the policemen, and raised it to put the

soon as the lightning begins to play, 1
ho says it breaks him all up, and that
lie is as afraid of it as a child. He
seeks covor and doesn’t come out until
the storm is over.
There is a well-attesteil story of an
officer of the Army of the Potomac
who won great renown for bis personal
courage. In every action of conse
quenco his post was iu the heart of
(lunger, and it was noticed no matter
how thickly the bullets were flying he
sat his horse in apparent disregard of
t'nem and never moved, even when the
enomy’s fire seemed concentrated upon
him. It wasn’t until twenty years
after the war was over that he con
feased that thc secret of liia apparent
indifference to danger lay in the fact
that he was so badly scared each time
that lie didn’t dare to move for fear
of running against, some bullets.
Another man xvhose nerve gave out
was Arch. Haviland. He was a harbor
and river pilot. He had shown that
his nerves were all right upon the oc¬
casion when ho was taking a tug down
the harbor and she sank. It xvas in
tho middle of winter. Tho roof of the
pilot house floated to the surface and
Haviland got partly upon this. The
tide was going out when the tug sank
and it drifted the pilot-house roof and
tho pilot out past Sandy Hook. Havi¬
land was about three miles out at sea
wheu ho was picked up. No one
would pretend that this was a pleasant
experience, but Haviland kept right
on piloting, and in course of time got
a berth ou au East River ferryboat.
These are considered pretty snug
berths, and all Haviland’s friends were
surprised wheu a few months after he
got the place he gave it up.
“What did you give up that place
for? his friends asked wonderingly.
“I couldn’t stand it, ’ said Havi
land. “Every time I crossed the East
River, with its whirling eddies and
swift currents 1 knew that I took the
lives of my passengers in my hands,
The more 1 thought of it the more it
worried me, and I just threw up the
place to set my mind at ease.
In comparison with these cases it
may be interesting to consider an iu
stance of remarkable nerve. It oc
curred a few years ago when the school
for firemen iu this city xvas estab
lished and the men of the Fire De
partment were being trained in the
use of the sealing ladders and the fire
nets. The man who trained the fire
men told the incident without ap¬
parently thinking it au act much out
of the common.
“Wo began to use the fire nets,” he
said, “from the first-story windows.

would come up and follow me in the

height, and also from the second and
third story windows. We went ux> a

peeped out of the window to see if
everything was all right. The men
were all in their places. I didn’t dare
to get up ou the window sill, as I had
done on the floors below. It might
make them nervous. So I just took
one more peep to see if everything
was still nil right, put one hand on
the sill and vaulted out. I came down
all right, and every man made the
iumn after me.
“i’ko nets ain't much good to the
general pmblic,” continued the trainer,
“but vou have no idea of how much
value they are to the discipline of the

married men with families, and it

The Street Life ol Naples.
The commonest people of Naples
seldom buy anything from the stores
or shops, but patronize peddlers and
street-hawkers almost exclusively,
At thc portable kitchen-booths a bill
of fare is offered to the hungry way
farer that is laughingly reasonable in
price and varied in kind. Besides the
ever-present macaroni, the principal
articles of food are the frutti di mare,
“sea-fruits,” including mussels, poly¬
pi and sea-spiders, all regarded as
most tempting delicacies by the ever
hungry lazzarone. Then there are
roasted fishes of all kinds, maize
dumplings, so-called spighe, and
finally, the national meat-foocl called
braccinole, which is really a dump¬
ling or cake made of lamb-meat and
lard. Snail soup is another delicacy,
as well as cheese with bacon (la pizza).
Like all southerners the Neapolitans
show a marked fondness for sweets of
all kinds, and they would be quite lost
without their portion of struffoli, a
rather tough cake, made principally appeals
of honey. Then nothing to
the lazzaroni appetite so insidiously as
the famous Easter-cake of Cassatello,
which is sprinkled most temptingly
with fluid pork-fat. and iu which
whole eggs are baked, shell and all—
a questionable dainty to uneducated
palates.
The lazzaroni women are seldom
beautiful, and generally not even
pretty. They are usually poorly
built, with swarthy complexions and
irregular features. Now and then one
finds a lustrous pair of eyes of great
beauty—but rarely. The Neapolitan
women aie not to be compared with
the women of the country as seen in
Rome and in the Campagna. whose
trim figures, graceful movements and
frequently eharmingly fascinating
faces so often greet the eye of the
traveler. Their fulness of form,
proud bearing and fine profiles are all
conspicuously absent in the wives of
the lazzaroni. And how could it xvell
be otherwise? Are they not “beasts
of burden” for “beasts of burden?”
Are the facchini, by reason of their
occupation, much more than this?—

DITCHES FOR A SWAMP.
At first it is desirable to make open
ditches for the drainage of a swamp, hLs
and to use them until the surface !

cess of water drains from the land
down to the level of the bottoms of the

stripper’s milk.
The longer cows arc in milk the
richer in fat it becomes. But Profes
sor Cooke found that this depended
upon whether the cow was in calf or
farrow. In the case of t’he cow with
calf the milk grew richer in fats as
she til she approached dried the off. calvijlg WWi period the farrow un¬
was
cow, however, the ^ shrii.*.ge of milk
was accomp inie no increase of fat
content.
In this connection it may be inter¬
esting to state another fact which
nearly all discerning dairymen will
understand. While the milk of the
stripper cow grows richer it grows, in
a sense, poorer in quality. That is, it
becomes reduced in the main to the
thin basic fats of milk, stearine,
palmatine and olein, with a marked re¬
dundance of the first two. The finer
flavoring oils such as butryine,
capraine, etc., peem to be taken out,
and it is affirmed ttfe that they contribute
very largely to growth of the brain
and nervous system of the feetus. This
view of the case seems to be supported
by the old and well understood fact
that fresh cow’s milk is much better
for infants, young children and people
afflicted with nervous prostration.
There is a great deal that is valuable
for the dairyman to learn in this deep
mystery of maternity and the laws
which, govern the function of milk
giving, as well as the effects of milk
indigestion. Nearly the sole object of
milk is for food, and the producer of
it should be as wise if not wiser con¬
cerning it than the consumer, for he
alone governs the character of it.—
Hoard’s Dairyman.
FEATHER-EATING A HABIT.
Experience teaches me, writes A.
F. D., in the New York Tribune, that
feather-eating is merely a habit which
fowls get in when eating soft food.
The fowls get the food on their bills,
throw their heads to clean their bills,
and thus get the food on their feath¬
ers. Fowls pick at everything that
looks like eatables; so when they have
cleaned their platter they clean one
another’s feathers, and as there is
more food o-- their heads than else¬
where, th'j^'pick there for the food
and thus pick the feathers. One spring
I bought some eggs of a neighbor
whose hens picked feathers so badly
that their heads and necks were bare
and often bleeding. This neighbor
always feeds soft food once a day. I
attributed the feather-eating to the |
soft food clinging to their feathers i
and set the eggs regardless of conse
quences. I had a fine lot of chicks,
They grew into layers. We had
plenty of wheat at that time and I
gave the soft foods rest for six months
and fed only grain. There was no
feather-eating going on among those
hens. With the first mess of soft food
I gave them began the habit of
feather-eating, fading and it was kept up un
til I left off soft food and fed
grain. This last winter I fed grain to
mr hens. There was no feather-eat
ing among them. This spring I fed
soft food, ' and they went to eating
feathers. The hens I have now are
brown Leghorns. Those formerly kept
were mostly the black Spanish. I
never have any trouble with feather
eating except when feeding soft food.
The continual feeding of soft food
ma kes the feather-eating habit a
strong one, and I have found only the

Farmers’ Bulletin No. 10, issued by
the Department of Agriculture, gives
some directions concerning the prep
aration and use c f a few of the in
secticide agents having the widest
ran ge and attended with the greatest
usefulness, economy and ease of ap
plication. There are constant calls
j or i n f orma tion of the character con
tained in the Bulletin, and the effort
has been made to give in a concise yet
complete manner the best methods of
preparing and applying the remedies
suggested by which the best results
can be obtained.
The overwhelming experience of the
past dozen years, the Bulletin says,
makes it almost unnecessary to urge
oki the ground of pecuniary returns
the adoption of the measures recoin
mended against insects. To emphasize
the value of such pfSctice it is only
necessary to call attention to the fact
that the loss to orchard, garden and
farm crops frequently amounts to
from fifteen to seventy-five per cent,
of the entire product, and innumer¬
able instances could be pointed out
where such loss has been sustained

Dollars and cents as well as human¬
ity demand that live poultry have
plenty of room when shipped.
It is cheaper to keep up the flow of
milk than to get it back alter “the
cows have dropped in their milk.”
Have the hen house ventilated so
well that the chicks will stay in it in¬
stead of seeking the trees for roosting
places.
Better have no grease than too
much about the lousy chickens—two
drops about the head is enough to kill
the lice.
Air-slacked lime scattered over the
floor or ground of the pig pen will
make pigs more healthful and destroy
bad odors,
This is good weather to bring out
the lice. Give your coop a coat of
whitewash and the roosts and nests a
spraying of kerosene.
Do you relish a cool drink these hot
day—so do fowls. See that they have
a ehauce to get at least two during
the twenty-four hours.
Green food, plenty of fresh pure
water and a littlo corn will be what
tho hens will enjoy these days—they
will give eggs in return, too.
Blue grass is best for sows and pigs
in spring, followed by clover later in
the season. Oats, barley and peas
furnish a profitable change of pasture.
Wool cannot be grown to the best
advantage from the backs of poor
sheep any more than good crops of
grain can be grown on thin, rundown
soil.
Give the fowls no green food and
the lice no kerosene these days and
the probabilities are that you xvill find
no eggs as a reward for your care (?)
of the flock.
Don’t give your horse any food Jbr
an hour after a hard drive nor for two
hours after particularly exhausting
him. Then water twenty minutes be¬
fore feeding.
There are very few good horses in
this country, and, while the general
horse market is bad, first-class, low
down, heavy draught horses will now
sell for a good round price.
“Do not crowd poultry in the ship¬
ping coops” is an injunction repeated
every day along South Water street,
Chicago, by the dead fowls that are
thrown out of the coops as they ar¬
rive.
Lambs up to tbe age of fifteen
months or two years are much more
susceptible to the attacks of internal
parasites than older sheep) because o£
tbe softness and juiciness of their tis
sues.
Vituals and drink are what poultry
need, especially drink, these hot
days. Give twenty fowls a gallon of
water at six o’clock in the morning
and see how little will be left in tbe
dish at 6 p. m.
The sheep is the only animal that
furnishes material year after year,
during its life, to clothe the human
family, and finally cheerfully gives its
body as a most acceptable article of
f OCK j to its owner.
Unless compelled to raise money by
tbe sale of clips, we would advise put¬
ting tbe wool in a clean, dry x-dace,
and quit worrying about it. This is
no time to sell wool; it is a time to
hold on; after the elections are over

She Swims in Her Sleep.
A young woman of Crab Creek,
Adams County, indulges in frequent
freaks of somnambulism. One of
her recent exploits was as follows:
She arose from her bed about three
o’clock in the morning and was seen
to approach Crab Greek in her night
robe. Upon read,ing the stream the
young woman waded in for a short
distance, as if feeling her way, and
swam safely across. Upon reaching
the opposite bank she awoke, half
frightened to death, dripping wet,
shivering from the cold, and made
her way to the house of a neighbor,
where site was cared for and taken
t® her home.—[Morning Oregonian.
