/, A SUIT FOR
SPURIOUS RELICS


remarkable suit has just been
decided IN a British court. A Greek

contained piece OF the cross on
which Christ was crucihed, and one
If the nails that had been used In
tbe crucihxion. Being a Mohamme-
dan he had no reverence for the
precious relics, and wanted to dis
pcse OF them to q Christian pur-
chaser. He had some idea of the.
value that they should have in Chris
tIan eyes, and wanted high price.
An English collector Of curiosities
visited Constantinople while a pur-
chaser was being sought, and the
Greek introduced the Turk to him.
The collector was doubtful about the
relics, for he knew that many spur
lous articles of the kind were in ex-
istenee. But II they were genuine,
It would be easy to sell them at a
profit. Finally. after some negotia-
lion. be offered to take them to sub
init to experts, and undertook, If they.
proved genuine, to pay s3S75 for
them The antiquarians at the Brit
ish Museum declared them to be
spurious, and the collector therefore
refused to purchase them. There
upon he was sued for the money.
Being spurious, they were worthless,
but II they had proved genuine their
value would have consisted In their
association with an event so sacred,
that to make them a matter of bar
gain and sale would have been shock
ing to the Christian mind. That
there are men capable Of engaging in
such traffic need not, however, occa-
sion surprise. There are some men
so set upon the making of money that
nothing is too sacred for them to
use in the pursuit Most Of the de-
iaulteTs that are brought to justice
wore the cloak of piety to divert sus-
picion. It has always been so. Even
in apostolic days a man had the
audacity to propose a bargain for
the use Of the Holy spirit.-Chris.

Professor f. B. MumforG, of the
Missouri Station, in giving a sum-
mary of the work done in feeding
sheep, showed that sheep produced
more meat from a pound of grain
than any other farm animal. It was
shown that pound Of mutton can be
produced from about half as much
grain as a pound of beef Even the

grain to produce a pound Of human

BEDROOM VENTILATION.

Simple bedroom ventilation may be
accomplished in several ways, as by
raising the lower sash a few inches
and putting a strip Of wood under it,
or better plan is that which consists
in lacking strip of cloth or heavy
paper, ten or twelve inches in width,
across the lower part of the window.
In this way the lower sash can be
raised almost as high as the top of
the screen, and no draught will be
felt
Another method consists OF a piece
Of wood which shall fit under the
lower sash when raised, and into
which two or more elbows are insert
ed. These elbows are usually from
five to six inches in diameter, and
bent upward, thus directing the cur
rent Of air upward. The openings in
the elbows should be covered with
fine wire screens to exclude dust

pIcKING up PoTAToRs.

Many styles of potato diggers have
been invented, even to one. which we
mentioned lately, that is called a hand
digger, and supposed to take the place
of other hand tools and expedite the
work.
The latest is one described by the
Denver Field and Farm It is not
specified that 1t differs materially
from others, except that the potatoes
as dug, drop on an elevator which
carries them up into a wagon driven
along by the side of the digger, as
it works. after the fashion Of the old
style wheat headers.
This would save much back aching
work in picking UP the potatoes, but
unless it was so made that il would
sort them as carried up, they would
have to be all handled over, again,
before shipping Still it might prove
to be a labor saving implement. The

CAMEMBERT CHEESE.

There is large demand in all
cities for Camembert cheese, and as
it brings a high price, its manufac-
ture is recommended, under certain
conditions, by the Department Of Ag-
ficulture. At present, practically all
of this cheese is imported, A few
years ago Secretary Wilson inquired
into the question of its possible man
ufacture in this country, in further
ance Of his policy Of making every
thing possible at home, and he con-
cluded that there was no reason why
we should not make at least all the
Camembert cheese that we consumed,
and thus keep our money among our
own people. So experiments we're be-
gun about three years ago in co-op-
Grafton with the Connecticut Expert
ment Station, which have proven en-
tirely successful. The present status
of the matter is that this cheese pro-
duced IL America, considered in
every respect equal to the imported
article, is now being manufactured
at the storrs Station and the Govern
ment is ready to assist factories and
individuals in going into the business.
The station has already issued bull
letin describing the equipment neees-
sary and giving detailed directions
for making this type OF cheese.
