had been for many years in peaceful
occupation.
War clouds burst suddenly. Soon
the city Of Reims was awake, the
streets filled with people, all vending
their way towards the cavalry bar
racks to have n last glimpse of the de-
parting dragons.
Three hours after the bugle call the
regiment stood ready awaiting the
command of the colonel to mount. In
a long address the colonel reminded
the soldiers of the achievements of
their forefathers, hoping that they
would be brave to add another pen
nant to those already attached to their
standard, and with the shout of Long
live France! Long live the Repub-
lic!" they swung into the saddle and
left the barrack yard for an unknown
destination.

Skim Milk Most Valuable
When Used as Food.
From the United States Department OF

From the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
While skim milk Is useful for animal
feeding it will serve It's best use as
food for humans. BY substituting grain,
green feed, buttermilk and whey In ami
NAL feeding, much skim milk may be
left for human use as a beverage, in
cooking, condensing or for making cot
tage cheese. Only the surplus of this
valuable human food should be fed to
stock.
While skim milk is good for stock,
the fact remains tina Its highest eff
cheney cannot be had through turning
it into meat Skim milk is used most
economically in animal production
when fed to hogs, yet 1t takes 20
pounds when fed alone to produce one
pound of pork. The same quantity
will make three pounds of cottage
cheese. In addition. cottage cheese
contains IL times as much protein
and third as much energy as pork,
so that the skim milk In the cheese
form gives quite as much energy and
Az times as much protein as 1t would
if converted into ham or bacon.
Even at the highest prices recently
paid for hogs, skim milk fed to them
is worth not more than one cent a
pound. Yet one cent a pound or ap-
proximately one cent pint, Is very
cheap for any human food, and par.
J ticularly for a food so high In nutri
tive value as skim milk.

Beautiful lugano Smallest
of Italian Lakes and One
of the Most Picturesque

Lugano is the smallest though not
the least beautiful of the Italian lakes
as matter Of fact 1t is not entirely
in Italy, as the Swiss frontier Is
crossed at Chiasso, yet, perhaps on &C
count sof its Italian sounding name, II
Is usually classed with Como and Mag
giore, says the Christian Science Moni-
tor The lake is surrounded by wood
ed hills which rise directly out of the
clear water, and at all times of the
year it Is beautiful.
In early spring these tree-covered
slopes take on soft purplish bloom;
all the outlines become blurred and
velvety as the sap rises in every
branch and twig, and there is won
derfully peaceful impression given by
these soft outlines against serene
blue sky. All along the lake sides
are tiny villages, built on the steepest
possible slopes, the houses seeming to
stick to the hillside wherever a niche
can be followed out. There Is no road
directly around the lake, so the inhab-
itants prefer to go everywhere by wa
ter. Little steamers ply from the
town of Lugano to Porlezza, taking n
zigzag course In order to call at the
various villages on either side of the
lake.
OF all the villages, perhaps the most
beautiful is Morcote which lies east of
Lugano, with its dark cypress trees
stonding out on the hillside against the
pure sky, but for sheer picturesque eff
feet the village of Cambria must come
first
The houses appear to rise straight
out of the water, piled, as 1t were, one
on top of the other, quite haphazard.
Many Of them shine white in the bright
sunlight with hard blue-black shadows
where the projecting caves cover
them. The walls at the waters edge
are festooned with flowers and creep
ers, clinging wherever they can find a
foothold, While the water laps softly
against dim shadows of boats tied up
under dark archways.
Each little village forms a separate
picture, having its own characteristics,
while over all the mountain of San
Salvatore stands like a sentry on
guard.

Professor See, weakens the action OF

at the time of lunar eclipses. Thii

elaborate investigation showing that
the moons motion is irregular. and

CarIyIe's Long Clay Pipe.

Thomas Carlyle, whose memory will
remain as man who has given much
to history, enjoyed his long clay pipes.
They were made in Glasgow. These
pipes were made with long green
glazed tips for the mouthpiece, and
those who visited at his home say
that he smoked a new pipe every day
or perhaps oftener from the stock that
he kept In box. Usually the pipes
were in corner of the fireplace, with
in the fender, and ready for Carlyles
further service. Here he stored also
half pound tin canister of his to-
bacco, which was often replenished
from his larger supply. The box stood
usually on the table. though at times,
1t occupied place of honor on the
mantlepiece.

The cause of the fluctuation in the
