Taylor, of lloston. who has upent several years iu Jupan. "Japan Is a land of children and thousands of them literal ly put in several weeks every autumn In capturing dragon tliea and tying kites to them for the fun of seeing them fly. Soon after the turn of the xun in the afternoon, hundreds and thousands of huge dragon flies busy themselves flyluK here and there over tho rice fleldn aud gardens, catching Insects and gnats. The Japanese boys carefully saturate the eud of a bamltoo with tar. and start out for the run. They must hold the bamboo up to at tract the unsuspecting dragons to take a rest. In a moment the boy gives the bamboo a twist, and puts the tar end into so ninny motions that it la Impos sible for the creature to avoid it. Tho boys are so expert at the business that 1 have seen them chase a fly that hnd gotten much ahead of them and suc ceed In sticking the dragon fly to the reed. When once on the tar end of the po'e there is a miserable future for the captives. They are tied to gether and carried around in the chase. Then a string Is tied to each one, and a small pier? of paper, serving as a kite, which the poor flies are required to sail. They fly away. but. of course, soon get caught in a tree or hush and die of starvation." St. Iouis Globe-Oeuiocrat. ltlTalrlen of Women. Famoiw women are the great dram atic artists of history Without the comtvly which even their tragedies furnish, history wou'd be as cold as an orchestra without brass. How their caprices, their foibles, their frailties, their daring cleverness, sparkle out of the ol d pages. How their faces, beautiful or Individual, Jewel the musty chinnlelo and allure the student from the dark procession of the past. Even the demoniacs, Ca therine de Medlcls. Catherine of Rus sia. Lucretia Horg'a. have a pictur esoiiftiess unattainable by man. Hy comparison Henry the Eighth is a vul gar butcher. Philip the Second a mon omaniac with lu.t for blood.

The Joints are made by sawing the bar apart at the places indicated in the engraving, then connecting the sec sections by bolting on two stout iron straps, the bolts passing entirely through the bar or wooa. our sirapa of light wagon tire iron, each six inches long, and four six-Inch bolU will make the two Joints. A space of one inch left between the sections of the bar will give sufficient flexibility; to it for the purpose required. Production al Food. The cost of a pound of human food, based on results from 1,776 animals examined at our various experiment stations and at the Columbian EpoBl tion, has been carefully studied by, Dr. W. H. Jordan, director of the Maine station, and embodied in an en tirely new lecture that was the fea ture of the Stato Dairymen's Conven tion. In brief, the work of Dr. Jor dan was to figure out the relation be tween the food eaten and what is pro duced by it. The percentage of dress ed weight to live weight In steers la 64.4. In the composition of a dressed carcass we throw away in what can not be eaten eighteen pounds out of every 100 pounds. So that in the steer we get only 46.4 pounds ot food in each 100 pounds of live weight, th remainder being discarded. But ot milk we throw away nothing it is all eaten, all digestible; in eggs we throw away nothing but the shell, eggs and milk being perfect foods. One of the cows at the Maine experiment station produced as much human food in one year as are to be found in four 1,000 pound steerB. The lecture was, all through, a plea for exactness in ex perimentation Dr. Jordan saying that he had more faith in the work of the fiftv-flve exDerlment stations ot the country than in popular notions ot a practical nature. Is due to the protests received from all parts of the world when the subject was first discussed. Fortnightly Re view.

In Belgium they have had slow smoking races; the pipes having been filled with half an ounce of to bacco each, and the winner was he who held out the longest without re lighting. A writer in Macmlllan's Magazine thinks It must be a common experi ence with us all to look back wlh something of wonder, even of humili ation, to the things in literature or art we once thought exquisite and ot highest worth. The oratory we once sat under, the music we once sang or played, the engravings we used to buy and hang on our walls when we were eighteen (and infallible), how poor and chean they often seem after a quarter of a century or so, during which we have read more, thought more, used our eyes more, and drunk deeper of the "still and sad music of humanity."

Keening Watering- PUce Tree From ! Ice about the troughs possesses the element of danger to a degree suffi cient to warrant no little care in avow lng it. An animal may slip and strata Itself, or may fall hard enough to in ture It seriously or even fatally. The first thing to do In the prevention of Ice about the troughs Is to have tight troughs. A leak will certainly lead to lee. Also, the pipe or trough conduct In the water from the pump to the watering trough must ne tignr ana so must be the connections. Shallow. troughs are to be avoided, as the wa ter is apt to be spilled from tnem. k fat hoe Is most apt to slip and be ln lured thereby: and the hog, with his propensity for wallowing is most apt to have ice about his trough. How ever, this can be avoided by nailing strips across the trough, close enough to keep out his body, but not so close as to keep out his snout.

The good qualities of the grade are valuable only In the animal showing them. There Is no certainty that they will be transmitted to its posterity. Rather Is there certainly that such qualities will not be transmitted. A grade female bred to a thoroughbred male of her own kind will generally breed true to the male. But if bred to a male ot another breed, even though a thoroughbred, this prepotency ot the male is less certain. The result Is al most sure to be a mongrel, inferior to either of Its parents. MISSING LINKS. Two tralued mice operate a spinning machine devised by a Glasgow ma chinist. The Japanese, up to forty years ago, had a very silly custom. They vac cinated on the tip of the nose.
