured them for
long and then. needing money, have
come to me expecting to be handsomely
paid for an article that really has no
commercial value whatever Sometimes,
indeed, l have paid good prices for
worthless articles of no use to me at all,
to save their owners from the disap-
polntment which could plainly see re-
fusal would cause them.
"Why, l handle on an average pretty
nearly 5OO specimens day, both of
stamps and coins, brought in here by
people who expect them to be literally
worth their weight in gold. Yet in spite
OF the great mum ber of specimens coming
into my hands in this way every year.
it's only about once in three years that
l md anything of real value.
You see, it's just this way. Hardly
any good rare coins or stamps are cir
culatlng at large. Almost everything
mas been picked up by collectors; and if
you follow up any rare ISSUE you can
place almost every one-either find the
owner or account for the issue.
And you will be surprised, perhaps,
when l tell you that we are indebted to
burglars for most of what we do find.
One OF the light-dngered gentry lifts
some rare old coins; he has no senti-
ments fondness for them based on age
and possible associations, and he is un-
able to make any use of them. So he
r1ds himself of the worthless and possi-
bly dangerous and discriminating arti-
cles; and in that way they drift into our
hands.
Not long ago a child went into a
candy shop with a nickel she had found.
Inc Old woman who kept the shop took
the nickel without noticing it's queer ap-
pearance, but later she saw that it was
not as other coins are, and she brought
it to me-
I found 1t to be nickel of 1856. of
which only a few were issued, as an ex-
perlmental form. gave the old woman
50 Tor her five-cent piece, and she went
away rejoicing.

coins In circulation"

The Rosy Cross of Thibet.

Any of the British officers now on
the road to Lhasa who may happen to
be Free Masons have, perhaps, just an
outside chance of solving ar interest
ing question. For there are those
who believe that the high Rosjcrucian
adopts, having emigrated to tae east
about the beginning of the seventeenth
century, still inhabit the Thibetan pla-
teaus to-day, and some of the nayster-
les of Freemasonry have beer. sup
posed to have been acquired FROM the
Rosicrucians. If they ever existed. the
Rosicrucians were secret society
possessing the art of turning paser
metals into gold, and vowed them
selves to gratuitous healing Of the
sick. Skeptics, however, maintain that
there never was such a. society, but
that it was invented as ponderous
joke. by a learned seventeenth century
treatise writer.-London Chronicle.

Il am sorry, sir" said he, that am

perhaps better. How I would like to

time l look over the sea for ship |
hope that one will come that can carry

She shook her head. "As my father
