1t will be noted that this ration is
a little low in carbohydrates, but is
high in fat. All excess of the latter
is used for the same purpose as car
bohydrates and is p times as strong
in comparison. The excess of fat in
this ration will just about make up
the deficiency in carbohydrates.
1t will be noted that 81 pounds Of
concentrates are used in this ration.
The grain ration should be about one
pound of grain to three pounds of
four per cent milk, and the amount
of grain reduced or increased as the
fat percentage of the milk is lower or
higher than four per cent. This is a
daily ration and should be fed half in
the morning and half at night.

petroleum Forty Centuries Old.

Though it is only within recent
times that petroleum has become an
article of commerce, there is abundant
proof that it was used in the arts 40
centuries ago. The mortar used in con-
structing the walls of Nineveh and
Babylon had petroleum mixed with it
for the purpose of securing greater CO.
hesion and excluding dampness.
Traces of the bituminous matter are
very distinct in the ruins, and the
existence of petroleum springs at Is,
some hundred and twenty miles from
old Babylon, indicates one source of
the supply. In the ancient history of
several eastern countries allusion is
made in unmistakable terms to the
existence of petroleum springs.-New
York American.

was disclosed sitting in the gardea OF
his parsonage, and directly the curtain
drew up there rose such a shout from
the audience that it made poor Marmy
think he must be dreaming. He sat
blinking his eyes at them for a mo-

meant. Then he caught sight of the
groom sitting in the front row of the
circle hurrahing like one mad; the
audience cheered and waved and
shouted like people possessed; for the
groom had told the story at the hotel,
and spread it through the town, just

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint
Is before the painter applies it. The
man who puts up the money should
not ahrk the responsibility Of choos-
ting the paint True, the painter
ought to know paint better than the
banker, the professional man or the
merchant. The trouble is, the house
owner too often deliberately bars the
competent and honest painter from
the job by accepting a bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
job impossible.
