ASSERTS FISH HAS MEMORY


An expert In fish culture, who be-
heves that ish have memories, gave
a novel exhibition to support his
theory.
In n Of the enclosed pools at the
hatchery under his charge there was
a very large trout which always came
forward to see and be seen when
visitors appeared. It was the experts
custom, after calling particular atten-
ton to that trout. to raise his cane
quickly and hold 1t over the water.
The performance would have no effect
upon the trout.
Then the expert would produce q
light trout rod and appear with 1t at
the side of the pool. Instantly that
trout would turn and nee. hide itself
at the far end of the enclosure and
remain there so long IS the rod was
In sight.
This Is the explanation Of the sud
den change in the trout's demeanor:
One day, early In the career of the
fish, the expert, to try a barbless
hook he had devised, cast with one
In that pool, and this trout seized IL.
The hook penetrated and passed
through its upper jaw. and by the
time 1t was released from the hook IL
had undergone an experience that
made a lasting impression upon II.
The expert discovered soon after the
hooking Of the trout that whenever
be approached the pool with his rod
the trout would instantly dash TO a
place Of hiding, although IL paid no
attention to q cane or other stick held
over the water. The trout lived for
Years in that pool and never failed to
show its fear Of d trout rod as long
as 1t lived.

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

II can truthfuliy say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me of four long
years Of eczema. About four years
ago l noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving it any attention, it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If l would have them in water for a
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. l could
lay a pin in them. After using all
the salves / could think Of, l went to
three different doctors. but all did
me no good. The only relief l got was
scratching.

wonderful Cuticura Remedies, / pur-
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are

PUT "GHOST" ON DEFENSE
freshman Was In Tight Place, but Not
Too Frightened to Be Ready
With Retort.

To illustrate the e%ver-ready wit Of
the Irish the following story was told
at a banquet held recently:
An Irishman on his way homo at
night was in the habit of cutting
through a cemetery In order to short
en- the distance. A group of friends
evolved a scheme to have some fun
at his expense. Accordingly they
found a sunken grave across which
bis path lay, dug it out and covered it
with boards In such a name that he
must fall into the yawning cavity.
The Irishman came along and ev-
erything happened as per schedule.
While he was still squirming about in
the bottom Of the hole, striving to e
tricate himself, three or four Of his
friends, attired In white sheets and
other ghostly accouttements, sudden
ly made their appearance. Pat was
frightened out Of his wits and almost
tainted when one of them said:
What are you doing in my grave?'
The tone was sepulchral. 1t made
the Irishman's hair stand almost on
end, but he could not forego a witty
retort.
Faith. and what are you doing out
Of it?" ne asked.

beauty.

ness is invaded by him. Having been
seen by him her retreat soon is in
vaded by many men eager to behold
her and, from the thrill OF beholding
her, doomed to love her hopelessly.
She Is kind, but cold to all. Unable
to endure the sight OF n so beauti'
full and still not possess her, her ad-
mirers join in a prayer to heaven.
They ask that since they may not
claim her for their own they may at
least be spared the sight OF one SO
lovely. The prayer is answered. The
angel is taken back to heaven. She
leaves behind her human heart in the
e~delweiss as a memento OF her earth
ly residence.
And so from an object Of love itself,
the edelweiss has come to be the
symbol of love. The Swiss maiden to
whom some swain mas brought the
edelweiss knows that he has risked
his life to gather the tiny blossoms for
her. Receiving them, she under
stands, because the mute appeal OF
the edelweiss is stronger than words.

MANY SEEK FLOWER
EdeIWeiss Grows Only on Sides Of
Mountain.
Blossom Is Responsible for Deaths OF
Many Climbers Every Year-Leeend
Of the Coveted Posy Is
Told.

Lucerne.-When the warm spring
sun kisses the rugged slopes OF the
Alps the snow will gradually disap-
pear. In the hooks and crannies OF
the rocks here and there will appear
the shoots OF a tiny plant. 1t will
push its soft, velvety stems upward a
few inches. Upon these fragile stalks
later will appear dense clusters OF
white tlowers-so white that they al
most appear greenish in their purity
Of color. The heads of the flowers are
covered with a tieecy substance, soft
as down to the touch.
This modest little blossom is the
edelweiss.
Every summer season intrepid noun
taineers give up their lives to gather
the edelweiss. 1t is precious because
1t is rare. 1t is desirable because 1t
is difficult to obtain. For the edel-
weiss grows generally in the most in
accessible places. 1t nestles in the
steep sides Of the p~recipice and the
chasm. ~Invigorated by the mountain
air, intoxicated by the scenery, the
climber beholds the blossom in it's
dangerous %crevice. He determines to
make his way to it and bear 1T away
with him. Sometimes he succeeds in
the quest, only to fail as he attempts
to return. A loose stone that he has
trusted as a foothold slips away. His
hands are flung out to save himself.
There is nothing secure to cling to.
The end is deep down in the ravine
below. The edelweiss has lured an
other to death because OF his covetous-
ness.
In a certain legend the edelweiss

near which it grows. An angel, weary
ing of her celestial home, longed once
more to taste the bitterness OF earth.
She received permission to appear in
the flesh again, but she found her
self ~unprepared to mingle again with
a world where her eyes beheld crime,
sickness, poverty, oppression, misfor-
tune and discomfort. So she chose a
home for herself high up in the Swiss
Alps. There she could look about up
on the world and yet dwell apart from

The levelness with which a horse

On a small scale, vegetable seeds

Never breed from a fowl, however
fine, if it shows a tendency to be kind
to disease germs or has any weak

ripened cream not over one day old

Every poultryman has his favorite
breed and it would be foolish for
him to desert it for some fowl that
he did not care for.
The heifer that is cared for and
handled gently throughout her entire
life will need little breaking in when
it comes time to milk her.
Air slaked lime sprinkled on the

At this day and time there are
scores of breeds that are well suited
to the needs of the farmer for both
egg production and for market pur-
poses.
If you did not save enough good
seed for the farm crops, lose no time
in getting enough to plant your crops.
Get the best that can be had, regard
less of the price.
1t is not breeding alone that is go

Fresh air, sunshine, and exercise
are the best poultry tonics. But fresh
air does not mean drafts In the

Sheep, while generally hardy and
robust, are extremely susceptible to
attacks of disease which, although not
always fatal, wear on the constitution
and ultimately impair the usefulness
of animals afflicted.
