Historic cIontan.

Clontarf is one of the most historic
spots in Ireland. 1t was there that.
on Good Friday, April 20. 1914, Brian
Boru and the men of Munster. Con-
naught and Meath fought the Danes.
Brian was killed in his tent; Sigurd,
Earl Of Orkney and Caithness, per-
ished also. and 1000 Irishmen and
$4,000 Danes are said to have fallen.
Victory remained with the Irish, but
the Danes reoccupied Dublin
In modern times O'ConnelPs mon
ster meetings for Repeal were to have
eliminated at Clontarf But the meet
ing was prohibited by the government,
and O'Connell was put upon his trial
for conspiracy and convicted, though
the verdict was eventually reversed
by the house of lords.

D2n't Sit Crosslegged

The next time that YOU ride in a street
car notice the number OF people that sit
cross legged. 1t has been estimated that
tour fifths of them do. Probably YOU do.
A prominent London physician has Inves-
tigated tile habit and his advice is don't
SIT cross legged" He states that the
prime objection to the habit is that the
return flow of blood is stopped at the
knee, the result being that the veins in
the legs begin to swell up. As all of the
weight OF the body is thrown to one side
the under leg is likely to go to sleep.
The body should be equally balanced.
Much crossing OF the legs is also danger.
Gus in that it is likely to cause lopsided-
ness. The limbs should be allowed to
rest easily. SO that the flow of blood
Is natural and the body equally balanced

An Undesirable Industry.

A recent consular reeort from faultos.
Peru, announces the beginning of a new
industry in that vicinity 1t is described
as he gathering OF egret feathers"
1t IS generally known IN this country
that the egret plumes which were form
erly valued as hat adornments. are grown
by the female bird only in the nesting
season. In order to obtain the plumes
the mother bird is killed, and her brood
OF nestlings starves to death. Human
vanity was never served by more cruel
practice.
Public sentiment against adornment Of
this kind reached such degree of anan-
unity IN the United States that a strict law
was passed to prohibit not only the i'm
porla'ion Of aigreues for mercantile pur-
poses, but also the bringing IN of the
plumes under any pretext whatever.
The American market is thus closed
The industrious Peruvians, who have
taken to the Strengthening business. must
be inspired by hope OF financial returns
in South America or possibly in Europe.
Just at present the European field is not
promising = Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Two Story Lake.

OIe of the wonders of Mexico is the
sail-produclng lake near Salinas Station.
on the Tampico Division of the Mexican
Central Railway, II miles west Of San
Luis POtOsi. Ii may well be termed a
two story lake, for at times there is a
lake Of fresh water everything the salt
lake. A watertight roof of green mud
separates the fresh from the salt water.
For a large part of the year there is no
fresh water lake there The sun ticks it
up as soon as the rainy season is over.
The salt secured from this lake goes
all over Mexico The lake has been
worked for about IS wears. The whole
town OF over 5 600 makes its living from
the salt.
The property is owned BY family or
estate, but it is said that not one of the
owners has lived there tor many wears.
The only residence of the owners is still
standing at Salina. Its massive walls
and towers and turrets give the place a
resemblance to fort or feudal castle

TREAT YOUR SEED
WHEAT FOR SMUT
Insure Clean Seed BY Killing the
Spores OF Sinking Smut With
FormaIin.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

When a field of smutted wheat is
threshed, many of the smut balls"
are broken and the sound grains are
covered with the smut dust As far
as is known. this is practically the
only way infection takes place to any
serious extent This infection is
especially serious when a clean crop
is threshed with a machine that has
just threshed a smutted crop.
Before treating your wheat for stink
ing smut, it is best to remove all IN
broken smut balls. Since the smut
balls are much lighter than the sound
grain, thorough tanning will generally
do this If tanning will not do it. the
grain should be poured into barrel
of cold water and thoroughly stirred
go that all the smut balls will come
to the surface where they can be

The Moon and Timber.

1t may be asked in all seriousness
how much longer the superstition will
live which ascribes to the moon an
influence over timber? This unset
entifc and improbable claim has long
held a place in the backwoods, where
people were prone to accept the teach
ings of tradition without much con-
Germ about cause and effect; but it
is rather late in the day now for edu-
Gated people to attribute TO the dead,
inert moon an influence on vegetation.
II there Is anything certain 1t is
that the moon has no observable effect
on the flow Of q trees sap or on the
characters and qualities of the wood.
1t can be argued scientifically that
it cannot have, and it has been dem
onstrated in practice that it does not
have such effect. Apparently there is
some mistake in the statement that
the telling is done by moonlight, or
with regard to any phase Of the moon.
Accounts Of modern mahogany-logging
operations in America and Africa do
not mention that custom. In some OF
the tropical regions hauling logs from
the woods is done at night because the
heat by day cannot be endured by the
men and teams.-Hardwood Record.

WOLVES ARE HARD TO TRAP
Shares, TO Be at All Effective, Must Be
Handled Only With Oil.
Soaked Gloves.

Wolves are the most difficult Of all
animals to traps, and it is usually by
working upon their uncomfortable curl
osity that they are most easily de-
ceived. The campfire set" is one Of
the best When a man makes camp in
the forest the wolves, II there are any
near, are sure to note his whereabouts
When he has gone they trot up to in
vestigate the ground. and with due
caution pick up any scraps he may
have left lying about. The campfire
set" is made as follows: First, hollow
out an oblong hole in the ground. jus!
large enough to take the trap, and per
haps five inches deep. Cover the trap
with sheet Of brown paper. and over
this fill the hole with damp earth.
Then light a fire on the top of it, and
into the fire. as it grows low, throw a
few scraps OF raw meat
Should a wolf come along TO inves.
ltigate the place, he is sure to scent
the cooked meat, and will start
scratching in the ashes for it. thus, OF
course springing the trap.
One OF the greatest difficulties in
wolf-trapping is to hide the aforesaid
telltale scents, so keen is their sense
OF smell. The traps must never be
handled with the naked fingers. Old
gloves, soaked in oil or fat, are used,
and it is best to smoke the trap over a
'smudge" fire before setting it, and
then inclose it in a paper bag.-H.

they viii drain completely, or dump
the grain out in pile. Cover the pile
with sack or canvas, and allow it to
remain in this way for u hours or
more. Then the grain should be spread
out on clean floor to dry. This
amount Of solution should be sufficient
for treating 40 to 50 bushels OF wheat.
A good plan is to treat the seed in
the evening and let it lay in the COW
cred pile untf morning. About one
gallon of the solution win be required
for every bushel of grain. Another
method is to sprinkle the solution on
instead Of immersing the grain. Ac-

What are to become Of the iobless
girls Of Chicago?
The National Civic Federation Of
New York estimates that in the east
ern metropolis 10000 girls and wo-
men have been thrown out of work
since the beginning of the war.
Mary Anderson of the Chicago Wo-
mems Trade Union League estimates
that in this city there are or will
be shortly as large a number.
The National Civic Federation are
making preparations to open a
bureau through which some Of these
girls at least might obtain positions.
In Chicago the Chicago Telephone
Co., the Deering Harvester Works,
the Western Electric Co. and other
large concerns have let several hun
dred girl employees go and placed
hundreds of the remaining employees
on shorter hours.
The Women's Trade Union League
would aid in any employment bureau
movement that might be started here.
1t is believed that many clubwomen
would lend a hand.
