Kindness to Animals Pays.

There are four important places
from which purebred dairy cattle
come: The isles Of Jersey and Guern,
sey In the English channel, the Ayi
country In Scotland, and the Friesian
country in Holland. 1t is churac-
teristic of the people In all the eight
regions from which purct red cattle
cone that they are always kind to
one another and to all animals.
Kindness makes better beef, and more
cream.

Reason Why So Many FIocks Are Un-
profitable Is Because of Pres
ence Of NonIayers.

Lack of proper culling thus far has
proved to be, in the majority of
cases, the principal reason why a poul-
try flock is not profitable, Forty per
cent of the hens in the average farm
flock today are nonproductive and
should be sold or eaten. 1t costs about
81 year, taking the country over, to
feed each hen. If she does not pro-
duce more than that amount Of eggs
she is Improbable.

Marbles Ancient Pastlme.

Marbles is undoubtedly one of the
very Oldest of games. The children
of ancient Rome played at marbles as
did the children of Egypt, long before
the days of Rome. In Rome, such Is
the general assumption, 1t was played
with nuts, chosen for their roundnesn,
and the game was so common and so
dearly loved that the phrase ito give
up the nuts" passed into proverb
meaning to put away childish things.

LOSE TIME IN USE OF ROMAN
NUMERALS

Moved by the apparent loss of time
and increase of errors caused by the tradi-
tional use of Roman numerals in desig-
mating volumes in photographic refer
ences, an investigator submitted the mat
ter to. simple scientific test. Choosing
ten well-educated persons, he determined
for each the time required for writing and
for reading the Roman and the Arabic
numerals from to 100, and also the rela-
tive number of errors committed. His
conclusion is that it takes three and one
third times as long to write the Roman
numerals as the Arabic, and that the
chance of error is twenty-one times as
great. An illustration is the number SS,
which in Roman style is LXXXVIIT. In
the International Catalogue of Scientific
Literature the volume numbers are printed
in heavy-faced Arabic type.-Ex.

HOW LIGHTNING KILLS

Examination of numerous cases of death
by lightning have failed to reveal any
direct effect of the passage of an electric
current through the human body. The
evidence indicates that death was caused
entirely by shock. The result is psyche
logical rather than physical the shock in
ducing heart failure or other organic dis
turbances.
Sometimes strokes have been fatal to
mother although the child in her arms
was unharmed. Persons under the in
Auence of drug or intoxicated seem to
escape. This seems to indicate that the
psychological element is an important con-
sideration.-Ex.

FAMOUS SAPPHIRES

Z Fine sapphries are more valuable than
diamonds of equal weight and quality,
only rubies being more precious. But
ruby crystals Tin the rough) are rarely
more than half an inch long, whereas
those of sapphire occasionally reach three
inches. Most priced are the "velvet blue"
sapphire and those of "cornhower" tint.
One of the most famous gems of this
variety is the wooden spoon sapphire"
which gets its name from the circumstance
that it was picked up by Ceylonese dealers
in wooden spoons, according to an ex-
change. A while ago it was in the Hope
collection. 1t is violet by day but red by
artificial light.-Ex.

THE PIONEERS

A broken wagon wheel that rots away
beside the river,
A sunken grave that dimples on the
bluff above the trail;
The larks call, the wind sweeps; the
prairie grasses quiver
And sing wistful rowing song of hoof
and wheel and sail.
Pioneers, pioneers, you trailed it on to
glory,
Across the circling deserts to the noun
tains blue and dim.
New England was night camp; Old
England was a story.
The new home, the true home lay out
beyond the rim.
You fretted at the old hearth, the kettle
and the cricket
The fathers little acres, the wood lot
and the pond.
Ay, better storm and famine and the ar
row from the thicket,
Along the trail to wider lands that
glimmered out beyond.
Pioneers, pioneers, the quicksands where
you wallowed,
The rocky hills and thirsty plains
they hardly won your heed.
You snatched the thorny chance, broke
the trail that others followed
For sheer joy, for dear joy of marching
in the lead
Your wagon track is laid with steel; your
tired dust is sleeping;
Your spirit stalks the valleys where a
restive nation teens.
Your soul has never left them in their
sowing and their reaping;
The children of the outward trail, their
eyes are full of dreams,
Pioneers, pioneers, your children will not
reckon
The dangers on the dusky ways no man
has ever gone.
They look beyond the sunset where the
better countries beckon,
With the old faith, with bold faith to
find wider dawn.

QUEER METHOD OF DEFENSE

The swell fishes of tropic coast waters
have the power of suddenly initiating the
body with water or air until they assume
an approximately globular form several
times the normal diameter, which must be
disconcerting to any enemy about to seize
one. The porcupine fish, in addition to
doing this, has the body everywhere COW
cred with long, sharp spines which pro-
ject in every direction like the quills of a
hedgehog The trunk fishes, instead of
being protected in this way, have the
body encased in bony shell, like turtle.
In the East Indies there are rectangular
species, but ours are three -eornered,
beechnut shaped. They go by various
names-cuckold, shellfsh, and so forth,
the cowfsh being a species with two horn
like spines projecting from its forehead.
They are excellent eating, cooked in the
shell like lobster. The back muscles of
the swell fishes are sometimes eaten, but
make a risky delicacy, as there are we'll
authenticated instances of severe poison
ing from eating these fishes. The poison
seems to be localized in the viscera and to
permeate the rest of the fish after death.

AS A MAN THINKETH

Whatsoever things are lovely"
Whatsoever things are true"
whatsoever things are honest"
All these blessings are for you!
Things of "good report" included,
And with all things lust" and pure
For there is both "praise" and Virtue"
Which will make these blessings sure!
Now the way to have these virtues,
Is by thinking thoughts Alright,
For by entertaining good ones,
You have put the bad to flight.

THE INDIAN DANCER

Over his feet the fringes fell,
The fox-fur fringes, white as noon.
1t seemed his feet were musical,
They never stayed in the slow tune
That ran and rippled and changed its bars
And chimed forever in falling notes,
AS when the summer sings in stars
Of music born in bobolink-throats.
All his wild strength was given to this.
Scarce-plumed, the years young grasses
bent.
The warm air followed with a kiss
Along the pathway that he went
Giving no light, the round moon stood
Behind the birches on the hill.
The summer silence of the wood
Was gold cup for love to fill.
Red lily buds and blackening grapes
And mandrakes gemmed with ivory
bloom
The forest hid thousand shapes
Like music in the scented gloom.
She saw, as flower or song made fair,
The last light glow on crest and limb.
One barred owl-plume was in his hair;
Like white moth it danced with him.
Into her willow flute she breathed
Her soul with delicate outs -and-ins.
Her soul was with the dew that sheathed
Loves bead-work on his moccasins.
Her soul was in the fern that laid
Loves sweetness for his moving feet
Between the moon-dawn and the shade
Her soul danced with the Malicete

JAPS' ATTITUDE
TOWARD CHINA 8
PLAN OUTLINED

Washington, Nov. IS (by the AS
ISOLATED Press) .--Japan's position
on China's proposals is being au-
thoritatively outlined this way:
Japan would like to see the con-
ference adopt a set of principles
which, If guaranteeing Japan's
right of existence" would gener-
ally and especially insure for China
her territorial and, in so far as pos
sible. her complete administrative,
integrity. At the same time these
principles could affirm the doctrine
of equal opportunity for all.
Japan, for the moment, has no
bread program to apply to China,
believing that If she sought to i'm
pose a broad platform it would lay
her open to suspicion as possibly
concealipg some hidden purpose.
AS suggestions arise Japan will ex-
plain her own views. which include
a we'll defined limit concerning
China beyond which her spokes-
men say they will not go.
AS Japan and China are mem
bers of the league of nations, and
have subscribed to making public
all treaties, she is ready to refrain
from secret treaties but doubts the
practicability of having China par
ticipate in new treaties concerning
that country. Japan. however, is
agreeable to submitting conclu-
sions to China for an opportunity
to register disapproval should she
so desire.
Japan would subscribe to a dec
laration for the neutrality of China
but would point out that during
the Russo-Japanese war, owing to
territorial and geographical condi-
tons, both Russia and Japan were
obliged to combat on Chinese terri
tory, and that it might be neces-
sary to traverse her soil again.
japanese spokesman argue that
there may, therefore be q differ
ence of degree between the eco
nomic ac..vity of Japanese and
that of other nations. more partic-
ularly in Manchuria and Mongolia,
but they contend it does not imply
the Japan has any intention of ex-
Guiding other nations from the
commerce Of China.
