PRIZE SERMON WAS DONE FOR
tention of the Congregation From
the Words of the Pastor.

On recent Sunday the pastor Of a
New York church preached a sermon
which he had hoped would be partic-
ularly effective. Shortly after launching
upon his theme he found that the au-
dience, while not creating any real
disturbance, was by no means atten.
tive. All of his hearers kept turning
their heads every little while and
glancing furtively toward the rear of
the church. Finally the pastor cast
penetrating glance of his own into
that vague region. He discerned a
policeman sitting in a pew near the
door. II knew them" he said, when
speaking Of the incident afterward
that the prize sermon was done for,
SO far as its hold on my congregation
was concerned. The policeman had
their attention until the end OF the
service. 1t is curious fact that no
where does policeman create such a
sensation as in church. He may go
into theater, lecture room or po-
litical meeting and nobody except the
obstreperously inclined pays any at
tention to him; but just let him step
inside church, and he causes a real
commotion. l don't know why. Ger
tainly nobody expects to be arrested
during the service"

capable of much mischief. To pre-
vent egg-laying. clear away all weedy
growth from around the base of apple
trees SO as leave the bark freely ex-

Other boring insects are also busy
now laying eggs for grubs that will
work havoc with fruit trees. The
peach tree borer moth is one of the
worst of these. This Is small day
flying moth that lays its eggs about
the base Of the trees The eggs soon
hatch into grubs that bore into root
and bark and often kill the tree. II
is good plan to wrap paper, around
the base of the trunks and then cover
the paper with tanglefoot. This has
a tendency to prevent the moths from
laying eggs. Another way is to place
a lot Of refuse tobacco stems around
the base OF the tree. Still another is
to mound up the tree with loose soil
to height of six or eight inches, so
If any eggs are laid the grubs will
be easier to dig out.

kinds of bacteria are known to work
In the two tanks. The kind In the
first tank require but little air; the
kind in the second tank do better
work when no light but plenty OF air
is admitted. These bacteria destroy
the solids In the sewage. A peculiar
feature about this system is the fact
that the solids. even greases, are re-
duced to a harmless deposit in the
form Of scum on the top OF the wa
ter, with a precipitate In the bot.
tom; and the amount OF scum and
precipitate does not increase but re-
mains the same month after month.
It is not definitely known what be-
comes of the additional amount added
each year. 1t disappears as II by
magic.
The septic tank system Is not
necessarily expensive. Two round
holes In the ground six feet In dian,
eter each, and six feet deep, are
sufficient to take care OF the sewage
from a large house. These under
ground tanks may be made OF cement,
and should be connected with a al.
phon at least three inches in diam

Blind Men Swim straIah,.

The man who is unfortunate enough
to lose his sight, or to be born blind,
is, says medical authority, severely
handicapped on dry ground. but he
can, II he is a swimmer, find his way
easily enough In the water. Blind
people generally have a keen sense Of
hearing, and they can steer themselves
in the water by sound as well as an
ordinary man by sight. II they are
swimming toward certain point, a
whistle from time to time will enable
them to reach 1t with unerring accu-
racy. This fact has recently been
proved by some interesting expert
raents. A race between blind men
and ordinary swimmers on a lake re-
suited In victory for the former.
Normal swimmers lose much time In
raising their heads for the purpose Of
keeping their eyes on the winning
post. This also prevents them from
concentrating all their attention on
speed.

tby ClIARENCE M. WEED.D
The Fall Webworm is the most
conspicuous orchard insect in August
and September. These insects hatch
about midsummer and begin feed
Ing on the green surface of the leaves.
AS they move about they spin filmy
silken web under which they always
remain. AS they grow they extend
the web carrying 1t over all the
leaves they attack, so that the whole
branch will be webbed up by a single
colony before the caterpillars mature.
There is generally, however, some
one part of the branch where the in
sects retire between meals and dur
ing periods of molting. Here the
web becomes thicker and when in au-
tumn the leaves fall, taking with
them most of the gauzy web this shell
ter tent generally remains on the
leafless branches.
The webworm shelter Is very differ
ent from that made by the common
Tent Caterpillar In spring. There are
probably various reasons for this. In
the first place the webworms are
born during the hottest season of the
year SO they do not need to huddle
together Id narrow room to keep
warm as the Tent Caterpillars do in
early spring. In the second place
1t seems probable that a caterpillar
that eats only the green surface of
the leaves as webworms do must take
longer time getting it's meals than
does caterpillar that devours the
whole leaf, so the period of exposure
to natural enemies during eating
would be greater in the case of the
'webworm. And in the third place.
the webworms are developing at
period when parasites and predaceous
insects are most abundant. The over
head web must save the lives OF
many webworms that otherwise would
be destroyed by their enemies.
But II the web protects the worms
from these insect foes 1t makes them
easy to see by the orchardist. so that
the only excuse for leaving the pests
to defoliate the tree is dire neglect.

An eight-room, full two-story house,

There are a great many different

CURED by business men In the small

great many farmers are now
building new houses. Farmers have
been prosperous of late, and they are
using considerable money in building.
A farmer likes to have a house look
well. and to have conveniences for
doing the work; that is. live. up-to-
date farmers do. There are plenty
of the other kind, but they are not
building houses like this.
This house is about as large as
necessary on the average farm. II is
about as large as furnace will heat
economically. being 35 feet in width
by 40 In length, exclusive of porches.
The stairway to the attic is closed so
that no heat is wasted In that direc-
ton. A hot-air furnace is the best
means of heating up house of this
size. Anything larger should have
hot water or steam. There is a
great advantage In hot air, from the
fact that It furnishes ventilation;
most houses in the country are shy
on ventilation.
Members of farmers families in
some rural districts are more sub.
ject to lung diseases and pulmonary
troubles than the inhabitants OF towns
or cities. Physicians In country places
say harsh things about some farmers
claiming that the prevalence OF con.
sumption In rural districts Is due ia
living In houses without proper venti
lation and heating; also that the ex.
ira burden thrown upon females by
want OF conveniences for doing house
work is a contributing factor. They
name farmers who are very careful

OATS RECOGNIZED
AS ANIMAL FOOD
Plant, Like Wheat, Seems First
to Have Been Domesticated in
Europe or Asia Minor.

The oat plant, like wheat. seems
first to have been domesticated In
Europe or Asia Minor. The Greeks
knew it and evidence is not lacking
that it was plentiful in the south of
Italy during the time of Roman EN-
pire. 1t has been found in the Swiss
lake dwellings of the Bronze Age. It
seems that the Hebrews and Egyp-
tians did not cultivate the oat plant
but that its ancient domestication was
largely confined to the country north
of Italy and Greece.
This plant has not been found In a
wild state and indications point to its
origin from single prehistoric form.

and of Tartary.
Oats have always been recognized
as feed for domesticated animals,
and in times OF scarcity as good food
for man. While the crop is still
largely grown for horse feed. its use
as human food has largely increased
in recent years.
