There has been a steady increase in the value of milch cows per head, which is an indication of the great- er interest taken in the dairy industry in more recent years. In 1910 a milch cow is said to be worth $35.79 while in 1909 the price was $32.36, and in 1908, $30.67. The total valuation of milch cows is plac- ed at $780,308,000, —Lime-sulphur wash as a remedy for the rabbit pest: During the last year the lime-sulphur wash,which for a number of years hasbeen employed to prevent dam- age to trees by the fall appears to protect trees for the en- tire winter.

Once a year all the Buddhist temples in Siam are visite! by the king or his deputies, bearing the phra kathin (yel low robes;, in conformity with an an- cient custom by which the priests were made to seek their apparel for the en- suing year. During the lifetime of Buddbl. monks and priests were sent out to bez for oid castoff garments, which were afterward dyed yellow and patched together to form the required robes. This ancient mendicant cus- tom gradually gave place to the pres- ent one of making the garments from a new cloth of a bright canary yellow, provided by joint contributions of king, princes, nobles and commoners. When the king goes in the royal throne barge to present the roses in person he does so with great pomp and cere- mony. The priestly garments, folded in bundles, are carried to the door of the temple to await the appearance of hix majesty and his suit. The king on arriving takes a priestly robe and places it on a decorated altar. chief priest then lays his hands on the garment and chants an acknowledg- ment.—Wide World Magazine. Won by His Wit. A story is told of an English clergy- man who owed his appointment to a rich living to a lucky pun. He was tutor to the son of a nobleman and had not long taken orders when he attended the funeral of the rector of the parish in which the nobleman’s seat was situated. The father of his pupil was patron’ of the living and was also present at the funeral of the deceased rector. There was a young clergyman present also whose grief was so demonstrative that the noble patron was much affected by the sight and asked if the young man was a son of the deceased gentleman. “Oh, dear, no, my lord—no relation at all,” said the tutor. “No relation!” exclaimed the noble- man in a surprised tone. “None, my lord. He is the curate, and I think he is not weeping for the dead, but for the living.” His lordship, who was something of a wit and a cynic himself, was so de- lighted with the bonmot that he con- ferred the living upon the ready pun- ster. Through a Big Telescope. The first look through a great tele- scope is disappointing, but the novice soons sees that the flat appearance which the heavens present to the naked eye is replaced by a curious con- cavity; the moon and stars seem to be hung in space rather than spread out on a flat surface. For a moment one feels at the telescope like a child watching the swift moving balls kept in the air by a juggler and expecting to sec one of those great, bright bodies fall. Then comes the thought, What keeps them there, apparently suspend- ed in space with absolutely nothing to held them firm? The explanation of the learned astronomer causes the braiis of the layman to whirl, and he sees himself, perhaps for the first time, as a child gathering pebbies on the great shores of the sea of knowl- edge or as “an infant in the night, an infant erving for the light, and with no language but a cry.”—National Maga- zine. The New Hen. Of the Inte Atherton Blight, one of the founders of fashionable Newport, a Philadelphian said: “Mr. Blight was amused by the an- ties of the militant suffragettes. At a luncheon at the Bellevue he once sat next to a lady with suffragette no- tions. Plovers’ eggs, hard boiled, formed one course, and the lady called Mr. Blight's attention to the high cost of plovers' eggs that year. “ ‘Even though,’ she said, ‘they have to be shipped from England, 1 don't see why their price should have nearly doubled, do you? # “Well—er--not exactly,” murmured | Mr. Blight, ‘though they do say the hen plovers have taken to acting very oddly of late—strutting around, an” growing topknots and spurs, and even trying to learn to crow.’ "—Exchange.

He owned ‘a splendid yac the Theta, big | enough to sail here in any wa- (ters, and in this yacht he made his : home. He contributed quite a number of inventions to assist scientists in making deep sea soundings and inves- | tigating ocean currents and at the time referred to in this story was en- i deavoring to simplify sea signals. { Abercrombie sailed to the Philip pines among other places, where he was welcomed by the United States officials, especially the officers of the army. Among the families of the ofil- cers he met Miss Leila Turnlee, tho daughter of Colonel Turnlee, com- mander of the —th infantry. Miss Turnlee understood his device readily. Now, the way Abercrombie knew | that Miss Turnlee understood his con- | trivances was because she always said “Yes” and “Indeed” and “How clever” exactly at the right time, and when he asked, “Do rou follow me?” she always replied, “Perfectly.” Mrs. Turnlee was much pleased that her daughter had a mind capable of receiving the explanations of Aber crombie’s inventions by Abercrombie himself, no. that she cared anything for the inventions, but she hoped her daughter's vigor of intellect would lead Abercrombie to become interest- ed and possibly that a fine catch would fall to the family. The good lady had dragged half a dozen children over many territories in the western por- tion of America during her younger days and had known what it was to get settled in quarters to be immedi- ately ordered to some other station or turned out by a ranking officer. Abercrombie’s yacht was preferable to an adobe hut or log apartment even when fixed. In other words, Mrs. Turnlee desired that her daughter should marry elsewhere than in the army. At dinner one evening at Colonel Turnlee's quarters Abercrombie was explaining to the family his new sys- tem of sea signals. Colonel Turnlee, who was a West Pointer and should have understood anything in the sig- nal line, knew but little of what his guest said. Mrs, Turnlee understood never a word. Miss Leila did not need to ask a single question. It all seemed to go straight to her brain and find a lodgment there. “Upon my word!" exclaimed Aber- crombie. “How did yon good people come to have a daughter so much brighter than yourselves?" “Leila has always attended the best schools,” said the fond mother point- edly. “Besides, she has scientific tastes.” “I have never met,” Abercrombie de- clared enthusiastically, “one who has taken in everything 1 have said so readily.” “She inherited it from her grand- father, Admiral Turnlee,” the mother pursued. “ie wrote a book on coral reefs and another on volcanic forma- tions. Children always take from thelr grancparents rather than their own fathers.” Colonel Turnlee, who was cracking nuts, did not notice his wife's asper- sions on his own generation. “Do you think, Miss Turnlee,” said Abercrombie, “that if 1 were to send you a message by my code from my yacht out in the bay you would under- stand it?” i “I think I would,” replied the girl | demurely—*that is, if it were not too long.” “Very well.

Her mother had confidence that she would understand the signal perfectly and furnish Abercrombie with fresh evidence of the brilliancy of her in- tellect. The colonel went on cracking and munching nuts. but sald nothing. When the dinner broke up he had to go over to see the commanding gen- eral, and Mrs. Turnlee received a visit from the major's wife. This left Aber- crombie and Miss Leila alone together for the rest of the evening. Aber- crombie in order to give her a better chance to pass the test to come off next day coached her a bit, asking her a few leading questions concern- ing it. He discovered that she did not know as much about the code as he had thought she did. He left her doubting that she would be able to telegraph him a correct answer to his message. The next day at 3 there were evi- dences on the Theta of a desire to communicate with some one. Aber- crombie himself was holding up little flags and running them down again. His message was, “You are a very bright girl.” When the signaling was over Abercrombie waited for her tele- gram. It did not come, but later Colo- nel Turnlee's orderly brought a note.
