The Adiutant sird In Rsnnal.

In India the adiutant bird holds
a position similar to the Dutch
stork. He is a scavenger and is re
spected and protected by the law.
The adjutants are the forerunners
of the rains in Bengal and toward
the end of May make their appear
ance on the government house. No
old resident expects rain in Calcut-
ia until he has seen thirteen Of these
solemn birds sitting on the viceregal
palace. The rains, they say, cannot
come until this occurs, and the resi-
dents of the City of Palaces would
almost die of despair if they did not
toward the end of May see these ma
jestic birds. Twelve would not do.
There must be the regular thirteen.

Irish Sarcasm

A remarkable tale of Irish humor
is told by a French chauffeur, &C
cording to the London Chronicle.
He was driving in Ireland when he
rode over a cyclist. The injured
man apologized. 'Pray continue
your Journey" said he Il am real
ly ashamed to have incommoded
such a sportsman" Next day the
chauffeur received a letter from
this sympathetic stranger, full of re-
grets and making tender inquiries
about the state of the automobile.
Il must tell you" it proceeded, ''that
as a result of yesterdays accident,
for which [ alone am responsible,
expect to die soon. But l am ar
ranging to leave you a third of my
property so that you can embellish
your automobile with all the latest

An Off Year.

There are people in England, as
elsewhere, who do not believe that
the civilian is greatly benefited
mentally, physically or morally by
a few weeks service in the militia.
But surely as long as such stories
as the one below can be told of any
man his military training is not an
unmixed evil. =
An officer in charge of the bath
parade at a garrison near the sea,
where the amateur soldiers were
mainly from the inland and mining
counties of England, reports that
the first day as he was watching the
men getting ready for their dip he
noticed one who looked very dark.
A comrade noticed him also and
said, 'Jack, you're pretty dirty"
eyes," said Jack simply. II was

Free to Farmers.

In Bulletin No. 116 recently issued
py the Vermont Agricultural Experir

mends the following Ingredients for
fall seeding, without manure. The
amounts named are for one acre.

tree sample of the above ingredients,
excepting the ashes, and give the cost
thereof laid down at the Farmers

been taken therefrom as in the case

Nearly all the large fertilizer manu-

therefrom. Mr.. Pages Bone Meal is
a by product from the manufacture of
Pages Perfected Poultry Food, and is
the bone -four sifted out from the
graduated bone which forms one of
che principal ingredients of this Poul-

Mr.. Page to furnish a pure Bone Meal
at so low price. Save your ashes
and mix with this Bone Meal and you
will find it worth double the cost.

Home Tackle-Making.

There is no more interesting and
absorbing occupation during the spare
hours, for the young angler, than the
home manufacture of his tackle.
Of course, few boys can hope to be-
come expert rod, reel, or fly makers,
nor with the beautiful and cheap pro-
ducts of skilled labor in the tackle
stores is it necessary that they should.
Bnt the mending of broken or weak
ened rod joint, the replacement of a
missing guide ring, the whipping of a
hook on the smell, and the joining of
the gut by the right knots in leader,
ought to be an accomplishment within
the reach of every young fisherman.
In course of his apprenticeship in
these simple processes, the aspirant
for ''high hookship" should proceed
to the making of a passably good ar
tiicial fiy-which properly considered
is an imitation as close as possible of
the fly or insect on which the trout
and other fish feed with readiness
during the spring and sum mer months
especially, and even TO the middle of
autumn in some localities.-J. Har-
rington Keene, in Recreation for Sep

who were craning their necks to see,
noticed that something was wrong.
The motor slowed down, the propel-
Ter spun less swiftly, and the whole
fabric began to sink toward the
ground. While the people gazed,

saw Santos-Dumont scramble out of
his basket and crawl out on the
framework, while the balloon sway
ed In the air. He calmly knotted
the cord that had parted and crept
back to his place as unconcernedly
as II he were on solid ground.
The earth seemed to be leaping up
toward Santos-Dumont, and destruc
ton stared him in the face. A hand
air pump was provided to fill an
air balloon inside the larger one and
so make up for the compression of
the hydrogen gas caused by the
denser, lower atmosphere. He start
ed this pump, but it proved too
small, and as the gas was compress
ed more and more and the fabbiness
Of the balloon increased the whole
thing became manageable. The
great ship dropped and dropped
through the air, while the aeronaut,
no longer in control of his ship,
but controlled by it, worked at the
pump and threw out ballast in a
vain endeavor to escape the inevi-
table. He was descending directly
over the greensward in the center of
the Longchamps race course when
he caught sight of some boys flying
kites IN the open space. He shouted
to them to take hold of his trailing
guide rope and run with it against
the wind. They understood at once
and as instantly obeyed. The wind
had the same effect on the airship
as it had on a kite when one runs
with it, and the speed of the fall was
checked. Man and airship landed
with thud that smashed everything
but the man. The smart BOYS that
had saved Santos-Dumont's life
helped him pack what was left of
the wrecked airship into its bas-
ket, and a cab took inventor and
invention back to Paris.-From

What He Did Know.

The clustering, browbeating cross
examiner has gone out of fash
ion. 1t is the mild, calm, dignifed,
persuasive, polite examiner who now
succeeds the better, although there
are times, Of course, when little fire
and spirit prove advantageous. An
amusing example of the former
method is given in "Curiosities of
Law and Lawyers" which runs
somewhat as follows:
"Pray, sir, do you know the diff
ference between horse and COW %
shrieked the angry cross examiner,
who was growing impatient at his
nonsuccess. 81 acknowledge my ig-
norance," replied the witness, who
was a clergyman. 81 hardly do

Origin of Condensed Milk.

1t was woman, Mrs. Albert Cash
ingor of New Orleans, who many
years ago invented condensed milk.
Mrs. Cashingor had a sick baby, for
whom she must get expert medical
advice if it was to live. Such advice
could not be got nearer than New
York city, which meant long sea
voyage. How to keep the little
baby alive through that voyage she
did not know. But she had put up
many preserves and many jellies in
her time, and she began to expert
ment on milk and put up lot of
jars of her original condensed milk,
which fed her child through the vow
age. The fact interested several
people in New York, and finally
Mrs. Cashingor gave her process
away to pack of sharp fellows, who
made fortunes out of condensed
milk and never gave her a cent.

A Bottle of Cream.

Cream from famous dairy is sent
to particular patrons in Paris, and it
is known that in one instance at
least a bottle of cream, having fail
ed to reach the person to whom it
was consigned, made the return
transatlantic voyage and was re-
ceived in New York three weeks
after its first departure, perfectly
sweet and good. Throughout the
entire Journey it was kept at freez-
ing temperature by artificial means.
