One of the sights of Sterling, Mass., le the houie weielt was the home of liary—the Many familiar and dear to the childhood of perhaps the dntire English speaking race as the one who "had a little Iamb." A woman who quite unintentionally stumbled upon this iuteresting spot tells of her experience and whet slie teethed that day of the facts upon which the celebrated nursery rhyme was founded, as follows: One bright morning in Augnet trolley ride on the new Worcester line presented itself as a good way to spend the day. Noticing that a picnic party was getting ready to alight, I got off with them. They took the left of two roads and I the right. A farmer drove along and inquired: "Hello! Going to see Mary's home?" Not knowing what he meant, I made no reply, but, asked some boys who ap- peared looking for berries whet he meant by "Mary's- home." They replie4 in chortle: "Yes, it's just up the road; ' first little house you tome to is the one where Mary aud the lamb were borne' Pleasantly surprised, P walked on. M the first house that I reached 1 inquired if it WAR Mary's home, and was tola that it was and was invited into the nom where Mary was berm lt was a corxter room Wing the street with four windows.

So much of our winter consiste ot weather which is damp and. cold at the same time, that it behoves people to take special precautions to ward off tho ill effects to which these condi- tions so easily give rise. The chief of such disorders are influenza, eommou colds, sciatica, lumbago, painful stiff neck; and other forms of rheumatism. Some of them might often be prevented. if people were a little more careful. Thus, although lumbago is known to re - suit very conanonly from standing about lit damp and draughts, it is remoxkable fact that meies usual clothing afforda compartively little protection to the lower part of the back. We mettle the neck ane <best with thick woollen scarfs, or flannel protectors, but few people ever think about protecting the back—a really vulnerable part—frorn the cold, It is an excellent thine, especially for men whose work compels them to stand about yards and warehouses, to have a flannel Ruing in their waisteoat, or to wear a knitted Cardigan. Another protection which should not be neglected is proper footwear. Every medical man knows quite well that some of the moat dangerous constitutional disturbaneee are frequently set up by carelessness no to thorough protection of the feet on cold, rainy dap. Chilling of the feet in this manner leads only too often to severe inflammation of the internal organs.- There seems little doubt that the cold of wet pavements is mueh more dangeroue than the damp- ness of a country road. or even of grass, and the town dwellers who an obliged to be much out in the open air Amnia look well to their feet. • CHICKEN PDX.

Dr. Dudley Ser- geant, of Harvard. University has come to the conclusion that women, during the last twenty years have become more like men in figure. This he considers a good sign'as showing that the life and habita of the women of to -day are more in atcordance with nature than were those of the early Victorian woman. "Women in a savage state," says Dr. Sargent, "were so like the ineu ih form that it was well-nigh impossible to tell theta apart. Then as eivilization pro- gressed their especially feminine char. aeteristies became accentuated, until the exaggeration WAS almost painful to look at. Then the pendulum began to swing the other way, and women are again beginning to look and be more like men." The sloping shoulders of our grandmother's time bave disappeared and there are other notable changes which Dr. Sergeant attributes to he creaeed. exercise, more rational corsets and above all to demi breathing. Twenty veers ago, he says, woman did not know how to breathe, but to -day children are taught in the public echools, with the result thee their bodies, as they grow up, are better developed and more healthy. • • ..11-4.41.-.

With Them.Kansas Farmers Do Their Morning Chores. Topeka Kea—Within ten years elec.. erleity 141 light a majority of the farm homes and country schools and ehurches of the State, it is predicted. Farm homes lighted with electricity are' eow num- bered by hundreds. With the general use of the gasoline engine this has been made possible. Electric light and power companies In several of the take are also making plans by which they can supply farmers with curre»t front their trunk lines. A notable as of this sort is found at Manhattan, where the power for electrie generation is furnished by a dam on tha Big Blue River, four miles from the el ty. The current generated is used for electric lighting and, street car purposes in the city of Manliattan, and farmers living near the trunk line are using it in their residences, barns and feed lots, In the early 'morning hours when the farmers feed and care for their stock and do the milking electric lights are found to be very useful. In a rich farming community ten milee tiortit of Atehison the farmers have de- cided to have an electric light plant of their owie They will build a smell power house where eurrent will be gen- erated and from whielt it will be earried into their homes. Fifteen families will share hi this modern system of light- ing. Several farmers living ten miles west of Atehitton have small dynamos on their farms providing electric light for their homes. barns and dairy buildings. Re- eently the town of Troy, forty mike north of Atchison, contracted for light from the Ateleson plant. A trunk line wire wiis stretched between the two places, and now twenty-five farmere along the route ate connecting their homes with this trunk line. Par out in Western Kansas the farm - ere are using electricity for lighting their homes. Near Garden City, which a few years ago was in the centre of the great Amerion desaert, there aro farms where all the buildings are made of temont coterete and each is lighted t with electricity generated by a gasoline i engine on the place. • The early pioneer way of living and the modern system are blended on one farm. A farmer is still living in a sod house, built a quarter of a century ago. He is constructing a new and up-to-date home in which he has hiatalled a gaso- lene engine with which to generate elec- tricity for lighting. Ile will not move out of the old sod house until March next because of its warmth and comfort in Winter, but be is enjoyiug electrie lights in that primitive dwelling. It is believed this is the only instanee in whicyli a sod house hes been lighted by electricity. In the 'natural gas region.s of aoutle eastern Kansas the electric light is cheaper than gas. PROFIT iN SEES. The production of honey is ranked by our statistielans as. a "minor induatry," but that it is not an insignificant one is evidenced by the faet that during the past three years there has been an an- intal output of honey and Wes' wax of about twenty-five millions of dollars.
