When Adam courted Eve, they say
With certain jests they whiled the

Amid the zephyrs and the flowers.
And Noah would those stories tell
Unto his sons when 1t grew dark,
The gloomy tedium to dispel
Which sometimes settled DER the ark.
And round full many a campfire bright
Those yarns have sent a merry thrill;
They were recited with delight
At Troy and likewise Bunker Hill.

And cons them Ger with guileless glee,
And s~catters them around about
And all is blithe as blithe can be.

Food for the stock.


Those who have tested the use OF
cooked and uncooked foods for stock.
NOR particularly for swine. agree that
the knocked foods are by far the most
d~igestible. This opinion would delight
the vegetarians who urge knocked
fruits and vegetables as being more
wholesome. Yet there are two Sdes TO
the story as usual. There seems to be
no denying the value OF the uneooked
food, with animals at any rate. but we
all know that a quantity OF raw fruits
and vegetables eaten by humans during
the summer Is apt to create a disturb
ance OF the digestive organs. Not al
ways does IT cause q looseness OF the
bowels, but acidity OF the stomach.
which Is very painful. Is 1t not fair TO
assume that II uncooked food has this
effect on the human stomach that 1t
must have some bad effect on the stom-
ach Of the farm animal.
This may be a little far-fetched. but
experience has taught the writer that.
without exception, one warn meal a
day during the winter Is beneficial to
the animals. Even our horses have a
warm bran mash. and it has been we'll
cooked, too. The poultry have the
warm cooked mash and the hot corn
at night every other day. and thrive
on it This being our experience. our
argument Is that animals should have
cooked food occasionally, but that
most of their meals should consist OF
food not cooked

WORTH Her WEIGHT in GOLD.
Value Of Young Woman of Io6 Pounds
Would he $2S,647.

would BE x2S,64T.
The weight OF money Is very de-
ceptive," say an employe OF the sub
treasury to a writer In the New York
Mail and Express. For instance, q
young man came in here one day with
young m l vas showing them
through the department. and happened
to AJAX him Jokingly II he thought the
girl was worth her weight In gold.
He assured me that he certainly did
think so. and after learning that her
weight was 100 pounds we figured that
h would be worth In gold coin S2S,-
647.. The young man was fond enough
OF her to think that was rather cheap.
Another thing that decelves many
people," he continued. lis the weight
Of paper money. Now. how many 81
bills do you think 1t would take to
weigh as much as a IS gold piece?"
On a guess the writer said fifty, and
the clerk laughed.
Il have heard guesses on that" he
said, "all the way from fifty TO 500,
and from men who have handled
AIV4tr lcoAo. lAC AaCl VI liz uluL-
ter is that with a IS gold piece on
one scale you would have to put only
six and one-half bills in the other to
balance it."
The question afterward was put 10
several friends of the writer and
ELECTED answers ranging all the way
from twenty to 1000, the majority
guessing from 200 to 500.
Taking the weights Of gold colns
and bills given at the su~btreasury. 1t
was figured that a SIS gold piece weighs
.296 OF an ounce Of avoirdupois. The
employe Of the treasury who handled
the paper money said that 100 bills
weigh four and a half ounces. That
would make one bill weigh .045 OF an
ounce. and between six and lever bills
would balance the gold piece.
On the proposition OF how much
money n can lift. figures were OBJ
tanned at the ~subtreasury, where GER
tain numbers OF coins were placed
In bags and weighed as standards.
For example. the standard amount for
gold coin Is 5000. which weighs
eighteen and a half pounds. Five hun
dred silver dollars weigh thirty-hve
and a half pounds, while $500 In
or 400 coins. weigh eleven
pounds.
Two hundred pounds OF coin money
OF various kinds Is made up as fol-
Silver dollars, S2.6f7; half dol
lars. 1896; quarter dollars, S3.657;
dimes. SS.615.so; niekels. s917; pennies.
s295.61.
In 81 bills the same weight would
amount to Still.
