where the winters are extreme tbo,o
were shippers who froze their poultry
in the natural temperature. Eggs were
preserved by lime or in salt.
Modern cold storage plants have
been built where food products can ha
Kept in perfect condition. This has been
the cause of the great increase not ONLY
Of the demand but of the possibility Of
supply. The enormous growth of the
trade dates back to the first of these
cold storage plants. Refrigerator cars
have been the essential auxiliary. This
method of transportation has been Der.
fected from time to time until now the
service and the equipment compare ia.
vorably with the progress in any other
branch of the trade.
Nor have these Improvements been
confined to a particular phase of the
Industry. Shippers who formerly had
as their establihment a shed and a few
hencoops now have the most improved
houses and everything is sanitary.
Feeding stations where poultry is fat
tened provide a much better article Of
food than formerly. Farmers, realizing
that the hen is the most profitable
product of the farm. have bought the
finest breeds for eating quality as well
as the most favorable known high-claS

ducers have united for a fight along

herb, growing here which is really in.

It is likely that on account Of its
being extremely small it has escaped
attention. In fact, it seems to have
been overlooked by the botanists also.

among the sensitive plants.
This is an annual herb, and the" EN-.

a deep rich red color. 1t rarely reaches
a height of more than three inches

capable of holding the very small in

lodged in the fluid and disturb these
fibrillae the leaves slowly acquire a
deep cut shape and sometimes curl
completely up over their victim. When
they have absorbed the insect they
slowly recover their original, shape,
leaving only the skeleton of the insect

THE WORD "WINTER."

Said to Have Originally Indicated
Wetness, Not Goodness.
There is a prevailing impression that
there is something in the word win
ter" that signifies cold, and the sea-
son is usually associated with the idea
Of low temperature. but where the
word originated there was little OF
winter as we understand 1t, while
there was a great deal of moisture at
the time the earth was nearest to the
sun, so that it is not the temperature
but the atmospheric condition that has
given us the word.
The word winter" as we use 1T. is
found with but slight notifications in
all the branches of the Aryan lam
guages, for the idea of wetness asso-
ciated with the season was given to II
before the Aryan family was divided.
If we go to the root of the word we
find "wad," with the Specification of to
we'll, to wash out, to mOisten or make
wet. Our Aryan ancestors used that
root to apply to all conditions OF
moisture. and many words besides
winter have grown out of it, wet and
water being among them.
This root "wad" is in the Sanskrlt
as 'udan," water. Anglo-Saxon has
'waeter,' and in Latin we have 'un-
da." wave, from which we get u lin
undate."
Our Danish and Swedish cousins
changed the "w" into a ~" and have
winter" In Icelandic it is "vetir,"
and the old high German has "win-
tar" and it is winter" in German.
These four words are all from the
Teutonic base "wata." which mean
wet. So it has been moisture that has
been indicated from the birth of the
root on which all Of the different words

False Teeth for Dogs.

News comes from London that man,
dentists there have established par.
lors' for the treatment Of dogs, and
that the patronage of the owners Of
''show dogs has made the innovation
a profitable one. A defective tooth may
lose the prize to a dog otherwise per.

common practice with fanciers to send
their pets to the dentist as regularly
as wise parents send their children.

BELLS OF THIN IRON PLATES.

Curfew In Middle Ages-An EARLY
Peal of Bells in Cambridge.
There are several old bells in Scot
land. Ireland and Wales; the Oldest
are often qu%adrangular, being made of
thin iron plates which have been ham
mered and riveted together. At the
monastery Of st. Gall in Switzerland
the four-sded bell Of the Irish mis-
sionary, St. Gall, who lived in the
seventh century, is still preserved but
more ancient still is the bell of st.
Patrick in Belfast, which is ornament
ed with gold and gems and silver fill
gree work.
The curfew bell is that about which
most has been written and said, the
London Globe says. 1t has been
thought that it was only used In Eng
land, but it was quite common on the
continent in the middle ages.
The ringing of bells by rope Is still
very popular in England, especially in
the country, where almost every ham
let, however small, has its church with
its peal of bells, which are often re-
markably well rung. The first real
peal of bells in this country was sent
by Pope Calixtus III. Of Kings Col
lege, Cambridge, and was for 300 years
the largest peal in England. About
the beginning of the year 1900 sets
of eight bells were hung in a few Of
the large churches.
In the middle Of the seventeenth
century a man named White wrote q
famous work on bells In which he in.
PRODUCED the system Of numbering
them 1, 2, 3, 4, ETC., on slips Of paper
in different orders. according to the
changes intended to be rung. It Ia
calculated that to ring all the changes
upon twenty-four bells at two strokes
a second would take Ill, OOO,O 600, 900
years!
One of the most famous bells in
the world is the first great bell Of
Moscow. which now stands in the
middle Of a square in that city and
Is used as a chapel. This bell was
cast in 1888, but was in the earth for
over a hundred years, being raised in
1896 by the Emperor Nicholas. 1t is
nearly twenty feet high. has q circum-
ference Of sixty feet. is two feet thick
and weighs almost 200 tons. The Sec
ond Moscow bell. which is the largest
bell in the world that is actually in
use, weighs 1913 tons. There are sew
eral bells extant which weigh ten tons
and over, of which Big Ben, the larg-
est bell in England, weighing between
thirteen and fourteen tons. is one. Big
Ben is unfortunately cracked.
