Friendship Snaps Over squabbles
About Plnoehle and Flock Of An
noylns Guinea Fowls.

New York.-Two deacons sat on a
Sunday morn. with their faces and
their smiles forlorn. and the words OF
grace on their fevered lips were
drowned by the clash of the dwin'
ding chips, for the words OF grace
that the deacons use are the same as
those Of the men who lose. And this.
though known some decades back,
has caused surprise in Hackensack.
To think that the man who can
pass the plate. with a scowling face
II his brothers late, and can even
quote what the preachers say. would
open a pot on the Sabbath day and
start a raid on his neighbours stack,
is most too much for Hackensack.
A careful study OF the foregoing,
will In some measure explain the in
tensity of Hackensack's amazement.
when John v. Roscoe. a deacon. APP
peared in the Bergen county court to
sue John H. Demarest, another dea-
con. for $4,000 damages. because Of
harsh words uttered by the latter
when their friendship snapped in the
Dutch Reformed church. Mr.. Roscoe
being superintendent Of the Sunday
school. Yet some time ago, Mt.
Demarest became dlspleased at Mr..
Roscoe's guinea fowl and told the
department Of health about them.
since when there have been cool
words, which shocked Mr.. Roscoe's
sensibillties $4,000 worth.
But when Mr.. Demarest was taken
into court he became angered and
gave the whole snap away. He said
that he and his brother deacon were
in the habit Of playing pinochle for
money until far into Sunday morning
until the guinea fowl came between
them. Mr.. Roscoe declared that they
quit at half.past eleven always. but
Mr.. Demarest said that that was only
when Mr.. Roscoe was winner.
The jury in Judge Blacks court
looked Mr.. Demarest over and failed
to see how he could utter $4,000
worth Of biting English. but they did
think that Mr. Roscoe had been dam
aged about six cents worth. which
was awarded. This will make up-for

100 pounds in eight weeks. No one
either in my experience or observa-

OIL Cake Meal,

OIL cake or oil meal in proper guam
titles is considered by our best stock
men to be one Of the most healthful
foods that is on the market. Prof. G..
c. Humphrey Of the animal husbandry
department Of the college Of agricul-
ture Of the University Of Wisconsin,
Gays its value is that II keeps the AMI
NAL in the most healthy condition, no
other feed having such a beneficial
effect on the digestive tract. Old.proc-
ess rather than new-process oil meal
should be secured, so far as possible.
for the reason that % per cent. of the
protein in old.process oil meal is d.
gestible. as compared with only "a per
cent. In the new.process meal.

poses, although they did quite lot
Of work around the farm during the
year.
A pair OF horses weighing from
1,400 to 1900 pounds each are heavy
enough for any kind Of farm work.
but many farmers prefer horse with
more weight.
In considering the size Of a farm
team, It is we'll to remember before
the purchase is made what the regu-
lar duties OF the team are to be; for
many farmers who need only one pair
Of horses will want to use them on
the road for wagon work as we'll as TO
hook up to the carriage on Sundays.
Therefore. they will not require ex.
ira heavy ones, but rather pair that
are known as "all around" horses. and
II these weigh 1,400 to 1900 pounds
each they will have plenty Of size,
and II they are we'll shaped and have
spirit and snap, they will do good
road work.
II is surprising how much depends
on the shape and carriage Of horse,
even an ordinary work horse, espe-
cially when you want him to do a lit
tie pleasuring with once in a while.

Kansas City, Mo.-Could you stand

sor OF astronomy in the University OF
Chicago, IF you throw 1t hard enough.
The moon," he said. rs falling to-
ward the earth at the rate Of one'twen-
tieth Of an inch a second. and the
earth is falling toward the sun at the
rate OF one-eighth Of an inch every 10
miles. But the moon never will fall
into the earth and he earth never Will
fall into the sun. The reason Is that
while the earth is falling toward the
sun, at the same time It is falling out
ward from 1t sufficiently to keep the
same relative distance. II you stand
on top of a high building and drop a
baseball It will travel 10 the ground
In q straight line. But II you throw 1t
outward It will reach the ground In

greater will be the arc II Will de-
scribe. II you should throw 1t far
enough II wouldn't strike the ground
at all, but would continue in curve
all around the earth and come back
to your hand. That is what the earth
Is doing-it is being thrown around the
sun every "a hours and never strikes
It."
Astronomy. the oldest and most ex-
act science, nevertheless, is discover
Ing something new all the time, Prof.
Mcmillan asserts. Great progress
has been made even in the last ten
years.
Most of what we know about the
stars" he said, I'VE have learned quite
recently. We know them now as well
as though we had scratched them with
q nail. We have reached point where
we almost are ready to reject the neb-
ular theory Of the creation Of the uni
verse. We know more about the sun
than we ever did. The only thing
about that the science Of astronomy
has not outgrown is the Newtonian
law of gravity-that remains and never
can be changed. Mechanically, as
tronomy has reached high point Of
exactness. Astronomy is the mother
Of mathematics; 1t has pushed the
mathematicians forward to every tri'
umph they ever achieved"
Gould the mathematicians con-
struct a new solar system that would
work as we'll as the present one"
Prof. Mcmillan was asked.
ION no other theory that mathemat-
les ever could evolve would the solar
system work." he said. Change 1t a
hairs breath, and there would be a
wreck on the main line past all I'M
tangling. That does not mean that,
perfect as It Is, the solar system will
20 on forever. II viii not There Is
no such thing as perpetual motion, and
some time our universe as we know It
will cease to exist. The sun has been
pouring forth its tremendous light and
heat for i've hundred million years
Enormous as that reservoir Of energy
is, It must eventually exhaust ITSELF
When It does life on the planets
