hypnotizinq Animals.

Hypnotizing a hen is a trick known to
most country boys. 1t is an old expert
ment, first described by the Jesuit ia
Their, Athanasius Kircher, who laid a
hen on a table, held it firmly for a lit
tie while, and drew a chalk line in
front of its eyes, with the result that
it remained as if in catalepsy.
In India it is known that a cobra
caught by the neck and gently pressed
will soon become stiff and remain so
for a considerable time. A frog fas-
tened to a board and turned suddenly
upside down goes into a trance.
If you pick up a crab and wave 1t in
the air it becomes immobile, a female
bending her legs over her abdomen, a
male sticking them out straight. The
same is true of the fresh-water craw-
fish.
Among the insects "death-feigning"
is common, and is often a means of
saving the life of the insect.
The hypnotic condition is induced
in mar by suggestion of physical in
hibition, but in both cases s%ensatory
stimuli may assist. These stimuli may
be optic fixing the gaze on some OBJ
ject) or tactile tstroking the skim or
otherwise.

Archer's Advantages.

The eye cannot. of course, follow
the progress of a bullet, and the rifle
mar may miss his game by the meas
ure of one foot or five, yet never know
the amount of his error. But the fight
of the most swiftly sent arrow may be
easily followed, and a CLOSE" miss
gives the shooter a self congratulatory
thrill almost equaling the happiness
of a center hit. There is a gratitica-
ton in watching a shaft fash past
the head of a justly indignant, much
astonished squirrel. And there is real
excitement, too, in watching a steel
pointed arrow leap into the blue, there
narrowly failing to intercept that ro-
que of the woods, the heavily flying
crow. The archer's great advantage
rests in the comparative silence with
which his hunting may be carried on.
A shot means the soft twang of a bow
string and the low whisper Of an arrow
and these sounds seldom greatly
brighten game.-Outing.

ART IN HOUSE TERRAcING
Subject That Deserves Much Thought
as 1t Will Make or Mar Appear
anee Of Home.

Terraces, particularly house ter
races, which are all those upon small
grounds, belong to architecture, and
should therefore be kept closely in
connection with its kind. All house
terraces. those close about or parallel
to buildings, belong to the structure
adjacent and should be kept as close
up as possible. Terraces usually allow
for a liberal bed of plants next to the
buildings, then a path, a level apron
of equal or slightly greater width on
the outside of path, and then the ter
race, IL there be but one, drops down
into the field. II there be more than
one terrace each successive one as
they leave the building must be broad
er than the one above, and nus they
drop by exercising and more gener-
Gus extent to the field below. This
field does not mean a vast extent, but
what remains of the premises. The
mistake is often made, and it is a
serious one, of building the terrace
broader than the field, a reversal of
art that is inveighed against by every
authority who has written upon the
subject.

for a mere song. He purchased it.
He paid cash for his machinery out
fit and o%verbought as to raw mate
rial.
1t was with a great sense of com
fort that he finally opened the little
factory. giving employment to some
20 men. Expenses and wages were
low. 1t was true that Acton was 20
miles from a railroad. 1t did not even
boast an automobile. The own was
i~solated-shut in to itself-but once
a week a slow numbering side-wheel
steamer came up from the city with
passengers and freight and took back
the product of the plant, packed in
neat boxes. not many of them, for the
points brought a high price. were man
ufactured under an exclusive patent
and sold readily.
Sidney had settled down to a hum
drum routine, glad to be apart from
the jar and hustle of the city. He
figured out a growing business based
upon light overhead expense. His
help was not overworked; he was
modest in his style OF living. He
brought work and comfort to many a
poor workman. His ambition was
satisfied.
And now, suddenly, terrifically
alarming, came the advent of Biggs.
Many a time Sidney had realized that
he vas straining his credit, but the
orders ahead were sure future in
come. The plant and equipment rep
resented solid values. He had not
been business mar enough to compre-
bend that the ironclad rules of bust
ness demanded quick assets that could
be swiftly realized on in case OF
exigency.

For Better Housing Of Aliens.

Prizes aggregating $1,000 have been
offered by the National A~mericaniza-
ton committee in a contest for plans
for the housing Of immigrants In In
dustrial towns. Two groups OF prizes
are offered. The first covers plans for
the housing Of workmen in industrial
communities not exceeding q popula-
ton of $4,000. Entries may include
designs for single family houses, com
bined family and lodging houses which
will permit separation of the family
from the dodgers or boarding houses
or community dwellings for numbers
of single men or of single women.
The first prize in this group is 81, 900,
the second $500 and the third, fourth
and fifth 500 each. Competitors are
to assume hat the community is a
new one produced by a new industry
most of the workmen to be needed
permanently and the rest, as construc.
ton gangs, from two to five years only.
Welfare of the tenant and low cost
are the two important considerations
urged by the committee. Wages Of
the workmen are assumed to be from
So a day to $50 a week.
The second group Of prizes is Of
fered for a satisfactory substitute for
the derailed freight and cattle cars
now used to house construction gangs
on railways. In this group the first
prize is $500 and the second prize $10O.

ExtInqulshlnq Burning Liquids.

Many people cannot understand why
it is permissible TO use water for ex-
tinguishtng some burning liquids, and
not for others. For instance, water is
effective for extinguishing burning al
cohol and acetone, but quite the re-
verse in the case of gasoline or oil.
The difference lies in the fact that wa
ter mixes readily. with the first two
liquids, while gasoline and oil do not
mix with water, but float upon it's
surface, and are thus scattered over
a large area. However, the applica-
ton of a very large quantity OF water
to a small quantity of burning oil may
aid in ~extinguishing the fire by its
cooling influence.

DENOTES RIGHT CIVIC SPIRIT
Minneapolis Does Well in Honorine
the Memory of Pu~blic-spirited citi-
zen Who Deserved Well.

Over in Minneapolis the other day
they unveiled q monument to the mem
DRY of a man named Rowley. We
didn't hear anything about 1t over this
way, but in Minneapolis 1t was quite
an event. This man Rowley, you see,
was not a national character. He was
Just q plain citizen of Minneapolis. He
was the man who gave that city Its
electric railway system. He was one
of the builders of that thriving com
munity. He was one Of the men with
the vision and the foresight, who
helped lay the foundation stones OF
the metropolis of Minnesota. The peo-
pie of Minneapolis are showing their
appreciation for his worth and his ster-I
ling qualities. There are not very
many cities in the country where mon
uments are unveiled to the memory Of
street railway magnates. Usually they
are damned while they live and for
gotten when they die. Other com
munities might profit by the exam
pie of Minneapolis. There such men
as Rowley and others 'builded a city
for no other particular reason than
that they wanted a city there. And,
as a city, it is not yet so years old, but
it has a population of 5000 and is
growing every day. Minneapolis has
the right civic spirit and never dem
onstrated it in a better way than by
erecting a monument to the memory
of one of its own good citizens.-Hu-
ron Times-Herald.

He had told her kindly that there
was little bookkeeping to do, he could
run a typewriter himself and had
planned to start out on an economical
basis. Airline had told him that she
required a very small salary, as her
father had left her an investment in
the city which brought her a cash
return each six months. She would
grow up with the business; " she could
surely be of some service to him, and
Sidney hired her.
Since then he had been glad OF II.
Airline proved a treasure. She took an
interest in every detail of the bust
ness. She seemed happiest when the
work was hardest and most pressing.
The man from whom Sidney had
purchased the plant was wealthy. Sid
ney wondered If he could not get him
TO help him out. He went late that
afternoon to his home. to find that
he had gone to visit a farm he owned
at some distance and would not re-
turn until the following evening.
Was It fate, or did a sense of re-
gard for Airline, the longing Of a lone
ly, troubled man influence Sidney to
lessen his pace as he neared the
house where Airline lived? She hap
pened to be at the gate. He was glad
to be invited into a coy parlor. Ar
line was cheerful, anxious to enter
tain him. A little elf OF a fellow-her
cousin-prattled about Arline's pet
carrier pigeon.
She sent it away today he con-
tided to Sidney. and Airline flushed
holly and had to explain that it was
through this medium that she regu.
larly correspondent with a very dear
girl friend in the distant city.
Sidney met with a severe disappoint-
ment the next evening when he called
on the man from whom he hoped to
secure a loan. The latter had no
ready funds. Sidney longed to stop
for another pleasant evening at the
home of Airline, but it was late as he
reached the house. He passed rest
less hours alone at home and conse-
quently oversight himself the next
morning.
What is this?" he voluntarily ex-
claimed, as entering the office the
first thing that attracted his eye wal
a signed receipt in full from the Biggs
firm.
MIR. Biggs left it," explained Ar.
line, and flushed and paled, and began
to tremble.

most pleadingly. "Oh, Mr.. Walters
don't be cross about it, please! ]
overheard you talking about quick as
sets. l sent a quick message to my
friend in the city and got my invest
ment changed into a certified check
and the carrier dove brought it safe
ly here, and l paid Mr.. Biggs," and
Airline broke down there under the
intense strain of the moment. The
astonished Sidney stared at her, spell
bound.
Airline had saved the day, Airline
had won the heart of a true a And
the outcome of the episode was life''

How a Builder Financed oueratlon..

A reader of the Home Builders
page writes as follows in explaining
how he financed his home building:
First l caught my building site
and drew plans for house and barn to
fit it. Next l made application for a
loan to a cooperative bank, showed
the land and the plan to the investment
committee and subscribed for the
requisite number of shares. The bank
agreed to let me have the money in in

Il then went to my bank of deposit
and borrowed money al l needed it, ON
short-time notes, to pay cash as l went

for cash, and called on the co-opera-
tive bank for money when l wanted to
