 Return.

New York, Dec. 23 LThc peaceful coup detat by General Juan Vicente Gomez, acting president of Venezuela, has saved tho country from the throes of another insurrectlon which for sev- era months has been secretly in prep araton in this city and, according to the promoters, was on the point of be- Ing begun,
 Not since the establishment in New York, in 1895 of the cuban revolution ary Iunta had there been, 1t is said, such careful preparations in this coun- try for an armed uprising as that which General Nicolas Rolando tried Venezuelan fighter, has been making and which is for at least the present, put aside pro bono publlco.' Tho fol- lowers of General Rolando organized q junta in August last which authorized the issuance of gold certificates to the amount of sl0O0,0 00O These certificates of a par value of si 900 each, were signed hy General Rolando, as presl- dent of the junta, and Vicanor Bolet, as treasurer, and were made payable at the Windsor Trust Co. one year after President Castro's resignation Tor dls- missal' from office. The junta had also fiscal agents and counsel. both well known fin their professional spheres. They were respectively. George w. Young and O., and John k. Dos Passo.
 Through the advice of the latter every requirement of International neutrality laws and international comity was complied with, even to the four shipments of arms and ammun- ltion that have already gone forward to points in the West Indies but will now probably not be used Even as tho cable was bearing its message from Caracas of the overthrow of Castro and his government, the iunta was in negotiation to buy the fast steam yacht Seneca belonging to the estate of Theodore E. Hostotter. Cen eral Rolando was all ready to sail next Monday on a Dutch steamer for Trinidad, there to gather his chiefs and invade Venezuela. He adhercs to his intention to sail next Monday but his object is to join his family in Trinidad and there await further de- vclopments under the new regime, He

HERE COMES SANTA He Put in an Early and Vel come Appearance at the
 City Mission. SUNDAY SCHOOL R0MPS First He Sent Letter and Then Came Himself-Addrcss by Pro-
 lessor Granville.

At the City Mission yesterday after noon over one hundred children of tho Sunday school department hur- rahed and shouted as Santa Claus trotted up the aisle on his horse.
 1t was the first event over which the big Christmas tree presided, and 1t was one of the best ever held. At 4:30 the children sang a Christmas hymn, and then MT. Mossman read from the Scripture, After prayer by Rev. Mr. Lent, and some more songs, Mir. Lent spoke few words of vel come to the children. Prof. Granville of the Sheffield Scientific school fol- lowed and told of his experiences as boy in log cabin home at Christ mas time among the Indians. When he concluded by wishing the children Merry Christmas, with one voice they responded "The same to you"
 At this point communication was received from Santa Claus as follows:
 Dear Big Folks and Little Folks at the City Mission
 Your old friend Santa Claus is on the way as fast as he can come Sleighing is pretty poor around these parts, and l don't believe l will be able to get through on time with the deer and sleigh, but l will be there if have to come on roller skates so don't give up in despair for l want to see you all once more as badly as you do me. I am anticipating a happy few moments with the children whom \ love so dearly. Yours on the way,
 SANTA CLAUS.
 Superintendent Cleaveland's read ing of this letter was greeted with shrieks of joy and the eager cranlng of many necks to catch the first glimpse of the jolly saint. Before his arrival, however, several of the little tots in the primary class gave Christ mas recitations, and the whole class sang some Christmas carols. Miss Grant, of the Yale music school, sang a Christmas hymn most beautifully.
 Just then the candles on the huge tree were lighted and Santa, in the person of George K. Jewell, burst in to the room for his annual antics with the children. Amidst great excite mont the oranges, popcorn balls candy and presents were then distrlb- uted, and 1t was all over, all too soon.
 Out of It's own penny contributions taken in during the year the children, believing it better to give than re-" ceive, voted $5 to the children of each of the following institutions New Ha- ven hospital Grace hospital New Ha- ven orphan asylum, St. Francis or phan asylum, tho day nurseries, Sal vatlon Army, Christian Army.

ficulty by the use of a team. A chain
should be fastened about the stump.
allowing a good length to the chain.
The chain should be stout one, espe-
, cially If large posts which are firmly
set are to be taken out. When stumps
or posts are to be removed, spring Is
the best time to do the work, as the
ground is then moist and the post
comes out more easily. Sometimes
when boundaries are to be moved,
fields changed in outline or new fences
erected a great many posts must be
removed in a very short time, and un-
less some mechanical device were
adopted for fastening the work it
would take quite long time.
OF the many post pullers now in use
perhaps the one here shown is the most
serviceable. 1t should be made of an
old buggy axle or any other old piece
of iron of about that size and used as
shown. With this tool one man will
pull more posts i'll day than with any
other tool the writer ever beard of,
and two men with two of the tools can
easily remove the largest telephone or
telegraph poles.
Posts may be driven with speed and
economy on many farms if well sharp
ened and the right method is followed.
A real post driver is one of the most
easily made things and one of the most
useful that a farmer can get up. Up
rights are bolted across to a sled, or a
,N1o oil hn
The standards may be twelve or fif-
teen feet high. To them is bolted a
crossbar which supports the hoist for
the weight. For this block of iron or
lead weighing not less than twenty-five
pounds must be obtained, and it must
have a staple or ring in it so it may be
lifted. The post is placed where it Is
to be driven and the weight lifted and
allowed to fall on it. A little practice
will enable one to drive posts in soil
that seems too hard. The rig is useful
also in putting down driven wells.
To drive well an inch and quarter
pipe is preferred. The lengths should
be driven must have a point of iron on
steel Any blacksmith who is an expert
at welding can readily make a point
solid in the end of the pipe and then
bore numerous quarter inch holes in il
for the first eighteen inches Of its
length above the point. Before driving
coupling must be screwed down tight
and fast on the thread that is to con-
meet it to its mate, so the thread may
not be injured; also on top of this
coupling must always rest a block of
lead or seasoned hickory to receive and
distribute the conclusion.
The pipe is driven the same as a
post, another length being attached as
fast as one is sunk in the ground. One
rule must never be forgotten-each
length of pipe must be threaded so long

test milk accurately, but a man who
Is not equal to it has no business to be
in charge of dairy farm.
In some sections COW testing asso-
Citations have been formed, and spe-
cial agents do the testing, and much
good work is being done along these
lines by the New Hampshire Agricul-
tural college. The dairy division of
the college has taken much interest in
the matter of encouraging farmers to
test the product Of their herds For
some time Professor Rasmussen has
been sending out sample boxes to In
terested dairymen. The box carries
fifteen sample bottles. These have
the preservative already added, so all
the farmer needs to do is take the sam
pies according to directions and then
return the box to the college. The
sampling dipper is an ingenious device
made by fastening a wire to a car
fridge. Full directions accompany each
box, SO a farmer will be able to take
samples accurately. The box Is re-
turned to the college and the samples
carefully analysed and report made
back to the dairyman. Then II the
farmer has kept account of the num-
Der of pounds Of milk the animals
gave he can figure out what his ami
mails are doing.
Too Much Work TO Know.
The Canadian Dairyman makes q
good point in the following;
Ash hundred farmers why they do
not keep a record of their cows. and
ninety-nine win tell you it is too much
work. How they know, having never
tried it, is mystery. But they think
so, at any rate. Too much work
They never tell you it is too much
work to keep twenty cows to do the
work of ten. They never tell you it is
too much work to labor all summer to
put up food for cows that cannot pro
duce butter fat enough to pay for the
food they eat. They see right into the
work of keeping these records, but
they cannot see these other things.
The time required for weighing and
recording the milk has been estimated
at one minute per day for each COW
The dairyman thus knows every day
exactly what each COW Is doing, and
If COW gets off her feed or is wrong
in any way it will be detected in the
shrinkage Of her milk at once, wher
immediate attention can be given hel
and often fatal results avoided.
In summing up at the end Of the
year the dairyman will be surprised al
he compares the records of the severa
cows in his herd. His milk record
will be correct, and his milk tester viii
not deceive him, and he should prompt
ly eliminate the improbable paupel
boarders from his herd.
