Efsh Swallow Sand.

Captains of fishing smacks In the
North sea have found that Goldfish at
certain times of the year take sand In
to their stomachs as ballast" This, 1t
would appear, is done when the fish
are about to migrate from the shallow
water covering the southern banks or
the North sea to the deeper water far
Their north. 1t has been observed that
fish caught on the southern banks just
before the migration begins and those
caught in the northern waters after It
Is completed have sand in their stom-
achs and that the sand is discharged
after the arrival Of the fish at tho
southern banks on the return migra-
ton. In proof Of this it is stated that
the sand found in the fish often differs
In color and quality from that OF the
bottom where they are caught.-Wash'
ington Post.

Today,s Troubles.

It Is always worth while to see the
bright side Of things. We mostly have
a desire to grieve over split milk, and
that we start the habit In early child
hood is clear from the number OF max
inns that combined wisdom and COM
fort Of the nursery have produced.
"What can't be cured must be endur-
ed" however incontrovertible 1t may
be, is somewhat Spartan In its applica-
ton, and the admonitiOn not to make
mountains out of molehills" is far less
easy to practice than to preach. Hard
ly cheerful on the face Of 1t is the
encouraging motto, "Neyer mind; 1t
will be all the same hundred years
from now," but for all that 1T contains
a germ Of true philosophy. We should
be halfway toward equanimity II we
could only realize how trivial and
how trans.tory are many of the things
we worry over. Real mlsfortunes
must be borne with, but many trifing
ones are of our own manufacture, and
even tomorrow the things which vex
"a today In NIL probability will have
ceased to he of account.

Spray Early FLOR San Jose Scale

Since it has come to be recogniz.
ed that orchards infested with San
Jase Scale can be protected from
injury by proper treatment, and
that they must be treated or they
will become worthless or even
worse than worthless, from the
fact that the insects will spread to
other orchards in the vicinity, the
next most important consideration
is. how cen treatment be applied in
the easiest and most economical
way?
The lime sulphur wash is now
generally recognized as the stand
ard remedy and though it may be
a triAe more effective if applied
very late in the spring, our expert
ments with it during the past two
years indicate tlat,fall and winter
applications are also quite ff'r'lvrv
The weather at this Time is often
quite we'll suited to spray opera
tions, while the few weeks OF good
weather available for this and 9TH
rr work in The late spring is not
likely to prove sufficient to com.
plete it. Theresore, fruit growers
will likely find the fall and winter
applications more satisfactory. We
strongly recommend that this wash
be applied as soon as possible after
November /.
Select only the best lime. 1t
should be as free from magnesia
and other impurities as possible,and
should be used while it is fresh.
Chemical study of the wash and
the ingredients from which it is
made indicates that much Of the
sulphur will be lest If one attempts
to use impure or mir slaked lime to
prepare it,.
These tests are discussed in Cir
cular No. /, New Series, just issued

WEARING APPAREL.
rho Tunic, the TOga and the Leather
Dress of the Ancients.

rho Tunic, the Toga and the Leather
Dress of the Ancients.
Ancient wearing apparel was not cut
to fit. as is our modern clothing. Hav'
ing no definite shape Of its own, 1t did
not disguise the wearer's figure, ana
the grace and beauty Of Greek drapery
are dependent almost entirely on the
perfect proportions Of the figure be-
meath. The tunic worn by both Greeks
and Romans was little, If at all, fitted
to the wearer and when ,ungirded
hung in folds all round, while the toga
was little more than sheet and was
worn in all sorts Of ways, according TO
the prevailing fashion. The Jews OF
old seem to have worn breeches, bus
the rest of their clothing seems to
have been simply wrapped round them.
for It was difficult for them to run or
even walk fast without first "girdin0
I'D their loins." The clothing OF the
northern races was probably always
more Of q fit than that Of the southern,
for they used leather, which does NOS
lend itself to simple draping, but our
ancestors probably wore an almost
shapeless tunic belted at the waist.
Another striking difference Is FOUND
In the gradual monopoly by women OF
the ornamental element in dress. Once
masculine dress was by far the most
splendid, and woman, holding an abso-
!ately subordinate social position, hao
to content herself with humber attire.
As she has won her way to freedom
and equality she has annexed not only
the beautiful, but the extravagant ele-
ments Of costume and left man to con-
tent himself with a condition Of color
less utility.
