SHOWED ENMITY IN BoYH00D
Encounter Between Youthful Crom-
we'll and King Charles ! Might
Be Called Prophetic.

Cromwell and Charles 1 of England
first met when they were children at
HinchinbroOk house, the home of a
mutual friend Of both the king and
divers father. The boys were told
to play together while their elders
talked over affairs Of state and fash
ion., They got along well enough for
while, and then a dispute arose.
The young king was not used to OPP
position to his princely will, and when
Oliver stoNtly chung to his rights the
king struck him.
Oliver cared not bit that the blow
vas aimed by kings hand. He
swung his somewhat grimy fist as hard
as he could, and caught Charles on
the nose with the to-be-expected re-
suit Blood flowed in quantities, and
the young prince set up a great howl.
Servants came running, and all might
have gone, i'll with the careless COM
mOner had not Charles father taken
hand and declared that the blow
was to be, forgiven, as it was given
in defense Of Q, right, and his son must
learn to know that right was greater
than kings.

Monkeys M0urned comrade.

Monkeys are very human in their
desire to help one another, and quite
skillful in their rude surgery. An At
rican explorer tells a story of a fe-
male monkey that was shot by one OF
a campaign party that he was with.
Several Of the tribe of which she was
q member came as close to the tent
where her body was lying as they
dared, holding out their arms and
making mournful cries, as if begging
that she should be given back to them.
Then a gray old man monkey, prob
ably the chief, came still closer, chat
tering and one could imagine almost
weeping. When given the body, he
took it In his arms, examined the
wound, then walked away, the others
trailing him In single file, thus form.

lovers in the Next World.

A marriage ceremony in unusual
circumstances is reported from Japan.
A young man and young woman
committed shinju, or double suicide,
for love, by throwing themselves into
the sea. Both bodies were recovered
and cremated with Buddhist ceremo-

the home Of the girls father and he
performed a marriage ceremony with
the ashes of the two lovers.

women commit suicide in the hope of
happy married life in the world to

CALLS FOR MANY QUALITIES
ArshselOaIst Must Be Scholar, Linsu.

Expert Handler Of Men.

The modern archeologist In Egypt
must be more than scholar. He
must have studied history, 1t is true;
no must be familiar with what Is
known Of the art and life of Old
Egypt and he must have mastered the
ancient language so that he can read
the hieroglyphs carved on temple and

But scholarship is only part of his
equipment. He must know something
Of engineering and something Of draw
ing; he must have a sense Of organi-

turn to with pick and shovel, should
occasion arise.
The task Of dlslnterring ancient
structures and their precious contents
! ,Ininjured is a delicate one, not to be
done hastily or haphazardly.
9 In addition to being scholar and
engineer, Ilnguist and artist, the mod

He HAD BUSINESS ELSEWHERE
Diner Didn't Care to Wait 20 See the
Result OF His Carelessnees
With the Pie.

DR.. Fabyan Franklin has friend
who vouches for this story. Coming
downtown on the elevated one morn
ing, he was struck by the explosive
temper Of a red-faced, chOferic man
on a seat nearby. This man, annoyed
because youth facing him had placed
his feet on the seat which the man Oc-
eupied, burst out In q storm OF pas
sion, denouncing the youth in tones
that aroused the attention OK passen-
gers in the adjoining cars. He finally
stamped out on the platform at q
stop, boiling with rage.
That noon Doctor Franklin's friend
went into self-service restaurant for
lunch. Getting plate of vegetables
and meat, and one of pumpkin pie, he
placed them on the broad extension
arm of one of the chairs provided for
Iunchers, and made room beside them
for his cup of coffee. AS he was fin
ishing his lunch he reached for the
pumpkin pie, and clumsily knocked 1t
off the chair arm.
To his horror he saw it disappear
into the gaping pocket of large over
coat carelessly flung over the next
chair-and then he perceived the own
err of the overcOat bearing down upon
him, all unconscious Of the accident,
with a plateful Of food. 1t was the
same red-faced, choleric man whose
.9rightful temper had amazed the ele'
ted passengers!'..
As:. soon as the culprit had per-
|fssEsefved that" he waited to see no more.

having been used as name both for

the fact that the electron necklace

HAD TO ovERL0eK FoIBLES
Herbert speneer's Fusslnese a Trial to
These Who Did Not Know His
/ Real Kindness.

More examples Of Herbert Spencer'S
Irritating foibles and extraordinary
pettlness are supefApous, but two Of
them win bear the telling. Az
A friend had the opportunity Of seq
Ing In full wOrRines order the famods
ear-stOppers thaE2 Spencer used : to
wear. Probably some frivolous re-
mark Of the ffASRd> OBJ fined him this
privilege, for in the middle Of the meal
Spencer, with a fixed glanck at elim,
pressed the spring that closed the
hole, Of each ear. ..tAs
After luncheon the host and friend
sat chatting in the garden. when there
came an invitation from Spencer to
take drive with him in his rubber
tired carriage, the message adding that
1--WE are not to talk"
When they were returning from
Spencer's funeral Sir Michael Foster
told this friend the following story:
Spencer detested cushions, and the
trouble was to find q chair that was
hard in the seat and yet comfortable.
SO, at a last resource, he had q seat
covered with some inches of soft plas-
ter Of paris, and sitting on that made
an impress from which a wooden seat
Of an exactly fitting pattern was cut.
Against a certain undeniable fus-
siness there should be set the fact
that Spencer had a soft place in a
heart that seemed adamant, and there
are stories of spontaneous acts Of kind
ness and Of offers Of help to the trou-
bled and bereaved that redeem much
unlovely behavior.

Ilies Used for Food.

Growing water lilies for food is
new idea in America, though 1t has
been practiced on large scale for
centuries in the Orient. Scientists
lately have been making a study Of
the food value Of the lotus lily, the
big yellow water lily found In many
lakes, ponds and rivers in the eastern
and middle western United States.
This lily was highly priced as a food
by the American Indians, just as its
pink cousin, the lotus Of China, India
and Egypt, is a favorite food there.
Peeled and boiled, the American wa
ter lily is as farinaceous and whole
some as a potato and delicious to the
taste.
Propagation of the American lotus
is not difficult, declare scientists, and
there are numerous ponds and lakes
in nearly every state, remarks an ex'
change, whose waters are suited to the
profitable culture Of the lotus lily.

Articles of Interest to the Farmer
Edited by W. Huntmer County Agent Melrose Minnesota

SHUTS of grain crops caused an
estimated loss in Minnesota IN 1919
of approximately $4,OOO,OOO. In some
years the losses are much greater.
I The formaldehyde methods OF seed
treatment, says, R. C. Rose, plant ex-
tensionist at university farm, Will
prevent a large part of this loss. All
seed grain, he adds, should be treated
with formaldehyde since it is not al
ways possible to tell whether it IS
smutted. One of the worst of these
smuts is bunt or sinking smut OF
wheat. The SHUTS of oats and cover
ed smut of barley are also destruc-
tive.
Formaldehyde may be used in sew
eral ways. The commonest method
of treatment is to mix one pint of
formaldehyde with 40 gallons of
water, stir thoroughly and then to
sprinkle the seed grain. An ordinary
sprinkling can may be used.
While one man sprinkles slowly
over the grain another shovels the
grain over so it will be moistened
thoroughly. II is is more convenient
the grain can be placed in sacks and
dipped in the solution. -
A quick method is sometimes used
for oats. One pint of formaldehyde
is mixed with one pint of water and
is sprayed with a compressed air
sprayer on so bushels of oats. If less
oats is treated, a smaller amount of
the solution is used. After the grain
is thoroughly sprayed it should be
