THE APRIL FOOL.


OF all the schoolmasters Of the nine
teenth century, says the author of "Six
Great Schoolmasters," Doctor Kennedy,
head master Of Shrewsbury, England,
1886 to 1866, was in many respects the
most remarkable. One of the most
striking of his characteristics was his
remarkable memory.
Few members OF the United Service
could have We'd with him in familiarity
with naval and military annals. In
Wellington's dispatches he was as
much at home as in 1nucydides.
He once met the late Commander
Maynard at the house of his brotner-in-
law, Mr.. How, when the conversation
ment In the details of which the COM
mander considered himself well post
ed. What was his surprise to find that
the schoolmaster not only knew the
name of every ship engaged, but their
exact positions during the fight, and
was in every way better Informed on
the subject than he was himself.
Another instance Of Kennedy's &C.
curate store Of knowledge occurred
when a certain boy, who had to show
I'D an original copy Of verses, was so
hard put to 1t that he searched out a
certain rare and obscure classic, copied
ont a dozen or SO lines, and sent them
ND to the doctor as his own. "Ah, yes, T"
said Kennedy, beautiful verses. And
If 7 remember right, they go on thus, =
and he proceeded to quote the rest OF
the piece"
An amusing aneeGote is told of his
kindly humor and readiness to forgive.
On the first of April a mischievous boy
had nut the clock forward and caused
the bell for morning chapel to be rung
an ho11r too soon. The delinquent was
discovered, and much alarmed by an
invitation to call on the doctor little
before noon, at the usual place OF exc
cution.
Swish! But, strange TO say, the cul
nri+ was untouched. Swish! as be-.
fore The boy was still trembling for

lords $50 away, you April fool"

Deterioration of Babies.

John Burns, the well known English
labor agitator, has just given a pro-
nouncement on low birth rates and
infantile mortality According to the
way the Pail Mall Gazette of London
interprets his words he does not de-
sire that "desolating flood of babies"
which some alarmed sociologists re-
gard as the true sign Of virility in a
race. He prefers quality to quantity,
in this as in some other popular phe-
nomena mot the greatest progeny,
but marriage, is the virtue, and the
mischief most to be deplored is that,
as a London hospital surgeon said
lately, $50 to 95 per cent. of the poor
babies born were sound, strong,
healthy young rascals, but they either
went to the bad in the first six
months through wrong or insufficient
feeding, or died within a year. 1t is
true, no doubt, that a mans reforma-
ton must begin with his grandmother
to be quite satisfactory; but that is
consideration which applies in the
main to the other or 10 per cent.
of babies only. The grandmothers or
what ought to be a healthy second
generation proceeding from the rest
are very much in need of reform in
the present year of grace. We could
do with low birth rate if it were
quite the effect of wise and healthy
Motherhood.

Russian Proverbs.

When the priest sits down to read
mass the people lie down to hear it.
When the thunder ceases the peas
ant forgets to cross himself.
A man needs only not to be a
cripple or a hunchback to be account
ed a handsome fellow by the women.
Even an old man can win woman S
love and keep it, if he isn't jealous.
When a woman goes to heaven she
wants to take her COW with her.
Over the woman from afar the
devil pours honey.
When the devil cannot arrive in
time he sends a woman on before him.
Praise your wife, not three days
after the wedding, but three years
after lift you can.
All Christendom fasts in Lent ex-
cept the dogs and the noblemen.
Poverty is not a sin, but it is the
cause of many.
At home a man is judged by his
dress; abroad, by his wit.
Fellow travellers and fellowgam-
blers soon know each other well.
A lie told cleverly may be truer
than the truth told foolishly.
Misfortune comes by the hundred
weight and goes by the ounce.
Him whom God chastens men for

At him whom all men SANDER all dogs
will bark.

Tommy's Acts of Kindness.

Governor Folk of Missouri, was
talking about reform.
I'VE all believe in it," he said, but
we want to see it brought about at
other folks expense. We are like,
too like, certain Kansas City boy.
This boys mother said to him on
her return from a long days shopping
in the Thanksgiving season:
Now, hope my little Tommy has
taken to heart mammals talk of last
night about charity and unselfishness.
Since he has few troubles of his own,
| hope he has thought of others
troubles all day long. Since he has
many causes for thanksgiving himself,
hope he mas tried to give cause for
thanksgiving to others. What is my
Tomny's report for the day? How
many acts of kindness has he done?
How much woe has he lightened?
How many hearts has 1ny Tommy
made grateful and glad?'
In this way spoke the good young
mother. And her Tommy replied:

Cause of Bitter Milk.

Bitter milk is one of the most an
noying ills with which a dairyman can
be afflicted. Bitterness sometimes de-
velops in the best kept dairies, while
the most slovenly will be immune. It's
cause is an organism resembling the
ordinary yeast; in fact, it is yeast.
1t is originally found on the leaves of
trees, just as the yeast organism is
found on hops, but is easily transmit
ted to milk cows or the stable dust.
When once these yeast organisms gain
admittance to milk they find condi-
and proceed to reproduce themselves,
hence the bitter taste in milk, cream
and butter. To remove the source OF
infection is no small task, for In all
the crevices Of every can in which
milk has been kept there will be found
sufficient of the yeast to carry on In
lection. 1t is, therefore, necessary TO
thoroughly clean, scald, and scrape the
seams Of every vessel in which milk
has been kept, then carefully white
wash the milkhouse cellar or pantry.
and this should prevent further devel-
opment in the house. At the same
time sweep down the walls and ceiling
of the stables and give all the inside
a thorough coat Of whitewash or a
spraying with some disinfectant, such
as bichloride OF mercury, 1 to 1000
parts Of water.

DON'T Keep Too Many Pigs.

DON'T Keep roo many
1t is a mistake to oyerstock your
place with pigs or any other animals.
Too many farmers in attempting to
make money by increasing the number
of animals do so at the expense of
quality. An overstocked farm is not
a profitable one A farm that is over
stocked is one that has more animals
of any character than can be properly
cared for or kept in good, thrifty,
growing condition. Wherever the
numbers interfere with the growth or
with the attention that should be given
them it is overstocked. If the pas
lures are too small for them or too
short, necessitating the purchase
of feed the profits are cut with two
edged sword, first because Of purchas-
ing feed. second because of the injury
to the thrift and growth of the ami
mails. More money can be made with
half the animals properly fed and
cared for and kept in a thrifty, grow
ing condition. Every pig or other ami
NAL should have chance, and If they
are crowded it is impossible to give
them a good show. Numbers some
times are the sole cause of losses in
stead of profits. A great many begin
ners make the fatal mistake Of over
stocking.-American Swineherd.
