MISSOURI HUMOR.

When Christine Nilsson made her

1884 Signor Brignoli sang with her.
He caused much merriment when he
came forward in Missouri town to
apologize for Nelson's indisposition.
"Madame Nilsson ees leetle horse, y
he said.
Noticing ripple of laughter among
the audience he repeated the state
ment that Nilsson "was leetle horse,
a leetle horse, little colt"
Whereupon facetious occupant OF
the gallery brought down the house
by remarking:
''Well, then, why don't you trot
her out?" Bits.

This is my favorite recipe. Make
a rich biscuit dough, roll out thin,
cut in squares large enough to fold
around small apple which has been
cored. Place apple on the square;
cover with sugar, season with butter
and cinnamon; wet the edges of the
dough- pull together to make a ball
and place in a buttered baking dish
with the folded side under. Sprinkle
heavily with sugar, pour cup of hot
water into the pan; bake until your
judgment says the apples are done.

ITALIAN BEES ARE THE BEST
Abundant Evidence That Long
Tongued Insects Do More Work on
Red Glover Than Others

There seems to be abundant evf-
dence that the Italian bees do work
more upon red clover than h black
bees, and therefore hat they do have
longer tongues. The project of breed
ing l~ong-tongued bees that can reach
any or all of the nectar cells in the
red clover does not cen to us i'm
possible when we see what has been
accomplished in the line of breeding
our domestic animals; our horses for
speed or draft, cows for milk, butter
OF beef, sheep for wool or mutton, and
dogs for hunting or other purposes.
1t Is true that in these cases we can
control the mating as we cannot that
OF the queen bee, but when we find
colonies hat approach the type we
want, we can see hat only those
colonies are allowed to produce drones
and queens, cutting out the drone
cells from them, and If we allow them
to send out a swarm seeing they are
provided with a new queen from the
most desirable stock. 1t may be a
work of years., and queens may be.
as it is said some have been, sold at
500 to 5000 each, but men who I'M
derstand just what they want and
work for it usually succeed finally.

ERUPTION LIKE PIMPLES

MEANING OF "AT HALF MAST"
At First Universal Symbol Was Token
of Submission and Respect
for Enemy.

Perhaps you have notice that when
ever a prominent person dies, espe-
cially If he is connected with the gov-
eminent, the flags or public build
ings are hoisted only part OF the way
up, remarks the Toronto Mail and Ex-
press. This is called half mast.
Did you ever stop to think what con-
nection there could be between a nag
that was not properly hoisted ana the
death of a great man?
Ever since flags were used IN war IL
has been the custom to have the has

above that Of the inferior or vanqulsh'

lessly beaten it hauled it's flag down
far enough for the flag of the v1ctors
to be placed above 1t on the same
pole. This was a token not only OF
submission, but of respect.
In those days when a famous sol
der died flags were lowered out OF
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life Of all kinds

IRRIGATION NOT NEW
Pueblo Indians Used and Dug
Great Canals.
First Systematic Employment of AT
tificiaI Streams In h Arid West
by Notwithstanding People
Made by the Mormons.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-Hundreds
of thousands of acres of valuable
land lave been reclaimed in the arid
west through the lei OF irrigation.
The mountain streams have been
damned and their waters diverted to
irrigate vast tracts Of sun-dried soil.
Great electrically-driven pumps have
been installed to raise millions and
millions Of gallons of water from the
depths of the earth to be flooded over
the dry lands In order to stimulate
the growing crops.
But, it must not be forgotten that
irrigation in the west Is nothing new,
although many Of these recent sys-
TENS are numbered among the gigan-
tic engineering ventures of the world.
The first systematic employment OF
irrigation in the arid west by English
speaking people was made by the
Mormons, who, expelled from their
earlier settlements in the Mississippi
valley, sought refuge in the unknown
desert regions, and at last, after ex.
periencing great h~aydships, were
compelled, through necessity, to halt
and settle on the shores of the Great
Salt lake. Here the soil was found
to be so barren hat crops could not
be grown by ordinary means, and,
forced through fear and privation
to adopt new and extraordinary de
vices, they turned the waters of the
little canyon streams upon the
ground where Salt Lake City now
stands. After many years of scant
crooacc nv eha,rtarir FojJrrn fbny
succeeded in mastering the art of ir.
rigation, and under the wisdom OF
their leaders they have become a
prosperous people.
Long before the Mormons came,
however, small sections Of the dryer
portions Of the greast west were be-
ing cultivated through irrigation. The
ancient canals of the town-dwelling
Pueblo Indian tribes may still be
seer in the broad valleys of the arid
portions Of New Mexico and Arizona.
On the mesas, or highlands, Of south
western Colorado and the adjacent
sections of Utah, Arizona and New
Mexico are to be found the remains
of the wonderful cliff dwellings, and
in the little nearby valleys are the
%irrigating bitches used by the inhab-
itants of a thousand of more years
e
The descendants Of these tribes till
a portion of h lands which were
supplied with irrigating bitches and
canals at the time when the Spanish
first came into the region. They fol-
low many of the practices of their
ancestors, having been Influenced but
slightly by contact with white settlers,
who, rather, have learned from them
how to successfully cultivate the soil.
The Mexicans of mixed Spanish
and Indian blood gradually pushed up
into this region, and from the neces-
stiles of the situation adopted irrigat-

POST MAKES A USEFUL GATE
Two Sections Of Fence Ear Be Bent
Apart at Top, Making Handy
and Convenient Passage.

Here is a fence, h~orse-high, bull
strong and pig-tight, and without a
gate in sight. Yet the man who knows
can pass through it easily. The secret
rests in a pair of twin posts. Two
pieces of strong wood are shod with
iron at the bottoms. These iron feet
are hinged by being connected with a
long iron stake that is driven into the
ground and forms the foundation. At
the tops of the posts are a hook, and a
loop to engage the hook, so that nor
mally the two posts are hooked to-
gether and form n rigid upright that
holds the wires as taut as they are on
tho stationary posts that form the rest
of the fence. To pass through this
novel gate all that is necessary Is to

UnfaiHnq Stimulant.

Men have tried many things, but
still they ask for stimulant-the slim
ulant in use but requires the use of
more. Men try to drown the floating
dead of their own souls in the wine
CUP, but the corpses will rise. We see
their faces in the bubbles, The in
t~oxication of drink sets the world
whirling again, and the pulses playing
music, and the thoughts galloping, bit
the fast clock runs down sooner, and
the unnatural stimulation only leaves
the house it fills with revelry-more
silent, more sad, more deserted. more
dead. There is only one stimulant
that never fails. and yet EVE intoXi,
cates-Duty. Duty puts a blue sky
over every In his heart may
be-into which the skyfark happiness
always goes singing.-George d. Prem
