Seldom in life time does person
see such day as was last Monday.
1t was somewhat cloudy, but the strik-
ing popularity of the day was the
darkness caused by the smoke from
the great forest fires in Idaho and
Montana. There was no smell of
smoke in the air, but the cloud of
smoke above us-possibly mile or
more above the surface of the earth
must have been very dense. In the
forenoon, peculiar yellowish sheen
began to be noticeable, as if the day
were "jaundiced." Later in the day
this became more and more pronounc-
ed until it began to merge into dark
ness. Soon artificial lights became a
necessity, and during the middle of
the afternoon, day turned into night.
Lights were burning everywhere
within doors and out of doors all be-
came indistinct as at night. The sky
assumed red appearance, and alto
gether it was an awesome spectacle.
Toward evening, it become lighter,
tho darkness came full hour early,
and for the next two days, the sky
was still darkened.
Of course the cause of the unusual
occurrence was we'll known, and no
one was so foolish as to have qualms
or at least not to allow it to be seen.

Got Him Without a Grip.

A cricket club formed a gymnasium
for the use Of it's members, and an in
structor was engaged to teach jiu jitsu.
Recently one Of the cricketers turned
up with a bandaged head and said
some youth had inflicted the injury.
"Whatv' exclaimed the jiu jitsu in
structor. "You don't mean to say you
let youth knock you about like that!
Why didn't you try jiu jitsu?"
II couldn't"
Nonsense! There's no conceivable
situation to which jiu jitsu cannot be
successfully applied. Show me wher'
he gripped you"
"I'm sorry to say he didn't grip me
anywhere. He dropped brick on my
head from a third floor Window

TUBERCULOUS POULTRY.
Disease Contracted by Feeding in Yard
Where Affected Cattle Were Kept.

disease contracted oy FeeoIn9 IN Yard
Where Affected Cattle Were Kept.
tuberculosis among poultry is not
common, but recently several cases
have been discovered in Wisconsin;
though it has not yet been proven that
people contract the disease through
eating such poultry. DR.. RoVenel, of
the Wisconsin station, caused the
farm from which the poultry was sert
to be visited, and there found that
nearly every animal in the entire herd
of dairy stock was badly infected with
tuberculosis. 1t was quite evident
that the poultry in question contract
ed the disease by feeding in the barn
yard where this stock was kept. Aside
from the cases reported in Wisconsin,
only a few have been heretofore
known in the United States.

To Thread a Hair Through Walnut.
To pass a hair through VI Anut

done. The hull of the walnut when
examined with a strong glass is seen
to have innumerable small openings.
some Of which lead entirely through
the nut. The trick consists in using a
very fine hair and an Infinite amount
Cf patience. Pass the hair into one of
these minute crevices and urge it gem

it comes out at the hundred and first

The Country Merchant and the
Parcels Post.

The country merchants are not max
ing the outcry that the parcels post
would be ruinous to their business-it is
the argument that is used by the express
companies to further their own ends, and
defeat the pending bill now before Con-
gress. The parcels post would not hurt
the country merchant, says the Balti-
more Sun in an article upon the subject,
but on the contrary, it would enable him
to do an order business for his patrons
and TO retail country products in the
cities. A vast amount of food goes to
waste on every farm at time when peo-
pie iE the cities have to pay big prices
for it. The cost of transportation and
distribution is too great. A family in
London makes an arrangement with q
farmer to send dozen fresh eggs by
mail every morning or two. Boxes for
this purpose are made, and the cost
of carrying dozen eggs from any part
of England to the front door of house
in London, is "a pence, or about five
cents. The London family can get a
pound Of fresh butter this way and
other articles of food can be obtained ii
the city by this quick and inexpensive
method. Both the consumer and the
farmer in this country would profit enor
mously by this plan.
