TO EvADE ARMY SERVICE.

Some Clever Tricks Resorted to by
Conscripts Abroad
In the countries of Europe in which
the military CONSUMPTION exists many
tricks are resorted to by conscripts in
order to escape service. Often men
have been known to mutilate them
selves, as by cutting off a forehnger,
in order to render themselves unfit for
the service. Pretended inability to see
is exposed by the surgeons without
great difficulty, but pretended eafness
sometimes battles the examiners.
A counter trick on the part of the
officers was for some time effective
against this fraud. The recruiting Of
ficer, after a conscript had pretended
to be deaf, remarked in an ordinary
tone of voice: You are unfit for the
service. and are, therefore, free In
many cases the recruit showed by evil
dent signs Of satisfaction that he had
heard the remark.
He was then recalled, told that he
had been detected in his fraud and
sent to the barracks.
After a time, however, the conscripts
became too wary to be caught in this
trap. They had heard of the trick and
were consequently on the lookout for
this remark and when 1t was uttered
they made no sign of intelligence.
Lately the French officers have in
vented new trap, the success OF
which is a curious illustration of the
ingrained courtesy, or at least the as
sumption of courtesy, on the part Of
F'renchmen of all classes.
After the You are free" has failed
to excite any sign of understanding in
the recruits face the command to go
is shouted at him. He starts out of
the room, the door of which is held
open by mechanical means. AS he pass
es through it the officer says:
you might at least shut the door 20
This little unjust impea chment of
the mans politeneSs is said in nine
cases out Of ten of pretended deafness
to result in a quick turning of the
mans head. He is then called back
and told that he has been found fit for
the service.

NEW MEXICO.

Old Order OF Things Is Now Yield
ing to the New.
The Territory of New Mexico. which
has been knocking for admission into
the slsterhood of States, has witness
ed a great struggle In the last few
years between the old and the new
order of things, and the old has been
forced to give way. The ancient adobe
churches erected by the Spanish friars
when the 10 colonies were In their
swaddling clothes, still stand, and the
old bells that were cast in Spain at the
height of that nations glory still call
devout worshipers to service. But

side of Trees-Works at Night.


Apis, zonata, or the large Philippine
bee, builds on the outside of the tree
instead of the inside, as other bees do,
usually on the under side of a slanting
tree or branch, They are not migratory
as the Borneo and Indian bees are, nor
do they always select high trees to
avoid honey bears as their Borneo cous-
ms have TO do. They frequently store
several pounds of good honey, yet they
are greater wax producers. They are
exceedingly vicious when disturbed, oft
en- following their disturbers several
minutes.
This bee is probably the largest and
also the strongest OF the entire honey
bee family. Its wing power Is about
double that Of the italian bee, while 1t
lives several times as long, and a sting
or two from Il will cause a person to
see stars In broad daylight. Their combs
sometimes attain or 5 feet in diameter
and are entirely covered with a thick
mass of bees arranged as the shingles
are on the roof of house, their wings
pointing downward.
This bee is a true Filinino, that is, 1t
sleeps during the hottest part of the day
and also on dark nights, though it works
very diligently during the early morning
and tho, evening hours, while on moon.
light nights it frequently works all
night. 1t lis doubtless the only honey

plant Butte projects, under the reela-

and viii reclaim over 100000 acres, at
a cost of something like $4,000, 900.
These government projects rival in i'm
portance the work the British govern

Nile. New Mexico also has an arte-
sian belt which is proving a wonder

water supply. Chaves and Eddy Coun-

Santa Fee, the ancient capital of the
Territory, is one of the most interest

WESTERN CANADA'S CROP YIELD
FOR 1908 WAS SPLENDID.

Americans Pronted Largely and Send
Back Satisfactory Reports.
The census branch Of the Department
Of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada, has
completed its returns of the showing Of
Western Canada's grain yield for 1908,
and the report makes very interesting
reading. In the three provinces Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which comprise what may be known as
Central Canada, there was total
wheat yield Of about 1o7 ,o00,o BUSH
els, worth to the farmers about $685.
100000; In addition to this the oat,
barley and fax crops were worth an
other $50, 100000, Letters have recent
ly been received from many Of the set
tiers from the United States. From
these, that of Rev. Oscar L. King has
been selected. He lives in the Vicinity
Of Edmonton, Alberta, and what he
says witt be Of interest to those who
contemplate moving to Central Can
ada. Every line Of the letters Is inter.
esttng. Those who wish for further
particulars as to how to secure home
steads and prescriptions, should write
any Canadian Government agent MFR,
King says:
l am well satisfied with Alberta.
This country offers excellent opportuni-
ties for anyone to make good home
for himself and family If he is willing
to put up with few hard knocks for
the first two or three years. But it is
worth a few hard knocks to get a 100
acre farm Of rich productive land with
no mortgage on 1t. This province is
well fitted for grains, stock raising and
dairying. We have found the climate
generally healthful. more healthful
than Michigan, and although the Their
mometer sometimes drops to 40 de-
grees below zero in winter, yet we do
not seem to feel that temperature any
more than we did 5 or 10 degrees be-
low zero in Michigan. We like the
winters.
The Government takes great interest
in the education of the people and
quickly aids the settlers in establishing
schools where they are called for. The
schools though graded differently than
those in the States are efficient and adj
vancing. Our great drawback has been
the limited and inadequate railway ia
cilities, but new roads are being rapid
ly built and many more are projected
through various parts of the province.
The new policy Of the Alberta Govern
ment to construct great many branch
lines throughout the province will
greatly help all parts of the country.
If those new settlers who have to go
back a considerable distance from ex-
listing railroads and towns to find free
homesteads will but locate along the
line of a projected railroad they will

Tronhlesnme Small Animals.

Farmers who live near the Blue noun
tains, in Length county, are greatly
bothered with foxes, minks and weasels,
and the farmers who live along the low
lands have their land spoiled by the
muskrats and the skunks. n crusade has
been declared against these animals and
the farmers expect to exterminate them
by trapping and shooting.
More than 1000 pelts have been
shipped from New Tripoli during the
last week Among the most successful
trappers were the following: r.. Stump
and c. Frey, who had forty skunks,
thirty-six oppossums and thirty-four
muskrats: W. Oswald, six minks; j.
