Douchnuts,

Light. tender doughnuts quite unlike
the usual solid kind are made with a
cupful of sugar. teaspoonful of but
ter, two eggs and cupful of milk.
Mix a scant pint of -four that has been
sifted with two rounding teaspoonfuls
of baking powder. making paste that
is soft. Stand the bowl containing 1t
on the ice until it is very cold and then
roll it out and fry before it loses its
shape. The idea is to make the paste
little softer than can be rolled before
II is stiff with cold and to use as little
-four as possible. The doughnuts should
be turned continually while they are
frying. Baltimore A american.

Sir Thomas Gresham "a pair of long

silk stockings continued to be great
rarity. Says Stow:

Ant Colonies,

An ant nest or colony arises from
eggs laid by one or more queens"
The developing young are tended by
the sexleSs neuters, or workers" The
maggots. or larval ants. are fed by
them. often nOurished out of the
nurses mouths, and are as carefully
watched in respect of the temperature
and other conditions of the nurseries
as are infantile human beings. When
full development occurs the pupae
change into ants, which are either
winged or wingess The latter are the
"neuters," or workers. They may de.
velop big jaws and appear as the sol
diers" of the colony. Those which are
winged are the founders of new colo
MES. They are of both sexes, and they
produce the eggs whence the new gen
erations will be evolved.

BALKED THE BULL.

Presence of Mind That Saved the Life
OF a Little Child.
A regiment of the German army
resting in country road was appalled,
to see great bull madly pursuing
little child in n field near by and yet
so far away that the child could not
be reached In time to save 1t nor yet
saved by the shooting of the animal.
The bull had his horns down, and all
the soldiers were horrited to see that
in another moment the child must be
gored to death. For an instant no
one seemed TO know what to do, and
then the drum major shouted to the
buglers of the band. who stood near
with their instruments In their hands,
to sound loud blast They looked
aghast.
Sound. I say, for Gods sake. to
save the childw repeated the drum
major.
Then the buglers blew a blast at the
top of their lungs. The drum major
Inew that animals Of that species
were so much affected by strange and
high pitched musical sounds that they
seemed compelled to initiate them.
This bull proved to be no exception to
the rule.

Examples FOR Boys.

Last Sunday five fat men push
ed down elevator, six swapping
turtles we're put in the beds of six
spiDster aunts, and seven grand
fathers were roped with lariats
and hanged to the chandeliers.
Next Sunday half dozen school
teachers will drop YEARLY down in
their chairs to find spring needles
coming up through the bottom, a
dozen cats will have their tails
tied together and be flung over the
.clothesline to fight it out, and a
score of bulldogs will be turned
loose on policemen. The boys
who do all this will escape. their
hands holding their sides, every
tooth showing. Sunday after
Sunday they tear, mutilate, and
rend, and never a hand is brought
down on the seat of their trousers.
Instead they will be invited into
the parlor to spend the afternoon,
and the Sunday after that they
will be back with another set of
barbarities. They are the Sunday
comic boys. They come in the
colored supplements of the Sun
day papers, laden with everything
from arsenic to asafetida. All
week our public schools and social
systems will teach the boys to re-
spect their elders. to be kind to
dumb animals, and in other ways
to attempt their best, and on Sun
day morning the comic boys will
be on the steps before the grape
fruit is on the table. 1t is "hu-
NOR" no doubt, but is hammer
necessary to humor9 Does a boy
have to hit grandfather on the
head to get laugh9 The best
humor, on the whole, handles re-
alities and is in accord with our
serious convictions. Golfers.

Poultry and Eggs.

The immensely of the poultry
industry in the United States is in
dicated in figuers just made public
by the Federal Census Bureau.
The figures relate to the produc-
ton of poultry and eggs on farms,
and special attention. is called to
the fact that no enumeration was
!, provided by law for cities, towns
and villages. The statistics, there
fore, fall far short of covering the
country's entire production.
In 1909 the number of fowls on
farms was 48S, 468,35 of the val
ne of 1902, 5O6.272. During the
decade the value of fowls in
creased 48 per cent. In 1909 there
were produced on farms in the
United States 1,581,311, 371 dozen
eggs and the value of these eggs
was 1903, 688, $50. During the de.
cade the production of eggs in.
creased only % per cent, but
their value more than doubled, the
percentage of gain being 1926.
The number of farms in Ken
lucky which reported poultry in
1909 was 234.257. The number
of fowls was 10, 247,287 and their
value was Sc, 937, O0O8. The mum
Der of Kentucky farms which re-
ported the production of eggs was
233,4SO The number of eggs
produced was 44,313,377 dozen
and their value was 81, 605,116
Seven States raised more than
10000, 200 fowls in 1909, these. be-
ing Illinois, Missouri, Town, Tex
as, Kansas, Ohio and Indiana.
Only four States, however, re-
ported a production of eggs in ex-
cess of 1OO,OO0,OOO dozen-Mis-
souri,, Iowa, Ohio and Illinois
kheir combined product represent
ing over 26 per cent. of the total.

Animal Lie.

Undoubtedly the longest lived
animal on earth is the whale, its
span of existence being estimated
by Cuvier at 1000 years, while
the next largest animal, the ele-
plant, will, under favorable condi-
tions, live 400 years.
When Alexander the Great con-
quered Porus, the king of India,
he took a great elephant that had
fought calamity for the defeated
king, named him Ajax, dedicated
him to the sun, placed upon him a
metal band with the inscription,
Alexander, the son of Jupiter,
dedicated Ajax to the SUM-" The
elephant was alive $50 years later.
The average age of cats is Is
years; of squirrels, Z to 8 years;
of rabbits, Z; a bear rarely ex
ceeds 20 years; a wolf, 20; a fox,
IA to 16. Lions are comparative
ly long lived, Instances having
been recorded where they reached
the age of 70 years.
Pigs have been known to live to
the age of 20 years and horses to
60, but the average age of the
horse is % to 30 years. Camels
sometimes live to the age of 100
and stays are very long lived, one
having been taken by Charles vi
in the forest of Senlis which bore
about his neck a collar on which
was engraved, Caesar, hoe mihi
donavit."
Whether or not this stag had
actually lived since the days of
one of the Caesars it is impossible
to say, but the evidence seems
good.
Eagles occasionally and ravens
frequently reach the age of 100
years, and swans have been known
to live 300 years. A tortoise has
been known to live 1O7 years.
Efforts have been made to con-
meet the rapidity of the pulse beat
with longevity, but no logical con.
clusion can be reached, as will be
seen from the fact that the pulse
of a lion beats 40 times a minut,;
that of a tiger, SO times; of
horse, 40 times; of a wolf, :. 5
times; of a fox, 43 times; of
bear, SO times, and Of an eagle.
100 times. 1t has been impossible
to count the beat of an elephants
pulse, but that of a butterfly beats
60 times to the minute. Dumb
