GREEN CUT BONE.

One pound of cut bone for a dozen
hens once day, which should not
cost over one cent a pound, will pro-
duce more eggs than five times as
much grain, because the cut bone Is
complete in egg-making substances.
while the grain is largely deficient in
many respects. Some persons affirm
that 1t does not pay to procure a
bonecutter for small fiocks. That is
a mistake. Bone-cutters are now
cheaper than many ordinary garden
tools, and are strong. durable and
efficient. The cost of the bone-cut-
ter is soon regained in the increased
number of eggs laid. 1t is almost in
dispensable to success, no matter
how small the flock, for no one should
keep a flock unless fully determined
to secure the largest profit possible
The great saving of bones and meat
and the utilization of materials that
could not be appropriated as food
for fowls without their use have
given green bone-cutters a place on
all well-regulated farms. They are
sold at from SIS to $40, a price which
places them within the reach of all,
and they have added to the profits OF
farmers, butchers and
poultry supply houses.-Mirror and

Origin of the poo Watch.

The dog watch" on shipboard is
either Of the short spells from to 6
O'Clock In the evening or from to 8
to break the monotony of the regular
four-hour watches. so that the same
men will not stand watch during the
same hours every day. II, however,
you should ask the most nautical per-
son Of your acquaintance, or, indeed,
all the nautical people you know, why
this is so called, you would probably
find them unable to tell you.
The true answer is this: Dog watch
is a corruption Of dodge watch. Tho
dog watch was introduced to prevent
the same men from always keeping
watch the same hours of the day:
hence on these occasions the sailors
are said to dodge the routine or to be
doing dodge watch.-Philadelphia Rec.

SALT FOR SHEEP.

A series of experiments recently
conducted in France go to show tina.
sheep do need salt. One bunch that
was given half an ounce each gained
four pounds and a fraction more than
the bunch that had no salt. The
sailed sheep had almost two pounds
more wool, which was of finer quail
ity. Half an ounce of salt gave much
better results than did three-fourths
Of an ounce.
Have little salt troughs fastened to
trees or posts scattered through the
pastures and keep them filed with
salt In which Is mixed turpentine,
one tablespoonful to each quart of
salt. Keep your troughs filled so that
the sheep can get to them whenever
they choose (and you will find that
every day. and lick a little salt. The
odor or smell Of the turpentine will
be on their noses, consequently the
gad-fy will not bother or sting them

BRITISH NAVY MYSTERY.
Traditions Regarding the Death of Sir
Cloudesley Shovel.

OF the almost complete wreck Of a
squadron under Sir Cloudesley Shovel
on the rocks OF the Scilly Isles, to-
gether with the death of its gallant
commander, the greatest seaman of
the age, nufber of curious traditions
are associated both with the events
leading up to the catastrophe and the
fate of the celebrated Admiral.
The outstanding feature of the
catastrophe is the mystery of Shovel's
death, which will probably never be
solved, and the latter turns upon the
Admiral's emerald ring. One story
goes that the body was picked up on
the shore by a soldier and his wife,
and buried by them on Perth Hellick
sands. A spot is still shown at Perth
Hellick as being the burial place of
the Admiral and according to tradition
grass has never grown upon 1t. Sub
sequently the identity of the corpse
was discovered. The remains were ex-
humed and conveyed to London. via
Plymouth, where they were embalmed
Lady Shovel rewarded the soldier with
a pension for life, and received from
him the ring found on Sir Cloudesley's
finger.
Another story is that Paxton, the
purser Of the Arundel, discovered two
st. Mary men quarrelling over the pos
session of ring. He at once recog-
nized 1t as Shovel's ring, and inquir-
ed from which body it had been taken,
and when that was found he knew
and claimed the body. Lastly. there
is the startling narrative of foul play,
VIZ, that many years after the wreck
an aged woman confessed to the par
ish minister on her death bed that, ex-
hausted with fatigue, one man, who
had been washed ashore on a hatch,
reached her hut, and that she had
murdered him to secure the valuable
property on his person. She then pro-
duced splendid emerald ring. taken
from the finger of her victim, and
identified as the gift of Lord Berkeley
to Shovel.
The responsibility for this story
rests upon the Admirals grandson, the
Earl of Romney. Modern research re-
ports rather in favor OF the murder
theory. The ring was eventually re-
covered and altered into the form of a
locket and set with diamonds 1t is a |
precious relic Of the Berkeley family. |
The theory as to how it passed in
to the possession of the family of the
original donor is that Lady Shovel re-
ceived it from the mtrderess as stat
ed, and bequeathed it at her death to
Lord Berkeley. Several old works of
reference contain the baseless story
that Lady Shovel was aboard the Asso-
citation and was drowned along with
her husband. BY the way, her lady
ships ghost is supposed to walk at
in the avenue of May Place.

TIE DOMINANT RIGHT.
A Sinister Superstition" and Its e.
fects Upon the Human Mind.

A Sinister Superstition" and Its &c.
fects Upon the Human Mind.
1t took a whole generation time of
experiments and mechanics to learn
that the engineer must stand or sit on
the right side of his engine or cab in
order that he could look ahead with
his right CT dominant eye only, and
without sticking his entire head out,
as he would have to do IL he sat or
stood on the left side. The railroad
men never learned why this is so, do
not know why today, and to make the
desirable change in two American
left passing double track railroads,
while II would finally avoid expense
and accidents, would cost at once
many millions of dollars. Thousands
of years ago knights and men fighting
on foot or horseback had to approach
and pass each other on the left in or
der to strike or spear each other with
the right hand while the shield hand
held the shield or the reins. The rail-
way engineer, civil or locomotive,
does not know that the knight was
his right-handed and right-eyed pro-
genitor and endower.
A flood Of light is thrown upon his
tory, sociology and medicine. espe-
cially upon psychology, neurology and
psychiatry, by left-handedness and its
sequels. OF every million born at
least 10000 probably more, are natur-
ally left-handed, so that in the United
States there are nearly 5000 900, and
In the world more than 100000,
thus handicapped. An indefinite pro-
portion Of these have been or are be-
Ing doubly cursed by the efforts of
the foolish parent or teachers to make
them right-handed.. Sad suggestions
and illustrations of the baleful results
OF the work of these improvers of ma
ture exist In such simple facts as that
right" which should mean only dex-
trail or hight-handed has come to mean
good, moral, advisable; and left" or
sinistral, has become sinister, awk-
ward. unlucky, to be avoided, both per-
son and thing. 'DeAterity" and "dex-
trousness," properly meaning only
"dextrality," have become synony-
nous with expertness and exceptional
proficiency, whereas everybody knows
that the left-handed person, IL purely
so, Is as cunning of hand as the right
handed. Even the superstition of the
"evil eye'-the non-dominant one
teaches the same lesson. In all ages
and now surely, there are everywhere
