English House Gardens.

American children learn that Lon.
don is center of trade with a dense
population, and they grow up with the
idea that 1t is mart perpetually over
hung with fog and smoke, says the
London Telegraph. To have a private
residence in New York city is lux.
ury possible only to the rich, and none
but a multimillionaire could live In
house with a garden.
When the American girl, therefore,
went to have tea with some friends in
moderate circumstances, she was as
tonished to find them living in a large
house with little garden in front and
a spacious one In the rear. Tea was
served in the garden.
Her mind reverted to a suburban
house at home that had about as
much land as this English one. The
back yard" was used as a drying
place for clothes. The front yard was
q smoothly clipped, flower-bedded
lawn kept for show, so open to the
street that it was OF no use to the
family.
mo, it is not like home" said the
American girl wondering If everything
In London had garden or a terrace
or park.

Faithful Fellow.

Like a great many more people. Mr..
Dogberry was feeling the disastrous
result of slackness in trade, and it was
plain that the staff would have to be
cut down. He did not like parting
with Tim Dooley, for the man had
been with him for a great number Of
years; yet he was the one who could
best be spared, and, indeed, for some
time MS situation had been little less
than a sinecure. AS gently as he could
he broke the news to Tim, and the old
man received it as one who could
hardly believe that he heard Alright.
Then he recovered himself, and in
the manner of the dear old servant Of
melodrama, who, when things are at
their worst, comes to the rescue with
the proceeds of years of faithful steal
ing his masters wine and cigars, he
burst out:
"Mr. Dogberry, sure l worked for We

meself that will work for We now we've

Where Marston Law Was Good.

In Exeter, Mass. acquaintances OF
Gen. Gilman Marston say nothing
ever amused him more than the fol-
lowing:
A favorite niece living in the ad-
joining town of Brentwood bought a
horse which, not coming up to re-
quirements, she promptly took back
and left in the sellers barn. Next day
she found the horse back In her barn.
Twice more she left it and twice was
it returned
Then she called on the general. He
told her to notify the owner that il
there was any more trespassing in
her barn he would be fined $40, and to
tell him that Gilman Marston said
so, and not bring that ID horse back
again.
The niece promptly tackled up on
her barn the following notice: "Any
trespassing in this barn by man or
beast will be fined $10-by Gilman
Marston." The horse did not come

Shattered Vanity.

The prominent man Who is spend

little town is awakened late at night
by the hotel clerk.
Thinking that there is a telegram
for him he opens his door to step into
lighted hallway where there is a
crowd of people.
Hastily returning to his room he
shuts the door, and after the clatter
of descending footsteps tells him that
the crowd has left he summons the
clerk to him.
What did you mean by permitting
me to appear before all those people
in my night attire?" he asks.
"Well, you see, sir, they all wanted
to see you, and they didn't have any
other chance, SO / let them slip up
stairs and then knocked at your door,"
"But should have been glad to
have met them at any time that was
convenient" says the great man, his
ire subdued to a great extent at the
thought of how his fame had perme.

Government statistics record 49,
100000 mich cows in the United
States. The milk of 100000 of
these cows is made into butter, the
average amount of which per cow
annually is $50 pounds. The milk
of less than 100000 cows is made
into cheese, the average amount of
which is $50 pounds per annum.
Cheese sells for IS cents a pound
and butter at 20 cents. The butter
cow will earn for her owner $1,000
a year, the cheese cow 5000.
Yet ten times as many cows are
used in the butter as in the cheese
industry.

Puffs OF an Enuine.

The train was starting. The puffs
of the locomotive, at first slow, grew
faster and faster, and finally seemed
to cease in the roar of the train.
ut is the emission of the waste
steam through the chimney that
causes the locomotives putting, cough
ing sound" said an engineer. GAS
the trains speed increases, the puffs
increase in rapidity, and when ten
a second are emitted the ear can't
distinguish them separately any
longer-it hears them as a continuous
roar.
"a good many people, on this ac-
count, think a locomotive only puffs
at starting. Really, she puffs all the
time, only the puffs are too rapid to
be recognizable. A train going
mile minute gives twenty puffs per
second"

The New Stallion Law.

In answer to numerous inquiries
it should be known that the new
stallion law Chapter 116, laws of
1909 is in force and there is pen
atty of $50 for each failure to COM
ply with its provisions.
From now on all posters and 9TH
er advertising matters relating to a
stallion used for public service must
show plainly complete and exact
copy Of license certificate provided
for by the law and issued by the
Department of Horse Breeding of
the College of Agriculture, and also
show the exact breeding of the horse
whether Pure-Bred, Cross Bred
or Grade. This information must
be posted by the stallion owner IN a
conspicuous place where the stallion
is kept so that the owner of mares
may readily learn the exact breed
ing of the horse he purposes using.
Full particulars relative to the
law will be found in Bulletin 1871,
which may be obtained by writing
to A. S. Alexander, In Charge De-
partment of Horse Breeding, Col
lege of Agriculture, Madison, Wis.

Dividing Up the Honeymoon.

Charles FELTON, Pidgin, the statisti-
clan of Massachusetts, is studying the
question of race suicide.
at is WONDER" Mr.. Pidgin said the
other day, that we hear nothing of
race suicide in Scotland. The Scotch
are prosaic people. The French, on
the other hand, are as romantic as a
poet. Yet it is the French and not
the Scotch who are permitting the race
to die out. The opposite is what we
might expect. For the Scotch find
little Of glamor, even in the honey
moon. I knew in Roxbury when I
lived there a Scotch tobacconist who
got married. Meeting him few days
after the wedding l said: Why, Don
aid, l thought you were away on your
honeymoon
"'Well, so we are,' the simple young
fellow answered. Mary Is down at
Cousin Tam's for a week, and I'm
goin' to take week when she comes
back"

Former Governor La Toilette
was sworn in as United States Sen
ator last week, Thursday. He was
escorted to the desk of Weep resi-
dent Fairbanks by his colleague,
Senator John c. Spooner, who
showed the utmost courtesy to our
Junior Senator on the occasion as
everybody but the sensational news
mongers knew he would. 1t was
absurd to suppose that such sensible
men as John C. Spooner and Rob
ert M. La Toilette would make
fools of themselves in the Senate

view that the colored races are es.

a Fine Collection.

At time when the art of enameling
is being taken up by many talented
women artists, it is interesting to
know that the Queen of England has
a collection which bids fair to rival
that of the czarina, which is said to
be exceptionally fine. 1t is Queen
Alexandra who has had much to do
with arousing the popular fancy for
fine enameled jewelry for not only
does she wear great deal of it her
self, but she also gives many speci-
mems as gifts to her friends.
Her majesty's niece, the Princess
Louise Augusta of Schleswig-H olstein.

of enamels, and designs all her own

Are Japanese the Lost Tribes?

Are the Japanese the lost ten tribes
of Israel? The Jewish World revives
this old theory, remarking that it was
probably inevitable that they should
be sought in the Japanese in view of
the fact that the tnYuseums of Japan
contain numerous engravings purport-
ing to show the landing of Jews in
Nippon. One of the pictures cited is
said to show procession in which
the ark is discernible and in which
the priests wear hats of biblical pat
tern. Another depicts Solomon in the
act of receiving gifts from the queen
of Sheba, while-and this is regarded
as the most conclusive of all-the
founder of Japan's dynasty Of 126 en-
perors bore the same name (Osea) as
the last king of Israel (Hoshea), his
contemporary.

oud Happenings to SINGER.

the other evening that she was billed
to sing at the Maine Musical Festi.

what puzzled and expectant, but few
were indignant, and voiced their indig-
nation through an old lady, who called
upon Mr.. Chapman, the manager, to
protest against the appearance of
negro vocalist among ladies and gen.
tlemen.

Broadway car from Carnegie hall with
music amateur, he said to her: 1.-THE
soprano part runs to high G in the

the Aged Poor.
Concerning the life of poor people
during the middle ages writer says:
"Tn those bygone days of feudal rule,
the jewellers in the country were al
most invariably serfs, bound to the
estate on which they were born, and
under tie absolute rule of the owner.
They we're possibly better fed than at
the present day, for butter, cheese
and eggs were plentiful; and the fertile
soil of Italy supplied them with abund-
ance of fruit and vegetables. In
poor mans garden we find strawber-
ries, raspberries, cherries;. and he
grows leeks, onions. peas, beans, spin
ach, beetroot, turnips, carrots, rhubarb
and fennel; while he esteems the use
OF nettles, and boils violet leaves like
spinach. He holds his plot of ground
bys the tenure of so many days in the
of service to his lord. But in sickness
or old age his case is pitiable indeed,
and we have a curious proof of this in
a letter written in 1855 by the mother
of Filippo Strozzi, at Florence. She
is speaking of some old people on her
estate in the country: 'Piero and
Norma ella are both alive and infirm.
I have overfiowed the field for next
year, and as l must put it in order.
these two old people, if they do not
die, must go and beg. Heaven Will
provide This is no passing thought
of the good lady, who was pious and
highly esteemed-a friend of the Med
lei; but it is a firm resolution in her
own mind A few months later she
writes to her son: 'Piero is still alive,
so he must put up with it and go away
and beg. It would be best, of course,
if heaven would take him. Apparent
ly merciful Providence had already
provided for Norma Cilia!"
