Protein and Its Sources,

Protein is the nitrogenous part of
feeds and is by far the most valuable
Of the different groups of nutrients.
Its characteristic element Is nitrogen
The white of egg is almost pure pro-
tein. Cottonseed meal and linseed
meal are very rich in protein, and so
are leguminous hays, such as clover,
alfalfa and cowpea hay.-John Michels.

Turkeys and Green Grain.

You didn't know there was danger of
the young turkeys gorging themselves
with too much green oats or wheat:
now, did you? asks Fanny Wood in
Farm Journal. Green grain of any
kind, eaten too literally, will cause
young turkeys to droop and finally
die with trouble similar TO cholera
When the grain is ripe, there is not Il
bit of danger Of their eating too much.

A College In Bokhara.

There lay behind the great arch and
the domes and the minarets a retired
precinct of ancient trees and shaded
walks, a grove in the midst of city,
colonnaded in quadrangle by the point
ed arches of the students cells. Under
the trees was a sort of summer house
or pavilion. Two or three young men
were walking in an avenue against the
farther colonnade, and on the stone
steps of wide, shaded pool sat several
mollahs on their praying rugs. We
visited number of the students in
their cells-monastic little brick walled
rooms where they live the year around
(there are no vacations in Mussulman
colleges) and for years on end. 1t Is
not unusual for a student after passing
the primary school to spend as much
as fifteen or twenty years at his higher
studies, though usually in such long
course he will go through several diff
ferent colleges in the order of advance
ment. Quiet men, these students, mild
eyed, patient, often middle aged.-Min-

They Are Not an Integral Part of the
Life of the City.
The cab is no integral part of New
York life. Venice without the gondola
were as unthinkable as woman with
out hair. No little of London's COM
pelling charm is in its swift rolling
hansoms. These things we know. But
one can't think of New York in terms
of cabs. Once upon time was in
exile. Only in memory did the great
city rise before me, and what 1 saw
was this: Huge canyons of stone and
steel, filed with noise and darkness,
through which great yellow worms
crawled,. one after the other, in mid
air. That is the picture Of New York
that haunts the exile, even as the out
lawed Venetian is obsessed by slim
black gondolas cutting across lanes Of
moonlight Your true New Yorker Is
a steam projected, electrically carted
person. Only in exceptional moments
of gloom or gayety does he ride sin a
carriage and pair" He is carriage
ridden to a funeral. He cabs it in
winey moments, when the fear of God
Is not in him. There are only 1000
licensed cabs and hacks on the island
of Manhattan. Others there are, Of
course, plying practically in the dark
quarters, but even with these thrown
in the reckoning is small. No; the New
Yorker is not cabby person.-Vance

Claude DuynI.

This gallant robber of mems purses
and ladies' hearts was of French ex-
traction. Duval became so rich with
his Ill gotten gains that he was enabled
to retire from the profession and re-
turn to France But quiet life, free
from the excitement of his old career,
did not agree with his adventurous
spirit. He returned again to England
and resumed his avocation. At length
he was captured at the Hole in the
Wall, In Chandos street. While in
prison awaiting his doom many ladies
of position visited him and endeavored
to obtain his release, but justice was
inexorable, and he was hanged at Ty-
burn in January, 1910. His epitaph in
st. Pau's church. Covent Garden,
speaks Of him as "Old Tyburn's glory,
England's illustrious thief" and tells
us:
Here lies Duval. Reader, if male thou
art,
Look to thy purse; If female, to thy
heart.
Much havoc has he made of both.

Girl Slaves In China.

A native writer in Chinese publica-
ton remarks: when a girl is sold In
China she becomes the slave Of her
owner and part of his property. She
no longer retains her freeborn rights,
but surrenders them all to the will of
those who own her. She receives no
compensation for her labor, but is
obliged to accept such raiment and
food as her owners may be pleased to
give her. In cases of tyranny or gross
cruelty she cannot appeal for redress.
She may be resold, given away or
cast off in the streets at the arbitrary
will of her master. All freedom is de-
MED her, and she remains a tool and
chattel in the hands of her owner un-
til she is sold again or until death re-
leases her from her unwilling fate"

NEEDLESS NOISES.

Maddening Effect of Some Sounds

fold noises of your steamers plunge

wash of the sea, unite in a lullaby to
which the worst conscience sinks into
repose, but a snore breaking from the

incessant but varied grind and clang
of the sleeping car become soothing at
last, but a radiator, be ginning to fzz

turned of, seems to leave the would be

could get at the second engineer and
leave him welterlng in his gore, you
could snatch a few cat maps before

senses or your spirits to, but the noise

The theory that the flying fish
glides through the air like an aero
plane, propelled by the tail and guild
ed by the pectoraI fins, is dispI owed
by Lieut.. Col. G. d. Durnford, All
English naturalist He finds that an
average flight begins with jump into
the air, impelled by the tail and
aided by the wing Like fins; that it is
continued by labored and exceed
ingly rapid movement II the seeming
ly motionless wings, which at times
slow down so that the vibration
becomes visible; and that it ceases
either with a sudden stoppage or
gradual slowing down of the wings
before reaching the water.

DRESSING FOR DINNER.
A Habit to Be Cultivated by Al
Classes of Persons.

A Habit to Be Cultivated by All
Glasses of Persons.
Dressing for dinner Is regarded by
some as a piece of arrogance and as
evidencing merely desire to appear
superior to somebody else. They OBJ
serve no dignity in the custom and per-
haps do not realize the fact that the
change of clothes is consistent with
personal comfort and cleanliness,
whether the new garments donned be
Of the evening dress pattern or not.
The most important meal Of the day
affords to those who dine In the even
ing an excellent opportunity of ex-
changing their workaday clothes for a
suit which has been brushed and aired.
The bracing effect .of a change of
clothes is well known. Many a man,
being almost too fatigued after an ar
duous days work to change his clothes,
finds himself considerably refreshed
when he experiences a feeling Of clean
liness and preparedness for his dinner,
and good digestion invariably waits on
healthy appetite. The changing Of
clothes may even thus favorably AFFECT
nutrition. Nor need the changing Of
clothes be the exclusive luxury Of tho
persons who dress for dinner. The
hard worked clerk, the shopkeeper and
the workingman would all be better If
they would cast off their workaday
clothes and put on clean clothes for the
evening meal after the day Of toll is
over. The change freshens the body,
gives a gentle stimulus to the wearied
hand and head, and a brighter view Of
things is thereby engendered. The
habit is, besides, cleanly, dignif1ed and

COCHIN EAL.
The Way the Tiny Insects Live and
How They Are Gathered.

The Way the Tiny Insects Live and
How They Are Gathered.
Merry millions of little buglets sup
port the vast cochineal Industries.
Where the tiny cochineal insect comes
from is something of a mystery, but
he does come wherever the nopal plant
grows and for a long time was thought
to be seed or a floweret of the plant.
The living female insect is twice as
large as the male, weighs one-tenth of
grain and loses much weight in dry
ing, so that 10000 are needed to make
one pound. During the rainy season
many millions of the creatures are
drowned or washed off the plants, so
that when the long dry summer comes
there are but a few survivors on each
plant. But these multiply so rapidly
that before long the plants are cover
ed. The last act of the females life is
to deposit a large number of eggs, on
which her dead body rests, protecting
them from the burning rays of the sun
until the little ones emerge. In about
six weeks after the beginning of the
dry season comes the first harvest.
The plantation laborers make the
round of the nopalry and with brush
go over the entire plant, sweeping the
creatures into bag. They then are
killed by immersion in hot water, by
exposure to steam or by drying in hot
ovens. The hot water or steam makes
them a dark reddish brown or black
cochineal. The hot ovens make them
a red gray hue or silver cochlneal. The
females outnumber the males by at
least 200 to 1, fortunate fact for the
planter, since the males are of no use
to him whatever

Onions.

Onions are not intended to be eaten
ca maze. When they are taken raw
they should be thoroughly masticated
OF, better still, the juice of the onion

onion is splendid for liver complaints
and acts in consequence as. purifier
for dark and muddy complexion.

Effects of Deafness.

An ear specialist insists that deafness
affects all the senses. He says the rea-
son for this is that the ear is only one
servant of the sensory service of the
human system. Loss of hearing Is
really a partial paralysis of the brain,
but owing to the sympathetic connec-
ton Of the various sensory nerve cen
ters of the brain the others Indirectly
concerned have to combat for their
very life the demoralizing influence Of
the affected center.

| BRETON WEDDING
PICTURESQUE CEREMONY IN
 THIS MODERN ARCADE.
Peculiar Customs Which Still Pre- vail Among This Primitive and SimpIe-Hearted
 People.

A Breton wedding is always an oc. casion of interest, not only to those most intimately concerned, but also to all their relations, friends, and the whole neighborhood in which it is celebrated.
 The invitations are duly given, partly by the bride-elect and her god mother, and partly by the happy man and his godfather, who personally in- vite the guests, to the number of per haps couple of hundred.
 It would never do for a bride to appear eager to be married, so when the bridesmaid goes to help her to dress early in the morning, either she will be busy about the ordinary duties Of the house or farm. or hidden away in some unexpected corner of the premises, deaf to all calls, and quite unresponsive till her hiding place is discovered, and she is brought in to be prepared for the great occasion. All goes smoothly until the shoes are
