Down In the hold Is the torture chamber, called the "bilboes" or necklets, where refractory pris oners were Jacked up against a .beam with an Iron bracelet around the neck and another pair around the ankles. This punishment proved an Infallible means of breaking the spirit of the most unruly prisoner. Total darkness and the pitching and heaving In the heavy seas as the sailing vessel plowed her way through the turbulent waters added a good deal to the discomfort of the unfortunates who were sentenced to the "bilboes." The "Success" is now used as a museum. STRIPPED BY LIGHTNING Lightning played a curlouB prnnk.

Each night a powerful' hydraulic plant Is at work, washing away a thousand oubto yards of "dirt." The object of this strange proceeding la twofold, constating of the terracing of tho hill and the filling up of tho old river channel. The wa ter is turned on at 8 p. m. each day, and the wearing away of tho hilt pro ceeds steadily for ten. hours. The work can only be done at night, as the city declined to grant permission for the use of tho necessary water in the daytime, In caso the drain on the sup ply during the busy part of the 24 hours should prove too great. The wa' tor, uuder high pressure, Is discharged against tho sides of the bill through a hydraulic "giant," such as Is used In placer mining. It Is estimated that 90 days will bo required to complete the task, which involves tho displace mont of 110,000 cubic yards of "dirt." Ofp.lned In tho first place from a six inch main, tho water Is forced though tho noztle at a pressure of 200 pounds by tho ubo of a two-stage centrifugal pump driven by a 100 horsepower electric motor. KILLS WHITE MOOSE A pure whlto moose was killed In tho northwest on Kenal Peninsula, Alaska, by a trapper, Ezra Hlgglns, some days ago. Tho skin and head arrived at Seattle, Wash., the other day, on tho steamship Northland from Cordova, Alaska. Tho fate of the white moose was closely guarded In Alaska, and tho story not mado public until after tho Northland left Cordova. The Thlinket Indians cherish an old tradition that this, or a Blmllar white moose, was tho spirit of an Indian maiden, tho daughter of a beloved chief. One winter day tho girl left the village for a vlslHo another and became bewildered In a blizzurd and was never seen again. After the great Btorm had passed over, searching par ties went into the ravines of Kenal Peninsula to search for the maiden. When In the woods a beautiful snow white moose sprang out of a thicket and dashed away. Year after year tho Indians have worshiped tho albino mooso and, from timo to time the ani mal has been seen. Now that an albino moose has been killed tho In dians will miss it unless, as many hunters think, there are several In that section. ,NEST OF THE STICKLEBACK Dy thoso who do not know It ,1s too often assumed that fishes aro stupid and devoid of all parental Instinct. This Is by no means tho case. The stickleback, for Instance, build a nest which, In tho case of the sea-stickleback, Is mado of a mass of pendant sea weeds held together In a pear shaped form by a sllk-ltko thread. The eggs aro laid In tho center of this nnd tho malo parent will guard them for weeks, repairing nny harm dono to tho nest. Tho ten-Bplned Itlckle- back does not make Its nest In the mud, but attaches It, at a height, to water plants. The male makes a rounded bundle of fine weeds and at taches this to the plant. Then ho burrows Into tho bundle, aud having got insldo It, turns about until the nest has taken tho form of a muff. The cattish has been known to mako a nest In nn old stovepipe and In an old sack. With those AbIiob which show an Interest In their offspring It Is the malo which takes tho chief part, build ing tho nest, guarding tho eggs, pro tectlng and bringing up tho young. OWL PLAYS THE PIANO Hearing tho. notes of his piano struck first up tho keys and then dowu, Ernest Lemmy of St. Paul's road, Peterborough, peeped through the open door and discovered that the player waB his pet owL. Tho owl would step on a key and then listen attentively to the sound. It tried another and another, and seemed highly pleased with the noise It was making. When it got to tho upper end of the piano and found It was only the black and white keys which sounded, It started back again and sounded all the notes until It reached tho last in the bass. :London Mall. FORTUNE OITTJDF REVENGE The romance of a fortune that was made out of revenge la recalled In New York by the death of Mr. E. S. Welles, the Inventor of a world-famous rat poison. When Mr. Welles and the man with whom he then worked were Hying In poverty, and had only a sin gle loaf of bread between them and starvation, this last morsel of food was eaten by rats. Welles sworo von geanoc, and set about discovering a means to rid the world of rats. After numorous experiments be bogan the manufacture of "Hough on Rats" In an old barn in Jersey City, and In four years he rose to affluence.

Other Prefer Pole Llmaa on Ac count of Quality, Quantity and Season of Profitable Bearing Also Large. A writer says that both bush and lima beans aro nioro satisfactory and easier to grow than the pole llmas. Now, every one for his choice, but we prefer tho polo llmas every time for quality, quantity and long season of profltablo bearing, says a writer In an exchange. It Is true that setting poles for plants to vino on requires nioro work than when no poles are used, but tho results raoro than pay for all tho work.

Lay off rows, both ways, about four feet apart and plant threo seeds to tho hill at tho crossing of the rowB. Cultivate young lima beans as for other garden plants, keeping tho sur faco clean, flno and level. Allow no weeds to grow closo to the cultivated plants, as llmas will not thrive In the presence of strange company. Soma peoplo to reduco labor plant corn or sunflower In tho saino hill with polo lima beans for the vines to climb. This la a gravo mistake, for two good plants cannot grow in a placo where there Is room enough for only one. A Hamper of Pole Lima Beans. poor bean crop always results from this method, as ono good, old gar dener puts it, "It Is tho lazy man's way of gardening." We polo our beans with round poles about eight feet long and tho thick ness of one's wrist. Thoy arojjot ono pole to each hill and. tho four poles form a squaro brought together and tied with common binder twlno, about nine feet from tho ground. This gives a wigwam frame with firm, broad base and so substantial that no ordinary Btorm will blow it over. Almost all other members of tho bean family aro quick maturing plants and tho llfo of tho crop covers only a part of tho growing season. Not so with polo lima beans; they are rather slow growing. It requires nearly ninety days for the vines to fully mature' and come into heavy bearing, nut after the vinos begin to bear they contlnuo to produce bios Boms and fruit all through tho re mainder of tho growing season, so long as the green beans are regularly picked and moro allowed to ripen, providing there Is sufficient molsturo In tho soil to sustain growth. Keep ing out all weeds and graBS and keep ing tho surfaco raked loose and flno will help to conserve Boll molsturo at dry times. A light soverlng of straw on the 'surface will also help to con serve soil moisture during August and September, when rains are often infrequent .and evaporation great. ADVANTAGES OF DAIRY FARM Increases Productivity of 8oll, In sures Monthly Income and Even Distributes Labor. Prof. P. L. Kent, of the dairy hus bandry department of tho Oregon Agricultural college, states as .follows the advantages of dairy farming in the Oregon Countryman, a monthly magazine published by tho Btudenta at O. A. C: "Brlofly stated, the advantages of dairy farming are: Increasing pro ductivity of the soil, a regular month ly income putting tho business on a cash basis, a better distribution of the labor of the farm than is pos sible under a single crop system, and supplying a product for tho market, all of which should be of the highest grade and for which there is always a ready sale."

They have been cared for so attentively for con turleB that they quit making any effort to caro for themselves. Tho man who la not willing to give them this caro is unfit to bo a sheep man. It re quires gentleness, for they are meek and helpless. Our advlco is to go slow with sheep. By all means, raise sheep.

That whllo linseed meal sometimes glvcB very excellent results, yet on tho whole other preparations are to bo pre ferred, says Hoard's Dairyman. Corn, barley, onts and bran are recommend ed for this purpose. With tho young calf a mixture of low grade flour, sieved ground oats, cornmcal or Hn. seed oil meal mado Into a Jelly by boiling, continuing such focd for two or threo weeks, whllo tho stomach Is small nnd incapablo of utilizing coaraor feeds, Is suggested. As soon as possible, however, chango to wholo corn or wholo oats with or without a llttlo oil meal fed dry. Among other mixtures proposed Is ono consisting of 20 pounds of com ment, 20 pounds of oatmeal, 20 pounds of oilmeal, 10 pounds of bloodmeal, 5 pounds of bonemeal. Chango to corn, oats and bran when calves are threo months old. A llttlo of the bloodmeal as a part of tho dairy ra tion Is very frequently recommended. It seems to have in somo way a tonlo effect, and is also claimed to be both a preventive and a euro for call scourB. iramaror Straw and hay mako good nesting material. Keep your breeders healthy and do ing well. On tho farm you should keep util ity uppermost. . Shado for tho chickens is very im portant in hot weather. No ono can foretell tho sex of tho chicks whilo stlir in tho egg. Keep tho egg pan in the coolest place you can find about tho farm. May-hatched chicks, properly grown, make profitable fowls the coming win ter." Sickness and lice aro scarce articles where poultry quarters aro kept dry and clean. Begin early to work up a trade in broilers. The market nover will be overstocked. The working hours of the poultry man extend from early till late; there aro no holidays. As a rulo hens that lay steadily during cold weather are indifferent hot weather layers. Little chicks need a feeding coop where thoy can eat in peace away from tho older fowls. Hardiness does not go by color of plumage. Hardiness depends supon tho caro given to fowlB. All eggs should bo tested by the seventh day, which often makes it pos sible to reset somo of tho hens. A quiet, gcntlo hen with tho mother Instinct strongly developed, is worth money in tho chicken business, ,- If your flock is properly managed and cared for thero will bo little or no uso of medicine's and tonics.
