LONG HOURS OF SCHOOLING.
Boys Worked Hard In Old English In
stitutions OF Learning.

Schoolboys in Old England took to
Latin and Greek at an early age. AT
st. Savior's grammar school, South
wark, in 1911, a pupil Of seven years
and three months was admitted as an
ordinary occurrence, who signed his
form of admission, stating himself to
be reading and learning in the Acct
dence, and entering into Propria qua
Maribus, ETC.; and also Tully his sec
ond epistle, among those gathered by
Sternius. and Corderius' dialogues.
etc" The hours of study were long
TOO. An old record says that from
March till September "the child Is to
come at six in the morning and be at
school till IL. Again at one and tarry
till six; the rest of the year he Is to
begin In the morning at seven and
leave at five in the afternoon. The
maister shall not give leave to play
but once a week" The master wal
to be skilled in Latin, and able, t.
teach grammar, oratory, poetry ant
Greek, as also the principles OF lie
brew He Is to be OF wise, sociabl'
and loving disposition, not hasty o
furious, nor of i'll example; he shal
discern the nature of every child--i
such may be gotten"

The Mlllinn Of a Coin.

Nearly everybody thinks that the
milling of coin is its corrugated rim.
but that term has nothing to do with
the corrugations. The coiner at the
mint takes up blank, round piece
OF plain silver, cut out of silver bar,
and drops 1t into a machine. 1t comes
out with the edges slightly rounded
Then he drops It into the milling ma
chine, and IL comes out with the rim
fiat and raised little above the sides.
The milling is this plain raised rim,
without reference to any corrugations,
and 1t is intended to protect the sur
face of the coin from wear. The cor
rugations around the rim are called the
"reeding."

AVOID NosTRuMS.
unwlse to Co Doping Your Chickens
for Ailments,

A nostrum is, commonly speaking.
a quack medicine. Poultry raisers as
well as others have to face the prob
lens of using or not using such
things. great many medicines are
put up for the use of poultry raisers,
and the manufacturers advocate them
for well birds and for sick ones. Usu.
ally they are worthless and some.
times they are positively dangerous.
One correspondent writes the Farm
ers' Review that he fed his fowls a
patent worm remedy, to keep them in
condition. All the fowls that received
the remedy with one exception, died
from its effects. Healthy hens do not
need medicine any more than do
healthy people. To keep them in good
condition 1t is only necessary to give
them good food, pure water, pure air
sanitary surroundings and opportuni
ties for exercise.

sovAs FARMING TRUTHS.
Facts Cleaned from Thirty Years e.
perience.

SQUAD farming has developed in ths
last ten years into an industry Of con-
siderable importance, and so far there
is no trust" connected with II.
It Is important, before going into
the industry, that fair statement be
made of what the financial returns
may be. For while the work among
the birds may to many people be the
most delightful and fascinating Of all
rural occupations, still serious disap-
pointment will be met II only the
glowing promises Of the boomers are
read.
Much OF the squad farming litera-
ture disseminated by those having
breeding birds to sell would indicate
that to obtain one of their beautifully
Illustrated booklets and T. buy some
birds from them. is all that Is re-
quired to assure complete success and
large PROFITS. That Is very far ON
the truth.
If one is fond enough of the work
really to give the closest attention to
his birds until he knows they are
properly mated land this requires
great deal of time and patience even
from the most experiencedD, and then
will daily continue to give them the
most careful attention and see that
all their requirements are met land
this is essentiaD, such a one will run
a good chance Of raising an average OF
three to five pairs of marketable
squads per pair of breeders per annum
in the northern states. He will. how
ever, raise three to four pairs very
much oftener than FIVE.
Presuming that the flock consists
of Homers, the squads produced
should be mostly eight pounds to the
dozen, says Howard Butcher, in Farm
Journal. There might be few weigh
ing nine pounds to the dozen. and an
occasional one little heavier; but
there will also be few weighing as
low as six to seven pounds 10 the
dozen, and once in while a Gull. Any
body in the last IL months who OBJ
tained an average of three dollars per
dozen for squads from such a flock,
got about the highest wholesale mar.
ket price. 1t must be borne in mind
that while squads command fancy
prices in winter, that season is the
time when comparatively few are pro-
duced; the greatest production is In
the summer when the prices are the
lowest. There is an opportunity some
times to sell young birds for breeding
purposes and thus get better price
I 4. IN .l.a,
but, as a rule. squad farmers have to
depend upon sending the birds to
market.

THE PUGILISTS
BURNS WON ADE-
 CISIvE VICTORY
Jim Flynn Put Ont of Business for Fifteen Minutes Attell and
 Baker Matched.

Los Angeles. Oct 3.-Tommy Burns, claimant of the heavyweight championship. scored decisive vic toryy over Jim Flynn of Pueblo last night before the Pacific Athletic club, knocking Flynn out for ten minutes in the fifteenth round.
 The battle was hard from the start, Burns had Flynn almost out in the fourteenth round, the gong saving knockout. A right to the jaw sent the Colorado fighter down in the beginning of the fifteenth. He rolled over and got to his feet as Referee Robinson counted ten. He was sent down again, and then a few seconds later went to the canvass without being struck. The referee forced him to rise and after feinting Burns sent in the punch which put Flynn down and out. He lay on his back in the center of the ring for ten minutes.
 Burns fought heady and shifty fight. Much of his effective work vas done at cloec quarters.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Baseball season will soon be over.
 Rather cold weather for the. base ball series between the two Chicago teams.
 The winning of the pennant by the New Yorks would have been very popular.
 It would be much better If the big leagues ended their season about a week earlier. Then the championship sss1 series .c9qlldl .ssll be played at suitable time.
 Manager Clark Grifith of the Highlanders would like a series of games with the Giants in the spring. claiming that his men are all in after the fight they have made for the pennant.
 Looks as though the Larupers would beat out the Highlanders for second place, as they are now only eleven points behind the eastern team. This has proved very disas- trous trip for the New York nine, and although 1t looked as though 1t would surely capture the rag 1t is now evident that the team will have to fight hard to prevent Cleveland from taking the place.

Last year bowling had a craze on the people of Waterbury. and 1t promises to have just as many admirers the coming winter. Some good bowlers developed in Waterbury and some very interesting games were ployed. There were match games and tournaments and all kinds of games with the result that the alleys did rattling business.
 The Casino where bowling was re- vived in this city is still an attrac- tive spot and the best bowlers in the city may be found there nightly.

"HIs HONOR THE MAYOR"
A Good Entertainment, But Not
 Large Attendance.

AssA 8O ASs<hSAAasNGs
 It is to be regretted that the con. cert of Victor Herbert and that ex- cellent musical comedy drama, His Honor the Mayor." which was produced at Polls. happened on the same night. as the attendance at the theater was not what it would have been were the concert on some other night. Sull fairly good house was present and 1t certainly received the price of its money. The play is in two acts, which are fairly alive with fine singing. amusing situations and comedy, that 1t was pleasing to watch and most enjoyable to hear. Although much has been heard of Harry Kelly, who is a very funny fel- low. his makeup alone as Deacon Flood" being very fine, he has not the opportunities offered to Clarence Harvey. who as Teddy Todd. the mayor of Kankakee. proved himself one of the cleverest comedians seen in this city in some time. Nella Webb as Daisy, the milliner girl. made big hit, and was heard to good advantage in several fine songs. The manner in which she sang "A Little Girl Like Me-" playing to a couple of members of the company sitting in the front row. had .he au- dience guessing. and several encores were the result. "Waltz Me Around Again. Willie" sung by Blanche Ring In the comedy last season, was also another of Miss webb's c1joya- ble numbers. The English Ponies. a sextette of girls. all of the same size and pretty much the same shape. sang. skipped and danced themselves into favor. Lively from the word "go." and seemingly delighted while pleasing the audience. they respond ed to many encores. each time during their act with even more energy than on the previous occasion The troupe is a valuable asset to the company. Kelly and Madelyn Marshall. who portraoed the role of May Flood. the deacon's daughter. scored in the Rube dance. but the comedian lid not seem eager to respond to encores. John Fl. Pratt a baritone of excellent caliber. was another member of the company who shared hcnors with the stars. His Magyar Maid" with Lora Lieb. was one of the scms of the evening. There were so many good features in the performance that 1t would take time to dwell fur ther upon the individual narsbers. all of which were good The vhole production vas such that 1t could not but help win the admiration of an andience. and refurn date would undoubtedly 1n Pon's. e the the ofsf-gDe8 pruuut 1nGt eve1inx uoul1 bs p,soss1 C u1tnnm tno perfern- enm ol1A L ~ : l.
