iy all these children know practically
everything that it is necessary to

books, the "little busy bee’ is sup

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. Miss Emma V

She finally became equipped wit,b all
the know'edge of the bee from the
days ot mytho'ngv and fo'k lore'down
to the latest invention in commercial

An apiarist was wanted at the Pronx

were men
Hut Miss Haggerty did not get the
place, as somebody, who probably did
not know the difference between a bee
and a bookworm, ruled that she was
ineligible because she was a woman
So instead ol going to the zoo Miss
Haggerty came back to Manhattan to
teach, and got a place in school 130
They had nature work there, of
course, according to rule, but with
more work than nature about it. Miss
Haggerty was lonesome without Uer

Not Citizen, But Voted.
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.
Railey has always believed that he
was born in Boston. Instead he learns
that he was born in Ireland, where his
parents lived prior to coming to this
country.

Denver, Col.—It has just become
known that Charles W. Bennett, a
wealthy man of Binghamton. N. Y..
who died recently, willed $200,000 to
J. W. Casey of this city as a reward
for saving his life 30 years ago.
Casey is the proprietor of a laundry
here and is comfortably well off. Casey
and Bennett were school chums in
Binghamton. The former, who was
an expert swimmer, rescued Bennett
from drowning in the Susquehanna
river.
Bennett then told his companion
that he would ever remember his
heroic act.

| Squab Trust in Formation
_ 4b—___
Higher Prices Expected When Big
Breeders Finally Agree on Plan
of Consolidation.
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.

Tested on English Soldiers Shows
Loss of Strength.
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.

Outwit a Horse Sharper
Did you ever find a lemon in a horse’s nose? How and why did it get there? Did the
last horse you bought go incurably lame the next day ? Do you know why ? Why
were his ears tied together with a fine silken thread? Perhaps you are about to buy a ^
horse because you like his “ ginger ” ? Are you sure it is health and high spirits, or IS |
it ginger—commercial ginger? Are you sure you could tell the age of a horse by its
teeth ? Cr would your experience be like that other man’s, who paid $3500 for a 17s
year-old horse, thinking he was buying a 7=year=old ? The horse had been “ Bishoped.”
