lions Of italian Town.
Gothic Beauty Of Structure IL Goal
Which Draws Attention Of Visitors
--Has Happily Escaped the
'Restnring" Period.

Paris.-"Yess Orvieto is sufficiently
interesting to visit. certainly said
an old priest to me; "but why stay
there? You can see the Duomo In an
hour--e poi tutto!" No! the Duomo
is not "alp' that s.to be seen in Or
veto. though its Gothic beauty is the
goal which urges the visitor to leave
his train and mount that precipitous
rock, wondering all the while what
lies on top. Signorelli and Fra An
gellco, from opposite poles, decorated
one Of it's chapels between them.
It has one Of the greatest festivals In
italy. The central doctrine Of the
Catholic church took shape here and
became dogma, and there are vest
ments In it's museum which were used
at the council Of Trent. Yet the struc-
ture, In spite Of the attention called
to it each year at Its festival, has hap
PLY escaped the restoring period.
At one time there was plan to
cover the Duomo with stucco, to suit
the prevailing taste Of the time. The
marks of the plans may still be seen
on the pavement round the pillars.
But lack Of money and enthusiasm
prevented this disaster, and the In
terror remains beautiful and "unre-
stored the marble front mellowed by
the securing rain and snow; the ala
baster windows feigning sunshine
within; the chapel of Signorelli visit
ed by the connoisseur and that of the
Sacrament by the devout. Yet, with
one of those curious incongruities
which puzzle the foreigner in Italy, I
have seen the chief mass Of the day
attended solely by cat, which sat
solemnly washing its face on the al
tar steps, undisturbed throughout the
ceremony.
Perhaps If one sat with the old
bishop above the Porta Maggiore one
would watch day in and day out
more typical Orvietan gathering than
any which frequents the Duomo. Few
lift their eyes to where he sits look
ing down with the same engaging tilt
of the head with which Carlo GoIdoni
regards the comedy beneath him in
the piazzetta in Venice. His uncrum-
bled sacerdotal fingers bless man and
beast alike as they strain upwards to
the gate. A fig tree growing out of
the wall behind him makes canopy

TOAD a VALUABLE SERVANT
lts Uses IN the World Have Not Been
Accorded the Recognition It Has
Long Deserved.

Few well-meaning creatures have
been more thoroughly misunde rstood
than the homely, meditative and re-
firing toad.
Formerly the toad was considered a
venomous reptile, but in our day its
habits have been more carefully OBJ
served and its great value to the
promologist and gardener has been
fully established on account of its
propensity for destroying insects.
We should, therefore, cultivate the
friendship and assistance Of the in
sectivorous reptiles. including the
striped snake, as well as that Of
birds.
Every tidy housewife detests the
cockroach, mice and other vermin.
Two or three domesticated toads
and would keep the coast clear of
these and would be found more desir-
able than a cat. as they are wholly
free from trespassing on the rights of
man as does the cat. The toad is pos
sessed of a tinaid and retiring nature,
loving dark corners and shady places,
but under kind treatment becoming
quite tame.
Many instances might be cited Of
pet toads remaining several years In
a family and doing most valuable
service with no other compensation
than that of immunity. from persecu-
ton.
In Europe toads are carried to the
cities to market and are purchased by
the horticulturists. who by their aid
are enabled to keep in check the null
DUPLICATION OF the insect tribes which
prey upon their fruits, flowers. etc.

as roasting chickens. With the lighter
breeds the former method usually
brings the best returns. while in the
case OF the American and Asiatic
breeds it will often be much more
profitable to hold them for roasting.
The advantages of capon production
are larger and heavier birds at killing
time, sweeter and finer, favored meat
and a much higher selling value, to-
gether with a lower cost Of produc-
ton.
The day old chick business offers ex-
ceptional opportunities to the man
with small piece of land, and Gus
tom Matching is one of the modern de-
velopments Of the past decade.
Possibilities in raising of breeding
stock and in production of Matching
eggs are iimitless. Success depends
upon quality and ability to advertise.

STEAM OF BENEFIT TO SOIL
English Gardeners Make Use Of Unique
Scheme TO Destroy lnsects-Aiso
Increases Fertility.

For some time certain growers Of
tomatoes, cucumbers and similar vege-
tables for the London market have
been injecting steam into the soil with
a view to destroying certain insects
and slugs, says Popular Electricity.
It is reported that the plan works very
well for that purpose. but the opera
ton brought to light an unexpected
fact; namely, that the soil thus treat
ed increased greatly in fertility. SO
greatly, in fact, that the ordinary
amount OF manure cannot be used af-
terward.
This effect has been explained as be-
ing due to the sterilization produced
by the steam, which kills the phago-
cytes or protocol which in ordinary
circumstances keep down the number
of bacteria in the soil whose opera
fions are beneficent in turning organ
10 nitrogen into a form suitable for
plant food.

Nation Facing Famine.
I'VE are, therefore, face to face

has been faced in the history of the
world-an entire nation in a state
of famine and that within half days

The completeness Of the destruc-

ministers, who described numerous
appliances the German soldiers car
ried for destroying property. Not only
were hand bombs carried, but each
soldier was supplied with a quantity
OF small black discs a little bigger
than 6-penny piece.
81 saw some of these discs which
had been taken from German soldiers
on the battlefield. They were de-
scribed as composed of compressed
benzine. When lighted they burn
brilliantly for a few minutes and are
sufficient to start whatever fire is
necessary after the explosion of a
bomb.
