FRuGALITY ON THE FARM
Seems to Be Generally Recognized
That AgrleuIturist 10 Seldom q
, SpendthrIft.

The simplicity, frugaiity and thrift
Of Life in the country, pictured as fol
lows by Archbishop Messmer. who evil
IDENTIFY is fond Of his subject as well
as Intimately familiar with it, makes
q striking contrast with the wasteful
extravagance seen in the cities:
Country life seems to be particu'
larry productive Of habits Of frugality
and economy. As rule, you do not
see much high life on farms: what
there Is comes from the city. You see
not many dainties on the farmers ta,
BILE. A good, substantial meal of coun.
try products, bread Of his own baking,
ham of his own smoking, good water
from his own well, and perhaps some
hard cider from his own press-that's q
all he wants Economy-did you ever
hear of farmer spendthrift? He is q
rare bird Is 1t not proverbial that
nothing ia 30 hard as to pull dollar
from a farmers pocket? He viii give
you bushels Of oats or potatoes. sack
of cabbageheads. chicken or even q
goose, q ham. or 9 mutton-leg-all
things that you cannot easily take
along; but cash, oh, you must please
wait until he has sold his stock, or
grain or potatoes. Well. let us admit
that this may be little overdone-
the fact remains that country folks are
known all over the world as saving
class-far more than city folk. II 1t
happens that q farmer has got some
money, he is very slow in putting 1t
out on speculation, he is afraid Of oil
and mining stocks. He puts 1t In the
bank, or. better still. on good and safe
mortgages. He saves"

ABSURD WORKING
OF Grew LAW
Little Road Owned by Farmers
Must Put Five Men on
Ninky Trains.
Oxford. Pa. March 3.

The faln.eIs Ia the southern cor.
ners nf Ctas+nr and ancaster coun-t
ties are UP "a arms against the Full
Crew-"excess man crew"-Law.
There is very obvious reason for
this. They see the absurdity of the
workings of this law carried to an
extreme. More than this. they have
very direct interest in the matter.
About six months ago some forty OF
the richer farmers of this section
bought the Lancaster, Oxford and
Southern Railway for $4,000.
This is little railroad with twenty
eight miles of line. 1t makes the only
transportation service through q
country with about 25O0 population.
There is not much traffic on the road,
either passengers or freight. In fact,
there are only two or three trains
day, each of which carries one pas
senger coach and as many freight
cars as the traffic requires. 1t Is the
rarest thing to see train Of ten
cars. The average train consists Of
two to FIVE cars.
Under the law each train, even IL
made up Of only four cars, must carry
crew Of FIVE men-two on the engine
and three on the train This also
holds if there are only two cars, as
sometimes happens, when one Of
them carries freight. for the law pro-
vides that no railroad can operate
over its road any freight train con-
sisting of less than thirty freight or
other cars with train crew consist
ing of less than FIVE persons" The
farmer owners of this little railroad
calculate that the wages Of train
crew of five men almost equal the
average earnings of three cars.

BLOT ON NAPoLEoN's FAME
Slaughter Of DefenseIess Prisoners
After Jaffa unrecognized as Act
Of Warfare.

No French victory was ever marked
by more unbridled license than that
which the victorious troops practiced
at jana But what followed was
worse. Although the prisoners Of war
were too numerous for the ordinary
usage, yet they should have been treat
ed according to the terms of quarter
they had exacted
On the 7th council of war unani'
mously voted that the old rule under
which no quarter is given to defenders
In an assault should be applied to
them. For two days Bonaparte hes.
itated. but on the 9Th his decision was
taken.
A few Egyptians were sent home
and the remainder of the prisoners, to
gether with the 800 militia from Ell
Arish, were marched to the beach and
shot. Two eyewitnesses estimated II
-one ut 1000, the other at 1000.
Il have been severe with those oil
your troops who violated the laws OF
war;" wrote the author of the deed to
Djezzar. All winter long he had been
dealing as an Oriental with Orientals
and this was but a piece of the same
conduct-The Life of Napoleon Bona

INDIAN GAVE TOWN NAME
medicine Hat" In Canada, Derived
Peculiar cognomen From Head
dress Of Chief.

Not many persons know what was
the origin Of the strange name borne
by the Canadian city that Rudyard
Kipling once called the city born
lucky"
The word medicine" means more to
an Indian than to US. We think of it
as meaning something nasty that is
good for US, but the Indian distin-
guishes as good medicine" and bad
medicine" anything that he fancies
win change his fortunes for better or
for worse. Imagine that Lo is hunting
antelope and meeting with no success.
Presently he finds an empty cartridge
shell or the top Of tomato tin, and
shortly afterward he gets shot at his
game. Can he doubt that the piece Of
tin or the shell gave the luck? Not
he. He wears that fragment of toma-
to tin or empty shell about his neck
with his other jewelry. and it is good
medicine"
Several years ago there was a Black
foot chief who lived in the vicinity of
Seven Persons river, where now stands
the city Of Medicine Hat He and his
tribe were fond of hunting and of max
ing war on their enemies, the Crees.
This chief always wore a headdress of
feathers that he called his medicine
hat" for he thought that it brought
him good fortune.
1t was dark day for the chief when
he last met the Crees at the place
where now stands the growing city.
He and his men fell upon the enemy
with great bravery. and even put them
to ignominious fight. But just then a
gust Of wind whirled out of the west,
caught the magic hat, and tossed 1t
into the swift-running Saskatchewan
river. Instantly the poor chief lost
all confidence in himself and his cause,
and with victory In his hand he fore
bore to grasp it. but fed over the
plains toward the Rockies, followed by
his tribe.-Youth's Companion.

War and Copper.

Since the commencement OF the
twentieth century nearly 5000, 900 tons
OF copper have been extracted from
their ores, and have been consumed In
the chief manufacturing countries of
the world, and now the demands of
war are further diminishing the
worlds copper supplies. The value OF
this metal, at an average price Of ESQ
per ton for the whole period, is E 480.-
100000, or nearly two thirds OF our ma
tional debt. How long can the earth
continue to supply this enormous
amount OF copper, or to keep pace
with the increasingly rapid growth in
the demand of the red metal? 1t would
certainly seem quite probable that
within the next twenty years all the
known" ore reserves of the existing
mines will be worked out, and that un-
less new ore deposits OF vast extent
are discovered. copper will become one
Of the rarer and more costly metals be-
fore half the century is passed away.

.suraeon,a Elrat Ana.

This is the sad story of a man who
was rendered hors de combat at his
first drill. He had joined the o. T. c.
He was anxious to be as smart as his
more experienced comrades. In the
endeavor to give an extra smart salute
he managed to dislocate his shoulder.
Happily there were some medical stu
dents in the company who contrived
to replace 1t. One consoled the suffer
or by telling him classic medical
story. To put q shoulder back the
surgeon puts his foot against the pa
tents armpit and pulls strongly at the
arm. A student had done this, when
the examiner said: Boots, sir! How
dare you keep boots on?" The stu
dent meekly bent down and began to
unlace the patients boots.-Manches-

WHEN KINGS WERE FIGHTERS
In the Old Days Rulers Were Not
Kept Out Of Battle, But Led
Their Soldiers.

The tendency Of czars. kaisers, kings
and other potentates to get into the
European war personally Is marked
Several times 1t has been necessary to
pull the kaiser OF the firing line. King
George, beyond all doubt. IL just az
brave, and the czar Is known to have 9
similar hankering for the trenches. As
for the king Of Italy. II his country
were to enter the war 1t would be en-
tirely impossible to keep the gallant
Victor Emmanuel II out of the first
fight that happened. with his inherit
ance from long line Of fighting kings
and particularly from his father. King
Humbert, whose personal intrepidity,
shown at Novara and elsewhere, over
came all dynastic objections to his ex.
posure to bullets and bombshells.
It must indeed be CALLING to the EN-.
perors and kings to have to keep out
of these scraps. In the old days it was
always the business OF kings to lead
their troops in the very forefront OF
battle. Consider Richard Coeur de
Lion, for instance. He fought day aft.
er day In the Crusades, performing
prodigies Of valor. Even Richard III.
the alleged hunchback, stood or rode
for hours In the front rank, slashing
and spearing and beating down all op-
position. In those days q king had to
be fighter. In other words. every inch

Then, after he got the money, he
faxed up that lyin' statement to keep
me in stripes because he was afraid
Of me. If I'd gone straight home the
detectives were ready to pinch me.
But didn't. I went to the scoundrel

Turning to the judge, he flung out
his wasted hands.

The prisoner threw his head on his
arms and leaned against the rail in a
huddled heap. The members of the
jury, in various cramped attitudes,
stared at the floor or out the win
dows. Throughout the court room was
deep silence, broken here and there
by a spasmodic sob.
Presently the little old woman tot
tered toward the prisoners box and
reached up her bony hands from un-
der her shawl AS she felt his con-
vulsive grasp, she pressed her wasted
cheeks against his arm and cried soft
1y.
TITS all right, old lady" he muttered
hoarsely without looking up. stop it
now. Don't take on-don't"
The whispering died away as the
Judge looked up from the brief on
which he had been tracing patterns,
cleared his throat several times, and
frowned
"In accordance with the verdict of
the court" he commenced, and then
paused to cough. '1n accordance with
the verdict-that is to say-in view OF
extenuating circumstances = sentence

There was general shutting of feet
and chairs as the large audience rose
to depart.
In short while the room was empty

Deadly GobservatIon Mines .

The Conservation mine" is worked
from station on shore. The firing
pins are fixed in a buoy, which floats
a few feet beneath the surface of the
water. and above the explosive reser-
voir. An electric cable runs from the
anchor. beneath the bottom, to the
shore station When a pin is driven
into the top buoy, it causes bell to
ring or a light, to flash in the shore
station, warning the observer on duty
that a vessel is passing over mine
The observer thereupon closes the
firing circuit and the mine explodes.

How Bookworms Are rraoked


To guard the 100000 books in the
New York library against the raw
ages of bookworms and other insects,
which feed upon the paper, the glue
on the backs. and the cloth and leath-
er bindings, constant care is ex-
ercised, and keen watch kept for
any evidence of their activities. One
woman is assigned exclusively to this
work. When treating the books, she
wears a huge apron Which completely
covers her gown. A cheesecloth veil
protects her face against the germs
which lurk in the musty documents,
and even the air she breathes is
screened against contagion. Close
touch is kept with the health depart
ment, and books which have been re-
turned from infected areas are fumi-
gated before being restored to circu-
lation.
