Factors in SiIo.

There are at least three factors that
should be kept in mind in building a
silo, namely, the walls should be
smooth and perpendicular, they must
be air tight. In order to avoid the
expenditure of unnecessary labor in
getting the ensilage out, it is neces-
sary to place doors continuously from
the bottom to the top.

At Second Hand.

A highland laird who could not
afford to keep his own piper was
accustomed to employ the village
piper when he had company. On
one occasion, through some over
sight, Donald had not been given
his preliminary glass Of whisky be-
fore he began his performance. Ac-
cordingly he found his bagpipes in
a most refractory temper. The
laird asked him what was the mat
ter, and Donald replied that the
leather was so hard that he could
do nothing with it.
"What will soften it. ?" asked the
anxious laird.
"Och, just whushJ p said Don

brought, which Donald Immediately

KAvE PROTECTION FROM FIRE
Nature Has Provided the Pine with
Remarkable Safeguard Against
the Flames.

Pines protect themselves against
dorest fires in a remarkable manner,
Bays Harper's Weekly. For four or
Five years the stems of the infant
frees attain height of only as many
Inches above the soil. During this
time their bark is extraordinarily
thick, and that alone gives some pro-
lection. But, in addition, the long
needles spring up above the stem,
and then bend over on all sides in
green cascade which falls to the
Rfpund in q circle about the Seeding.
This green barrier can with difficulty
be made to burn, while the shade
that it casts prevents infammable
grass from growing near the pro-
tected stem. The officials of the for
estry service at Washington are of
the opinion that it is owing to this
peculiar system of self-protection
which the pine seedlings have de-
veloped that the growth Of evergreen
oaks in Florida has been restricted
in regions where fires have ragged,
while pine forests have taken their
place.

CENTURY OF MARRIED LIFE
Unique Anniversary Recently Cele.
brsted in Village Of lson-
balg Hungary.

a ceremony which very probably
has never had its equal in the his
tory Of anyone up to this time was
celebrated lately in the little village
Of Isonbalgi, in Hungary.
It took place to commemorate the
marriage of the couple Szathmari,
united for exactly 100 years. The
husband is 100 years of age and the
wife 116. Their descendants count
together more than $50 persons.
The two old people, who inhabit a
quite modest little cottage, are very
much loved by their neighbors, who
surround them with every possible
care. They are, however, almost
quite blind and deaf.
They pass their time away mostly
in sleeping. Still, occasionally the
old man smokes a little pipe with
evident satisfaction, and enjoys a
glass of wine.
The queerest thing about their
whole life is that this old couple
have never quilted their village
they were both born there Their
life has been passed there quietly
and peacefully, and never has a wish
arisen in their minds to know any
thing of the vast world which lies
beyond their narrow horizon.-Stray

SAYS DOGS HAVE FASHIONS"

"People who doubt the fact that
there is such a thing as fashion in
dogs" said a dealer, would be con-
xinced if they owned some expensive
Spitz dogs at the present time. Once
upon time they were popular and
brought good prices, but at. present
they cannot be given away" This
breed was spoken of because of the
report from Europe that the Spitz
was coming back. At the recent
bench show in Berlin many dogs of
this breed were shown and sold at
high prices and his specialists" pre-
dicted "a long Spitz season."

NO LONGER PINE TREE STATE
Maine Seems to Have Preferred Ae-
quirement of Riches to Retain
ing Good Name.

New England statisticians are a
little slow in discovering that Maine
is no longer entitled to be known as
the Pine Tree state. Twenty years
ago the head of the Maine Central
railroad, when asked where a con-
sumptive could take refuge to get
the full breath of the pines, answered
that no pines had been left in Maine
for a long time previous. Spruce
there still is in some abundance, but
it is fast falling before the ak of the
lumberman, just as fell the statelier
evergreens.
Now that the pines are gone the
cry is raised that they might have
been saved in a large measure if in
the early days of the onslaught upon
our resources any intelligent effort
toward conservation had been at
tempted. Scientific forestry is stead
fast to protect, but slow TO rebuild,
and the majestic forests that gave
Maine her fame can be known no
more. With the full knowledge that
a good name is rather to be chosen
than riches, Maine deliberately suf-
fered the sacrifice of the one for the
other.

HATS IN LONDON.
Unless You Wear One Of Three Kinds
You Are a Marked Man.

| you are MARKED wan.
When some years ago one Of the
doorkeepers at London theater re-
tired from his drafty calling and
was pensioned off by the manage
ment it appeared that this old man
in all the years of his service had
never given "pass out" check to
any one of the thousands of men
who must have passed his doorway.
But he never made a mistake.
No one entitled to return was ever
refused, and no one could pass in at
the end Of the interval who had not
passed out at the beginning of it.
The secret of the old mans sue
cess was a curious one. He depend
ed on his memory entirely, but he
had trained his memory in a very
curious way. He did not remember
the men by their faces, their
clothes, their hats, their boots or
by any popularity of gait or ap-
pearance. Manifestly such a feat
would have been impossible, for or
dinary "pitites" are very much
alike in these details.
He took the one detail on which
men do differ and remembered them
by that-he recognized them by
their neckties.
Gaze around you in the railway
carriage as you are reading this ar
ticle and ask yourself if there is any
of your fellow passengers that you
could remember well enough to rec
ognize again in, say, an hours time.
You will find there are very few
people you could be sure of. There
may be one old man with a large
and conspicuous white beard or
very young man with a pair of spec
tacles of unusual size. But nine out
of ten have the same sort of. hat,
the same sort of clothes and the
same sort of figure.
The Londoner, in fact, seems to
be standardized. He is built on a
settled pattern. He is modelled to
a type. His necktie is his sole bit Of
variety.
Into this world of standardized
human beings comes, let us say, a
colonial. Mighty London, with her
vast crowds swarming over four
counties, swallows him up. Yet
somehow he preserves his individ-
uality. He is conspicuous wherever
he goes. He feels that all London, |
as far as it has time, is staring at !
him.
Cabmen persistently hail him.
The map sellers in the Strand pes
ter him as he passes. Those very /
acute people-the confidence" men .
sight him afar off. But it is not |
his necktie that distinguishes him,
or his face, or his clothes, or his
walk. The conspicuous feature Of
the newly arrived coloniaFs outfit
is his hat.
London permits three sorts of
hat-the top hat, the bowler and in
the summer the straw. Any break
from this settled order is to make
yourself conspicuous London Mir
ror.

Unexpectedly Became a Model.

An authoress Of note was once
in Naples and very much desired to
know Morelli. the famous painter,
but could find no one to act as in
termediary. So at last she took
her courage in her hands and re-
solved to introduce herself, but not
without qualms. AS she approached
she found the studio door open, one
more cause for embarrassment, and,
pushing a curtain to one side, stood
before the artist at work, who, look
ing at her absentmindedly, said
"These lines seem to be all right.
What do YOU say?" And to her
murmured response he went on
''But the eyes of the nuns do not
suit me. Pray sit down a moment.
Yours are just the thing" q
With inward delight the lady sat
down and acted as model for an
hour and a half, during which
writer and artist talked as though
they had been friends all their lives,
At a certain point Morelli stopped
abruptly, took off his glasses, peered
at his handsome model and said,
"But, excuse me, who are you?"

 Because I did not think of it
