The Chinese name for Port Arthur was Lushunkow; the town had, 20 vears ago, only a few thousand inhabitants, and was used as a place-for the deportation of criminals. Fattening ecattle on sugar beet pulp, “heretofore a useless by-product, has proved successful in Colorado. Stockmen are elated, claiming that the results will prove of far-reaching benefit to themselves personally and the state at large as well. The first “bomb outrage’*was con:mitted on Christmas eve, 1800, by .Saint-Nejant, who wished to remove Napoleon, then first consul, in the interest of the royalists. Napoleon escaped, but among his escort and the bystanders there were about 130 casualties. i S

LEARNING THINGS We Are All in the Apprentice Class. When a simple change of diet brings back health and happiness the story is briefly told. A lady of Springfield, 111., says: “After being afflicted for years with nervousness and heart trouble, I received a.shock four years ago that left me in such a condition that my life was despaired of. I could get no relief from doctors nor from the numberless heart and nerve medicines I tried because I didn’t know that the coffee was daily putting me back more than the Drs. could put me ahead. ¢ “Finally at the request of a friend I left off coffee and began the use of Postum and against my convictions I gradually improved in health until for the past 6 or 8 months I have been entirely .free from nervousness and those terrible sinking, weakening spells of heart trouble. “My troubles all came from the use of coffee which I drunk from childhood and yet they disappeared when I quit coffee and took up the use of Postum.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich, o e Many people marvel at the effects of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum but there is nothing marvelous about it—only common sense. = = Coffee is a destroyer—Postum is a rebuilder.

The uses of these houses may well be likened to plant growing. - We guit= frequently start tomatoes and cabbage piants in very small boxes, ‘leaving them there until time to ifransplant to their cold storage frames and later to the field, where they finish their growth. What would we expect these plants to amount to if lelt where the seed was first started? s [t is’ needless to an;wer this question for any sane person/knows. That is just what we do with our chicks when we atttmpt to raise them around the buillings with older fowls. I have these buildings set all over my place, about 100 feet apart. I wish I had room to put them farther apart. After my chicks have reached a certain age they are transferred to these houses, where they are allewed full freedom just as soon as they are old enouglk to know when to g in and out of the rain and storm.

O, no! The girls are wearing them in their hats now! So we ought to supply some domesticated birds to do th= work, and thereby reap a twofold benefit and our fowls would be far healthier for it. ] About eight ‘years ago the grain fields in the neighborhood were being devoured by the army worm. I placed colonies of pullets in my neighbor's fields all about me and the pullels went after the ‘worms as schoolboys would go after a box of strawberries. Such feasting you never saw, and the best part of the bargain was I had to supnly no feed for several weeks. Water and grit was all I had to see to, and such growth I never got before nor since, and eggs commenced ‘o come about 30 days earlier than usual. Furthermore, I received thanks from my surrounding neighbors for saving, at least a portion of their

grain. My colony houses are built of sixinch drop siding; sills, studding and rafters are two by four. Ground plan is six by six feet square, facing south or southeast. five feet high in front, three feet high if rear, with a window, six-lighted, in front and door two feet six inches wide and four feet high at the east side, as shown in the cut. 1t is best to have the window so it can be slid wide open at will and closed as easily. so we can ventilate to meet the changes of the weather. All the furniture that goes with these little houses is two perches, six feet long, made of two- by four scantling, and a brooder and drinking fountain. Each house has a yard to the south 12 feet long. No house is ever complete without- this yard, for when the chicks are first moved to the houses they ar« probably not old enough to be given unlimited range, and it will not do to confine them in their house for it is sure to stunt their growth. If a yard is at hand they can be given the same care and treatment they were accustomed to in the regular brooder house anl we know just where they are. Following this practice the operator is not affected By inclement weather, no matter how severe or wet or windy; all work can be done indoors. Even in our severest Wisconsin winter weather, I have Dbrooded chicks with grand success by this plan. - In building the colony houses some people try to improve over my plaus and build them larger. Don’t do it. It may be all right to build them larger if you are sure you never want to use them in cold weather, but if built larger and nothing but the heat that escapes from the lamp in the brooder to keep it ‘warm it will not be warm enough for your little chieks to enjov a great deal of time outside of their brooder, and we must encourage them to get out as much as possible.—C. BE. Matteson, in Ohio Farmer.

The Marketing of Honey. G. C. Grenier, writing for the Bee Journal, emphasizes the fact that a honey raiser’'s work is but half done when the honey crop is harvested; that the selling of it in a profitable way requires as mpuch brafnwork as anything that has ggme before. A .good honey locality and bees in a proper condition to take adviantage of the honey flow is all that is needed for the first half of the work, but to please patrons'it may be necessary to put the honey in large or small packages, in comb or in liquid or granulated form, and in whatever size or form the honey must be in the best possible condition. -,

Very Wearing on the Sqil. Dr. Richard T. Gottheil, of Columbia univeristy has a broad knowledge of oriental tales and proverbs. One day he told an old Persian story about a pessimistic farmer. “Good friend,” a vigitor said to the farmer, “you are fortunate this year.” He pointed to the heavy and rich grain fields spreading as far as the eye could see. ‘“You can’'t grumble,” he went on, “about your erop this season, eW?” “No,” whined the pessimist, “but a crop like this is terribly wearing on the soil.”

A HINT FOR BEEKEEPERS.

How to Secure Full Service of the Honey-Makers Without Weakening the Colonies.

Apiarist Edwin Bevins claims to have discovered two ways in which laying worker colonies can be disposed of €0 as to .get all the serviee out of the bees that they can render and yet keep the numbers of the colonies up to what it was before. ;

One way is to’ place the hive containing the laying workers over a stroßg colopy with a fertile queen, placing a newspaper with a small hole in it between the two hives, says the New York Farmer. The bees will unite peaceably, and when considerable worker-brood appears in the upper hive the hive can be placed on another stand and the bees will rear a queen from the brood, if the old queen can be introduced about three days after the removal of the hive. i

The other plan involves the taking of a couple of frames of hatching brood from a hive and placing them in another hive over a strong colony, with a frame having a wire cloth nailed to both sides of it between the two hives.

Thus a fertile queen and her escort are released on two combs, and in a few days there will be a nucleus strong enough to take care of the queen. This hive is then set down by the side of the hive holding the laying workers. Every two or three days a frame with the bees must be iransferred from the laying-worker hive to the nucleus. By the time 2!l %at iwo of the frames are placed in $%2 zaw h*ve the queen is at work the.e, ard everything is harmonious.

| As regards the two frames taken to form the nucleus, they can be returned to the places from which they were taken. or these places can be filled by l_the frames remaining unused in the i laying-woerker hive. . | | THE DRAINAGE OF SWAMPS ' Farmers Who Have No Experience in the Work Should Engage Serv- . ices of Engineer. | . There is no general rule to guide in - experienced persons in the draining of | swamp lands.® The quality of swamp | land varies as much as do upland. As ; a general rule here, cranberry and ' moss swamp are not the ones to drain . for agricultural purposes, unless- un-{-derlaid near the surface with well | rotted muck and clay subsoil. Swamps | covered with good timber, not scrub, and all kinds of grass swamps, are al- | most always all right for farming. A good swamp farm well drained is all 'right. Clay subsoil swamps are preferable to sand or hardpan. | . Loose soil should not be drained too " deep the first two or three years, but gradually deepen the drains as the soil settles, which on some swamps is considerable.” Above all' things do not burn’ off the top soil, as such marshes " are nearly ruined, if not quite. 1t is ' true some swamps are ruined by drain- . ing, while others are benefited from -the first. As I said above, it depends | much on the kind and quality. Neighborhoods that have mno experience in such matters would do well to engage the services of an experienced engin--1 eer. As to my own experience as a swamp farmer, will say I have been quite successful, with no reason to

complain. I grow hay, corn, potatoes, vegetables; etc.—George Mutchlor, in Orange Judd Farmer. FINISH FOR A FENCE .END.

The cooked oils were found to be more easily and completely digested than the raw \oils. Fluid oils and soft fats proved more digestible than heavy oils and hard fats. The vegetable oils'were found not to be inferior to animal fats as heat producers, and to be equal or superior in dpgestibility. The effect of an increase in the melting point of a fat on the percentage of digestibility became less as the meltng point approached or rose above the temperature of the body. _ The Calf for Baby Beef. . The calf that is to be used for the making of baby beef must be kept growing from the start. If the calf cannot be so fed on skim milk that its growth will not be checked, then it should have whole milk till weaning time. A slow-growing animal is of little valuz to be used as a basis for the production of this kind of beef that is now becoming so popular. The calf must be carefully weaned. It will not do to take it off a full feed of milk and put it onto grain and rougha;e at once. This process must be so gradual that the calf will not realize it when its milk is finally witiheld.—Farmers’ Review. =

And he came. thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the woird of the I.ord came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? 10. And he said, ! have been very jealous for the I.ord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken Thy coverant, thrown down Thine altars, agd slain Thy prophets with the sword; und‘l'; evenlonly, am left; and they seek mylife, to take it away. 11. And he said, Go forih, and stand upon the mouni before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountaing, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind arn earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12. And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not'in the fire: and afier the fire a stiil smail voice. ! 13. And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. ‘And, kehold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Eiijah? 14. And he said, T have been very jealous for the Lord &God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forSBaken Thy covenant, thrown down Thine altars, ard siain Thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I oniy, am -left; and they seek my life, to take 1t away.

Comparing Scripture with Scripture

The Place.—" Came thither unto a cave,” in the Mount of God, the place where God appeared to Moses in the flaming bush (Ex. 3:1-2) and the place where Israel had received the law (Ex. 19:1-2.) A place hallowed by sacred memories, and yet not the place for Elijah,as God’s twice repeated question and His command: “Go, return on thy way,” prove. Elijah spent over 40 precious days in getting alone with God, when he might have found Him :in Israel May not the prophet have erred as the Samaritan woman did who soughttoengage Jesus in argument about Mount Gerazim as the only place to find God and to worship? John 4:20. How many weary days the discouraged Christian often spends in getting alone with God. Elijah made up his mind he would go to Sinai to meet God, and the Christian often foolishly fixes place and time for meeting God and spends weary daysin finding Him.—Acts 17:27, Ps. 145:18.

It Was the Place of Heart Searching. —(1) God Became the Examiner. Jer. 17:10. The prayer of the Psalmist should be our prayer. Ps. 139:23-24. But we must submit. Jas. 4:7. Then God will reveal true conditions to us. Phil, 3:15. “What doest thou here, Elijah?” is the question God often has to ask uss (2) God Became the Teacher. The Christian often makes a long journey of it to God’s school, evén as did Elijah. But it is a blessed place to come. John 14:26; 16:13; L Cor. 2:12. God sought to turn Elijah’s thoughts away {rom celf. It took the rock-rending winds; the mountain-moving earthquake, and the fierce fire to turn Elijah’s thoughts to Ged. Oh, how hard it is to bring the soul to listen to God. How God has to almost strip us naked, and afflict us sore, before we will turn {from self to Him.

1t Was the Place of Encouragement. —llt was humiliating to Elijah to realize that his boast of standing alone for God was 7,000 below the true number, but surely he was rejoiced and encouraged to know how many faithful ones there were. Do you ever feel you stand alone for God? Get away in His school, and tet Him give you the correct census. Alone! Never, for Jesusisever present, Matt. 28:20; He is ever working with us, Mark 16:20; by His Holy Spirit, John 16:'(-11. ! It Was the Place of Fresh Commission. —When Elijah fled from Jezebel he lost his commission. * He needed ‘it renewed. The runaway servant of God generally loses his commission, and it is only as we get alone with God that we may receive reappointment in the Lord’s work. God’s first word to Elijah was: “Go, return on thy way.”* Elijah must be (1) ‘submissive to God’'s will. (2) Obedient to His command; God made Elijah retrace his steps, and many a Christian has to do this very thing before he can do God’swork. Ittakessubmission and consecration and obedience to do this. And when Elijah was ready to go back; when his spirit of self importance had been subdued; when he was wholly given to God’s wijl; when he was eager to obey, then Ged revealed His plans for him. i

Filipinos at St. Louis World’s Fair | Wonderful Mfiéic Rendered Daily by Islanders on'Plaza of Philippine Building. :

HERE are someé people who still assert that the United ) States obtained nothing, Y through the annexation of =2 the ‘Philippines. but a lot of naked savages. In spite of the government’s display at the World’s Fair, which shows. in addition to the four wild tribes, the refined Vicayans with their beautiful fabrics and their delicate embroeideries, the loyal brown soldiers ‘of Uncle Sam and the cultured ‘commissioners and officials, there are some purblind individuals who refuse to see that the Filipino is anything but a nuisance and a 4 menace to our country.

That he could be capable of civilization ‘and uplifting seems utterly ridiculous to—those who have studied him? No, to the class who dare not visit the Philippine reservation at the World's Fair for fear of being convinced against their will. That a great many or the natives of the islands could already be cultured and refined would be set down as utterly preposterous by this class. =

The soreheads need not be bound and carried by violence across the fac: simile Bridge of Spain, through the Walled City to the heart of the most wonderful section of the entire exposition. They should only be enticed to listen for an hour to the playing of the Constabulary band. No man with an ounce of appreciation in his soul could hear that band without being convinced that the 81 men who com pose its .membership are far above the ordinary in both intelligence and sentiment. A nation or a race may be judged by its music. A mnatural feeling- for rhythm and harmony is not an attribute of a chaotic or unbalanced mind. It is discord that leads the way to senseless vandalism and causeless rebellion. .

In behalf of the Filipino it mus® be said that he' is a natural musician. Even the savage head-hunters, in their peculiar tribal dances, manifest a remarkable feeling for rhythm. There is mone of -the Indian’s wild noise and broken time in their beating of brass tomtoms and their somewhat monotonous singing. They possess the musical instinct that, with time and training, may be developed into just what the members of the two Philippine bands already possess. The Scout band is an exceptionally good military band, such as we have heard before.. The Constabulary band is in a class by itself. ‘lt is not to be compared with any of the other exposition bands. Its concerts are held daily in the large bandstand in the Philippine plaza. and those who have heard one concert will gladly forsake the most interesting exhibit and wallk the entire distance from the heart: of the grounds to the reservation in or der to hear another. :

The men who compose the constabulary and who have done so much to promote law and order in the islands are to be distinguished from the natives in the regular army by their uniforms. The military Filipino wears the blue of the American soldier. The

BANANA A PROMINENT FOOD Long Regarded as a Luxury by Ng tives of Tropics—Bread and Coffee Facts. Long regarded only as luxury for children or proper food for the darkskinned natives of the tropics, the banana has advanced to a place of prominence as a great food product: The United States and other great nations having colonies in the tropics have been investigating the food value of the banana and the results obtained are sogsatisfactory that the nutritious banana is taking its place as a staple food among all civilized nations. To overcome all objections, the banana has been especially dried and prepared for food by making it into a fine flour out of which bread is made, and ‘other process turns the soft mushy banana into a wholesome coffee, i

The St. Louis Exposition is being used by the manufacturers of banana bread and banana coffee to introduce this new food to the world. Now this nutritious bread and coffee are served daily to visitors in the Palace of Agriculture, as one of the many object lessons in. food at the World’s Kair.

Many Varieties of Potatoes. Three hundred and fifty varieties of Irish potatoes, big and little, are exhibited in the New York section of the Palace of Agriculture at the World’s Fair. The specimens are the result of cross breeding of standard types. Features in Food and Drink. The World’s Fair is full of new things, new atures and interesting experiments in e way of food M drink. Prominen ng t beverages introduced at the Exposition are banana coffee and prune -coffee. At one of the California county exhibits in the Palace of Agriculture the prune coffee is furnished by the county, to teach the public the value of this experiment as a pleasfnt heverage. The banana coffee is served in the same building, but at a different exhibit, the purpose being to show the wox‘lerful food value of the banana. Ancient Chinese Drums. A number of old bronze drums have been placed on exhibition in the great Chinese section of the Palace of Liberal Arts at the World’s Fair by the Chinese government, which on account of their antique appearance and peculiar shape are attracting much attention there. They are shaped like a huge bowl, with cover, and are of’ golid bronze, ornamented with crude relief decorations of animals. Several of these drums are believed to he at least 1,000 years old. S

members of the eivil police force wear the khaki. It is these little men in yellow attire who have come to the World’s Fair to show Americans what we, as a nation, have really acquired as’ an accidental result of Admiral Dewey's spectacular vietory. - -The members of the“ Constabulary band were all finished musicians before Lieut. Loving, their leader, took them in hand. Each one was an artist in-his own line, and all of them har seen service in the military bands of the Spanish regime. However, there was a tremendous task for the bandmaster. The men possessed execution without idea. They could read notes faultlessly, and cdould keep perfect time; but that is omly a small part of concerted playing. = Naturally quick to cateh new ideas, they soon grasped the meaning of the “attack,” on which the effect of a band’s work so largely depends. Then they learned all the mysteries of shading, from the most delicate tone to the most “powerful crescendo, and it is in this that their playing is so marvelous. In the tender, sympathetic passages of a selection t.ie tone is subdued to the most exquisite murmur, from which it rises, without a crash and without a blare, sweeping majestically upward and onward, -until the enraptured listener is engulfed iln a mighty billow of sound. Nothing could be more inspiring than the burst of melody in such a climax as that which occurs in the sextette of Lucia, and no baud ever handled its climaxes better.

In the most powerful tone, there is not the slightest suggestion of brassiness. It is all liguid music. This is due almost wholly to the instrumentation, which is absolutely faultless. More than half the instruments are reeds, and instead of .the large number of saxaphones, the instrumentation includes four sarrusaphones and two sousaphenes. Moreover, the clarinets are not used merely for accompaniment, but actually carry the second voice.

‘The music produced: is not simply that of a brass band, but is varied for effect -to _resemble strings, human voices and even the pipe organ. Among the players there are several excellent violinists, and the personnel of the band is sometimes rearranged into, an orchestra of <0 men and also | into a guitar glee club. ~ The leader, Lieut. Loving, is a native of St. Panl, and a graduate of the New England conservatory of mausic. To his genius and devotion much of the success of the Constabulary band is due. * Would that every American citizen might listen to one of his matchless srogrammes, drink in all the harmony and all the splendor of the best band in the United States, yes. and stay to the close. The close is the most impressive part.of the concert. No one could listen to the playing of “The Star Spangled Banner” by that band of Filipinos, the pavilion surrounded Iby other Filipinos, their hats over their hearts and their heads bowed, and ldoubt that they are loyally American.

COFFEE DISPLAY EXTENSIVE South and Central America Exploit Their Great Product—Porto Rico Represented. The value of the St. Louis Exposition as an advertising institution and school of instruction is fully appreciated by the great coffee growing countries of South and Central America. These countries are showing their coffees to the thousands of World’'s Fair visitors and creating new demands -for the better varieties produced, which now find a market at home or in England and Germany. The countries claim as great merit for their high grade coffees as is possessed by the famous Mocha and Java, and they seek to give the public an object lesson in the wuse of coffee. Brazil serves coffee every afternoon to all visitors at the Brazil building, free of charge. in order that they may sample a better grade of Rio. i Porto Rico also has an -extensive coffee exhibit, with the hope ‘of promoting a larger trade with its niew ‘mother country. : P Pygmies Discard Tents for Huts "~ The Pygmies from Africa at the World’s Fair’ became tired of living in the tent provided for them and have built themselves small huts of saplings, covered with grass and rushes. In order to give the huts the proper dimensions, a novel system of measurement was employed. The corner poles were stuck in the ground and the architect then lay down on his stomach, stretching out both arms to see if the hut would t;e large enough. ' Organ Recitals Daily. Five regular recitals are now given each day upon the large mechanical organ in the splendid Prench section of the Palace of Liberal Arts at the World's Fair.
