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, navatay, the flying foxes, so named on erent of their having faces like a flea.

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- ribly afraid of drafts. It is said that 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 forth. China Wants ilerrite;.

Germany has street cleaners Russia employs nearly 700,000 women in factories. Wome n workers in Chili receive an average of 38 cents a day. Philadelphia has five women municipal positions. Nevada, with 16,980 has the smallest number of children in the United States. Out of a population of 33,130 in Mus- tal ha, Pasha, there are only 4,000 males. The club women of Concord, N.I-I., have won their fight for lower steet car steps. Ninety-eight per cent. of the women in Kansas are members of faimers' insti tutes. Women mix mortar and carry the hod for nuilding operations in Munich, Ger- many. Several women have passed the ex- amination for the bar in Georgia but have not been allowed to practice. Divorces drawing alimony in excess of 83,000 are compelled to pay an income tax to the Government. The women's eight hour law in Den- ver now includes bookkeepers, steno graphers and cashiers. Forty babies out Of every 100 born in the United States do not receive medi- cal attention at birth.

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.

It is the most celebrated portrait in existence. It was rot:oil-al at one time that the British Government had offered $5,- 00 0,09 0 for the work. The offer was 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. REBUKE I -3Y SARCASM. About the Poorest Place to Use It Is In the Classroom. In a well known Boston school there was a boy conspicuously dull at his Latin. He was a straightforward fel- low and a gentleman by birth and bxeeding, but he was a bungler at syn- tax. One morning he had tangled himself In a simple phrase. The teacher asked a question that should have cleared him. But the poor lad did not know the answer. Then the teacher leaned back in hi.: chair, rolled his gay eyes to the evil Ing and said for all the class to bear, "I have been told that it is a hard thing to stuff a wildcat with WW1, particularly if you have to do It with a. hot awl, but that is child's play compared with putting Latin in a boy like this." Of course the laugh Came, bet as the boys laughed they despised the teach er, "Sercasni," said Carlyle. "Is the Inn - gunge of the devil."

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 bred Berkshire, Duroe-Jersey, Po- 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. One Law Against ,It.

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.
