Evolution of the Table.

The beginning Of the nineteenth CEN

,,''hundred-legged" dining table, and the

the most comfortable of tables; and
with this the modern table has arrived
.Of the strangely uncomfortable, clum-
sy types evolved during the Victorian
period, the least said the soonest for

flowers. the haircloth furniture, and

Where coconuts Grow.

Coconuts are one of the largest
money-making crops of the Philippine
islands. While they will grow in al
most any province, there are localities
that are especially known for their
great nut production. There was until
recently no system for planting these
trees, as plantations were usually sold
after the trees were two or three years
old. The object was to get as many
trees on a given area as was possible
to grow. These plantations were then
sold for so much a tree. When it was
seen that the trees would not bear the
quality of fruit they should, more
pains were taken in the planting and
some definite planting scheme adhered
to. This has greatly increased the size
of the nut and the quality Of the meat,

is MOST VEN0M0Us SNAKE
iEehis carinata of India, Found in
Nearly Every Part Of Peninsula,
is Death Itself.

The most venOmOuS of snakes ia
held to be the Echis carinata of India
1t is about Is inches long and of a gray
color. The creature is death itself
and carries in it's head the secret of
destroying life with the concentrated
agony of all the pOisOns.
This snake is tolerably common in
India, being found in nearly every mart
of the peninsula.
fortunately, however, for man, it is
not, like the cobra, a Ouse-freuuenting
snake, for its aggressive habits would
make it indefinitely more fatal to life
than its dreaded relative.
This king of the asps does not turn
to escape from man as the cobra will.
Or flash into cOncealment like the ko-
riat, but keeps its path against its hu-
man assailant, and pitting its 1S
inches of length against it's enemy's
bulk, challenges and provokes con-
flict.
A stroke with a whip will cut it in
two, or clOd of earth disable it: but
such is its malignity that it will in
Hite attack by every device at it's COM
mand, stalking its own life on the mere
chance of its adversary coming within
the little circle of its power. At most,
the radius of this circle is II inches
Within it, at any event, lies certain
death, and, on the bare hope of hand
or foot trespassing within its reach
the Echis throws its body into a fig
ure-of-eight coil. Then it attracts at
tentiOn by rubbing it's loops together
which, from the rOughness of the
scales, make a rustling, kissing sound

GIVE HIRED MAN A CHANCE
Treat Him as a Human Being and the
Result Will Be Profitable, De-
clares Writer.

Give the hired mans family chance
to go to places-tO go to town once a
week, to attend church, to take part
In the neighbOrhOOd sOcials and meet
ings. 1t will mean planning and fore
sight, and in some cases a little sacri-
fee on the part of the farmers family,
but it is worth the cost, says a writer
in Farm and Fireside.
"a good many farmers hate to make
improvements in the tenant house and
the result is that it often gets terribly
uninviting and even uncomfortable be-
fore repairs and improvements are
made. We try to paint and paper our
tenant house often enough to keep it
looking fresh and neat, and we consult
the taste of the hired mans wife when
we do it. 1t pays in the added care
she gives to her housekeeping. We
see that the windows are well screened
and that the walks are kept in condi-
ton.
"There are a good many things that
1 like to do in partnership with the
hired mans wife. Canning is one OF
them. Canning is a good deal more
fun if two people work at it than if
Just one is doing it. have a good can
ming outfit, and we really get lot of
pleasure out of our days work be-

| ject. Since we have a power wash

When rlmid Becomes Eerocious.

The telephone was undoubtedly in
vented in order to place small, timid
men on equality with their more ag-
gressive fellows. 1t is the great lew
eler. Many a meek, crushed individ-
ual, incapable Of asserting himself at
close quarters, gives, when talking into
a receiver, so close an imitation of a
roaring lion of the jungle that experts
are deceived. No man by taking
thought can add cubits to his stature,
but he can do it in a couple of minutes
by talking in the telephone. The
smallest member of the Boganny
troupe of acrobats feels as tall as
Jess Willard after he has hurled a
few home truths into the receiver and
hung up in time to foil the scOrching
come-back.-TelephOne Topics.

Import Mosquitoes for Birds.

The delicate vocal organs of song
birds respond magically to special care
bestowed upon the diet. For this rea-
son, says Popular Science Monthly,
birds that are cultivated in captivity
are fed specially prepared foods de-
signed to furnish maximum nOurish-
ment with minimum labor Of the di-
gestive organs.
A food which has been found espe-
cially valuable to bird breeders has for
its principal ingredients japanese mos
quitoes and ants eggs. 1t is prepared
by an expert on the care and feeding
of birds. The reason the insects are
imported from Japan is that the Japa'
nese have a method of catching them
in large quantities which as yet Amer
leans have not discovered.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

A FRENCH SEAPORT, July 7.-The American troops today entered on the final steps of the mobilization that shall prepare them to leave within few days for their permanent training camp somewhere behind the firing line The unloading ot supplies is almost finished and rolling stock is being concentrated here preparatory to the departure of the troops The days have been used profitably for double purpose.
 The more important one was to put the ma jority of the soldiers through a vigorous grind of eight full hours each day French officers who had seen service at the front took part in these exercises in order to give the benefit of their experience to the American soldiers The drills included a daily plunge in the sea, this phase of the sanitation prob. em being made easy by the proximity of the camp to the ocean.
 The other advantage taken of the time spent here was to employ smaller groups of more seasoned troops to put the final touches on the camp so that it will be in first class shape. The camp in the last few days has been ex- banded enormously, until today it ex- tends TOT miles ana can accOn1IlOudte large number of men. Water has been piped from the town and the sys- tenn is equipped with every modern l device.
 The drill ground is not only ideal for l the purpose but has the advantage of 1 being at a distance so that the men i get a daily hike of about five miles.
 For the men arriving at this and
 similar mobilization bases the Amer | ican system of living in tents or wood
 en shacks will be followed but when they arrive at a permanent camp they
 will be billeted among the toWnspeople | and live in houses.
 None if any of the soldiers know just where they are to be sent, but all are
 enthusiastic over the prospect of get l ting nearer the scene of action. Their spirits are fine and their health | is of the best with the exception of a
 few cases of humps. The men have swamped the officers of their compan- l ies with a deluge of letters that must | pass through a censorship.

lot to miss the spectacle at whatever

not to miss the spectacle at whatever cost.
 The fate of the humble dwellers in workmen's houses, was different. They had no chance for their lives. The sight, now familiar to Londoners, of dist1Acted, Aobbing mothers rushing about the ruins of tenements, fearing to find, and some times finding, the mangled bodies of their children, was the most moving incident of the Ger man victory. A thorough investiga : tion of the results of the battle by staff correspondents of the Associated Press showed that no military, muni- tions or supply establishments were touched.
 Apparently none was sought. since the Germans undoubtedly well know their locations.
 Five minutes after the explosion ceased the streets of the district at tackled, were jammed with masses of humanity. Fire engines ambulances patrol wagons, motors with nurses and doctors seemed to spring from the earth Almost immediately waves of sightseers from the west end swept down and seemed to come in droves throughout the day.
 Anger and determination seemed tC i be the dominating sentiments of the i people. One certain result of the rait will be an increased demand for re
 prisai on German cities. Several mem 1 bers of Parliament have already an nounced their purpose to raise th' 1 question as soon as the house of com
 mons meets.
 The sentiment recently voiced mos strongly by the archbishop of Canter l bury and seconded by perhaps the ma 1 jority of the substantial leaders o
 public opinion, that the British shoul not descend to the level of the Ger
 mans is not popular with the masses
 and the suggestion that the slaughte
 of English civilians would cease l each visitation was quickly followed by
