|MAN-A-LIN MAN-A-LIN Is An Excellent Remedy for Constipation There are many ailments directly dependent upon con- stipation, such as biliousness, discolored and pimpled skin, inactive liver, dyspepsia, over- worked kidneys and headache. Remove constipation and all of these ailments dis- appear. MAN-A-LIN can be relied upon to produce a gentle action of the bowels, making pills and drastic cathartics entirely un- necessary.

Judge Decided That They Couldn’t Pos- sibly Make a Sudden Start. “Men in the East,” said a_ well- known Westerner while talking to some friends in the lobby of a down- town hotel, “appear to me to be most- ly short and stocky built, except the Down East Yankee, who is usually long and lank. : “Now, out in God’s country you sel- dom see a man under six feet, and broad in proportion. But I'll admit it sometimes pays to be small. “I remember that in the early 70s,” the speaker went on, after taking a copious drink of whisky straight, “a man lived in my towa who was over six feet four, and he was about as broad as he was long, and weighed 400 pounds or so. . “In those good old days the festive mule pulled the street cars. “Well, my friend brought suit against the street railway company for damages stained by their suddenly starting a car in which he was stand- ing. “During the trial the company brought two of their mules into the court room as witnesses for the de- fense. “The jury viewed the complainant, took a casual glance at the mules, and at once brought in a verdict for the company on the ground that the sud den start was plainly impossible.

The great point at this plant is the simplicity and economy of labor in caring for the birds.

This house is about eight feet long and seven feet high in front and 3% feet in rear. one thickness of matched boards. The floor is of wood. A hover is.placed in this house, and the chicks are placed here when first hatched.’ When the chicks are from six to ten weeks old (depending largely on weather condi- tions and the development of the chicks), the heater is removed and perches are placed in the rear of the house about 10 or 18 inches above the floor. We also show a “New Hampshire” house, one of many such houses in use on Mr. Hick’s poultry farm in Massa- chusetts.

Such a house will accommo- date 10 to 15 fowls according to amount of yard room, breed, etc. This house is portable, and can be readily moved from place to place.

SUCCESSFUL GRASSES By Prof. A. M. Soule, Virginia Experiment Station. One of the great problems of the farmer is to obtain grass on his land. In sections where the bluegrass grows but there are vast areas where blue grass cannot be cultivated. What shall be done? Thousands of farmers have given up in despair. They dc not understand, for example, that by combining Texas blue and Bermuda grass an all-year-round pasture may be had in many sections of the south They do not understand that a mix. ture of grass is vastly euperior to one grass. They do not realize that where timothy will not grow, orchard grass and tall oat grass may be used and as large yields of hay, of just as fine qual- ity, obtained. They have not studied winter and summer. In winter a lit- tle cracked corn is added to the wheat screenings, and beef scraps are ac- cessible to the fowls at all times. Our second large illustration shows one of the winter laying houses at H. J. Blanchard’s farm, in New York state. This building is 40 feet long the composition and relative merit of the varigus grasses, and therefore they lay more stress on the virtues of tim. othy than it was ever entitled to.

The walls are double, with a four-inch space filled with straw. On the south are six double-glazed sashes, which make a warm house for the cold northern portions of the United States. There is a loft with slatted ceiling filled with straw, which ab- sorbs the moisture from below. At each end of the loft is a door which Even though they are acting like old horses some little unforeseen thing may frighten them and make runaway horses out of them.

Two German mechanics are said to have invented an electrie device for changing hymn numbers in churches. Baron von Welsbach, discoverer of the incandescent mantle, has invented a device by.which when the gas tip is turned on a shower of brilliant sparks lights the gas. It is announced that a Lancashire, England, merchant has invented a ma- chine which will sew direct from two reels of thread, thus obviating the winding of spools and threading of shuttles. A new process for purification of sugar-beet juice, by means of hydro- suZphuric acid, is announced by Con- sul Ledoux, of Prague. The Bohemian inventors have obtained patents in Austria and Germany. Clocks are now being made which speak the hours, instead of striling them, through an ingenious applica- tion of the phonograph. They are ar- ranged to call out in various degrees of modulation, some loud enough to rouse the soundest sleeper. Still another chemist is in the field with an artificial gutta-percha. Herr Gentsch, of Vienna, has produced an artificial gutta-percha from a mixture of caoutchoue and palm rosin; it is asserted that its elastic resistance is superior to that of the nature products but that it consolidates less easily and is more glutinous, while its cost would be only two-thirds of that of the na- tural product. David C. St. Charles, an engineer of San Francisco, has invented a repeater which will make it possible to tel- ephone clear across the continent. What the so-called “repeater” has done for telegraphy St. Charles’ inven- tion, it is now claimed, has done for the telephone. The combining of the echo in nature with the sounding board of a violin furnished the clew to the discovery. One of the Berlin papers tells of a new device for catching herrings. A German inventor places a microphone in a metal box perfectly watertight and plunges it into the sea in order to it ascertain if the fish are passing that way. A wire connects the submerged microphone (which greatly increases the volume of -small sounds) to an or- dinary receiver, with which one lis- tens to what is going on in the depths of the sea. Excellent results have been obtained in the North sea by the in- vention for signaling the passing of the herring shoals. SCRAPS OF HISTORY. jing Milan of Servia. He relinquished the crown in 1889. The last slaves under English-speak- ing people were United States negroes, set free in 1865. False teeth of ivory, on plates of the same material, and held in place by gold wires, were in use in the year 1,000 B. C. During the past three centuries more than 200 different systems of short- hand have been devised. Pitman’s was first published in 1840. The first standing army of modern times was established by Charles VII. | of France in 1445. In England the} first standing army was organized in| 1638. | The first attempt at stereotyping in| America was made in 1775 by Benja- | min Mecom, a printer at Philadelphia. | Previous to this time the Dutch had| stereotyped a prayer book in 1771. The | first printing press in America was es- tablished in 1639 at Cambridge, Mass. Earlier than any known paintings, | some tapestry discovered recently at} Deir-el-Bahari, near Thebes, is among the oldest specimens of human art ex-/| tant, with the exception of the pre- historic drawings on the bones of ex- tinct animals by the river drift men, which, of course, are incomparably older. But these paintings represent | the period in which the art of Egypt was at its zenith, the eighteenth dynasty, and consequently date back about 3,500 years. TELEPHONE TIDINGS. Glasgow corporation owns a tele- phone system covering 143 square miles. The charge for five minutes’ con- versation between London and Brus- sels is four shillings. | Guernsey was the first place to have a municipally-owned telephone service | ‘n the United Kingdom. | The first submarine telephone line’ was opened on April 1, 1891. It con- nected London with Paris. The London telephone area, which covers’ 600 square miles, is the largest local exchange era in the world. Lendon Wall exchange contains 3,500 direct telephone lines for subscribers. They are worked by 90 operators. There are 60 national telephone ex-} changes in the metropolitan area, and a dozen belonging to the post office. Three hundred people telephone daily from London to Paris, each pay- ing eight shillings for the privilege. The post office telephone plant in London has a capacity for 40,000 sub- scribers, but in 1904 only 15,292 used the service. To speak for three minutes from London to Inverness cost five shillings sixpence, and from London to Cork) six shillings sixpence.

In the recent case of State vs. Hen- nessy, 90 Pac. Rep. 221, the Nevada supreme court gives a definition of the slang phrase “all in.” The question came up in connection with the ad- mission in evidence of a dying declar- ation, the declarant’s statement that he was “all in” being relied on to show that he was under a sense of impend- | ing death. | The court said: “The expression ‘I am all in’ is one frequently made use | of'in this Western country, and when | used under the circumstances in ques- tion may, we think, be taken to have meant that the speaker considered his life was practically at an end.—Law Notes. .
