The Artful Squirrel,

You may find many squirrel in
the course Of your tramp, but no two
alike exactly in their method of at.
tempted escape or concealment. The
ways and means of the little rascals
are legion. One may flatten himself
out against gray patch on the back
of a tree trunk, absolutely motion
less; and unless in your earnest,
steadfast looking you can detect an
ear or a shoulder in relief against
the sky you might as well abandon
search. Another may lie along a
bough flattened at full length; but
here the telltale ears are more easily
silhouetted. Still another may crouch
drawn Up in a fork; and here the
thing to look for is the fluffy tip of
that little signal flag which always
works and waves and jerks and sig
mails so bravely when danger is not
in the air. Or one may gather him.
self up in bunch to initiate a knot
or knob; and here he can very we'll
tell when you have sp;ed him out.
He will catch your eye, even as you
catch the eye Of an acquaintance in
a crowd. and will instantly timber up
for headlong flight, leaping from tree
to tree, till he vanishes over the
ridge.-Field and Stream.

ORIGIN OF THE PEARL.
Secretion Formed for Defense, Thinks
M. Seurat.

Secretion Formed for Defense, Thinks
M. Seurat.
The origin of the pearl in the shell
of the oyster, or other bivalve or
mollusk, has been the object of
considerable amount of investigation
and speculation. Among the more
recent studies of the subject may be
noted those of M. Seurat recorded in
the Complies Rendus" This natural
list finds that in pearl oysters from
the Gambia lagoons, in the South
Pacific, the pearls are due to small
worm-a sort of tapeworm. In cysts
on the body and mantle of the oyster
he has found true pearls surrounding
nucleus which he has shown to be
one of these worms. Like other tape
worms, this one, concerned in the pro-
dlction of pearls, requires a second
host in which to complete its develop
ment. And M. Seurat considers that
the ray is the second host in this
case, for he has found in the spiral
intestine of this fish small tapeworms,
which he regards as the adult form
of the larval worm of the pearl oys-
ter. The author has named this new
species of tapeworm Tylocephalum
margaritiferae. The view has been
held that the pearl is a secretion
formed, as it were, in self-defense for
the surrounding and isolation of an
injurious foreign body.

reply gear to Indicate on the launching
platform that the mechanism had
worked satisfactorily. The whole gear
was controlled by means of a minia-
ture steering wheel and standard plac-
ed on the launching platform, and SO
adjusted that when the Countess of
Aberdeen, who performed the cere-
mony. gave the wheel one complete
revolution, the triggers were released
and the vessel was free to run down
the ways. A powerful hydraulic ram
was placed at the forward end of the
sliding ways on each side Of the vessel,
the cylinders being coupled to the same
supply pipe to insure equality of pres
sure. These rams were for the pur-
pose of giving the vessel start II she
had not moved directly the triggers
were released; but in this instance they
were unnecessary. The drags for
checking the way on the ship after
she had successfully taken the water
were formed Of chain cables, three
piles being arranged on each side to
Come iHlO pluy ~ SultuUle luIcryalS.
The total weight of drags employed
was about GOO tons, and their action
in bringing the ship to rest was in
every way satisfactory. The total time
taken from the STRAIT until the vessel
was actually clear of the ways was
1:51."
The writer says further:
"rhe particular berth upon which
the Agamemnon was built was spe-
cially prepared for the laying down
of vessel of the largest and heaviest
type. great care having been taken in
the piling In the area. Nearly 1000
pitcli-pine logs. each 40 feet long and

ally into the ground, with cross-ties on
their tops. the total quantity of timber
used in the preparation of the berth

Sowing of Winter When,


At the proper time for seeding, win
ter wheat Is sown. using the press drill.
Unless Hessian fly is to be fought the
wheat is drilled in about the middle of
September. This method Of treatment
accomplishes two things, the plowed
land will take up more of the rainfall
than unbroken stubble, and 1t will
store it up for the use of the wheat
crop. The early blowing and SUISSE
quent disklng and narrowing make a
fine, well-compacted subsoil free from
large air spaces and give fine, loose
surface. Such seed-bed is ideal for
wheat. The moisture stored up en-
ables the young plants to make good.
vigorous start and to develop strong
root system before freezing weather
stops the growth. They are thus much
better able to withstand the rigors of
winter.
The fourth year, after the wheat
crop Is harvested, the soil is treated
just as for the oat crop. If the land
is in fairly good shape. the rotation is
repeated by putting into the corn the
following spring. If the land shows
that 1t is running down in fertility.
it is seeded in the fall to grass If
the season is wet enough, sowing the
grass about the last of August or the
first of September. Fall blowing gives
a crop that first year, thus saving the
loss Of the land for one season. If too
dry for fall seeding, the land is sown
to grass the following spring. The land
is thus left in grass from two to five
years. when it is again broken up and
put under cultivation,

Tho prlp Of Ii. rain

Tha stars have curtained their light
In clouds
And the moon has slipped from sight;
And only the sound of the rain Il

Through the fragrant summer night.
Over the sloping and moss-grown
caves,
Drenching the lilies and sweet green
leaves,
Filling the night with Its low refrain
Is heard the drip of the summer rain.
The darkness, soft as velvet robe,
Shuts the cares of the world away;
And the south wind blows the slant
ing rain
Into sheets of silver spray,
And up through the darkness, warm
and wet,
Comes the scent of pansies and

Bearing the message of hope again,
In this peaceful hour Of rest and rain.
TITS gracious gift that the night be.

For the summer shower brings
The dreams of peace. and breath

On the sweep Of its dusky wings
And the hearts that sorrow forget to

And the voice of care and the sting
of pain
Are lost in the drip OF the summer
rain.

The Cost Of Living.

Bradstreet's index numbers of prices
for October show the highest point
reached since 1896 and indicate that
the cost of living has advanced nearly
80 per cent since July 1, 1896. The adj
vance since October, 1905. has been 3.S
per cent, so that prices are still rapidly
advancing. AS the index numbers are
based on every necessity except rent
and approximately agree with those
issued by the r. G. Dun Co., they are
much more reliable than the figures
Issued by the Bureau of Labor for par
tisan purposes.
The following thirteen groups Of
commodities with the index numbers at
different dates will be of great interest
to all. but especially to those with In
comes that do not tiuctuate with prices
and are therefore 90 per cent worse off

Mrs. Philip p. Wilcox, slender lit
tie woman. weighing scarcely 100
pounds, is the village blacksmith of
College View, Neb. She learned her
somewhat unusual trade from her hus-
band
Having taken up the work at first
for pleasure. Mrs Wilcox found her
health steadily improved with the ex-
ercise, and decided to keep the little
Wilcox blacksmith shop open one
summer while her husband was away
working in the railroad shops. Her
success was SO marked that she has
kept ut the work ever since. She can
shoe a horse as well as any other
blacksmith in the country, though she
admits this Is one part Of the work
which is little distasteful to her.
Mrs. Wilcox was teacher before
her marriage, and now holds a teach
er's certificate. She said: ''There is
more money in blacksmithing. If some
of those poor, overcrowded teachers
would try this business once they would
never go back to the school room again.
I'm bringing up my girls the same way:
The eldest is an expert bicycle repair
er now and the younger two are also
good at the business. The oldest girl
has a bank account that she earned
from bicycle repairing"
One day a farmer led up mettle-
some young horse to be shod. Mr..
Wilcox went forward to take charge
of the animal, but Its owner shook his
head.
IF you don't mind. Phil" he said,
I'D rather Mrs. Wilcox would do this
job. The colt seems to have weak
ness for her. He nearly kicked the
shop down when man tried to shoe
him down In Lincoln few weeks ago.

he acted like lamb. She charms

she talks to them"
Mrs. Wilcox stroked the horse for a
moment on the nose, and, talking gent.

the animal offering no resistance what.

Cotton is king Of the exports of the
United States, according to a state
ment issued by the department of COM
merce and labor. The total value of
the raw product sent out of the coun-
try in the last fiscal year is placed at
$40O,O00,00O, exceeding by far the val
lie of any other article of merchandise
shipped from our shores. The export
of breadstuffs aggregated $4,000, 900,
those of provisions $211,000,OO0 and
those of iron and steel manufactures
$161 ,OO0. O0O-so it may readily be seen
what lead cotton has on its rivals.
Europe is the principal consumer of
raw cotton, and Japan also takes a
great quantity of the unworked pro-
duct.
A suggestion which has been made
by a number of experiment stations,
and one that will at least be seconded
by the stations of all states, is that
agriculturists should send samples Of
noxious weeds to their respective state
experiment stations with view to Sc
curing a scientific and reliable analy-
sis of them and such suggestions as
will prove helpful in their destruction.
The state officials in charge of this
line of work are always ready and will
ing to render assistance to residents of
the state in the manner Indicated.

The ru..ock Moth.

The Province of Quebec is threatened
with plague of the tussock moth,
which is very numerous in the region
of Montreal and attacks many kinds of
trees. The authorities are fighting the
pest by destroying their nests. This In
sect is some years very abundant In
the Northern States. The nests re-
semble white patches of cobweb and
contain hundreds of eggs which will
hatch in the spring.

to raise thoroughbred poultry instead
of mongrels, determine also to keep
only one breed, one color and one type.
This is very important on farm

found for keeping poultry separate.

of the poultry appliances will be nee

Caution. words.

Farmer Wilson, who hangs on to the
position of Secretary Of Agriculture
with the vigor of professional Re-
publican oftfceholder, in spite of scan
dals and semi-scandais in his depart

about the proposed meat merger that
shows he is growing cautious with age.
He said:
