Science says that If he can get drink:

for about thirty days; without food. At
the end Of that time the machinery of
the body will not be ruined and can be
entirely strengthened back to its old
standard by careful; feeding. About
one.anarter of QUIZ: body weight is fat,
and: IT IS mostly this; fat which is alb
sorbed as food during; the period of
starvation. We can absorb and burn
up our muscles until; 60 per CEN of
their weight has gone: We can do the
same with from 80 togo per cent of
our liver and digestive organs and 20

lose 10 per cent, and our: brains and

Novel Methods of Warfate

In ancient history there are two well
authenticated. instances of wild. ami;
mails being used by. attacking armies.
The first is related by, Appian when
describing ~theFslege Of Themiseyra, in
Rontus, by Lucullus: in his war against
Mithridates. Turrets were brought ;up.
mounds were built and huge mines
were made by the Romans. The peo.
Pile Of Themiseyra dug open these
mines; from Above and through the
holes, cast down: upon the workmen
bears: and other wild: animals, togeth-
err With swarms of bees. The second
Instance occurref in England when
the Danes and Norwegians were at.
lacking: Chester, held by the Saxons
and some Gallo auxiliaries. After
adopting stoning and Boiling water de-
lenses in vain against the besiegers
the Saxons threw down: all the bee

Fable Of Two Maiden..

Once there were two maidens who
sought to catch a nice young man, and
1t was a false start in the eyes of the
undiscerning, for the one was exceed
ingly fair to look upon and dressed
stylishly, while the other was'plain of
~countenance. i.
The pretty girl smiled sweetly on the
nice young man and talked to him till
she dazzled him with her beauty and
charmed him with her wit. The plain
M gazed wonderfngIy at him and
made him talk to her Of divers things,
While she listened, entranced at his
wisdom and learning.
He took the pretty girl cut riding, to
the theater and bought her chocolates
and flowers, and all the kIsowfng ones
said she had struck a winner, when
n DAY he married the plain girl and
took her on the continent for their
honeymoon.
The pretty gin had made linn very
much pleased with her, but the plain
girl had gone one better and made him
very much more pleased with himself.

Sorrows Of an Author.

Many Of the sorrows of the autho,
in this living present are quite as &C.
tive as $50 years ago when William
Oldys lived and died in London. The
blue pencil' was as remorseless then,
though under some name now forgot
ten. Oldys tells how he wrote some
valuable article Of nearly two sheets
and how the bookseller, "for sordid
gain and to save a little expense In
print paper, got MI. John Campbell to
cross 1t and cramp 1t, and play the
devil with it, till he squeezed it into
less compass than a sheet" The book
borrower Of that time was the same
neglectful person that many of US
know today, and Oldys sighs over
books he has lent which have never
been returned. He was q keen anti
quarry, ~delighting especially in musty
manuscripts, and, half in temper and
half In good humor, tells of "Old Coun.
selor Fame, who gave me- q parcel of
manuscript and promised me others.
which he never gave me nor anything
else besides a barrel Of OYSTERS"

was Desleged by the Spaniards. The
Dutch took one Of their biggest ships,
cut her down and erected ON the deck

sides, within which they mounted eight
of the heaviest guns the factories of

Driver to Blame When Horse Gets Sore


Driver to Blame When Horse Gets Sore
Neck
We know how annoying it is to be
obliged to lay horse off in the midst of
springs work. on account of sore
shoulders or sore neck.
Do not forget that it is your own fault.
Some men always make sore shoulders.
some never do. A good man is often
seen in front of his horses. adjusting
their collars and names. Don't let a
horse work an hour in an i'll fitting collar.
The greatest care is needed in the
spring when work first starts, for the
horse will shrink and the collar will soon
be too large. A collar that is too large
will injure the shoulders more than one
that is too tight.
Imagine man trying to play base
ball before his hands have become
toughened. A horse works with his
shoulders. Keep them well. Look at
them several times a day. Keep the
shoulders and the collar clean. Ifa
shoulder gets sore, it is the drivers
fault; hold him responsible. Geo. H.

January Coldest Month on Record

The weather for the month of Janu-
ary. 1916, has been under the control of
q low barometer, resulting in a number
of small storms which kept the ground
covered with snow most Of the month.
This mantle of snow, aided dy our high
radiation due to altitude. resulted in the
month being much colder than normal.
The precipitation for the month was
3-4 inches of snow. with a moisture
content of 0.s4 inches. or very nearly
twice the average amount Of our 81
years for January. which is 0. As inches.
This is the wettest January since 1891.
when the precipitation amounted to
2 90 inches.
The mean temperature of the month
was $50 degrees. The average for our
30-years record is 26.l degree. while the
coolest previous January is that record
ed in 1892 Of 2l.1 degrees. Therefore,
January, 1916, was 81 degrees colder
than normal and 81 degrees colder than
the lowest previous record. The max
imum temperature of the month was
6l.0 degrees on the 4th and the mini
mum was 24.2 degrees on the 10Th,
which is the lowest the thermometer
has gone since January. 1913, when
29.5 degrees was recorded.
The snowfall is good for late water
next summer as it drifts and accumu.
lates in inaccessible places where it
melts slowly. Though the temperature
of the month has been quite low, news
notes from over the entire country indi-
cate that we have escaped several Of
the worst storms that have passed
over the West.-R. E. Trimble, Colora-
