The reason why fatted flesh is better
than unfatted is that globules of fat are
distributed. throughout the muscles, dis-
placing to a considerable degree the
moisture found there in. The bulk is
not only therefore increased, but also
when the flesh is cooked the fat does
not evaporate to the same extent as
water, but, melting, softens the tissue,
making it more digestible and finer in
flavor.
An authority on horticulture, referring
to the importance of perfect fertilization,
says that any farmer who is raisng
fruit or alfalfa for seed can well afford
to keep ten colonies of bees, even though
he does not get a pound of honey.
Fresh, immure is valued at about $2
per ten, but that which is well rotted
Is more valuable. A ton of manure that
had been rotted for three nsonths, when
analyzed was found to contain 24 pounds
of potash, 15 of nitrogen and 6 of phos-
phoric acid, being -worth about $3.
A dairyman who thas been unusually
successful with his cows feeds this ra-
tion: Clover, hay and corn fodder, all
the cows will eat up clean, for rough-

and he feeds one pound of graiht to three
or four pounds of milk, with 10 pounds

Internal parasites are the worst ene-
mies of sheep, and the stomach worm is
perhaps the worst of these. Any ground
long pastured. with infested sheep will
become infested with these parasites.
Preventioit is better than a cure. Change
pastures often, and pasture as much as
possible in stubble fields and other fields
that have been in cultivation. Especial-
ly pasture the ewes and lambs in clean
pasture. In the fields that have been
cultivated the parasites have been killed
off.

The crows were once beautiful birds,
loved and admired b yall the fowls of
the air. The twelve of that time dressed
in the most gorgeous colors and their
heads weee decorated with red feathers
that glistened like fire when the sun re -
fleeted upon a. The crows had many Ler-
vante who attended upon them. The
woodpecker was the, head servant aid
hie helpers were the sap ruekers, yellow
hammers and the linnets. They faith-
fully performed their duty of combing
the beautiful goads of the erowe rapt
Would now end then pluok a feather
•from the arow's head and stick ie in
their own, at the same time making the
excuse that they were pulliag at a
snarled feather or picking nits from his
head.
So one day the °rows got very angry
at losing their beautiful feathers from
their heeds and w0ien the servants herd.
of this they immediately formed a plot
against the crows.
So ono morning as the „servants were
attending upon the crows they over-
powered them and plucked all of their
red. feathers from their heads and roll-
ed them in a heap of charcoal, thus
coloring them black to this very day.
Any one can, see for himself the crows

former servants, for they still possess
the read heads that the crows once. had.

A SUN DIAL wrArr,
Indian Pilgrim' Way of Telling the
Time of Day.
The Principle of the sun dial is too
well known to require do:caption. In it
the gnomou, cat to the attitude of late
place where the dial is to be erected, is
pointed due north, while the lines welch
mark the hours are bet out ee • certain
calculated intervals. The sun eial pos.
ewer', however, tee great d:saelventegee
that during the noontide hours from 11
o'clock a. in, to 1 o'clock p. ne it 2g
practically useless,, because the shadows
cast by the sun, almost vertically over-
head, are so sheet as to make the dial
useless as a clock during these hours.
Also the dial is,fixed in ono spot and
cannot be carried about from place to
place.
It has remained for andian pilgrims to
show how an ordinary walking stick can
be modified to serve as a dial. If a etaff
with 305 sides were fixed vertically in
the ground and lines were marked across
each of these sides at appropriate 4115-
tancee for the different hours, then it Li
clear that if a short stick or style were
inserted hoilzontally in a hole at the
top of that sido of the staff which cor-
responded to the day of the year in
question something of the nature of a
sun dial would result. lt would be mere-
ly necessary to turn the staff round un-
til the shadow of the style fell vertically
down the side of the staff for the parti-
cular day, when if the horizontal hour
Itnes had been correctly calculated, the
end of the shadow would mark the time
of day.
A staff of this kind which fell into the
writer's possession recently hadeight
sides; consequently four sides had to
serve for eight months of the year, while
the other four sides served each for a
single month. It was made of sal wood,
o sound wood of good. quality common
in the Indian Hills, and it was shot at
the end with 4 sharp iron cone to pre-
vent wear when it was used as a, walk-
ing stick, and to enable it to be inserted
upright in the ground whea It was de-
sired to use it as El, dial.
At the top of tire staff, about half an
inch from the end, holes ea inch in diam-
eter had been drilled completely thrbugh
each pair of opposite faces. Similarly
eight inches further down another set
of holes of exactly similar character had
been drilled. The object of these holes
was the insertion of the style, or gno-
mon, in this case 4 short straight ;ound
stick. When not in use this style was
placed in 4 hole drilled vertically down
the handle for the purpose.
In the eight inches of space between
the upper and lower sets of transverse
holes the names of the months were
written In Hindi in cursive character,
those sides which had to serve for two
months bearing both names. Down each
of the side lines, were scribed across at
intervals, each line beim; marked with
the numbers 1, 2, 3, etc., in turn, and in-
dicating the number of half hours which
had elapsed since the sun rose. These
numerals were carved on 'the sides of the
staff in Hindi eharacter, though the
workmanship was not of a very high
class.
To use the staff as a sun dial the
owner had merely to take out the
straight style or gnomon from its cen-
tral resting place and put it into the
peeper hole for the month in question;
then- turning the staff round until the
shadow fell vertically down the staffs he
was able to see whether the hour of
prayer had yet arrived.
The twelve months of the Hinei year
correspond very closely with the English
months. A reference to any alinanne wIll
show what is the best arrangement in
order that with a staff of eight sides
eight out of the twelve months of the
year may be arranged in pairs to suit
the mean declination of tho month. in
this way several of the faces of the steif
aro netae to serve each for two months;
and, taking the tildes in immerical se-
quence, the following; was the arrange-
ment adopted: 1 and 5, 4, 3, 2, 9, 8 and
10, 7 and 11, and finelly, for the eighth
side, 0 and 12. The sixth mark on the
seventh side were missingee-India corres-
pondence London Times.
In both eases the omission was com-
plete and no blank panel hnd been left
for the future carving of the number.
The steff was a rough one, and. its cost
would be a ttipee or so only. It would
went probable, therefore, that the onus -
don wits the result of carelessness on
the part of the workmen rather than of
design. A suggestion to one of the In-
dian pundits that hte omission might be
clue,to certain religious observances beet
with to confirmation.
Staffs or walking sticks of this de-
stription, if made to weetern ideas of
time measurement, would. certainly lie
its acettrete as -many of the sun diets
which are strewn over the countryside.
Thdr great advantgae lies In their por-
tability and in their more accurate
reading during the midday hours when
the shadows are longest and when the
traveller or worker in the fields most
desires to know, approximately, the tittle
of day.—India eorerspoudenee London

The light of poets sometimes shines
dimly, and Byron says "The light that
leads astray is not the light from hea-
ven." Men do not go to the tomb, they
are away days before the body is laid to
rest. Let us not confound our thoughts
or corrupt our speech. What has an
heir of immortality to do with dying?
Here is a man who bas commended him-
self to his employer, he is edvanced, his
pity is increased, a junior partnership
looms in the near future. He has lived
with his wife in a fifteen dollar house.
Now he pays mare, he has said good-bye
to the old tenement; he will never re-
turn to it. Our body is the house in
wbich we live. We leave it, we rise,
we shine in the light of God, if we are
regenerate.
There is no death! Jesus called it
sleep. "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth."
Paul called it 'departure.' Go on the

long ago, I died when I ceased to fight
against Jesus, so says the Christian man

til my work is done, and even after-
wards. I go to live, to live for ever
more. Who dare gainsay these words?

THE HISTORIC CHRIST.
,So then we ask what is the evidetice?
Primarily, without question, the exist-
ence of the Churele How in the world
are you to suppose the Church came in-
to existence, unless Christ is an historie
person? You must have Some starting
-
point for this enornigus network of ec-
clegiastical organizations; you must have
a foundation which is adequate to the
fact. And the Church's tbeory
of its own foundation is ade-
quate. Indeed, the difficulty
ty really is that the foundation seems
more than adequate to the. fact; for it
seems easy to ask and difficalt to an-
swer, why the divine Fouitcler should
found an institution so remote. in its
practice from his own ideals. But at.
least it is true that the Church's theory
is adequate. The Church Elflp that it
was founded by an historic Vigute whose

And how else are you goieg to explain
the fact of the Church? For, remeinber.

An exhibition of this kind—except

audiences mad with delight nightly.

In no other capital in Europe has tho
cost of living increased so greatly dur-
ing the last two or three years as in
Vienna, and Parliament has taken one
step toward easing tho strain by grant
of money for the building of cheaper
dwellings. Fifty thousand pounds a year
for ten years will be placed at the dis-
position of local authorities and build-
ing associetions with this object.
The amount is not very large but it is
