'Uses of Sea Weeds.
A. good many of us think of sea.
weeds AS perfectly useless ocean
growths, somewhat like our garden
weeds. As a matter of fact, sea
weeds have many, teaser uses. They
furnish foal for the fish, the same
as grass and herbage do for our cattle
and isheep. And many of the smaller
fish build their nomes—almost like
ouil birds -4n the floating island of sea
treed. They also keep the water mire.
Sea weed of a certain kind used to
be Meech in denta'nd, as it contained
tut alkali used in the manufacture Of
soap, but this is now obtained from
other sources,
Sea weeds are used by farmers
eking the coast for fertiizer, and in
the fall et is interesting to see them
gathering it. often driving their
teKlralier out into the water, the
boksee plunging back with a load of
the glistening stuff. If you have
been in New England you have prob-
ably' notieed this yourself.

King Invented Three -handled Cup
It is said that the origin of the "lov-
ing cup" is traceable to HearIV. of
France. While hunting he etrayed
from his eompanions, and feeling
thirsty called at a wayside inn for a
cup of wine. The serving maid, on
handing it'to him as he sat on horse-
back, neglected to present the handle.
Some wine was spilled, and the king's
white ganntlete were soiled. As he
was riding home the thought came to
him that a two -handled eup would pre..
vent a recurrence of this accident, so
be had it two -handled cup made at the
royal potteries and sent it to the inn.
On his next visit he called again for
wine, when, to his aetonishment, the
maid, !laying received instructione
front her mistress to be very careful
of the King's eup presented it to him
by holding it herself by each of the
handles.
At once the idea struck the king that
a cup with three handles was the thing
needed. The idea was promptly acted
upon, foit, as his majesty quaintly said,
"Surely out of three handles I shall be
able to get one." ,' •

ARTIFICIAL ILLUMINATION.
(Harry IL Lewis, in New York Sun)
Experiments and the results obtain-
ed by practical feeders during the
past two years have proved beyond
question that artificial illumination
pays. We have a great deal to learn
yet regarding its limitations, but it
can be safely sadd that any flock of
Pullets or hens housed in the tall can
be made to pay a much greater profit
with no injurious oiled if artificial
illumination is used from the first of
September until the first of April.
It must be remembered that the ob-
ject of illumination is to shorten the
long nights of fall and winter. It is
suggested that morning lights will
probably Prove the most desirable and
they can safely be started somewhere
about 4 o'clock in the morning. The
use of morning lights does not re-
quire dinaming, it gets the birds into
an active condition at the. coldest part
of the night, and at the time when all
animals are at their lowest period of
vitality. Some mai prefer to run the
lights for awhile in the morning and
awhile in the evening, in which case
it is desirable to start them about
4.30 in the morning and keep them on
until daylight, and from dusk until
7.30 in the evening. If electric lights
are used it is a simple matter to have
the lights turned on automatically at
3 of 4 o'clock in, the morning, the
grain feed being given in the litter
after the birds have gone to perch the
night before, and some type of artific-
al water heating appliance being used
to furnish an adequate supply of
wailer. It must be remembered that
the use of artificial illumination will
accomplish no benefits, and possible
Tam if it is not %metal regularly
and if the birds are net provided with
an abundance of feed and drinking
water during the hours in which the
lights are operated. Electric lights are
probably the most desirable, but where
they are not available there are a
number el excellent types of lanterns
which can be purcliased very reason-
ably. Like wise been lanterns with
strong reflectors or with speeially pre-
pared lenses give excellent results.
Don't start lights unless you are will-
ing to give them a fair chance, that is,
great regularity in the time they are
operated and special care of the•birds
during the time they are under lights.
If that is done one can expect an in-
crease of nearly double the production
in eggs, which means, expressed in
dollars and cents, 400 per cent. In-
crease in net returns over the cost of
feed and lights. Results from the use
of artificial illumination show beyond

THE NERVOUS
SCHOOL CHU
Needs filch, Red 'Blood to Regain
Health and Strength. -
Many children start school in ex-
cellent health, but after a snort time
home wore, , examination*, hurried
meals and crowded school rooms
cause their blood to become weak
and thin, their nerves over wrought,
and their color and spirits lost, It is
a great mistake to let matters,. drift
when boys and girls show symptoms
of nervousness or weak blood, They
are almost sure to fall victims of St.
Vitus dance, �r drift into debility that
leeds to other troubles. Reeular
meals, out -door exerciseand plenty
of sleep are necessary to combat the
nervous wear of school life, But it
is still more important that parents
should pay strict attention to the
school child's blood supply. Keep
this rich and red by giving Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills according to direc-
tions, and the boy or girl will be
sturdy and fit for school. The value of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of
this kind is shown by the statement
og Mrs. Pearl' .G. Harrington, King -
sloe, Ont., who says: "I have often
felt that I should write you and let
you know what Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills did for me. Ar the age of thir-
teen I was afflicted with St. Vitus
dance. The trouble became so se-
vere that I had to be taken from
school. I was given medical treat-
ment, but it did not help me, in fact
I was steadily growing wore°. Then
a friend advised my mother to give
me Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, which
she did, with the happlast.results, as
the pills completely cured me, and -1
was again able to take up my studies
and attend sebool. Again about three
years ago I was attacked with nervous
prostratton and once more took Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, and after using
five boxes wesefully restored. I eerie
not praise these pills too 'highly as I
believe they will cure any case of St.
Vitus dance, or restore anyone who
ie weak, nervous or run down."
You can safely give Dr. Williams
Pink Pills to the most delicate child,
or take them yottrself with equally
good results when you need a blood
tonic. These pills are sold. by all
dealers in medicine, or will be sent
by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box
or six boxes for $2.50 by The Dr. Wil-
liams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

a doeitt that it is a practice "Which
must be and will be generally adopted
on all commercial poultry farms. It is
not a forcing practice, it does not barn
up the 41ta1ity of the hen., but it rather
gives her the cliance to develop her
reproductive qualities at an earlier
period. The results of experiments to
date point to the fact that the use of
lights on breeding hens is not harmful
it not overdone. •
ENCOURAGE HENS TO EXERCISE.
During the spring Beeson fowls hav-
ing free range get abundant exercise.'
Close confitiement without exercise is
not conducive to the best resudts, al-
theugh the feed provided may be the
best, for idle hens soon grow too fat
to lay. It is almost impossible to give
laying hens which are confined toe
much exercise. The fowls may be en-
couraged to exercise in various ways,
such as feeding corn on tb.e cob, sus-
pending cabbage heads, beets, ete., so
that the birds have to jump for them,
and,scattering grain in the litter. The
litter should be from four to eight
inches deep, and mey consist of straw
(either cut or wiaole), hay, leaves,
buckwheat hulls, shredded corn fod-
der, or any convenient' material of
this nature. The hens should be kept
`hungry enough so that they will work
diligently all day for the grain scat-
tered in this litter, which should be
removed whenever it becomes dap
or sailed,
MEAT SCRAP NterissAny.
Ono of the most significant facts In
feeding fowls for egg production, as
brought out by experiments at the
Ohio Experimeet Station, is that ra-
tions eentaining approximately 12 per

than 20 per cent., ate increase the egg

Sheffield's firet claim to Zama as an
Englisn city of note is, of course, its
manufactories. But it is intereeting
to recall that ite castle was for twelve
yeare theeerleon of Mary, Queen of
Scots, andAhat before that Cardinal
Wolsey was "entertain,ed" there after
he had fallen into disfavor with his
king., Nothing remains of the eagle
to -day but the ruined walls of the
manor house, A writer in the Ceres-
tian Science Monitor tells of the pre-
sent-day Sheffield.
Tholes who beet now Sheffield, the
home of the "Sheffield blade," in the
West Riding of Yorkshire, are con-
stantlyforced to the admiesion, when-
ever they return to the town, that
Sheffield is not as bad as it looks.
There is, of course, no escaping` the
fact that Sheffield, however it railY
be approached, is "of a terrible ae-
pect." Leede has its ever -hovering
cloud et atiolte, Mancheater, too, in
this respect, is no whit behind; but

rendere the more wonderful the
fact that, once in thee great town of
eutlery, known the world over, the
forbitieling envelope seems to disap-
pear, whilst few townie more quickly
capture even the chance visitor with
the glamor of Its great industry or
the romance of its great trade.
For the "manof imagination," as
he stops to look at the ehining fin-
ished products in the Sheffield shop
windows, inexitsbly recalls the fact
that the town was famous for such
things as these more than. 1,000 years
ago, when the Saxon cutler wrought
hie rude blade in his wattle hlit itt

which, tei-day as then, are:el:es away
to the west.
"A Sheffield thwytel bare he is in
hie hoee," wrote Chaucer, in the 1 our-
teenth century, describing the feller
of the Reeves tale, and the term
`whittle" is still familiar to Sheffield
cutlers. .In Chaucer's day, the straight
Iron blade set le a wooden handle
was held in high eeteem, if it were,
indeed, "right Sheffield." For was

There are numerous instances in
history in 'Which parents posseesing
uncommon gifts are supposed to have
passed them on to their children. This
is especially the case in 4 regard to
musical talents.
The motner of Schumann, for in-
atanoe, had great pmeical ability. Cho-
pin also received his wonderful gift—
andalso his delicate constitution
frets the maternal side; Gounod's
mother wee exceedingly fond of mus-
ic, while the mother of Spohr, the
Geratan composer, was an excellent
judge of music and a fine critic, with-
out being herself a nausician.
Sir Waiter Raleigh declared that he
inherited from his mother that po-
liteness of deportedent which ever dis-
tinguished him. Goethe pays fre-
quent tribute in. his writings to the
character and culture of his mother,
as doe's also the poet Wordsworth.'
.Sydney Smith believed that he In-
herited from his mother his rare con-
versational powers and quickness of
repartee. It is well known that the
mother of Edward Gibbon, the his-
torian, was a great reader and cul-
tivated the same taste and habit as
her eon.
The mother of Charles Darwin made
herself acgaainted with all the
branches of natural history, ap.d en.
tertained a great fondness for animals..
This record seems to show that mater-
nal talents and tastes are frequently
transmitted to sons; it is also claimed
that the gifts of the fathers usually
descend to the datighters.—Tit-leits.

Elizabeth's day a very much larger
world had heard of Sheffield wares.
They figured everywhere in the litera-
ture of the day and in common
speech, and always in terms of high
approval. "Firet, then, 'be the choice
of your peir-knife. a right thheffield
knife is best; a good razor is next,

sixteenth century authority.
It was not that they had a super-
fine finish. Other goods from other
markets were, no doubt, much more
to look at, bet the reputation for ser-
viceability of the Sheffield blade was
thus all the more fairly won. The
knives of the Sheffield craftsmen, as
set forth by the Aet of Incorporation,
in 1629, were "knivee of the beat

town, sending a ease of "Halla,mehire

my peer country affordeth with fame
throughout the realm."
Sheffield, moreover, by this time,
had its Calera' CompanY, and the
London cutlere were beginning to
