One of the strangest characteris-

To be as "blind -r a bat" is not to
be blind at all, but rather to possess
powers of vision that are uncommon-

and fairly geed even in broad day-

will ily to places of safety as briskly
and as suceessfully as so many swal-

the appearance of tiny beads, and in
Ch1 s respect they are an exception to
moo night animals. They all possess

variation.
The bats have been divided into
two natural sub orders—insect-eating
bars and fruit -eating bats. There is
only one family of fruit -eating hats,

erent of their having faces like a

Lived on Autographs. Rib men t.
Autograph hunting sometimes
proves a proatable pursuit. A French-
man of the last century, Luelovic Pi-
card, made a steady income out of it
for some years. His most successful
coup was accomplished with a letter
in whleh he posed as "one of the un-
appreciated who is meditating sui-
cide and seeks for counsel and aid in
this hour of sore distress." This ef-
fusion drew a number of celebrities,
including Beranger and Heine. La- ,
cordaire sent ten closely written
pages, which were promptly convert-
ed into cash. Dickens also fell a via -
time and took the trouble to answer
in French. Eventually Picard was
shown up and had to seek another
occupation.
Careful of His Voice.
Brignoli, the famous tenor, was
very careful of his voice and was ter-

during the winter it always took him
three-quarters of an hour to get from
his room to the street. First he would
on leaving his room pace the hall for
ten minutes to get acclimatized. He
then descended to the lobby, where
the temperature was a little lower,
and spent twenty minutes there. Ile
then ventured to the vestibule, which
he arOuld parade for fifteen minutes,
occaa tonally opening the door to let
fri a little cold air. Being atm ac-
customed to a cool temperature, he
would button up his coat and flatly

Plentiful Exercise Conduces to Health
and Vigor,
There is no stallion so good that he
will not be a lot better if he is worked
daily in the harness and made to take
his turn in all the -hard labor of the
farm. What is there about a stallion
that he should be condemned either to
•a life of luxurious ease or neglect more
or less total? Few stallions kept for
service in the country get proper care
—indeed few of them get any sort of
care at all during the winter season.
Generally they are maintained on a
starvation diet and allowed to grow
hair several inches long, in which all
manner of filth and vermin may collect
at will. Stalls are seldom cleaned out,
and as for cleaning ap the exercising
yard, that is never thought of.
Why should so many stallions be
kept in this obnoxious way? Take any
one of the farm horses and submit it
to the same treatnient and It would go
wrong in a shoit time. Why then ex-
pect a stallion to withstand such 111
treatment simply because be is a stal-.
lion? No matter what the horse cost,
break him and put him to work. His

Leonardo da Vinci's model was the
third wife of k're.ncesco del Gioconda,
a Florentine of the fifteenth aud six-
teenth centuries, When Da Vinci
painted her she Was about thirty
years old. She ie shown seated in 11,
low chair, on the left arint of which
she is leaning. The gown is simple
and drapes the figure iu easy folds.
Dark hair, hanging loosely, drapes an
oval face -with expressive eyes and
aquiline nose.
Abouth the mouth Is seen the smile
which has been the chief characteris-
tic in making the painting famous.
It is said that Da Vinci, in order to
obtain this effect, had musicians,
singers and jesters near bis subject to
amuse her as he painted. The pic-
ture is not very large, less than 30
by 24 inches.
Poets have found a peculiar fascin-
ation in Mona Lisa's smile. "If Don
Juan had met her," wrote Theophile
aautier, "he would have been saved
the writing on his list of the names of
3,000 women—he would have writ-
ten but one, and the wings of his love
would have refused to carry him fur-
ther."
"The male and the name, ' wrote
Sir Claude Phillips shortly after the
picture disappeared from the Louvre,
'are by this time inextricably inter-
woven, and the title of `La Joconde'
will ever call up the glance, which is
not so much one of youthful buoyancy
and joy in existence as an interroga-
tion penetrating into the very bsing
of the onlooker, but allowing no pene-
tration, no divination, (*I his part in
return."
The artist spent almost four yearD
on the work, from 1500 to 1504, and
even then pronounced it unfinished.
Soon after the picture was painted it
was purchased by King Francis I. of
France for 4,010 ducats (about $9,-
200). King Francis was an ardent
admirer of Da Vinci's work, and he
afterward appointed him his court
painter. Da Vinci died in France in
1519.
Though the picture would seem to
have an unbroken "pedigree" since
the day that the king boeght it, there
have been and still are critics who
declare that it is not the original
"Gioconda." The best opinion, how-
ever, is that this is the work on which
Da Vinci labored with such minute
care, even arranging to have music
played to bring to the face of his sit-
ter that strange, baffling smile that
has captivated lovers of art for four
centuries.
"She is older than the rocks among
which she sits," wrote Walter Pater
In a passage in "The Renaissance;"
which has become almost as celebrat-
ed as the picture. "Like the vam-
pire, she has been dead many times,
.and has learned the secrets of the
grave, * * * and has trafficked f or
strange webs with eastern merchants,
and, as Leda, Was the mother of Hel-
en of Troy and, as St. Anne, the mo-
ther of Mary. And all this has been
to her but as the sound of lyres and
flutes and lives only in the delicacy
with which it has modeled the chang-
ing linearaents and tinged the eyelids
and the hands."
The lack of motive has always been
'the stumbling block in the way of the
story of robbery until the -explana-
tion that the Italian who committed
the theft did so to avenge the taking
out of Italy by Napoleon of the fam-
ous art collection which France ac-
'quired through the -emperor's inva-
sion.
Many stories and theories had been
circulated. It was with such partic-
ularity that the story that the "Mona
Lisa" was not stolen, but was de-
stroyed by carelessness while being
'cleaned, was told and retold, that it
came to be generally believed. Ar-
tists especially credited it.
Another story that the aqtual theft
took place long before Aug. 1, 1911,
the date when the story of the dis-
appearance of the picture was put in-
to circulation. It was said that the
original had been replaced by a copy
and that when the officials discovered
this they evolved the story of the
robbery. This yarn was rather dr-
cumstantially told, but there appear-
ed to be little to support it except
some vivid imagination.

The crossbred is the bog that will

Furthermore, we know just where
we are getting off, with no frills
nor sentiment attached in these
days of high priced feed, labor and ,
the ravages of hog cholera. MY
ideal bog is produced by using a
mature Tarnworth site with a pure

land China or Chester White sow,
and 1 prefer them in the order
named. The picture shows the long
snout characteristic of the pure bred
Tamworth hog.
a double line of Norway spruce is very
good. The.tree is easier to grow and
more vigorous than other pines.
As is well knowe, the hair covering
the hogs is not sufficient to protect
them from excessive cold. They hud-
dle to keep warm or burrow into straw
or leaves to shelter them from winds.
These places are often damp. The
hogs emerge from such places hot and
steaming. The sudden effect of the
chill is injurious. It is not likely that
hogs kept with feeding cattle under
these conditions will thrive well.
The solution of the problem lies in a
proper protection for the yards and
warm and dry quarters for sleeping.
Some stock handlers locate their feed-
ing yards in the heart of a thick woods
and succeed in keeping their stock
quite comfortable. Ordinarily a straw
stack is located In the feeding yard.
This is an advantage to the cattle, but
not to the hogs. Yet the hogs like to
sleep around these stacks. The diffi-
culty is that it is hard to keep hogs
with cattle in open lots without the
disadvantage of their burrowing into
the straw or under the feeding boxes.
The colder the lot the greater the tend-
ency to huddle together.
The better way is to shut the hogs
away from the stacks and boxes at
night, providing a warm and dry shel-
ter for them. It may be that an apart-
ment in the barn or other building can
be opened to them. We find our hog
house with wooden floor eighteen
inches above ground furnishes a satis-
factory sleeping place for hogs in win-
ter. We have not tried the concrete
floor, but the elevated wooden floor is
,usually dry. 'This building is boarded
close to the ground. Large hogs do not
particularly require bedding, but pigs
need more warmth, and bedding is sup-
plied them.

prone to forget. In order to stand well,
a centre must be established, and the
nitural centre of the body is in the
chest. When the chest is thrust out
aed up just as high as possible, the
abdomen is drawn backward automatic-
allv, the shoulders go back, but not too
fart the backbone straightens without
becoming rigid, and all the members of
Vie bodily economy are enabled to move
.reely.
Are your hips large, or is one of them
thrust further forward than the other?
Throw up your chest and stop resting
your full weight upon one foot. Is one
shoulder higher than the other? Then
your centre of gravity is in the wrong
place.
Throw your chest up and right it.
Right standing positien is the very first
essential of grace and health, and after
the centre of gravity has been correctly
established, muscle coatrol must be
acquired if .you aim to stand quietly
without tension, and muscle control
means allowing muscles not absolutely
required for iinmediate work to.rest.
With a correct position of the body
there is no unnatural pressure upon any
organ. The weight must always be
upon the balls of the feet. Acquire
this control by rising on the toes and
allowing the heels to sink slowly with-
out tipping the body forward.
THE FRESHENING COW.
Ration to Prepare Animal For the Lac-
tation Period.
The care of a cow before fresheniug
usually has a very marked influence
upon the work she will do during the
coming lactation period, says Hoard's
Dairyman. Cows that are run down
in flesh shoeld be given a ration while
dry that will build them up and pre-
pare them for the work of the coining
year.
Immediately prior to freshening the
rations should consist of light feeds
that are not too beating in character.
If the herd has been cared for in some
such manner we would suggest that
they be worked up gradually to a ra-
tion consisting of about twenty-flve
pounds of corn silage, twenty pounds
of roots, with as much clover or alsike
hay as they care to consume twice
each day and eorn fodder once a day
in such quantities as will be consumed
without unnecessary waste.
This roughage could well be supple-
mented by a gren mixture of 300
pounds of ground corn, 300 pounds
ground oats and 200 pounds wheat
bran, It will be necessary to feed this
grain ration at the rate Of about one
pound to every three and a half to
four pounds of milk produced.
