Take a dead chicken or shoot a rabbit, if it rabbit, cut the skin across the back, pulling it both ways from the cut. Across the flesh several small gashes, and then in turn work seme strychnine. 'Then nail the rab- bit to some pole or tree some dis- tance from the barn. There is not much chance that the hawk will not get the rabbit, and the owner of the chickens get the hawk. Hawks are, however, not nearly the nuisance they are supposed to be. They are, on the other hand, a great assistance th keeping the farm elear of field 'mice, moles, ete.

The Forum: 2 The aggregate of all the appropria- tions. made by congress this year reaches the abnormal sum 8, 804,894, or more than on O00 oe excess of the budget for the previous year, notwithstanding the fact that the river and harbor bill, which last year carried an appropriation of $37,000. - 000, was omitted. About one-half of the increase is chargeable to the army and navy, $23,000,000 for the latter, and $16,000,000 for the former. The army and navy, by the way, are be coming expensive necessities and an- nually cost nearly $100,000,000 each. In fact, so enormous were the appro- priations that Representative Tawney, the chairman of the house committee on appropriations, felt called upon to apologize for their excessive size, while the democrats, through Repre- sentative Fitzgerald, of New York, pre- sented comparative figures that are almost startling. Mr. Fitzgerald as- serted, for instance, that the expendi- tures during the four. Roosevelt years, 1906-1909, amounted to ¥3,428000,- 000, while during the civil war years, 000,000. According to Mr. Fitzgerald, never: but' once in our history did the expenditures of the government reach the thousand million mark. During the fiscal year 1865, when the coun- {ry was in the throes of the bloody and expensive civil war, the expendi- tures aggregated $1,394 655000, of which $L,uu0,690,400 were for the maintenance of .the army. 'To-day, in a time of prolpund peace, the pation is spending more money than 'it did in the time of civil war. Very few people appreciate the fact that while Great "Britain's havy in 1907 cost £149,000,000, the United States navy in 1908 will cost $122,000,000, 5 sum us great 'as the expemses of the French and German navy cambined. The maintenance of the army is reaching 'a figure 'which places country on a par with the nations of Europe. There is every reason to believe that at the close of the next fiscal year there will be a serious deficit in the natienal treasury. This deficit will have to' be met by increased taxation. The president suggests an income tax and an inheritance tax. Certainly some provision will have to be made, some new sources of revenuwe discover- ed, if all the obligations tonfracted by congress are to he faithfully met.

' "Very few persons understand © the art of keeping flowers," says a South- tention flowers may be kept fresh for three or four times as long as people expect them to stay in good tion. "The matter is simple enough. It is merely a question of tomperature grown at a high temperature in the greenhouses and are then genérally spoiled by ill-treatment after they have been cut., Grown in a tempera- ture of seventy-five or eighty degrees, of comrse, they wilt placed in an ice- box, where the thermometer stands at about forty degrees.

Every day hali an inch of stem should be cat off in order to present a fresh suction surface to the water. If this precaution is neglected the stem becomes clogged with a glutinous matter something like the gum that exudes from peach and cherry trees, the water in the vase, however pure, cannot be drawn up, and the leaves and flowers wither for lack of mois- ture. : "In cutting off the stems a knife should always be used, mever a pair of scissors. The reason is plain en- ough. The knife makes a smooth cut, leaving the cells of the wood open and® unobstructed. The scissor blades, no matter how sharp they are, al ways compress the woody fibres at the end of the stem and leave them so tightly pressed together that it is almost impossible for sufficient mois- ture to find its way through to sup- port the leaves and blossoms." EVERY RELIGION IN INDIA. From Ancestor Worship to Scotch Presbyterianism. Shared by 295,000,000 people in In dia, there are at least a dozen [ami- lies of languages. Somewhere about eighty different languages are spoken, of which there are twenty languages spoken by not less than 1,000,000 per- sons each. English is very widely un- derstood, while Hindustani is the pre- val nt language. There is probably no religion which is not represented in India, from an ancestcr worship to Scotch Presbyter- ianism., Nearly three fourths of the to- tal population are followers of the Hindu religion, and these, together with the Mohammedans, comprise nearly 92 per cent. of the whole. There ar: about 3,000,000 Chiistians. India possesses very few foreigners in proportion to its population. In fact, the total number of persons re- siding there not horn in India, includ- the French and Portuguese possessions is only 642,000, and most of these wera born in countries contiguous to India.

A man one day called upen the first John Jacob Astor with apbusiness proposition which demanded' en in- vestment of $100,000 on his part. While listening to the planihe kept groping: and feeling about on the floor for something he seemed to have drop- ped. When the plan had teen explain- ed he said readily: "All right. I'll furnish the money." At that instant yu man centered to tell him that one of his buildings had burned down. "Tbat happens nearly every day," he said, with the utmost unconcern, and went on feeling about with great care for that something on the carpet Finally the vistor was -curious enough to inquire what he had dropped. "Il dropped a cime hero a moment ago," he replied, "and I can't find it. If a man's buildings burn down they are gone, and 'he can't help it, buta man who deliberately throws away ten. cents because he won't take the trouble to look for it is not to be forgivem."
