Large Audience.

Signor Victor and his Royal Ven

oughly enjoyed the concert.

BIG CATS MOST DANGEROUS.
Even Grizzly Bears and Rogue Ele-
phants Must Take Second Place,

Even Grizzly Bears snd Rogue Ele-
plants Must Take Second Place.
OF all wild animals, including the
rhinoceros with his frightful charge
and his dreadful horn, including the
rogue elephant with his unbounded
strength, his marvellous cunning and
his villainous trunk, and including
that gray shaggy rogue, the American
grizzly" with his rib-crushing hug,
his ponderous paw and his hot, reek-
ing nav, no beast is as dangerous to
man as any one of the big cats. For
besides the mouth provided with teeth
that can crush through the leg bone
of man as if it were pipestem, each
foot is provided with five poniard-like
claws, pointed like needles and from
three to four and half inches long.
AS the beast strikes with these he
draws the claws in, keeping hold of
muscles and tendons and ligaments
and tearing them out of the flesh untli
they snap like rubber bands, so that
unless the victim succumbs it will be
months and months and sometimes
years and years before he can regain
the use of an injured member.
But not only do these talons tear.
Curious to say, considering that al
though the claws are needle pointed
the edges are dull as the tip of little
finger, a cut with one of these hooks
IL like the cut of a dagger.

Composition of Wheat Bran

Notes are given on the composition,
digestibility and fertilizing ingre-
dents of wheat bran as compared
with other concentrated feeding stuffs,
and two feeding experiments with
COWS are reported in Massachusetts
state report by ]. B. Lindsey The
roughage in the two rations COM
pared consisted of hay and silage and
the grain feed of cottonseed meal and
-four middlings. TO this was added
either bran or silage with corn meal
or corn-and-cob meal In one of the
experiments the results were slightly
in favor of the bran ration, while in
the other the so-called silage ration
gave the best results.
The author concludes that for small
herds the quantity of purchased grain
may be reduced to three to four
pounds daily by substituting home
grown corn in place of wheat bran. 1t
is suggested that the grain mixture
may consist of one and one-half
pounds cotton-seed meal, two pounds
flour midd4ings and two and one-half
to three pounds corn meal or corn
and-cob meal Malt sprouts may be
substituted for the wheat, cats or rye
middlings. Where the feeding cannot
be closely supervised and where it is
desired to feed more than five to seven
pounds of grain daily, it is considered
advisable that the grain mixtures
should consist of one-third to one-half
of wheat bran.

pieces.
Most farmers prefer to smoke then
neat and have special smoke-houses
ouilt on the farms for this purpose.
Hickory or oak bark makes very
rood smoke, although corn cobs will
do very well as substitute. The
meat should be smoked until it is a
good, rich brown, and then hung up
n dry, cool room, and in some way
protected from flies. The hams and
shoulders should be encased in can
vas sacks, as this meat is the most
valuable part of the hogs and is gen.
orally selected by flies on which to lay
their eggs Where there is danger
from rats and mice as well as from in
sects, the meat should be hung from
a swinging shelf or from floor joists
on the ceiling above. The smoking
process must not be hurried. Ten
days of steady smoking in ordinary
cases will be sufficient, unless the
pieces of meat are exceptionally large
or thick.

What the Tree Would Have Said

what the Tree Wouto nave SAID.
An alumnus of st. Stephens col
lege said of the late Bishop George
F. Seymour:
Bishop Seymour founded st. Ste
phen's, and we treasure here many
anecdotes about his wardenship.
"The bishop was very fond of trees,
and one day, while walking with a
young lady, he pointed out to her
some of the fine trees in the neighbor-
hood. She professed great interest
and delight. She cried:
How the noble aspect of beautiful
trees stirs up the keenest emotions
of the soul" Then. patting a great,
rough trunk, she went. on, You superb
oak, what would you say to me if you
could talk?'
