A Question of Temperature.

The late Judge Mesick was very
fond of tobasco sauce, and in travelling
around the primitive towns of Nevada
he carried his private bottle with him.
He was in a restaurant one day with
his private bottle of tobasco ~ front
of him when a stranger came along
and sat down in the adjoining seat.
He ordered steak and when it was
placed in front of him he appropriated
the judges bottle and emptied half the
contents over the steak The Judge
quietly drew his bowie knife. which
he concealed under his napkin, ready
for any emergency. In another mo-
ment the stranger went out on the
curb coughing like a volcano. It took
him fifteen minutes to get himself or
ganized. Then he made his way back
into the restaurant
Say. stranger" he said, addressing
the judge, IF that pessy stuff fits

COMMO ON SENSE.

A large Minneapolis manufacturing
concern, The Pillsbury Co., are ems
ploying a unique method in adyertis-
ing their product, "Pillsbury's Vitos,
The Meat of the Wheat" in appealing
TO the Common Sense" of the Amer
lean public.
Their assertions are modest as com
pared to most of the cereal food ad-
vertisements Of the last few years,
but they carry a ring of truth. Their
reasoning is certainly rational; here
is some of it.
I'VE all believe that Wheat is the
best cereal the Creator has given man
kind.
Pillsbury's Vitos is nothing more,
nor less than the white heart of this
wheat kernel, cut out by steel ma
chinery and Notwithstanding add
sd--nothing taken away.-no adulter-
ation-no fiavoring-no coloring-no
cooking.
This product comes to your table
in its pure, white, granular form, an
appetizing dish for young and old.
Easily digested because it retains
its granular form when cooked, never
lumpy or pasty.
A two pound package makes twelve
pounds of pure white cooked food, and
Piilsbury quality too. Two generous
dishes for one cent.
We have no competitors because
we are the largest millers in the
world and get the best wheat. Your
groc will gladly fiji your order for

he sells you satisfaction. Vitos is put

grind corn into flour in the wretched
little hand mills of stone. When the
windmill came into being the duty
was shifted from woman to man, and
man became a miller, and the wind
did the work and whirled the great
stones around, while the miller sim
ply guided his sails to the wind,
poured in the corn and collected the
flour.
So far as modern windmills are con-
cerned they are entirely used to pump
water, and while they add nothing that
makes for beauty in the landscape,
they have been responsible for max
ing a garden out of the desert spots in
this country. While the picturesque
old windmills in old England are fast
disappearing. the new style windmill
becomes more and more numerous
here, in spite OF the fact that this is
the age of electricity and the times
are those in which stupendous tasks
are lightly undertaken.

Typhoid fever is sometimes called nsr

MlLkMAIDs SING AT WORK.
Music Proved to Have Good Effect on
Field of Milk.

Field of Milk.
Dairy farming approaches nearest
to perfection in Switzerland, and there
the milk maid with the sweetest voice
commands the highest salary.
The relationship between good sing
ing and good dairy work was proved
several years ago at a farmers con
gress at Interlaken.
At Interlaken, in milking contest
three days long, the same cows. milk
ed in silence, yielded 200 quarts of
milk; MIXED by maids with fair
voices, they yielded 220 quarts; MIXED
by maids with beautiful voices, they
yielded 240 quarts.
This proof of fact that had long
been suspected set premium on the
milkmaids who could sing we'll. They
who could not sing well took up at
once the study of vocalization, and
hence it is that Switzerland has SO
many singing schools.
Milking time in the little mountain
republic is easily remarked by the
tourist on account of the enormous
volume of song that then scars up.
Silent milking, in the eyes Of the
frugal Swiss farmer, is almost crime
and the dairy maid, who milks in ST.
lence, is certain to be discharged.
Swiss maids who apply for places in
diaries are examined as strictly in
singing as in milking and butter-mak-
ing.

The Icelanders have a strange but

two gentlemen happen to be riding

Experiments with Carrier Pigeons

the summit line OF evolution. their
ability TO fly gives them advantages
over nearly all the msmmalia. Their
mysterious power of changing their

In water or fly, has been often dis
cussed. and the almost incredible We
iocity Of their motion when migrating,
sometimes amounting TO four miles a
minute for vast distances, has no par
allel among other animals.
A series OF careful trials with car
rier pigeons shows apparently without
doubt their possession of highly de-
veloped sense Of direction. In twenty
minutes the first bird, dispatched at
10 p. M, reached Its roost, a distance
OF seventeen miles being traversed.
Half OF the number arrived before
midnight and the remainder followed
