Ask him to ask his left hand neighbor to whisper any number to him and give him the choice of adding it to the number he wrote, subtracting it from the number lie wrote or Ignor- ing it altogether, Ask him to ask his right hand neighbor to mention any number to him. He may add this, subtract It, multiply by It or divide by it. He Is to take the sum he now has and multiply by any muitlplo of 9.

He is to cross out any digit in the product except- ing a olpher and to mention to you the digits he did not cross out. Im- mediately you will tell him the number he crossed out.

There are few auiivals better known than skunk, Iu its wild state the skunk roams the whole of North Americas from Canada to Florida, and although it walks about in broad daylight is rarely molested. The reason is that, if annoyed, It can discharge front a special glrtnd a spray, the odor of which is eextremeiy obnoxious. The writer speaks Motu experience when he says that there is nothing else to compare with it, and that a whiff of It will (tape any human bg• ing deadly sick. A sporting dog, If "skunked," is useless for days, losing all power of scenting game. There is a small beetle known as the bombadic:r, which defends Itself when attacked, by discharging an acrid Quid. But this beetle's ammun- ition is not only cftensive; it is ala° volatile, and actually explodes with a s'aarp little report when it meets the air. A bombardier can tiro a cdozen esstoucha►ges o1'. this kind in suc- . There are other insects which have this peculiar habit, one it 1 Inas of ant lion of %hiela a specimen can be seen in the London Zoo. The spray is formic acid, and the rainge is about twelve Inches. Another Insect gunner is the peri - pato:;, which is something between a scorpion and it worm. It 18 abc;ut three inches loth;, and has legs and powerful jaws.

In savage lands shaving is not the plum operation it is In c'ivilize'd cuun- trles. Excruciatingly painful meth- ods still obtain in sinus parts of tilt' world. Fot' instance, the aborigines of Australia shave with pieces of glans or shell. Even more terrifying are the meat hods employed by some of the South Sea lslandere, Itt some of the islands, a "treac- ley" substance is pasted over tho face, then allowed to dry, niter which it is jerked off, piece by piece, bring- ing the hairs with it, One marvels that the natives do not all affect beard +. There is nothing about the New Guinea "shave' 'to recommend it, and ce►tainly even the most fastidious Eurot)yau dandy would cultivate a beard were no other means of shav- ing available. A "barber„ performs the operation, and the stoicism dis- played by his clients is positively amazing, for the "shave" takers some hours to complete, A fe:'v hairs are selected at a time, to which is securely' knotted a length of a fibrous material, The hairs are then palled out literally by the roots, thle operation being continually re- peated until at last the "shave" is completed. — Hcalthogrants.

FUNERAL Ri'T'ES IN CHINA, Are as Extrnordlntti'y its They Are DI versified. I''uneral rites in China are as ex- traordinary as they are diversified, while if the relatives of the defunct are wealthy, elaborate and expensive ceremonial is observed, Should a mandarin be about to die, he is at- : tired in his best clothes, in order that the exit from the world tray be plrformed with becoming dignity. Soon after death the principal mourner, supported by sympathetic friendq, throws copper coins into the nearest river (In China nothing eau be' done without payment) and re- turns to the lying -in-state chamber with a bowl of water, 114 then wxahe.1 the dead man's face, bids the priests summon no fewer than three spirits, and recites numerous incantations. Money is inserted In the mouth of the corpse, and a favorite lacquered box, opium pipe, or piece of jewel- lery, Is placed near the hands. Heading the procession to the grave is a man carrying a lustily - crowing white cock, the noisy bird being supposed to encourage the well to accompany the body; and effigies of strange beasts are interred with the coWn for the purpose of driving away ghosts. When the grave has been filled the cock is made to bow respectfully to the assemblage, In Canton the body is sometimes .taken to a certain part of the town and lodged in a house set apart for the purpose, being kept there until the necromancers decide what date Is most auspicious for the interment, Paper lanterns hang from the roof; cups of tea are placed before the cof- fin at intervals; and cardboare fig- ures are to be seen everywhere. The remains of those whom the Chinaman does not care to honor aro treated in a very different manner, being carried to an tynrrequented spot, and left to the tender mercies of the jackals. Sometimes they are pitched into the nearest pond, This arrangement, however, is frowned at by the authorities, who cause the fol- lowing notice to be put up: "Corpses may not he thrown Into this pond," Few disobey the mandate.

Polo .took various forms in differ- ent countries, with different kinds of mallets and balls, but has settled to a more or less standardized forst in Europe, and North America, The polo ground .is 300 yards in length and from 160 to 200 yards wide. The mallet is cigar -shaped, with a long handle. Each player must be a good horseman, able to make a pony gallop, must have a control of the ball, hitting hard and clean!, and in tho direction he wishes it to go. He must he able to hit when gallop- ing his best pace with the ball, or hit a backhander when the ball le coming toward him. Polo has given rise to a new type of horse, a pony of 14 hands 2 inches, with the power of a hunter, the' courage of a race- horse and the docility of a pony;' i The, polo pony is remarkable for his agility and intelligence, two facts which strike the early spectator of a game, "He can turn around on a nickel," is the somewhat exaggerated '-but expressive description of one • Will Increase llulunn'11't-+f1 lit.

Tho Jerking movements of the body are caused by spasms affecting the dia- phragm or midriff, which is the mus- cular partition separating the chest and abdomen, and is an important organ or respiration. This spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm Is simi- lar to 4kccups in people. Cause of the Trouble. The cause of the trouble appears to be due to some disturbance of the nerves which supply the diaphragm. In many cases the nervous disturb- ance is the result of some derange- ment of the digestive system. Lack of sufficient exercise and overloading of the stomach are common causes of thumps In young pigs, At times there appears to be an inherited tendency to 018 trouble In the case of litters from pampered or overfed sows. When pigs become affected with thumps the trouble is plainly shown by the thumping, jerking movements of the flanks. The jerkings are some- times so marked that they move and sway the body hack and forth. The attacks are usually 1110r0 aggravated alter feeding when the stomach is full, The trouble may last only for a few days In some Cases, and in others it may last for several weeks, and soni0 fail to recover, Prevention and Treatment. This trouble of young pigs can be largely prevented' by allowing theta exercise and avoiding overfeeding. When they become affected they should be made to take exercise in a good, large, roomy place, In sum- mer they may be turned out to rus- t ore and allowed to range about. Madly affected pigs should bo given :1 dose of castor oil to clean out the r:toutach and bowels, To lessen the 1 pastns of the diaphragm from Ave to ten drops of laudanum can be given every four or Ave hours. The affected pigs should be kept on a light diet for a few days and kept hungry so as to encourage them to roam about more and get plenty of exercise.—Dept, of Extension, 0. A.

St. Thomas was run through the body with a lar" at Coromandel, in the East Indies, I. St, Jude was shot to death with arrows. St, Matthias was first stoned and then beheaded, St, Barnabas of the Gentiles was stoned to death at Salonica.

(Contributed by Ontario Department et Agriculture, Toronto.) When wells have become polluted from unsanitary seepage or drainage the cause should be found and re- nleved, and preventive measures tak. en so that the trouble should not recur. Tho water so polluted should be sterilized before being used for drinking purposes. Sterilization may be accomplished either by boiling the water or by the addition of a atilt - able disinfectant, Tho disinfectant most suitable ,for this purpose is a hypochlorite solution, 141ock I1)•pochlurlte for Water Purl - Hem 10n. This hypochlorite solution may be prepared and applied as follows: I. Mix ono -half pound of chloride of lime (33 per cent, available chlorine) with one pint of water. 2. Add sufficient water to make ono gallon. 3. Dissolve 13 ounces of sal soda crystals in two quarts of lukewarm water. 4. Add sufficient water to make one gallon. 5. Mix these two solutions in a barrel or crock and allow the milky solution to settle over night, 6. Pour off the clear liquid from the white sediment into a jug and fill into bottles, well stoppered, and keep cool in a dark place. This "stock hypochlorite" will contain approxi- mately the equivalent of 3 per cent. of chloride of lime or 1 per cent. of available chlorine, Application, Mix one ounce of this stock solu- tion to Ave gallons of water that is to be used for drinking purposes. After mixing allow to stand for half an hour before use. The solution may be added in small quantities to water after it has been drawn from the well, or the quantity of water in the well or cistern may be estimated and the necessary amount of the solution poured direct Into the well and stirred in.

It is a good practice to leave the calf with its dam for the first two or three days, even though it is planned to rear the calf by hand. Autumn -born calves usually escape digestion troubles, due to cold wea- ther being an aid in preventing the souring of food, A grass lot adjoining the stable is very useful to calves over three months of age. Young calves thrive best In a clean, well ventilated, cool, dry stable. If the horns are not desired, treat, with caustic potash before the calf' is more than ten days old.—Dept. of Extension, 0. A.

Experiments were conducted in the Field Hus- bandry Department at tho Ontario Agricultural College in which differ - Unusually a sow is most prolific when she Is from two to four years of age, and is probably at her beat when about two and a half years, Soon after she reaches maturity she is at her prItne. After the sow has reached four or five years her powers begin to wane, and it is not long after •that when she becomes unpro- fitable. Just how long to keep a sow will depend upon the individual. If properly handled two litters of pigs a year can bo secured from a sow. It is not best to breed a gilt until she Is eight to ten months old, Pigs can be weaned at six weeks of age, bue eight weeks is probably better. They should bo eating long before they are weaned and bo well able to. secure all the nourishment they need from other sources than the sow's milk, so they will not be checked in their growth by weaning. Many sows will accept service within a few days after farrowing, but it is not best to breed them until after the pigs are weaned, or in eight or pine weeks. The welfare of the sow ad the next litter of pigs should be kept in mind, and the sow should have time to re- cuperate after raising a bunch of lusty pigs before undertaking the job again. .

The man who sold me my tin - canning outfit last fall told of stop- ping in a chance manner at the home of one of hie clients and being request- ed to state which of fifteen different kinds of meat he would like for din- ner. Then, he went on to say, abe served to hint twenty minutes later— roost beef with brown gravy. While I can boast of nn such var- iety, I could serve to a surprise guest any of the following: sirloin steak, two ways, straight and smothered in onions; porterhouse steak with pan gravy; ro.:.-t Beef; beet stew; meat rolls; not to mention coup. All of the meat except that for beef stew was cooked before it was put into the cans. Meat rolla made from the round are a real delicacy. The meat is cut about half an inch thick and in pieces wide enough to roll and tie, Pieces six laches long will just fit into quart can lengthwise after thoy have been fried. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and finely chopped onions. Cut bacon in thin slicers and put R slioe on each piece of meat. Roll each piece up tight and tie with a string. Now sear these well in hot fat, browning on all sidea. Add water and tallow to simmer for thirty ininutes. Remove the strings and pack hot into tin cans, pouring the hot gravy over it. Of course you muat sterilize the eans--for the rolls it takes two and a half hours in boiling water, or sixty minutes under fifteen pounds' pres- sure. When a can finiehos cooking, I remove it to the sink and turn the cold -water faucet onto it. All sizeable pieces from the rump, prime ribs and sirloin from around the hip bone went into the roasting pan in the oven till done. These were packed into quart cans, covered with the browned meat juice and drippings and cooked in the cans the same length of time as the meat rolls, The bones were removed from steaks before frying so as to got es much meat as possible into a can. All of the bones were cooked and the stock oanned. Slices of onions, nicely browned, were laid between the small steaks as they were packed into the cans. Just a few of the sirloin steaks were canned this way, The others, including the tender fil- lets, wore only seasoned with salt and pepper. The leg and scraps from the other cuts went into beef stew and goulash. With the former, the meat was packed cold into the cans, the crevices filled with boiling water, sea- soning added, and the cans then sealed and cooked in boiling water for three hours.

THE HOT WATER BATH LUNCH. 1 think a school teacher of my ac- quaintance has solved the hot lunch problem very satisfactorily and effi- ciently. This school teacher was a man, and as the school had no older girl pupils he hit upon this plan of, roviding a warm lunch at noon. He purchased a galvanized wash' boiler and a cold -pack rack. This, with! a brace the blacksmith welled on the stove, comprised the complete expen dituro--less than four dollars. Each family of one or two children bring a pint jar of "dinner." In a family of three or more, two pint jars are used. The bringing of tea and coffee is absolutely prohibited. During the first reee€s tho teacher; places the boiler and contents on the, stove, with enough water to submerge the cans nicely. By noon, the lu.tch is piping hot, and beat of all, without any confusion, waiting, experimenting; or dishwashing. Then, too, each child has for lunch just what ho likes best.! Mother knows better than anyone what her kiddies like and dislike. ' There are endless variations: Cocoa,, celery soup, creamed tomato soup, rice' pudding, etc. Ho has used this hots lunch plan since Thanksgiving, Each, day it has been a voluminous success.'

Criminologists, says a writer in a Now York newspaper, can give the answer. Criminals rarely have a home unless it is a homo of the wrong kind. Parents who want their children to grow up right should learn; (1) that the ordinary person will always reflect his earlier life and the example he has received at hone; (2) that, if a child bas no respect for his home, he will have no respect for anything else; (8) that a home that has not religion for its basis has no meaning, no se- curity and no power; and (4) that the home is the foundation of the community; nations that forget the truth will not endure.

"Tho marriage arranged between Mr, Peter Garvock of Tho Lees, and Kinluce, Ayrshire, and Miss Carlotta Carlyon will not take place." These words danced before Alan Ranldno's oyes, and sent the blood pounding to his temples, as he turned his newspaper, in a corner of a third- class compartment of a Glasgow train. It was only Wednesday morning— three days since that fateful Sunday destined to alter the current of so many lives. Carlotta had spoken, then, and with no uncertain voice. Many eyes had noted these signifi- cant words, so bald and definite, and giving no hint of the tragedy which' so often lies behind. On the whole, the expressed fueling` had been one of relief and satisfac-' tion. It is not well—they said --that man should marry out of his class. But what was Peter Garvock's' class, and what Carlotta's? Time' would tell! It was eleven o'clock of the day, and but few passengers patronized that train, which was a slow one, stopping at most of the stations on the way. Alan had one fellow -passenger in his compartment—a large, comfortable, motherly -looking woman of the work- ing-class, dressed in her best, and with a aubstantial, roomy hand -bag bulging, on her arm. She knew him very well, and had suffered a moment of breathless ex- citement when he swung himself into the corner just as the train was mov- ing out. When the Laird of Stair had been a little curly -headed laddie, with a face like the morning, she had been a kitchenmald in his mother's house. She had been happy there, too, and her interest in Stair had remained vivid! and kindly through a life of excep- tional stress and care. . "Carlotta has spoken then," said Stair to himself, as the black typo danced before his eyes. "'The mar- riage arranged will not take place.' Why? Because, some day and some- where, another had been arranged since the beginning of time." Suddenly the narrow compartment seemed to close in upon Alan Rankine, and, with a desperate effort, he lower- ed his paper, and proffered a request to his follow -passenger. "Would you mind if I opened an- other window, madam? It is very close this morning." "I dinna mind. I'd like it" she answered, with a wide, kind smile. "It's very warm for Aprile. I walkit in free Alloway, and I found that!" "Thank you," said Stair, and drop- ped the window to ita lowest. "Fine woathor we're gettin', sir," pursued the lady with kindly garrul- ity, and encouraged by his tone and manner. "But maybe you don't find, it very warm after tho Indies?" Stair could not but smile at this naive conveyance of recognition. "I like the home climate beat," he assured her. "You live in Alloway then?" "I do—my name is Susan Simpson. My man's deld. I used to serve at Stair in your mither's time, sir, and! I mind ye a little wco chap—like! this!" sho added, measuring the! height with her hand. "Eh, sic a ras- cal! But the very nipple o' every e'e'l at Stair—just us yo are now, sir, I (thine doot!" Stair smiled, not resenting this claim upon him; nay, responsive, us were all the Rankines, tot kindness from gentle or simple, There was no aloofness about • them! They were kindly, human people, conceding to others logs exalted the right to live, and even to share the feelings com- mon to humanity. "Dear me, how interceding( I sup- pose you have a family of your own?" "Ay—eeeven, a' acattered. I'm awa' up, to the Infirmary to see my young-,' est--Easybell. She had an operation last Wednesday, She's doin' fine." ' "Not serious, I ' hope?" "I don't know," aho,answcred doubt- fully. "I'm not keen on operations instal'. I don't believe the Almichty lntendit us to bo cut up, but I'm no' eayln' that it doesna do good, maybe whiles. Yo are not goiu' back to the Indies, sir, I hope?" "Not in the meantime, I think." "That's good news. What would Stair be withoot a Rankine? We was a' was -for ye tho ithor day in Alloway Kirk, liir, He -wars a fine man the laird; and few was ever laid in the lcirkyard wi' maim rale sorrow frac gentle and elmple." "Thank you," answered -Stair quite? gently, and put up his paper again to stem the stream of her garrulity. Sho took the quint hint, and the train sped on, getting them at last to their- destination, where Stair paus- ed on the platform to help his follow- troveller down from the rather high • step, with as much care and kindliness, aa.1f she had been his mother or his sist(ir, ''Ood, bless ye, sir, and gi'o ye your heart's desire! You are your fuither's sal" she said, looking at .hini with , full' oyes, 1j .So, with that blessing ringing, warm and comforting, in his ears, Stair went on his way. He had need of all its comfort, for there was none in the, inner room of the lawyer's office in (lath Street, where old Samuel Itichardson, hard - faced, alert, and keen, waited his come ing. "Good morning, Mr. Rankine; Pin Old to sc*e you. i've had an import- ant communication from Skono & Blair. I was just writing to you about it," "Yes?" said Rankine a trifle hardly as he put down his haat and stick and took the proffered chair. "And what proposal have they to make?" Mr. Richardson looked the discom- fort he felt, for in his long business career he had seldom had a more diffi- cult proposition in front of him. "I am hoping there has been some mistake," he continued, as he took a folded letter from under a paper- weight at his elbow. "I can't under- stand why Mr. Garvock should, nt this juncture, suddenly decide upon action so drastic, and, I must; add, incon- siderate." Stair took the letter from the law- yer's hand, and ran his eyes quickly over it. "Well, what is to he done? My cousin refuses to renew the mortgage. Can you find me anybody else to re- new it?" The old lawyer appeared to consider deeply for a moment. "1 infer from this letter that your present relations with your cousin are strained?" "They are worse, Mr, Richardson; we have quarrelled bitterly." "But not, I hope, beyond hope of re- conciliation? There have been quar- rels between Stair and The Lees be- fore, and they have been patched up." "This one is likely to Inst," answer- ed Rankine briefly. "We had better discuss it from that standpoint, any- how. 1 must face the situation in all its nakedness. At the present moment it is not possible for us to live at Stair. Quite evidently my cousin wants to force a sale of the place. ,That must be prevented, somehow, and you must do it." "That would appear to be Mr. Gar- vock's idea. I think it an iniquitous and preposterous suggestion myself, and I told Mr. Skene that last night." "May I ask what view he took of the situation?" The lawyer shrugged lois shoulders. "I don't lcnow a more prudent and silent man than old Dugald Skene, Mr. Rankine. What he convinced me of, however, was that Mr. Garvock means to stick to this." "But Stair must be saved to the Rankines somehow), Mr. Richardson! Can't you suggest n way out?" "I have gone over the whose ground carefully, and they have been engaged all the morning with the Stair title deeds and boundaries. You want my candid advice, Mr, Rankine?" "Abeolute;y."

Use Home Grown Red Red clover seed has been a failures or partial failure during the past sea-, son in a great many districts whore seed is usually produced. Such a condition always means danger for the! farmers in Canada, particularly in those suctions where severe winters sometimes interfere with our . red clover stands. The danger to which I refer is that of securing imported red clover seed from regions whore sorts, non -hardy for our conditions, are produced. A shortage of domestic rod clover seed on the American continent always means heavier importation of foreign send. Seed has been coming from France and Italy and therein iiesf, eel least in part, our danger.' Tests of the relative hardiness of domestic and foreign rod clovers have been conducted on the Experimental Farms for a number of yoara past. Without exception, French and Italian clovers have winter killed badly under Clover Seed. • most conditions, while English seed and that secured from the southern portion of the red clover -areas in the United States has. been less hardy than Canadian grown seed. Seed from Sweden and the North- ern States have compared quite favor- ably with our 'own. Because of the difficulty of securing accurate information as to the origin of imported red clover seed, our Can- adian farmers are urged to secure locally grown seed whero possible, providing such seed can be secured reasonably free from noxious weeds, it would bo much more profitable to plant a larger quantity of local seed, the germination of which was impair-) ed to some extent, than to take a chance of winter killing in the case of imported clovers, the origin 'of which! was not known,—G.
