Oliver Cromwell.

Newburg priOry claims the distinc-
ton Of sheltering the remains Of Oliver
Cromwell. After the protectors death
on his lucky day, Sept. 3. his body was
embalmed and, after lying in state for
sOme time. was inferred with regal
pomp in Westminster abbey. After
the restoration his body. along with
those Of Ireton and Bradshaw. was eX-
humed and hanged on the gibbet at
Tyburn. The heads. so the story goes.
were struck Off and placed on the top
of Westminster hall, while the bodies
were buried beneath the gallows. On
the other hand, it is said that another
body was substituted for that of Crom-
well and that the protector was buried
secretly on the Hambled0n hills. At
all events, at the top Of Newburg pri-
DRY there is a narrow room. one end Of
which is occupied by a mass of stone
work built into the wall. Here, it is
said, the remains of Oliver Cromwell
rest.

There are. according to recent reports
from Siberia, Cos creameries in that
country. Three years ago there were
but 334 Of these establishments. This
shows the rapidity with which the in
dustry is developing in that country.
1t is true that there are as yet fewer
creameries in all that great country
than in single states of the American
Union, but it is as yet h day OF
small things there. If the butter that
now comes to the London market from
those Siberian creameries is already
worrying the Danish and French max
ers of butter what will it be ten years
from now. when the Siberians count
their creameries by the thousands in
stead of by the hundreds, as now?
With the government railroads con-
stantly opening new territory and the
officials of Russia lending their pater-
nal efforts to help the business along
the importation into the countries of
Europe Of large quantities Of Siberian
butter is certain.

LAuEh aud Grow Fat.

Laugh and grow fat" is an old say
Ing. and there is more than a little
truth in it. asserts a doctor. The con
vulslve movements which we call
laughter exert a very real effect upon
the bodily framework. They cause the
arteries to dilate. so that they carry
more blood to the tissues of the body
n the heart to beat more rapidly. so
that the flow of the blood through the
vessels is FASTENED. In other words,
laughter promotes the very best condi-
tons for an increase of the vita!
processes: the tissues take up more
nutrltive material and the waste prod
ucts are more promptly removed. A
good laugh sends an increased flow Of
blood to the brain; this Immediately
that instrument of thought to
work better, with the result that
gloomy f~orebodings are SEM packing"

The dairy COW must be fed S%ystemat-
ically and regularly to insure financial
results. No hand to mouth policy
in feeding can be expected to sue
coed, says Farm and Ranch. A cow
that once shrinks in milk flow will re-
quire five times the amount of feed
to restore her TO her normal capacity
as would have been necessary to hold
her at that capacity with systematic
feeding. Take the dairyman who is
selling cream at 221a cents per pound
of butter fat, using a hand separator
and hauling his cream to the butter
factory or shipping it to some of the
concerns, and he car i'll afford to per-
NIT any let up in the flow of milk be-
cause Of irregular feeding. radical
changes in the ration or careless treat
ment or abuse of the herd.
The cow hat is returning to her
owner $4 or 50 per month for the but
ter fat produced deserves considera-
ton at the hands of her owner. Her
ration should be well balanced.

Effects of Feeding.
Gluten makes a soft bodied. high col

crumbly butter: f1axseed meal a salvy

is all right so far as color and texture
are concerned. but should be combined
with some other feeds containing 4

sufficient quantity to furnish the

likely to injure the health Of the COW.

The Lead PENCIL.

The name lead pencil is a misnomer
made correct by custom. The so called
leads of a pencil are in reality a mix
ture Of graphite and clay. Graphite is
a word derived from the Greek, mean
ing ito write" 1t is a native mineral
carbon of black color and brilliant me-
tallic luster. To the touch it feels
smooth, somewhat like soapstone, and
1t breaks in a very flaky n under
a very light blow. 1t is so soft it will
leave a trace on paper. 1t is sometimes
called plumbago and has still another
name black lead - from which. of
course, we get the name lead pencil.
Graphite is found in the oldest rock
formations, and deposits are to be
found in various parts of the world.
the most famous being those at Altai,
in Siberia, and at Ticonderoga, N. Y,
in this country.
