TRAINING FOR THE MUSCLES
Amusing New Stunt for Boys or Girls
Trick Must BE Done Without
Bending ANY of Joints.

This is an amusing new stunt for
boys or girls and one that provides
splendid training for the muscles. Lay
a chair prone on the floor with the
back up Have a friend at the back of
the chair to hold the back up, when
the performance begins. Hitch the
heels under the first round of the chair
next the floor, with back to back of
chair; stiffen the muscles, bending
gradually, and touch the chair with
the back of the head. This must be
accomplished without bending any of
the joints except those in the back
and without touching the chair with
the hands.

POPULAR PUZZLE IN LONDON
Favorlte Among Young Apprentices
in Sixteenth and Seventeenth Gen.
turies-Fiow It Is Solved.


It has been suggested that the grass
hopper puzzle was a great favorite
among the young apprentices of the
city of London in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. Readers will
have noticed the curious brass grass
hopper on the Royal exchange. This
long-loved creature escaped the fires
of 1866 and 1888. The grasshopper,
after his kind, was the crest of Sir
Thomas Gresham, merchant grocer,
who died in 1879, and from this cause
it has been used as a sign by grocers
in general Unfortunately for the
legend as to its origin, the puzzle was
only produced so late as the year 1900
On twelve or thirteen black disks are
placed numbered counters or grass
hoppers. The puzzle is to make to
6 change places with those numbered
to II, the vacant disk being left in
the same position as at present. Move
one at time in any order, either to
the adjoining vacant disk or by jump
ing over one grasshopper, like the
move in draughts. Nos. Z to II
can only move in the direction of
clock hand, and the others the
opposite way. Note also that and

erasshopper puzzle.

IL must be left next to the vacant
disk, and try to find the fewest pos
sible moves.
The fewest possible moves in which
this puzzle can be solved are 81. Here
is one way of doing it. OF course,
the numbers are those of the count
ers, and, as there can never be more
than one vacant disk, each play,
whether it be a single move or a leap,
explains itself: IL, 1, 2, u, IL, 10,
l, 2, 8, 4, 10, IL, 10, 8, s, /, 2, 3,
4, 5, 10, II, 10, 9. 5, Z, II. 6, /, 2, 8,
4, 5, 6, 1, II, 10, 9, 8, Z, u. 2, 8, 4, 5, 6,
1, 10, 9, s, Z, IL, 4, 5, 6. 1, s, Z, 10, g.,
/, II. Whatever may be the number
of grasshoppers going each way, the
square of this number, added to four
times that number, added to 2, will al
ways be the number of moves re-
quired. Thus in the above case,
So plus "a plus equals 62.

DATA ON BREEDING FOR SEX
Expert of Maine Experiment Station
Gives Result Of investigations
He Has Made.

For ages untold the subject OF the
control of sex has been discussed and
studied over, with very little progress
except to discover that many theories
do not work. At that, knowing what
not to expect is great deal. Tne
most promising theory now relates
to the influence on sex of the time OF
breeding. OF that Or. Raymond Pearl
of the Maine experiment station writes
in a private letter which Hoards
Dairyman quotes:
My own Investigations on the le'
lation of the time of service in the
heat period itself, that is whether
early or late, shows that it does nave
an effective influence on the control
of sex. We are collecting extensive
statistics on the matter by means Oh
cooperation with breeders all over
the country and the more data We
get, the more clear does it become
that in this matter, time of serves
related to the heat period is a sig
nificant factor"

their men as they deserve to be
treated; kindly humanely. Moreover,
they do it without loss of dignity.
Hence, the soldiers respect, honor and
even love their superiors
In the trenches and everywhere on
the firing line, where danger is great
est, the feeling of devoted comrade-
ship between officers and men is adj
mirable and it is safe to say that
every soldier is ready and willing to
lay down his life for his superior.
Stories of soldiers who risked their
lives to save those of their officers
are daily occurrence at the Italian
front.
The last soldier to be decorated
was certain Guido Vitelli who. on
seeing III the course of an engage
ment his lieutenant fall grievously
wounded. left the trenches accom-
panied by comrade and rushed to
the rescue. The spot where the Off
Ger lay was quite distance from the
trench and Vitelli was struck twice
in the hand and in the cheek, while
his comrade was slightly wounded in
the leg.
Nevertheless, the two wounded sol
diers succeeded in carrying their SUI
perior officer into the Italian lines.
At the hospital, where he is now re-
covering, Vitelli related his adven-
lures to the captain of his company,
adding that he was glad of the oppor-
tunity of proving the devotion he felt
for the gallant young lieutenant. Nat
urally. the captain has recommended
him for the medal

THE VAIN FROG.

One day bullfrog hoped on an old
log which lay, one end in the water,
at the side of brook. He felt very
important, for he was a very large
frog, and could make a very loud
noise at night He looked at himself
In the clear water and turned his head
from side to side admiringly. Il am a
handsome fellow he said Il am fat,
and my eyes are big and bulgy; my
coat is like green satin, and my vest
fits like piece of kid" And he be-
gan to puff up with pride.
All at once a dog came running
through the woods. and seeing the
frog, he barked and ran on the log,
but it was SO slippery he went back
to the bank. What noise you make"
croaked the frog; and you have
nothing to boast of, you are not as
handsome as am, and you cannot
walk across little log"
You need not boast SO much" said
the dog; "all you can do is to make a
noise and splash in the water, and you
look like green tomato ready to pop
open"
My coat is much handsomer than
yours" said the frog, and my voice
is considered one of the sweetest that
are heard at night
The dog opened his mouth wide and
laughed ooh, deari" he said. eff you
could hear yourself, Mr.. Frog, you
never would be so proud. / do not
claim to be handsome or to have e
good voice, but / am sure that in
both Guido you," and he made anoth-
er dash at the frog. But it was of no
use. The log was too slippery.

frog. Il am too big for you to bite.

size"
"You have handsome pair of hind
legs, said the dog. You have right
to be proud of those"
The frog gave hop to show them
better. yes" he replied, they would
look very well on any table, but / am
not anxious to part with them"
"And your vest does fit well,' said
the dog.

see you hop, you have cause to be
proud of your fine looks. 1t is a pity

would admire you"
The frog pulled up as he listened
and hoped nearer the bank, and the
dog, continued to tell him of his
charms. You have a finely shaped
head" he said; Il expect you are a
deep thinker"
The frog pulled up his chest. Yes
he croaked, II am a deep thinker

dog had been barking at him a few
minutes before, so he hoped closer
to him.

net and, seeing the nice fat frog, he
covered him with it and soon had him
