sunfsowers Fall as slIaoe.

After all, the common wild sunfiow- CT of Kansas is just useless weed, and attempts by scientists to make it anything else so far have failed.
 Last fall ten tons of wild sunfow- CTS were put into silo between lay CTS of corn silage by the dairy depart ment of the Kansas State Agricultural college. A feeding test was arranged early In the winter. Five COWS were fed wild sunflower silage, alfalfa hay and a grain mixture consisting of four parts corn chop, two parts bran and one part oil meal. Previous to the be- ginning of tte feeding test the cows had received corn silage in addition to the hay and grain.
 When changed to the sunflower sil- age they ate sparingly of it and failed to become accustomed to 1t. The COWS decreased in mSlk production and lost body weight. The average loss of body weight was 66 pounds per head for the A days the test was conduct ed. Each had decreased 3.4 pounds in daily production of milk by the end of tie period.
 They were then changed to cane sil- age and in 24 days gained 9 pounds per head and all but one increased in milk production.

Orders by Piueon-Pos

An entirely practical use of hom!ng pigeons is reported from England. The inventor of the system is butchers son, who employs his birds regularly to carry orders from outlying districts presumably whcT" there are no '"'"- phones-to his fathers shop. The plan works exccLcnt,y.
 When the boy goes to collect orders he takes six of his fastest birds in a trap with him. After he has gone a mile or two and collected a dozen or ders he liberates a pigeon with the slips inclosed in a little metal case attached. to the birds foot. Before five minutes have elapsed these or ders are in the shop.
 At the various stages of his round, which usually takes three hours, the other birds with more orders are set free, and by the time the shop Is reached all the orders received by this pigeon post have been dispatched.

To Paint Sing Sing Chimney.

The best climber in Sing Sing, who once made a sensational escape from the prison, has been selected by War den Lawes to climb the 75-foot chim- ney of the power house to re-paint it. Emil Totterman. who WIS sailor be- fore sent to prison for murder is a former steeplejack also. Since his im- prisonment he has not used his climb ing powers much except when he made his escape. He was re-captured few months later. He is one of the few prisoners serving a natural life" sen tence. Totterman is to go up the square chimney and fasten a rigging from its top. He will paint the chim- ney yellow to conform to the new coat of paint just placed on the exterior of the various prison buildings.

HONOR THEIR PATROEl SAINT
Pay Due Homage to Sara of the Egyptians.

From all over southern Europe hun dreds of caravans are converging to- ward q little hamlet on the shores of Brittany, where the old-world gipsies are gathering to pay homage to their patron saint, Sara, of the Egyptians, who, they believe, was the servant of the Virgin Mary.
 The word has gone out for the gath ering of the gipsy clans at Saint Sara's shrine in the Breton village of Ploumanec. Already their encamp- ment, in the shape of a huge, five pointed star, contains 5000 gipsies from France, Spain, Italy and Roums- nia, the land of their origin.
 The gipsy legend concerning "Saint" Sara has no foundation anywhere in the Scriptures. The origin of the strange story, which conflicts at every point with the New Testament, is yelled in mystery. The gipsies of Eu- rope, however, believe the story of Sara with implicit faith.
 Sara of the Egyptians, their legend says, was the devoted servant of the Madonna. After the resurrection she followed her mistress, in an exodus from Palestine unchronicled anywhere outside the gipsy legend, but was un- able to overtake her.
 When Mary reached the shores of Palestine and took ship, Sara, who was magician, turned Ter scarf into a raft and followed her mistress over the sea. But she never overlook the Madonna and the raft, so runs the tale, was finally washed ashore on the coast of Brittany, in France, where Sara died.
 Because of her wanderings and her magic powers, Sara was adopted as the patron saint of the gipsies, who built her a shrine at Ploumanec wdch contains her wooden efigy and a rel iquary said to hold a splinter of her thigh bone. Saint Sara" has never been sanctified at Rome and she is ignofed by all other Christians. But the gipsies still hold a yearly gather ing In her honor whenever war las not closed the international boundaries

dDD CONTESTS, OLD AND NEW
English Lark-Snping contest,- Turtles in Exciting Races

From the dawn of time man has de- lighted in contests, whether between individuals who match their strength and skill, or between animals.
 Some of these contests are decided ly quaint, or, for instance, the cock growing matches of Belgium. where specially bred and trained fowls are matched to see which will crow the greatest number of times witisin cer- tain time limit.
 Tfe lark-slnging contests of Eng land are far more musical, these con- tests being promoted and conducted by an association having a good member ship. The birds are kept for some time fin a dark room, and then placed before Q mirror in the light. Imagin- ing his own reflection to be a rival. the bird at once bursts into song, a careful record being made of the length of the song.
 There used to be in Hamburg a fa- nous collection of wild animals which included a number of giant tortoises, each weighing several hundred pounds. Children would mount upon the backs of these strange steeds, and, holding a lettuce leaf on the end of a stick just beyond the reach of the tortoise, coax them into m amusing race to- ward a fixed goal, s
 Much more exciting are the turtle races which may be witnessed in some of the South American countries. Tur- tie fishers select number of the great sea turtles, and, attired in bath ing costumes, mount their backs, grasping the forepart of the shells with both hands. The turtles are then released and at once make for the sea. Ordinarily the turtle would plunge with his rider to the bottom of the sea, but tlcis the jockey would prevent by throwing his weight on the back part of the shell and at the same time pulling the forward part up with his hands, which keeps the animals head above the surface. By pulling the stell to. the right or left, the rider is able to guide his mount, and a circle is made about boat anchored or shore. and so back to the starting point. These turtles cover a course of eight or nine miles in an astonishing short time.
 Tn Siam Is found particularly war, like fish, and Ash fighting is almost a national sport in that country. Wien a contest is to be staged, two of the fish are placed in a large glass bottle, and these natural gladiators do the rest.

~sEz -a---e- His Wish.


 Ted does not like to go to Sunday school, but his father makes him at- tend regularly. And usually his at tention to the lesson is very poor as a result His teachc., is one of the vari- ety noted for long talks, and this does not add to the interest for Ted. The lesson was a missionary one. The teacher ended her talk with "Now, we must all. send all the money we can to Africa to convert those heather. The way they are now they actually eat their Sunday school teachers"
 The goody-goody boy spoke up. 'I wish had a lot of money so I could send 1t to the heathen," he longed.
 The teacher looked expectantly at the others. They also should feel as zealcus. but if they did none of them expressed 1t. She decided to encour- age them. She looked smilingly at Ted. And what do you wish, little boy" she asked.
 It was now past closing time and Ted knew he would miss meeting the other boys to go to the towpath. Saw agely he made answer: "I just wish l was heather. n."-Indianapolis News.

Infinite Variety at Geneva.


 Those who had the rare pleasure of looking in on plenary session of the international woman's conference at Geneva were, in few instances, un- convinced that out of such a varie- gated group unity of action and opin- ion could be possible writes Alice La Maziere in Figaro. There were dele gates from all parts of the world blonde and heavy Scandinavians, TO- bust and energetic Americans, frail and brunette Spaniards, Italians and Greeks, expressionless and saffron colored Japanese and Hindus In over embroidered gowns. And there were Frenchwomen despite the fact that though France has marched at the head of so many movements of eman- cipation, 1t will be q long while be- fore she eufranchises her daughters. And we must not forget the delegate. from Iceland who journeyed for 30 days to be with us and came dressed in festival costume.
 But Lady Astor, our good colleague from England, was the charm and grace of the conference. What will come of it all? Notwithstanding the opposition the women are meeting in certain countries-Spain, Italy, Swift zerland, Turkey, France-the day is not far distant when we will act as a body in moral political, educational and domestic questions. And our voice shall be heard when the specter of war threatens to arise.

The War Horse.

Mud-snattered, high power motor cars, careering along military roads, replaced foam-fecked chargers in the work of carrying generals and their staffs in the World war when it came to the actual business of a campaign. No panting charger carried a We'll ington from a town 70 miles away-a motorcar did the work in 20 minutes without exciting comment. But the horse was not entirely robbed of his glorious place fin the war. Motor cars might do the work better in act ual campaigns, but when it came to the pomp and panoply the horse was not entirely robbed of his glory. An army headed by fat general cud- dled in the deep upholstery of a mere machine would not stir the imagina- tion. He must sit on prancing, arch-necked steed and return tho cheers with sharp salutes while ham ding his mettlesome mount. So 1t was that the high officers of the allies had horses for ceremonial occasions

Ways to Clean Books.

Speaking of books, most family n- brarfes are disfgured by one or two once-loveIy volumes in impractical bindings of pale silk or white leather, long since dimmed by grime. Art gum
