HAVE YOUR FUN IN THE HOME
II People Did So, Much of the Worlds
Misery Would Thus Be
Avoided.

Whatever your lot in life, keep Joy
with you, says Ortson SWEET Marden,
in Success Magazine. 1t is a great
healer. Sorrow, worry, jealousy, envy,
bad temper, create friction and grind
away the delicate human machinery
so that the brain loses its cunning.
Half the misery in the world would
be avoided if the people would make
a business of having plenty Of fun at
home, instead of running everywhere
else in search of it.
NOW for Rest and Fun" NO Bust
ness Troubles Allowed Here" These
are good BODYBUILDING mottos.
When you have had a perplexing
day, when things have gone wrong
with you and you go home at night ex-
hausted, discouraged, blue, instead of
making your home miserable by going
over your troubles and trials, just bury
them; instead of dragging them home
unhappy with them and spelling the
whole evening, just lock everything
that is disagreeable in your Office.
Just resolve that your home shall be
a place fer bright pictures and pleas
ant memories, kindly feelings toward
everybody, and, as Mr.. Roosevelt says,
"a corking good time" generally. If
you do this, you will be surprised to
see how your vocation or business
wrinkles will be ironed out in the
morning and how the crooked things
will be Strengthened

IMMENSE CHUTE FOR TIMBER

One of the longest and largest tim
Der chutes in the northwest, is located
on the klamath river, in the extreme
northeastern corner of Siskiyou coun-
ty, California. 1t is used almost en-
tirely fer shooting" saw logs from
the top Of a mountain down into the
Klamath river. In total length this
great chute is about 5000 feet, and in
places it assumes an angle of about
40 degrees. The chute resembles o
huge trough more than six feet wide
between the two sids at the top. The
bottom and lides are about Is inches
thick, all very securely jointed and
fitted together and, at short inter
walls, strongly anchored to the steep
mountain side.
Most of the Shooting" is done du-
ring the winter months when the
chute is coated with snow and ice,
or kept wet by rains. When big
log is started down the steep slippery
way it gains a tremendous rate of
speed before reaching the rolling
stream at the mountains base-more
than 5000 feet below. So fearful is
the sWiftness that the friction often
scorches both the chute and the bark
on the logs. Only a few seconds are
required for the big log to make it's
journey from top to bottom.

NJ oW-Rurnt Hay,

Heated or 'moWb burnt hay is also
easily recognized, a great deal more
readily than its deleterious properties.
A certain amount of fermentation is
useful for the development Of sound
hay, but when it is carried too far it
becomes injurious, and has a specially
bad effect on the urinary organs.
Smith, dealing with the most impor-
tant points in the curing of hay, from
a veterinary point of view, says: Hay
when stored undergoes further
changes of the nature of fermentation
This improves its flavor and digestf-
bility. If the heating is carried be-
yond certain point, as in hay stacked
before being properly dried, there is
great loss of proteids and soluble car
bohydes, while aldehyde and acetic
acid are formed At the same time
there is a change in color, the hay
darkens, and if carried to an extreme
point turns dark brown color, known
as mow-burnt, due to the temperature
within the NOW"

GOOD HOUSE FOR DAIRY cow
Provision of Airy, Sanitary Buildings
Must Be Matter of First Con-
sideration for Success.
Bv W. r. GILBERTN

CBy W. R CELEBRITY
In dairying the first consideration
is a race of healthy cattle, but mas
much as sanitary accommodation is
inseparably linked with robust con-
stitution and proper feeding in main
tanning the health of the animals the
provision of airy, sanitary buildings
must be matter of the first import
ance.
1t is a positive certainty that a heal
thy race of cattle cannot be maintain
ed Indefinitely in circumstances favor
able to the propagation and develop
ment Of disease germs, and conse-
quenuy, the condition of the sheds in
which the dairy cattle are accommo-
dated is a very proper subject for
thorough inquiry and systematic in
spection.
The subject is an important one
from the point of view of the general
public, but it is of even greater mo-
nent to farmers.
The first essentials in the proper
housing Of COWS are sufficient ventila-
uon and sanitary arrangements that
will facilitate the thorough cleansing
Of the buildings.
In the housing of COWS. as indeed,
Of all classes of stock, it is essential to
discriminate between air space and
ventilation. The two terms are not
synonymous as every practical farmer
knows. Fresh air is essential to the
maintenance of health but large cubic
area is as little a guarantee as it is
an essential of good ventilation
Now, 1t is a fact that those who
should know better, make their de-
n2nd, in respect to fresh air in COW
sheds, for air space, rather than for
frequent air renewal, and by way of
showing the mistaken value of this
idea, 1t may be pointed out that it is
quite conceivable that the air Of a
cow barn containing 600 cubic feet of
air space, and imperfectly ventilated,
may receive less fresh air than that
Of another of half the capacity that is
well ventilated, and at the same time
be colder and less comfortable for the
COWS
The ventilation in many of the exist
ng farm buildings is admittedly de-
fective, but instead of constructing
spacious new buildings at heavy cost
1t would be much more reasonable
and equally effective to devote atten-
ton to the subject of ventilation.
In the present knowledge of such
matters the imperfections of the ex-
Fr,1s
comparatively little expense, and the
sanitary conditions made to comply
with the regulations necessary to
maintain health and to prevent the
pollution Of the milk.

HOW SNAKE WAS CHARMED.

Singing Nearer. My God, to Thee"
three women charmed a rattlesnake
that had just crawled from beneath a
cushion, upon which one of them was
seated, out on the Vale ranch. near
Salt Lake City, the other week
Mrs. F. P. Dunlap and two lady yisi-
tors were seated on a lounge under the
trees when Mrs. Dunlap perceived the
snake. Instantly she thought Of music
charming reptiles, and she whispered
Lets sing" She commenced to hum
the sacred air, and the others, not
knowing why, took it up. The snake,
with head poised, paused, and Mrs.
Dunlap slowly arose and beckoned the
others to follow, which they quietly
did After having gained safe dis
lance the others discovered with as
constituent what their danger had
been. Armed with clubs the women
then killed the snake.

NEW WAY 70 COMMIT SUICIDE

After no fewer than six unsuccess-
full attempts to kill himself a sailor
named Leon Weiss has finally COM
mitted suicide in an original fashion.
A month ago he threw himself into
a canal at Rheims, but was rescued. A
few days later he hanged himself by
his braces on a tree in public
square, but his braces broke. He did
not despair, however, and, drawing
revolver, shot himself twice. He was
taken to the hospital, where he was
cured Of his wounds. A few days aft
erWard, at Loan railway station, he
shot himself just as a train was COM
ing in, hoping to fall beneath the
wheels, but again his life was saved
and he was taken to the hospital. He
managed to tear off his bandages and
swallowed them. Then he obtained
some water and drank it, and this.
with the cotton wool he had swallow
ed, suffOcated him. Thus his seventh
attempt was successful.

Philip Orleans went on the judge
while the law gives me no discretion
as to punishment for the offense OF
which you stand guilty, it is, neverthe
less, within my discretion to name the
place of confinement of the offender.
You will be prisoner of the state of
New Jersey in that place, but you viii
also be my guest of honor during the
ten days. Thus the law will be sat
isf1ed"
So Judge Paradise took Philip Or
leans, who afterward became the cit
izen king of France, to his home and
kept him there in nominal confinement
for ten days. But he entertained his
prisoner as his friend with gener-
Gus hospitality. And when Louis Phil
ippe had become king of France he
sent to New Jersey in the hope that
he might be able to find Judge Para
disc alive and have him become the
guest of king of Paris, in a kings
palace. But Judge Paradise, by that
time, was a very old man and so YVES
compelled to decline the royal inYf
tation
My authority for this unusual story =?
A living great-grandson of Judge Para
disc, Charles J. West of New York
city, who for years was the agent in
this country of the most important
line of French steamers plying be-
tween this country and France.

Judge Paradise Ordered Louis Phil
ipPe, When ExiIed, Confined in
His House for Violating the
Game Laws

Louis Philippe, citizen king of the
French from 1880 to 1848, was an
exile in this country from 1896 to
1900, and most OF that period he spent
in New Jersey.
A famous dispenser of justice in the
lower half of New jersey in those
days was a district judge of the name
Of Charles Paradise. He was widely
known, not only because of his eccen-
tricities, but also because of his great
integrity of character, his profound
knowledge Of the law, and his exceed.
ing great justice.
One day, in the year 1898, when
Judge Paradise was holding court,
there were brought before him two
men in charge of a game warden.
Your fonor, have a complaint to
make against these men," said the
game warden"
What is the complaints" asked the
judge.
4 accuse them of having violated
the state law which forbids the hunt
ing OF deer at this season"
The game warden was sworn and
unfolded his evidence. 81 heard the
sound of shooting" he said, "and l en-
tered the woods and came upon these
two men. They had already shot one
deer. l said to them that they were
violating the law and that 1 must ar
rest them and bring them to court.
That is all I have to say"
The judge turned to the accused.
You have heard the accusation.
What have you to say in reply to it?''
The older of the men, who seemed
to be about twenty-five or thirty,
bowed politely. What the officer
says is true" he answered. I'VE did
shoot the deer. There is nothing for
US to say except that we did not
know the law said we must not shoot.

A BOX OF MYSTERY.

A rather creepy thing happened at
italy, Tex, one day recently. A large
square box which was unloaded by
mistake more than year ago and had
been stored all that time IN the freight
house of the railroad, was opened by
the station agent to ascertain its con-
tents and see If they could give any
clue as to the owner. The agent got a
queer shock when he opened the box
and its CHASTITY contents were revealed
to him 1t contained the naked and
mummifed bodies of a woman and
child.
The mysterious box was unloaded
from an express car at Italy because
the address upon it had been obliter-
ated An effort was made at the time
10 discover the person who had
shipped it but the search was unsuc-
,essful

Magistrate Sentenced King

If We had known it, then We should
have obeyed it"
What is your name?" asked the
judge.
My name is Philip Orleans, sir?"
What" unused the judge slowly,
looking long and steadily at the man
before him, you are Philip Orleans,
the son of the Duke Of Orleans, who
called himself Philip Egalite!" He
turned to his law book AS Judge
of this court. I must find you guilty,
for you have confessed your guilt
The law does not leave me any dis
erection; it prescribes a punishment
I must pass that sentence upon you,
and 1 do so now"
Philip Orleans bowed. I'VE must
obey the law or pay the penalty" he
said.
For a moment the judge said moth
ing. Then be beckoned to the prison
er, and when the latter had approach
ed the bench asked him quietly: And
so you are Philip Orleans?"
Yes, that is my name here"
And you are a descendant of the
king of France and have been living
in exile here? I have heard of you"
The prisoner nodded his head.

serviceable lumber. Inside the bark
the stump measured seven feet and
nine inches in diameter, and the total
height of the tree was over 800 feet.

Inquest held at Enfield, England, on
Mrs. Kate Methuen. In 1908 she was
knocked off her bicycle and had four
false teeth and a plate knocked out

part Of the plate were found, but the
others were not discovered. While
fastening her bootlace some weeks
ago blood suddenly flowed into her
mouth, and she subsequently entered
a hospital, where she died. A post
norton examination revealed the two
missing teeth and a piece OF the plate
fastened in the gullet of the throat,
around which an abscess had devel-
oped Death was due to blood poison

Amos j. Cummings Cast Into Naste
Basket the Copy" of Abraham
Lincoin's Memorable Cooper
Union Address.

The fact that Abraham Lincoln re-
Fised. at midnight, in the Office of the
New York Tribune, the proof sheets
of his memorable Cooper Union ad-
1ress, delivered on Washington's birth
day, 1860, is recorded in history. So,
also, l believe, it is recorded that the
proof reader who sat by Lincoln's side
while he did this was Amos ]. Cum
mingS, who afterwards gained fame as
an editor and member of congress.
But, so far as l know, the incident has
never before been reported in Mr.
Cummtngs's own words.
Il had been told by Mr.. Greeley"
said Mr.. Cummings, that Mr.. Lincoln
would call at the Tribune office late in
the evening, as he was very anxious to
go over the proof slips of his Cooper
Union speech; and Mr. Greeley asked
me especially to take charge of the
proof reading
81 should say it was about midnight,
perhaps little earlier,-when Lin
coin came into the proof readers
room. If I could have looked ahead
only as far as three months, | am
afraid that my interest in the per-
sonality Of the tall, gaunt man, before
me would have seriously interfered
with a careful reading of the proofs.
But l looked upon him as nothing
more than one of the best stump
speakers of the west.
He brought a chair to my side and I
passed the manuscript Of the address
to him. Here I said, are the galley
proofs, with my corrections. Maybe
you would like to follow the manu-
script yourself and look over the
proofs at the same time, to see if
have made the proper corrections
Well, I reckon that would be the
best way Lincoln replied. Then, as
he adjusted his spectacles, he looked
curiously about the room and added:
This is the first time I nave ever been
at midnight in the office o. a great
daily newspaper. You turn day inside
out here. making night day, and day
night. Well, let's begin
1--WE went over the proofs very care
fully, and made few changes. Then
he took the proof slips and read all of
the corrections again very slowly.
by this time it was getting close to
1 o'clock. Mr. Lincoln l said, I shall
have to hurry the corrected proofs out
to the composing room because it is
getting late. Do you want to wait
and see a reyise?'
NO he said, I reckon we have
done all the revising that is necessary.
[ think I'll go across to my hotel and
go to bed So he shook my hand,
thanked me, and left; and l did not
see him again until, as a soldier, I
went to Washington.

proofs of the speech were handed to
me- 1 glanced them over, saw that
they were o. K. and then threw the

years, but recently the landlord was

morn" He asked if the afternoon of
