eoIdsmith's Snowy Clothes.

Goldsmith was ludicrously fond Of
snowy clothes. When he sought to
take orders in Ireland he tried to daz-
zle his bishop by pair of scarlet
breeches. While studying medicine in
Edinburgh he wore "rich sky blue
satin" "fine sky blue shalloon" and
silver hat lace. Before Johnson. Rey-
nolds and Garrick he strutted about
Dragging of his bloom colored coat,
and when his reputation had been
made by his two principal poems he
blazed forth in purple silk small
clothes, scarlet greatcoat and ply
sician's wig. He carried gold head
ed cane. and a sword hung by his side.
weapon so disproportoned to his
diminutive stature that a coxcomb who
passed him in the Strand called out to
his companion to "look at that fly with
a long pin stuck through 1t"

The Brisand Chief.

Not many years ago the highways of
Mexico and especially that of Guadal-
java, were infested with brigands, who
usually stopped all travellers whom
they met. Whenever conveyance en-
tered the capital with the curtains re-
moved it was taken for granted that
the victim of the brigands had taken
them to use as a substitute for his
own garments of which he had been
deprived. The situation at length be-
came unbearable. and, daring rob-
berry having been committed. the au-
thorities sent out troops to pursue TIE
malefactors. The leader Of the gang
was captured, bound, placed on mule
and escorted to the city. The presi-
dent sent for the chief of police. He
was not forthcoming.
"Does any one know where he is to
be found?" asked the president.
"Why, yes, sir" the men feplied in
chorus; "he is on the mule!"

nurxIna ! Water supply.

Most rodents are provldent creatures
and store supply of food for winter
use. The Egyptian jerboa, which Is
a kind Of jumping mouse. is quite as
thrifty as the rest of Its race. but 1t
Is singular In this--that 1t stores up
not food, but water. The jerboa Is
found most generally In arid regions,
In which the dry season lasts six
months, during which time not even u
drop of dew falls. In these places,
however. there grows, just at the close
of the rainy season, bitter but ex-
tremely juicy melon. AS soon as 1t Is
ripe the jerboa gnaws through its
stem. digs away the earth beneath it
and lets II drop into the hole thus
formed. The wind soon covers II with
sand. which not only conceals 1t, but
also protects 1t from the heat. On the
coming of the drought the jerboa seeks
out one after another of these natural
water barrels and Stakes its thirst at
them until the rainy season sets in
once more. AS the jerboa lays up u
supply of from forty to fifty melons,
there is no danger of its s,pre of water
running short.

adjourned Monday.
The council considered the ap-
pllcations of about 600 Indians
for adoption into the tribe
and granted adoption to about
~ of these. Of the large num-
Der of applicants only about 300
were present in person, the rest
being represented by proxies.
They came from all directions of
the northwest.
The matter of adoption came
up at this time in connection with
the work of the Indian bureau

The first National egg laying
contest closed at the State Poult-
ry Experiment station at Mount
ain Grove, Mo. October 31st.
The result has been so satisfact-
ory, that a second contest began
November 18th with 20 varieties
in the pens and 80 hens in each
variety.
In the first contest the leading
pen was R. G. Rhode Island Red
which made record of over 208
eggs per hen. The best individ-
ual record was made by a white
Plymoth Rock hen which laid 281
eggs in twelve months. This
hen lacked one egg of equaling
the experiment station record
which was 282 eggs by a Barred
Rock hen at Guelph, Canada.
The following are the best pen
records: 1st pen R. G. Rhode
Island Reds 1912 eggs, End pen
white Wyndottes 1O15, 3rd pen
S. C. white Leghorns 991, 4th
pen B. P. Rocks 967 eggs.
The best individual records are
1st white Plymouth Rock 287,
End R. C. Rhode Island Red 255,
3rd B. P. Rock 245 eggs.

Contest held under the joint aus.

that the same thing be done this

These contests have not proven

have shown that the Leghorns
in this climate are no longer en-
titled to be called the egg laying

of Leghorns in the International
contest and their average record
falls below the record Of the
American class. 1t is more in
the strain than in the breed in

Great Northern Exhibits.

"The Great Northern Railway is
preparing to feature the products of
Montana t the Minneapolis Land
Show" said E. G. Leedy, general i'm
migrant agent of the Great Northern
Railway, after his return from the
west recently. "The result achieved
by this kind of advertising in the past
has been highly successful and We are
thoroughly convinced that bringing
the products of the west to the people
of the east is the most effective and
modern method OF advertising the
agricultural possibilities of any coun.
try.
1.-THE representatives of the immigra-
ton department are canvassing every
community in the state of Montana
collecting grains In the STRAW, grasses,
vegetables and 10 fact all products OF
the soil. They are cooperating with
the commercial clubs, responsible real
estate men and the farmers, who are
growing the crops. The thorough
manner in which this collecting of ex'
hibition material is being followed in
sures US the greatest collection OF
agricultural and horticultural pro-
ducts that has ever been assembled by
the railway.
"The very best and choicest samples
will be shown at the Minneapolis Land
Show, where thousands of homeseek'
ers and investors will visit. Oul
representatives are meeting with grea
success, as the local people along thu
entire line appreciate more than eve
the great benefit of the wide publicity
which is given our particular section
through this medium of advertising.'
