Balzac, the great French novelist.
whose height was q tribe more than

nection between short stature and ex-

ISOLATION to him and to other men who
were not In the tall class. to read In
history that the Roman conquerers
were short. But after the Russo-Japa-
nese war It became evident to all that
stature had nothing to do with the
case, unless. perhaps, the victory Of
the little Jap proved that the short
man was the superior Of the tall. But

NEW COINS CAUSE TROUBLE
George v. 10 Not Pleased With Err
aies on Money Of His Fa-
theirs Reign.

London.-New coinage for King
Georges reign is causing serious
trouble. He has twice rejected de.
signs submitted to him as too close
ly resembling those Of his father
which he never liked, because they
looked more like French than Eng.
Iish coins. He is determined to have
his efigy thoroughly English.
Bertram Mackennal, an Australian
sculptor, who is designing the dies.
having been largely trained in France,
finds 1t difficult to free himself wholly
from the influence of French art.
Another difficulty has cropped out
in connection with India, where the
uncrowued head of Edward VII. made
the natives believe he was not the
king Of all. Then. again, Hong Kong
declares that the sovereign. with the
group Of St George staying the
dragon. is taken by Britain's Chinese
subjects as an insult to them, the
dragon being emblematic of the Chi
nese empire.

Ancient Mexican Industry Ruined
by Modern improvements.
Since Days Of Aztec Lords Small
Band Of Natives Supplied Cana
riss and Other Pet Birds
With DeIicacy.

Mexico City.-When the government
of Mexico decided to drain Lake Tex
coco. just east of the city. in order to
lessen the danger of floods during the
rainy season and also to get at the
rich soda deposits in the bed of the
lake it sounded the doom of one oil
the queerest and most ancient indus.
tries In the new world. that of catch.
ing flies for market.
Since the days of the Aztec lords of
Mexico a small band of natives has
made comfortable living out of the
business Of supplying the canaries and
other pet birds and fine poultry CT the
United States and Mexico with the
delicacy Of dry, sailed flies. Now the
lake Is drying up, TIE flies have dis
appeared, the birds are to go hungry
and the fly catchers have abandoned
their pleasant vocation for the drudg-
cry of digging soda from the bottom
of smelly lake.
Catching flies for market on the
shores of Lake Texcoco has been a
profitable industry since the days of
the Aztecs. Until recent years the
annual production of dried insects
was measured In tons and until this
year was sufficient to AFFORD means
OF livelihood to small colony of ma
tive fly catchers.
These market flies are little
smaller than the ordinary house fly.
Preserved in the natural salts they
were found to be an excellent food
for Gagged birds and chickens and
hundreds of sacks were shipped an
nually to bird dealers In the United
States and Germany.
The insects are caught In nets as
they swarm near the lakes surface,
killed by drowning in the water and
spread out on sheets to
dry. After this simple curing process
they are sacked up and are then ready
for market.
Some are used in this city and the
republic. but the excellent demand
which has grown up for them in other
countries within the last few years
has greatly increased the price and
lessened the local demand. During
the year 1909 more than $40, 900 worth
were shipped to Europe alone.
The profession of fly catching and
by preserving has been handed down
from father to son in few families

SPRAY TO CHECK PARALYSIS
Doctor Tells Of Method to Reduce
Peril to Children From Dread
Disease.

Hartford, Conn.-The state board
of health has announced that anterior
poliomyelitis or infantile paralysis Is
contagious. and difiicult to cure. q
throat spray of some antiseptic solu.
ton being the most effective prevent.
i've.
DR.. Townsend. secretary OF the
state board, said that up to the pres
ent Is cases have been reported to the
state board of health. Thirteen were
in Meriden and three In Sufleld. In
his opinion. the disease in the Sufleld
cases can be traced to Springfield,
Mass. where there was almost an cpl
demic of the disease.
DR.. Townsend said the most effec-
tive way to prevent the spread of dis
ease was absolute quarantine. He
gave its as his opinion thal the fire.
quent cleansing of the throat with an
tiseptic solution would, perhaps, pre-
vent the disease from taking hold OF q
person to an extent that might be
dangerous. The disease was com
municable through the nasal organs
and the throat, and IL the throat was
kept in an antiseptic condition the
danger of catching the disease was
reduced to minimum.

There are differences Of opinion re-
garding the correct arrangement of
eveners and single-trees, and in partic-
ular the lines or reins. The latter de-
ponds much upon the temper of the
horse. One farmer drives several
horses abreast without the use Of lines
or whip. having trained them to go,
back. and turn by queer sounding calls,
writes !. G. Bayley in Popular Ne
chanics. Another farmer drives six
horses abreast with q single pair Of
lines attached to the outsloe horses,
the inside horses being connected with
single straps.
The methods Of Harvesting up from
one 10 six horses abreast are shown
IN the sketch. which has been approved
by several farmers that have had sew
eral years Of experience. The methods
shown are for plows, SCOOPS or road
scrapers. When connecting to wagons
the only difference is I'm the design OF
the last evener, which has q hole In
the center for connecting to the pole
or tongue instead of the chain hook.

are usually made about one-third hesv.

The Best RatIons for Hogs.

The Best Rations for Hogs.
Recent experiments at the Missouri
station prove that corn. good corn. is a
good feed for any animal, and that
there Is no reason for Withholding It
from any animal needing food. At the
same time. 1t Is shown that corn alone
Is not nearly so good or so profitable
q feed as corn supplemented by some
proteid food. such as tankage. linseed
oil meal or soy beans.
In hogs fed exclusively on corn the
animal becomes very fat and chubby,
and does not develop properly; the
bones are brittle and easily broken.
Sixty-five hogs were used in this ex-
pertinent. and they were divided into
lots OF i've each. Twelve different ra-
lions were used, with corn alone in
two OF them, and corn supplemented
with some other feed In the others.
The hogs fed on corn and linseed oil
meal,and those fed on corn and tank
age gained the most; those receiving
corn alone were most unsatisfactory.

Glover for Horses.

An experiment conducted at the Illi-

pound for pound, in putting flesh on
the animals. It is the belief of the
station that its value will be more
highly appreciated as q horse feed
when corn forms all or part Of the
grain ration than where all oats are
fed. Clover hay, being rich In protein,
renders 1t especially valuable for feed
ing young horses.
