Poor Railway Service Menace the Poftltlon of Working People. Tumultuous scenes were witnesed at the Saint-Lazare terminus of the Western railway of France Saturday, Jan. 4, when, exasperated by the continuous delays in the suburban train serrico, some 3.(i0 belated travelers, mostly season ticket holders, completely lost their tempers and literally sacked the huge station, says the New York Herald's Paris edition. For a long time past there has been growing discontent at the Increasing irregularity of the Yestern Railway Company's services, of late years Parisians, especially of tbe employe and artisan classes, have taken to living in the suburbs. Within a decade thousands and thousands of acres of land bare been built upon in the district served by this railway and land values have enormously increased. Parisians have favored the western side of Taris as a residential quarter because the Saint-Lazare station is the most handy for reaching the central tlistricts of the capital. The one drawback to this development, however, has been the unpunctual and irregular train service. The people who have gone to reside In the suburbs mostly have to be at work or business by specified hours, and the delays have led to much trouble and friction between employes and masters, who have in some cases become tired of the ever recurring excuse of "train late" and have told their employes that they must live elsewhere than on the Western line or low? their positions.

THEY GROW Good II am or and Cbeerf nlnees from ' Right Food. Cheerfulness Is like sunlight. It dispels the clouds from the mind as sunlight chases away the shadows of night. The good humored man can pick up and carry efl a load that the man with a grouch wouldn't attempt to lift. Anything that interferes with good health is apt to keep cheerfulness and good humor in the background. A Washington lady found that letting coffee alone ;made thlugs bright for her. She writes: "Four years ago I was practically given up by my doctor and was not expected to live long. My nervous system was in a bad condition.

On every farm where grain Is raised and T.'here intensive methods have become Imperative the oed drill shou: be used for a-Il the small grrlns. Nr.t only is less seed re-quired where tie drill Is used, but by sowing the soh1 at an even depth and in moist soil a better and more uniform stand of graii? is secured. Experiments conducted by the Illinois experiment station howed that an Increase in yield of frim five to seven bushels per acre was fecured on plots of ground where the drill was used. A liUrseryman writes that he considers the common mole one of his bst frlenfls and never thinks of killing ona of the liltle fellows.

At certain intervals the mother will come back and jump over this wire fence and rvmain with the kid long enough for it to feed, when she will Jump out and join the flock. In other ranches the kid is tied to a stake, and the mother will return to it, the same as when It !s in a corral. If left to run with the flock, the kid. while it Is but a few days old. will fall asleep and Income lost. The strange thing about the mother goat is that she will always remember the last place she saw her kid. and will yo there. Rut if it sleeps awhll and la disturbed. It is lost." Sonic rotaihillticft of Alfalfa. Professor I). II. Otis of the College of Agriculture of the University of Wisconsin has just concluded a serie? of experiments with alfalfa as a fee for dairy cows. He finds that young cows not ghing milk can be kept In good condition during the winter and gain firm 1.2Ö to 1.5 pounds per day when fed nothing but alfalfa hay. Speaking further of the value of alfalfa as a ration, he states that, with an average yield of four tons, alfalfa will produce SS0 pounds of digestible protein per acre, to supply which In th? form of oil meal would require 1.3 to.s, which at present prices would cost $."2.00. A summary of the feeding trials which were conducted showed that alfalfa could be made to take the place of ,at least one-half of the grain usually fed to dairy cows. ThS cash returns from feeding alfalfa at the different experiment stations range from $10 to $20 per ton. Professor Otis states in closing his report that, with a yield of four tons per acre, a conservative estimate would indicate that the Wisconsin dairy farmer would be able to increase his profits from 50 to 75 per cent by the lileral yet judicious use of alfalfa grown upon his own farm. ! Sellins: the liena. the first cost of the hen, that or raisrnjf her from the egg to maturity, must lo paid back before the hen can give a I profit, and this cost must be auieu to Mh a second scar. It is a fact that the ht?i hersell? can be sold and the cost returned, iut the longer she is kept thf cost of the first year is divided for every year she Is on the farm. It is th'.e first ost of the hen. that is so frequently overlooked, that makes the profit turn to a loss. A hen will last a long time if she is properly cared for, and for egg-producing purposes there Is no necessity of selling off a hen just as soon as sh? begins to lay nicely arid regularly. A hen in her second or third year is quite young, and the chicks hatched from her eggs are usu- & stronger than those hatched from tLe first eggs or the pullets, ir tne nens r.:e killed oft every second year there will soon bo u decrease In the vitality yf the stock, especially if the esss from the hens are handed down year after jur and used for hatching purposes. Keep the liens until they are 4 years 'M, and the result will be tetter layers, iitrongcr chicks, and still you will have the pric of the hen when she is sold. To Forerant the "Weather. A misty moon indicates rain the mor1 row or after. When the temperature suddenly falls there is a storm coming from the South. When the temperature suddenly rbe there is a storm forming north of you. Whenever heavy white frosts occur a storm Is forming within 1,000 miles north or northeast of you. When small whirlwinds of dust form in road or plowed land it is an indication of heavy showers soon. When leaves of bushes and trees turn In the wind, remaining so, a wet season or sudden rainfall may be expected. While a rosv sky at sundown indicates fair weather, as well as a gray sky in the morning, the opposite condition usually means rain. Fleecy and delicate clouds are indications of fine weather, with moderate breezes. Rolled and ragged clouds are Indications of strong winds. A rising barometer foretells less wind or rain, a falling barometer more wind or rain. A high barometer Indicates fine weather, low barometer bad weather. Dew and fog Indicate fair weather. When the atmosphere near the horizon I very clear, causing distant objects to appear nearer than usual, It is an indication of rain. When cirrus clouds are moving rapidly from the south or southwest there will be a cold hailstorm on the morrow if it be in summer, and if in winter there will lte.i snowstorm. Cumulus clouds always move from a region where a storm is in progress.

FLORIDA SPONGE DIVING.

A firowlnc Industry in "Which Creck. Chiefly Arc Employed. The sponge industry at Tarpon Springs, on the west coast of Florida, has assumed large proportions within the past few years. There were in ?omm:ssion at Tarpon Springs last October 400 siKnge boats, employing 1,200 hands, Alout 10 per cent of the speng?rs are Greeks, who have been in the ousincss all their lives and are the most exjK-rt divers in the world. A great many have brought their families to this country to live, and at Tarpon Springs they have settled in the east side of the city, where their homes and places of business are typical of Greece. They also wear their Grecian clothes and sieak their native tongue. The common laborer on the sponge boats receives from $50 to $00 per month, the divers getting from $2W to $01-0 in the same period. The sponge loat is from 00 to 40 feet long and of great beam for its length. Most of these loats were brought from Greece, and are staunchly built. There are nho a number of schooners which go .vi;k the fleets to furnish provisions and carry sponges from the smaller boats. Every boat has one or more divers, A lio have a complete diving outfit, with 10-iound lead soles on each shoe, also a heavy lead weight on the chest and back. The diver carries no weapon of any kind, being provided only wit'i a sponge bag. The diver after putting on his suit is lowered over the side of the boat and to the bottom. As he walks along far under the surface he is followed by the boat above, in which is a pump that keeps him supplied with air. Sponges are gathered from the bottom of the gulf in from 50 to 150 feet of water. Tbe diver will stay down hours at a time, and as fast as a bag is liilcd it is hoisted to the surface and an empty one sent down. As is generally known, the sponge is. an animal. There ere many different kinds, but only three, the silk, wool and grass sponges, have commercial value. After being taken from the water they are left on the decks of the vessels in the sun for a time, to die before they are thrown into the kraals. These kraals or pens are made by driving stakes in the sand a little ways apart so that the ebb and fiow of the tide may wash out and in to remove all animal matter. After remaining in the kraals for a time, this being dependent on the season, as sponges die much faster in the summer thau winter, the spongers get in among them and mash, scrajK? and clean the animal matter off. They are then strung in bunches about five feet long, and taken to the spougc packing houses, where they go through the last process of cleaning, and are sized and graded according to quality. They are then packed in bales of 10, 15 and 20 pounds, and shipped to all parts of the world. In purchasing the sponges representatives of the various' jobbing houses meet at th siouge exchange and all the sponges belonging to oue man or firm are piled in a heap on the floor. Each representative examines the pile and writer his bid on a blank and gives it to the secretary of the exchange. When all bids are in, the secretary opens them and shows the owner of the siongcs the highest If the price is satisfactory the pile Is sold. These sales are held on Tuesday and Friday of each week, during the season, which runs from Ozt. 1 to June 1. In Tarpon Springs there are eight large packing houses preparing sponges for the market. Last season $750,000 was paid for sponges by representatives of jobbing houses In all parts of the United States and Europe, and this seaün"s harvest will show a large Increase. SIBBEIL LUDINGTON'S RIDE An incident of the Revolutionary War, as deserving of its place in iopular memory as Paul" Revere's ride, is. recorded in the Journal of American History. Col. Henry Ludington, while a mere loy, during the French ir.d Indian War, was deta'led to escort a company of invalid soldiers from Canada to Roston. This ieriIous duty and journey through the wilderness, undertaken In the dead of winter, was one of almost Incredible hardship, but the gallant youth successfully accomplished the task assigned to him. His daughter afterward showed that she was equally daring and courageous. Washington selected Col. Ludington as an aide-de-camp at the battle of White Plains, and afterward complimented Mm for his gallant conduct and soldierly bearing. The Rritish expedition, consisting of 2,000 men. set cut to destroy the stores and munitions cf war collected at Daubury, Conn., reached tbat place Saturday, April 20, 1777. The guard, too small for protection nd too weak for active resistance, withdrew. Preparations were immediately made to harass the enemy. A messenger was dispatched to Col. Ludington to summon him to aid in the defense. The members of Col. Ludington's regiment were at thtr homes, which were miles apart and scattered over a wide territory. To summon them was no easy task. There was no one ready to do It. Sibboll, the young daughter of Col. Ludington. a girl of 10, volunteered to undertake the service. She mounted her horse, equipped with a man's saddle, and galloped off on the road In the dead of i.Ight. The next morning by breakfast time the regiment had taken up the line of march and was in rapid motion toward Danbury, twenty miles distant. Too Late. Marshall P. Wilder, the noted humorist, told a stuttering story at a usn11 er in Chicago. "I hate stuttering stories as a rule." he said, "but this oue is rather good. It is about two blacksmiths, both stutterers. The first snatched a red-hot lump of iron from the forge, rushed w ith it to the at vil, and then began this eoiiversation : "N-n-ow th-th-then, st-strike! Ququiekiy 1' 'Y-w-wkere shall I s-s-trike?' "M-j-just at the end. 11-h-hurry up.' " Tli-th-this end?' "'Yes, of c-c-course. Mind you hit s-s-straight.' "'All r-r-right. N-n-now Shall I ,M-iot h'.n- g g-goV N-n-, you f-f-fool, iiie iron's c-c-cold. Suiuetiiiii-t It 1m n't. I used to spend two hours begging a. girl for a kiss." "Well?" "Now I take the kiss and put in the two hours apologizing, if that much time be necessary."

FEED BABY WHAT IT WANTS.

It L.et Aon Know l'nmlstaknbly When It ecl Food. "A baby knows when he wants to cot. and is provided with an excellent ami most musical apparatus for conveying that fact to your apprehension," 8-iys Dr. Woods Hutchinson, in the Woman's Home Companion. "He knows what he wants, and will reject vigorously what doesn't suit him. And you may be nire that he knows far letter than most adults when he has had enough. "This faculty is present from his very earliest appearance upon the stage of life. During the first three days of his existence the healthy baby cries but little and sleeps almost constantly; and we have now discovered that during this period lie not only requires no food, but is iK'tter off without it. He is still digesting and living ujkiu the nourishment in his blood derived from the veins of his mother, and until that process is completed, food in his little stomach is a foreign body. In fact, the impression that colic or 'colickiness in a baby is a natural characteristic is chiefly due to the senseless insistence of .officious nurses and anxious mothers upon crowding things into the baby's stomach during his first three days. There is another clear indication on the part of Nature of this fact, if we had only been ojnm minded enough to see it, in that there is no natural supply of nourishment for the child until the close of these three days. The horrible things that are poked into the unfortunate baby's mouth in order to correct this stupid oversight on the part of Nature and keep it from, starving to death would almost stagger credulity. "His faculty of knowing what he wants in the way of food is equally to be trusted. He is largely a creature of circumstances here, and if what he really Jikes doesn't hapicn to be offered him, he of course can indicate no preference for it. He vastly prefers Nature's own source of nourishment, and is a thousand times justified in his preference. Nature has taken a quarter of a million years in fitting a cow's milk to grow not a baby, but a calf, and a mother's milk to grow a baby, and we cannot expect to completely reverse the process in one generation. Not only is the natural supply a far better food, but it is infinitely freer from risks o contamination and the conveyance of disease." COMMENCING SUNDAY, IAPRIL 26.

It is something to have people observing the things in their gardens and barnyards.'
