Two TSiisigs a Corn
Crib Must Do
The first thing that a corn
crib should ai'ford is thorough
ventilation to the stored grain.
To secure this, leave the sides
as open as possible, and divide
the crib into small bins.
TJic second tiling: tliit a corn
crib sh'mld ai'ford is putcction
from driiiitf rains and snows.
This ca.i be easily done by ex
tending the caves well down
over the tides.
Corn t's one of our lending
crops. So there. is no more im
portant building on the farm
than the corn crib. We can
help you build the right hind
of corn crib-i-help you with'
idea's, and supply you the ne
cessary materials. Call on us

At Hsmcs In Egypt.
The method ut serving light refnsh
i taents during un afternoon call iiinong
people In Egypt is somewhat peeir-.;u
and may not Lie generally known io
tho English people at home. A tray
Is brought In bearing one or more va
rieties of Jam or sweetmeats, a Hum
bor of glas-i's containing water and
spoons corresponding to the iiimilit-r
'jf guests present. As the tray .Is car
ried around each person takes one of
the spoons and. after helping liinixclf
' to a spoonful of Jam. places the used'
spoon In one of ihe glasses of water.
Svinetlnies biscuits and cakes are also
offered. The custom appeal's to be of
! ancient origin. It might bo thought
that one bowl or glass would sullice
for the 'ised spoons, but custom die
tntcs that each person must have a
separate glass In which to put th
used spoon. The glasses contain pure
Wiiter, which tho guests tuny drink
should they so desire. London Tit
lilts. Poison of the Centipede.
The centipede Is popularly supposed
to carry a sting on each foot, but I
have several t Ivies handled one after
1U head was removed without the
claws producing any result. It Is the
Gist pair of claws only that are ven
omous, being hollow and provided wltn
poison bags like u snake's fan. The
largest 1 ever saw was eleven Inches
In length, a grewsome creature. A U'e
from one of this size would most likely
have been fatal to a man In wak
health. The tarautnla. though bin pow
ers of offense are nothing like iboe
of the scorpion or centipede. K bow
over, a more unpopular character tn-in
either. The horror of thes large . pi
iters ontortali'ed by many p-ople -cujioiiH
ant unaccountable. I have
seen A'-diallau bushmen, who In ov
erydpy life scarcely seemed to under
stand dans't-r, turn wiilto as u sheet
Vt the sight of a small "trluhtelopc."
