ford, a pretty country lass Of New

NAVAL oUNNERY RECORDS.

II appears from a tabulated state
ment of the results OF the annual
target practice issued by the navy de-
partment that the gunners OF our feet
have attained a very high degree Of
accuracy. This Is particularly true
with regard to guns Of five-inch cali
Der and upward. The north Atlantic
and the Asiatic battleship %squadrons
have distinguished themselves by rec
ords of 1927 per cent and 1884 per
cent, respectively. The cruisers have
not done SO well as the battleships.
The explanation Is simple enough.
The larger vessel constitutes a stead
Ter gun platform in a seaway, and, It's
guns being placed higher, a more per-
feet range is secured. This conclu-
sion is emphasized by the fact that the
gun practice Of the torpedo fotillas
was very UNEQUAL.

To Wash White Lace veijs,

These should be washed as follows:
Put the wells into a strong lather OF
white soap and very clear water, and
let them simmer slowly for a quarter
Of an hour. Take out and squeeze
well, but do not rub. Rinse twice in
cold water, the second time with a
drop or two of liquid glue. Have ready
some very clear, weak gum arabic. or
thin starch or rice water; pass the
wells through it, and clean them by
clapping. Then stretch them out
evenly and pin out to dry on a cloth,
opening out each scallop and fasten-
ing with pins. When dry, lay a piece
of thin muslin owe and iron On the

WHAT THE CooN's EYES SAID

We give below In negro dialect an
extract from Mrs. Sutherland's dramas
entitled "Po' White Trash" II rep
resents a negro in the act of killing
a coon. He has brought the poor
beast to bay and now has him at his,
mercy. Just before firing the fataF
shot he catches the coon's eye and is
stopped %momentarily by the pathetic
appeal which he reads there. The ne
gro is giving al account to the doc
tor, and we will let him tell ID in his
own way:
An then, Doctor, l saw that coon's
eyes--I saw that cOon's eyes. Doe
tor, II never saw a coon's eyes,

First Hiah Pews in Churches.

During the reign of william ana

complained to the latter that the
ladies of the court were wont to fix
their eyes on their neighbors rather
than on him during his discourse. II
apparently eve occurred to the d.
vine that the fault might lie IN the
sermons themselves.
BY consent of the Queen high pews
were introduced to prevent wander

a soap and water shampoo a dry salt
rub is a good thing for the hair once
in a while. Loosen the hair, then rub
table salt thoroughly into the roots,
and brush 1t out again carefully. The
dust and dirt come with it, Just as
they do when salt is sprinkled over a

was riding a motOr-tricycle to London,
when the machine caught fire. and he
used his coat to put out the flames.
The codicil was in the pocket and
was burned. Pressed by counsel, he
carefully opened a brown paper par
Gel and showed a charred garment.
He also said that the testator had
given him power to use or destroy
the codicil as he liked.

CASE OF PROFIT OR LOSS.
Inebriated Individual Had Hard Mat

A minister of the Methodist Protest
ern shore of Maryland, is convinced
that the life of clergyman is not
always strewn with roses. His views
on certain current questions had been
repeatedly misstated by others, and,
considering their action nefariously
unjust, he took occasion to refer to
it one of his Sunday morning SER
mons.
He said that he had been consoled
by calling to mind the story of an
Irishman, who is reported to have
lived somewhere in lower Delaware.
Although frugal and hard working
man, this son of Erin occs sionally
visited the town tavern on Saturday
afternoons, and sometimes returned
home in q state of intoxication On
one occasion, having imbibed SO free
ly that he was totally unable to steer
himself homeward, a kindly disposed

and deciding to play joke on the old

him short distance into the woods,
sat down to await results In short
time the Irishman awoke from his
stupor, rubbed his eyes, and, looking
about, exclaimed:

BARNARD MANURE.
A Tremendous Annual Waste-Legu-
minOus Crops and Stock Feeding.

A well kept manure heap may De
safely taken as one of the surest indl-
cations of thrift and success in farm
ing. Neglect of this resource causes
losses, which. though little appreciated,
are vast in extent Waste of manure
is either so common as to breed IN
difference or so silent and hidden as to
escape notice.
1t has been figured out that if one
third Of the manure in the United
States is wasted the total annual loss
would be about $708, 100000 annually.
If the farmer, instead of selling of
his crops, feeds them to live stock on
the farm as far as possible, large
proportion Of this fertility is retained
on the farm, and if the business OF
stock feeding is carried to the point
where feed is purchased in addition to
that grown on the farm considerable
addition may in this way be made to
the fertility of the farm at an almost
nominal cost, since it is assumed that
feed will not be bought unless it's feed
ing value will at least pay it's cost
The growing OF more leguminous
plants such as beans, peas, clover, lu-
pines, etc., as means of increasing
the fertility of the soil is strongly
recommended both from theoretical
and practical considerations, but the
leguminous crop is best utilized when 1t
is fed out on the farm and the manure
saved and applied to the soil. The
greatest profit is thus secured and near
~ the same fertility is maintained as
in green manuring. The farmer should
mend his system SO that the barnyard
manure will be as well cared for as any
other farm product. Loss from surface
washing, teaching fermentation and
decay should be guarded against. Then
the feeding of richer food will mean
richer manure and better and cheaper
crops.
1t is hard to persuade the farmer to
abandon time honored practices and
adopt methods with which he is I'M
familiar He also hesitates about
mourning the necessary expense OF
building suitable receptacles for the
storage of manure, frequently assum-

ANCESTRY OF THE CAR.
First Romanoff Mounted Russian
Throne in 1913


In the middle of the fourteenth GEN.
fury Kobyla, chieftain of Lithnania,
was driven from his own country for
holding fast to paganism and refus-
ing Christianity. Fleeing to Muscovy,
his abilities as warrior were vel
coined by the Gar Ivan |. So promis-
ing a career opened before him that
kobyla renowned the heather wor-
ship for which he had suffered exile
and was baptized into the church I'M
der the name Of Andrew. In course
OF events his family became known as
the Romanoffs, and in 1547 Ivan Nv
took Anastasia Romanoff to wife. The
Romanoffs thus became a notable
party in the court Of the car.
With the death of Ivan the Terri
ble's son Feodor and the assassina-
ton of the rightful successor, Dimitri,
in 1891, the house of Rurik came to an
end after reigning over Russia for 100
years. Anarchy then rent Russia
asunder. Poles, Swedes and Musco.
vite mobiles struggled for and success.
lively usurped the throne. BY virtue
OF his relationship with the late car,
Feodor Romanoff was one of the
claimants. His ability and wisdom so
enhanced his claims that his rival,
Boris Godonoff, compelled him to be-
come a priest and SO debarred him
from the throne.
Profiting by these internecine strug-
giles, the Poles seized Moscow. In de-
spair, the Russians were about to ac-
cept the king of Poland's sovereign
ty, when butcher of Novgorod raised
the people in patriotic effort which
drove out the invaders. The mobiles,
clergy and burgesses were summoned
to Moscow to elect car. The assem-
bly, met in Lent, 1913 After stormy
debates, Michael Romanoff was elect
ed king, He was youth of II. and
the sole reason of his election was
that he was the son of his father Fee
odor. Thus began the reign of the
Romanoffs.

An amusing incident occurred re
Gently in the home of Chicago fam
ilyq. Pussy Smith is monstrous cat,
great pet, especially with Flossie,
eight years old, and Jack, four years
old. One night after dinner both
wanted to carry the cat upstairs.
It's my cat!" declared Jack, stout
ly, which was true.
"But carried him from the country,
and anyhow I'm the biggest" said
Flossie determinedly.
And I'm the littlest." Jack put
the animal over one shoulder and
started for the stairs. Flossie halted
him. Dreadful sounds followed,
stormy words interspersed. Papa
Smith hurried to the scene of battle.
"Children! shouted he, put the
cat down; we'll settle this by business
methods. Who pays for the cats board
anyhow"
Flossie and Jack were puzzled.
Neither of you owns that cat"
added the father. Il pay his board;
your mother cares for him; you mere
ly own half shares. Jack, carry your
half upstairs: Flossie, carry your half.
Never again must I hear such a dis.
turbance."
Without smile those children slow
ly, laboriously lugged the cat as sug-
gestef. Pussy's head held by Jack,
the body by Flossie. There has been
no further trouble.
