In Past Ages 1t Played a Very Inn
portant Part In Life.
+ Many odd notions still exist as to
sneezing, and some persons may be
heard to exclaim "Bless, my soul,
oncer' "Bless my soul, twice!' and so
on after each sneeze. But in past
ages the sneeze really played very
important part.
In ancient Greece the people saluted
each other whenever any one present
CHANGED to sneeze. As Xenophon was
addressing the Greek army in mo-
ment of defeat on historical occa-
sion a soldier sneezed. The lines OF
battle were formed at once, for the
sneeze was deemed a good omen, and
the Greeks were successful.
Among the Hebrews when person
sneezed the bystanders would say,
'Tobinz chaiim"-'A long life to you-"
In India criminals on the rack of tor
ture have saved their own lives by
sneezing accidentally.
4 humorous story about sneezing is
told in that wonderful collection of
oddities, "The Arabian Nights A
schoolmaster was particular in teach
ing his pupils the value of politeness.
He also told them that whenever he
sneezed they should clap their hands
and say, Long live our noble master
One day master and pupils went out
for a stroll. The air was hot, and all
soon grew very thirsty. Great was
their joy at last to find a well. But
the bucket was at the bottom of the
well, and so the schoolmaster went
down to bring it up. The boys seized

Mutton Chops.

You can never improve a flock by
using a grade sire.
Wethers intended for market should
be put in a pasture by themselves,
where they can be literally fed.
The ewes and the sire should receive
generous feeding.
When ewes are. gaining in condition
at mating time there will be a larger
percentage of twins and the lambs will
be stronger
A supply of roots is necessary to
success with sheep.
Have some way of marking your
sheep. Many neighbors have been
made enemies for life by their sheep
getting mixed in the pasture.
1t is important to give good care to
all animals, but particularly to sheep.
To restore flesh to an animal is an ex-
pensive process, as costly to sheep as
to other animals.-Farm Journal.

pillow. There are several forms, one of
which is called "puller." This has
two fingerIke tapering prongs, which
run through the ground parallel with
the surface, but about ten inches be-
low. The space between these prongs
is wider at the points, gradually less

are supported by two upright pieces
attached to the beam. When pulled
through the soil the points are carried
on either side of the beet compelling
it to pass through this diminishing

Swords Bent Double to Test Them.

If you have an opportunity at any
time of examining a sword such as is
used in naval and military services
you may notice that just below the
hilt. an inch or two down the blade,
there is a small disk of brass welded
into the blade The meaning of this
brass might well escape any one not
possessed of well developed sense of
curiosity. Swords are subjected to
very severe tests before being issued,
and this brass piece indicates that one
of the tests to which the sword was
subjected was to have its point bent
right back until it touched the hilt at
the brass spot. Swords that have sue
cessfully withstood this severe test are
trustworthy Chronicle.
