SECRETARIES SIGNATURES
New Head of the Navy Writes His
In Elegant and Painstak-
ing Manner.

Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte's
signature is the subject of much specu-
lation among the different bureaus of
the department. Nothing like it has
been seen for at least four generations
of secretaries, and the speculation,
says the Times, as to how long it will
last in it's present entirety. 1t is large,
distinct, carefully rounded, and every
letter is made with care. 1t is what
might be called handsome, and Secre-
tary Bonaparte writes it with much
care, spelling the Charles" out and
finishing with little flourish and a
carefully added period.
Secretary Longs signature used to
look like rapid dash down hill. Sec
retary Moody's was an incoherent as
semblage. of vertical and inclined lines,
and Secretary Morton's bold, running
hand showed a tendency to stretch out
into a straight line before he finished
his incumbency.
Secretary Bonaparte has calmly ig-
nored suggestions that &C. j." would
be just as binding and would be less
laborious, and devotes the time while
the signature is being formed to learn
ing the why and wherefore of the pa
per before him, SO that the temptation
to perfunctory signing is much les
sened.
President Roosevelt, when assistant
secretary of the navy, began by writ
ing Theodore" in full, but soon got
down to the familiar ''T. Roosevelt. :
"T don't like it," he would say, holding
a completed signature at arms length,
"but it does save time"

Clean Grain and Chopped Fodder.

In preparing food for horses it is
important that grain should be properly
cleaned. In a case in which, after a
severe drouth, it was unavoidable to
feed oats containing tares and other
leguminous seeds, symptoms of lathy-
rus poisoning were noticed in a number
Of horses. The attacks were frequent
Iy severe and sometimes fatal. When
the oats were properly cleaned this
trouble entirely ceased.
Cleaning further increases the dens-
tty Of the oats by removing mineral
matter and dust, which may sometimes
induce attacks Of intestinal obstruc-
lions, collie, etc. No advantage appears
to be gained by grinding the grain, as
horses, excepting old ones, prefer to
crush it themselves.
For the last five years a prominent
horseman has chopped the coarse fod-
ders, using a ration of equal parts OF
hay and straw, and this practice has
been found the most profitable for sew
eral reasons. Thus, straw may be
made to form an integral part Of the
ration, and the proportions Of hay and
straw may be accurately regulated.
Horses waste much less of such fod-
der, especially if some other material
than straw is used for the bedding

Practical Poultry Points.

Keep your fowl stock young; old
hens are wholly Improbable to keep.
Cocks as well as hens eat a lot Of
food, and no cock is necessary except
during the Matching season.
Grade your eggs as to size; it i'm.
proves the sample, and consequently
the price.
Large, lOose-feathered hens of the
Cochin or Brahma type lay small eggs,
and but few of them. They are also
large eaters and poor rangers.
Close-feathered, medium-sized hens
Of the Leghorn type are non-sitters,
good rangers and great layers.
1t costs nearly as much to keep a hen
that lays eighty eggs in the year as
one that lays 100. :
Fowls should not be fed near the
door of your dwelling house, or they
will stand about all day looking for
food.
Fowls ~roosting in trees and open
buildings seldom lay many eggs, and
those they do lay are often laid astray
and lost.

The Poverty Of Christ.

Is a man poor! Let him remember
Christ's knowledge of his poverty. II
is no light thing to be poverty-stricken
in the midst of wealth. To see loved
ones denied comforts and even ne
cessities merely through lack Of a few
pieces of glittering metal; to have
growing sons and daughters deprived
of an education; to see suffering ones
unrelieved; to have no opportunities
to increase ones usefulness; to expose
ones family to moral degradation be
cause of lack of a competence-these
are but a few of the evils of poverty.
To men in such circumstances, Christ
said, 81 know thy poverty" Who bet
ter could understand? Had He not
as an eldest son seen something of
sordid economies in that carpenters
home at Nazareth? Had He not as q
widows main support suffered in the
harsh limitations of a Galilean peas
ants lot? Had He not at times beer
deprived of a place to lay His headi

Eye Shall Knou Hereafter,

What is approved by God-honorl
Him, resembles Him-must be made
successful, triumphant and FREEDOM
inant, in His empire. He will not for
ever suffer the enemy's camp OF Hia
grand field. The awful mystery, why
this triumphant ascendancy is so slowly
achieved, so long delayed in this world
will, it is reasonable TO believe, be one
of the subjects for illumination in q
higher state of existence. where en-
larging faculties will have endless
duration for their exercise. 1t may
then be seen that the whole course Of
this world, from the beginning to the
end, was "a day of small things" as
compared with the sequel-only as q
brief introduction to an immense and
endless economy.-John Foster.

How Milk Helms.

Milk as q feed, when combined with
other feeds, has a very much larger
feeding value than when fed by itself.
1t also increases the value Of the
other feed. Just how this is, the
scientists have not yet worked out.
Thus an experiment was made in feed
ing 100 pounds of skim milk to pigs
weighing about 125 pounds. That skim
milk, when fed alone, made five pounds
Of pork. Then 100 pounds Of corn was
fed alone, and that made ten pounds
Of pork. That would indicate that 100
pounds of corn would make fifteen
pounds Of pork. But when the two
were fed together the experimenters
were surprised to find that they made
eighteen pounds of pork, or three
pounds more than could be explained.
Thus it is evident that milk in bal
ancing a food makes it possible for the
animal to use it to better advantage
than when the grain is used alone.

tation. One of the things Solomon did
not ask was honor. 1t was enough for
him to be wise and just. Wisdom and
justice were the highest sources of his
honor. For wisdom and justice he is
reputed above all else. If day by day
we strive for the inward things from
which reputation takes substance and
shapeliness, we need give ourselves no
further thought about the matter.
What men think Of US will take care OK
itself. Growing plants do not give
themselves concern over summer; they
are the gift of spring to summer, and
summer will take care Of them. So,
living as we ought, we commit u rep
utation TO God, whose presence and
whose care are the real summer Of all
good things among men.
If Solomon informed his courtiers OF
his request to Heaven they probably
told him that he had missed a great
opportunity. They might easily have
said: "Why did you not ask for riches,
for vastly extended power and do
minion? How much better they would
have been than wisdom? We could
have furnished the wisdom" But the
prayer was of the right sort. Jehovah
was pleased with its modesty; and the
things that were not asked for were in
due time given. The surprise of life
often lies in the insigniflcanee of the
means to some great end. People in
the navy know that the smallest thing
connected with a great gun is the most
indispensable-the firing pin. That
gone, and the gun, so to say, is on the
shelf. In the army one of the smallest
duties Of the cavalryman is the car
ing for his horse. There is an instance
in history where cavalry that did tais
duty well and cavalry that did it Ill,
otherwise equally matched, fought a
battle, in which those who neglected
their horses were cut down almost to
a man. Doors to great events swing
outward on little hinges. Art and reli.
gion and education and war abound
with decisions and acts and incidents,
small in themselves as mustard seeds,
yet so growthful that great events and
great deeds have come and lodged in
the branches thereof.
Let us also treasure the words of the
Master in direct line with the truth W
have been considering: "Seek We first
the kingdom of God and His righteous.

added unto you"

The Gaze Of opportunitr.

There is no time in life when oppor.
tunity, the chance to be and to do,
gathers so richly about the soul as
when it has to suffer. Then everything
depends on whether the man turns to
the lower or higher helps. If he re-
sorts to mere expedients and tricks the
opportunity is lost. He comes out no
richer or greater; nay, he comes out
harder, poorer, smaller for his pain.
But if he turns to God the hour OF
suffering is the turning point Of his
life.-Phillips Brooks.
