How the woir ou,wits the Dog.

Timber is on the increase in Kansas.
Any farmer will tell you so. The
fences shield the young saplings and
the prairie fires that used to sweep the
underbrush and leave the young trees
unprotected come no longer. But the
coming of the fences and the going Of
the prairie fires have helped wolves.
There are more wolves In the country
now than there were thirty years ago.
The wolf is smart. He runs with his
head down and lodges under fences,
The dog runs Ito the line" with his
head up. lie runs into fences that the
wolf has led him to, and the dog Is cut
up and abandons the chase, There
should be a larger bounty on wolves.
The growth of timber in Kansas will
more than pay the extra Nounty.-Em-

This fable. dealing with the fall OF
White, the Russian finance minister, is
related i'm recent brochure entitled
"a Glance at the Secrets of Russian
Policy" published at Vienna: rhe
Car dreamed the following singular
dream. He saw thr' = cows, one fat,
one lean, and one blind. The next day
he sent for the metropolitan Paliadius
and begged him to explain the dream
but the metropolitan declined. The
Car then sent for Father John OF
Kronstadt, and made the same request
to him. Father John stroked his long
curly hair with his hand and made re-

this way: The fat COW is the finance
minister, the lean one is the Russian
people, and the blind ONE Don't

rruo to Her Task.

1t would be disrespectful to say that
there is anything obstinate about
sitting hen, but one must acknowledge
at least that she Is firm.
There is u story Of good old coun-
try doctor who found that hen was
sitting in the back of wagon, long
unused. His everyday wagon had
given out, and he needed the old one
to make a round of calls; 10 he har-
messed up and started the hen and all.
Thus he continued to do day after
day, and the sitter was faithful to her
post. Only the eggs suffered incon-
venience, for the jarring finally added
them.
The Springfield Republican tells the
story of another hen which was en-
gagged one night in brooding over some
eggs in barrel in the livery stable
where she made her home.
The stable caught fire. With the
courage of the boy on the burning
deck, she refused to leave her post.
The top OF the barrel took fire. II

hen did not move.

"rhs Oldest London Kitchen"

Perhaps the oldest relic in London Of
a medieval kitchen is at Westminster
Abbey, though little remains to indi-
cate it save the rubble flooring, the
buttery hatch. and an adjoining cellar,
now the handsome dining hall of Can
on Wilberforce. The monk who acted
as kitchener or refectOrlan hada respon-
sibiltiy as great as any hotel manager
or chef in these days. For among his
fellow monks, TO say nothing of the
pensioners, were critics as keen as any
among the worldfamed diners OF to-
day. Yet the Abbey kitchen was
scarcely more elaborate than any one
of those which lingcr on in the remote

Oldest Ship Ahoat.

There is at present lying at New
castle schooner which is supposed to
he the oldest ship OF her kind sailing
under the Union Jack. Her Name Ia
the Dart: she was built at Carnarvon
seventy eight years ago, and ever since
has been in constant employment. Al
one time she sailed between Carnarvon
and Liverpool; she is now engaged In
the coastlng trade between Arbroath
and ports on the northeast coast OF
England.
The Dart has another distinction be-
sides her age. She is manned by the
oldest crew sailing the high seas. The
captain is seventy, the mate seventy.
two, the cook seventy -one and q sea
man sixty-one- a total of 1862. They

years; and were all boys together

The record of what may be termed
unnatural deaths In the United States
in the year 1905 is CHASTITY one, com
ments the Mirror and Farmer. There
was no war, civil or foreign, in which
the lives of Americans were sacrificed,
but the list OF casualties by fire and
flood, upon railroads and steamboats,
in highways, among people employed
in factories and stores, and In pleasure
seeking crowds, would be an appalling
one II It could be put into statistical
exhibit. During the year 10i persons
were lynched or murdered by mobs,
1913 were killed by authority of law for
various crimes, S597 committed suicide,
and there was large number OF muir
ders. including 1888 by burglars, robbers
and thieves. The statistics, which are
collected from newspaper files, are. of
course, incomplete. but as nearly as
can be ascertained about 10000 people
went to their deaths by their swn
hands or those Of others.

Several of the magazines published
for railway men and engineers are
asking for the invention Of q new
kind of railway track. The present
track, they say, has been the same
for thirty years and cannot bear fast
travel as it should. The old wooden
cross-tie is in use everywhere, though
1t was long ago out of date. There
is no evenness nor elasticity in the
broken stone and gravel upon which
the tie rests. The foundation is I'M

attention. A flood will destroy 1t in a
