Exercise in itself is no doubt excel
lent, but is it well for sane man to
make 1t fetish? Does 1t do a busi-
ness man any good to swell the mus
cles of his back by wrestling with a
rowing machine or to make his legs as
hard as railroad ties by galloping about
n canvas track? Is there any advan-
tage, after all, in developing the sinews
abnormally? Does a man who works
with his brain gain anything by try
ing to initiate a hodcarrier? The no
ton that the average business man
Will be benefited by developing the
muscles of q steyedore is based on
nothingSmore tangible than wild theor
izing In favor Of it Is the allegation
that physical or brute strength spells
health. Against 1t is the obvious and
undoubted fact that millions of men
who take no more exercise than their
ordinary avocations require live to hale
and hearty old age. and the further
fact that the average athlete, for all
his sinew, and vigor, is seldom more
healthy than the average desk slave or
soft muscled man-Baltimore Herald.

there is at least a sort of historic COM
fort in knowing that the phenomenon
Of mammoth fortunes is not a new
thing.
A magazine writer goes back TO an
cient Rome. when there were no rail
roads or trusts or corporations, ana
gives some figures on the individual
fortunes of that day which might look
attractive even to some of our modern
plutocrats.
Seneca, the philosopher and author,
was worth SIT 100000; Lentulus, the
augur, S16,600O00; Crassus, the poll
tician who formed with Caesar and
Pompey the first triumvirate, had a
landed estate Of more than SS,OOO,OOO;
the emperor Tiberius left fortune OF
S11S,000,000, which the depraved Callg-
ula got rid of in less than year. \
dozen others had possessions that ran
into the millions.
1t is true that these Romans did not
''make" these fortunes in what we
would call regular commercial opera
tions. But they got the money, and
they held on to it, which is about all
that can safely be said Of possessions
that run into seven figures in any age
or country.
And, speaking of campaign contrlbu-
tions and so forth, Julius Caesar once
presented the consul Paulus with $500
600 merely as a token Of esteem and
coupled with the hope that Paulus
would do the right thing in certain
political matter that was pending. The
argument was effective with Paulus,
and neither he nor Caesar suffered any

Psychologists can determine the relative

DENATURED ALCOHOL.

sition In It's Manufacture.

DIR. WiIey's Idea of the Farmers Pc
sition In It's Manufacture.
In discussing the possibilities of de-
natured alcohol DR.. III. Wiley, chemist
Of the department of agriculture, says
In Rural New Yorker that practically
all of the alcohol made In the United
States at the present time Ii made
from Indian corn. The most abundant
source Of alcohol after Indian corn Is
probably the potato, either the ordI-
nary white, the sweet or the yam.
This is crop grown In great abun-
dance In almost all parts Of the United
States, while In some localities espe-
cially favorable conditions are obtain
ed for the growth of the potato-for
Instance, in the northern part Of
wMaine. In Colorado and many other
places. Imperfect, DlvSao7 or bruised
potatoes can be very profitably used
for alcohol making where the sound
and well formed potatoes would bring
more money by direct sale.
For denaturing alcohol-that 1s, max
ing it unfit for drinking-the addition
of from to per cent Of crude wood
alcohol is very efficient. This pro-
duces o spirit known as methylated
spirit To make the concoction still
more bitter there is often added
chemical compound known az pyridine,
which dissolves readily in alcohol and
imparts to it an intensely bitter and
unpalatable taste.
DIR. Wiley strongly advises the farm
ers of this country not to undertake
the manufacture of alcohol. To do
this successfully requires thWoQghl
knowledge ) of the chemistry .pfssthe
process and a high degree of technical
skill. The successful practice OF the
future, he thinks. will consist In. the
establishment of central distiller1es in
good locality accessible to the farm:
ers who will furnish the raw material
for manufacture.

BACK TO MUTTON.
Present Phase of the sheep Industry
ON the Farm.

ON the Farm.
There is no animal ON the farm to-
day that will give us more clear meat
the work required 10 take care OF il
than the sheep. l do not see why each
and every one of our farmers does not
keep few sheep to eat up the waste
both In the summer and winter. Sheep
are not expensive. If you have some
roots for them, silage, corn or some
thing like that they get along very we'll
Fhave seen sheep fed by the thousand
on nothing but clear roots. OF course
we could not feed sheep alone on that
In this country.
The Highly Finished Product.
There certainly is demand for that
class of meat fitted UP in the highest
possible shape. If were to tell you
the price that some of 1t has sold for
you would hardly believe me. know
one man who sold to a clubhouse in
Boston and hotel in New York fifty
yearling wethers ut an average price
of 20 cents n pound. dressed weight. If
we can keep any other animal on our
farm today that Will net US as much
profit as this / would like to know
what it is. 1 would like to have some
of them.
When They Do Not Fay.
There are too many of our farmers
who have few sheep, and these can't
pay under the circumstances In the
way they are kept. ! know a farmer
who lived near me who kept probably
twenty or thirty sheep. He put them
in the far end of the field and once or
twice during the summer looked at
them. We cannot expect to make
money out of an animal In that way.
In the winter take them up and let
them run around the straw stack. For
the pure bred flock we must keep them
growing from the time they are born
until the time we turn them of. You
take a lot Of lambs and feed them with
clover hay and corn and they will de-
velop in a way that will do very well
for the market-J. c. D., Pennsylva-

Origin Of or Tail soup.

During the reign of terror in Paris
in 1893 many of the nobility were re-
duced TO starvation and beggary. The
abattoirs sent their hides fresh to the
tanneries without removing the tails,
and in cleaning them the tails We're
thrown away. One of the noble beg
gars asked for tail, and 1t was will
ingly given to him. He took it to his
lodging and made (what is now IA
nous the first dish Of OK tail soup.
He told others of his good luck. and
they annoyed the tanners so much that
q price was put upon them.

Know what rhey Ar. After.

A feature of European stock breed
Ing operation which has been Of untold
value to her people is the well defined
aim or purpose which every successful
breeder has in mind at all times. These
men are not breeding at random with
the hope Of getting an occasional good
animal. Each successful man has a
very clear idea of the type Of animal
which he wishes to produce, and he
never stops short Of getting the same.
Even when he has reached his original
ideal he is not satisfied, but seeks to
do even better work In the future. BY
@ large and successful breeder of live
stock the European people do not mean
a man who owns q large number OF
animals, but the man who succeeds In
annually producing high percentage
Of meritorious animals.-W. J. Ken

ing character of the otter. When met
in herds far out at sea, which is but

swimming on their backs. They even
eat their food lying in this position on
the water and nurse their young ones
on their chests between their paws, ex-

When swimming in this attitude they
