Love at First SIGHT.

Think of it! >'.No such thing as
owe at first sight!" Why, the idea
s preposterous! Every man who was
once boy, and every woman who was
once a girl, can testify by personal
experience that there is such thing
as love at first sight, and even the
recollection of it causes the oldest
hearts to flutter again. Every writer
Of novels and every reader of them
can add to the testimony Of love at
first sight.-Pittsburg Chroniele-Tele-

Compared with clover hay at SO per
ton, It has been shown by feeling re-
suits at University Farm that ensiiage
is worth $40 per ton. A ccrn crop
yielding fifty bushels CT corn will yield
approxin ately ten tons Of silsge per
acre. Ten tons Of silage, at $40 per
ton, are worth S34.G0 If the acre of
corn were harvested in the usual way,
the stalks left in the field and simply
the husked corn saved, the fifty bush
els of corn, at 421a cents per bushel-
the average farm price OF corn for ten
years-would be worth S2125; which
would make the silage worth $1275
more than the ear corn alone AS
shown by Minnesota statistics it costs
about $40 Per acre, including all items,
to grow and store an acre of ensilage
corn, and about $12 per acre to grow
and harvest crop OF corn when the
ears are husked from standing stalks.
The above figures show an increased
feeding value of S1275 in favor of the
ensilage corn, at an increased cost of
about So, or net profit of $4.75 per
acre over handling the corn without
the silo. Far too few people are using

Queer sion Posts.

In the neighborhood of Warmbrunn,
in the Silesian mountains, there are to
be found some very curious signposts.
One seen by a writer in tt, Wide
World Magazine represents a farm la
borer sharpening his scythe, on which
is inscribed, in the old Silesian dialect.
ITO Giers Village, One Hour" The
signpost is we'll carved and painted in
natural colors, so that it appears very
life-like. Another signpost in the same
district represents a schoolboy carry
ing slate bearing the name of the
nearest village, toward which the boy
is pointing.

Queer Way of FISHING.

A curious mode. of fishing is in
vogue at Cochin. South India. The
large nets are let down into the wa
ter on bamboo cranes and then sud-
denly hoisted up by means OF an ar
rangement of weights and ptllleys.
The catch principally consists Of large
prawns. The fishermen are of a low
caste, known as Malars. They eat
pork, and each man has small plot
Of rice by the riverside which pro-
vides him with sustenanee when the
fishing is slack.-Wide World Maya

Curious Lore.

It has been remarked as a curious
circumstance that Bonaparte and Wek
Iington were born in the same year.
and that Burns aid Hogg, the Scotch
poets, were both born on Jan. 25; but
it is more remarkab e that the two
greatest dramatic poets of modern Eu-
rope, Shakespeare and Cervantes, both
died on the same day in the same
year, April 25, 1916. 1t is further re-
markab,e that Shakespeare, like the
great Raphael and Sobieski, died on
the anniversary of his birth.-From

Hens Ample Vocabulary.

1t is claimed that the common hen il
not far behind the turkey in her vo.
cabulary. Furthermore, she is said
to be a much more fluent "talker" than
the rooster. Her cackie is used for
three different purposes, and each
'cackle is different from the other
cackies. One she uses when seeking
a nest. or when calling for her mate;
one when she is frightened; and an
other, of triumphant sort, as she
flies from or to the nest.

from granular to vitreous. The tank

The most popular model in Paris is Callot costume, consisting of a White satin jacket and skirt of eAack broadcloth. It is thought that the acceptance of this model will bring about the wearing of striking combinations in jackets and skirts. Many French dressmaking houses have been influenced by the success of the original Callot model and are now exhibiting in their ateliers or on Manuequins at the race course. cos tunes of this order, and the depart ment stores, as predicted. are show ing copies as nearly like the Callot model as they dare make. This leads one to believe that the fashion will De a popular one, and will last throughout this season at least. The original Callot model consists of a black broadcloth skirt, draped and divided in front revealing the ankles and worn with Directoire jacket of oyster white satin lined with black satin. The jacket extends two or three inches below the hip line. The sleeves are three-quarter length and the flat collar is of black satin A small bouquet of dark rich velvet flowers is worn pinned on one side of the jacket. The blouse accompany

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Study of the Pastor
 Riohpop1 VipOipia

Richmond, Virginia. Dear Mrs Fox
 The home should be the fountain of every virtue. By the practice of to- tai abstinence, and by the inculcation of temperance principles in the home, we may rear generation that will not only be able to withstand temp tations of the open saloon, but will create a public sentiment which will not tolerate the liquor traffic. The firS: duty of every advocate of tenn peranee is to bring others 10 his po- sition.
 The pulpit Is an aid to the home. The pastor should not wait until the prohibition campaign to preach against the legalized saloon. He may be very effective by teaching temper ance in an incidental manner in his regular ministry. Occasionally ser- mon devoted solely to the subject will be advisable. The home. pulpit and school must 60 change the thinking and practice of the people as to re- duce tne evils of liquor to minimum. We may never be able to eradicate those evils. we can however, educate and conduct perpetual war against them.
 Saloon and drunken men add little to Give Art.
 Yours truly.
