Syraeu 3 Students Must Swim. The new gymnasium nt the Syracuse (N. Y.) university Is ready for active work, and already the undergraduates are taking advantage of Its resources. As yet the regular gymnasium appa ratus lias not received much attention, for the classes have not been formed, but the cork covered ruuutug track and the swimming pool are known quantities to the majority of the stu dents now at the university. It hns been announced now that the new tank Is In readiness that all freshmen v. ill be required to learn to swim. This will be considered a part of their college course, and they have no choice In the mutter. With the rest of the undergraduates it is optional. 8ale of Player. Nets Club $19,000. It isn't always the pennant winning clubs that make the biggest profits. This is aptly illustrated In the instance of the Shreveport club, which finished next to last in the Cotton States league this season. While the club finished low in the race, yet it must have bad some fine looking material, as major league magnates purchased $10,000 worth of players from Manager Dale Gear. All of the recruits are young sters and brought out by Gear this season. The club went a little behind on the season, but the Income from tho sales of players has put the Shreveport magnates on "Easy street." Lajoie Will Stay With Naps. Since Napoleon Lajole's contract with Cleveland has three years yet to run at ft salary of nearly 510,000 It would ap pear that the rumor of a probable trade whereby Lajoie would go to New York Is nothing more than a rumor. When asked recently as to whether he would like to play in Gotham the great bat- f (ter said emphatically that he would not. He explained that his home and I all his Interests ere In Cleveland and that he would prefer to stay there. Stanford May Abolish Rowing. Followers of rowing at Leland Stan ford, Jr., university are still wonder Ins whether or not rowing is to be re gained an as intercollegiate sport A pedal meeting of the student body executive committee will be held shortly to decide the question. Unless the sport Is placed on a more substan tial financial basis it is thought that rowing will be abolished. President Taft Engages Boxer. Jimmy WalBb, formerly bantam Weight champion, is to teach Charley Taft, youngest son of the president, the manly art of self defense. Walsh was very intimate with Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., when the latter was In Harvard, and rumor has It, but neither will admit it, that they have faced Wach other In a squared circle.

" Quaint Customs That Are Mainta'ned With Rellflloui Care. The bend master of Manchester lrm mar school. In 11 speech at Itoclulnle, referred to a custom nt itugby school which forbids u boy of less tluin three years' mantling to turn up his trousers and IiihIhis on bis doing ho after Hint period. The custom Is only 11 minor Instance of the 1 1 1 11 1 ) t practices Unit exist ut ull the great public schools III Eng land anil are maintained u'llh religious carp, though In many cases their origin Is obscure or unknown. The Shrove Tuesday tossing of Hie pancake nt Westminster school, with Its ensuing Hcriunlile for the largest fliignieiit, which galas for Its possessor a guinea from the dean. Is perhaps the-best known among them. A curious cus tom nt Marlborough requires every Isiy to bring to school with lit nt a cushion, technically termed 11 "klsh" wlth the "I" long. Tills arllcle Is bis Inseparable companion In school time and. hi addition to the ordinary func tions of a ciishl Is employed to car ry books from one form room to 1111 olher. At Shrewsbury school, nt the be ginning ol each term, "hall elections" nre held for the posts ol hall crier, ball constable, hull postman and ball scavengers. The genial brutality of youth often selects lor the position of ball crier either the most nervous boy In the school or one who Is nllllcted with n stammer. The new boy In Hip schnolhouso at Itugby Is early called upon to take Ills part In "house singing" At this func tion, which Is held In one of the dor mitories, he hns to render a song to the satisfaction of his audience, the penalty being the swallowing of n mouthful of soapy water. Another niiclpnt school custom Is the pnrmle of Hip Christ's hospital blue coat boys before the lord mayor nt the Manslou House on St. Matthew's day, when the "Grecians." who correspond to "sixth formers" elsewhere, receive a guinea each and the rank and llle of the school nre presented with new shillings. -l-oudon Mall. BURGLARS' TOOLS. Most of Them Made by Supposedly Respectable Mechanics. Every little while, said a detective recently, the police arrest a man with a set of burglar's tools In bis posses sion, and one naturally wonders where they all come from. It Is easy to buy n gun of any de scription, and the most reputable per son would not be ashamed to be seen purchasing the most wicked looking knife ever made. Hut who would know where to get a "Jimmy" or a device for drilling Into a safe or any of the many tools used by the professional burglar In the pursuit of his calling? There are places In the large cities where these things are made and sold to the users, but such places are ex ceedingly scarce. It may Beetn a little strauge to learn that most of the tools used In burglaries are made by me chanics who are looked upon as re spectable men In the community. When a burglar wants any particu lar tool made he goes to a mechiinle who can do the Job and pays blin per haps five times what It Is actually worth for making the tool and keeping quiet about It. Many detectives can recall cases of this kind that have come to light. One In particular occurred some years ago when an escaped convict named Williams went to a blacksmith and got blm to make a lot of drills to be used In safe cracking. He person ally superintended the tempering of the steel, but when the Job was nearly completed It leaked out, and Williams was arrested, lu this instance the blacksmith knew nothing of the use to which the tools were to be put. Most of the tools used by burglars are se cured in the same way. Philadelphia Inquirer. Shoemaker's Candles. 1 well remember some seventy years ago seeing flat candles in use. To produce what was known as the flat candle, which was also sometimes called "shoemaker's candle," two new ly made "dips" were pressed close to each other while soft and then again lowered into the hot fat, thus holding them together as one candle with two wicks. The size could then be Increas ed if desired. This flat candle was most generally used by shoemakers and tailors, but wjjs made use of in some households whenever an extra bright light for working or reading was required. Cor. Dlckensian. Too Much Like Work. "Haven't you a home?" asked the sympathetic citizen. "Yep," answered Plodding Pete.

An "ob.lei-i admonition" like t tit one described by Warren I.ep Goss In 111" nrllclo, "I'ampalgiilng to No Purpose,'' published In Johnson's "Unities and Leaders i f Hie Civil War." Is often inure ellicaclous than storms of re pronch. One day the colonel of the regiment noticed n soldier on pnrmle wearing a badly soiled pair of gloves. "Corporal." said the olilcer. "why do you set tln men such a bud example mm nppearhiir before them In dirty gloVesV Why Is It?" "I've Icnl no pay, sir, since I entered the service." returned the corporal. "I can't afford to have them done up." The colonel drew from his pocket a pair of gloves, spotlessly while. Hand ing them to (lie corporal, hp said qo'et ly: "Put thpsp on. I washed them my self." It was an iniforgolleii lesson to Hie whole regiment. Von Holsteln's Dress Coot. Prince lliilnw once Invited llerr von Ilolstelii to dinner, telling him Hint It wits to meet I lie emperor. "Put." re plied llolslcln. "I don't lielleve Hint : have a dress coat at present. 1 wIM try. however, to gel one made In time, and If I can't perhaps the emperor will lake me as I am." This, the Times says, was reported to bis majesty, who said I hat llerr von llolslcln was to ap pear In any garb he pleased. When Hie meeting took place Hoi sleln was lu Ills usual frock coal, aed Hie emperor laughingly tapped hint on the shoulder and said: "1 see that dres coat wasn't ready, It doesn't matter." London Standard. As Uood ai He 8ent. At n recent meeting of the directors of an eastern railroad a prominent railroad man repeated a story that he Just had from a conductor on one of the limited expresses between New York u ud the west. It seems Hint a dapper chap In the first chair car bad managed to become unusually friendly with an attractive young woman In nil adjoining seat.

"Oil, as to that." quickly and pleas antly responded the charming young woman, "you haven't tho least advan tage of me. I am an escaped lunatic." Exchange. Early English Scare. In 1370 n report was circulated that "certain galleys, with a multitude of armed men therein, were lying off the foreland of TliaiiPl." and an ordpr was at once Issued that "every night watch shall be kppt bptwppn the Tower of London and Billingsgate, with forty men at arms and sixty archers." The watch was kppt In the following or der: "Tuesduy, the drapers and the tailors; Wednesday, the mercers and the apothecaries; Thursday, the fish mongers and the butchers; Fidny, the pewterers and the vlntnprs; Snturday. the goldsmiths and the saddlers; Sun day, the Ironmongers, the armorers and the cutlers; Monday, the tawers. tbp spnrrlcrs, the bowyers and the glr dlcrs."

In 'he churchyard of Leigh, near Bolton, will be found a tombstone bearing the following amazing sen tence: "A virtuous woman Is 5s. to her husband." Tho explanation seems to bo that space prevented "a crown" being cut In full, and the stonemason argued that a crown equals 5 shillings. London Notes and Queries. Odd.

FARM Hay For Work Hones. Horsemen generally have much to learn on the subject of feeding hay to horses, writes a New York farmer In the American Cultivator. The average man allows the horse to be the Judge of bow much hay he should have, this being gauged by the animal's capacity, and thus ninny n goml horse Is ruined. The writer bus li ml it wide experl micp In (he ci. re unil feeding of draft teams for n period of tin ecu years. I have never found II necessary lo feed more than one pound of hay for every hundred weight of the anliiiiil. Cor ex ample, a l.-loo pound hone should get not more than fourteen pounds of hnv per day. The above amount of hay anil n grain ration composed of corn, oats and bran mixed In the proportion of fifty pounds of corn, fifty pounds of onls nnd twenty-live pounds of bran will make any horse lit for n lintel day's work. One will gciioriill.v ha e to feed from one to one and n half pounds of grain per day to every hun dred weight of horse. The smaller amount may do when he Is at llglff work and the larger aniniint when ut heavy labor. I llnd that such a mix ture as this foil along with the atiioiiul of hay iiienl loued will keep a borne cheerful and make him siiIInIIciI to work. The grain ration Is snlllcloiif ly fattening, while It Is also flesh forming enough In character to Impart a de cidedly wenrlng quality lo Hie mus cles. Cowpeas Improve the Soil. Tim growing of cowpeas greatly Im proves tlie soli. Being a rank feeder nnd deep rooted, thn crop is able to use plant food which Ibn roots of other plants may not secure. Much of Ibis plant food Inter becomes nvnllable for other crops planted after tho rotation with cowpeas. This crop lias the advantage over other crops which nre not legumes In thnt It Is nblp to use the free nitrogen of the nlr through the aid of Ibo liiyr terla which live upon Its roots. The plowing under of a crop of green cow pens will greatly Increase the supply of humus and nitrogen In the soil, and even when the crop Is harvested for hay or seed some Increase In soli nitrogen will result from the decay of roots left lu the soil. In most soils of this state nitrogen Is the limiting element of fertility, and anything that will Increase tho nitro gen supply of the soil will Increase tho soil's productiveness. Tho cow pen, having this nblllly to secure nitrogen from tho atmosphere, not only pro duces more abundantly than a crop not havlng,thls power, but leaves the soli In better condition for crops which follow. Kansas Experiment Station Bulletin. Winter Feed For Brood Sows. In winter the brood sows should have something lo take the place of the green pasture, snys an Illinois swine grower. I kuow of nothing thnt will equal alfalfa, bright and green, run through a cutting machine. Two thirds chaffed alfalfa and one-third shelled corn mixed together and ground In a steel bur grinder make an almost Ideal ration which can be fed dry or mixed thickly with scalding wnter. A little salt adds relish. It Is a cheap ration and has Just bulk enough to take the place of grass. If one can not have alfalfa, bright well cured clover is good. Sorghum cone Is a good fall feed until benvy freezing. Mangles or sugar beets are, of course, very good Hoard's Dairyman. Feeding Whole Grain. Bulletin No. 242 of the Michigan ex periment station offers some exact data upon the subject of feeding whole grain to cows, heifers and calves. When whole grnln was fed to cows 22 per cent was unmastlcated; when fed to heifers, 10 per cent; when fed to calves, .8 per cent. Chemical analysis showed no change in composition of the unmastlcated parts, so it js a safe assumption thnt the animal derives no benefit from grain that passes through the digestive tract unaltered. Keep Sheep Thrifty. There Is one thing the farmer can not afford to overlook In sheep rais ing, and that Is thrift. Thrift means health, gain in quality, quantity and productiveness, the elements out of which the proflts are derived. It must be the first object of the owner to keep his sheep in thriving condition. The quality of the wool, as well as the quantity, and the general productive ness of the flock make this require ment Imperative. Cowpeas as a Fertilizer. In Kansas an experiment in raising cowpeas as a catchcrop between crops of wheat was made. As soon as the Wheat was off the stubble was work ed up and cowpeas seeded. They were turned tinder for the next wheat crop. This plan Increased the wheat rop four and one-third bushels on an average of five years. Where no cow peas were used the wheat yield stead ily ran down. Treatment For Thoroughpin.
