WaterIoEged SerVians.

An Englishwoman travelling in Ser,
via thus gives striking glimpse of
her own prejudices and tastes: 1.-The
Servians drink too much cold water,
and they drink it till they are PUPPY.
An average Serb drinks enough cold
water for an English COW. l doubt
whether the language contains an
equivalent for bad training for when
tried to explain the idea it created
surprise. A doctor told me he had
never heard the theory before. To him
1t seemed a natural and wholesome
habit. Moreover, he added, there is
plenty and seemed to think it was
rather wasteful to leave any unswal-
lowed. To me it explained the lack of
activity. The nation is waterlogged.
All day long and every day the Serb
calls for a glass of cold water. and
when he has drunk it he calls for an
other. Perhaps owing to this he has
little space for alcohol. At any rate.

When eating a good pear or apple
save the seeds and plant them either in
a flower pot, where they will germi-
nate before long, or else directly in the
garden, when they will come up next
spring. To prevent their loss the place
must be covered as a mark. 1t takes
a number of years before they bear
fruit, but to see the progress of growth
from year to year is always interest

while for them to plant trees. They

the story goes, an old sea captain of
Nantucket or thereabouts took his wife

made her lookout. After awhile the
woman piped out, "Landw "Whar
away?" beloved her lord. why, right
over there, just the other side of all

"Tother side O. fiddlesticks" roared
the captain. Cant you tell me in

pened that the captains wife was un-
acquainted with nautical terms, and
while she could do many useful things
she could no more have boxed the COM
pass than she could have flown. So the
captain shouted to her. Pint, Judy.

In Nature,s wonderIard.

There is but one Grand canyon. The
name should never have been given to
lesser gorges. The very fact that there
is a so called Grand canyon in Colora-
do is misleading. "The Grand canyon
Of Colorado" does not sound much diff
ferent from "the Grand canyon of the
Colorado" Hence many people con-
fuse them.
The canyon of the Colorado river,
which flows through Arizona, forms
the boundary line between that terrific
ry and California and then empties
into the gulf of California.
1t is the grandest gorge in the world.
In it 5000 of the wonderful gorges of
the state of Colorado could be buried.
With its tributaries, many of which
have never yet been explored. 1t would

one after another, nearly around the

The Benefit of Fairy Tales.

1t is very reasonable to argue that no
creation of human fancy could last as
fairy tales have lasted through no one
knows how many hundreds and thou
sands of years unless it was very good.
For that which is not good and not
sound must surely die, and only that
which is good and sound shall last
through the grinding of the ages.
So l believe that parents should fill
their children's imaginations full Of
fairy tales if they would make those
imaginations strong and healthy. AS

The First Locomotive In Maine.

The first locomotive used in the
state of Maine came from England,
having been built at the works of Rob-
ert Stephenson & Co. in the year 1885,
and made its first trip over the Bangor,
Oldtown and Milford railroad on Aug.
10, 1887. This road was then generally
known as the "Veazie road" and the
track was made of wooden rails
strapped with iron. The shackles used
to connect the engine and cars were
made of three thicknesses of sole or
belt leather held together by copper
rivets and had hole in each end so as
to hook over an upright stationary pin
bolted or driven into rigid beam ex-
tending from the end of the car. 1t is
said that for time the engine was run
in opposition to a six OK team en-
ployed by Bangor lumber dealer who
was not willing to pay the rates
charged on the railroad, and it was
not until the management of the line
came to what he considered fair
charges that he turned his traffic over
to it,

his arms and gazed steadily at the
judges. A hush fell upon the court

the stiffness, turned and looked inquir-

among the old fishermen and hand
loom weavers of Girvan, Scotland. The
industries of the town are fast decay

fields. When the grownup sons and

How Eggs Are Hatched In China

HOW Eggs Arc HaJcheu In emma.
A curious method of Matching eggs
has been adopted in China. The eggs
are placed in tiers in a large basket
twice the size of an ordinary barrel,
which is thickly lined with hay and
carefully closed from the air by tight
fitting cover of twisted straw. In three
days time the eggs are taken out and
replaced in a different order, those at
the surface being put in the lower tier.
This is repeated every third day for a
fortnight. when the eggs are removed
from the basket and placed on a shelf
in another room, being carefully COW
cred with bran. In a day or two the
chickens chip the shells and make their
appearance in the world. The success
of this method is attributed to the fact
that the animal heat of the egg, being
retained by the basket, which is form
ed of material not conducting caloric.
Is sufficient to support animal life and
develop ii.

Disadvantage of an Even Tempe

Disadvantages OF an Even Temper.
1t is usual to envy the even tempered
people-those who are never unduly
elated or cast down. who "knit on
plain" all the time. If one like that sort
of thing it would be equally natural
to envy the animals-cows and pigs, for
instance-whose serenity is seldom dis
turbed. For my Fart think those even
tempered people lose nine-tenths of the
pleasure of existence. The depths Of
grief and gloom into which impulsive
people are thrown are amply made up
for by the equally unreasonable and
unreasoning joy into which they spring
at the slightest possible excuse, and
the sorrow of a quarrel with dear
one is paid for in the delight Of "mak-
ing up" Parents are very apt to i'm
press on their children the beauty of
this even disposition, but so far as l
can see the only benefit derived from
It is an unwrlnllled complexion.-Dona-

REvErMENT FOR PROTECTING RIVER BANK

stead of perpendicular and to keep it
covered with vegetation. The willow
is admirably adapted to holding allu-
vial soil in place. 1t is far more sery-
iceable for this purpose than walls of
masonry, and the facility with which
it reproduces itself by seed, suckers,
sprouts and cuttings, both natural and
artificial, makes its use very simple
and inexpensive.
The great difficulty with planting
any sort of tree on perpendicular
banks is that the caving of the soil is
SO rapid that the planted tree has no
opportunity 70 get start before it is
undermined and precipitated into the
river. An excellent scheme has been
proposed by Mr.. e. Bayles of Kansas.
The plan is as follows: Green willow
poles eighteen to twenty feet long are
secured in the spring, just after the ice
goes out of the stream. These poles
are laid on the ground near the bank
two feet apart, with their butts ala
pointing toward the river. Woven
fence wire is then stretched along over
the poles and stapled fast to each one.
Sections of wire about 100 feet long
can be handled to best advantage
After the wire has been securely fas
tened to the poles they are all pushed
over the bank together. so that the
butts Of the poles will fall and sink
into the soft mud at the waters edge.
AS the bank caves off some of the fall
ing soil will lodge on the wire, partial
ly burying and weighing down the
poles, which will consequently strike
root and grow. The wire will serve to
hold the mass of Willows together I'M
til they have become firmly rooted.
The ends of the wove.l wire should be
made fast to wire cables running back
over the bank some distance and fas-
tened to posts set firmly in the ground.
The caving and erosion of the bank
will soon round off its top corners, and
the growing willows at the waters
edge will catch the soil as it rolls down
the declivity. causing bank to form
of just the right slope ~ resist erosion
most effectually.
