Branding the Innocent.

When a witness under cross ex-

eyes" or "No" to all questions and
is then asked. "Have you stopped
beating your wife?" he feels that
something is wrong with a system
of court procedure that puts him in
that position. Either eyes" or mo"
convicts him of beating his wife at
some time or other. Such trick
questions are heard in court every
day and the witness gets little salts
faction out of the assurance that he
can explain on denomination If
the lawyer on his side of the case
thinks it worth while to give him a
chance and does not forget to do SO.

First Steam Battleship.

In comparison with the Dread
noughts Of the present day the
Demologos, the first steam war YES
sci ever built, furnishes some inter
esting contrasts. This ship was 1877
feet long. 1t made its first speed
trial on July 4, 1914, and develop
ed a speed of little more than six
miles an hour, which was thought
to be very good at that time. The
Demologos never engaged in battle.
On June 4, 1929, the ship was de-
stroyed in the New York navy yard
by an explosion of its boilers, which
killed twenty-nine persons. Some OF
the naval launches of the present
time have a greater horsepower
than that of the Demologos.

Woodcraft.

tsNo one who studies mans be-
ginnings in the light of modern re-
search can doubt that woodcraft
was the earliest of our sciences,
writes Ernest Thompson-Seton. cit
was woodcraft, indeed, that con-
structed man out of the crude and
british stuff that was then the best
live product of the earth. We can
see a little Of the process today in
our children, just as we see the
baby panther wear first the spotted
coat of his long past forbears be-
fore he dons the brown of his older
kin. And weightier yet, it seems to
me that woodcraft, in it's broad en-
tirety, more than any other activity
is calculated to save our species
from decay"

Rye should be cut for silage when In

are in the dough stage. AS the grain
begins to ripen and get hard the stems
