Artichoke Thrives at
Connell.

While at Connell with the farmers
educational train last week, Professors
Elliott, Thatcher, Lawrence and Sew
erance, accompanied by several of the
railroad men of the party, visited the
demonstration farm which the college
has started near Connell to experiment
with the crops which will be suited to
the ligth soil and dry climate of that
region. The farm has so acres and
this is being devoted exclusively to
experimental work Professor Elliott.
who had not visited the farm for some
time, was impressed with the work
being done and the success which is
attending the efforts of the college
One Of the best crops growing on the
land IS the artichokes, and from the
way this plant is thriving it is be-
ljeved that the staff has found some
thing adapted to that soil and a plant
which viii prove one of value to the
country. Artichokes are primarily
hog feed, but they are used to some
extent for food for man. Professor
Severance, who has had much to do
with the work at Cornell, says that so
far as they could discover, not a single
hill Of the artichokes had failed to
grow. The wheat crop on the farm
promises WELL some of it being ex-
pccted to yield IS bushels an acre.
The wheat was planted in different
ways for experimental purposes. Some
of it was drilled in rows q inches
apart and the ground between these
rows cultivated. Another patch was
drilled ID inches apart, and a third
field was drilled with an ordinary drill,
with the rows but inches apart. That
drilled in the wider rows has stooled
out immensely and has better heads,
but whether it will yield better than
the other plats can not be determined
until harvest,
One feaure which pleased all who
visited the farm was the healthy con-
dition of the trees planted on the
tract. All of these have lived and
show good growth, a fine color and
appear perfectly healthy.
Those in charge of the farm feel
confident that results will justify the
expense of conducting the farm, which
was supplied by the business men of
Council.

Doubling Up.

Speaking of doubling things" re-
minds me of story | once heard
of a little girl whose name was Su-
zie. This particular Suzie had a
habitsof saying "g-o-o-d, good" and
"w-o-o-d, wood" and she used to
look so funny when she spelled
words in that fashion that, like
Mary's little lamb, she always
caused a commotion in the school
room.
So one day the teacher said: ''Su-
zie, dear, you mustn't say good
Say g-double cd. Try to remem-
Der, my child"
Just then they came to the old
familiar phrase in the regulation
first reader: Cup, up, Jane! The
sun is risenw 1t was little: Suzie's
turn. Looking up with cute smile
to catch the look Of sympathy and
approval she felt sure she merited
for remembering the rule Of ''dou-
bling things" said she, without
even a sign of hesitation: Double
up, Jane! The sun has risen!"

A Notable Performance.

A member of the school board OF
Philadelphia describes a unique
schoolhouse in northern Pennsylva-
MIA, where the schoolmaster keeps
his boys grinding steadily at their
desks, but sometimes permits them
to nibble from their lunch boxes as
they work.
One day the pedagogue was in
structing class in arithmetic when
he noticed that one pupil was de-
voting more attention to a piece OF
pie than to his lesson.
"William," commanded the stern
mentor, ''will you pay attention to
the lesson ?"
'1'm listening, sir" said the boy.
Listening, are you?"' exclaimed
the master. "Then you're listening
with one ear and eating pie with
the other p'-Harper's Weekly

Sheep as Beasts of Burden.

To the northern part of India
sheep are put to use unthought OF
in European or American countries.
They are made to serve as beasts of
burden. The mountain paths along
the foothills of the Himalayas are
so precipitous that the sheep, more
surefooted than larger beasts, are
preferred as burden carriers. The
load for each sheep is from sixteen
to twenty pounds. The sheep are
driven from village to village, with
the wool still growing, and in each
town the farmer shears as much
wool as he can sell there and loads
the sheep with the grain which he
receives in exchange. After his
flock has been sheared he turns it
homeward, each sheep having on its
back a small bag containing the r
chased grain.

To the Bishops Taste.

The late Bishop Green on one of his
diocesan visitations stopped with an
old friend at Sewanee, Tenn.
At supper the bishop said he would
have nothing but dish of bonny clab-
Der, little nutmeg sprinkled over.
There amt bit of nutmeg in the
house." exclaimed the maid when the
request was repeated to her.
Dear mep' said the hostess. go
to Mrs. Darlington, next door, and ask
her to lend me a nutmeg"
Mrs. Darlington also was out of nut
meg.
'Then go to Mrs. Harding. on the
other side; then bring the bishop the
dish quickly"
The hostess kept up rapid fire of
bright talk to cover the hiatus in the
service until the maid appeared with
the desired dish
What an addition is little sprin-
kle Of nutmegp' said the bishop
what fine relish it gives!
When the good guest had retired the
mistress said to the maid. go to the
grocery store the first thing in the
morning and get nutmegs, and return
the nutmeg to Mrs. Harding and
"But Mrs. Harding was out Of nut
megs too"
"Then where did you get any?'

One Of the Peculiar Forms of ihe AMI
NAL Life of the Sea.

Upon the sand at the waters
edge there lies a particle of jelly
like substance, inconspicuous and
almo.t invi if'aIT il ca <i'-..i I.
one moves IN So il d world OF Won
ders, the merest atoms of tissue
are seen to be informed with such
varied and vivid life, that [ lift the
particle carefully upon a shell and
drop it into jar of water to see
strange embodiment, a beautiful
transformation The central mass
expands into a double chambered
bell Of pure and transparent yes
ture, and these gossamer globes be-
gin to contract with regular rhyth-
mic motion, lifting the creature up
ward and softly urging it forward
by their quickly repeated pulsa-
tions. while from below four grad
ually lengthening tentaclcs trail
backward with graceful undulations.
This beautiful mcdusa. the Sarsia
mirabilis, is the earliest of our jelly
fishes to appear in spring. By its
pleasing and graceful form, by its
eager and tireless movements, it
seems to visit our shores at this sea-
son almost like an Ariel of the deep,
voiceless, it is true, but throbbing
with its message that the oceans
submerged shores and it's dark abys-
NAL chasms are all alike awakening
to the spirit that transforms the
upper world. One is at loss to
comprehend these creatures, so diff
ferent in form from any that we are
wont to associate with animal life,
for, although without head, they
are yet capable of sensing the light
and auditory vibrations. Without
hands, arms or antennae, they are
yet responsive to tactile impressions
and, although of such fragile and
gossamer texture, are yet the vehi-
Gle of vivid and intensive life. The
movements of the body and the
contained impulses that prompt
them seem one and indivisible. The
desires of its being seem themselves
to urge it forward. Like thought
it seems momentarily embodied or
an emotion precipitated into the
visible as it impulsively mounts up
ward in eager quest or in apparent
disappointment relaxes its efforts
and subsidies with all its drifting
appendages a-stream, only after a
moment to palpitate again with re-
freshed intention and slowly pulse
on its softly insistent way.-H. j.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kilne VS. filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily. when unhealthy some part OF
tt is impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many dis
eases and symptoms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot
dry skin. rheumatism, govt, gravel,
disorders, of eyesight and hearing.
dizziness, irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the FL
tiers right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.

OF praise for Doan's Kidney Pills. I

kidney trouble when I began using
them. I had weak kidneys and my

At times, I had dizzy spells puffy
skin under the eyes and it seemed
as if | could hardly breathe. The
kidney secretions were unnatural
and I never felt well. I sent to

Pooling the Lawyer.

"Mr Barr" a gentleman said to a
lawyer at a dinner, Il would like your
opinion on a knotty point of law. An
uncle of mine has peacock, and last
fall it got into neighbours garden and
laid an egg there. The neighbor claim
ed the egg, my uncle claimed 1t as well
and the two have been fighting and
squabbling over the matter ever since
Now, sir. what is the law on the ques-
tion?"
1T is an easy question to settle,
said the lawyer, with a patronizing
smile Admitting that the egg was
laid on the neighbours ground, the
neighbor nevertheless has no claim to
it unless he can prove that the owner
of the bird took no steps to prevent II
from straying. In precedent CASE
Excuse me, but this case has no
precedent"
"Weil, you know more law than l, do
you? I remember distinctly prece-
dent case where
mo, you don't"
"What do you meanw exclaimed the
lawyer angrily.
81 mean that you never heard before
Of a peacock laying an egg," was the
solemn reply.
