During the late Lord Feels tenure of the speakership he was informed that the mace ordered out of the house of commons by Cromwell had been dis covered in Jamaica. On inquiry the in- formation proved to be false, but it was found that Jamaica at one time ~,ssed a mace presented by Charles H., which, like the earlier maces used at Westminster, has vanished. In 1G7T Jamaica was overwhelmed by an earth quake, and among many public build ings engulfed at Port Royal was par liament house. With the wreck disap- peared King Charles mace.-London Spectator.

SEVENTEEN SHIPS ARE
 SUNK IN THREE DAYS
German Submarines Active
 Around British Isles.

Seventeen vessels, ranging in size from a 3,074 ton steamship to little slow moving fishing trawler, were sunk in the waters around the British isles by German submarines in three days. Out of this total only five lives have been lost, according to all avail able reports.
 The biggest vessel of the list was the steamship Inkum, from New York for London, which was sent to the bottom forty-three miles southwest of Lizard head
 The steamship Penfield, a 794 ton vessel, owned by the Cuevillette Bros. and registered from the port of Brest, was sunk by a submarine about fifty miles off Ushant. The crew was pick ed up and taken to Brest.
 The Danish steamship Cyrus, with a cargo of coal from Burntisland, Scot. land, for Copenhagen, and the Wilson line steamship Soma, bound for Mont real from Middlesborough. with mis  CT vessels that have gone down from German torpedOes.
 Ten trawlers have been sunk. The list follows:
 The Ebenezer, sunk by shell fire; the Kathleen, the Evening Star, the Car. ters, the Sunnet Head, the Ena May the Strathbran. the George and Mary the Horace and the Economy. The Little Boy was permitted to escape after the crews of the latter two craft had been taken aboard.
 The crews of the EbeneZer and the Sunnet Head were landed at Berwick The men from three craft reached Kirkwall, and Norwich received the crews of two more vessels. So far as can be learned not life was lost from the ten ships sent to the bottom.
 A submarine stopped the Little Boy the Horace and the Economy and warned the crews of the Horace and the Economy to be.on board the Littt Boy in five minutes. After the trans fer had been made the trawlers were sunk by bombs placed on board by the crew of the submarine.

The Clarity of MacaulaY.

"Macaulay never wrote an obscure sentence in his life," said John Morley, ard this is partly due to his exact use of words. There is never any doubt about his meaning. Macaulay began the use of Latin words at an early age. When four and a half years old he was asked if he had got over the tOothache. to which question came this reply: "The agony is abated. ."-J. +.

KNEW WHERE II BELONGED
Information Not Just What Botanlst
Was Looking For, But the Boy
Meant Well.

The famous botanist was pacing
slowly along the country road. his
eyes, as usual, roaming from side to
side for new plants to study.
Suddenly an eager look spread
across his features, and he leaned
over the low fence inclosing a cot
tage garden. He had found plant he
did not know.
What could it be? I: only he had a
specimen CT 1t to study!
At that moment shock-headed lad
strolled along the road and stopped
to gaze open.mouthed at him.
Il say!" called the botanist urgent
ly. See that plant there-that pale
pink one in the corner? Do you know
it?"
"Uh-hu!" said the country boy
briefly.
What's its name? Do you know
what family it belongs to-"
The lad jerked a grubby thumb over
his shoulder toward the little cottage
as he spoke more briefly still.

AS the lady was rather given to
making great ado over trivial mishaps.
and as the Judge was much preoccu-
pied, he did not pay much heed. Soon
after, however, finding her in tears,
he made kindly inquiry as to their
cause.

FOWLS REQUIRE SOME SHADE
Easy Matter to Grow Something Along
Side Of House to Provide Pro-
" lection From Sun.

Fowls that are deprived of shade in
summer often fall victims to sunstroke
and diarrhea from overheating. Some
shade should be provided. The house
is always too hot for their comfort IL
It is their only defense against the
fierce rays of the summer sun. II is
an easy matter to grow something
against the west and south side to
provide extra protection.
A house that has vines or tall plants
growing against one end and partially
shading the roof will be several de-
grees cooler than one bare to the sun.
Boards collect and radiate a lot more
heat than green growing things. It
makes little difference what you use.
Castor beans grown under the protec-
tion of a Slated crate until too big
for the fowls to destroy will prove
good shade. Big branches broken
from trees will help on very hot days.
If you can do nothing better lay
some branches or stones on the roof
OF the house and spread old carpet
or horse blankets over them. 1t will
greatly reduce the heat inside the
house during the heat Of the day. Shut
out the sun and allow some opening
on the side away from the sun for
free circulation of air. The fowls
will seek their shelter during the hot
part Of the day and show their appre-
citation by greater vigor and health
when the trying period is over.
Many so-called cases of cholera in
hot weather are nothing more than in
digestion from the ravages of hot
weather during which they had in
adequate protection against the heat.

tance around it with the sulphur when
the hen is OF.
The night following dust the hen
herself by lantern light. Disturb her
just enough to make her bristle her
feathers and then dust sulphur well
down to their roots. This treatment
will not injure the hen in the least,
nor the chickens when they are
hatched.
The chickens should be busted once
or twice after they are hatched. One
cupful of sulphur will be enough for
both applications. Tobacco, snuff,
grease and carbolic powder, ETC., are
not equal to sulphur for killing lice.
The dust bath for laying hens should
have quarter of pound of sulphur
well mixed through the dust.
The brooder and the coops before
being used should be fumigated and
