Two Ways to Raise Poultry.

Under the colony system the birds are
allowed free range. the houses which

from 300 TO 80 feet apart. so that the
stock will not kill the grass This sys-

conditions by drawing the colony houses

Barring out which has been revived
by the school girls of Herefordshire, is
but a childish reminiscence of the strike
that has taken place in thousands of

dissatisfied with their teachers. Now and
then it has gone beyond joke. At the

1873. the scholars objected to the short

The discovery of ancient human re-
mains in German East Africa by DIR.
Hans Reck of the geological institute of
Berlin University may prove to be Of
great Importance to anthropolosists. At
first .here was some doubt as TO the
antiquity and racial characters to be
assigned to those East African human
remains. but apparently they are of mid
Peistocene date and show the distinctive
features of the negro. If such prove to
be the case. it is conclusive that the
negro race was already evolved in Africa
at an earlier date than is now generally
supposed. This ancient human remains
discovered had thirty-siX teeth-four
more than is given to human anthropoid
races. The teeth. it is said. showed
marks of filing Scientists think this is
remarkable fact if the habit of filling
teeth, so common in modern African
races, should have been in use at an
early date assigned to these prehistoric
remains

CUP OF COLD WATER
Traveller Says 1t Can BE Had Only
in the United States.
(New York Mail.

The United States is roasted so
frequently in British and continental
journals as an utterly uncivilized land
that it is interesting TO see at least
n trait of civilization. and a very
honorable one, attributed to us by an
English writer in an English review.

Nineteenth Century and After. COM
plains that a drink Of cold water is
one of the hardest things to get in
Europe, and says:
1T is only in the United States that
no matter how barbarous the district
nay be or how highly civilized, iced
water is abundant and cheap to the
point of being a gratuity. I scarcely
think there is Il train in the United
States territory, even quite disconnect-
ed with the great routes of travel,
which is not kept well supplied with
good iced water for the use of the
passengers. Cold water. really cold,
pure water, is the most thirst-quenc-
ing and the most wholesome drink in
the world, and one of the least easily
obtainable in civilized countries. In
some towns it is pSss$sstto he had for
love or money. ''sTsse3EN sGe
Since the giving of q cup of cold
water is the type not only Of simple
friendly service, but also the sign of
spiritual merit, we may assume that
we may not be at the foot OF the list
of civilized nations after all.

terrible fright from Bossy the Cow.
Pm all ready for another adven-
ture," said he.
Hardly were the. words out Of his
mouth when something quite knocked
the breath out of him. When at last
he could understand anything he
found that he was pinned down by a
great paw armed with dreadful claws.
None Of the claws touched him, but
they were ready to if need be. Look
ing up, little Mite saw two fierce,
cruel, yellow eyes glazing down at
him out of a coal-black face. He re-
membered right away what Danny
Meadow Mouse had told him about
Black Pussy, and he guessed who had
caught him. The paw. pressing him
down to the ground, hurt. for you
know, he was very little. He squeak
ed with pain. Poor little Mite! He
hadn't n hope left. This, then, was
to be the end Of his adventures in

to his feet as soon as he could. His
one thought was to get as far away
from Bossy the Cow as he possibly
could. Now, his father, Danny Mea-
dow Mouse, would have known that
there was nothing at all to fear from
Bossy the Cow SO long as he didn't
allow her to accidentally step on him,
but little Mite, who thought himself
SO smar n yet who knew so little
of the Great World. was sure that she
was looking for him to eat him alive.
Now, whore he had fallen there was
no nice little path, and he had to
work his way through the thick grow
ing grass stems. 1t was hard work,
and i. made him very, very tired. At
last when he was almost in despair
he came out on what he thought must
be a great highroad. 1t was like the
private little Meadow Mouse paths
along which he had run away from
home that morning, only 1t was ever
and ever so much bigger and the
grass didn't meet over it. 1t was the
Lone Little Path that comes down
from the Green Forest across the
Green Meadows to the Smiling Poo,
but, of course. Mite didn't know that.
He gave u great sigh of relief. You
see, it seemed so good to be where
he could see something: And still
he was a wee bit fearful. Never in
all his life had he been right out in
the open so. He would run out and
then scamper back to the safety of
the tall grass. Then he would do it
again. Nothing happened n so
after Il little he grew less and less
afraid.
"Pooh!" said he at last. There is
nothing to be afraid of. How silly
of my father and mother to insist
that we should always be under
something. 1t is much pleasanter out
here"
With that he marched along up the
Lone Little Path quite as if he owned
it. He felt very important, and by
