When 1 was young I fre quently fell oul of bed. It was a favorite pastime ef mine, so te speak. And 1 never was injured In the least. Of course It roused me from my sleep, and I used to consider It funny, and would sit on the floor and laugh with Uemoniac glee. But If I fell out of bed now It would be necessary to ring up the Red Cross headquarters for an am bulance and a few nurses. “It Is that sort of thing which makes age tragic. Every little mishap means suffering to the elderly Individual. Gc think of It, In silence and alone, Mrs Jiggers. “I remember when I first learned to skate. I was a young man, Just grow ing my maiden sideboards. I should have learned the noble art when I was a boy, but my education in honesi sports had been sadly neglected. It’s better late than never, as the old ad age has It, and so I took up the study of skatlDg when I was at the voting age. It was on s brilliant winter day and all the beauty and chivalry of tbt neighborhood bad gathered at the pond to see me do my devoir. “An expert skater who was present assured me that there was no trick tc ft.

(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) With the approach of warm weather sheep misers are warned by special ists of the United States Department of Agriculture to watch for stomach worms and put Into practice every known preventive measure. The stomach worm, they say, Is one of the most serious parasites of sheep, oc curring over almost the entire world where there are sheep, cattle and oth er suitable host animals. In the United States It Is most plentiful In the South, where It. Is favored by abundance of warmth and moisture, but It Is also quite common and seri ous In the Middle West and in low, wet areas throughout the entire coun try. It is present in smaller numbers and does less damage In the high, dry and cool areas of the Rocky mountain states. The first things noticed about sheep Infested with stomach worms are dull ness and lack of thrift. latter the skin becomes pale, ns do the linings of the mouth and eyelids, which is due to Im poverishment of the hlood from the bloodsucking babtt of the worms. In fested sheep also may have a swell ing under the jaw, known as “bottle jaw.” Stomach worm Infection Is spread hy the droppings of Infested sheep. The eggs of the parasites In the drop pings hatch out and the young worms, which are microscopic in size, crawl up grass blades and are swallowed by three weeks. If the fourth stomach, or rennet, of an Infested sheep or lamb be examined soon after death, the stomach worms can be seen squirming about, slender, reddish In color, about an Inch long. A satisfactory remedy for this dis ease If used In time, the specialists tm V, r ,— .

A dose which he* been found satisfactory Is 100 mils (about three minces) for yearling and older sheep, and half ai? much for lambs three months old or older. To make this solution, dissolve one-f(rarth pound of copper sulphate In one pint of boiling watfr, then add cold water lo make a total of three gallons of the solution. This amount Is sufficient to treat 100 adult aheep. The use of this remedy once a innnlh during the grazing season will, prevent, or great ly reduce losses from stomach worms Young animals and unlnfested sheep should be separated from older or Infested animals. Pastures which have been used by infested animals are dangerous to young animals and unlnfested ones. The first essential In preventive measures Is to protect young animals, for they are more sus ceptible to parasitic lnfostntlon. than older ones. Consequently, the safest pasture should’ be furnished to the lamhs.jhe older sheep taking the more CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears tbe Signature of dangerous land, where IT fi~necessary for sbeep to go back to old pasture within a year.

BEST MAKEUP FOR FIREBRICK Exhaustive Researches Stem to Hava Definitely 8ettted Matter for Good Results. Le Chatelier and Bogitch have been engaged for some time in re searches upon "firebrick and the best makeup to be employed. Such fire brick is composed of granulated silica, and various oxides in powder U8c.fi as a binding material. It is found that the beat binding sub* starve is impalpable quart* powder, which is produced in special crush ing mills. The use of this powderi considerably increases the strength of the bricks at a high temperature of |JP0 degrees centigrade, and this is oe * of most irfpowtant-quali*. ties of firebrick. Again, the proportion of 25 per cent of the powder gives much better results than 75 per cent, for when too much of. it is employed the bricks all show small cracks after heating, which will become larger under a long heat. HARD TO EXPLAIN RAIN The weather men have been try ing to answer the question, “How does it rain ?" It is a hard question, says Dr. W. J. Humphreys of the United States weather bureau. “Lots of people are content to sav that the droplets at the top of the cloud pick up others on their way down and come out at the bottom* full-sized raindrops,” he said. “That sounds nice, but those who give this explanation seem to overlook the fact that clouds can float in, the sky for days without giving a drop of rain.” He has calculated how big a drop would result from such a fall, and it turns out that a cloud patrtids falling from top to bottom of a dense cloud a mile thick and picking up every ether droplet in it* way would come out only one-sixteenth; of an inch in diameter, much amalletr than an ordinary raindrop.—Kansas City Star.
