SHOPPING

Dorothy is the only little girl moth
err has and mother is the only care
taker Dorothy has; SO where mother
goes. Dorothy goes, too. Squirrels in
the park. eating nuts from ones hand,
are delightful, and SO is sandy beach
where wavelets play tag with little
bare feet. Why, when there are parks
and beaches, should mother ever
choose to go shopping in great
wearisome store?
Mother understands that little. girls
are not shoppers, and she always pro-
vides compensation" That is what
she names 1T; Dorothy calls it
"pepmints." She carries, too, light
folding camp-stool, just the right
height for small girl. on which Doro-
thy can sit whenever she is tired, and
rest the little aching legs.
One morning mother had to buy
many articles and match others,
which takes time. Passers.by smil-

Grit for Young ch,ck..


There is 10 question as to the time
the chicks should be given grit, for 1t
ought to be where they can get at 1t
the minute they begin to eat. While
almost any material which will fur
nish sharp bits will do for grit, we
consider, after years of experimenting,
that ground phosphate rock and glass
sand supplies Just the sort OF grit
best suited to chicks. Our plan is to
make the floor of this combination ma
terial having 1t an inch or more deep
and changing it once week. Some
times the small grain is sprinkled
through this floor material and the
chicks have fine time scratching.
As the chicks get older so that the
sand is likely to be fouled too greatly,
the combination material Ia placed in
regulation grit box where the chicks
will be tempted to use 1t. Literally
supplied with grit the chicks take on
stronger growth than when 1t IL
given to them in haphazard way or
left out entirely until they are quar-
ter grown,

Men that were raised on New Eng
land farms have memories Of great fat
hogs that for months before slaughter
were unable to stand on their hind
legs. The writer has seen hogs that
weighed almost GOO pounds that before
slaughter had to move around on their
launches as on pivot, says an East
ern hog man In an exchange. They
ate and slept in the same place, turn
ing one way to eat and the other to
sleep. Their owners thought 1t moth
Ing unusual, they only said: THE hog
has become SO fat he can't stand up"
Yet with more light on the situation
we know that 1t was not case of fat
ness only. but case OF the constantly
feeding Of corn and slop. out Of which
the animal could not manufacture an
bone or muscle that would sustain lAs
weight. In those days the. food Of
such hogs was corn as largely as 1t 10
now. Had those animals received q
ration composed Of ground oats, skim
milk and such nitrogen-supplying
foods they would have had a bone
and-muscle that would have carried
about any weight. The same results
come from the same causes now, bu. It
is not SO apparent, as the hogs are
marketed at half the weight they were
in the days mentioned. No man should
feed corn diet exclusively to his
hogs.

sshool Days.
or to schoo.

OF to school,
With a merry laugh!
While the spirit beams
With Its youthful dreams,
And the eye is bright
AS a star at night.
And the cheek is red
AS a red rose bed,
And their glowing health
Is world OF wealth
AS they romp and sing
And shout and ring
The changes down
On the quiet town,
Till all doth share
The gladness there
or the boys and girls
When the day is fair.
In at school
And a solemn look!
For the joy is gone
And the troubles on.
When the puzzled face
In its wonted place
Is brooding DER
Its tragic lore.
And they peg away
The livelong day
Till the brain is dull
In the ihrobbing skull
And the souls arack
With a breaking back
At the weary task
That the masters ask,
But they have from me
My sympathy.
When the day is gray.
Out of school
With a heaye and sigh!
But the face of youth
Is stamped with truth.
For the way of a book
Gives a placid look
And a quiet mien
In the soul is seen.
And the work begun
Is never done:
But the childish sorrow
Knows no tomorrow.
And the youthful sigh
Shall soon pass by!
So my heart is sad
And my heart is glad
For the boys and girls
When the day is sped.

MINING IN SIAM

of mines and geology, Bangkok,
 throws an interesting light on min ing in Siam. The industry is under the control of this department, which was created in 1890, and is under the Siam mining act of 1891, which is along the lines of the mining acts of other British provinces. It provides for prospectors and miners licences, and mining leases somewhat after the laws of our neigh boring province of Briti:h Columbia.
 The principal minerals mined in Siam are gold, tin and gems, the latter being sapphires and rubies. In addition cop per, lead, tin, coal, petroleum and salt peter are also important items. This report says of gold and silver in Siam:
 Gold is very widely distributed in Siam, and is washed out oi the alluvi- um by the natives in several districts. The chief sf these Pu Kirin, Bantapan, Row Suplu and Tomoh. In the latter districts Chinese carry on lode mining as well as alluvial. The native gold mining industry is, however, a very un- important one, the total number of persons regularly employed probably not exceeding 1000.
 ''Sapphires and rubies are the only gems the working of which are of any importance, though spinels, zircons, garnets and topaz are also produced to small extent. Of the two forms of corundum, sapphires are very much more abundant, and more largely work ed than rubies. Siamese sapphires form a considerable proportion of the worlds supply of this gem. Statistics, however, are not available, as there is no duty on the stones, and the work is carried on by numerous small parties of men, and even by individuals, who dis, pose of their findings to number of travelling traders. Siamese rubies do not command good price, as those of good color are mostly very small, and those of good size are of poor color. It ls believed that any really good stones Wnich are found are sent overland to Bufnah. and sold as Burmese rubies. As regards statistics, the same remarks apply as have already been made about A Asappulles. -pvsT-INTELLIGENCER.
