AS she opened wide her big green eyes.
Then she gave a sudden spring
And landed on the harmless thing.
The odor or flavor or something was
wrong.
For she dropped the mouse and hurried

And when at last she dared to utter
These were the words she was heard to

A Strange siaht at Sea.

A large tree. fully leaved out and
with its branches alive with birds OF
gay plumage, fioated in the sea 100
miles from any land. according to Off
GERS and passengers of the steamer Ii
mon, which arrived in Boston recently
from Jamaica.
The tree was encountered off the
west coast of Cuba. about thirty feet
of it was clear above the water line,
and 1t stood upright as If imbedded In
the ocean bottom. The officers of the
steamer were of the opinion that the
tree went afioat in a cave-in on some
shore line and retained sufficient soil
and rocks intwined In its roots to serve
as ballast.

The Hatless Habit.

The hair is very apt to suffer from
| lack of proper attention and careless
habits in summer. Going hatless for
hours, sometimes all day, exposing the
hair to the drying and bleaching effect of
the elements results in a sad state of
affairs. requiring months of subsequent
care to correct. short sun bath end
out of door free ventilation of loosen2d
tresses is desirable but continuous ca
posture to iatense heat burns and dries
out the natural oils, destroying both The
life and color of the hair
The custom of allowing the hair 10
hang unconfined during surf bathing ard
drying it afterward in the sun is per-
nicious in the extreme, as well ms au
ofiense to good taste. The hair should
be pinned fiat to the head and completely
covered with a rubber cup; in the pr
yacy of ones room, it is thoroughly
brushed and, while hanging, is ventiat-.
cd at the open window. Frequent air
ing of the hair is especially necessary
in summer. and particularly when the
scalp is oily. says The Housekeeper.
Drying lotions should be applied at
bedtime. and perfume spray through
the moist strands will do much to dry
ont and sweeten the hair. 4 lemon
Juice shampoo is a good corrective when
it has been subjected to saltwater baths.
The juice of one ripe lemon is added
TO a teacupful of hot water; this Is
applied to the roots and scalp, and when
dry is followed by shampoo containing
the yolk of one egg. ten drops of sweet
oil. a cupful of warm water, and twenty
drops of spirits of rosemary. This is
alike beneficial to every shade of hair
and TO artificial pieces as well.

Miscellaneous Crops.
Straw and cornstalks derived as by.
products from the production of grain
and corn have considerable value for
feed and other purposes. They are, how
ever, mainly consumed on the farms
producing them The census bureau
made no attempt to ascertain the total
or value of these products, but
the schedules called for the quantity and
value OF these sold during the year 1909.
The returns show that 47G farmers in
Vermont sold, during 1909, zoos tons
Of straw. for which they received Sl6,342
and that l53 farmers sold SCI tons of
cornstalks and leaves, for which they
received S4,5lT.

Washington, d. G., Oct. 23.--Statis.
tics for live stock products for Vermont
are presented in a bulletin soon to be
issued by Director Durand of the bureau
of the census, department of commerce
and labor. II was prepared under the
supervision of John Lee Coulter, expert
special agent of agriculture.
The returns for live stock products
obtained at the census of 1910, like those
for crops. relate to the activities of the
calendar year 1909 1t is impossible
to give total representing the annual
production of live stock products, for
the reason that the total value of prod
ucts from the business of raising domes-
tic animals for use, sale, or slaughter
cannot be calculated from the census re-
turns.

Flowers and Plants.

The raising of flowers and plants and
of nursery products is relatively unim
portant in Vermont, only 90 acres being
devoted to them in 1909 and the total
output being valued at ss9,740 Most of
the product was raised on a few farms
where these branches of agriculture were
carried on an as important business.

Dairy Products.

The number OF farms reporting dairy
cows on April Is, 1910, was 27,947, but
only 26636 reported dairy products in
1909 That there should be this differ
ence is not surprising. Doubtless some
farmers who had dairy cows in 1910
had none in 1909, while other farmers
neglected to give information for the
preceding year. or were unable to do so,
perhaps because the farm was then in
other hands Dairy products in general
are somewhat less accurately reported
than the principal crops. This is partie-
ularly the case as regards the quantity
of milk produced. The number of farm.

The total value of domestic animals
sold during 1909 was $500 600. and
that of animals slaughtered ON farms
81 46s,OOO. making an aggregate of 81.
$4,000. This total. however, involves
considerable duplication. resulting from
the resale or slaughter of animals which
had been purchased by the farmers dur
'ng the same wear.
The value of the cattle (including
calvesl sold during 1909 represented
about two-thirds of the total value Of
animals sold.
The census Of 1900 called for the re-
ceipts from the sale OF domestic ami
mails raised on the farms reporting and
the total value Of those slaughtered dur
ing 1899. which amounted respectively,
