A Rank for Women.

A novel feature of the night and day
bank of New York is the organization
of a separate and distinct bank exclusive
ly for women. 1t is not to be merely a
separate room for the reception of women
depostors, but entirely a different insti-
tuition, although under the same director
ship as the night and day bank. 1t was
the idea of a woman employed by the
bank. She reported that the majority of
women depositors were annoyed by the
delay and that they objected to standing
in line with men. The same was true
when it came to taking out their money.
They acted on inspiration, and were
afraid of a change in their minds if any
thing delayed them. The women's bank
is to be furnished deliberately, the floors
softened with rugs and the walls draped
with tapestries, but, strange to say, the
teller is not to be a woman, 1t requires
a man to properly impress the women GUS
toners. There is to be a dressing room
in the safety vault, where women may
get their jewels before going out at night.
The bank will be open until I o'clock in
the evening.

BEAVER FARM NO OILERS, HOME.
Furry Colonists Drive on Those Who
VIII Nnf Work.

Furry Colonists Drive on Those Who
VIII Not Work.
On the farm of the Rev. w. E. Chris
lists one of the few beaver farms of
Canada. says a New York Post writer
at Oxbow, Sask. Within the limits of
the farm are five large dams, peopled
by some 200 beavers. The banks of
the Souris river, which runs through
the farm, are fringed with poplar trees,
supplying the beaver with the best of
building mateial and also with his
rdaily bread. According to law pass
ed in 1896, it is Illegal to kill beavers
until the fall of 1908. consequently this
colony is waxing strong and multi
plying very rapidly. Having been pro-
tected from the trappers for the past
ten years, they are becoming very tame
locker, although they do most of their
work by moonlight. One night these
beavers cut down fifty-two trees, ac-
cording to the Rev. Mr.. Christmas, who
takes great deal Of interest in his
little tenants and watches carefully to
see no harm comes to them.
These beavers are very industrious.
and have no use for one of their num-
Der who refuses to do his share of the
work. When such a member of the
flock is noticed the others drive him
away to live in solitude, and when such
beaver is found by a trapper they
are known as bachelors. 1t takes the
beavers but short time to fell a large
sized tree, and they are able to throw
it in any direction desired. When once
felled the tree is quickly cut UP into
lengths for houses, dams, or food, as
may be required. The house of the
beaver is built on the bank OF the
river, with its entrance under water.
Once having built the entrance the
rest of the house is started, the whole
colony working at the house until it
is finished and when completed it is
warm, dry and coZy. Although 1t is
impossible for beavers to live for long
under water, the entrance is built for
some distance under the water, and
then there is long tunnel connecting
the house with the water.
A beaver family usually consists of
four or five, and comes into the world
with its eyes wide open. The young
ones live with their parents for two
years and then they are made to shift

with tail some ten inches long, which
he can use as a spade or trowel as
well as a paddle. The average age is
10 years, although some have been
known to be as old as 20, but such
cases are said to be rare. When the
animal is 8 years of age its pelt is at
its prime, and will fetch from $40
to $12 In Minneapolis.

No Extra Trouble.

It was in the dead of night, and a
cold night at that. Mr.. Smith was
away and Peterson Smith, aged 6, was
getting over the measles.
Mother, may l have drink of real
cold water?' he asked, waking Mrs.
Smith from a refreshing slumber.
Turn right over and go to sleep ~
commanded Mrs. Smith. You are a
naughty boy to wake mother up when
she put a pitcher of water on your
table the very last thing before you
went to bed"
Ten minutes later the small voice
piped I'D again: Mother, l want a

Yale Mnsticntion Experiments.

A report has just been made in the
Yale alumni weekly concerning the ex-
periments conducted by Prof. Irving
Fischer of the political economy depart
ment with a number Of students over
period of four and a half months, to dis
cover whether proper mastication and en-
joyment of food would effect the mental
and physical power of the individual. The
students took no more exercise than pre-
viously and were allowed to eat whatever
they preferred, meats being served three
times a day, as we'll as choice of fruits
and cereals, in fact whatever they or
dered. At the end of two months they
had increased 80 per cent in endurance
and at the end of the experiment they
were able to do double the amount OF
physical work 1t was found by thorough
mastication that the men gradually lost
their desire for meats, preferrins cereals,
fruits and nuts, and at the end they were
consuming one-sixth of the meat they did
at the start.

Here is something of real practical
value to any one driving horse that
pulls on the bit: Fasten a small ring
to each side of the bride and as near
the brow band as possible Pass lines
through bit rings and snap them into
rings at brow band. This, with COM
mon jointed bit, will enable child to
hold ''puller" or hard-mouthed horse
with ease under almost all circum-
stanes. 1t can be used on a fast horse
in double team, or on both, as desired.

though 1t is operated under lease
by the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Company. But from the time of
its completion down through the civil

Cured the famous locomotive chase,

that Gen. Corse was hard pressed by
the Confederates, when Gen. Sherman

million acres at Santa Gertrude, Tex.
The ranch carries more than one hun

more than one hundred miles of rail

ranch is used mostly for stock raising,
but would be extremely valuable If
divided into smaller tracts for cnltiva-

the land by boring artesian wells and
leasing it to small farmers. More than

Dormant Budding.

Prof. Price says the method of dor
mant budding, as practiced at the
Texas station, consists of cutting a slip
of bark, with some wood attached,
down the tree about one inch, leaving
it attached at the lower end. About
half of this slip is then cut off, leav-
ing the other half still attached to the
tree. Cut off bud, leaving some wood
also attached to it to prevent injury,
and then carefully place it between
the slip and tree, SO that it will fit
nicely, and the cambium of the bud and
tree come in contact. Tie tight with
some good material, such as raffia. In
five or six days the bud will be found
to have knit firmly. Treat them as
those budded in the usual way.

When siIo Corn should BE Cut.

1t is of primary Importance to know
at what stage corn should be cut to Sc
cure the best results, says Farming.
1t is also necessary that careful study
be made as to how rapidly nutriment
is stored up in the corn plant and
when the maximum amount is reached.
When corn is fully tasseled it contains
but eight-tenths of a ton of dry matter
per acre, or one-fifth what it contains
when fully ripe. When in milk it con-
tains nearly three times as much dry
matter as when fully tasseled. Only
seventeen days were occupied in pass
ing from the milk to the glazing stage,
yet in this time there was an increase
in the dry matter of 1.3 tons per acre.
This shows the great advantage of let
ting the corn stand until the kernels
are glazed. After this period the in
crease in dry matter is but slight

The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue has issued regulations controlling
the manufacture of denatured alcohol
and its uses, pursuant to an act of Con-
gress which goes into effect June /,
1907. The Commissioner says there
will be two classes of alcohol, first, that
which is completely denatured which
will pass into general use and be put-
chased without limitation, as against
private consumers; and. secondly, spe-
cially denatured alcohol, in which the
material demanded by the needs of
manufacturing interests will be regard
ed. Denatured alcohol will supplant a
large consumption of wood alcohol, and
the price, it is believed, will not be
more than % cents per gallon. The de-
maturing process will have to be accom-
plished on the premises where the dis
tiIling is done in specially designated
bonded warehouses.

score of s to in the sixth game of the

has been a succession of surprises The

Americans, on the other hand, won by
a comparatively small margin. They
got off poorly and failed to catch their
stride until the season was we'll adj
