CONSUMPTION
A Mistake.
A certain shopwalker in one of the
large drapery establishments in the
west end of London was noted for his
severity to those under him.
One day he approached a junior as-
sistant, whose counter a lady had just
left.
“You let that lady go without mak-
ing a purchase?” he asked, severely.
“Yes, sir,
“And she was at your counter fully
ten minutes?”
“Doubtless; but then, you see—"
“Exactly. I saw that, in spite of all
the questions she put to you, you rarely
answered her, and never attempted to
get what she wanted.”
“Well, but—"
* You need not make any excuse. I
shall report you for carelessness.”
“Well. I hadn't what she wanted.”
“What was that?”
“Six shillings. She's a book canvas-
ser, selling “The Life of Napoleon the
Great!”
The shopwalker retired crestfallen,
amid the audible titters of all the assist-
ants in the department, who greatly en-
joyed his discomfiture.

Shattered Traditions
“You young scroundel!” exclaimed
the unwilling father-in-law, when the
eloping couple presented themselves for
parental forgiveness and place to live
“You conscienceless scamp! You stole
my daughter away and disregarded all
the conventionalities of society. And yet
you ask forgiveness!”
“ou old scroundrel, what did you do?"
retorted the new son-in-law. “What did
you do? You let us elope, and did not
pursue us on horseback with a shot
gun. You have shattered all the tra-
ditions of clbpements and have blasted
all the romance of the affair. for us. We
might as well have got married to the
rumty-tum-tum of the church organ,
and let you pay the bill. You haen't a
spark of appreciation in your make-up!”
Crushed by the merited criticism, the
father-in-law invited them in to supper,
for they were rather hungry. —Baltimore

You Cannot Drown an Ant
It is a singular fact, recently demon-
strated by experiments made by French
scientists, that you cannot drown an
ant. The purpose of the experiments
was to determine how long the insects
would be able to resist asphyxiation af-
ter they had been submerged in water.
An ant immersed in water doubles it-
self up and becomes absolutely inert,
but upon being restored to the air
comes to life in a period varying with
the length of its immersion., After a
ducking of six or eight hours it re-
quires half an hour to ‘come to and
three-quarters to an hour to recover
when the submersion has been continu-
ous for twenty-four hours.
How the Storm Ended
“Woman,” said she bitterly, “is unap-
preciated in this world.”
Here certainly was a chance for him
to even up many old scores, but it so
happened that he was not looking for
trouble.
“True,” he replied. “Unfortunately,
man is incapable of appreciating perfec-
tion.”
Thus he secured at least two of his
favorite dishes for dinner: and yet there
are people who think that man is lack-
ing in the more subtle arts of diplomacy.

Sure Cure for Fatigue.
A stalwart Boston laborer, in secking
work from a farmer, gave the assurance
that he never got tired. The man was
acordingly engaged; but when the farm-
er went to the field where the man had
been put to work he found him lazily
lying on his back beneath a tree.
“Hallo!” cried the farmer, in surprise.
“lI thought you told me you never got
tired ?”
“No more I don't!” replied the una-
bashed laborer. “But 1 precious soon
should be, master, if I didn't do a jolly
lot of resting!”

SAVING THE FODDER.
It is probably too much like work for
some farmers to cut the fodder, hay and
straw with a feed cutter, as the animals
will consume such foods without prep-
aration, but the saving of food and
smaller loss from waste will more than
pay for preparing the food.
THE CHEAPEST FOOD.
The cheapest food is that which gives
the most product. When grass or hay
does not fulfill expectation, feed grain,
ind if necessary buy bran, linseed meal
of other feed materials, They will cost
something, but will be cheaper than the
materials produced on the farm if they
give a profit. Any food is cheap if the |
farmer has a profit after using it. And
not only must he seck the profit in milk,
beef, or eggs, but mn the |

HELPING WEAK COLONIES.
When the fall flow of nectar is light,
the bees discontinue brood rearing early,
and consequently go into winter quar-
ters very light in number, and rather
old to insure successful wintering. This
is one of the direct causes of the so-
called spring dwindling. It must be
prevented by late brooding.
Those who leave their bees to starve
in a poor season are not deserving of
honey in a good one.
To obtain the best results from our
bees they should be fed to stimulate
brood-rearing, so that our colonies will
be very strong at fruit bloom. To do
this we must begin to feed as early
as the weather will permit the bees to
fly at least once a week. Some mild
day soon after removing them from the
cellar, all colonies should be closed on
what combs that will cover with suffi
cient stores to last two or three weeks,
placing the unoccupied combs on the
outside of the follower.
When feeding time arrives prepare
your feed, either a poor grade of honey,
maple syrup, or better still granulated
sugar, which should be about the con-
sistency of newly gathered honey. If
sugar is used the proportion is equal
parts of sugar and water. It may be

bring it to a scald and to put it in the

the combs to be used, uncapping what
honey they contain, and fill the empty
portion with the syrup. Rest the comb
over the tank in a slanting position
with the ¢op bar up and dip the syrup
on it with a dipper having a perforated
bottom. Place one next to the
cluster once a week, removing the one

HOTHOUSE
There is profit in raising hothouse
lambs for the winter and early spring
market, but the enterprise is difficult and
full of dangers. It no easy matter
to work against nature's laws, and yet
this is what we are doing in raising
hothouse lambs. Jut many artificial
methods of farming contrary to nature's
ways have proven great successes, and
this question
thoroughly find the profits good and
satisfactory. In order to have lambs
for any particular market the breeding
of the ewes should take place fully five
months before the lambs are wanted.
This makes it necessary to breed them
in the middle of summer, either in June
or July. It is sometimes difficult to
get the ewes to breed at this time, but

The Earth Rigid
Prof. John Milne, of Japan, who har
tion of earthquakes, with the end it
view of determining the character of the
earth's interior, has recently made
known some remarkable facts which
he thinks he has established.
Probably his most startling discovery
is that the earth is at least twice at
rigid as steel. This is determined by
the rapidity with which seismic waves
are transmitted.
Second, contraiy to popular belief
the interor of the earth is much mon
rigid than the crust. This interior it
so hot that it would become liquid i
the pressure upon it were removed. As
it is, it is not only solid, but extremely
dense. This densi*v is probably due
the fact that in the planet's carliest per
