are good for you. Now be a good little boy and do

Can't you see Johnny turning defiant little back
upon the apple orchard while he strides manfully in
the opposite direction his small chest swelling with
the determination to be good little boy and do
the things that good for him:
But when she told him to eat green apples
that they were bad for him. what did he do: He
capped his little round cap rakishy the side of
his head determined to vindcate his manhood and
not be a mollycoddle. and hurried the apple

his fat legs and bumped his determined little bullet
head but he never stopped till he had wriggled his
solid little body up to where he could reach the for
hidden fruit Then he hurriedly gulped as many
green apples as his round little tunmy would hold
So long as wives and mothers persist in pointing
out to John and Johnny the things they should not
do, so long will life hold for their husbands and sons

FISHING FOR SHARKS.

Large Specimens Caught on Lines
Along the Mexican Coast.
The shark fishing season is on here
now and furnishes quite pastime
for those addicted to such dangerous
sports. The sharks seem to be boil
der than usual, very large ones conf
ing into Re bay, while generally they
keep ou0toward the entrance.
Recently quite a large one was
caught from one of the piers. 1t
measured over two meters in length
and caused quite an exciting battle
before the fishermen got the second
harpoon intoS it. One morning an
other much larger one was caught by
some fishermen in a boat. 1t was
only subdued after a hard struggle
and finally towed alongside the sea
wall and hoisted out with a derrick.
The animal was near three meters
long and was still alive after being
hoisted out onto the dock and it
slashed around at lively rate, caus-
ing the crowd that had gathered to
see it to scatter in all directions to
avoid it's enormous tail. After be-
ing killed the animals liver was re-
moved and it measured more than
three feet in length. This furnishes
a very fine transparent Oil that is
used for many purposes.
Only short time ago Capt. Wash

caught one of these monsters and
came very near losing out with him,

RAILROAD TURNS GARDENER.
The Canadian Starts in to Raise It's
Own Flowers and Vegetables.

The Canadian Pacific Railway has
gone into gardening. 1t has estab-
lished on land it owns near Winnipeg
model garden of twenty acres and
has started in to raise flowers and
vegetables.
The railroad is not going into the
business for profit, except indirectly.
1t has been in the hotel business for
years, owning and operating many ho-
tells on its line across Canada. This
garden at Winnipeg will supply flow
ers and vegetables for the hotel at
Winnipeg and probably for others to
which quick shipments are possible.
Greenhouses are to be erected be-
fore next winter, so that vegetables
and flowers may be raised the year
round. Bulbs and plants will be prop
agated for the Identification of the
grounds around the company's hotels
and stations all along the line.-Sun.

AND DEsTROYERS.
Types Of Each Rapidly Changing Ia
The British Navy.

The day has gone by when the
torpedo can be regarded as an unre'
liable instrument of war OF strictly
limited use. Today the British Navy
is about to be equipped with tor
pedo which will carry a destructive
charge OF upward of 200 pounds, and
will possess an effective range to
cover at an average speed of thirty
one knots.
Such a weapon, says Casters Mag
aZine, is bound to influence battle
tactics owing to its range and the
accuracy with which it runs. The
new torpedo in association with i'm
proved gunnery methods has already
banished the familiar 6 inch gun from
the newer battleships and battleship
cruisers. One of the urgent naval
problems of today is how to employ
the new torpedo to the best advan-
tage.
1t is realized that it is necessary
to build special vessels for its use:
it is also realized that in view OF
the dangerous character of the SER
vice which will Gevolve upon these
craft it is essential not only that the
British fleet should possess the best
type of TORPEDO craft but that it
should have these vessels in sufficient
number to provide a margin of safe
ty in view of the inevitable casuali-
ties CT war.
The new destroyers differ from
anything which has hitherto been
seen in the British Navy. They are
to have displacement of from $50
to 1,030 tons, with a speed Of TWEEN
ty-seven knots C-ly; they will mount
five II FOUNDER guns, and be fitted
with two torpedo tubes. The build
ing of destroyer is a special trade
based upon scientific data and car
ried out with a deiicacy and accur-
acy CT workmanship which is not to
be found, because it is not required
in larger vessels. The establishments
which devote themselves to the con-
struction of such craft are national
asset Of no mean Importance at a
time when the torpedo is looming
with increasing menace on the hor'
lion. = - -

Her Dime.

Somebody had given the East Side
woman bad dime. 1t was COM
posed largely of lead. She tried to
pass it at several places, but they
are wary for some reason or other on
the East Side. They invariably ring
a dime on the counter once or twice
and bite it besides. When she got
home with the dime it had several
holes in it from the pressure of East
Side teeth. 1T is more impossible
than ever" she said.
The impecunious man called that
evening. He had a dollar with him
which was wholly intact That is to
say, it had not been broken.
81 am afraid they'll give me bad
money for it," he said upon taking
his departure, "over here in these
East Side cars. Will you change it
for me?'
Il shall be delighted" said she.
He called a week later with a
crouch.
You can't seem to get away from
the bad money over here on your
old East Side," he complained.
Somebody or other stung me with
an old lead dime that was full of
holes."-New York Press.

says that there is only one right way
to do this. His method is TO have a
pen built at first. and in this the birds
are placed. For a few days they are
not LED out, but are fed and watered.
Then the pen is opened, and the birds
are allowed to take their own time in
going out and getting acquainted with
the surroundings.
Plenty of feed is scattered about,
and it is not long before the birds
become completely wonted TO their
new home 1t is also necessary that
they have access to plenty OF fresh
water daily.
At the state farm fifty pens have
been constructed and the pens are di-
vided by streets and alleys. The pens
stand ten in a row; the alleys five
feet wide and the streets twelve feet.
The pens are made of AKA posts,
strung with common chicken wire and
covered with the same kind of ma
terial.
Each pen is supplied with two gates.
one in front and one in the rear, and
the pens are SO arranged that birds
may be transferred from one pen to
another without the need of any one
entering the pens. This is done by
the use of movable screens that may
be placed at any desired point in
street or alley, thus acting as checks.
Fronting the highway on which the
farm is situated are four pens for the
keeping of exhibition birds. Each OF
these pens is 100 by geo feet.
The Matching Of the game birds eggs
is all to be done by hens and the farm
is supplied at present with 225 fowls
for this purpose. The game fowls lay
their eggs promiscuously about the
pens and the eggs are gathered by
keeper and placed under a hen. After
the chicks are Matched they are left
with the hen for two months. Then
they are taken away and put in pens
by themselves until they are ready
to be liberated. =.
The raising of the young is quite a
delicate matter; The little fellows
have to be fed on milk curds and mag
gots, and the latter have. to be prop
agated for the purpose. Ant eggs are
an excellent food for them, and these
are imported from Australia, but are
too expensive for general use, =
In tle rearing the game birds brood
ers with outside runs are used so that
the young may come out and be fed
by hand. The breeders are moved
daily to new location, so that they
may be kept in the very best sanitary
condition.
From the water tank water is piped
to the pens and the birds are given
fresh water every day. All the vessels
used for feeding the young are scalded
daily in order to preserve their cleanli-
ness. The chicken pens are sprayed
once week with carbolic solution.
The farm is at present stocked with
two hundred game birds. Nearly all
are imported from Hungary, Germany
and England. The English ring-neck
pheasant promises to become very
popular.
The wild turkeys are imported from
Mexico, and of these there are two va
rleties-one small, another large.
A law has already been recon-
mended to give the farmers the right
to raise such birds as pheasants and
wild turkeys for the market, and it
IS very likely to be adopted.
AS to any injury the game birds may
