why They Have No HINTS.

The boys Of the "bluecoat school" Of
G%ristchurch hospital, England, do not
go 'hatless, as a correspondent init
mates, in order that the hair on their
heads may grow more abundant from
that exposure to the air and elements
Of rain and sunshine.
The reason the boys of this famous
school go without their hats is that one
day a very long time ago the bluecoat
boys were out walking and met Queen
Elizabeth. They neglected to remove
their hats, which so incensed the i'm
perious lady that she had their hats
taken away from them and swore that
they should have hats no more.
It Is a fact that men who attended
that school did not in their later years
become bald.-New York Times.

b Broken wire.

Have you wondered how
when q wire Is broken or damaged be-
tween two distant cities the operator,
sitting in his Office, can tell exactly
where the accident has occurredl.
The explanation is very simple. It
requires force to. send electricity
through a wire. The longer the wire
Is the greater is the force required. This
force is measured, but instead Of call
Ing it pounds, as in measuring the
pressure in a boiler, electricians call
the units of electrical force "ohms."
Suppose a wire between two Offices
Is $50 miles long, and that on a stormy
night 1t gets broken somewhere. The
telegraphist knows that when the wire
was sound it took just 2,100 ohms to
send a current through, or IA ohms
per mile. He now finds that he can
send a current with only 700 ohms.
He divides 700 by IA. and finds that
the break in the wire Is fifty miles
from his end. .

Whi.ker. ana Weather.

Do whiskers grow faster in hot
weather than in cold? The correct an
to this question is, 'AThey do"
BARRIERS say that there is an increase
of about 20 per cent in business dur
ing the extremely hot spells and that
all this Increase comes from the men
who habitually shave every other day
instead Of once a day. Although, hot
weather makes more business for the
chin polishers, they do not particularly
welcome it. Men are always more
irritable and harder to shave. This.
coupled with the increased speed Of
execution makes the whole business
unsatisfactory for both the shaver and
the shavee.-Kansas City Journal.

There is a good story told Of Sir
Chieh Chen 10 Feng Luh, who was
formerly Chinese minister to England.
Years ago he was secretary to Ii Hung
Chang. He IL a very able man, and
among other accomplishments speaks
and writes English perfectly. The
story is given in 1.-THE Navy as 1 Have

III Hung Chang is reported to have
said to him, II don't know how It is
we, send our men to Europe and
America, and have foreign instructors
In u colleges, as do the Japanese,
but we do not seem to derive the ad-
vantage from their instruction which
the Japanese do"

Luxurles Of Rurnl Life.


The rural town is fast becoming a
city In it's general appointments. ac-
commodations, manners and style. and
1t is the means of disseminating the
latest IDEAS and conveniences among
surrounding farms. Through invest
ments and improvements the country
Is getting nearer to the city, nearer to
the myriad advantages Of comfort
which human Ingenuity Is devising.
The present is an era of luxury. Ev-
cry urban home has the investiture of
a palace in a former period-in fact, 1t
offers, with the common exception Of
size and yard area, more and better
facilities for easy living. Every coun-
try home is comparatively as well fur
nished. Almost all the comfort which
is found in the city home can be in
stalled and enjoyed In the most isolat-
ed farmhouses lying in an out of the
way locality.-St. Louis Republic.

TURNER TELLS OF THE BIG
CROP IN NORTH DA-
KOTA..
St: Paul, Aug. 14.-"North Da-
kota will have the biggest grain
crop this year in the history of the
state" said R. ]. Turner, former
commissioner of agriculture OF
North Dakota, who was at the
Merchants hotel yesterday.
From 100000 to 5o,ooo,ooc
bushels of wheat is considered q
big crop for North Dakota, but
this year the yield ought to reach
8o,ooo,ooo. The flax output will.
probably reach 100000. Bar.
|l,y, oats and rye are equally good,
and indications are that farmers,
business men and the people gen
orally r about to enjoy a period
of great prosperity.
"Rust has done practically nc
damage in North Dakota. There
was some red rust is some parts
of the state, but it was only on
the leaves and did not affect the
the kernel.
THAT part of North Dakota
which is west of the Missouri
river, and which a few years age
was considered. semi-arid, will
have the biggest crop this year in
= the history of the state. l know
one farmer who has 200 acres OF
macaroni wheat, and it is running
about 50 bushels to the acre.
This is in that section of North
Dakota in which people used to
think nothing would grow.
"The acreage of wheat and
most ,other grains is larger this
year than in the past. This &C.
counts III a measure for the large
yield, but the production per acre
is unusually large"
