Like nany ol ber » schno'mates. sbe is determined to keep bees, on a city root ll sbe can. and it not mere, in the country. At the youthlui grammar school age near iy all these children know practically everything that it is necessary to know about bees and the production of honey to go <nio the business, to say nothing about all those moral qualities that, according to the school books, the "little busy bee’ is sup posed to nstili This practical addition to the work of the school, the only school of the city that has anytihng of the sort, is due to (be enthusiasm of one of the young women teacners.

Boston. Mass—After being a voter in the town of Leominster lor 36 years, many of which he served the town as selectman. John J. Railey. a veteran of the civil war. discovered the other day that he is not a citizen of the United States, and as a result is hurrying to take out naturalization papers.

New York.—3quabs are going into a trust. That's the latest pill for the consumer. The squab has grown to be a commerctal factor. Five years ago a couple of youug Philadelphians took up squab raising as a business, and they were looked upon as cranks. Now they are on the road to be million alre^. The growers chip directly to hotels or markets. The Waldori alone averages 300 squabs a day. It is planned to cbaage all that. Agents are out amcng the squab raisers negotiat ing lor contracts. The chances are tie squab trust will be a tning or to morrow. The plan is to have every sruab entering New York pass through the baads ci a single man. The trust will be concentrated to mm. The latest squab :arm in the coun try has 175.000 pairs of parent birds. This gives 175,000 squabs a year, which are sold at about 30 cents apiece, or $52,000 in all. Then there is an in come from old breeders weeded out | and sold for pigeon shoots at 35 cents a pair. The big shoot in Floiida a cou ple of months ago cleared all the Phil adelphia squab farms of old birds. The pigeons breed for flve years, and by that time make tough targets for the expert trap shooter. The squab business is expanding wonderfully. One farm is planned to breed lOO.vOO pairs. The railroads now carry grain it carload lots to the farms. Squabs mean a saving of game, as they go now instead of game birds at nine ban quets out of ten. There <s all the pos sibility in them for a tidy little trust One of these days when your squab jumps suddenly in price, know that the squab trust is in being. Attractive Innocence.

Tweryty Men of North Lancashire Regi ment Undergo Experiment of Two Weeks to Demonstrate Its Good Qualities. London.—Twenty men of the North Lancashire regiment have just under gone a test for two weeks to prove the sustaining power of limited rations The men have marched for a fort night on Salisbury plain under service conditions, carrying rifle and bayo net with 150 rounds of ammunition They have covered 160 and 170 miles of hard marching, mostly in bad weather, sleeping under canvas, and cooking their own meals. No special selection of men was made, as the purpose of the test was to ascertain the effect of a strict and limited diet on an average batch of soldiers varying in height, weight and chest measurement. For the first week canned rations alone were is sued. Some of the men put on weight others lost flesh. In every case tha effect of canned rations on the capari ty for marching was bad. leaving th men without energy or the desire to do more than endure existence. Durirg the second week the ordi nary service rations were issued, con sisting of one and one fourth pound* Iresh meat, or one pound nominal pre served meat, or one round salt meat; one and one-fourth pounds bread, or one pound biscuit, or one pound flour five-eights ounce tea; one-thirty-sixth ounce pepper: one-fourth pound iam two ounces sugar; one-haif ounce salt; • ne-half pound fresh or four ounces preserved vegetables. On this; the men marched from 1-1 to 20 mi es a day. and began again to enjoy life, and gave evidence of returning energy t» playing lootbali and hockey alter the march Reer, spirits, and cigarettes were withheld during the first week, bin for the second week two ounces of tobacco was issued to each smoker It was noted that, as usual, in the absence of Iresh vegetab'es, the tnen developed a craving for sugar and jam. The loss of alcohol was not lelt so keenly as the loss of cigarets by those .vhe were in the habit of using them Daily, before and after the march, measurements and tests were taken lor pulse, blood, and pressure, and gen eral condition, the men being ques tioned as to how they felt generally. The conclusion arrived at is that ilia rations are on the light side, but there is no doubt as to the splendid condi tion of the men. The canned ration weighed seven and one-half ounces, divided in three sn ail tins. The breaklast tin consists of a mixture of caked egg, fish and bread; dinner, caked meat, egg, fish, oatmeal and fat; supper, caked cheese, tgg and meat. In addition to this a small biscuit was served. At the end of two weeks the average loss in weight a man was five pounds, ai.d the average loss in chest measure nient one inch. None fell out except one man, who was sick after eating some nightshade berries, and was car ried for half of one day's march. GETS NAME ON “JAG LIST” Unoffending Citizen Canmt Recover Damages from "Jag Board,” Rules Jersey Court. Woodbury, N J.—Even If a fellow takes an occasional drink, and never, never gets a "souse." be cannot get redress if the "jag board" puts him on tb? list as one to he "flagged ” That was the ruling of Circuit Judge Lloyd in the somewhat celebrated suit of James A Johnson of Glassboro to re cover SlO.Oi'O damages to dis personal character resulting from having his name placed on the list of the Frank lin township board of protectors, as the law ca'ls ihe “jag board." Judge Lloyd nonsuited Johnson on the ground that the board bad shown no malice In listing him and tha. ended the case. Johnson, who is a vestryman in the Episcopal church at Glassboro. testi fied that when he discovered last July that bis name was on the list of the "jag hoard" he entered protest, but get no satisfaction. He therefore brought suit against the three mem bers ol the board. George Letts, W B. N chols and William Marsh. He said be1 seldom took a drink and could not understand why bis name should be posted in a bar as one who could not he' trusted to walk home perfectly straight. Hotel Keeper Finger testified that Johnson's name bad been given him with others, but that be kept the list under the bar and only casually men tioned that of Johnson. It is said that counsel for Johnson will appeal the de cision of Judge Lloyd. The municipality of Petersborougb. England, has enriched its treasury perceptibly by engaging in the celery business.
