There had been fire in the stove, Mr.. Pen

had been put into the box and a paper spread

The first intimation the occupants of the

when they smeed smoke. Some one hastened
to the kitchen at once and found that the paper
on top of the stove had begun to shoulder. A
further investigation showed that a fire was
burning briskly in the stove.
. In the shower no exceptionally loud clap OF
thunder was heard by those in the house, but
nejghbors remember a sharp flash Of lightning.
The fact that bolt entered the chimney, ignited
the fire and did not disturb the occupants OF the

BUSY INSECT EATERS.
What One Days Hunting Brought to
Brood of Pied Wagtails.

a Brood of Pied WagtaiIs.
A close student Of bird life writes:
Conservation of several species of in
sectivorous birds has shown that the
parent birds will, when their family is
growing up, make between them in the
neighborhood Of 500 visits to the nest
in the course of day, carrying on
each occasion whole beak load Of
gnats or spiders or larvae For the
birds which feed on gnats or other
small life generally take to their youn-
gest not single insects, but a whole
collection at time. On one occasion
I spent an hour in taking the record
of a pied wagtail which had it's brood
Of newly hedged young ones in an old
disused punt that had settled down at
its moorings into the mud at the side
Of the pond During the hour the male
bird alone was looking after the fami-
~ the female amused herself by run
ming about on the bank catching in
sects for her own consumption and
varying the occupation with long spells
Of attention to her toilet. The male
bird, on the other hand, never rested
for one minute from his work of bread
winning. AS his hunting ground was
the open surface of the pond, above
which he fitted, he was never out Of
my sight.
I'm the course Of the hour he made
twenty eight trips, the shortest absence
from the young lasting one and half
minutes and the longest nearly six
| minutes. On no occasion did he remain
at the punt for more than fifteen Sec
| onds or just long enough to turn over
the food collected on the last trip to
! the proper youngSter and be off again.
Myriads Of gnats were dancing above
the water, and at each dip the bird
struck at one, but one could not see
| whether he always caught his quarry
| or not. AS far as it was possible to
guess he always did. On his shortest
absence he made over forty shots, and
from that the number ran up to con-
siderably over 200
''Supposing that he missed his aim
| half the time or afterward dropped or
| swallowed the insects, so that half of
them were wasted and failed to reach
the family at home, there must have
been from 1900 to 1000 gnats brought
back to the punt in the course Of that
one hour. Later in the day both parent
birds We're hawking simultaneously,
each returning methOdically to the
young every two or three minutes.
What the gross consumption of insects
was in the course of the day it is i'm
possible to guess, but, it can hardly
have been less than 10000 or $4,000
and was probably twice as many"

RULES FOR A HOME.

Remember that home begins with
charity.
Remember that open windows make
health epidemic.
If you must worry, take big thing.
The little things will knock you out.
Keep your children, your dogs and
your troubles away from your guests.
The dining room should always be
sacred. That is the one room where no
scraps should be allowed.
Have the same standard of morals
for yourself as for your children. You
need it as much as they do.
There are three standpoints to every
home-your own, your Wifes and the
cooks. Try and forget your own.
Put over the front door for every
member of the family to read, He
who enters here leaves satire behind

ANALYZlNG MILK.
The Process La Neither Difficult NoE
Complicated.

The Process La Neither Difficult Nor
Complicated.
The chemical analysis of milk is not
complicated nor difficult First the
chemist weighs a small dish, cup or
saucer and carefully notes down the
results in ounces, grains and fractions
Of grains Next he pours in some milk
to be analysed and again carefully
notes down the result. By subtracting
the weight of the dish from that Of
both the weight Of the milk is found
and recorded. Next the receptacle is
placed over steam jet, which evapO-
rates the water of the milk, leaving
only the residue or "soIids.'' Again the
dish and it's contents are weighed. and
by a simple calculation the percentage
Of solids is ascertained
The Solids of the milk have been
found by innumerable analyses to
average about - per cent, and while
the fat varies In milk from different
cows the solids left after extracting
the fat are found to be a very constant
quantity, seldom falling below TO- per
cent or over IA. This gives the chem
| list a positive basis for his calculations
and enables him to state with great
| certainty whether or not the milk has
| been watered.
The fat or Oil in milk is determined
by dissolving it by means of ether, the
residue remaining after such test be-
ing termed solids other than fat"
The average fat or Oil found in milk
from COWS is 3 per cent, and any
amount less than 3 per cent indicates
almost to certainty that the milk has
been skinned. If analysis shows Il
decrease of fat it indicates that the
milk has been watered. while if fats
and other solids together are low you
may infer that the skinner has done
its worst.

LAST OF A QUEENS LANDMARK.
House 200 Years Old Seemed Able
to Defy Another Century.


An old farmhouse standing just of
Hill street, in the Blissville section
of Long Island City, which was erect
ed in 100 by Bernardus Van Zandt,
one of the first settlers of the Dutch
possessions on Long Island, was yes
.terday razed.
Van Zandt owned eighty acres Of
land. which he titled for years prior
to 1743, when he sold the farm to
John De Beauvois The frame of the
dwelling, which went with the farm,
was of solid oak timbers which had
been hewn out of logs with an ak.
The timbers were put together with
oak pins. Some nails were found in
the woodwork, and they proved to be
handmade. The floor boards were
very wide and two inches thick, while
the laths were of hickory. Between
the plaster and the outer wall was
yellow clay, mixed with cut straw,
forming firm and solid mixture. The
house was covered with red cedar
shingles, and the men who demol-
ished it said that the building would
have stood for another century.
In one of the rooms on the second
floor of the old dwelling was closet,
and when it was torn out some pa
pers were found back of it. The work
men threw the papers out and resi-
dent of the neighborhood gathered
them up. Among the papers was a
time-worn pamphlet which proved to
be copy of sermon delivered be-

HABITS OF HARES.
Making the Toilet Is Long and
Careful Process.

Careful Process.
A clever observer writes: GA good
many hares find a secure retreat in the
sand hills during the daytime and feed
on the marshes in the morning and
evening. The hour at which most of
them leave the marsh varies, but it is
any time before 8 o'clock. All the
hareS, however, do not return, some
preferring to lie out all day and make
their forms" in any standing clumps
Of grass in the Enclosures 1 found this
out one day while taking shelter among
the fir trees from a downpour of rain.
AS soon as the rain got really heavy [
saw first one and then another hare
appear, as it were,> out of the ground in
the middle of the fields and race for
the shelter of the sand hills.
"On their return to the hills in the
morning many Of them take up their
station on the sunny side Of a fir tree
generally Oh slope, and sit there, Ell
Their among the fir needles or else on
the bare ground or sand, without any
sort of form apparently. They like a
warm, sunny seat, out Of the wind, or,
in wet weather, sheltered from the
rain. Here they sit and sleep, unless
disturbed, until an hour or two past
midday. e..
AT some time between !: 80 and 3
O'clock they wake up and begin their
toilet, which is long and very care
full process. I have seen them roll in
the sand, then get up, shake them
selves and finally lick their bodies all
over, for the most part directly with
their tongues, but those parts of their
bodies which they cannot reach So
face, back of head, ears and nape Of
neck-are dressed by the fore limbs ex-
actly in the same way that a cat does
it.
"These toilet operations often take
half or three-quarters of an hour.
When complete, there is a short time of
rest, then long stretch and a yawn,
fore legs first, then the hind legs;
finally, the whole body is raised into
an arch, after which the animal be-
gins to move off for another feed"

Diphtheria in School Children.

Attention has been called to the
fact that there is an observable in
crease in diphtheria cases among
school children almost Immediately
upon their return to school after the
holidays, and a gradual decrease as
the term advances. This is accounted
for by the fact that during vacations
the drainage is imperfectly attended
to, but with the opening of school
there is abundant flushing Of pipes by
reason of constant use. This theory
is interesting when it is taken into
consideration that a number of vio-
lent outbreaks of this disease have
followed long dry spells An ample
supply of good water, with the free
use Of potash Or good soap, would do
much toward keeping not only diph-
liberia, but many other diseases, in
check. ..... .,.

Little Girl Knew Simple Way Out of

The Hotel Belleclaire houses one OF
those rare anomalies--a woman who
does things contrary to the advice of
her husband. One Of the things to
which that unreasonable man objects
is the occasional touching up of his
wife's hair Notwithstanding his
forcibly expressed opinion on the sub
ject, the rejuvenating process was
undergone one day last week at the
hands Of a professional hairdresser.
Bessie, the four-year-old daughter, was
an interested observer of the opera
ton.
Now, Bessie said her mother,
when the hairdresser had gone, Il
don't want you to say anything to your
father about mamma having had her
hair dressed. Do you understand? II
you don't tell him perhaps he won't
notice it,"
Of course Bessie promised to main
tain discreet silence, which she did
up to 6 O'clock when, meeting her
father at the corner, the secret was
promptly sacrificed on the altar of
filial affection. The man was mad and
lost no time in saying so. After he
got through talking Bessie was inter
