Danish origin is repudiated, it is called

that name all the varieties of German
mastiff, SO that, taking the one with

The Hea West Thin. In the World.
The heaviest thing in the world is tho
metal osmium, the blush whits metal
with violet luster which Mr.. Smithson
Tenant discovered 80 years ago in the
residue from dissolved platinum ores.
This metal has specific gravity of %. :
az; that of gold being 1926; lead,
11.367; iron, 7.79, and lithium, the
lightest, only 0. 594.
The French chemist, Jolly, determined
that osmium is likewise the most in
fusible of metals 1t could never be
made to yield to the oxyhydrogen flame
which makes platinum and iridium
run like water, but Jolly has been SUBJ
jecting osmium to the exclusively high
temperature Of the electric arc which
Moissan has of late employed successful
ly in the manufacture of diamonds.
Under this fierce heat the rare metal,
ruthenium, which used to be deemed all
but infusible, readily melts, but osmium
remains refractory, there being apparent
~ only the faintesU traces of fusion. On
this account osmium cannot be prepared
in sufficient quantities to maze it very
useful in the arts, but it's alloy with II.
iridium, which defies the acids, is Of
some value, nothing better having been
found wherewith to tip gold pens. Be-
ing nonmagnetic, it's employment for
the bearings of the mariners compass

Homely Peggy Again Heard From.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-You are not looking for
Peggy to visit you so soon, but woman-like, she
can't hold her tongue, especially when there are
different opinions. Now, Mr.. James Dorman,
if you think you have silenced Peggy by pulling
ziz-zag ways, you are mistaken. In the first
place, I never mentioned a rabbit. I can truth
fully say in my rambles through the fields and
forest I have never discovered a rabbit sitting in
a tree or bush singing a sweet song like the birds
I spoke of, neither do / think their plumage
is much admired, or does much to beautify this
world. They are looked on as a nuisance and
troublesome pest, and I think if we had not been
wide-awake, stirring intelligent people, they would
have tried a nibble on us, for it, was almost i'm
possible to start anything this spring. Not only
Gardens, but young fruit trees and flowers were
ruined, while the community is over-run with

Learning Housekeeping.

Dear Aunt Jennie Il believe every woman
should learn to cook. If she does not have to cook,
she feels Independent, and if she does have to,
she would not sell that knowledge for dollars.
The canning season has arrived and / have begun
to replenish my pantry supplies. Canning is not
hard work if you understand how to do it. Every
thing about housekeeping is hard to do if you
don't know how it is done and never had any ex
perience. One of the most helpless human beings
I ever saw was a bride who had never even made
up a bed, and [ witnessed her first effort. / was
sorry for her, and at the same time felt a disgust
unutterable. The idea of a seemingly sane human
woman never having fixed the bed on which she
slept when she had occupied space in the world
for over twenty years made me ashamed of my
sex. I was sorry for the young man, her husband,
as he had a sensible mother and had evidently
been captivated by a pretty face and superficial
accomplishments She declared to me that she
had suffered from cramp in her arms caused by
practicing on the piano several hours a day. Well,
[ wondered if she would have suffered in this way
had she learned the calisthentics of the broom and
thus strengthened her muscles. Wealth is all
right provided it is coupled with good, common
sense; but it is absurd to let a girl grow to wo-
manhood and be of no more use in the world than
a jelly fish.
Well, [ have talked and talked, and still have
not said what I meant to say, but must stop or
Aunt Jennie will drop this in her waste basket.

In Defense of the Birds.

Dear Aunt Jenpie:-As I am only a boy, I will
write a short letter to the boys who read The
Progressive Farmer. When you boys are killing
birds, you are destroying a helper-one that helps
your father and everybody else. Perhaps you do
not know it now, but the day will come when you
will know it. You may think that birds are of
no use, but they are. You may say, II saw a bird
like that eating the bees or pecking an ear of
corn" but he was looking for worms and, be-
sides, the birds are worth more to you than the
bees.
Again, you kill birds to eat, but birds are worth
much more out in the fields destroying worms and
bugs that would destroy thousands of dollars of
grain or fruit than they would be to you in your
stomach or the beautiful plumes in your hat.
If you were in a world where there we're no
birds you would soon realize their value to the
farmer and, besides, you would miss their charm
ing songs on bright spring days and in the sum-
mer. THOMAS ALBERT POPE.

Summer Economies.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-When black gloves grow
rusty their usefulness can be prolonged by lightly
daubing them with the tip of a feather dipped in
a teaspoonful of sweet oil in which a few drops
of good black ink has been stirred, and they should
be mended with cotton thread, as silk thread cuts
the kid. The white or yellow channels or castor
gloves worn in summer may be washed on the
hands in a lather of pure soap and warm soft
water, first rubbing the most soiled spots with
magnesia, then after rinsing in warm and then in
cold water, they should be kept on the hands until
nearly or quite dry. Give added length of days
to kid and other leather shoes, as we'll as keep
them black and soft, by rubbing often with a little
vaseline on a soft cloth, and when they become
wet, they should be stuffed with soft paper to
preserve the shape. If you have a pair of nice
stockings with worn feet, it will be worth while
to get new feet for them, and you can get a pair
of the best quality for ten cents, and you can get
them in a tan color or in black or white, and it
takes only a little while to sew them on. I have
seen summer waists made p~rettier than when
new, by setting in a vest when they had become
too tight across the bust, and the dress shields
can be freshened by washing them in warm suds,
to which a little ammonia has been added, and
then after rinsing carefully, they should be pull
ed into perfect shape and pinned to a cloth drawn
smoothly over board to dry. When a black straw
polish, and a colored straw hat that has faded may
be made to look as nice as new by dissolving some
diamond dye for wool of the same shade as the
