Picture Lore.

To paste new paper on picture back ing. cut the paper the proper size, float 1t in water till 1t is quite wet, ap- ply the paste to the frame and, wip. Ing off actual drops from the paper. press it in place. As the paper dries 1t shrinks, stretching smooth.
 If you want to hang a small picture from an invisible wire brad and find difficulty in locating a beam in which to make it fast, run your eye along the mopboard till you see where that Is nailed. Hang the picture in a line with that. Small pictures hung on wire nails with taut wire won't show the wire nor skew on their nails. if two nails are used to pass the wire over instead of one.
 To prevent ugly dust lines on the pa per behind pictures drive a small brass-headed tack in each lower corner of the frame to hold 1t out from the wall so air can circulate behind 1t.

sTEER-FEEDING EXPERIMENT
cottonseed Meal and Velvet 5eans Used With and Without Addi
 tion of SheIIed Corn.

In a steer-feeding experiment con ducted last year on the government farm at Beltsville, Md, four lots of two-year-old steers were fed. The pur- pose was to compare cottonseed meal and soaked velvet beans when used with and without the addition of shelled corn.
 The addition of corn to a ration composed of corn silage, cottonseed meal and wheat straw did not pay. The addition of corn to the ration of velvet beans and corn silage was profitable.
 The lot receiving corn silage and soaked velvet beans with small quan- tfty of cottonseed meal as an appe- tiger produced the most economical gains and showed the greatest profit, even though the daily gains and the selling price of the cattle were lower than those of any of the other lots.

WEIGHT MATTER OF MOMENT These Two 6rIdegrooms Could Hardly Have Wished Their Loved Ones
 to Be Less Plump.

In the romance of Boston history is to be found story which tells of the dowry Capt. John Hull, master of the mint in the early days of Massa. ehusetts, gave his daughter Hannah when she was married. The story runs that her father asked her, after the ceremony, to stand on one side of scales while he placed bags of Pine Tree shillings on the other, until the scales balanced. The coins then went to the daughter as dowry Hannah Hull became the wife of Judge Samuel Sewall. afterwards chief justice of the province and head of one of the most noted families of New England.
 There is a tradition that Joseph Richardson, an eminent Philadelphia merchant, went still further in the following century in estimating the worth of his daughter Sarah when she was to become a bride. Nicholas Waln won the hand of Richardson's daughter few years before the Rev olution, whereupon Richardson said that he would not only say that Sarah was worth her weight in gold." but would actually bestow the precious metal upon her to that equivalent. h. stead of placing silver coins on scales, as in the case of Captain Hull, Rich ardson rated on higher scale of val ue, using gold instead.

The other, an American, a veteran of the regular army who has seen much serv- ice in the army and out of 1t, has given a Boxer flag to the Golden Gate Memorial museum at San Francisco Both loved the open, the stir of arms and the savOr of strange places. The Boxer flag brings up what today is al- most ancient history; the siege of the legations, the coming of the occidental troops and the perils and sufferings of the men and women in that siege, have furnished novelists and writers of stories with much "stuff." The South sea and its vast stretches have had the same lure for the adventurous, and now in their respective resting places these relics and trophies are there to show what two strong men of other lands found and kept. When we say that the Boxer flag was with its owner through St. Mihiel, the Mouse and the Argonne combats, and at Ypres. we have let an Odyssey de- scribe Itself.

Here,s How to po It.

When cork slides down inside q bottle it is very difficult to get 1t out unless one has the necessary tools, and they are not always available. A good way to extract it is to grease the neck of the bottle with vaseline. then hold the bottle under cold water. When the bottle is as cold as possible, spear the cork with a hatpin, or even shake 1t until 1t blocks the neck of the bottle and sets straight with the neck. Then gradually heat the bottle or pour hot water over it and the ex- banding air will generally force the cork out with slight pop.

cIose to PerpetuaI MotIon.

The nearest approach 70 perpetual motion was a clock constructed in 1774 by James Cox, jeweler at Shoe lane, London. This clock kept the scientific world guessing for years. The energy that made it run was de- rived from the changes in atmospheric pressure-a barometer was the sole motive power. Ferguson, the scien- list, saw this clock; said it unques- tionably would run until its parts wore out. The last heard of it, it. had been sent as a gift to the Chinese emperor, from whom 1t later was stolen.

 Pasture for Hogs.

Farmers can reduce the cost of pork production next year by providing suitable pasture for then hogs. says w. H. Peters of the animal husbandry division, University farm. Most pas ture grasses are rich in protein. The call for high grain rations Is therefore less urgent a matter to be taken into consideration in these days of falling prices for hogs -and, ,pigs- Alfalfa and hrome grass are best for growing pigs. hut no matter how good Q pasture is some grain must be fed If the hogs are to thrive and make profitable gains.

On the coastal plains of the South, unless the soils are much affected by drought. continue the experts, carpet grass sup plemented with lespedeza makes ex- cellent pasture.

The Elnaer Nalps History.

The rapidity of the growth of the nails is indicative of the health. The growth of the nails on the right hand Is in most people more rapid than of those on the left hand. Another curi- ous point is that the rate of growth of the nail depends directly on the length of the finger; thus the nails on the two middle fingers of men grow more rap idly than those on the first and third fingers respectively, and these in turn are more speedy in the growth than
