The Agreeable Woman.

The woman you like to meet, and
who never stays too long when she
comes to see you, and to whom you
reluctantly say good-by, may not be
either rich or beautiful or particularly
brilliant in intellect, but she carries
an unmistakable charm with her
which it might be well you, yourself,
should seek to acquire. She always
says the Good morning" as thought
she particularly meant the good" part
of it, and when she shakes hands with
you she is not satisfied to merely
touch your fingers. When you look
at her face, no matter how dark the
day may be, you instinctively feel that
the sun is shining, and she always in
fuses a feeling Of comfort into the at
mosphere about you, no matter what
was ''in the air" just before she came
in.
No matter how "blue" you felt
while the door was closed between
you, things get rose-colored very
quickly after she steps across the
door-sill, and, somehow, the smell of
spring blossoms, the CLINT of bird.

English and
American Stock

During the past year the writer has
spent the major portion of his time in
studying the leading herds and fiocks
of Great Britain and Continental Eu-
rope, for the purpose of acquiring a
knowledge of the most successful
methods of the breeding and man.
agement of pure-bred stock and the
feeding of animals for meat and milk
production. With all fairness to the
farmers and meat producers of the
best countries in Great Britain and
Continental Europe, in the opinion of
the writer, they are not in any way
superior, if even the equal, of our
very best American farmers, when
it comes to feeding the dairy cow for
the production of milk, or the fatten-
ing animal for pounds Of gain in the
feed lot.
From the stndpoint of the quality
of products produced, we must admit
that some of the most advanced Eu-
ropean countries, in certain special
lines of work, are leading the world
While this is true of meat and milk
production, it is not so true of the
general methods and results obtained
in the breeding of pure-bred livestock,
especially in Great Britain. Long
years ago the British stockmen,
through their most careful and per-
sistent work, won for their country
the proud distinction of being the
worlds central breeding ground Of
pure-bred livestock. Since that time
her breeders have been reaping the
rewards through the expectation OF
their animals, at highly profitable
prices, to the stockmen in all parts
of the civilized world.
AS American people, we have made
unprecedented progress during the
past fifty years. Our people have
been aggressive and have been grad
ually capturing the chief markets Of
the world, until at the present day
the people of the Old World view us
with jealous eye and wonder what
is coming next. In the estimation of
the writer, one of the brightest fields.
one which knows no limit, for our
progressive men, young, or those of
more mature years, to take up. is the
breeding of the very Highest class of
pure-bred livestock.-Prof. w. j. Ken.

The past was more prolific in the
production of giants than the present.
In 1880 one of these giants, who was
exhibited at Rouen, was ten feet high.
and the giant Galabra, brought from
Arabia to Rome in the time of Claud-
JUS Caesar, was the same height. Fan
mum, who lived in the time OF Eu-
gene II, was eleven and one-half feet
in height.
The Chevalier Scrog in his journey
to the Peak Teneriffe found in one of
the caverns of that mountain the head
of giant who had sixty teeth and
who was not less than fifteen feet
high. The giant Faragus, slain by
Orlando. the nephew of Charlemagne,
according to reports, was twenty-eight
feet high. In 1914 near st. Gernad
was found the tomb of the giant Iso-
lent, who was not less than thirty
feet high. In 1890 near Rouen was

MONKEYS AS GAY WAos.

Sense of Humor.


Sense of Humor.
Recently a monkey got the better of
the common enemy, the carrion crow,
by feigning illness. He was fastened
to bamboo pole with a running ring.
When he was on his perch the crows
annoyed him by stealing from his por-
ringer on the ground
One morning they had been special.

and feigned a bad illness. When his
days food was brought the crows de.
scended upon it, and he had scarcely
strength to defend it.
BY good acting he managed to cap.
ture one of the crows. To pluck II
alive was the obvious course. Then,
instead of pulling it to pieces, like the
king monkey whom Kipling and Sir
Edward Buck watched enjoying a sim.
liar triumph in Simla, this monkey
tossed the crow into the air, where
its own companions fell upon it and
killed it.
Monkeys certainly have a sense OF
fun. Darwin used to spend hours
watching young female orang-outang
in the geological gardens, and was
sure that she had the comic sentiment
She delighted to put on her head
like cap, a peculiar shaped bowl
which had droll effect, and she was
sensitive to the effect which her joke
produced upon the spectators.-Lahore

When You Drink Tea.

1.-THE scientific justification for add.
ing milk to tea," says the Dietetic
and HYGIENE Gazette, comes from
the facts that the fannie acid con-
tanned in tea combines with the albu-
men of the milk to form tannate Of al
bumen, which is practically leather.
By drinking tea alone the coating of
the stomach is made leathery. But
when milk, which contains albumen,
is added the molecules Of fannie acid
select their affinity Of albumen from
it, and, as a divorce is unknown to
tannate of albumen, the lining OF the
stomach is less liable to be affected
by the fannie acid than it would bf
If the tea were taken alone"

President Roosevelt was inaugural
ed with great "pomp and circum-
stance" There was spectacular pro-
cession with banners and brass bands.
There were hundreds of thousands of
people to witness the procession and
when, the president took the oath of
Office he looked upon the upturned
faces of a multitude. The newspapers
printed page after page of descrip-
tive articles, later on the weekly pa
pers showed it in pictures and then
the magazines had their say.
In what strange contrast all this
is with the Inauguration of Thomas
Jefferson, just one hundred years ago.
The National Intelligencer, the lead
ing newspaper Of Washington at that
time, gave the following report of
Mr.. Jefferson's inauguration:
"On Monday, after Thomas Jeffer-
son had taken the oath of office as
president of the United States, the
oath of office was likewise admins
tered to George Clinton as vice-presi-
dent of the United States. After the
delivery of the speech the president
was waited on by a large assem-
blage of members of the legislature,
citizens and strangers of distinction,
and a procession was formed at the
navy yard, composed of the several
mechanics engaged, which marched to
military music, displaying with con-
siderable taste the various insignia of
the professions.
