the general influence of religion, that
calls for "A clear transaction between

IL must need give up all that he had
10 obtain 10. This must be the spirit
OF the Christian subordination OF all
that we have and owe 10 God.
Salvation is a gift but il can be
had only by yielding our all to the
Giver. We must give first place to
the things OF His kingdom. Make
it the business of your soul and your
sole business 10 find Christ and learn
OF Him. You have the promise that

BREED HORSES FOR PROFIT
Dr.. Alexander Urges Home Production
of Pure-Bred Stations to Re-
place the Grades.

The principles to be followed by
farmers in improving their horse
stock are: The use of sound, pure
bred sires of a particular breed, the
use of sound mares, the feeding and
care of the mare and foal and the
working of the stations regularly. DR..
Alexander, of the Wisconsin expert
ment station, further urges the home
production of pure-bred stations to
replace the grades, mongrels and
scrubs too often used at present. He
urges that grade horses replace scrubs
in farm teams. The organization Of
community associations will greatly
facilitate the promoting of horse
breeding and the encouragement of
the industry may be furthered by
prizes at country fairs for pure bred
stations, mares and colts.
The evil effects which result from
the use of unusual sires and dams and
the transmission of hereditary dis
eases are especially emphasized. 1t
mould be easily possible to increase
the value of Wisconsin horses at least
$40 per head during the next five
years, the author points out, by the
use of sound stations and mares, and
this would an addition of at
least 100000 to the total value of
the horse stock of the state.

BROKE HIS OWN STAGE RULE
Henry IrVing's Little Pleasantly That
Spoiled Effective Death Scene
in "OtheIIo."

The note about actors who try to
queer" other actors on the stage,
writes a correspondent, reminds me
OF a story Of the only time when Hen
ry Irving was guilty of such a thing.
He was acting Othello. to the BESIDE
mona of the late Miss Bateman and
every Saturday night the perform
ance was followed by a very pleasant
little supper party. Desdemona was
strangled on a bed at the back of the
stage, and part of Irving's business"
was to leave the bed, and then, going
back to it, draw the curtains slightly
aside and peep in at the body, after
wards turning a face of ~inexpress9le
anguish toward the audience. His
face, his Bhudder and the d~eep-draWn
sigh which he gave were among the
most impressive parts of one of his
greatest creations. AS a rule he stern
ly suppressed any levity on the stage,
but n Saturday night, as he drew
back the curtain, he said in a sep
ulchral whisper, What have we for
supper, Desdemona?" Alas! Miss
Bateman was unequal to the strain
and a merry laugh from the dead rang
through the house. Never again, l
believe, did Irving break his own rule
of seriousness on the stage. 1t was
told me adds our correspondent by
my father, who was at the supper par
ty on the night it occurred.

ADOPT THE MULTIPLE SKIRT
Prediction Made by Famous Costumer
as Far Back as Easter Has
Proved Accurate.

Away back at Easter time M.
Jacques Worth contided to American
women his conviction that the three
TERED skirt would be popular this
season. NJ. Worth was quite right.
And now, not content with three tiers,
or flounces, or whatever you want to
call them, we are going to have four,
or five, or even more. A recent French
creation, for example, has no less
han nine of these tiers" The cos
tune is in white mousseline, and the
various stories of the skirt are
finely plaitetd and finished with a
picot edge.
The top one is the deepest, extend
ing from the waistline to below the
hips. The next one is about six
inches deep, and the successive ones
grow narrower and narrower, until
the ninth and last, which measures
only two inches in depth. The skirt
is lifted in front under a great dark
blue velvet rose at the waistline.
This makes it draw in around the
heels at the back and hike" up in
front to show the whole instep.
The waist has a flat fichu edged
with two plaitings, and a double row
of these plaitings extends from the
front under the arms to simulate a
bolero. The sleeves are short and fin
ished with a plating of the mousse
line. This costume is described, with
italics, as very much in the present
vogue.

Sir Isaac Newton's House.

among its residents ambassadors and
high government officials, while Sir
Isaac's entertainments drew to his
house all the leaders of the scientific
world of the day.
Many amusing anecdotes are told of
Sir Isaac Newton during his residence
in st. Martins street. One of the best
concerns DR.. Stukely, the most famous
antiquary of his day, who called on
Sir Isaac by Appointment. The servant
who opened the door said that Sir
Isaac al in his study and must not
be disturbed. DR.. Stukely sat down to
wait for the great mathematician, as
it was near his hour for dining, and by
and by a boiled chicken under a cover
was brought in for dinner.
An hour passed and Sir Isaac did not
appear. The hungry and philosophic
antiquary calmly devoured the fowl.
and, replacing the cover on the empty
dish, requested the servant to get an
other bird prepared for his master.
Before the dish was ready, Sir Isaac
came down from his study, and, apollo
giving for his dilatoriness, said, Give
me leave to take my short dinner and
l shall be at your service. | am ia
tigued and faint" Removing the cover
and discovering the empty dish, he OBJ
served to Stukely with a smile, See
what we studious people are; I forgot
that I had dined."
1t may have been courtesy, or it may
have been forgetfulness.
The house is now given over en-
tirely to business purposes.

SUMMER RATION FOR HORSES

horses have poor teeth, in which case

a or 'shelled corn would be the more
desirable method of feeding.
Crushed corn and cob meal is not

it does not make up for the energy
required to digest so much crude II

A combination of corn, bran and a
little oil meal make a good summer
ration for horses. Feeding a 1000

and three pounds of bran per day
would be equivalent to IA pounds

more carbohydrates and less protein,
thus making a little wider ration. A
small amount Of oil meal would Offset

CAPACITY OF AVERAGE SILo
Easy Matter to Determine Number Of
Cubic Feet Of Ensilage Required
to Feed Cows.
(By A. D. WILSON. Superintendent Elk

(By A. D.. WILSON. Superintendent Ex-
tension Division, University Farm, st.
Paul. MIMI
The amount of silage required and
the size of silo needed to hold it can
be quite closely calculated, provided
the number and kind of animals to
be fed from it are known before
building.
An average COW or beef animal
may be fed about IS pounds of silage
per day and the usual period during
which silage is used in this latitude
will be about 210 days. Large ami
mails Or those that are being fattened
may consume considerably more than
So pounds per day, but this has been
found a fair average.
In a silo of ordinary depth, the
average weight Of the silage is about
40 pounds per cubic foot. Near the
pressure is not great, 1t will weigh
only % pounds per cubic foot, while
at the bottom Of a 35-foot silo Is may
weigh go pounds. Taking these aver
ages, if a COW eats 35 pounds Of en-
silage in a day, she will eat 35-40, or
B of a cubic foot per day, and with
this as a basis it is easy to determine
the number of cubic feet of ensilage
required to feed a COW or any number
of cows throughout the season. The
diameter of the silo must be such
that the stock on hand can use one
or two inches of silage off the top
each day during the winter and at
least three inches per day when sum-
mer feeding of silage is to be prac-
ticed. This is necessary to keep the
silage from spelling.
A silo 10 feet in diameter is adapt
ed to feeding 10 mature cattle. One
II feet in diameter will feed Is head,
and n IA feet in diameter will meet
the needs of twenty head; but if
there are 80 OF more cows to feed,
a 16-foot silo should be erected. These
silos should be 80 or 40 feet, or even
more in height.

TO TEST YOUR APPLICATION
Hugo Munsterberg Gives a Simple
Way to Conduct Really interest
ing Experiment.

Have your friends the ability to
hold their attention, or does it become
quickly ~fatigued? A simple expert
ment will show you. writes Hugo
Munsterberg in the Youths Compan-
ion. Give each person a column from
a newspaper, and have each n cross
out with a pencil every letter A and
every letter R. Keep an eye on your
watch. and when half a minute has
passed, say Now" as a signal for
each experimenter to make a mark at
the word that he has just reached.
Keep this up for five minutes, and
then count how many AS and how
many Rs each one marked in the first
half-minute, how many in the fifth.
and how many in the tenth, and see
how many each person overlooked in
each half-minute.
Some persons will do we'll at the be-
ginning, but will soon become inatten-
tive. In the last four half-minutes
they will mark few letters. and over
look many. Others will do better in
the second and third half-minute than
in the first, and their attention will be
sharper at the end than at the begin
hing.
