the church to be martyred, acted as deacon and

archangel Saint Michael, sang glorious music
and before the altar knelt the beautiful virgin
mother of the Son of God. A still earlier legend

three times distinctly "Cease brother this

It seems inconceivable that the
bountifulness with which the world
is supplied with sugar should mean
anything else than that it is designed
for human food. Sugar is one of the
most powerful foods which we pos
sess as it is the cheapest, or at any
rate one of the cheapest. In muscu-
lar labor no food appears to be able
to give the same powers Of endurance
as sugar; and comparative practical
experiments have shown without the
least doubt that the hard physical
worker, the athlete or the soldier on
the march is much more equal to the
physical strain placed upon him when
he has had included in his diet lib
eral allowance of sugar, than when
sugar is denied to him. Trophies,
prizes and cups have undoubtedly
been won on a diet in which sugar
was Intentionally a notable constitu-
ent. 1t has even been said sugar may
decide battle and that jam, after
all. is something more than a mere
sweetmeat to the soldier.
The fact that sugar is powerful
muscle food accounts probably for
the disfavor into which it falls, for a
comparatively small quantity amounts
to an excess, and excess is always in
imical to the easy working Of the
digestive processes. A strong solu-
ton of sugar is irritating to the It's
sues, will set up superficial inham-
nation and may produce form OF
eczema. It is well known that an ex-
cessive diet of sugar irritates the
mucuous membrane of the stomach
and encourages the production OF
mucus and of a highly acid gastric
juice.
The ingestion Of much sugar spoils
the appetite. Children who have
been tempted to overindulge in "lolli-
pops" between regular eating times
do not want their ordinary meal. The
schoolboy spoils his dinner by eat
ing too many sweet things before

Gathers in 81 Il Day.

In clearing the streets Of mendi-

nephew, Walter Mack, were arrested
by Secretary Trounstine, CT the Ohio
Humane Society, on a charge of street
begging, in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The boy whose parents live at Gov
ington, Ky, was placed in the Chill
dren's Home. He admitted to the
the authorities that his aunt paid his
people 81 a day to lead her about
the business district of this city.

slime, I'D rather go to school than
do this begging.
Mrs. Short lives with Walters par

tendent James T. Allen, of the Ohio
Humane Society, that he generally
cried to help increase his aunt's col
lections The woman said that ii
was nothing unusual for her to gath
err 81 a day and sometimes the re-
ceipts amounted to 50.

that hereafter all eggs offered for
sale must be fit for human food, and
that cold storage and picked eggs
must be sold for what they really
are and not as fresh eggs. Eggs that
are partially incUbated or rotten may
not be sold at all, and such sales
subject a person to dire penalties.

NOTES

When building poultry houses al
ways so construct them that the work
of caring for the fowls can be done
in the least time and with the least
labor
The poultry need something bulky
and succulent to take the place OF
the tender grass and other green veg
etables on which they have been
feeding for months.
One objection to feeding mash to
the hens at night is that it is SO
readily assimilated that the digestive
organs are emptied before morning
and bodily heat is not maintained.
Eggs for market or home consump-
ton should be carefully handled and
kept in wholesome atmosphere. The
egg-shell is porous and admits OF the
absorption OF odors which impair the
quality of the egg and render it I'M
palatable, if not actually unwhole-
some.

SOFT SHELL EGGS.

To prevent old hens from laying
soft shelled eggs the first thing to do
is to furnish them with plenty of
grit and shells, to furnish the sub
stances for the egg shell. Some Of
the poultry feeds are rich in lime,
and among the number clover is the
best. the greater proportion of lime
being in the leaves OF the clover.
After furnishing the hens with the
right kind Of feed for the formation
OF the entire egg, including the shell,
the next thing to do is to make con-
ditions such that the hens will Sc
cure an abundance OF exercise in
securing the feed. The open range
is good for this when the weather is
fit. When the weather is bad so that
the hens can not gain exercise in
foraging the feed should be scattered
in litter so that they shall be CON-
PEELED to scratch for it-Farmers
