TOOK THE SCENE LITERALLY
But Not Many Movie Spectators Arc as Unsophisticated as Was
 Uncle Ted Prouty.

A prominent movie director, said at luncheon in Los Angeles:
 Movie audiences are very sophisti- cated nowadays. They insist on ac- curacy. If you are inaccurate in the smallest detail they write you hun dreds of jeering letters. It wasn't so in the past.
 'The movie audiences of the past were as naive as Uncle Ted Prouty. Uncle Ted came to town one evening and went to the theater with his wife. In the first act a woman was shot, and when the curtain went down a good many men left their seats and went out.
 Uncle Ted fidgeted a while and then he took his hat and started out in his turn
 "'Where be you goin'Y his wife asked.
 "Look here, Hannah,' said Uncle Ted, I've stood this thing jest as long as I can, and now I'm goin' out like the rest to see how that pore woman is gettin' along that was shot. The unfort'nit wretch may be dead by this time, and if she is this ain't no place for us.'"

Hans Christian Andersen.

Hans Christian Andersen, styled the children's poet, was a celebrated Dan- ish writer, born at Odense in 1895 and died at Copenhagen after brief ill., ness, August 4, 1875. His last years were unharnessed by criticism sGd at tended by all the honor and lSTe that should accompany genius combined with old age. As the chis& of poor, shiftless parents, he had little instruc- tion and few associates, but his dra- matic instinct was developed by Fon- taine and the Arabian Nights, and the visit of a theatrical company to his native city led him to seek his dra- matic fortune in Copenhagen, where for four years he worked diligently but produced nothing of note. h 1885 he essayed the "Fairy Tales" by which he was to receive world wide reeogni- ton. The classic "Tinderbox" and Big Claus and Little Claus" are also of this year A short time afterTards "Only Fiddler" gave him European reputation.

3 I'VE STOCK
BEST AGE FOR WEAVING PIGS
Good Plan to Let Porkers Nurse Until Twelve or Fourteen Weeks of
 Age-Keep Them Growing.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Too many farmers follow the prac- tice of weaning pigs when too young, many being weaned at six and seven weeks of age. A good brood SOW prop erly fed has a good flow of milk when the pigs are of this age. There is no better feed for growing pigs than their mothers milk, consequently 1t should be used to the greatest extent pos sible. When the pigs are Of suckling age the SOW should be on full feed. Unless there is some extraordinary reason for earlier weaning the pigs should not be weaned under the age of ten weeks, and it is better to let them nurse until they are twelve or fourteen, weeks old.
 Often serious results follow weaning at too early an age. An entire change of feed following weaning may create serious trouble. If, however, pigs have access to corn, shorts, middlings or tankage, or fish meal in a self-feeder placed in the open where they can eat at pleasure without being disturbed by olHeI HOSS, lney Cau Oe WedHeu at lne age of twelve or fourteen weeks, with very little change in their feed, by al- lowing them to continue on the self feeder.
 To obtain the best results pigs should gain continuously until they are ready for market. The best results will not be obtained unless pigs have access all the time possible to good forage crops, alfalfa and red clover preferred. If these feeds cannot be procured rye, oats, barley, cOwpeas, rape or any other grain or grasses that will pro- duce good forage in the locality should be sown. The pigs should be watched closely to see that they are on their feed. If they are not the feed should

Greatest Single Crop That Can Be Grown and Pays Handsomely

CPrepared by the United States Depart

 Every farmer, whether or not he raises hogs, should have some alfalfa if he can possibly get it. It is the greatest single crop that can be grown and pays handsomely where it Is grown. As a forage crop for hogs it is unexcelled.

DRAFT OF RARE POTENCY
But Traveller Who InduIged in Kava Tells Us Nothing About the
 "Morning After"

"Menike," he said to me, you know that to drink kava you must be of empty stomach. After eating, kava will make you sick. If you do not eat as soon as you have drunk it, you will not enjoy it. Take it now, and then eat quickly"
 He dipped a shell in the tanos, tossed few drops over his shoulder to propi- tiate the god Of the kava here drink ing and placed the shell in my hands. Ugh! The liquor tasted like earth and water, swedish for a moment and then acid and pungent. It was hard to get down, but all the men took theirs at a gulp, and when Xvi gave me an- other shellful I patterned by them. A ringing came in my ears as when one puts a seashell to them and hears the drowsy murmur of the tides. Xvi laughed, and vaguely I heard his query:
 "Veavea? Is 1t hot?"
 "E, mahanahana. am very warm" I struggled to reply. My voice sound- ed as that of another. I leaned harder against the wall and closed my eyes.
 A peace passing the understanding of the kava-ignorant was upon me. Life was a slumbering calm; not dull inertia, but a separated activity, as if the spirit roamed in a garden of beau ty, and the body, and suffering, all feel ing past, resigned itself to quietude. I heard faintly the chants of the men, as they began improving the after feasting entertainment. I was per fectly conscious of being lifted by sev- eral women to within the house, and of being laid upon mats that were as soft to the body as the waters of a quiet sea. It was as if angels bore me on a cloud. All toll, all effort was over; I should never return to care or duty.

SELECT PIGS FOR BREEDING
Animals Should Not Be Pushed, but Kept Growing Nicely to Develop
 Bone and Muscle.

Pigs selected for breeding purposes should be kept growing nicely, but they must not be pushed, for. the whole obs iect of their feeding is to make them stretch out and develop bone and muscle in place of fat. They should be continued on growing ration. A
 little skim milk and shorts make a good ration. A small amount of ground oats and cracked corn will help develop and insure normal growth. But corn should be used sparingly as 1t is too fattening for pigs. Remember that these pigs should also have an abun- dance of green feeds.

Beautiful Marine oraanIsms.

A beautiful marine organism which floats in tropical seas is not a single creature, but a colony of many indi- viduals, connected with each other like Siamese twins, and of several differ ent kinds. The largest and most bril- liantly colored is inflated with gas and floats on the water surface. All the other members of the colony hang from its under side. Some are small and trumpet-shaped and do the feeding for the entire community. Others are fin- gerlike and are "feelers." Still others resemble punches of grapes. These are egg layers. Another kind are like long streamers and extend down into the water to act as ''drag anchors" They are also armed with "sting cells" to slay young fishes, which they after ward draw up to the hungry mouths above.

The destruction by fire of Quintard
Memorial hall, the military barracks

The campaign will not end, however, ac-
cording to Chairman Edmund c. Armes,
until every Episcopalian in the Birming-
ham district has been approached and
has been given a chance to contribute
The loss of Quintard hall was a serious
blow to the university, according to in
formation received here from head
quarters at Chattanooga. The building
represented an expenditure of $l25, 600 and
was the gift of J. P. Morgan as a me-
mortal to Bishop Quintard. The fire has
made it necessary that the military aca-
DENY at Sewanee be closed entirely I'M
til January. There were 80 cadets in
the academy and all have been fur

Restoration of the military barracks
will necessitate further heavy expen-
ditures, and campaign committees in all

port Sewanee have been urged to renew
their appeal to Episcopalians to support
their only southern college.
