L iberal feeding of inferior live stock, it was shown, was not as great a fac- tor in increasing .the labor income as vas the use of pure bred sires.

Music. is the most romantic, as well ae :the most fascinating of the arts. ' Looking back over musical history, it is interesting. to. note that many of the new roads that have been broken towards the temples of melody have been constructed by mere children: Mozart was a composer at eight, and the works.he wrote at that age live to this day. Before this wonder -child of music was five he could play several nrinuetes, which he mastered in ; un- der half an hour, as is recorded, in his father's diary. The lives of the great :composers have sometimes been hedged about .by .difficulties. Handel's father was a barber -surgeon, who actually disliked music. This dislike was carried to Such an extent. that he objected to his eon having any musical toy.

The poet Browning, Prof. William Lyon Phelps tells us in. Scribner's Magazine, was as impulsive as Roose-. velt. He could never speak of his wife with calmness. To illustrate his feeling about her, says Professor Phelps, Lady Ritchie, the daughter of Thackeray, told nie this story. There was a rumor that Browning was going to marry again, and in his absence she mentioned it. ' The next day Browning heard of it in a way that .made him suppose she had orig- inated the fable. - That' 'night they met at a large dinner, and he was as- signed to take her out to the dining room. She greeted him In their cus- tomary friendly manner, took his arm and then to- her amazement found that but -would not speak to her, b t almost spiked.her with his elbow every time she turned toward'him. At dinner he devoted himself ex- clusively clusively to the lady on the eft, and if Anne Thackeray spoke to him he made no'reply. When the ladies with- drew she asked- one of them whether Robert Browning had gone mad. "Why, don't you' know ?"' was the re- ply. "He heard that you started a story of a second marriage, and he will never forgive you." That state of affairs continued for months. They •constantly met at din-. ner parties, but he ignored her. In the following summer she, Browning and .his. most intimate friend, the Frenchman Milsand, were staying in the same town in Normandy. One day Milsand turned on Browning and told him that he was behaving outrageous- ly, that Anne Thackeray had never meant any harm, had merely repeated what she had heard and was now heartbroken. Browning was smitten with contrition; he immediately start- ed running at full speed to the oppo- site end of the town where Miss Thackeray lodged. He musf have been a curious spectacle. for he was short and heavy and -not used to running. "I was sitting in the window of the second story in a despondent mood, Lady Ritchie told me, "when I saw Browning running violently toward my lodging. I rushed downstairs and leaped' into his arms; we both cried together and had a lovely time." The Ritz-Carlton j +atlantic City Newrer ey H ote1 America's Smartest Resort Hotel. .

A new weapon of offensive and de- fensive warfare has been developed in the form of a "death rocket" designed to throw out a flaming shower of molten metal, miles above the earth's surface. The inventor is Mr. Ernest Welsh, of North Ferriby, Yorks, England, and his experiments with medium-sized rockets are said to have proved that and can ignite any object within that region. The experimental rockets, it is claimed, can climb to a height of five miles. The rocket contains a destructive charge of seven hundred pellets, a re- gulating 'charge, a detonator, and a propelling :charge. When it is to be sent aloft, It' rests in a diagonal. launching cradle, somewhat similar to those used for ordinary sky -rockets.'' When the fuse is ignited, the propell- ing charge sends the rocket soaring out of its cradle. Thereafter, at regu- lar intervals, it iS given fresh impetus bythe bursting of additional charges. For use as defense against raiding aircraft, the inventor says that bat- teries of the rockets could be shot up wards in the form of a barrage. The pellets burn theinseIhes out quickly, so that the rockets could be used over a city, When doubts assail you, clear; your mind—think - Progressively ---and act accordingly. Wisdom From Araby.

MADE HER BABY PLUMP AND WELL Nothing makes a mother more grateful than a benefit conferred upon her child. Mothers everywhere who have used Baby's Own. Tablets for their children speak in enthusiastic terms of them. For instance, Mrs. Zepherin Lavoie, Three Rivers, Que., writes:—"Baby's Own Tablets are a wonderful medicine for little ones. They never fail to regulate the baby's stomach and bowels, and make him plump and well. I always keep a box of the Tabets in the house and would advise all mothers to do likewise." Most of the ordinary ailments of child- hood arise in the stomach and bowels, and can he quickly baniehed by Baby's bwn Tablets. These Tablets relieve constipation and indigestion, break up colds - and simple fevers, expel worms, allay teething pains and pro- mote healthful sleep.

The possibilities are that a man standing directly under a storm cloud would be sstruck by lightning fifteen times in one hundred strokes while a man flat on the ground would be struck only once in a hundred strokes. The figures apply only if the man is iso- lated. The chance that a thunder cloud of a sufficient voltage to cause a dis- charge will be over a particular ob- ject is small, and thus the likelihood of any particular, object being struck is very slight indeed.

A pig belonging to an English ferzics• er was sold to a dealer who lived eight miles away. The morning after the sale the pig reappeared in its old sty, having escaped from its new quarters during the night. The homing instinct is stronger in the pig than in most animals. An In. stance similar to the above occurred at Reading, where a pig traveled .four- teen miles back to its old home, after being sold in a local market. Darwin believed the pig capable of developing the sagacity of a dog. For example, a sow belonging to an Eng- lish game keeper, was trained to hunt game, at which it became more expert* than most pointers. The fame of this animal spread far and wide, and tempting offers were made to buy it. Records show that pigs in. former • days were often used as beasts of burs den, while there is at.least one well authenticated instance of a pig being employed for rounding up sheep. Per- haps the most curious use to which the species has ever been put was to draw a carriage for an eccentric Vic- torian nobleman. Perfectly Natural to Them.
