New Clothes for Easter.

The flowers with which many church
es are ornamented on Easter Day are
most probably emblems of the Resur-
rection. There are people today who
think that unless something new is
worn on Easter Day no good fortune
will come to them during the year.
The Dorsetshire poet, Barnes, gives us
this quaint little verse in regard to
this custom:
'Laste Easter I put on my blue frock
coat, the vust time, very new;
WI yaller buttons aal O. brass
That glittered in the zun like glass:
Bekaize 'twer Easter Zunday.

Two commercial travellers, one from
London and one from New York, were
discussing the weather in their respec-
tive countries.
The Englishman said that English
weather had one great faults sud-
den changes.
"A person may take a walk one
day." he said, ''attired in light sum-
mer suit, and still feel quite warm.
Next day he needs an overcoat.'
That's nothing" said the American.
MY two friends. Johnson and Jones,
were once having an argument. There
were eight or nine inches of snow on
the ground. The argument got heated,
and Johnson picked up a SNOWFALL and
threw it at Jones from a distance of
not more than five yards. During the
transit of that SNOWFALL, sir, believe
me or not, as you like, the weather
suddenly changed and became hot and
summer-like, and Jones, instead of be-
ing hit with SNOWFALL, was-er-
scalded with hot water!"

The Oregon's Big Pennant.

When the Oregon left Hongkong re-
Gently. after her long period of service
on the Asiatic station, she was flying
homeward-bound pennant over 500 feet
in length. 1t was necessary to support
this long streawer by two small bal
looms tied to the end to keep 1t out of
the water. The pennant was made of
silk thread and attracted much atten-
ton in the Asiatic port.
In the old days it was the custom to
have a foot of pennant for every day of
the cruise. That of the Oregon is prob
ably one of the longest displayed from
the mast of homecoming ship, al
though it is on record that the old
Brooklyn, on one occasion upon her ar
rival in New York, displayed pennant
700 feet long.

PERILS IN COLD STORAGE.
Frozen Bacteria Active-Governmen
to Make Experiments.

The Agricultural Department is fol-
lowing up line of scientific investiga-
ton of the effect upon perishable goods
in cold storage for an unlimited time,
and DR.. Wiley believes that he will de-
velop the fact that legislation is needed
fixing the period for which such ar
ticles as meats and milks may be
stored.
In one of the Philadelphia cold
storage houses space has been set aside
for the eX. eriments and like arrange
ment has been made in Washington for
storing birds and milk
The stored articles will be taken out
from time to time and examined to as
certain whether or not deterioration
has begun, and at what period the
point has been reached when the ar
ticles can be no longer stored and re-
main good food.
1t already has been demonstrated,
Dr. Wiley says, that the bacteria that
occasion decay remain in the meat
while frozen, and that they actually
carry on their work, although at a
greatly reduced rate.
In one of the cold storage plants in
Cleveland some meat was recently
found which had been mislaid and for
gotten for period of eleven years. 1t
was sent to the department and a por
ton thawed out and examined.
Decay had gone on to such an extent
that the meat was entirely un for
use. The greater portion of it was
again placed in storage and the obser-
walton will be continued. The fact that
the meat, having been frozen for eleven
years, was in a condition of decay is
held to conclusively prove that the
bacteria can work in the meat while
frozen. The object of the investigation
is to ascertain at what point the decay
has progressed to such an extent as to
injure the food value of the article
stored.
There is at present no law prohibit
ing the storage of any article for any
length of time. The only law upon the
subject is one that requires fowls to be
drawn before they are placed in stor-
age.

Little CannibaIS.

Every once in a while we hear of
breeders complaining of the cannibal-
istic habits among growing fowls. e6pe-
cially among those still in the days of
their early babyhood. This pernicious
habit, when once the young birds be-
come thoroughly addicted to it, is rath-
er difficult to control and suppress.
Usually it finds its chief expression in
flocks confined to close quarters, where
the ground is bare and the feed is
wanting in animal matter. Bird life
under natural conditions finds oppor-
tunity for work and play in the hunt
ing of insects for food and in the care
full selection of such vegetable mat
ter as its system may demand. Young
chicks, when confined, are obviously
deprived of these opportunities for
healthful exercise; the result is that
they become idle, which engenders
vicious habits and craving for some
thing to do as well as for animal food.
When in this condition if a member
of the little flock shows a wound or
effects of blood, the chances are that
one or two will at once commence to
peck at it, which leads the others on,
and soon the whole flock will be rend-
ing the little one into shreds, devour-
ing it before one has opportunity to re-
lieve its misery or to isolate it from
the flock. The remedy, of course, is
obvious, namely, afford the young
chicks wider range and be more care
full in your feeding by making it
point to keep them busy by throwing
the food into litter or suspending a
head of lettuce or cabbage where they
can peck at it; also supply in one form
or another animal food. A good way
to do this is to take the underground
scratching chick feeds, which of them
selves are balanced ration, and scat
ter the same in litter of chopped
straw or hay, about one and one-half
or two inches deep. In fact, anything
that will make a litter may be consid-
cred available.
