One Of Father Times Jokes.

Time makes all things right, but
he likes his little joke as he moves
along. Ten years ago great war
was prosecuted in South Africa by
the British Empire against the Boer-
republic at the instance of British
residents, because the Boer repub
lie placed excessive obstacles in the
way Of one of the inalienable rights
of man the right to a voice in the
government that governs him. To-
day this same old joker Time has
loosely instigated the British resi-
dents of South Africa to organize a
federation which gives no voice in
the government by which they are
governed to any body but persons
of European descent" What the
British fought for in South Africa
ten years ago the only principle
they protested to fight for they

The windows catch the splendor
and flash it back again
In CLEANS of dazzling brightness,
until the glory wanes
And the western sky paints dimly
upon the broken panes.
When the big moon slowly rises up
DER the eastern hills
And all the little valley with weird
enchantment fills;
When through the broken windows
the night winds softly creep,
And the alders by the doorway
their branches gently sweep -
Harkl murmur through the silence
a distant music sweet.
A song of lessons ended, a rush o.

A strain like that of angels in tone
triumphant glad!
And the old room family answers
its voice forever sad.

The Composition of the Upper
Atmosphere.

The composition of the air at al
titudes has long attracted the inter-
est of meteorologists. In the earli-
est ascensions of unnamed regis
tering balloons, twelve or fourteen
years ago, attempts were made to
secure specimens of air from the
upprr strata of the atmosphere. In
one case half a gallon of air was
thus collected. Its analysis showed
a composition identical with that
of air near the earth's surface. The
system of monthly ascensions
which was subsequently instituted
revealed the remarkable phenom-
enon of the permanent inversion
layer" The diminution of temper
allure with increase of elevation
which was observed at all lowe
levels, was found to cease at ;
height of about 10000 meter

WRONG SYSTEM IN PORTUGAL
Land Cut UP Into Portions on Which
Comfortable Living Cannot
Be Made.

Inc Portuguese are an extremely
conservative people. Every man fol-
lows rigidiy the methods employed by
his father and forefathers. IN very
many parts of the country the old
wooden plows are still used.
When man dies instead Of one of
the heirs taking the whole property
and paying the remaining heirs for
their parts the whole property ts d.
vided into as many parts as there
are heirs. More than this, each sep
arate part Of the property is thus di.
vided.
Thus If property consisted of ten
acres OF pasture land. 80 of vineyard
and ten Of grain land, and there were
ten heirs, each heir would receive one
acre each of grain and pasture land
and eight acres of vineyard. This
process has been going on for a very
long time, so that now In the most fer
tile part Of Portugal the land Is di.
vlded into incredibly small portions.
The immediate result of this. accord.
Ing to the United States consular re-
ports, is that the product of the land
is barely sufficient at best to sustain
Its owners. South Of the river Tagus.
on the other hand, there are enormous
tracts OF excellent land lying unused,
but 1t has been found impossible to
induce the farmers Of the north to
move into this region and take up
large holdings.

stockyard and Trade Notes.

A year ago the top of the cattle mar
ket this week was $7.25, against 1925
two years ago. Altho the quality was
pretty good, there were not many sales
during the week above 81. Kansas cat
tie topped the market several times
and Nebraska steers were not far be-
hind. A large percentage of the good
shipping cattle sold at s6.5O@7, and
exporters bought at s6.3O@6.75. Ned
ium to good steers sold at s5.75@6.4 40.
and the light cattle lacking finish went
to killers mostly at $5@5.60, with the
inferior down to $4.65.
About the only complaint that has
been offered in connection with the
market for mixers and springers dur
ing the past week was that the supply
was short Receipts were smaller than
they have been in some time and the
demand was strong. Buyers We're not
inclined to pay much better prices even
for the good ones, because they con-
sidered them plenty high enough. Kill
ers are buying up many of the medium
and common springers at higher prices
than the dairyman will give for them
Most of the good to choice cows sold
at s40@55, with the medium at $3.50
40.
There was an unexpected perform
ance in the calf market last week Re-
ceipts were about 10000. which was
less than previous week and the demand
was better than usual. Early in the
week when most of the receipts came
the market was about steady, but later
in the week hot competition devel-
oped among buyers and prices went up
flying. Selected vealers sold s1@1.50
higher late in the week than at the
close Of the previous week, but the ad-
vance was unnatural and the chances
are that it will all be taken off Tues
day. Top reached $3.50 with many sales
at s6.75@725, which sold at s575@6 a
week ago.
Considering that the weeks supply
of hogs is nearly $4,000 more than
previous week and that shippers have
not taken more than then, the mar
ket has given good account of itself,
closing but IS cents lower.
Joe Miller, prominent buyer at
Linden, had the satisfaction of having
the only load of hogs sold at $40 Sat
urday. They were sold to Comstock &
Co, OF Providence. R. l., and were
bought by Felix Gehrmann.
