James Lyons, of Skowegan, has succeeded by the use of ap pies in so training his horse that the animal is no longer afraid of automobiles. The animal's fear ot motorcars has resulted in four broken wagons and nearly scared the female members of the house hold to death. Lyons was out driving recent y when he saw an automobile coining along a narrow place in tho road. He had been eating apples, and as he jumped out of tho wagon ha went to the horse s head and cave the animal an apple. As the machine whizzed by the liorso hardly noticed it. Lyons theu got his idea, went home and perfected an arrangament to the saddle largo enough to hold sever al apples Hy pulling a string from tho wagou the basket lowered in front ot the horse's Lead, so that when aD automobile approaches the basket drops, tho horse begins eating the apple and fails to notice the machine.

Belief lh witeucraft l still so fnt rooted In parts of India that ti ruft it n- Jiuto persons suspected of tho black nit are not uncommonly done to th nth. In Penpal hint year ncvcrul cimes of tho kind tame before tlie courts. In tho Smithul 1'arnnnahs a wnmai w.ia murdered by her mother ami brother, Who believed her to ho a witch. In 1'alamau a man wax killed, ns tho villagers hold that ho was a wiz ard. In another caHo two women wore murdered on tho baro suBplclon that they had canned tho death of three children by cholera. Human sacrifice nlHo Is still practiced among tho un civilized tribes of Denial. In AiiruI somo Khonds sacrificed a girl as a propitiatory offering against cholera, and In I'nlamaii a boy was en ticed lnJ.o tho Jungle and killed ns a Bacrlflco. There can bo llttlo doubt that any relaxation of vlgllnnoo would result In a serious Increase of witch killing nnd human sacrifices. PHOTOS BY ELECTRIC LIGHT. First of Them Made as Far Back as 1844. Comparatively few, perhaps, know that the elect) ic light wan used In photography so far back iih 1844, and yot that this was the cane Ib shown by ail Interesting present which bus been received by the Royal Micro scopical Sm'lety from M. Nachet, ono of tho French Fellows. This consists of a frame containing six micro- daguorreotypos taken with tho electric light by tho great French savant, Loon Foucault. They aro probubly not only the oldest photographs of their kind In exlBtenco, but almost certain ly the first application of the electric light to Bclentlllc studies. The origi nal plates from which these reproduc tions were mndo nil hear the date 1844 and tho signature f 1-" 'ou caulL Stone Gongs. At Chufu, tho birthplace of Con fucius, there are to bo seen nomo re markable examples of sounding stones, or stono gongs. One of these stones, which are composed of a gray ish oolitic limestone, has been shap ed into a cover for nn incensc-dlsh placed In front of the tomb of the grandson of Confucius. When struck with a stick, or with tho knuckles. It rings like bronze, and the sound is so distinct that It is dilficult to believe, without inspection, that the object is not really composed of metal. Sounding-stones are known in other countries. There is a bridge'at Co- rick, in County Mayo, Ireland, which Is locally known as the "musical bridge," because the stones forming tho coping give out a musical note when struck. Why Dumns Flls Quit Smoking. The younger 1 Mimas, like M. Ma terllm k, became convinced In middle llfo of the injurious elects of nico tine, and his conversion was brought about In truly dramatic fashion." lio onco told an Interviewer, "which cot out so vividly the evils brought on by smoking that I laid do-vn my cl:.ir (the t ;:Vcnth that day. If 1 rei.ie:.ilT rightly i and vowed I would ne.r smoke Co'i'ln. This vow I bive rigM ly ke t, nnd am lini.ly ion lined th:it tobacco saps the brain us surely ns al cohol." Fortunately, tobacco-smokers can point to a long line of distinguish ed men, from Milton to Meredith, who have lived to a great ago with unim paired faculties In splto of their smok ing habits. The Food Value of Chestnuts. The fruit of the chestnut tree is nearly ns valuable as bread and more valuable than potatoes for dietetic purposes. Two pounds of chestnuts contain 118 grammes of starch nnd eight of fat. Tho annual production of chestnuts In Franco Is over 3,000,000 quintals of 220 pounds. That means food for many workmen. Hut the tilde-tan-ners keep the product from tho food market by buying It in largo quanti ties for use In their business. Pro ducers make moro profit by selling their chestnuts for tanning than by deposing of them for food. His Own Opinion. ""So," said the head of tho Arm, "yon want your salary raised?" . "Yes," the olllce boy timidly roplled. "What makes you think your value to this company has been Increased?" "Well, do baseball season's over, and I'll bo hore a good deal more reg ular now." The Brave Knights of Old. Tho human raco is not physically deteriorating. The quotation, "Wo are growing wenkor and wiser," Is only a partial truth. We are certainly growing wiser, and wo nro as certalniy not growing weaker. Tho human ani mal is more robust, and powerful to day than ever, capable of greater strength nnd enduranco. It has been demonstrated many times that the famous knights of chivalry, tho tales of whose prowoss make the blood tin gle, were smnller nnd weaker thnn the men of the present time. The average ninn of to-dny cannot got Into the armor of tho old Crusader. Ills body Is bigger and more powerful than as that of the man or old. New Blood Needed. Just because some neighbor gets more eggs than Mr. A, Is no reason why A should change his breed of chickens. Probably he ought to In troduce new blood into his flock and give it different caro from what It has been getting. However, do not waste timo and feed on dunghills and scrubs. hi ii are uu, P. uJ in kv mfm f v vn to to M.:j-Vt AND AND BEE KEEPIMG is. KEEPING A FEW BEES. An Easy Way of Supplying the Table or Adding to One's Income. Any person living upon a farm or In the outskirts of a village would find It a pleasure and a prollt to keep ono or more colonies of bees, especial ly If ho desires to have a few dollars of his own. The honey bee is a benefactor to our race, roaming the fields nt will, gathering honey and pollen, which It pays for in tho fertili zation of tho Mowers. She takes noth ing from tho fertility of the soil, but gives to It one of tho greatest fertiliz ers known, tho clovers, which would become extinct if it were not for her ngency in fertilizing the bloom. .o land is required except a spot on which to place tho hives. The fear of Btings, 1 think, prevents many from not liking the work, and yet, when properly protected with a bee veil, and working only In the-. warm part of the day. and never when cloudy, rainy or cold, and with the use of a good smoker, one need rarely bo stung. In many cases the sting of a bee Is attended with much pain and swellli.g, while In others there Is no doubt that the system can soon bo come inured to tho poison so that no bad effects ure produced. Well the writer recollects the time when a bee sting was very pa'nful to him and was always attended with much pain and swelling. I know there Is a sort of current Impression to tho effect that bees will sting some people moro than others. While this Is true, It Is not because they are able to recog nize any peculiar physical condition or difference, nor Is it because one person smells to the bees differently from another. It Is because they no tice a difference in behavior of dif ferent persons. Avoid quick mo tions; do not breathe upon them, and if there are other bees flying about in search of plunder do not leave the hive open too long. In case of acci dents the smoker should be used freely, and It ought to be at hand for any manipulation in the apiary. It Is much easlor to prevent the anger of bees than to put a stop to it after it has begun. If you mismanage a colony of bees and rouse their anger it is quite likely that this disposition will remain with them for a few das. A bee away from home, or laden with honey, never volunteers an at tack. This Is so well established and so well known by aplaivists that If I were not writing mainly for beginners I should not think of mentioning it Thus, in order to render bees harm less It Is oaly necessary to causo them to 1111 themselves with honey, and this Is done by frightening them with smoke. When smoke Is driven into a hive through the entrance the bees at once begin filling themselves with honey. lint with them, as with hu man beings, It Is the most experienced that are the slowest to take flight. So when the old bees are all at home It is more difficult and takes more tlmo to compel them all to (111 them selves. For this reason it is much safer to handlo bees during the warm est part of the day, or at a time wben the greater part of the old bees are In the field. The bees which compose a swarm are usually filled with honey for the Journey that they expect to take, and are harmless unless crush ed or very much Irritated by the lin ger of others and the smell of the poison. It Is not absolutely necessary to smoke a colony of bees till all the bees fill themselves with honey In or der to handle thorn safely, but It is certainly the safest method. F. G. Herman. Beet Friends of Farmers. If every farmer and fruit grower were to take tho advice offered re cently lu a rcmurkablo lecture before the Farmers' 'Club, Unidon, Hrltlsh crops would probably be multiplied In value by millions of pounds. Mr. Herrod, proving his ennten tious by admirable slides, mndo out the bee to be ono of the greatest friends of the human race. Formic add, which no chemist can make. Is obtained direct from tho bees In America and used as a cure for rheu matism nnd In tho hospitals honey Is now employed as a valuable substi tute for cod liver oil. Hut the farmer and fruit grower receive the most valuable boon. It Is proved that apples are earlier, larger and much more numerous where bees are In quantity. Some photographs showed that misshapen and stunted apples are duo principally to bad fertilization and the perfect strawberry needs 100 to 300 nets of fertilization. ' New Zealand, which now exports clover seed, could not grow any till a cargo of bumble bees was sent over, and a number of California fruit grow ers failed till. bees were kept. The marvelous statement of Dar win that flowers, especially red clov er, are liner where cuts are most numerous was corroborated. Only the bumble bee fertilizes the first crop of red clover, the smaller flowers of the second crop can be reached by honey bees; the great enemy of the bumble bee Is the Held mouse; the great enemy of the field mouse Is the cat Therefore, flowers are best where cats are many. It would be not less true to say that the clover is best where owls are most frequent Thanks to All. We are certainly thankful for the large number of new sub scribers added to our list during the month just closed. They were all voluntary, which speaks for itself.
