And the cellar offered certainly
curious picture. Fourteen soldiers sat
around makeshift table, at the head
of which-on a barbour officer had
presided We had evidently inter
rupted a meal. An iron bedstead,
with planks and few punches of
straw, took up one corner; a tier of
knapsacks and some more straw, lined
the opposite wall. An old-fashioned
gramophone rescued from the ruins,
formed conspicuous piece of furni-
ture, but the records had been
smashed. Still, one gets inventive
when time is long and tedious-and it
has been very slow around here these
last days-so some of the records were
pasted together on a piece OF card
board, and with the assistance of
helping finger, bridging over the gaps
and rents, the old machine managed
to give Carmen" "La Boheme." and
some popular French,airs:

The cellar was lit by an improvised
little torch in bottle, and the men
around the table with their two weeks

Seeking a Husband.

Nat e. Harris, recently elected gov
ernor of Georgia, merrily smiled the
other evening when the converse
ton in the lobby of hotel turned to-
the subject of benedicts. He said he
was reminded of little incident.
Some time ago pretty young won--
an entered a moving picture theater
and took a seat well toward the front.
Finally the lights were turned on, re-
vealing a young married couple with
whom she was acquainted sitting be-
side her.
"Why, Clara!" exclaimed the young
married woman, noticing that the
other was unattended. What in the
world are you doing here?"
81 am looking for husband, dear"
was the quiet response of Clara.
Looking for husband" returned
the married woman, wonderingly-
"Why, you have husband"
"Yes, know" was the sighful re-
joinder of the late conner. That's the
one I'm looking or."-Philadelphia

HOLD QUEER BELIEFS
sUPERSTITIoNS OF THE NATIVES
OF INDIA.
Toad Soup as a Cure for Insanity 49,
One of Them-Caste Question Al
ways of Profound lmpor-
lance.

Hidden among the pages Of status
tics and maps in the 1911 general re-
port on the census of India are some
quaint stories of Indian beliefs ana,
superstitions Mr.. O'Malley, who sG--
perintended the census taking in Ben
gal. Bihar and Orissa, tells us that the
lower classes think that insanity Is
due to excess of bile in the system or
to worms in the head.
Neglect of the worship of the godss
or the curse of Yogi Sadhu or other
holy man may produce it. Madness
being due to possession by an evlh
spirit, every attempt is made to APP
pease or exercise it. The exorclsts'
hold smoking chilies to the nostrils>
of the patient and chant mantras, ad-
dressing the spirit in obscene lam
guage, all with the idea of driving it
away. When these means prove futllef
they prescribe diet calculated to
force the spirit to leave his victim IN
fear of losing his caste. The unfortu--
nate patient has therefore to consume
soup made of toads, etc. When these
abominable nostrums fail the use OF
medicated oils and of Indigenous
herbs and drugs is resorted to-"
The medical treatment of the insane
sometimes takes the following forms:
"The mud taken from putrid tanks
is plastered on the patients head, or
aloe pulp is mixed with water and ap--
piled in the form of an emulsion. A.
favorite remedy is soup made from a.
particular kind of frog"
Again, the caste question is one
which is of particular Importance In
many of the Eastern provinces, and it
is told how one chief excommunicated
the recalcitrants in one highly organ
lied caste which had been split into
two hostile camps, and so effectuaL
and binding was this order that not
only did the BARRIERS, washermen and
priests of the state, who had hitherto
served them refuse to work for thenD.
but the services could not be OBJ
tanned even of BARRIERS, washermen
and priests residing outside the state.
This order was strictly enforced for
some time. The men OF this caste
are clean-shaven and very we'll
groomed and dressed, but when the
dispute was eventually settled the per-
sons affected by the order had long,.
dirt-matted boards, the hair of their
heads was in long strands and filthy
in the extreme, and their clothes were
beyond description for uncleanliness~

Temperature and conductabillty.

1t has been known that some mate
rails are better conductors of cleo
tricity than others, and now Professor
Kamerlingh-Onnes of Leyden has dis
covered that at certain very low tenn
peratures many metals which are con-
ductors of electricity lose every trace
Of resistance to the current and be-
come what he calls "superconductors."
The finest wires of tin and lead do not
become heated under the highest cur
rents. 1t is strange that when the
critical temperature is lowered even
slightly the superconductivity ceases
and the metal behaves as at other low
temperatures.

GOOD YEAR FOR HOGS

(By ]. C. McAmis. Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
To-day is January first, day when
farmers ought to be, and many are,
thinking over the mistakes and sue
cesses Of last year with the resolve
to make 1915 better one. Surely after
the lessons that the year has taught
in the South, we are resolved to have
more livestock. Above all, we are
more determined than ever to produce
the pork for home use. If We did that
last year, is there not a better and
cheaper way to do it in 1915?
The year begins with hogs selling
at high prices, with no prospect of any
considerable reduction. This means
that it is an expensive failure If we
do not supply our own needs and a
great saving if we do. If we grow a
surplus it is just as certain to mean
profit, provided we adopt the most
economical methods.
We must not forget that the year
begins with corn selling at high prices,
which means if we feed corn alone,
the cost of pork production must be
high in the same ratio. But when
green pastures are used the price of
pork is far less dependent upon the
price Of corn.
Alfalfa, clover, soy beans and rape
may be grown as cheaply as when
hogs were selling for four and five
cents per pound, perhaps cheaper, be-
cause we have learned more about
them and their use. Many farmers
are selling corn to hogs for $1.O0 to
$15O per bushel, and besides holding
the corn (the plant food in it, on the
pasture lot.
Just how, when and where to begin
on a plan for green pastures Is what
blocks many who are convinced Of
the imperative need Of them and
realize the profits that they insure.

Tyranny of the Tailor.

Tailors are growing as tyrannicaI
as dressmakers. A West end tailor
told me quite seriously that he habit
ually declined to make a dress suit foa
any customer who would not consent
to have his shirts specially cut so as
to insure the correct fit of the waist
coat. He added that he had refused
to sell lounge suits to several would-be
customers who we're quite willing to
pay the high price demanded, simply
because in his opinion, their poor
physique or doubtful sartorial distinc.
ton would be bad advertisement for
his clothes.
Every man who wears his new suits
must discard every tie he already pos
sesses, and purchase special ties Of the
same pattern as the suits, but two
shades-he emphasized this point
two shades darker. Well, welll-Lon-

IN WINTER
(By C. A. Keffer, Division of Exten-

A hot bed makes a winter supply
of fresh salad vegetables possible.
Make the bed in January. At one side
SOW a row of Scarlet Forcing radish,
and a row of Way-a-head or Boston
Market lettuce. In two or three weeks
the lettuce will be ready to transplant,
and in four weeks the radish will be
ready for use. Transplant the lettuce
four by four inches in the hot bed,
and drop two or three radish seed be-
tween the transplants. The radish
will be ready for use before being
crowded by the lettuce, and alternate
lettuce plants can be used, or reset.
They will not be headed by the time
they meet, but the growth will be so
rapid that the leaves can be used
green The remaining plants, stand
ing eight by eight inches apart, will
head nicely in late March, about the
time the first sowing can be made in
the open.
Big Boston or May King, sown in
hot bed in January and transplanted
in February can be set in the open in
March to make exceptionally fine
heads in late April or May. Iceburg,
soWn in hot bed in February, trans
planted in March, and set in the gar
den in early April, completes the let.

This was that Of red-legged part

ball of earth measuring seven and
three-quarters inches in circumference,
and weighing six and three-quarters
ounces around one of it's feet. After
softening the earth number of seeds
were removed therefrom and sowed.
No fewer than 50 pants came up, rep
resenting at least five species. This
experiment demonstrated one of the
many ways in which birds may dis
perse seeds.
