that by the use of oil saving over

made. This saving will materially

Bodies Twined in Death Grip.

PARIS, October 29.-The French sub
marine boat Lutin, which sank near Bizerts
on October 16, and which was subsequently
raised, has been towed to the Ferryville
dock, Tunis.
Sixteen bodies have been taken out of the
vessel. Some Of them were much decom-
posed.
In the fore compartment was found the
body of the commander, Lieutenant Phoe.
pom. His scalp had been torn off. A
petty officer had his arms around the com
mander's waist holding him in death grip.
A midshipman similarly clasped another
officer, while sailor chung to the midship-
mans feet. In the rear compartment six
men were found linked SO tightly together
that is was very difficult to separate them.
Other bodies were found in the extreme for.
ward compartment.
The opinion prevails that the Lutin tried
to come to the surface too rapidly and thai
her stern consequently struck on the bottom
This caused rivets to start and plates tc
burst. Six leaks were found in the hull,
each of them large enough to admit stream
of water two inches in diameter.

Don't Undertake Too Much.

Now, I will give piece of advice | do
not look for you to follow. have not
yet been able to follow it myself. But
let us "try, try, again. as the little old
song says We should not undertake
more than the labor at our command will
justify. 1t pays better to do we'll what
we undertake than to undertake what we
can only half do. And being overcrowded
may make farm life burdensome where it
might be happy occupation. Particu-
larly, better not have too many of what |
may call side shows. You must have
some truck, some fruit, some poultry, but
beware of charging in such things till your
attention is diverted too much from your
general farm work. Leave specializing to
others, unless you choose to make general
farming a secondary matter. And then [
predict that if your speciality pays you well,
your general farming will pay you poorly
in proportion. As we'll give up general
farming if you are not going to give it the
attention and time it really needs. If
you can have other things on hand that
will not hinder you in general farming,
well and good. They may be made helps.
Indeed, they may be diversions and rest
full to mind or body, or. both In this way
they may be contributors both to your
profit and pleasure.
