PROPER USE OF GAS STOVE
For Best Results Burners Must Hs
Kept Clean and In Good condi-
tlon-havs Clear Flame.

For good results In using q gas
stove keep the burners clean and In
good condition, and adjust the air
shutters properly, advises the United
States Department Of Agriculture. The
hame should be clear, blue and Of uni
form height. The screw on the air
shutter can be adjusted easily with a
screwdriver. The flame should be long
enough to reach the bottom Of the
saucepan, but not so long that 1t viii
reach its side. The burner should be
set as close as possible to the bottom
Of the saucepan In which food IL cook
ing. One and one-half inches between
the upper surface Of the burner and the
bottom Of the pan Is enough. In most
cases, and sometimes less will suffice
However, the vessel should not sit %
close over the fame - to touch the
inner blue cone or core Of the flame.
for In that case combustion becomes
imperfect to such an extent that car.
bon monoxide. a poisonous gas, may b
formed.

STRONG DRAFTS ARE
HARMFUL TO CANARY
Sonqsters Are Susceptible to
Changes in Temperature.

fpr.parsd by the united States Department
Of AErcuiturs)
Canaries are susceptible to sudden
changes In temperature, and cold
drafts may soon prove fatal, says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. In choosing place for the cage,
direct exposure to q strong draft Of
cold air must always be avoided. A
cage may be placed on a small shelf
along the wall, or suspended from
bracket attached to the wall or win
dow casing. Swinging brackets are in
expensive and are convenient for use
when It is impracticable to fasten
hooks In the ceiling.
When one or two canaries are kept
a. pets, 1t Is usual to suspend their
cages before a window, where the birds
may enjoy light and sunshine. This
is . good practice where the window
In kept closed, during cool or stormy
weather, and the joints are light. 1t
may be necessary to Ane the edges Of
the window frame and the junction Of
the upper and lower halves Of the win
dow with weather-stripping to prevent
drafts, and It is best to suspend the
cage 10 that II will hang opposite or
below the junction Of the two halves
Of the window frame. The room must
remain at a fairly even temperature
day and night, and in cold weather 1t
Is we'll to cover the cage with a towel
or other light cloth at night. A cage
should never be suspended directly
above q radiator, and 1t il best to
avoid keeping birds in small Kitchens,
as the fluctuations In heat are per-
haps more marked there than In any
other part Of the house. Exposure to
damp air may prove fatal.
The cage must be kept scrupulously
clean II the canary IL to remain In
good health and free from vermin. The
supply Of water should be renewed
daily, and the seed cup replenished nj
least every other day. The recepta.
| cles for these necessities should be
cleaned and washed carefully at short
intervals. Cages that have removable
bases should have the tray in the bot.
tom covered with several thicknesses
Of paper. or with heavy. coarse-grained
sandpaper, known a. gravel paper
that may be secured from dealers II
bird-cage supplies. This should be 70
newed whenever the cage is cleaned
and, In addition, the pan should b.
washed In hot water from time to time
Lime on the perches may be removed
by means Of q scrapsr made Of bit
Of tin fastened to wire or tackled a
right angles to q stick small enough Il
pass easily between the wires Of the
cage. Cages with bottom attached
should be provided with 4 sand ira,
that slides in and out through q slo
In the front.

% What became of the Temple
Of Diana?
The fourth wonder of the world
was the Temple of Diana, at Ephesus.
built in the fourth century before
Christ and destroyed by the Goths in
262 A. ID. This magnificent building
became a sort of museum for the re-
ception of objects Of art. and eventu-
ally a place of sanctuary for criminals
and fugitives, who could not be
harmed while under the protection of
Diana. Even men with fresh blood
on their hands were safe within its
pagan walls.
23. Who is the greatest Negro
scientist?
More than one hundred varieties of
products from peanuts, ranging from
from the purest of milks for the sick
room to ink, useful for writing and
sketching. have been discovered by
Prof. G. w. Carver of Tuskegee In
stitute. He has demonstrated many
of his experiments before the mem
bers of the Congressional Ways and
Means Committee at Washington.
Prof. Carver is SO years old, and the
son of ex-slaves. He was born in
Diamond, Mo-, and his education be-
gan at the age of Is years. His high
school training was received in Min
neapolis. He is a graduate of the
Iowa Agricultural college, with the
degrees of A. B. and A. NJ. and was
a student for six years of former Sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson.
"a. Who was Toussaint Lower
ture?
Toussaint L'Ouverture of Haiti
was a slave and the son of slaves, yet
in 1898. when his country was invad-
ed by British and Spanish armies, he
showed all the qualities of remark
able leader. His natural force of in
tellect and high character lent him an
influence to Arouse his countrymen to
drive out the invaders, and under his
generalship this was accomplished.
For some years Toussaint governed
Haiti In the name of France, display
ing extraordinary political genius
comparable with that of the greatest
statesmen Of history. Order, peace
and prosperity were restored to a
land that had been blackened with
ruins and stained with blood. In
1901 he did in Haiti what Napoleon
had done in France-set aside Re-
public. But Napoleon, unwilling to
be initiated by black, dispatched an
army to arrest Toussaint, and restore
slavery. The valient Haitians beat
army after army, and finally, by
treacherous means, Toussaint was
lured into the hands of the French
commander. He was sent a captive
to France, and after the most inhu-
man treatment, by orders of Napole-
on, died in dungeon in 1908.
Leaderless Haiti, however, fought for
independence, and won.

There now is awaiting the signature
of Governor Bryan of Nebraska a
compact recently negotiated by repre-

advantage accruing to this district by
reason of the compromise.
The compact will establish the
rights of the two states and will re-
move the uncertainty heretofore caus-
ed by almost perpetual litigation. The
compact will not change the practices
of established bitches and districts in
this section, with the exception, per-
haps, of one relatively small direct
ditch near Crook. Besides recogniz-
ing the right of these bitches and dis
tricts to operate as heretofore, the
compact makes specific reservation
of $4,000 acre feet of water, to be tax.

ber Is before Colorado bitches can di-
vert water, from 1877 second feet as
previously claimed by Nebraska to
100 second feet. Colorado may obtain
the advantage of high water in the
spring months of April, May and
June. Colorado bitches with DEGREES
obtained prior to 1897, have full prior

will become yearly more important
