WAS OUT TO SAVE MONEY
Mrs. Newbride Had It All Figured, to
Her Own Satisfaction, at
Any Rate.

Eyes, 1t does, as you say, give rath-
er an air to the fat" agreed the al
most new husband. His wife had seat
ed herself OF the arm of his chair sur
veying their latest acquisition, the
baby grand piano, which filed three
fourths Of the living room.
"And now if we only had one Of
those nifty : floor lamps"
unused the almost new husbands bride.
"Why, Bettina, 1T was only yester-
day that you argued the piano would
finish the without buying an
other thing" protested the almost new
husband. "That was one Of the ar
guments you used to wheedle me into
buying!"
"Well, Of course, it saves us buying
a luscious blue plush bed-davenport, or
a graceful chaise Tongue or a library
table," she defended. "There simply
isn't room in this apartment for much
besides the piano. It really is an
economy in the end. But a lamp is
different. You know that a grand pi-
ano Is not complete without a floor
lamp. And while we are at it we
might as we'll get one Of the newest
kind. Just think how coy we would
look with you sitting peacefully under
the new lamp while I play to you ev-
cry EVENING""
HUM" groaned the almost new
husband. "The next thing you'll be
telling me that a grand piano requires
an oriental prayer rug under the ped
ais, a Persian scarf thrown across the
bench and a vase of dollar-a-smell
roses in constant attendance. I'm
rather surprised that you haven't men,
toned another apartment with a pi-
ano room for your pet"
1T would be NICE" agreed the bride
failing to note the touch Of sarcasm in
the voice Of her husband. Then she
rallied her forces once more. But
think how much money it will save
us on movies. BY staying home to
play and sing we save-let. me see
exactly &c cents q day."
by the way" said the almost new
husband, I'VE mustn't forget our serial
on Friday night. Last week left Harry
H%airbreadth in an awful fix. Do you
think the piano would mind if we
left it alone just once?"
"Oh, I guess not" answered Betty
absent-mindedly. Then she launched
her final attack. you know, Billy, I
can't expect you to give up going out
entirely, at least until 1 learn to play
better. I have heard of a splendid
teacher at $40 an hour and I really
think, to be worthy Of such an instru-
ment, I should take lessons"
TITS not the original cost, it's the
upkeep!" said the almost new husband.
Come along, my dear, to the movies"

PROVIDE COMFORT FOR COWS
Ono Of Essential ThInos to Think
About In Construction Of Build
Ina for Animals.

Comfort is one Of the things to think
about and provide for In the building
Of a dairy barn. ~Stanchions are salts
factory, especially the type that swings
free and allows a measure of side
movement. The length Of the stall Is
not often enough reckoned with. Give
the cows plenty Of room to stand at
ease with their hind feet two or three
inches forward Of the gutter. If the
cows vary in size, the gutter at a
slight angle. so that the stalls at one
end are somewhat shorter than they
are at the other end Of the barn. This
allows the placing Of the cows accord
ing to size in such a way that the stalls
can be kept clean without trouble.

IMPORTANCE OF DAIRY BARN
Many Failures Have Been Recorded
Because Of Poor Structures
Building Cost High.

The dairy barn is more than ever
one Of the principal factors in dairy
farm operation. In many instances
dairies have failed or succeeded be
cause Of the barn. This year prob
ably there is more thought given to
barn construction than ever before.
This is because dairymen, farmers and
breeders have come to realize the i'm
portance of the barn and because the
cost Of building has mounted so high.

C~ream-Colored MoIes.

It Is rather curious to find dead
moles lying about dykesides when
mole-fur prices are so high, writes a
correspondent from Scotland. I crossed
a field, and at the exit I counted no
fewer than % mOles in a heap. These
had evidently been thrown there
by q local trapper as useless lum-
Der. More curious still, l came on
what may be called the unique in
moles. A gardener had trapped four
of these rodents Of a decided cream
color. No portion of the bodies gave
signs of normal coloring. The gar
dener said he surmised. there were
more on his premises, but he had
failed to catch them at the date he
exhibited the four referred to.

New Discoveries in Crete.

Excavations at Knossos, Psaetos
and other sites in Crete have not mere
~ established the existence Of q people
whose form of civilization was the
earliest in Europe; but have shown
much about their daily life, games,
amusements; their art, religion, writ
i4g-though hardly vet their language;
their physical characteristics, dress
and the houses they live In.
A huge palace, as big as Bucking-
ham palace, has been unearthed at
Knossos. It has a drainage system
that an eminent Italian archeologist
has described as absolutely English"
and that certainly anticipates the hy-
draulic engineering Of the Nineteenth
century. The men Of science engaged
In the work estimate the age Of their
discoveries at four thousand years.

"Hen- Diver" Refused to Figure
on Pursuer's Menu.
Curious Speed Contest Reported by
Nature Student, Who Witnessed
tho Incident, on Maine Coast. :"

. Seals are quick Of movement, and
anyone who has yer watched them
feeding cannot but marvel at the speed
with which they dart about in the
water and the apparent ease with
which they are able to overtake their
prey, says Bulletin Of the American
Game Protective association, and like
wise there are few duck hunters who
have not had the opportunity Of wit
Messing the speed Of the grebe, COM
monty known as the hell-diver. He
can easily protect himself by diving
and swimming under water, and slight
ming is slow as compared with the
speed with which a hell-diver sub
merges when he sees the flash of a gun
headed in his direction"
Which Of the two Is quicker in the
water becomes a nice question, to the
discussion Of which Arthur l.. Penni-
man contributes the story Of a con-
test he witnessed on the Maine coast,
in the Penebscot bay region, between
a seal and a pied-billed grebe, when
each contestant was apparently doing
his best, "the seal looking for his
supper and the hell-diver intent on
seeing that he. didn't make up the
menu" II
while we were engaged in studying
the habits Of a fish hawk" MI Penni-
man writes, "our attention was at
tracted by a great commotion in the
water off shore. From u blind we
could see that the s%plashing was
caused by a seal performing the most
curious antics in his attempts to catch
a bird which we later identified as a
pied-billed grebe.
1.-THE seal made rapid progress, por-
poising in and out of the water in
quick diving leaps and was fast v
hauling the bird, which vas swimming
frantically to escape his pursuer, but.
however, made no attempt to fly. A.
ter a straight-away race Of some fifty
yards or more, it seemed as If the
chase was over, as both bird and seal
disappeared in the same splash as the
seal struck the water. When the
splash subsidized we saw that he grebe
had cleverly lodged to n side and.
after twisting and turning quickly
around a very small circuit to elude
the seal, he headed straight for shore.
1.-THE bird now began to use it's
wings, and, skittering rapidly over the
water, soon distanced the seal, which
continued the chase until within 80
feet of the beach, where the water
was no more than knee deep.
'There he sat with his shoulders out
Of the water, watching the grebe as
the latter ran along the edge Of the
shore. Then, al though he hated to
give up his meal, he slowly pursued
the bird on a parallel course in the
water, paying not. the slightest atten-
ton to the men on the beach until he
was frightened off by our Intervention
in the contest"

Mohammedan Fanatics Paid
Dearly for brain Stew"
Excess OF Zeal Discouraged by Frenoh
Authorities in Northern Senegal
In Effective Manner.

Boomba is not the seat Of Mohana-
medan culture in Africa. Boomba
lies in northern Senegal, behind the
west coast Of Africa, Inundated at
the onward strides Of Dakkar, q
worldly seaport knowing neither re-
ligion nor shame. And let it be known
to all men that the natives In the
%hinterland nigh unto Boomba are as
the "wee sma' hours of the mornin',"
in blacklist darkness; but seeking the
light Of a great awakening.
Last month, while the Contarf,
stout shipping-board vessel, now at
pier %, foot Of Pacific street, lay to
in the roadstead at Dakkar, a wave Of
revival hit the vicinity Of Boomba, &C.
cording to the assistant engineer.
The blacks got religion and the
blacklands resounded with the chant
Of There Is no God but Allah, and
Mohammed is his p~rophet"-in fervent
Senegalese.
Now, the German found the Sene-
.galese a fercesome soldier. On his
native Jungle trail he is even more SO.
On the warpath went the newly con-
verted Mohammedans, with fire In n
hand and the sword in the other, after
the fashion Of Saladdin's host. They
were bound to out-Mohammed Mo
manned and great was their zeal.
Furthermore, they were bound on q
quest to show their brethren, unbeliev-
ing dogs on the docks of Dakkar, that
a warrior Of the jungles could acquire
that polish which some say comes only
to citizens Of the worldly state. dwell
ing In a great metropolis.
There CHANGED across their march q
party of Frenchmen, hunting wild
beasts of the field. The Frenchmen
were, moreover, u%nbelieving dogs. The
slaughter was swift, pitiless and al
most painless. Eleven dead Gauls
were laid at the feet Of the chief Of the
Boomba hinterland. +
MY children" cried he, in a rolling
brOgue such as is banded about in the
jungle, "behold these men Of culture
and little faith. They have the wis
dom Of them who sit in high places,
but they have the faith Of the grovel-
ing jackal. We have done well to
chop off their heads. now we will do
we'll to acquire their wisdom. Let us
have brain stew, made from the brains
Of the F%renchmen, in whom there was
wisdom but little faith"
And so the stew was eaten.
About a week later, a dozen Of these
fierce seekers after a great wisdom
were gathered in by the French au-
thorities. And in another week they
were sent to another land, far beyond
the clouds, where~the houris, tread the
mazes Of the heavenly dance and wis
dom comes to all men who are true
believers. At least, that is the tale as
told by the assistant engineer. And
thus endeth the quest Of the converts
Of the Boomba hinterland, searchers Of
wisdom in the name of the prophet
Brooklyn Eagle.

have also won a niche in the arts and

CUT DOWN BIG MILK LOSSES
Marked Effect Upon Prioes That the
Ultimate Consumer Must Pay
for the Product.

To develop better methods for
handling and shipping milk from the
farms to the city market is the OBJ
ject Of an Investigation of practices
In various milk plants, which is be-
ing made by the dairy division of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Milk losses during, shipment
have a marked effect upon the price
that the consumer must pay for the
product, and upon the price that the
farmer receives for the product. The
losses are Of two kinds; those re-
sulting from milk souring In transit,
and those from theft, spoilsge and
leakage. Both are believed to be
%avoidable If the farmer, country deal
err and city dealer will work to-
gether.
Dealers r being asked to give in
formation on various subjects, such as
the methods used for transporting milk
from the farm to the dealer, the pro-
lection provided for milk while in
transit between dealer and the city
market, and the relative efficiency of
different types of refrigerator cars.
