WHEN TO CUT SUDAN GRASS

Sudan grass should be cut for hay
as soon as the plants are fully headed.

Under fair weather conditions II can
be treated just like prairie hay or
timothy cut in the morning ana
hauled into the barn or stacked that /

hay dries out depends entirely upon
the weather and the thickness OF the
stalks at time OF cutting.
Sudan grass In a properly drilled
row should not make stalk thicker

ISOLATED ISLANDS.

Lonely Tristan da Cunha Gets Outside
 News Once In Two Years.
 Though scientific progress has made it possible to d. q double journey be tween England and America in d fort night. there remain many islands with which it takes years to communicate.
 Off the Scottish coast are the groups of islands known as the Hebrides. Ork- neys and Shetlands. Of these the most isolated island is St. Kilda. some three miles long and two miles broad. The inhabitants lead lives of great loneli ness. for it takes month to get to the next island. and the sea often makes any communication with St Kilda impossible for months.
 The group of eight Phoenix islands in the Pacific has a total population of only 15S. while another little bit of the British empire is Tanning island This is landing place for the Pacific submarine cable. and usually there are about 100 people in the place.
 The lonelieSt of all parts of British territory is the island of Tristan da Cunha. in the south Atlantic. which is also the smallest inhabited island in the empire. It is BOO miles from land. has a population of seventy four Scottish Americans. and the inhabit ants get news of the outer world usually once every two years.-London Stray Stories.

SCRAPS AND A DINNER.
A French Chefs Feat With Food That
 Had Been Discarded.

A French Chefs Feat With Food That Had Been Discarded. A year or two ago l was chef in country gentleman's household in Eng land. The morning after my arrival looked around the kitchen garden. and in the dust bin that stood in the back yard I saw a mixture of food that could have been turned into a first class dinner.
 In about four quarts of milk that had turned sour were swimming stale half loaves. drumsticks of fowls. old ham bones. cold boiled potatoes. trim mings of dough made for piecrusts. cracked eggs. some old codfish and some spoiled macaroni.
 Next day l found second consign ment. very similar. about to be carried away and thrown out. l stopped this lot. sorted 1t out and. with the help of little stock. half dozen eggs and a hare that had been shot on the es tate. served a seven course dinner for family of ten that night. and the master of the household called me up and complimented me before the whole family on the best dinner they had had for a year.
 Afterward his wife sent for me and told me that. though pleased with the dinner. she feared I had been too ex- travagant and said that her rule was not to allow more than shillings per
 head in housekeeping. It was se-
 were shock to her to hear l had fed the family on the sins of the cook that
 had left the day before. the cost being not over ninepence per head.-From an Interview With a French Chef in Ma. tional Food Magazine.

Shaved Forehecds and Ear Sticks.

The Wakikuyu people of East Africa are known as the Kikuyu and Akikuyu and inhabit the Kikuyu hills, one of the most beautiful. fertile and econo- mically important parts of the British East Africa protectorate. not far from Nairobi. These people have rich farms, great variety of food to eat and are very finely built race. The good looks of the women. however, are often spoil ed by their curious custom of shaving their foreheads in order to make room for the headstraps to which they at tach their loads. These people have many curious customs. They are very frightened of the spirits of the dead
 for instance, and when any one of them falls i'll and is at all likely to die the poor sufferer is at once put out and left to the mercy of the hyenas, en- tirely deserted by the rest of the tribe. The unmarried women wear sticks through their ears as n sort of badge. while the married ones sport punches of bangles.-Wide World Magazine.

The Market In Cauls.

We believe that there Is still some market for cauls among sailors, who retain their belief in the efficacy of the membranes as protection against shipwreck and drowning. Notices of "Cauls For Sale Within" were to be seen recently in windows in the vicin- tty of the docks of both London and Liverpool. but 1t is some time since we have noticed an advertisement of a caul for sale in the daily press. It may be remarked that the sale of cauls. go far from being a very ancient custom. is comparatively modern innovation The witchcraft of the middle ages de clared against the caul retaining any virtue whatever if parted with by gift or sale to any but a member of the childs kindred.-London Lancet

THE RED CROSS.

its Real Origin Dates to Napoieon's
 Italian Campaign of 1859. The Red Cross owes its real origin to the great and terrible campaign of 1859. when Napoleon made it his boast that he would free Italy from the Alps to the Adriatic." At the great battle of Magenta 10000 Austrians and some 5000 French soldiers were left dead and dying on the fields.
 A Swiss gentleman. named M. Henri Dunant, made a pilgrimage to that battlefield and was an involuntary eyewitness of the awful carnage of the battle of Solferino. battle which last ed some sixteen hours and left some 30.OOO dead and wounded Henri Du nant realized that the medical service of what was probably the greatest army in the world was absolutely in adequate to cope with the casualties, some action to rectify the matter.
 The result was that he wrote small book for private circulation. en titled "Un Souvenir de Solferino," and this, with his private appeal. resulted in Napoleon III. commanding Dunant to his presence, where. with the great Marshal MacMahon. they seriously talked matters over.
 The result of this was a conference of the powers, called together by the Swiss federal government, at which Henri Dunant placed his proposals. Out of this Geneva conference of 1884 resulted the Geneva convention. under which all medical supplies and person nel in war time are protected.

A Domestic Disturbance,

The trouble began with a tea fight. The milk was sour, the cake cut up, and the sugar fell out with the tongs. The spoons clashed, and the table groaned The fringes on the doilies snarled, and the crackers snapped. The easy chairs were soon up in arms. and even the clocks did not agree. Things were no better in the kitchen. The pitchers were all set by the ears and stuck out their lips, while the teapot and kettle poked their noses into every thing The range was redhot, which made the saucepan look black and final ly boil over. The bells started jangling. all the pickles and preserves in the cupboard were jared. and there were any number of scraps in the refrig- orator and meat safe. Naturally when the mistress of the house reached the scene of disorder the cook was put out. Judge.

presden,s Model rheat.r staoe.

Dresden seems to have theatrically solved the problem of long waits, for the Konigliches Schauspielhaus brings the technical side of the theater up to the highest point that has ever been reached. The three principal features are simplicity. rapidity of working and the liberal allowance for space, air and light. Instead of having the conven- tional stage where one scene must be taken down before the next can be set or of having a revolving stage the Schauspielhaus is provided with a stage which is lowered hydraulically for the purpose of shifting the scenery. While one scene is being used, the sec- ond is all set up below on the left hand side. The stage is then lowered, and the first scene is rolled off to the right by electric motors, the new scene at the same time being rolled on. Then the stage is again raised, and the play goes on with an interruption of but thirty seconds.-Exchange.

PERSIAN GULF PEARLS.
The Divers Are Practically Slaves of the Boat Masters.

 Of this group of islands only those of Bahrein and Maharak are of any size. Their importance. however. is out of all proportion to their extent, fuI they are the great center of the Persian gulf pearl fisheries. which are the worlds chief source of supply for pearls The sheik of Bahrein is said to nave a customs revenue amount ing to about S4OO.OO0 per year. which makes him the richest ruler in the Persian guilt The pearl fisheries un- der his control may in good year bring to his islands as much as $2.- 6OO.OOO
 1t is difficult for newcomers to ob- tain the services of good divers owing to the system in vogue, which prac- tically makes this class of men slaves to the masters of the pearling boats The mems earnings in the majority of cases are insufficient to keep them all the year round. and consequently they take advances from their masters year after year to such an extent that they can never repay their debt. When a diver elects to engage himself to an other boat the owner of the latter has to pay up the debt due to the former master should he engage him.-Argo-

Heiqht of the Panama Canal.

The middle section of the Panama canal, thirty-four miles long, has wa ter level of eighty-fve feet higher than the two end sections, which are sea levels. Vessels entering the canal from the ocean on either side are lifted to the middle section, height of eighty five feet, by three sets of locks each of which raises the vessel fraction over twenty eight feet, making total of eighty-five feet. These locks are constructed side by side like d double track railway, so that one ship may be going up while the other is going down. Only one ship can be in a lock at the same time. but as the locks are con- structed in pairs, side by side. two ships going in opposite directions. one going up the incline and the other going down, may pass each other with in hailing distance. Vessels are lowed through the locks by electric machin- ery.-Philadelphia Press.

A Prehistoric Lake,

One of the most interesting remnant. of a prehistoric lake in the United
 States is that now known as Estancis valley. which lies south of Santa Fe and east of Albuque rque. N. NJ. From examination of the deposits in this sec ton geologists are of the opinion that this lake existed at the same time as Lake Bonneville. In Utah. and other ancient lakes of the arid west during the cold, humid glacial period. The theory of the existence of an ancient lake in the valley Is based on the pres ence of shore features and lake sedi ments. Sea cliffs. terraces. beaches. beach ridges. spits and bars are found on all sides of the lake fat at attitudes between 6.10O and 6.2OO feet above sea level.-Argonaut

The road to eminence and power from an obscure condition ought not to be made too easy nor thing too much of course. If rare merit be the rarest of all things it ought to pass through some sort of probation The temple of honor ought to be seated on an eminence.

The science of selling offers a great field for study for the department of commerce and for the many business schools which are springing up in ouI colleges. Commerce is not mere money getting: it is a science, as banking and law and medicine are sciences.
