Had this quiet professor, who had led a lonely life, been able to save out of his salary a sum as great as twenty-five thousand dollars? That »u the estimate of the value of the *state commonly made from the na ’ure of th# bequest. But when the 1 estate was inventoried and the admin istrator* made their reports to the probate court, a most amazing state of affairs was disclosed The quiet professor had amassed not $25,000. but a fortune a little in excess of $?e* «-i® hi* investments had been ' made with wisdom, most of them wer*- what are called quick assets. And one after another of his old fac ilty associates went about asking how hid It been possible for Professor Loomis to accumulate so large an es tate as that. It was known that he had inherited nothing and that, how ever the estate was gained by him, it was the result of his own savings or work.

The next time I saw him—a few 'ears later—he told me of McKinley's experience immediately following the pun.Mi-ation of the news that he had ' lost his fortune. Telegrams by the hundred poured in upon the governor. Many • amc from Democrats who were r.is bitter political enemies; many oth- • rs were sent by persons with whose j came* McKinley was not familiar; -nd and all offered financial assist ant e. almost every one urged him not ’o give up public life, and every one ! yf the dispatches—and the letters that soon began to flow In—assured him '• hat he stood high in the estimation jf the American people, and that his misfortune would speedily make that : fact apparent to him. "Several men of financial ability, as ’ is well known, undertook the manage meatof McKinley's affairs and financed 1 him out of bla embarrassment. Un doubtedly. many persons believe that 1 l was tbe action of these men that persuaded McKinley to remain In pub lic life. But it was not. and 1 have Mr. Kohlsaat'a word for it.

The postmaster of the United States during all that time was always none other than the postmaster gen eral. "But at one time during that pe riod, if it had not been for John C. Calhoun, the law which designated the postmaster general as the postmaster of the United States would have been regarded as a dead letter and treated accordingly. “A short time after Mr. Calhoun had resigned the vice-presidency of the United States and been elected senator from South Carolina—that was in 1832—he one day entered the office of the postmaster general. Amos Ken dall. Mr, Calhoun's long, dark-'-'hair was brushed straight back from his forehead; his eyes looked like two burning coals of fire. I was with Mr. Kendall; Mr. Calhoun spoke most courteously to me—he was courteous to everybody—and then turned to the postmaster general. “ ‘Mr. Postmaster General.' he said. I have just noticed a disposition to . make out Improperly commissions to those appointed to take charge of post offices throughout the country. Mr. Postmaster General, you are the oaly postmaster in the United States; your successor will be the only postmas ter; all men appointed to take Imme diate charge of the various postofflces throughout the country are, under the law. deputy postmasters, and nothing more. The man in charge of the postoffice at New York is a deputy po6tmaster; so is the man in charge of the postofflce at Philadelphia. Let us say that, probably by inadvertence, a commission has Just been made out appointing a man postmaster. 1 desire to have that corrected. No man un der the law can qualify or take charge of a postofflce under the designation of "postmaster.” Until now. so far ' as I know, no commission has been made out since I have been in public ! life by which any one has qualified to take charge of any postofflce in the country except under the title of “dep uty postmaster." And if it is possible for me to prevent it, no commission shall be made out in any other way.’ j “Mr. Kendall thanked the great Cal houn for calling the matter to his at- j tention. and assured him that all com- ! missions to appointees to take charge of poetofflces should be made out in strict accordance with the law; and that way they were made id every case, to my personal knowledge, as long as Calhoun lived. "Furthermore. I had ocasion not long ago to look over the records relating to the appointment of men to take | charge of postofflces. I found that as ; ' late as Gen. Grant’s second adminis tration the postmaster general was the sole postmaster of the United States, i all the so-called postmasters through out the country being set down in the | records as deputy postmasters. But i in Grant's second administration the I law was changed so it became legal j to drop the word ‘deputy,’ and the unique distinction that the postmaster general had enjoyed for nearly a cen tury of legally being the country's only postmaster was lost to him.” (Copyright. 1911. by E.

According to Writer in Outing Magazine. About thirty miles east of the canal zone, in an Irregular line, running from the Atlantic almost to the Pa rlSr. begins the habitation of the'most peculiar tribe of people. I believe, liv ing In the western hemisphere today. Their country comprises the numer ous. beautiful and fertile Islands along the Atlantic coast between Puer 1 to Bello and the Gulf of Craba, and extends inland, approximately divid ing the eastern end of the republic of Panama. Within this territory, civ tttsattoa has cast no lights nor shad ows. nor Introduced new customs, nor gathered tithes for the propagation of foreign superstitions, nor taxes for govern meats of questionable Integrity. These people still hunt with the bow sad arrow sad have the poisoned dart la reserve for their enemies. The attention of the writer was Orst attracted to this part of the Isth mus by rumors of unlimited game in the country and lurid pictures of gold, which is said virtually to “pave the beds of the streams." So. though it is known in all parts of the republic of Panama that the San Bias Indiana permit no strangers, white men par ticularly, within their territory, we decided to try to explore It anyway by traveling at night in mid-stream in cayucaa resembling their own and concealing ourselves in the jungle during the day.—From Outing.

For stables of ordinary width, the common and most satisfactory form of fresh air inlet is a sash at each stall hinged at the botton, opening inward, but with galvanized iron pieces attached to the sides of the window frame, so that the only air admitted has to take an upward course over the top of the sash, writes George F. Weston in the Coun try Gentleman. This prevents direct drafts. A piece of chain stapled to the top of the frame, with a beheaded wire nail projecting from the top of the sash, allows the window to be opened any number of links. The free edges of the metal side plates are turned upward so as to matte a stop that prevents the windows from fall ing open too wide. There is no system of ventilation that will automatically meet all con ditions of wind and weather, which at times will call for the closing of all windows to windward, and opening the main flue, and be screened with half-inch wire netting to keep out rats. AH main exhaust flues in a sta ble should also have two or the oppo site sides made with a door just below the ceiling, and two feet down, so that this can be opened up against the ceiling and take out all hot air In summer. Frequently the liay chutes can be so arranged as to serve also for exhaust flues by having a tight fitting door at the hay floor, which is only opened for feeding. They can be of galvanized iron as far up as the ceiling of stable, but in such a climate as Canada, where the upper space is much lower in temperature, should be of wood, and it may even pay to cover with a couple of layers of heavy building paper. It is well to remember that ven tilating flues only work when their air contents are at a higher temper ature than the outside air. This means that the air is expanded and is of Plan of Stable Showing Method of Ventilation—A, Inlets between ceil ing joists; B, Inlets on hay floor; C.Window inlets; D, Side section of double stall and exhaust flue; E, Back view, same; F, Exhaust flue and side connection; I, I, I, Location of passage Inlets. of those on the sheltered side a mere crack. In winter when the horses come in hot. and. in the case of work horses, cannot be rubbed quite dry. it will often save colds to keep every thing tight until they are dry and have cooled off. The stable shown in the illustration is an extra wide one. and to secure sufficient fresh air in lets for the central double row of horses, it may be necessary to make ducts from the outside to the open ings in the ceiling over the renter of each passage, about 14 by 20 inches, and marked I, I, I In the plan. These can be closed by a board, with pin sliding on bottom of inside. The eas iest way to make these ducts is to en close between two ceiling joists, or if this cannot be done, make as at B on hav floor above. The exhaust flues for a stable of this design should be three in num ber, about two feet six inches by one foot six inches, extending from bottom of manger clear to the roof. Each one connects with lateral flues below manger, so as to tap eight stalls, and the openings to each stall should increase in sire as they leave lesser weight than an equal column of the colder outside air. Finally there must be a material difference in tem perature. for the stable air is loaded with moisture and products of ani mal combustion. There have been cases in northern winters of the metal flues being almost entirely stopped by condensed moisture deposited as ice on the inside top end. The best re sults are secured from many small in lets, instead of the few larger ones, especially as to prevention of injuri ous drafts. Moisture condensed during cold weather is the cause of the corrosion of metal frames, and we suggest giv ing them a couple of coats of as phaltum paint over the interior sur face. especially on the sash bars. When of metal the expansion of these is so much greater than of the glass that it is impossible to get a perfect seal or seat between these and the glass, and as a result there have been put on the market many special forms of metal sash to remedy the trou ble of drip from condensed moisture. Under some conditions, cypress bars may be more durable than iron.

TO DESTROY GROUND HOGS _ May be Poisoned With Wheat Soaked In a Solution of Strychnine—Also Easy to Trap Them. (By WALTER B. LEUTZ.) Ground hogs may be poisoned with wheat soaked in a solution of strych nine, but they can easily be trapped at the entrance of their burrows. A better way is to soak a bit of moss or hay with biaulphate of carbon and place it well down into the burrow covering the entrance with a heavy cloth. The carbon being heavier than air it penetrates to the bottom of the burrow and kills the animals in stantly. Great care in handling bisulphate of carbon must be observed because it is a deadly poison and must never he Inhaled.

The turkey crop hatched previous to June 1 should attain good growth by the last of November, the cock birds reaching ten or twelve pounds. The turkey is not fully matured un til two years of age, and is In his prime at three years, and nearly as good at four years old. It is therefore a mistake t osell oft all the older birds and retain the young ones for breeding purposes. Young turkeys are of a delicate na ture until they are fully feathered |nd have thrown out the red on their heads, which usually occurs at about three months of age. After that they are hardy, and may be allowed unlim ited range at all times. Poultry in Ireland. Ireland Is the greatest poultry grow ing country in the world. It is far ahead of France, though we have al ways accepted the latter as the lead ing country In this Industry. Ireland, with a population of not quite 5,000 000. has 14.000.000 fowls; while France, with a population seven times greater, has only 10.000.000. ^ EXPLANATION. “Honest, Mr. bird, 1 only came up here for the view!” HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN “About two months ago my hands started to crack open and bleed, the skin would scale off, and the good flesh would burn and itch dreadfully. When my hands first started to get sore, there were small blisters like wa ter blisters which formed. They Itched dreadfully, It just seemed a3 though I could tear the skin all off. I would scratch them and the skin would ■ peel off, and the flesh would be all j red and crack open and bleed. It wor- 1 ried me very much, as I had never had anything the matter with my skin. I was so afraid I would have to give up my employment. “My doctor said he didn't think it would amount to anything. But it kept getting worse. One day I saw a piece in one of the papers about a lady who had the same trouble with her hanjis. She had used Cuticura Soap and Oint ment and was cured. I decided to try them, and my hands were all healed before I had used one cake of Cuti cura Ointment. I am truly thankful for the good results from the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them l was cured, and did not have to lose a day from work.
