Queer Country House.

Lord Lucas owns the most remark
able country house in England. Its
strangest feature Is a queer, three
storied tower of wood and glass, but
mostly glass, which rises from the
main buildings.
Each story of the tower is smaller
than the one beneath 1t, and each had
its own peculiar use in the lifetime of
Lord Lucas father, the brilliant es-
sayist, Auberon Herbert. The lowest
and largest story was fitted with
carpenters bench, at which he worked.
The second story was furnished with
only table and chair; and here he
used to read and study. On the top of
this story, before the third was added.
there used to be q comfortable revolv-
ing chair, in which Herbert would sit
for hours at time, turning it as he
wished to any point of the glorious
New Forest landscape.

Starting Traditions.

In ages which we call heroic, the
saint works miracles, the warrior per-
forms exploits beyond the strength of
natural man. In ages less visionary,
which are given to ease and enjoy
ment, the tendency is to bring the
great man down to the common level
and to discover or invent faults which
shall show that he is or was but
little man after all. The abb
surdity of a calumny may be as evil
dent as the absurdity of miracle, the
ground for belief may be no more than
a lightness OF mind and a less par
donabIe wish that it may be true. But
the idle tale floats in society, and by
and by is written down in books and
passes into the region of established
realities.-Froude.

PROSPERITY BUILT ON VICE
Portuguese City of Macao Has Long
Been Known as the Monte Carlo
of the Orient.

Macao is said to be the most pros
porous bit of Portuguese territory in
the world. 1t is the famous Monte
Carlo of the Orient" where gambling
and q considerable opium traffic have
their headquarters. Both these vices
are ones to which the Chinese are par
ticularly addicted, and Macao has be-
come a great resort for the Weather
Chinese natives.
1t lies on a sandy peninsula. half
way on the trip between Hongkong
and Canton. The Portuguese acquired
1t in the olden time when they were
the most daring explorers and traders
in the world. Their descendants live
there still, but they have mingled and
intermarried with the Chinese until
what amounts TO a new race has been
produced in the native-born Portuguese
colony in Macao.
Macao is a prosperous city, as most
capitals of the god of chance are wont
to be. Various gambling games are
played, but the favorite is fan-tan, over
which the Chinaman can develop an
apparently disproportionate amount OF
excitement. In fan-tan, number of
coins or counters are hidden under
bowl, and the players bet on how many
will be left when the coins have been
counted off in tours. Simplicity can go
no farther, but it is possible to lose
as much money over this primitive
form of gambling as over the most
complicated variety known to the
West.
Chinese are the greatest gamblers
In the world. They will bet on any
thing from the weather to the weight
of q horse, whether they can afford
to lose or not. A wealthy Chinese
merchant will win and lose fortunes
with an air of philosophic nonchal-
ance, while the poorest coolies will
drop n weeks pay in ten minutes with
out permitting the impassive gravity
of his cOuntenance to be married by
anything more than n panied frOwn.

"a bird in the hand is worth two in
the bush" does injustice to the song
that comes only from the bird I'M
caught-distorts the value of distance
and the virtues of anticipation and
pursuit, and serves as an excuse for
inexcusable acquisition. Similarly, ut
is never too late to mend" lures many
feet too far along the path of folly
and sin-for there can be no mending
when delay has allowed the tattered
garments to fall apart. Beware of the
habit of mind that leads you to put re-
lance in half-truth proverbs. The age
Of a proverb, or the frequency of its
usage, is no guarantee that 1t is sound
at the core.

First Naval Battle.

The first naval battle recorded in
the worlds history was that between
the Corinthians and the Corcyrans,
fought 2,572 years ago. Corcyra, the
island off the coast of Epirus, now
called Corfu, had been settled by Cor
inthians, and for centuries owed al
Iegiance to the mother city. In 664 b.
G. the Corcyrans declared their indie
pendence, and the Corinthians imme-
diately prepared a fleet to reclaim
their colony. The Corcyrans sent out
a squadron to meet their foes. After a
furious contest the Corcyrans emerged
as victors. From that time on sea
battles were frequent, and all of the
petty states of Greece built navies.
The enmitieS ,engendered by that first
sea struggles resulted over two GEN.
lures later in the Peleoponnesian war.

Coffee and sIeenIessness.

That coffee drunk in the evening
tends to cause sleeplessness is well
known. Doctor Sajous analyses the
many effects of caffeine on the nervous
and circulatory systems and shows
that its sleep-preventing effect is due
to dilation Of the blood vessels of the
brain, stimulation of the heart action,
increased blood pressure and prob
able tendency directly to impede the
flow of blood from the brain to the
skin and other peripheral structures,
which seems to play an important role
in inducing sleep. And the brain tends
to remain overcharged with blood even
after the effect of the coffee on the
blood pressure has tsubsided.

STOCK
MOST ECONOMICAL OF FEEDS
Better Use Of Cheap Roushaae OF
Farm 5y.Produets Should Be
Practice Of Stoekmen.


Qrom the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
Stockmen should make better use Of
cheap roughage or farm by-products,
such as cornstalks or straw in winter
Ing beef cows. Is the opinion of spe-
ciallsts Of the United States depart.
ment Of agriculture after making a
survey of nearly 500 stock farms in
the corn belt. The records which they
obtained show that there is no fixed
rule that should govern the quality or
The kind Of feeds used except that the
ration should be adequate and eco
nomical.
Whether the coarse feeds of the "a.
ton shall be composed mostly Of hay,
fodder, silage, or grain, will depend or
dlnarily on local and seasonal condi-
ticns.
In years when there is a serious
shortage of corn, farmers will find 1t
necessary greatly to reduce the guam
tity Of the corn that ordinarily is fed
Gs grain or fodder or silage. That this
can be done under many circumstances
Is evident from a study Of the rec
oids. They show that a ration which
does not contain corn fodder either as
grain or in fodder or silage can be fed
without any detrimcnt whatever to the
cows or their offspring. There were
149, of the farms studied feeding such
rations, the majority Of them in, Kan
s0s and Nebraska, and they produced
as good calves as the farms feeding
corn. The winter feed bill on tlese
farms was S13.10 per COW, as aga INST
an average of $16.G0 for those uSing
grain, fodder, or sllage, showing a sav.
Ing Of $3.50 per head dug to elimIna@
ton Of corn.
The use Of such grainless ration
which on these farms consisted soely
of hay and cheap roughage, is, Of
course, not always possible or pr&cti
cable. If this type Of ration is tG be
economical, there must be an ablnd
ance of cheap hay to combine with the
rough feeds: or, IL the bulk Of the ra-
ton consists Of cheap roughage, which,
unless there Is some winter pasture Is
largely composed Of carbohydrates,
there should be sufficient amount Of
leguminous hay, such as alfalfa or
clover, to supply the protein needs Of
the animal In localities where shere
Is a shortage of hay but where large
quantities OF cheap roughage, such as
corn slower. straw, or damaged hay,
Is available, this cheap roughage often
can be made to serve as the greater
part of the ration by supplementary it
with q small amount Of some concen-
trGte high In protein, such as cotton
seed meal. The farmers in that por-
lion of the corn belt lying west Of
the Missouri river, where alfalfa is
grown abundantly, nearly always can
plan an adequate ration without corn.
The fact that the 149 farms using
tbs cheaper ration were not feeding

Job Was AIIurlnq.

One of the well-known Park row
newspaper men was about to be COM

ter of a few days. He made his plans
to give up his work, sublet his apart
ment and, with bag containing a few
necessities, went to Washington, wear
ing an old suit. He planned to pur-
chase his uniform in Washington.
When he arrived there he was told he
would be physically examined that
afternoon. When examined ne was
found physically fit and was told he
could not be taken into the intelli-
gence service on account Of the ruls
that all able-bodied men had to be
drafted. Crestfallen, he returned to
New York in his old suit. The negro

ALCOHOL AND MARksMANsHIP.

A member Of the French army medi-
cal corps has recently made public the
results Of Investigations concerning
the effect Of alcohol on narksmansAip.
He chose the best shots from among
the nOn-commissioned officers and sol
diers Of bis regiment, says the organ
Of the American Medical association,
and had them FIRE series at 200 me
tiers. They were then given a desc Of
brandy, approximately 30 gm., after
which they fred . second series similar
to the first. These experiments were
repeated at different times and under
different conditions. always with iden-
teal results. II was found that the
efficiency Of the marksmen after the
absorption Of the alcohol had depreea-
ated 80 per cent in rapid firing and
30 per cent in slow firing.
