London. March 26.-Although it is
generally conceded that Premier AS

parliament, the government is by no

still has to deal with the army officers
in Ireland under the new conditions
established by the premier's speech in

Brigadier General Cough declares
this will mean wholesale designations
and the disruption of the army. The
premier's speech won back the sup
port, not only of the liberals, but of

TIMELY POULTRY NOTES..

Crowded houses. breeders or coops
will result in the death to some OF
the inmates. 1t is better to increase
the capacity Of your plant or else
hatch fewer chicks.
Good wheat at full price is cheaper
for poultry feed than screenings at
half price.
Good care and proper treatment will
make any flock more productive.
A change of diet or Il change of
range often starts late Matched chicks
to growing rapidly. This procedure is
also very good with my flock that does
not seem to be doing we'll.

but breeding to get better poultry for
! eggs and meat.
There is no breed Of hens that lay
uniformly dark eggs Eggs are dark
er ut the beginning than ut the end Of
a litter and darker in winter than III
summer. If you want dark shellcd
eggs select the darkest for incubation
and keep up the practice through a
term of years.
Until chicks are old enough to go to
roost they almost invariably bunch
! together III the same corner Of the
house ut night. This spot must be
kept clear of red mites if you want
your chicks to grow. Sweep the floor

AGE OF MAN IN EUROPE.
Placed as High as 100000 Years by
Professor Geikie.

In his work, The Antiquity Of Man
In Europe Professor James Geikie
Of Edinburgh university declares his
belief that man has inhabited Europe
between 250.OOO and 100000 years.
All such estimates are based on geo.
logical facts, such as the rate at which
sediment is deposited or at which stall.

determine with any accuracy, but no
now doubts that nan is far older
than men of science originally suppos-
ed him to be.
when we reject" says Professor
Geikie, 'on the many geographical
changes that man has witnessed-the
submergence and ~re-elevation of enOr
nous tracts, the erosion of valleys and
mutation, when we consider that he
has lived through a succession Of stu
pendous climatic revolutions: that he
has seen widely contrasted flOras and
faunas alternately occupying our CONT.

PUNISHED WHOLE REGIMENT.
Severe Penalty For Officers and Men
For Cowardice,

foC N0WaT0ICe.
Punishment for cowardice in the
German army at the time Of the Thir-
ty Years war was so severe as to be
ferocious. In the year 164o the Swed-
ish General Torstensson stormed Leip-
zig. A force under the command of
the Grand Duke Leopold gave him bat
tie before the gates of the city, but
during the engagement the Madlo-
nische regiment became suddenly pan
ic stricken and fed.
Punishment Immediately followed.
When the regiment had again assem-
bled six other regiments surrounded
it and tried it by court martial in the
open field. The verdict was that the
colonel and the captains should die by
the sword and that every tenth man
among the noncommissiOned officers
and men should be hanged.
The stern verdict was carried out to
the letter, except that at the request
of Leopold the men were shot instead
of hanged. Colonel George Madlo-
nische was Deheaded after he had
sought in vain for n pardon. The sur-
vivors were consigned to quarters with
other commands, and the regiment new
err regained its name or former pres
tige. In those days there was no alter
native but to be brave. Cowardice
meant either death or everlasting dis
grace.-Youth's Companion.

Garlic Flavor In Milk.

The garlic flavor of milk and cream
may be removed. according to govern
ment reports, when filtered and washed
air is blown through hot milk for
thirty to sixty minutes. But to do this
successfully milk must be raised to
about 14o degrees and kept from foam-
ing when the air is blown through. \
special apparatus has been devised
through which the air is pumped into
the milk ut the rate of about one-tifth
cubic foot to Il gallon Of milk in Il min
ute. The temperature of the milk is
important, as air blown into cold milk
does not renlove the garlic flavor and
also has Il tendency to churn the fat.
A slightly longer blowing period is re-
uuired to r'move the garlic flavor from
cream. When milk or cream is treated
by this process it is found that there
is II loss by evaporation which amounts
to > OF ) per cent.

For fattening horses one feeder Sc
cured four pounds gain daily on horses

ground corn and fourteen pounds al

as IL partial substitute for oats in a
grain ration, as corn alone is apt to
produce digestive troubles. Alfalfa

Il cheaper feed than bran OF other com
mercial ~byproducts. One breeder stat

was known to have been there during
the limit of time when the jewels
must have been taken.
No hope was entertained of regain
ing the lost jewels, but 1t was finally
decided to employ a detective for the
purpose Of making an effort to solve
the mystery. Edward Joyce was sent
to the house by the agency applied to
and, after u thorough examination OF
every one in the house, set about
looking over the premises. He tested
every lock Of both door and window
and found all in good order, though
no II could vouch for the window on
the second story having been locked.
In the rear Of the house was a grape
arbor not quite so high as the second
story windows and about ten feet
from the house. Any one by climb
ing the arbor, could rest a twelve foot
ladder on it and thus reach the win
dow. The detective, by means of a
magnifying glass, discovered foot
marks on the side Stats and one of the
Stats had been freshly broken. The
window near the arbor opened into the
hall in which stood the safe.
The detective. after making an ex-
animation of this route to the safe, de-
clared that the house must have been
entered by it and the robbery commit
ted at the same time. But he vas no
nearer to how the safe could have been
unlocked and relocked than before. \
theory was advanced that the thief had
gone to Mr.. Kawlins' clothes. stolen
the safe key and replaced it after com.
hitting the theft. But Mr.. KaWlins,
when at home, slept with his bedroom
door locked and was not at home when
the jewels were taken.
Mr.. Joyce's next step was to call
for the safe key. On receiving it he
slipped it through his fingers and no.
ticed that it felt as if it had been
WaXed. Bringing a powerful pocket
microscope to bear on it. he asked
Mr.. Rawlins if it had been out of his
possession. The reply at first was
NO" but presently remembering that
he had loaned his keys for a few min
utes to Il man on the boat to try if
any of the keys would fit his suit case
lock Mr.. Rawlins told the story Of the
loan. The detective handed him his
key and said:
The problem of how your safe was
opened is very plain. AS to your re
covering the jewels, that is another
matter. When the man who borrowed
your keys carried them into his state
room he took an impression with way
Of your safe key. He doubtless knew
or learned afterward who you were ant
where you lived. With Il safe key made
from the impression he had taken il

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

The forcing Of rhubarb in home cell
lars is becoming quite popular. Soil
should be saved this fall and stored
where it will be available for use dur
ing the winter. Any kind Of good, rich
garden loan may be used for this pur-
pose. The roots are not dug up until
late in the fall or until there is hard
freezing weather.
1t is customary to leave the harder
roots, such as horseradish, parSnip and
satisfy. in the ground I'LL winter, al
though some commercial growers pre-
fer to dig part Of the crop in the fall
and make disposition of the roots
through the winter season. The latter
plan is desirable because it does not
place on the market such Il large guam
tity of roots ut one time.
If YOU want spinach for use in early
spring, ut the time when dandelion
greens are ripe, SOW seed in Septem-
Der or October. Frequently it does
not winter we'll, especially if not pro-
tected by covering lightly With litter.

there need be no failure to grow Just
as good plants in the window box as

How the Safe Was Opened
By ALBERT H. HANSEN

\ GENTLEMAN boarded a boat

III II afternoon, went to the
purser's office and engaged a
stateroom, giving his name. Edgar
1tawlins. He was followed by n man
VINO was given q room near him and
whose name was entered as Thomas
Brown. In the evening as Mr.. Raw
ms was coming out of his room he
was met by Mr.. Brown, who said:
Beg pardon, sir! Have you a bunch
of keys:'
II have"
81 have left the key of my suit case
at home. Would you kindly let me
have your ring that l may see If there
is one on it that will fit my lock:"
Mr.. Kawlins produced his keys and
handed them to Brown. who went into
his stateroom. He remained there sew
eral minutes, then returned and thank
ed the man who had favored him, re-
greeting that he had not found a key
that would serve his purpose, but he
was just as much obliged.
Mr.. Hawlins forgot this seemingly
%unimportant episode. making a journey
to Chicago and returning within a
week. The day after his arrival at
home he went to his private safe,
opened it. put away some papers that
he had taken with him on his journey
ticed that Il drawer in which his wife
kept some valuable jewels was partly
open. He pushed it back in place,
! then, he knew not why, pulled it out
far enough to enable him to look
within.
1t was empty!
He examined every other drawer In
the safe to see if the jewels had been
placed elsewhere, then called hi wife
and asked her If she had removed
them. She said she had not. A thor
ough search of the safe was made. but
the jewels We're not found. There
had been no breaking into the house,
SO far as was known. and if there had
been the safe could not have been
opened and locked again without the
key, which Mr.. Rawlins always kept
in his possession. and there was nc
duplicate.
The loss Of the jewels was a mys.
terry. If the lock had been picked it
must have been done by some m
who lived in the house. Yet there was
no one there who had the mechanical
skill requisite to pick a lock and nc
one suspected of having the slightest
desire to perpetrate a theft. The in.
mates consisted of Mr.. and Mrs. Raw.

Hog Doesn't Like Icy Water.

Hogs of AL kinds are likely to be-

cold weather the animals will hardly
ever drink as much water as they real
~ ought to take. If the water is
drawn from a deep we'll three or four
times a day it will help to get them to

and will drink no more than his thirst

tanks during the winter.

New Chef Made Splendid Dinner With

A year or two ago l was chef in a

looked around the kitchen garden, and
in the dust bin that stood in the back
yard l saw a mixture of food that
could have been. turned into q first
class dinner.
In about four quarts Of milk that
had turned sour were swimming stale
half loaves, drumsticks of fowls, old
ham bones, cold boiled potatoes, trim
mings of dough made for piecrusts.
cracked eggs, some old Goldfish and
some spoiled macaroni.
Next day.I found q second consign.
ment, very similar, about to be carried
away and thrown out. l stopped this
lot. sorted it out and, with tho help..of
a little stock, half a dozen eggs and
a hare that had been shot on the es-
tate, served a seven course dinner for
a family of ten that night, and the
master of the household called me up
and complimented me before the whole
family ON the best dinner they had
had for a year.
Afterward his wife sent for me and
told me that. though pleased with the
dinner, she feared I had been too x-
travagant and said that her, rule was
not to allow more than Z shillings per
head In housekeeping. 1t was a Sc
we're shock to her to hear 1 had fed
