Wllrcester, Mass.--Frail- and wan after weeks of suffering and anxiety, Delia Lescaopt, twenty-two, from her bed at the City hospital told how she lived the life of a gypsy In the woods- Mar West Boyleston rather than surrender her fifteen-months-old daughter to a charitable organization. After two nights in the woods, during which she-wrapped her baby in her coat and shivered In the thin summer clothes, she found sanctuary with a friendly Italian family in West Boyleston. Here her second child was born, which died a day after, according to her story. Her concern since ber arrival at the City hospital is for her infant daughter, which is being cared for in the children's department of the hospttal. "I will not let them take her from me," she repeated again and again. "As soon as I get well I am going to get work and earn mon^y to support her," she said. She refused to tell how she had been able to obtain food. She was equally unresponsive to questions of where she had come from or who her parents were, beyond the fact that her mother had died last January., She said that her only living relative was a njarried sister in New York. llie woman first made her appearance in the city four months ago with her child. Half-Starved Herder Dog Saves Lost Lone Sheep SMfcvenson, Wash.--Half starved, lost In the desolate country near the summit of the Cascade mountains, yet faithful to his charge, is the story of a shepherd dog that guarded a lone sheep in the forested hills. He finally drove the helpless animal to the camp of a forest fire guard, Tom Merchant, near Bend, Ore-, who is now seeking the dog's owner. Frightened at first by the presence of a man, the dog has become friendly with Merchant since bringing the sheep to the camp. Once the sheep was tumed over to a man the dog apparently considered his responsibility was. ended. For days 0nd nights the animal seems con-^ tent to sleep and recuperate from the long vigil when he kept off the cougars and bears. Most of the sheep came out of the summer feeding grounds ten days ago, but one must have become lost and was located by this herder dog. !Drives Car 106 Hoars, Finds Prize Is Myth York, Pa.--Herbert Dlehl, nineteen yea re old, completed an automobile endurance record, expecting to win $3,500 that be had been told was offered by the Wheeling (W.

Preferred Feathered Tribe to Society of Humana, PftflaMphla .--The famlllefl tlwf^lve in Fernber avenue knew old Michael Grofchick as the man who liked birds betted than he did people. He used to say to them: "The birds, they are better. Always they are happy, but people"--and he would shrug his shoulders. That was the reason Michael lived among the blrdst Never a wife, never a friend lived with him. But the three rooms of his little house--it looks like a bird cage itself--were piled with crates i% which Michael kept the canaries he raised for the pet stores. Recently the neighbors found Michael dead *in the second story room of the house. From a hundred cages Ability to Keep Horses in ohape The Body Was Sprawled on the Floor. lined against the wall canaries were chattering--possibly because . they hadn't had breakfast yet. Sprawled on Floor. Michael's heart had ceased beating as he was on his way to open the window. The body was sprawled on the floor midway between the bed and the smudgy panes of glass. It was little the police found in the house except supplies for the birds. There were 500 canaries at least, and grain enough for them.. But on the first floor, aside from the cages, there were only a table, a cabinet, a chair a chromo of the ascension and a row of blue ribbons that Michael's birds' had won him. , In the second floor room was a bed with a tattered comforter and 100 more cages. The attic was lined with crates. That was all. On the downstairs table was a loaf of bread and a package of coffee, the only food In the house. Michael didn't spend much on his table, the neighbors confided. It all went to the birds. a, Good Horseman Has His Animals Ready for Call to Work at All Times. (Yniwiwd by th« United Stataa DtpartMat of Acrlcnltar*.) A man who baa the ability to keep horses In such condition that they are. ready for any call la a good horseman, says the United States Department of Agriculture. There is comparatively little scientific Information on which to base conclusions relative to the fundamentals that go to make up good horsemanship, but there is a wealth of experience gained through years of handling horses that might be summarized. The methods which good horsemen have found to be the most satisfactory are therefore discussed in a new bulletin on the care and management of farm work horses, Just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, as Faxuifcxs' BuUetiu Ml®. Fundamental Factor. ^ The fundamental factor, say the authors, is the name. In no phase of Uiimal husbandry is this "man" element more vital than In the care of horses. When a man has the ability to keep horses In good condition and ready for the call to work at all times, he is said to have a knack with horses. This is often the result largely of Interest and fondness for horses, and Is acquired In the natural course of handling them. But there are certain factors involved in the care and management of horses which even the man with a "knack" for horses should have at his command. Besides having the Ability to keep the horses In a thrifty condition, the man should have the advantages of convenient stabling facilities, paddocks adjoining the Stables, and suitable sheds for wintering In order to provide for the health and comfort of the animals. Feeding must be adjusted to seasonal requirements and thorough grooming practiced. The harness must be well fitted and cleaned regularly to Insure satisfaction and durability, and the shoulders, feet, and teeth of the animals must be well cared for. Suggestions for the most satisfactory results in feeding under work conditions, salting, and watering, wintering idle horses, preparation for spring work, grooming and clipping, harness fitting, preventing sore shoulders, caring for the teeth, are offered In the bulletin as a guide in the best management of farm work horses. Hints for Horsemen. The bulletin concludes with a paragraph of "Hints for Horsemen" In which some of the following are suggested : Make hitches carefully, In order that the pull will be at the center of draft, and that each liorse will pull his share of the load. The strongest horse should usually have as much of the load as suits his power. Do not work a slow horse and a fast horse Good Samaritan Aide Jailbirds; Home Looted Milwaukee.--Glenn Henry's abiding faith in the basic goodness of mankind has been severely Jolted. Mr. Henry, who In .business hours is credit manager of the Wisconsin Credit Clothing company, spends his leisure hours doing good to his needy brothers, making a specialty of aaslst- Ing those whose errors have landed them In Jail. Last week he obtained the release on parole of a house of correction prisoner, took the man to his home, and helped him with carfare and suggestions in hunting a Job. His protege brought in a friend, who also needed help In getting started back on the straight path. The newcomer was also provided with temporary sleeping and eating quarters in the Henry home. At night, when Mr. Henry returned after a few hours' absence, he found his welfare workers absent. So were a violin, a gun, a traveling bag and numerous other articles which had not been nailed down. The missing articles^, are worth about $75, he told police. Thief Accepts $1 Loot Ran Francisco.--"Give me that purse," demanded the uncouth stranger who approached Mrs. Eugenia T. Early at Colby and Bacon streets recently. "I will not," responded Mrs. Early in a very decided tone of voice. **A dollar is enough for you." The bandit took the dollar and meekly went his way. Finds Needle in Hand "r, Adams, Mass.--Miss Amy Fuller of Savoy had a needle removed from the palm of one hand b.v Dr. A. Desrochers. after having suffered for some time. She does not know when she picked up the needle, but believes It was some time ago. An Incision was made which disclosed the needle. Kills Heron Franklin. Ky.--James Roark of the Providence country recently shot and killed a snow-white heron which was 4 feet and 4 Inches in height, measured 4 feet and 9 Inches from tip to tip and weighed only two pounds. The bird is a native of the Florida together. There will be friction and loss of power, in addition to irritation to hpth driver and horses. At the beginning of the day's work, warm up the horses gradually. The digestive tract will be emptied, the muscles and Joints limbered up, the collar will be made pliable, and the whole machine will be In better condition for the day's work. Work the horse at his normal gait in the field. Sweating during hot weather Indicates that the co<Jllng system Is working. Puffing may be a serious warning, especially if the horse has ceased to sweat, and overheating miy result If the horse Is pushed at this time. A brief rest, a swallow of water, or a sponging of the mouth will often restore normal action and avoid serious consequences.

CATCHING THE BABY tN EFFECTIVE POSE Study Record Book Data to Keep Track of Sires One way to stimulate interest of the dairyman In the value of better sires can be accomplished by making proper use of the data which Is found In the herd record book headings, provided that they have been filled In completely and properly. Get the name and number of each cow's sire, and the dam's name If possible. In many Instances the sire my be "gone and forgotten," but one can usually find out which cows are sired by a certain bull, and In that way determine the value of the aires formerly heading the herd. The Ideal data on sires Is arrived .at by comparing his daughters with their dams. Know your bull through his daughters. The daughters should show a decided Improvement over their dams In respect to their production and conformation If selected for the future herd. When you have found the rating of a sire and he has proved to be exceptionally good, and Is still living, continue using him In the herd. Too often a good sire goes to the block before his value is known. Breeders should exchange sires or loan them to someone until their daughters can be tested. There Is no better way to make cow testing work more effective than to promote the use of better sires. Thin-Shelled Eggs Recent research work In Kentucky indicates that the absence of calcium carbonate results In the production of fewer eggs and those produced become thinner ( shelled, although the lack of carbonate Is not the primary cause of soft-shelled eggs. Rock phosphate Is valuable as a bone builder but not as an egg ahell producer. Limestone and oyster shell both aid In shell production, but do not replace grit as a grinder. LIME IS MOST SATISFACTORY TO NEUTRALIZE ACIDITY OF SOILS No Reason for Discriminating Against Any Material. Ground limestone, screening*, burned lime, hydra ted lime, air-slaked lime, shells, refuse lime and marl may all be used for neutralizing soli acidity. Which of these different forms of lime should be used In any particular case should be determined by the cost at which a given amount of calcium carbonate or Its equivalent. In a reasonably fine condition, can be delivered to the soil. Aside from this, there Is no good reason for discriminating against any of these materials. Neither should magnesium limestone be considered either more or less valuable than the ordinary calcium limestone. Theoretically, 100 pounds of finely ground limestone, 56 pounds of freshly burned lime, 74 pounds of hydrated lime and about 90 pounds of alr-slaked lime have equal acid neutralizing power. In calculating the cost, the price of the material, the freight If any, the cost of hauling and the labor Involved in spreading It on the land, should be taken Into account. If finely ground limestone can be secured delivered at the nearest railroad station at $3 per ton, then, allowing for the smaller cost of handling equivalent amounts of the more concentrated forms, fresh burnt lime should be secured at the station for $6, hydrated lime for $4.50, and alr-slaked lime for about $3.50 per ton. Usually ground limestone will be the most economical and most satisfactory material to use. In const deraiMU Find Babe in Wall ^ Berlin.--Echoes of the Middle ages are sounded In a crime reported from Tschars In northern Italy. Here police found the body of a three-year-old baby Immured in * wall. The Investigation showed that the child, whose name is Johann Nlschler, bad been walled in alive. Despite Its horribleness, the crime Is charged to a ten-year-old boy, Dand Loesch. The police believe the boy walled the child la aa a childish prank. Large Losses of Swine Caused by Tuberculosis Tuberculosis Is shown to be a prominent cause for losses in swine by a recent report of the Meat Inspection division of the United States Department of Agriculture. Of about 54,- 000,000 hogs federally Inspected during the year ended June 90 a total of 232,670 dressed hog carcasses were condemned for various causes. Nearly one-half of this number were condemned because of tuberculosis infection. In addition to the 100,110 whole carcasses there were 1,099,253 parts of carcasses condemned because of tuberculosis. This represents a great loss to the swine raisers of the country which, according to specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, can be prevented to a large extent Following Infected cattle In feed lots Is said by the government specialists to be a chief means of swine becoming infected. Avian tuberculosis has been shown to be another important cause of Infection in swine. Fowls that have died from tuberculosis, when fed to swine, pass the disease W to the swine. Ing the price, the fineness of grinding snd the freight rate must be taken Into account. The fine material is worth more than the coarse. If coarse material Is used, it will require more to get the same immediate acid neutralizing effect. A good grade of ground limestone should be fine enough so that all will pass through a 100- mesh sieve. The objection to coarse material, such as screenings, is that It acts too slowly. Only the fine dust will act Immediately.--Purdue College of Agriculture. It Is Very Profitable to Rat-Proof Any Crib Corn is never so cheap that one can afford to feed it to the rats. The present price of corn makes It very profitable to rat proof any crib. A good concrete foundation will keep rats from working under the floor, and a strip of hardware cloth and a strip of tin above It will keep them from going through the walls. The hardware cloth prevents the rats gnawing through the lower part of the walls, and the tin prevents them from climbing higher.

"Now hold her," says the photographer who is an expert in baby's pictures. Now "you stand there and you stand there and now all say 'Googoogoo I' Loud! Just like that 1 Now all together! And all at once! And now with a will! Quick and 'click' she goes end that was no good. Well try It again." Grandma darts Into the house and emerges with a Japanese gong with a big striker that came with It when we bought it at Bar Harbor. She assumes an intentional highly amusing type of broad grin and a show of teeth. With it goes a line of baby talk. So she dances up and down on one foot, strikes the gong and says, "Will 'ee* Itty lammle smile for gammy?" This Is supposed to be an unfailing recipe. Thus, while the baby's dad holds a large-sized rubber cat with a hole in its side, from which ooze certain piercing sounds supposed to delight a child, grandma strikes the gong, mother laughs aloud "ha-ha-ha-ha 1" Marlon goes "hee-hee-hee" In soprano; papa makes a nolce which hitherto has been an unfailing recipe for smiles and which may be faintly described, as similar to that which a duck's foot makes when it is suddenly drawn from the mud; auntie goes "toodle-toodle-oo-o-o" in a low contralto, which makes even the child's grandfather roar, and 1 try to tickle the baby under the arms, writes A. G. Staples In the Lewiston Evening Journal. And the crowd along the railing of our yard, now increased to 125, is In gales. The baby regards us with solemn Interest Says I, "Lemme," and I say it confidently, "Lemme. I'll show you." So I put on mother's hat and get a cane and parade. Baby regards me with withering glances. Mother beats the drum; grandmother beats a tin pan; father goes "putt-putt-putt," like tne exhaust of a machine. Marion goes "Ha-ha-ha-a-a-a" crescendo, and two cars run Into each other on the hill, because the drivers are not watching anything but us. What we ne?d is Al Jolson and Frank Tlnney with Humpty Dumpty and a Punch and Judy. Baby regards us with pity. We set her on the grass and all stand off and do our best to excite the peerless one's risibilities. Nothing doing. Now and then a faint suggestion of that heavenly charm that lurks In the corners of her mouth will appear, but most of the time she just carries that far-away look of wonder that resides in the limpid depths of Innocence. Then we rest Then we cease; then we sit down, conquered, and the baby, looking at us all sober and serene as she most often sees us In our dally life, opens her lips, curls the corners of her mouth, bursts Into a roar of musical laughter and the camera snaps her Into the result that leaves nothing to be desired this side of perfection. Early Fur Trade Had Plethora of Romance The romance of the fur trade is ntot over. The wreck of the Hudson's Bay company's steamer Lady Kindersley, with a million dollars' worth of furs. In the Arctic ocean, was an adventure as thrilling as any on the sea. Uniike the earlier vessels in the trade she was equipped with radio apparatus, which helped to acquaint the outside world with the plight of the crew. But when the voyager and trader of old struck out Into the wilderness they left the world behind them and steered their course by the stars over river and plain. The most remarkable of these star gazers was probably David Thompson, the accuracy of whose bounddfry surveys remains undisputed. The "Adventurers of England Trading Into Hudson's Bay" was the only corporate company which ruled over an area as large as Europe. With It will always be associated the name of Donald A. Smith, who, starting as a lad on the bleak coast of Labrador, where he spent 13 years, rose from the position of clerk to governor, and finally took his seat In the house of lords as Lord Strathcona, says the Toronto Globe, A But there was not much romance in his snowshoe tramp of a thousand miles to Lachlne to consult a doctor about an affliction of the eyes which threatened blindness. One incident of his life In Labrador was revealed at a meeting of the railway committee of the house of commons when he was a member. An enthusiastic promoter wanted to build a railway from Quebec to Hamilton inlet, which, he declared, was an open port all the year round. ' 'The old fur trader rose and remarked that was news to him, for he distinctly remembered walking across the inlet on snowshoes In the winters of the '40s. That, of course, killed the bill. The romantic features of the company probably reached their zenith under Sir George Simpson, whose movements by canoe and saddle earned him the title of "fastest traveler In the north." Romance was continued for many years In the fiction of Reld and Oxley, and fortunately sufficient interest has been maintained in the real history of the fur trade to preserve the facts In many well known works. mrUK, RUN DOWH AFTER SICKNESS Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vi fale (VwrnMnnwi Msit* Dube Well and Strang Sandpaper Lithographs* A new method of llthograplng which will be of special Interest to amateur artists and school children has been Invented by Norman Jacobson of Coketown, Wyo., now studying art In Paris. In his method, sandpaper replaces the expeuslve stones hitherto necessary. 8ome brilliant effects can even be obtained by using as a "printing press" the family wash wringer. The Idea of sandpaper lithographs came accidentally when the young American etcher happened to run an ink roller over a piece of sandpaper. He noticed that the sandpaper would not "take" Ink. He found that If he drew a design on It with wax crayons or a pointed piece of soap and then Inked the sandpaper the design was printed not unlike that from a regular lithographing stone. A group of American art students are now turning out work by the new method. Easy to Grow Edelweiss, Thrilling tales are told of the lure of the rare edelweiss. That it can be easily cultivated, however, has been proved by its frequent appearance in American and European gardens, according to the Detroit News. The plant grows about six inches high. Almost any soil, not too rich and fully exposed to the sun, will produce edelweiss plants, for the woolly covering enables them to hold.moisture and endure exposure. The word is from the German and means "noble white." The edelweiss is the national floral emblem of Switzerland. It plays an Important part in the legend and poetry of that nation and, due to Its rarity, laws protect It here. Appearing In exposed places, high In the Alps of Switzerland, Tyrol, Carinthla, Austria and Serbia, its fame Is due chiefly to the difficulty of obtaining It Hair Denoted Power There was a deep-rooted belief among the ancient peoples of the Bast that a man's glory was his beard. Compulsory shaving and the close cropping .of hair were signs of degradation. This Is borne out by Assyrian sculptures, which always show kings with beards and long hair, and slaves with close-cropped hair and cleanshaven faces. Creosote Preserves Poles In Sweden, before telephone poles are planted they are drilled longitudinally with a small center hole, and then the opening at the bottom Is plugged. The hole runs to a point about one foot above ground. A small side hole Is drilled aslant to meet the center hole and creosote oil Is poured In the center hole every two or three Onion Only Eatable Lily The chief value to man of the lily family, to which the onion belongs, Is a purely ornamental one, says Dr. A. B. Stout, director of laboratories of the New York botanical garden, in the Detroit News. Doctor Stout Is an expert on lilies. A general survey of the true lilies and their near relatives reveals that the Illy family contains relatively few plants of importance as food and fiber crops, says Doctor Stout. Of these the onions are perhaps most important. The young shoots of asparagus are among the delicacies of the spring season. Bulbs of certsln of the true lilies are eaten by man, especially in China. The seeds of a Ruscus are used as a substitute for coffee. One member of the Illy family. New Zeaand flax, yields fiber. Several members yield medicinal products; of these sarsaparllla (from smllax) may be mentioned. The list of Important economic plants In this family Is, however, not a noteworthy one.

He consulted the catalogue and added: "•It's called "Repentance".' ' " 'Humph,' said the man's wife •You'd think if she'd repented, she'd put some clothes on.'" To Preserve Wild Fowl According to Dr. W. E. Nelso, chief of the bureau of biological survey of the United States government, the number of wild water fowl Is gradually decreasing, but there are still more wild water fowl today than there are feeding grounds for them. Ducks get about 93 per cent of their food from vegetation and wild geese get 97 per cent. A move Is on to establish feeding grounds In the sloughs and marshy grounds for them. Owners of suoh tracts are urged to sow wjjd rice, pondweed, red head grasses, wild celery, spatterdock and muskgnu# for the benefit of these fowls.
