When the new minister made his first pastoral call at the Brownings he took little Anna on his knee and asked her if she had a kiss for him. But the little girl refused to kiss or be kissed. She squirmed loose and ran into the next room, w here her mother was put ting a few finishing touches to her adornment before going into the draw ing room to greet the clergyman. "Mamma," the little girl whispered. • the man in the drawing room wanted me to kiss him.” “Well,” replied mamma, “why didn't you let him? I would if I was you.” Thereupon Anna ran back into the drawing room, and the minister asked: "Well, little lady, won’t you kiss me now?” "No, I won't," replied Anna, prompt ly, "but mamma says she will.” Long-Lived Tnglish Family. Five brothers and sisters, named Harris, whose united ages total 438 years, met at a birthday party at Rad nage, Bucks, England. Their ages are ninety-six. ninety-two, eighty-eight, eighty-two and eighty, an average of more than eighty-seven. Five other members of the same family, who have died, were aged ninety-three, eighty nine, eighty-eight, eighty-seven and seventy-seven. Family Pride.

The maximum difference in eleva tion of land in the United States is 14,777 feet, according to the United States geological survey. Mount Whitney, the highest point, is 14,501 feet above sea level, and a point in Death Valley is 27G feet below sea level. These two points, which are both in California, are less than nine ty miles apart. This difference is small, however, as compared with the figures for Asia. Mount Everest rises 29.002 feet above sea level, whereas the shores of the Dead sea are 1,290 feet below sea level, a total difference in land heights of 30,292 feet. Mount Everest has never been climbed. The greatest ocean depth yet found is 32,088 feet, at a point about fifty miles north of the Island ‘ of Mindanao, in the Philippine islands. The ocean bottom at this point is therefore more than eleven and a half miles below the summit of Mount Everest. Flour of Another Color.

CLOUDED BRAIN Clears Up on Change tp Proper Food. The brain cannot work with clear ness and accuracy, if the food taken is not fully digested, but is retained in the stomach to ferment and form poisonous gases, etc. A dull, clouded brain is likely to be the result. A Mich, lady relates her experience in changing her food habits, and re sults are very interesting: “A steady diet of rich, greasy foods such as sausage, buckwheat cakes and so on, finally broke down a stomach and nerves that, by inheritance, were sound and strong, and medicine did no apparent good in the way of relief. “My brain was clouded and dull and I was suffering from a case of constl i pation that defied all remedies used. “The 'Road to WellviUc,’ in some providential way, fell into my hands, and may Heaven’s richest blessings ! fall on the man w ho was inspired to write it. “I followed directions carefully, the ! physical culture and all. using Grape Nuts with sugar and cream, leaving meat, pastry and hot biscuit entirely ont of my bill of fare.

BEST ROMM Parisian Engineers Seem to Have Arrived at a Solution of Knotty Problem. ALLOW FOR VARIOUS SPEEDS Three Tracks, Each Reserved Solely for Its Special Traffic, Does Away With Congestion So Keenly Felt in the Large Cities. It Is not generally realized how enormous i3 the loss incurred every year in and about large cities by the congestion of road traffic. Even the cost of living, so much in the air at the present time, is becoming increas ingly dependent upon the cheap and easy transport of merchandise. Since It is the various speeds which apparently produce the undesirable feature of congrestion it would appear that a remedy must iie in the estab lishment of #parate roads or tracks for each class of vehicle. To come to practical application of the special track principle a good ex ample is the Avenue des Champs-Ely sees in Parts. The arrangement here t_ - ’ t Dimensioned Cross Sections of Roads, Showing Methods of Distributing Fast and Slow Traffic. is shown in the illustration. A center track 18.5 feet wide is reserved solely for the use of automobSes traveling in either direction. On each side is a slightly narrower track 16 feet in width for slower traffic, each direction keeping to its own side. Such a road requires a minimum tc«il width of 53 feet, but where this i£ available no better arrangement could be adopted. A point of some importance brought out by the division of the road into special classes is that of simplifying the problems of the road engineer. It is well known that one of the great est obstacles to the correct construc tion of roads has been the necessity of providing a surface that would be suitable alike to the fast rubber tired vehicle and the iron shod hoofs and iron tired wheels of the horse drawn. By confining each class to a special track the surface can be made to suit the requirements of that class. With the advent of the automobile the old type of water bound macadam road was found inadequate owing to the dust. The dust had always been present, the pounding of the horse be ing in a large measure responsible, but the rubber tire of the automobile raised it to the standing of a nuisance. During the past decade efforts have been made to reduce dust by the ap plication of various sprinkling me diums, oil being the most successful. But it was soon found that the real solution lay in the entire construc tion of the road. This has brought about the bituminous road which is more nearly perfect with regard to dust prevention than any previous con structions. In this type of road, which is grow ing rapidly in favor, the various lay ers composing it are bound into a solid mass by the application of a tar or oil asphalt preparation.—The Automobile. Home on a Blow-out. “A car can always be driven home on a blown-out casing if an extra tube is carried, and on a punctured casing, even if no extra tube is in the car, if the driver knows the trick,” says an auto dealer. “Suppose the shoe has been blown out and there is an extra tube aboard but no blow-out patch or shoe is in the kit. Burlap can be secured without much trouble. Inflate the tube par tially, wrap the burlap, cut into strings, around it fairly tight and mount the tube and casing in the usual way. Burlap is tough and hard to cut and it usually will get you home. “But if you happen to be caught without an extra tube and you get a puncture or blow-out you don't have to go home on a flat casing and rim cut it. Take the casing off and pack it full of rags, newspapers, hay, straw, beans, oats—anything you can get that will answer the purpose. The idea, of course, is to get something into the casing that will substitute for air and hold the casing in fairly good shape until you can get to a repair shop or a supply station. I think it pays to know things like this, because they not only save a man money, but a lot of trouble on the road.” • Honest Motor “Vet.” A good tale from Irleand is about an honest motor expert who was asked to “vet” a second-hand car in a gar age. He went to the place, walked round the car, and then took hold of the body and shook it. The result of this practical treatment was a' most appalling rattle. Whereupon, says the Autocar, the motor vet turned to the proprietor of the garage with some alarm on his countenance and said: “Come here and hold this old car; I am sure it wiil fall down if I let go." HAS PROFITED FARMER AGRICULTURIST OWES DEBT OF GRATITUDE TO THE AUTO. By Its Use He Is in Closer Touch . With the World and His Posi tion Is Improved. The automobile more than any oth er one thing has been the means ol bringing the farmer in closes touch with the outside world, writes Joha N. Willys. This point I am sure will be conceded by the most biased people. Before the coming of the motor car it was a common occurrence for a farm er and his family, living 20 or 30 miles from the raiiroad, to spend theii entire lives cooped up in their own little circle, with little or no knowl edge of the big things going on all around them. Today we find the farmer a bigger factor than ever before in the history of the world. He is no longer look ed upon as a mere producer of food stuffs necessary for the general wel fare of the country, but as an import ant citizen to whom we owe the lion’s share of our great prosperity. And the automobile is largely re sponsible Tor the present high stand ing of the farmer. With it he can get into the big cities, where he can see and find out what other people are doing and keep pace with their prog ress. There is. too, another angle that must not be overlooked, and that is that the automobile is a source of pleasure for the farmer's entire fami ly. We all appreciate a change of scenery once in a while, and the gen eral atmosphere and customs of the city people are as interesting to the farmer and his family as the open farm country is to city folks. By traveling about more and more and rubbing shoulders with the differ ent people, the farmer has acquired a vast amount of knowledge. He has broadened his perspective and learned by experience that he can combine a little pleasure with the routine work of the farm and still accomplish as much in net results as before. Here again you find the automobile the best suited both from an economical and practical standpoint. The farmer has also developed into the shrewdest kind of a buyer—ma chinery and automobiles in particular. The modern American farmer can ask more intelligent questions relating to the construction and operation of an automobile than any man I know of, and what is still more to the point, he understands and remembers a thing when you tell it to him. HOLDS COVER IN ITS PLACE Device Prevents Rattling, and There fore Materially Aids in Preser vation of the Fabric. This device is both a top holding and bow separating contrivance. The standard type is in black rubber, enamel finish with lug for at taching to body iron. It may be attached to apy make of car. It does not interfere with the fitting of the slip cover and its use eliminates all rattling and the possibility of torn fabric through continued friction. Three bow holders cost $3.25, four-bow. $3.50 and five-bow $3.75. A cheaper farm costs $2.50 in four-bow size.—Motor. “Don’t Go Mileage Mad." This is the safe and sane advice given truck owners by O. C. Swander, manager of a tire and rubber com pany. There is nc question that the major ity of truck owners of all classes are more or Sess subject to this kind of “madness.” They are ever calling for more and more mileage, and do not re alize that this mileage, beyond a cer tain point, must incur losses to pay for the gain. A tire to give mileage must be tough and unusually strong. The less pure rubber there is in a tire, naturally the less resiliency there is. The less resiliency, the less capable are the tires of taking up the vibra tion of road shock and the sidewise vibration which is increased rather than decreased by the springs of the truck. The more strain there is, just that much more strain is there cn the mechanism of the truck. Mileage may be sought for, but should not be obtained by using a tire which is so far worn down as to be unresilient enough to cause the driving mechan ism to suffer. Top Down on Rough Roads. Most motorists who do much coun try driving notice the car rides better, over a rough read, with the extension top folded back. But it i3 a mistaken idea to believe that this better riding is due entirely to the lessened air re sistance. The top of an automobile has con siderable weight, as every man knows who has ever raised one without the aid of a second party. When the top is up, this weight is carried far above the center of gravity. This tends, of course, to intensify the rock of the car as it passes over rough stretches. With the top folded back and strapped down, its weight is carried lower and in more compact form. It is also carried at a point far enough to the rear to serve to steady the mo tion of the body when the car is un der way. Bad Practice. It Is bad practice to fasten a li cense tag to the radiator filler, unless the lower portion of the tag is braced against the radiator frame. A very slight knoek on the lower end of the tag is liable to tear the base of the filler from its fastening on top of the radiator, owing to the leverage through which the force acts. Form Two of a Kind. Facts are stubborn things; almost as stubborn as the people who don’t believe them. * No One Interferes in the Affairs of Another. Remarkable Trait of Burmese Charae ter le Their Unwillingness to In terfere in Other People’s Busi ness—Each Acts for Self. London.—A remarkable trait of the Burmese character is their unwilling ness to interfere in other people’s affairs. Whether it arises from their religion of self-culture or no, I cannot say, but it is in full keeping with It. Every man's acts and thoughts are hhi own affair, think the Burmans; each man is free to go his own way, to think his own thoughts, to act his own acts, as long as he does not too much annoy his neighbors. Each man is responsible for himself and for him self alone, and there is no need for him to try and be guardian also to hts fellows. And so the Burman likes to go his own way, to be a free man within certain limits; and the freedom that he den^nds for himself he will extend also to his neighbors. He has a very great and wide tolerance to ward all his neighbors, not thinking It necessary to disapprove of his neigh bors’ acts because they may not be the same as his own, never thinking it necessary to Interfere with his neighbors as long as the laws are not broken. Our idea that what habits are dif ferent 10 our habits must be wrong, and being wrong require correction at our hands, is very far ' from his thoughts. He never desires to inter fere with anyone. Certain as he is that his own ideas are best, he is con tented with that knowledge, and is not ceaselessly desirous of proving it upon other people. And so a foreigner may go and live In a Burman village, may settle down th?re and live his own life and follow his own customs in perfect freedom; may dress and eat and drink and pray and die as he likes. No one will in terfere. No one will try and correct him; no one will be forever insisting to him that he is an outcast, either from civilization of from religion. The people will accept him for what he is and leave the matter there. If he likes to change his ways and conform to Burmese habits and Buddhist forms. Typical Burmese Architecture. so much the better; but if not, never mind. It is, I think, a great deal owing to this habit of mind that the manners of the Burmese are usually so good, children in civilization as th<^- are. There is among them no rude inquisi tiveness and no desire to in any way circumscribe your freedom by either remark or act. Surely of all things that cause trouble nothing is so com mon among us as the interference with each other’s ways, as the need less giving of advice It seems to each of us that we are responsible not only for ourselves, but also for every one else near us; and so if we disapprove of any act we are always in a hurry to express our disapproval and to try and persuade the actor to our way of thinking. We are forever thinking of others and trying to improve them; is a nation we try to coerce weaker nations and to convert stronger ones, and as individuals we do the same. We are sure that other people cannot but be better and happier for being brought into our ways of thinking, by force even, if necessary. We call it philanthropy. CLOCK SAVES LIFE OF YOUTH Sound of Alarm at Unusual Hour Leads Rescuer to Intended Sui cide Just in Time. New York.—An alarm clock, which began a long-continued ringing at the unusual hour of 6:30 in the evening in one of the rooms occupied by Meyer Berman and hia sen, Michael, at 119 Forsyth street, caused Max Rubin, a tenant, to investigate. Rubin found the son lying semi-conscious on the floor with a gas stove tube in hia mouth. Rubin gave the alarm, and a policeman restored the youth to con sciousness quickly. Young Berman told Detectives Wood and Spiro on the way to the Clinton street police station that he had been out of work two months and hungry two days. His story was overheard by a man in a restaurant, to which the detectives took him for a meal. The stranger said he was Philip J. Abrams, proprietor of a hotel in Tan nersville, and that he would take the young man there to give him a posi tion for the summer. RAISE THE STANDARD OF HORSES ON FARM Seven-Year-Old Percnerons. (3y A S. ALEXANDER.) While some farmers are beginning to appreciate the importance of using sound, pure-bred stallions, the equal importance of using sound mares is not yet generally understood. When a mare by reason of unsoundness is no longer flt for anything else, she is often set aside for breeding purposes and so long as this absurd and ruin ous policy persists, the penalty will be paid in the prevalence of unsound horses on our farms. For corrobora tion of this, one has only to examine the brood mares on a number of farms. The unsound mares will be found numerous and many of their adult offspring are similarly affected. The following letters from farmers will help to demonstrate the lack of comprehension of the principles of horse breeding. “I have a thirteen-year-old mare that has a knocked down hip, the heaves Pure-Bred .Stallions Doing Farm Work. Every Stallion Should Be Capa ble of Doing the Work That Will Be Required of His Offspring. and she is lame. Would it be all right to breed from her?” “I have three mares, the oldest ten and the youngest four which have been breeding since spring. The one ten years old has the heaves, is moon blind in one eye, and has a discharge from the nose. Her hind legs stalk up if she stands in the stable over night; she is wormy, very bad at times. Have had her two years but have never done anything for her. She had a colt which died with blind staggers at ten days of age. In hot weather it bothers her to breathe. Would you breed her again if you were in my place?” “Can you tell me what ails this mare? Bay filly three years old, un broken and always well kept. Became stiff in hind legs last winter and after awhile got the same way in front legs and at present is so stiff she can’t lie down. Straddles wide both in front and behind when she walks. Her knees are bowed backward. Eats well. Would she do to breed from?" Emphatically, NO! The following suggestions may be outlined for the guidance of farmers in conducting thier horse breeding operations. Commence grading up the farm horse stock by mating carefully se lected, muscular, pure-bred registered stallions. Continue year after year to use the best obtainable pure-bred males of the character and breed first chosen and never out-cross to any other breed. Do not use any stallion that is un sound, unsuitable, partially impotent unlicensed or not registered in a stud book recpgnized by the department of agriculture, Washington, D. C. Do not breed from any mare that is deformed, sick, disesed, unsound, un suitable, a poor milker, or a cross mother. Properly feed, shelter and care for the pregnant and nursing mares and from birth until ready for market, nourish their offspring in such a way as to prevent stunting and insure per fect development. Encourage the working of pure bred stallions sufficient to keep them healthy, muscular, prepotent and pre vent pampering, weakness, partial im potence and actual sterility and so tend to insure vigor, Etrong constitu tion and health in their offspring at birth and throughout life. As soon as possible stop working scrub horses on the farm and in their place use grade horses of good quality and character, well fed, properly groomed, furnished with attractive, nicely kept harness and hitched to modern implements, wagons and car riages. Organize township and county asso . ciations for community breeding of i horses of the same blood, character and quality and to more readily ob i tain pure-bred stallions and mares and insure a profitable market for I surplus horses. Encourage representative exhibits at the county fairs, of pure-bred stal lions and mares ■ and grade mares, gelding, farm teams, and young stock by pure bred sires. Discourage the | offering of classes and premiums for j grades and mongrel or scrub stallions I or thier progeny. Boost for the betterment of the ; horse breeding industry and do noth ' ing to retard its progress. FEED FOR WORK TEAM IN SUMMER — Bad Management to Stuff Horses During Idle Season and Starve Them Later. One of the worst mistakes a farmer can make is to feed heavily during the winter season, when work is slack, and to fead slightly i summer when work continues all day and every day. Only last week, says a writer in an exchange, I saw a team owned by a young, but at the same time rather opinionated farmer. This team was fed during the winter sea son all the grain and forage they would consume. As the season advanced the price of grain and hay became higher. Money might have been a little tight --perhaps, at any rate feed was sold that should have been kept. The working season arrived. Crops must be put in and cultivated, feed was short, and the teams suffered. When I saw them they were living skeletons, and depreciated 75 per cent, so far as cash value was con cerned. This seems to me to be mighty poor management stuffing your work horses in the idle season and starving them at the very time that they need the best carfe. Just think a moment, dear farmer, of the plentiful food that the wom en-folk prepare for you three times daily, and most especially during the harvest season, and then imagine how the horse must feel that pulls a plow, binder, mower or wagon, all day, and on insufficient feed! There is no economy, or even busi ness sense in feeding sparingly dur ing the long, hot and busy summer season. A pair of strong, fell-fed and well-kept horses or mules will do the work of any four head of half-starved ones you can pick up. Rye for the Silo. Rye may be cut for the silo when it is in blossom and the most advanced heads are in the dough. Stimulant for Flowers. Weak liquid manure is just the stimulant most floweTs need when they bloom. Do not stint them in this respect. Injurious 4o Cows. No breed cf dairy cows can continue as first-class dairy animals if the calves are allowed to run with the cows. Aid to Flowers. Another aid to profusion of flowers is plenty of water. • l COST OF RAISING AMERICAN HORSE Average Is Found to Be $104.06 for United States—Inter esting Figures. Reports have been received from about 10,000 correspondents of the bureau of statistics of the depart ment of agriculture upon the cost of raising colts to the age of three years. The average for the United States is found to be $104.06; or, if we deduct the value of work done by the horse before he has passed his third year, namely, $7.52, the net cost is $96.54; this is 70.9 per cent, of the selling value of such horses. $136.17. The cost varies widely by states, from an average of $69.50 for New Mexico, $71.59 for Wyoming, and $82.47 for Texas, to $156.60 for Rhode Island, $149.98 for Connecticut, and $141.80 for Massachusetts. Itemized, the cost is made up as fol lows: f>rvice fee, $12.96; value of time lost by mare in foaling, $10.06; breaking to halter. $2.22; veterinary services, $2.04; care and shelter, first year $4.96, second year $5.36, third year $6.35; most of grain, fed, first | year $4.98, seconfi year $7.14, third i year $9.56; hay, first year $4.14, sec ond year $6.61, third year $4.48; pas ture, first year $2.56, second year $5.41, third year $6.21; other costs, 55.01; total, $104.06. The total cost for all feed is $56.30 being $21.69 for grain, $19.33 for hay, $14.18 for pasture, and $1.21 for other feeds. The total cost of care and she! ter is $16.69. Of the total cost, 54 per cent, is charged to feeds, 16 per cent, to care and shelter; and 30 per cent, to other items, as enumerated above. As more than half the cost of rata ing a three-year horse on the faro is chargeable to feeds, it is readily ob served how important it Is the influ ence of variation in prices of feed stufts upon such cost. To Get Rich Milk. It is not necessary for the cow t« give only a small quantity of milk in order that the milk may be rich. One can use a breed that is famous for their yield of rich milk rather than to get rich milk from a low breed. Picking Sweet Peas. The sweet pea demands a daily stripping of every bloom. Producing seeds Is done at the expense of blooms. However, flowers should be cut witlj sharp shears, never torn from the plant.
