Years OF the EIenhant.

Before the Christian era men HAD
the idea that elephants were astonish-
ingly long lived animals. 1t is true
that the elephant often reaches a
green old age, but not quite so green
as was supposed by writers of an
cient times. Some of the latter stated
that elephants could live to be 500
years old. Strabo cites the case of
one which reached the respectable age
of 500 years, which was set down by
Pliny also as the maximum age which
proboscidians could attain. But an
other writer, Philostrates. went Strab0
and Pliny one better He asserted
that an elephant belonging to King
Porus not only lived long enough to
become a great favorite with that
monarch, but survived its royal mas
ter for four centuries. Aristotle de
clared 200 years to be the highest age
which an elephant could reach. He
gave the ordinary span of life as be
tween 40 and 200 years. Button also
placed the maximum at 200. Flourens
made it $50 and De Blainville 100. 1t
is generally believed among those who
have made a study of the question
that elephants frequently live to be
100 years old

WARNING TO PARENTS.

Some time ago a crank shot David
I Graham Phillips, the author, and then
killed himself.
His friends said the assassin was in
sane.
Of course, but
What made him insane?. His histo
ry shows that as a child he was al
ways brooding over things, He was
inclined to be morose and solitary.
And then
He grew up a man given to spells Of
melancholy-a shrinking, suspicious,
self centered person.
OF course he grew up that way.
What could you expect of such a child
if let alone? We are learning much
more about such children than we
knew formerly.
The faults of the man in this case
were the outgrowth of a neglected
| childhood. Therefore he shrank from
those he fancied were his enemies and
viewed his friends with suspicion.
Now
Phillips was too busy to take the
| man at the mans estimate. Therefore
the fellow brooded over what he felt
was a personal affront and became as
to Phillips a monOmaniac.
But here is the lesson:
Have you a brooding child? Does
the boy or girl dislike to play with
other children, preferring to be with
his elders or choosing to be much
alone?
Be careful of that child.
The behavior is not natural. If the
child is not i'll there is something
wrong in it's mental tendencies. IT is
natural for the child to be active and
to associate with other children.
You may be nursing a criminal or
maniac.
You need not worry much about the
noisy boy who comes home occasional
" with a blackened eye or the girl
who romps like a tomboy.
Look out for the quiet one
Of course the child may be i'll in
body or stunted physically. Find out.
Consult a doctor. .....
But stop the brooding habit. That
way lies insanity or mental or moral
perversion. .-.
Get the child much in the fresh air.
See that it becomes physically tired
with exercise, insuring sound sleep.
See that it plays with other children.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Indian Runner Ducks.

The Indian Runner ducks are very
easily and quickly raised, being nearly
full size at eight or ten weeks of age.
If hatched early and we'll cared for
they will lay in the fall and make
good layers until five or six years Of
age and will lay as well as any chick
en- hen, and there is much less labor
in caring for them They are not sub
iect to disease and do not have lice
or mites. which is quite an item in
poultry raising
Indian Runner ducks are to the duck
family what the Leghorns are among
the chickens. The large pure white
eggs are characteristic of the breed as
the white eggs arc of the LeghOrnS.
Green eggs are certain proof of i'm
purity. Hollis FaWn and white strain
are everlasting layers of white eggs
and are great money makers. They
are great layers and small eaters,
which is a very desirable trait They
can be Matched as late as September
and get their growth and be ready to
lay before cold weather. When they
are properly fed and cared for they
will begin to lay at the age of four
months and will lay continuously.
Their eggs are fine for culinary pur-
poses and will sell for 3 to cents
more per dozen than hens eggs.-Farm

We keep six heavy mares to do our
farm work-two three-horse teams.
All of these mares are bred to the best
stallion we can find near home, and
we usually get two or three colts a
year, writes a New York farmer in
the American Agriculturist All of the
mares are bred and worked about the
same until foaling time, when those
that have colts need about ten days
rest Then they may begin work
again, only with little better feed
and care. After the colt is weaned
he can be grown almost as cheaply as
a calf and if we'll fed at two years
old should weigh from 1000 to 1,20O
pounds and can begin to pay his way
by working. ~...-..

KEEPING POULTRY
LICE IN CHECK
Dust Baths Should Be Provided
and Houses Sprayed.

Lice may be found on the bodies Of
fowls at all seasons of the year. They
multiply very rapidly in warm wealth
er, and it is then that the greatest
harm is wrought
There are several insect enemies Of
poultry-lice, mites and f1eas. 1t is
the red hen mite which is worse than
all the others combined. This minute
creature increases at a remarkable
rate when measures are not taken to
keep it in check, and hens will not
lay nor chickens grow when their life
blood is being sucked by this pest.
Dust is fatal to almost all insects,
especially the soft bodied ones The
fowls should therefore be provided
with a dust bath at all times, as this
Is the method nature has given them
Of keeping at bay their insect enc
mics. Dry and finely pulyerized earth
of any kind, also coal ashes from
which the cinders have been sifted,
may be used for the dust bath. Wood
ashes should never be used, as the
alkali in them is likely to injure the
fowls.
A thorough drenching of the poultry
house with kerosene emulsion to which
a little crude carbolic acid has been
added win prove very effectual against
the red mites if done every week.
Ordinary melted lard is good in de-
stroying lice on the bodies of fowls
and chicks, but should not be used too
freely.
When setting hens it is never adj
yfsable to apply any grease to their
bodies, but they may be busted with
some. good insect powder, while the
nests nsay be busted with powdered
/ lime or sulphur. As soon as sitting
hen comes off the nest should be burn
ed out and fresh nest material sup
piled. At all seasons of the year it is
good plan to burn out all nests every
four or five weeks.

HIS HOME AND YOURS.

Would you care to live in a home
costing $3,00OOOO and have no peace of
mind?<s
The mansion of John D Rockefeller
at Pocantico, N Y, cost that much.
Underneath the room on the second
| floor where Mr.. Rockefeller sleeps is a
wide veranda, on which, up and down,
day and night, an armed guard walks.
Aicorrespondent says that often dur
ing the night when the Millionaire can
not sleep he opens the window and
cabs down:
John, are you there?
Which is like a terrified youngster
who fears the dark and calls out to
know if some one is near.
Envy the man?
No, indeed. AS for me- l should pre-
fer little cottage of three or four
rooms where the vines grow over the
porch and there is a rose tree in the
front yard and an old fashioned gar
den in the back yard and where love
abides.
Lest we forget
Let US say it over again to ourselves
that these rich human beings are much
like the rest of us. They, too, are men
of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
In their lives miRgle the bitter and the
sweet as in ours.
They, like all mortal mariners, must
make the perilous pass of the stormy
sea of human life.
And their food tastes no better than
rs-oftentimes not so good. Nor do
they sleep better than we. And their
loves have no sweeter favor than ours.
But, you say
Rockefeller has got not only his own
share of this worlds goods, but he has
taken some of your share and some
of mine and some of everybody's.
Granted.
But suppose Mr.. Rockefeller really
has the billion dollars they say he has
and. suppose he were to divide the sum
equally with all the citizens Of this
country, how much, think you, would
you get?
Just SO.
AS for me, he may just keep my $40
if it will do him any good, and also his
home of grandeur where an armed
guard PAGES the porch to keep black
hearted robbers away.
l will choose rather home, however
humble, where peace and comfort and
sweet sleep and faith and love and
hearts ease abide.
And you?
Will you not join me when I~say, I
do not envy you your gorgeous guard
ed home, Mr. Rockefeller.
