NO CHANCE FOR HIM.

The freshman sat, upon the Ii

dismal Renaissance. A stranger,
struck by this forlorn spectacle, ap-
preached and touched the youth up
on the shoulder. "My boy, why are
you in such sorry mood?"
The lad propped up his head
upon his hands. 'I've just read the
Book of Fame,'" he exclaimed
with an expressionless voice. "I've
read about Carnegie, Wright, Edi-
son, Lincoln-I've read about all
those self-made men. I had hoped
that some day my name would be
written in that book"
"My boy" quoth the stranger in

in that book didn't it mention .

USE MORE MILK, AIM.

Statistics show that, although milk
is fresher and cheaper in the corn-
try, less milk is drunk by farm boys
and girls than by city children. 1t
is said that this accounts for the fact
that the proportion of undernour-
ished children in the country is
larger than in the city.
] The dairy division of the United
States department of agriculture is
cooperating with the state agricul-
ltural colleges to induce city and
country children to drink more
milk. Several drink-more-milk
campaigns have ;saen held in the
last few years. The increase in milk
consumption after a campaign has
been from / to 33 per cent.

EAGLE DROVE AlRMAN DOWN
Bird Of Prey outmansuvered the Au-
man Filler and Finally Made
Him Land.

A Swiss aviator has recently been
in combat with another bird of pas
saga large and powerful eagle.
The bird evidently resented pretty
strongly the aeronaut's entry into
his domain, for he gave chase, and
annoyed him for some considera-
bic time. Eventually, the airman
was forced to descend, owing to the
birds persistency.
Before landing, however, he took
every possible means to rid himself
of his tormentor. He Topped the
loop, nose-dived, righted the ma
chine again, completed a series Of
circles, but all to no avail. The
eagle had him every time. This
incident occurred some 5000 feet
above st. Moritz, and created quite
stir.
That birds and insects take more
than a passing interest in the strides
man has made in the flying world
is described by French naturalist
and airman. During the war he
was in charge of captive balloon,
and says that the numbers of birds
and insects attracted to his aerial
craft were enormous. They not
only came to look, but to stay, and
he was thus able to. get many rare
specimens.

Chronicle Of 176o Tells How It Gained
= Footing Among Common
People" Of England.

Today when the scarcity and high
cost of sugar seems likely to inter-
fere with the jam-making carnival,
which usually reigns supreme in
many homes, during the summer
season, it is interesting to recall that
jam making only began in the eight
zenith century. In Galt's "Annals
of the Parish" in which the Rev.
Micah Balwhidder quantity chroni-
Giles the occurrences of his district
from 1850 downward, the following
entry occurs relative to an impor-
tant epoch in the parochial history !:
81 should not, in my notations,
forget to mark new luxury that
got in among the commonalty at
this time By the opening of new
roads and the traffic thereon with
carts and carriers, and by our young
men that were sailors going to the
Clyde and sailing to Jamaica and
the West Indies, heaps of sugar and
coffee-beans we're brought home,
while many, among the kailstocks
and cabbages in their yards, had
planted groset and berry bushes;
which two things happening togeth-
er, the fashion to make jam and jel-
ly, which hitherto had been only
known in the kitchens and confec-
tioneries Of the gentry, came to be
introduced into the clachan."
