DOVECOTS IN SCOTLAND.

According to Law. No One May Build
More Than One.
1t is not universally known that the
right of erecting a dOvecOt was priv
ilege only to be enjoyed in England by
the lords of the manor. and the law
was vigorously enforced on this point.
But in Scotland. according to a statute
still held in observance. nobody has
right to build cot in either town or
country unless he is the owner of land
yielding about 96O imperial bushels Of
produce per annum, and this property
must be situated within at least two
miles of the dOvecot or pigeon house.
A further enactment also states that
on the above named conditions only
one cot shall be built.
A distinguished authority on hus-
bandry estimated that in 1923 there
were 10000 dOvecots in England and
that, allowing 500 pairs to each house,
the damage wrought by the birds in
devOuring corn would work out at no
less than 100000 bushels-that is, an
allowance of four bushels yearly to
each pair. Any one who destroyed a
cot was guilty of theft and is so held
at the present time in Scotland (the
act was passed in 1879, while a third
offense of dOvecOt breaking was capi-
tally punishable Perfect specimens
Of these cots are becoming scarcer ev-
cry year.-HCur Glass.

SEA SHELLS.
The Way They Are Formed From the
Mantle of the Fish.

The Way They Are Formed From the
Mantle of the Fish.
A sea shell, whether in one piece
(univalve). as in periwinkles, or in two
pieces (bivalve), as in mussels and coc-
kles, is formed in much the same way.
1t consists of a colOred outer horny
layer, middle layer Of prismatic struc-
ture and an inner pearly coating of
innumerable very thin plates. the edges
Of which break up white light into its
constituents, so as to give rise to a
beautiful play Of iridescence.
The body Of a shellfish is invested
in a soft flap Of skin known as the
mantle" By the activity OF this the
shell is secreted, a sticky fluid exudes
from its surface and quickly bardens
to form horny or calcareous matter
The salts of lime are chiefly in the
form Of carbonate, but there is also a
percentage Of phosphate.
Only the edge Of the mantle is able
to manufacture the two outer layers Of
the shell, and repair Of injuries is en-
tirely carried out in nacre. or mother

The Engines of War.

At a dinner during the Franco-Ger-
man war Disraeli did not open his
mouth till near the end of the enter
tainment, when he observed in his
most sententiOus manner: "The French
embarked in this war because they con-
ceived that they had the superiority in
arms Of precision; they had the chasse-
pot and they had the mitrailleuse
(Which he pronounced 'mitraillouseO; e;
but of the third engine, called a man,
they did not possess even a single
specimen" This said, he relapsed into
perfect silence.-Diary of Sir Mount
stuart Grant Duff.

The Need For Wnter.

Water constitutes about two-thirds
of the weight of the body and enters
into the composition Of all the tissues
and fluids. To keep the necessary pro-
portion, a large quantity needs to be
ingested. One Of the great dietetic err
rors is the neglect to take a sufficient
quantity. The amount found in foods
is insufficient, and about five cupfuls
should be taken daily in beverages. A
vegetable diet diminishes the need of
water, while one composed largely of
animal food increases this need.

SHODDY CLOTH.
IL Is Made From Secondhand Yarns
Spun Over Cotton Warp.

Spun Over Cotton Warp.
Il would like you to tell me just what
is meant by the term 'shoddy' as ap-
piled to cloth used in clothing" said
the young man who was looking for
clothing in the store of a we'll informed
clothier. Il have heard of shoddy' all
my life, and do not just understand
exactly what is meant by it,"
"Well," replied the clOthier, "'shod-
dy' is used in the construction of many
fabrics which go into the manufacture
or clothing for both men and women.
1t is so skillfully combined in recent
years that it is not possible for any
but an expert to detect it until the
goods are worn to some extent. Shod-
dy cloths are made from cheap yarns
spun over cotton warp. These yarns
are spun from old wOOlen rags chop
ped into waste, then carded and spun
into threads of various sizes and
strength. The cloth is soft. nicely fin
iShed and attractive in appearance and
comparatively free from imperfections
The goods cost the clOthier from 10 to
30 cents yard, and larger yardage
is consumed than of any other kind of
goods manufactured for mems wear.
"One of the advantages of the shOddy
Is that it can be woven into patterns
similar to those of the most expensive
wOOlens, which is not always true with
respect to pure cotton yarn, which. be-
ing hard and wiry. does not lend itself
to soft effects. Utica Observer.

SPEAKING of the Democratic
State Convention at Dover last
Tuesday, the Morning Meas sizes
up the situation as follows; "It
was a cat-and-dog squabble be-
tween rival aspirants for leadership.
Thus the Democratic donkey is to
the fore in Delaware. With four
cut of the six delegates selected to
go to St. Louis opposed to the pre-
Sentation of the name of Judge
Gray as a candidate for the Presi-
dental nomination, the convention
nevertheless declared that the dele
gates should be instructed to pre-
sent his name and work and vote
for the Delaware man. 1t was a
surprising outcome of a most inter
esting tussle, and it is to be taken
that a feeling of Estate pride"
brought about the adoption of the
resolution of instruction.
eve do not fancy that any of
the delegates have the slightest
notion that Judge Gray will play
an important part in the St. Louis
convention, and thus they must
hold that the complimentary action
could do no harm. When it is
KlN5wn that one of the most strenu-
OTIS leaders of the Gray forces at
Dover has the reputation of being
a warm and everlasting admirer of
William J. Bryan, and thus natur-
ually with strong feeling in favor
of William r. Hearst, it is rather
entertaining to find him leading
the fight for the Gray resolution of
instruction.
'But Delaware Democrats are
not to make the nomination at St.
Louis-nOt by a large majority
Delaware now has its "favorite
son, just as Massachusetts,, New
York and Wisconsin have their
"favorite sons" for presentation at
St. Louis Then there are several
other states who have no "favorite
son. and which have declared for
the sons of other states. Olney,
Gray, Parker, Wall, Hearst are
among the names now in the field
fo' honorable mention at St. Louis.
while in the background stands an
array of unpledged delegates to
control the situation, and thus able
to spring some new man upon the
convention. In the meantime the
wounds and bruises now being
inflicted by the wrangling Demo
Gratis here and there upon each
other will be kept sore and irritat-
ing, even up to the meeting of the
St. Louis convention. There will
be no end of heat felt when the
national delegates get together,
and there will be a disposition to
.u' and slash and make deals.
while the Democrats are all
"in the air" respecting the out
come of their national convention
the Republicans have been at work
harmoniously, and as the day of
their convention approaches all
signs of dissatisfaction are disap-
pearing. The Chicago convention
will be an orderly and harmonious
gathering. Its work will be done
promptly and the Republican:
throughout the country will stamt

Oregon has spoken, and when tn,

edge that the voters of the countr,

These fur merchants have sent many

The natives make it particularly hard for
convicts to escape with any degree Of

an escaped convict to take is through the
forest, northward and then eastward to
