| When Servants Were Fined.

= | regulations that were adopted over 300
| years ago in the household of Sir J.
| Harrington, the translator of Ariosto?

FARM NOTES.
—Young pigs are so
quire an excess of that element if given
an opportunity, thereby stunting their
growth.
E flock owner of long experience
in wed Es breeding ewes fully realizes
that the condition of ewes at mating has
a decided influence upon the breeding
qualities of both ewes and progeny.
—Always try and select the best and
most Ty looking stock for breed-
ing And if they have the
proper attention, so much required, nine
times out of ten they will prove good
breeders.
—Six pounds of skim milk to two
pounds of cornmeal makes an economic-
al feeding ratio for growing pigs. A 100
pound shoat will make very satisfactory
gains on two such feeds a day. Eight
pounds of skim milk make a gallon.
—An application of nitrate of soda to
the late cabbage patch will have a good
effect and will be the means of reviving

many plants that look puny and poor.
Constant watchfulness for insect pests
should be the slogan this month and |
next. i
—The cattle should be salted at least |
twice each week. The better practice is |
to have the salt by them at all times.
Either use rock salt or have the common |
salt under cover so the wet weather will |
not dissolve it. There is no danger of an |
animal eating too much salt unless it has |
not had any for a long time.
—The apple crop is going to be a big
one, which makes it all the more neces-
sary that the orchardist and shipper cul-
tivate an enlarged demand by putting
onto the market good, honestly packed,
honestly labeled fruit at reasonable |
prices. Let the cider mills and vinegar |
factories take care of the culls.
—A good brood sow is the foundation
of one of the most profitable branches of
live-stock industry. She should come
from a family that fattens ly and has
not suffered deterioration through im-
proper crosses or been weakened in con-
stitution by inbreeding. To bring large
litters the sow much have room for them
both before and after farrowing—both
in length of body and in udder capacity.
—President H. S. Waters, of Kansas
Agricultural College, says that this coun-
try has the greatest hog shortage in
years, and that it will take two years of
corn crops to bring the hog supply
to the normal. Eastern farmers
who are turning their attentio: to pork
production will have little cause to regret
their action during the coming two or
three years. There is money in good
—It is not necessary to make idle pets
of young foals, but they should be taught
to lead at the halter, stand tied in their
stalls, as well as display manners in the
stable, wisely suggests a horse trainer,
and he adds: A wild, tricky foal, unbrok-
en when young, makes a double task
when sub to the break harness of
a 3-year-old. Their first lessons are never
forgotten, and it pays to master them
when young.
Rhubarb in Winter.—Rhubard can be
forced as a winter crop on a large or
small scale. Many people have a few
“hills” in their cellar and thus furnish
the family table. In recent years it has

left in the ground until they are frozen—
at least they are left out of doors until
after the first “freeze up.” The roots
can be plowed or dug up while the ground
is still soft, then after it is frozen they
can be carted like so many chunks of
rock and put in the place :

Red Hair and Temper.
“All mankind.” said Major Hurst. a
well known English student of eu-
genics. “may be divided into those
who are red haired and those who
It is a fundamental
difference.” In almost every case of
a red baired child the major has sue-
ceeded in discovering a red haired an-
cestor, and he thinks that practically
| the whole of the red haired population
springs from a single red haired man
far back in the pust. Here are some
of his concinsions:
In order for red to appear it must be
in the ancestry on both sides.
A red father and a dark mother. or
vice versa. bardly ever have a red
child.
Two reds always have red offspring.
But it is exceedingly rare to find two
reds marry, as they seem to have a
mutual antipathy.
It is a popular fallacy that red haired
persons have any distinctive tempera-
ment. They are no more hot tem-
pered than other people.
A Story of Talleyrand.
During the troublous days of the
French revolution. when aristocratic
heads were dropping in the basket in
the name of liberty, fraternity and
equality. Talleyrand lived and pros-
pered by virtue of a marvelous ability
to tell just the psychological moment
to jump off one hand wagon and aboard
another, .
The name of this French displomat
bas been kept alive more than have
those of most of his contemporaries by
a vast number of anecdotes in which
he figures. It was Talleyrand whom
Mme. De Stael. homely but brilliant,
tried to corner by asking him If she
and the beautiful Mme. Recamier were
to fall into the water, which one he
would rescue. And Talleyrand smiled
in his most languishing manner and re-
plied:
“Ah, madame, but you swim so well,
you know!"
Wangen’s Fountain of Wine.
A fountain of wine is one of those
historical extravagances which are
generally associated with the name of
Nero, yet on every July 13 the public
fountain of Wangen, in the Alsace
wine country, lows with wine. In the
middle ages the commune of Wangen
was sentenced to make an annual pay-
ment to the monastery of Strasburg of
400 measures of wine. In 1793 the pay-
ment was abolished by the Directory.
Under Louis XVIII. two merchants se-
cured the transfer of the payment to
them, by means of forged documents,
for £650, but the commune commenced
proceedings against them, in which it
was victorious on July 18, 1830. Since
that date a communal festival has
been held on that day, and from the
public fountain erected to commemo-
rate the victory wine flows for one
hour in the day.— Westminster Gazette.
No Complaint to Make.
It was at the vaudeville. The girl
with the excruciating voice bad just
finished her song.
“Just think!" groaned Brown to the
stranger beside him. “We paid real
money to hear that!”
“I didn't.” was the placid response.
“Came in on a ‘comp.’”
“But you had to spend car fare to
get here. did you not?" asked Brown.
“Nope.” replied the uncomplaining
one. “I live in walking distance.”
“But,” persisted Brown desperately,
“at least you hoped to be entertained,
not punished.”
“No. | didn't care,” grinned the
stranger. “I came to get away from
Rome. My wife is cleaning bouse.”~

ORIGIN OF BLACKMAIL.
The Term Was Born of Outlawry on
the Scottish Border.
The etymology of the expression
“blackmail” is historically interesting.
It appears to have its origin on the
Scottish border and dating from times
when frequent political feuds between
the then two kingdoms of the British
islands tacitly justified a sort of per-
ennlal terrestrial buceaneering as be-
tween borderers of each realm.
Many of these were outlaws on both
sides of the border. Their neighbor-
ing victims to save their cattle from
being lifted sometimes compounded for
safety by an annual payment as insur-
ance to the bandits. This fee not only
gave them immunity. but entailed
them to protect them from rival free
booters. It was their “mail,” or “pro-
tection.” The “mail” coach was so
named because it had its armed guard
with loaded blunderbuss on the dickey.
But the mail paid by border farmers
was not for honest royal protection,
but for guardianship by thieves, and
hence was “black™ mail, the color of
black being typical of what was nefa-
rious, whether in art or in guardian-
ship, while the guardian of this stamp
was known as the “blackguard” of the |
district. The last named latter day |
term of reproach seems to have ob- |
tained its expression originally as here
described.— London Field. |
Respectability Killed Him. |
There was a hermit in the center of |
London only a few years ago. His =
hermitage consisted of a cellar—the |
sole vestige of a house in Clare mar-
ket pulled down and forgotten by its |
owners. He lived there for a long |
time, supported by scraps of food from |
the tradesmen of the neighborhood. |
and might have lived there longer still |
if a journalist had not “discovered” |
him. He was interviewed and photo-
graphed to death, for the workhouse
authorities, nearly next door. who had
hitherto turned a blind eve toward
him. were compelled to oust him from
his hermitage and make him clean and
respectable—a process to which he sue-
cumbed.—London Mail,
Just Like a Man.
“John.” she said, “I have an awful
pain in my right side. I'm afraid it’s
appendicitis.”
“Are you sure?’ he replied, without
looking up from his paper.
“John,” she walled a moment later,
“it's getting worse.”
“Is it?" he asked. still interested in
the sporting page.—Chicago Record.
