Careful Milkman.

The other day when the milkman,
who is a new man on the route, called
at Mrs. Green's apartment, to collect
the BILL she said to him severely; do
you know that several mornings late
ly have not heard you whistle when
you left the milk on the dumbwaiter?"
Sure that's good, ma'am," returned
the milkman, complacently, oblivious
of the note of severity in Mrs. Green's
voice, "and hope I'll soon git 1t down
so fine ye'll not hear me at all. Ye
see, ma'am It's impossible for me to
be leavin' the milk any later than
do, but since the day ye told me
came too airly and woke ye from
your sleep in the mornin' I've been
careful to blow the doombwaiter

PET AVERSION OF THE SAILOR
Stormy Petrol Is Regarded with Dis
favor by Even the Most Stout
Hearted Seamen.

There are few persons who have
crossed the ocean that have not OBJ
served the stormy petrol skimming
along the surface Of the water. They
fit past the vessel like swallows, TAX
ing their scanty portion of food from
the waves.
Habited in black and making their
appearance generally in larger num-
bers just previous to, or during, a
storm, they have long been regarded
b., the supeIstitious not only as fore
boding messengers, but as agents In
some way responsible for bad
weather.
Nobody can tell where they come
from or where they breed. Sailors as
sert they hatch the egg under the wing
and rear the young on pieces of fot-
sam. That mysterious origin has gfv-
en- rise to an opinion prevalent among
mariners that they are in some way
connected with the supernatural agen-
ces of the air
They are variously known as
stormy petrels, witch birds, the devils
birds and Mother Carey's chickens.
Their sudden appearance often makes
the stoutest hearted seaman finch.

DIarrhoea In little Pias.

The cause of this trouble Is usually
an abrupt change Of feed, either of
the mother or of the pigs. An ex-
elusive diet Of alfalfa is responsible
for some of the intestinal irritation,
shown by watery green diarrhoea ap-
pearing few days after feeding upon
alfalfa. Most animals recover after
several days purging, but succumb
from weakness. Another source of
the trouble is dirty, unsanitary sur.
roundings with stagnant water for
drinking purposes.
Treatment naturally should consist
Of change of the conditions so far
as possible A change of feed should
be given gradually, and in alfalfa
feeding little grain is indicated I'M
til the little pigs become accustomed
to the alfalfa ration.

Corner on Idols,

H. E. Huntington of Pasadena, CAL,
has done a foolish reactionary thing.
He has bought 81 idols, brought them
from their original Japanese temple,
and installed them in his grounds so
that he can worship Buddha in seclu-
sion. How much better it would have
been If he had got statues of some
of the American idols and put them
up so that the populace might wor-
ship. He could have several political
favorites, Mammon, two or three base
ball heroes, several moving picture
cowboys, a ten,foot statue of an Amer
lean silver dollar, a leading vaudeville
actress, an aviator. a fat hog for Chi
cago, Kansas City and Omaha visi-
tors, and statues of a bull moose, an
elephant and a donkey.-Pennsylvania

CLOSE TO HEART or NATURE
Sanitariums In the Black Forest at
Which Marvellous Cures Have
Been Recorded.

In an article on 1.-THE Friendly Sum
mer Trees" in the Womans Home
Companion Frank A. Waugh, profes
sor of horticulture in Massachusetts
agricultural college said
"In Germany one finds all kinds OF
cures. Every enterprising town has
one. Often the cure house is the
finest public building in the city. A
German talks of going to his cure as
an American of going to his vacation.
There are milk cures and mud cures,
mountain cures and surf cures, but my
choice is the forest cure. Not only
does it best please my personal taste,
but l notice that it gets the more
serious cases-those where radical
and heroic cures are needed First OF
all there are the tuberculosis patients
strewn about on their cots under the
pungent shades of the Black forest as
about DR.. Trudeau's camp in the Adj
rondacks. Then there are the de-
votees of Indigestion and the nervous
wrecks, bilious, alcoholic and society
wrecks, drug fiends, bridge fiends and
everybody; that is, everybody who
can spend the money to come hither
for the forest cure. Naturally in Ger
many, as in America, folks who have
to work and support families cannot
afford to be cured They can't even
afford the disease in the first place.
at is curious how friendly the for
ests arc to sick and discouraged peo-
pie. The trees reach out their arms to
shelter them. In the stiffness of the
morning and through the long nights
they whisper reassuringly to every
one who listens"

lence and distribution of grade stal
lions in the state.
Minnesota has law framed along
the lines of the Wisconsin measure.
Pennsylvania and Utah have adopt
ed similar laws and other states have
restrictive measures under considera
ton.
The effect of these laws is to make
the owner Of each non-registered stall
lion declare his horse a grade" On
handbills that are posters so that no
one may be deceived as to his pedi
gree.
The situation abroad Is very much
better than in this country. In fact
practically no scrub, grade or non
registered stations are used for pub
lis service.
In the Investigations Of this matter
carried on by DR.. A. S. Alexander o.

the stations in the state, 80 per cent
were grade stations and only 40 pc

1t Isn't Veneer That Really Counts.

1t Isn't Veneer That Really Counts.
It's what man is, not what he has,
which makes him a real man, after
all. Acquired powers have their fas-
cination, 1t must be admitted, but,
compared with genuine qualities, are
not important. Which do you wish
the ability of a husband to swear at
you in seven languages, or a loving
tenderness that will prompt your hus-
band to speak words Of sympathy to
you in commonplace accents? Are
you contemplating living with clever
ness that can cut you to the heart, or
with a great tenderness of nature that
can sympathize?
Technical facilities, encyclopedia in
formation, polished manners, all ac-
quired points, usually attract a wom-
an. They are veneers, and the wise
girl will look beneath. A continental
bow, polite speech of apology with
French phrase thrown in, can never
counterbalance the black eye given in
a blind rage.

Yorkshire's Many Acres,

One often hears 1t stated that York
shire can boast more acres than there
are letters in the Bible, and most
people, on hearing the statement for
the first time, are inclined to doubt
its accuracy. 1t is perfectly true,
however. Authorities differ as to the
exact acreage of Yorkshire, one CIV
ing it as 3,SS2,S4S acres, another as
S.7T1,S4S: but as the number of let
ters in the Bible. according TO labori-
Gus computation. is only 1856, 4S0, the
acres beat the letters with something
to spare.-London Tit.Bits.
