These trunks are designed primarily
for rich Americans who are now tray

diamonds, pieces of jewelry and other
valuables in secret trays, false bot

spector would not be expected to look.
These trunks are made very clever
ly and, although it is an old dodge. it
will be worked with some success this
year. They used to make these trunks
with false bottoms of such depth that
the deception was quickly discovered.
They do them much better now and
our inspectors will have 20 keep a
sharp lookout to prevent fraud. Only
the most experienced inspectors who
have handled trunks for years can

MAKING OF A GOOD cow,
First Fifteen Months Of Calls Life
Determines Her Future.

A wise old dairy farmer once said
to Gov. Hoard, The COW is either
made Or unmade in the first IS
months of her life Questioned far
Their he stated that he had come to his
conclusion after years Of observation
and practice. He had noticed this:
That where farmer took the best
possible care of his heifer calves, kept
them dry and clean, fed them well on
good growing food and kept them
going in a strong, growthy manner, if
they were we'll bred from good dairy
stock, nearly all would make good
COWS, whereas, if they were ever so
well bred, if they were neglected, and
badly cared for, it was rarely any OF
them would make good COWS.
I'VE believe firmly in the truth of
what this old farmer said,' adds Gov
Hoard. More good cows are spoiled
by neglect, insufficient food, during
the first Is months than from any
other cause.
Good blood, dairy heredity and all
that is necessary. 1t is the founda-
ton. But if we are going to make
good COWS out of these heifers we
must pay close attention to how we
start them on the road
For years we have been rearing
heifer calves. Some of them we have
sold and some of them we have kept
We are greatly Impressed by our ex-
perience with the truth of the old
farmers theory. 1t is true that We
take great pains that the heifer shall
be we'll born. But that is only half
the proposition, the first half.
If she is to have good, large capac-
ity she must be steadily we'll noui-
lshed from the beginning to the time
she is first in calf. This done she has
a greatly increased chance of profit to
her owner. In buying heifers it is
worth good deal to know how they
have been reared. Of one thing We
are certain, and that is that it pays to
feed the heifer skim milk daily till
she is 10 to ~ months DID, together
with pint to quart of oats Such
feeding with good care turns out
much finer cows than does the treat
ment heifer calves usually receive"

ALIVE IN HIS COFFIN.
Narrowing Experience Of a Young
French Priest Years Auo.

A sad case Of premature burial
which occurred the other day in
France recalls the strange adventure
of which Cardinal Bonnet was, 80
years ago, the hero. Forty years later
the prelate himself related the pecu-
liar story to his colleagues of the SEN

ing the subject of premature inter-
ment. I'm 1885," he said, ION a hot
day and in a crowded church, a. young
priest, while delivering sermon, was
suddenly seized with faintness and
lost consciousness. He was carried
out Of the church, pronounced to be
dead. and asfew hours later his funeral
was arranged for But the priest was
not dead. He could not see, but he
could hear, and what he heard was not
of nature to reassure him. lie heard
the doctor declare life to be extinct, he
heard him make inquiries as to his
age, his place OF birth, and firally sign
the order for his burial. The vener-
