Scarcely a week passes that one does
not read in the New England papers
of one or more small children being Sc
verely sealded, often resulting in death,
by falling into pals or tubs of boiling
water left standing on the floor If
such receptacle must be left unguard-
ed it would seem but ordinary caution
to see that small children were not in
the room.

ity of eases by too much alcoholic slim
ulant. May the secretary keep up his

Balloons and Pigeons Were
Used to Carry Mail During
Siege of Paris in 1901

Although airplanes We're unknown in
1870, balloons played an important
part in the siege of Paris, relates q
writer in New York Evening World
So closely were the Prussian lines
drawn about the city that communion
ton with the outside world was cut
off. The military authorities called
upon the aeronaut Durouf to make q
balloon flight from Paris. Carrying
$50 pounds of letters, he made the at
tempt, and after fight Of three hours
landed at Evreaux, far beyond the
zone of PrusSian control. A regular
mail service was then established, and
though many flights ended in disaster,
II continued until the surrender of the
city. 1t was in this way that Gambret-
ia, the statesman, made his escape
from Paris to Tours where he recruit
ed d new army, which offered des-
perate but vain resistance to the in
vaderS.
The balloon service was maintained
throughout the investment, from Sep
TENDER %. 1870, to January %, 1871
Letters to be sent par bablonmote"
were written on very thin paper, and
among the most interesting relics of
the siege are the letter journals, In
vented by LIE Petit Journal. The news
Of the besieged city was printed in
very small type on one side of thin
letter sheet and the other side of the
sheet was left blank for personal COM
munications. About q score Of Paris
papers issued these novel sheets, and
practically all letters were written on
them.
Getting letters into the beleaguered
city presented a more difficult problem,
but this was partially solved by send
ing carrier pigeons out with the bal
looms. Letters and dispatches were
photographed and SO reduced that
single pigeon homing its way to Paris
often carried thousands of dispatches
in quill attached to its tail. One
pigeon carried 10 Paris dispatches rep
resenting 100000 francs In postage.

GULL THE FLOCK

At no time has it been more impor-
tant to Gull the flock carefully than
now. A good hen is returning to its
owner a good profit; poor one, cor
responding greater loss. With the gen.
eral purpose breeds the pullet year is
the most profitable. In fact, it will
take two pounds more feed to produce
q pound Of eggs with hens than it will
with pullets. No farmer can afford to
keep any hen of the general purpose
type after she has passed through the
second laying season. All females
which have passed the first year Of
laying should be marketed unless they
are to be kept for next years breed
ers. If the farmer cannot tell the age
Of his hens, he can avoid future guess
work by putting a ring on the legs OF
the pullets.
Some features that will help the
farmer distinguish hens that have
been good egg producers have been
noted by the University Of Missouri
College of Agriculture. In October
the poor layers will have yellow
shanks, a small dull comb, pin bones
close together, and win have CON-
pleted molting. The good layer will
be in the mott, will have pale or al
most pink shanks, will be ragged in
appearance and, If laying, the pin
bones will be well spread apart. The
good layer, even though in the molt,
win start laying just as soon as the
early molter. The good layer will
have a soft velvety skin while that Of
the poor layer will be thick and
coarse.
1t will pay to Gull the flock II the
culling Is done right.

Texas, has consented to take charge

report to Mr. Hoover, and it is said
that he will be in cmmand of the

The formation of the distribution
system co-incident with the begin
ring Of the harvest season in Europe
IS further proof that American food
contribution is expected to be es-
sential for a long time to come.
That reason is undoubtedly behind
the resolve to confine the food
trades to reasonable margins of prof
it, particularly upon the commodi-
ties to be saved. Otherwise, the
law of supply and demand and the
opportunities it would create would
result IN these articles exacting a
price which would be prohibitive to
the plain people at home and abroad

One Of Several Theories as
To Origin of Wedding Ring

Among several theories as to the
origin of the wedding ring is one
which is to the effect that before the
time Of minis and coinage the gold
money in Egypt was made in the form
Of a ring, usually worn on the finger
as a convenient method Of carrying
and safe-keeping. The men and wom-
en-, therefore, had all their gold or
wealth made into' rings, and for the
majority of people these rings were
no larger than the plain gold bands of
today. Thus, when the groom. placed
the ring on the BRIDES finger, he meant
exactly what the modern service
makes him say-he did exactly endow
his bride with all his worldly goods.
