less as possible, as thousands Of night
workers have to sleep in the daytime
Among the instances of unnecessary
noises enumerated are loud sirens or
horns on autos or other vehicles. playing
of organs, carting of gathering rails or
other metallic commodities, shouting OF
hucksters. roller skating in pieces, whist
ling peanut roasters, exhaust from motor
cycles, yelling Of barkers for carriages at
hotels and theaters, fat wheels on street
cars, and barking dogs. Several arrests
were made and an effort was made to
execute the order.

Brown is wiry soldier, erect and

- Satan was led in by a common
halter and tied to the ring in the side
of the wall With great leather apron
about his waist, Brown took the shoe
and approached Satan. Quick as
fash the horse wheeled and both feet
shot into the spot where Browns stom-
ach was-but Brown was quicker in re-
moving it.
Then came into play the scientific
blacksmith's tactics, picked up in the
United States army, where bad horses
are plentiful. Advancing to Satan's
side, Brown was ready for the next
spring and caught Satan sharply in
the flank with the point of his elbow
painful grunt was Satan's reply, and
he huddled himself in surprise in s
corner
The smith stopped to lift hoof, and
Satan, without moving his foreparts,
deliberately twisted himself in a posi-
ton to let fly one foot, but Brown
again escaped by springing aside; this
time, however, the smith trapped the
fellow and caught his left foot before
he had the leg stiffened There was
a struggle. Brown slipped knee un-
der the hoof and cruelty pressed down,
crumping the leg so that Satan stood
still, while the hot iron was pressed
against his hoof then Satan's hoof was
released. For the first time he took
good look at the man who dared.
When the shoe was ready to nail
Brown again approached the horse
The same tactics were adopted, except
| that at the crucial moment Satan, in.
stead Of merely twisting himself,
crouched and jumped forward as far
as his halter would allow and let fy
his left foot twice so quickly that II
caught Browns hand each time. By.
ISLANDERS heard the bones crush as the
cruel hoofs struck Browns face went
white, his teeth set. and quietly asking
his helper TO take satan's head, the
plucky fellow brought the crippled
hand to bear the best he could, and,
forcing the little sorrel in corner, de
liberately cowed him by the power Of
his eye and his nerve and nailed both
shoes home.
When it was over the smith was wet
with perspiration and almost fainting
from pain. He was taken at once to a
physician. where his hand was dressed

WHEN THE NOON OBSCURFS TIE sun.

The moon, coursing in its orbit about
the earth, cuts off the rays of sunlight
from part of the earth's surface,
making long, narrow, conelike, deep
shadow fsee illustration between q and
%, which the earth intercepts In her
orbital course about the sun. This dark
shadow is called the "umbra," and it
marks the ''total''-or In this case san
nular '-pathway of the eclipse. The
part In the diagram marked U and U
(of lighter shading) is called 1.-THE
penumbra," or almost shade" where
not all the rays of light from the sun
are cut off.
The name "annular'' is given to the
variety Of eclipse where the suns disk
is nearly but not entirely covered or
hidden from us; there remains a mar
row ring" of bright SUI Ight all
around the dark body Of the moon as
1T covers over the disk of the sun. All
eclipses Of the sun are caused by the
moons coming between the earth and
the sun, and this results In either a
partial eclipse. an annular eclipse, or
total eclipse OF this body.

COINS AND FACES ON THEM.
Features of Rulers Abroad, Here TIN
Emblem of I,fherty

Features of Rulers Abroad, Here the
Emblem of Liberty.
Coins of most OF the nations bear
upon them the faces of their rulers In
the United States each coin has an en-
blem of Liberty.
The first coins struck afte. the for
nation of the federal union bore the
face of George Washington. General
Washington disapproyed Of the custom
and it was dropped. 1t has never been
revived.
Portraits of prominent Americans
appear upon postage stamps, internal
revenue stamps and paper money, but
never on coins. And it has been the
custom to use no portraits Of living
men even on the currency and the
stamps.
In England as soon as King Edward
succeeded Queen Victoria the Queens
face gave way to that Of Edward on
all the coins and stamps In the British
empire. The accession OF new ruler
In most monarchies means an instant
change in the designs of the coins.
But there is an exception to the rule
Of no portraits on American coins. The
emblem Of Liberty on the 1-cent coin is
the goddess In an American Indian
headdress, but the face shows no char
acreristics of the North American
aborigine.
It is the face OF little girl, Sarah
Longacre Keen, upon whose head was
placed the feathered ornament Of a
Sioux Indian. Her father was an en-
graver and he placed his daughter
head on the coin.
Sarah Longacre Keen died in Phila-
delphia not long after having served
thirty five years as the secretary of her
city's branch of the Methodist Won
ems Foreign Missionary Society.

Grade stations.

Wisconsin horse breeding Is said to
be in deplorabie condition. Prof.
A. S. Alexander of wisconsin Col
lege of Agriculture, publishes Stats
tics of the department Of horse breed
ing in the University of Wisconsin
College of Agriculture and lays bare
an astonishing and deplorable condi-
ton Of affairs in horse breeding IN
that state, knowledge of which
should lead to strenuous efforts toward
Improvement, in a new bulletin of
the experiment station entitled THE
Grade Stallion Situation in Wiscon-
SIM"
The bulletin shows that, while grade
stations are practically unused abroad
some 1000 Of them are employed for
breeding purposes in Wisconsin, with
a result that proper progress of the
horse breeding industry is prevent
ed. An impressed feature of the bull
letin is a map Of the state showing
the distribution Of pure bred and grade
sires, and another is the striking pho
tographs of grade and scrap stations,
demonstrating the nondescript type and
lack OF quality of such horses.
The disadvantages of using grade
stations are forcibly explained, and
practical suggestions are made as TO
the measures necessary for the eventual
elimination of such undesirable sires.
The bulletin closes with a statement OF
the hitherto unpublished fact that %
per cent of the seventy-five agricultural
fairs of the state either encourage
grade and scrub stations by classes and
premiums, or have entry rules so lax
that such horses are not properly ex-
Guided. Yet all Of these fairs are an
nually subsidized by the state according
to law, bonus money to the amount Of
500. 926.S9 having In 1906 been paid to
the fairs by order of the secretary or
state. DR.. Alexander contends that no
bonus is deserved or should be paid to
any fair encouraging grade animals.

For more than eighteen years Pro
fessor Gillette has devoted much time
and energy to perfecting spray
which would successfully kill off the
codling moth, and at last success has

method to annihilate the codling

but year by year be has improved upon

recent experiments have proved his
complete success.

and its devastations have been pro-
portionately great throughout the en-
