The girl that ’ came to my house the other day from i an employment agency knew more in a minute about the rights of employer and employed than i would know in a. year. About the first thing she did ‘ was to look out at that big hole in ‘ the ground at the other end or the ~iot. where they are preparing to build. She said: " ‘lf 1 should break any dishes while that building is going up you couldn't - make me pay for them.’ “i asked why not. and she informed ‘-me that a girl working in a building 1 that is likely to be shaken by blasting 1' is protected by the same rule that gov- ‘ eras employees in a dining car. Owing to the insecurity they are allowed $20 - a month for breakage. Dishes valued " 'at less than $20 may be smashed with 1‘ impunity. count of the trouble of two friends She gave me a printed ac- ” who had. thrashed that matter out in court and had been sustained in- their I contention for a twenty dollar leeway.

ANCIENT BRIDGES. '1 Some Built Before the Christian Era Still Standing In China. Suspension bridges which were built I in the time of the Han dynasty (202 3 B. O. to 220 A. D.) are still standing, r striking examples of oriental engineer- : ing skill. According to historical and _=. geographical writers of China, it was 2. Shaug Lieng, Kaen ’l‘su’s chief of comâ€" » mand, who undertook to construct the first public roads in the Flowery em- pire. At that time it was almost impos- rsible for the province of Shense to « communicate with the capital. Lieng 2 took an army of 10,000 workmen and -- cut great gorges through the menuâ€" i iains, filling up the canyons and val- -': leys with the debris from his excava- -' lions. At places where deep gorges " were traversed by large and rapidly ' flowing streams he actually carried ~ out his plan of throwing suspension 3‘» bridges, stretching from one slope to I the other. These crossings, appropriately styled "“flying bridges" by early Chinese writ- ers, are high and dangerous looking in 'the extreme, At the present day a. ;,_'ge may still be seen in the Shense ' which is 400 feet long and is stretched -over a chasm more than 1,000 feet deep. How those early engineers = erected such a structure with the tools : and appliances at their command is a :mystery which will probably never be :cxplained. _____. Birds and insect Life. "Men of science are generally agreed tthat birds are nature’s great check on xthe excess of insects and that they iinaintain the balance between plant .and insect life. Ten thousand cater- 'pillurs, it has been estimated, could xdestroy every blade of grass on an .area of cultivated land. The insect gpopulaiion of a single cherry tree inâ€" fested with aphides has been estimat- ~ed by a prominent entomologist at no .1083 than 12,000,000. The bird popula- ‘tion of cultivated country districts has been estimated at from 700 to 1,000 per :square mile. This is small compared with the number of insects, yet as 'each bird consumes hundreds of in- :-::ects every day the latter are preventâ€" <cd from becoming the scourge they would be but for their feathered ene- i,.mies.â€"-Harper‘s Weekly.

The constant attempt to secure sine as well as quality in jacks and jennets is producing marvelous results. There has been a steady elevation in the average excellence of the jacks avail- able for breeding mules in all parts of the country, and the superiority of their get has widened the appreciation of good points in a jack. In one respect this has failed to ben- efit our mule stock as it should. Too much responsibility has been piled upon the jack. Thoughtful breeders have realised the value of choice mares for producing mules and have by their polity upheld the average quality and a lofty top in the mule market; but, on the other hand, the hybrid often has an inferior dam be- cause of the idea that a more that will not produce good horses is well adapt- ed to raising mules. . This condition has been a heavy lid on the mule business as a whole and has thrown an unfair burden on the HULK AND CONCRETE THOUGH. jack. In too many cases he has been expected to furnish the bone, quality. constitution, character, soundness and even the size of the hybrid offspring, the mare doing nothing creditable ex- cept to produce the mule foal. it is a great credit to the jack that he has made good under these conditions. it explains how it is possible for big, smooth. wonderful mules to be pro- duced by creditable mares. The high class Jack is steadily gain- ing appreciation in this way by those who discern his possibilities. Even those who impose on a jack the thank- less task of getting good mules from plug mares realize that the weedy sire is a failure. A cheap mare and a cheap jack insure a cheap mule. DAIRY sores Butter Bowls of Hard Wood. The nicest kind of butter bowl can be made out of a hardwood knot. Cut out a block of that kind and take it to some good wood turner and have him make one. Butter working utensils made of hard wood are far better than those made of softer material. Have Separator on Even Floor. The separator will not work well and will wear out a good deal more quickly on unsteady, uneven floors than on those which are level and firm. Over-feeding Young Calves. Overdoing the matter of feeding young calves has been the means oi spoiling thousands of otherwise prom isiug young stock. Take Time When Milking. “’hen you hurry about milking. the cow feels uncomfortable and shortens up on you a little. That hurts you and hurts the cow as well. Cottage Cheese In Demand. There is a big demand for good cot. tage cheese. and it can be made a profitable byproduct in ‘the manufac. lure of butter. Ration 'For Calves. A good ration for calves is cornmeal, three pounds; oats. three pounds; bran, one pound. and linseed meal. one pound.

Economy OTHERS, We owe it as a duty to our husbands and families to take good care of them. We all want, of course, to have our loved ones cheerful and comfortable. Our dominant part is to give them the very best that we can make or bake. But Sometimes we are tempted to save a few pennies in food and think that in so doing We are economising. But is it so ? Is this thekind of economy that is wise and profitable? Is it doing our full duty to our loved ones? Royal Eonsciaoid floor We wouldn’t think ofbuying the lowest! priced eggs in the market just for the sake of economy. VV-c would feel that because they were cheap they would be good eggs to avoid. The 'low price would give us a suspicion of their freshness and quality. But when it comes to flour, for example, we may be tempted to buy the second best instead ofthe best because of the few pennies diflcrcnce in price. We may think that economy in flour is different from economy in cogs. But . . . ¢ . it'isn’t. The prinCipI-e is the same.
