JOKE ON SCHOOL VISITOR
Fortunately Hamilton Mabie Was Well
Able to Appreciate Unconscious
Humor of the Children.

The late Hamilton w. Mabie, the
well-known American essaylst, was
one of those genial men who enjoyed
a joke on themselves. Illustrating this
phase Of Mr.. Mable's character, it Is
told that when he was a student Mr..
Mabie made an address in which he
told this story:
He had visited school in Philadel-
phia in which there was u daily fire
drill. The teacher regularly asked the
students, children, what would you
do if fire were to break out In this
buildingW The children all repeated
in chorus, 1--WE would rise In our
places, step into the aisle, and march
quietly out Of the building" On the
morning when Mr.. Mabie visited the
school, while he was sitting quietly on
the platform, the teacher stepped be-
fore the pupils and said, children,
what would you say if were to tell
you that Mr. Mabie is to speak to you
this morning?" The children prompt
ly replied in chorus, 1--WE would rise
in our places, step into the aisle, and
march quietly out of the building"

Early Buying Is
Not Best Policy

| some kind Even II the world is re-,
duced to whole garments OF sewn fig.
leaves there Is no reason why any one
woman should wish herself out of the
picture. Let her go along with the
momentum of the hour and buy and
wear garments Of fig leaves.
The public is beginning to see the
wisdom Of buying a small amount nj
the moment IL Is needed. II should be
preached In every possible form OF
propaganda that this Is the wise way
10 live during war time. Rest assured
that If the public buys up all the stock

OF course there are women who al.
ways demand quality. They prefer to
have a badly cut gown, made in a past
fashion, II they are sure that every
thread Is silk or wool, as the case may
be. But the majority of women are
not inclined toward accepting that sys-
TEN Of dress.
Therefore let us start out in new
measure Of reform. as soon as this
month Is over, and face September
with no ilci or rushing into shops and
buying everything that is offered be-
cause il is labeled "Ncw." Maybe il is,
and maybe IL isn't. But feeling of
panic among buyers that now is the
only chance to get enough clothes IN

In the very thing that the government
desires most to sec avoided-reckless
spending Of money. So buy shrewdly,
and not for boarding.
If there is 10 be economy in clothes,
let It begin this week. II is at this
time, between the seasons, that Il wom-
an can take thought of her wardrobe
and twist and turn il according to pre-
vailing fashion, in way that will serve
her until styles are more settled. Then,

Housing the Flock.

Equipment for raising sheen on
farms need not be expensive. In mild
ATTITUDES little housing is needed. and
the main need is for fencing and pas
lures of sufficient number and size to
allow frequent changing of flOcks to
fresh ground to insure health. Where
winters are longer and more severe,
buildings and sheds are necessary to
furnish protection from storms though
no special provisions are needed for
warmth. Dryness, good ventilation
and freedom from drafts are the first
requisites of buildings for sheep. Con
venience in feeding and shepherding
must also be held in mind in locating
and planning such buildings or sheds.
Small flocks can be cared for in sec
tiOns of barns having stabling or feed
storage for other stock, but with
flock of, say. 100 ewes separate build
ings are desirable. The interior ar
rangement of these buildings should
be such as to require minimum Of
labor and the least possible moving Of
the ewes in doing the feeding and
caring for them during the lambing
season. A building of this type can
also be utilized for fattening pur-
chased lambs to he disposed of before
lambing begins in the regular farm
flock. A good supply of feed racks,
grain troughs, etc, can be provided at
small expense and will save labor and
prevent waste of feed.

as breeders, because of the ends Of
the teats having been clipped off at
shearing.
Size Of FlCek.
Persons wholly inexperienced with
sheep will do well to limit the size Of
the flock at the start. A beginner can
acquire experience quite rapidly with
8 or 10 ewes. 1t is very doubtful, how
ever, whether anyone should make a
start with sheep unless the arrange
ment Of the farm and the plan Of its
operation allow the keeping Of as many
as 30 ewes and In most cases GO or
more will be handled better and more
economically than very small flock.
The economical disadvantage of II
very small flock lies in the fact that
the hours of labor are practically the
same for a dozen or 90 ewes as for the
larger flock. The fencing to allow de.
siNble change Of pastures or to give
protection against dogs is about the
same in either case so that the over.
head charges per eve are much small.
er in the case Of the larger flock. Fur
thermOre, the small flock on a farm
having large numbers of other animals
Is unlikely TO receive the study and at.
tention really needed or that would be
given to one Of the chief sources of
the farm income.

Fall Feeding for Sheen.

Stubhle and stalk fields may well
form the principal means of susie
nance for the breeding flock in the fall
if they are used before the rains in
jure their feeding value. Fence strips
in plowed fields may also give good
grazing for a few days. Glover and
grass pastures may well be left until
the stubble and stalk fields have been
used. For regions where the winters
are open, heavy stand Of well-cured
bluegrass will help very much in
carrying the flock through the winter
in good condition. Green rye pastures
in the late fall give considerable sue
culence and furnish exercise for the
flock. In the South velvet beans will
be found of great help in carrying
the flock into January.

"Land of Lanterns"

Among the Chinese there has exist
ed for ages passion for fireworks and
lanterns. In every city, at every port
and on every river and canal, as soon
as night comes on, the lanterns make
their appearance. They are hung out
at the door of every dwelling; they
swing as pendants to the angles of the
pagoda; they form the fiery crown of
every shop front; they cluster round
the houses Of the rich and light up
the novels Of the poor; they are borne
with the carriage of the traveller, and
they swing from the yards and masts
of his vessel.

on railways is George Stephenson's
