Bird Practically Forced Captain to Al-
ter Course of His Vessel and Thus
Effect the Rescue of Drown-
ing Men.
The following story was published
by a sea captuin in "Aftonbladet" of
Stockholm recently. There are many
people still living in Arendal who re-
member the occurrence which is here
described.
One dark night several years ago a
sailing vessel from Arendal, Norway,
was crossing the north Atlantic, on
its way from America to England.
There was a strong east wind, against
which the ship was tacking. As it
drew toward eight bells in the even-
ing, tfie captain was walking back and
forth on the bridge, trying to make up
his mind whether to put about or tc
continue on the same course for an
other watch or two.
As he walked he suddenly received
a blow on his chest, which, he discov-
ered, had been dealt by a sea bird.
Then his winged assailant quickly dis-
appeared to leeward.
A few moments later the captain
was just giving the command to turn
the vessel when he again received a
blow in the chest from the same mes-
senger. Then the bird disappeared as
before in a southwesterly direction.
After this had been repeated several
more times, the bird, after each blow,
flying off toward the southwest, the
captain, who thought there must be
something supernatural in the matter,
decided to follow the bird. Instead of
turning back, he caused the boat's
course to be sent toward the south-
west. This was no sooner done than
the bird settled down on the ship's
railing beside the captain.
The boat now sailed at a great pace
before the strong wind. But although
a sharp watch was kept aft as well as
forward, half the night passed and
nothing unusual was discovered.
The crew began to joke about the
"old man's" maneuver, and the cap-
tain himself doubted the wisdom of
continuing to sail out of his course,
losing distance which a great deal of
tacking would be required to regain.
At 2 o'clock in the morning he was
on the point of giving the order to
turn again, when the lookout on the
foreyard sung out that he saw a glow
as of a fire ahead.
All the waning interest woke again!
Soon the vessel found Itself ap-
proaching a burning ship, and It lay
to as close as was practicable.
A boat was lowered and found many
men floating about on hencoops, pieces
of wreckage and other floating articles
from the burning ship. They were
weak and exhausted, having chosen a
slow death in the ocean to being
burned alive or suffocated by the
fire.
When the sufferers had been cared
for to the best of the rescuing vessel's
ability and the vessel's bow had been
turned again toward England the sail-
ors found that the bird was still on
board. Nor did It leave the boat
again. But one day, after the vessel
had reached the English channel, one
of those who had been saved from the
burning ship kicked the bird to death
in revenge for a bite from its bill.
Comparative Youths Are Juat Now
Qulcfting the Deatinlea of the
Great British Empire.
I.«ord Haldane, who has Just been
tnade lord chancellor of England Vs
exceptionally young for the post. He
was born In 1859. remarks the New
York Sun. He is the youngest mem-
ber of the house of lords tribunal—the
final court of appeal—younger than
any of the appeal Judges, and he has
only two Juniors on the chancery
bench and three on the king's bench.
Winston Churchill is, of course, the
youngest member of the British gov-
ernment. the changes In which en-
tailed by lxird Haldane's transfer have
still further reduced the average age
of its members. There have probably
been few or no administrations in
which that average has been lower.
Today there is only one minister
seventy and only two are in the six-
ties. Ten, Including the premier, ar*
still in the fifties, and seven are still
on the right side of fifty
With Winston Churrhill, aged thirty-
eight, at the admiralty and Colonel
Seely, aged forty-three, at t^e war of-
fice, youth is certainly well served.
At their combined ages of eighty-one
Gladstone was at the height of his
fame and the duke of Wellington was
still a power in the house of lords
and in the country.
There are many links between the
rareers of Colonel Seely and Mr.
Churchill. Both were at Harrow and
both saw fighting In South Africa.
Mr. Churchill began his career with
a cavalry regiment and Colonel Seely
fought with the imperial yeomanry.
Both entered the house in 1900 and
both entered it as unionists. Both
have sat for three different constitu-
encies. Colonel Seely followed Mr.
Churchill as undersecretary for the
colonies, an office which both held
for two years. Both married soldiers'
daughters.
Sir Philip Sasson. the new mem-
ber for Hythe, Is the "baby" of the
house of commons, though he is far
from being the youngest man to enter
that chamber. Leaving Pitt and Palm-
erston out of account, Sir Philip, at
twenty-four, was surpassed in point of
youth by Mr. Gladstone, who had not
completed his twenty-third year when
he wns first returned for Newark. In
modern times Earl Winston was still
younger when he first entered the
house as member for the Horsham di-
vision a few months after he had at-
tained his majority.
Before the return of the new mem-
ber for Hythe Viscount Wolmer had
been the youngest member of the
house. On the liberal benches the
youngest member Is the Hon. F. W.
S. McLaren. Lord Aberconway's sec-
ond son, who entered his twenty-sev-
enth year some weeks aeo, while W.
O. C. Gladstone is nearly twelve
months older.
The labor members have few young
men in their ranks, but the "baby" of
the nationalists is their leader's son,
W. A. Redmond, who celebrates his
twenty-sixth birthday this year.
OBSERVATORY HIVE IS NEW
All the Doings of Bees and Queen Can
Be Watched—Found Quits
Handy and la Inexpensive.
My observatory hive consists of
two circles of Inch wood made exact-
ly the same aUe. and with a three-
Inch hole cut out of the center of
each, writes Waiter Chitty in the
Gleanings in Bee Culture. At the bot-
tom of one of the circles a bee en-
trance is made which reaches as far

along to the center, and then ascend.
Four pieces of wood, about three
inches wide, are firmly fastened with
screws, as shown, and three grooves
are cut in each of these pieces, and
corresponding grooves in the two
large circles. The center grooves are
for foundation, and the other grooves
for glass. The foundation could be
wired if desired; but if good thick
foundation is used I find wiring is not
necessary.
The hole at the top may be used fftr
feeding or supering. Special supers
could easily be made, another hive
of the same sort put on top, or a bell-
glass, as fancy dictates. I find this a
very useful and handy hive for obser
vation purposes, and the making and
material are not at all expensive.
All the Hoings of the bees and queen
can be seen; and to keep them in the
dark I merely put corrugated paper
around it, and keep the paper in Its
place with a piece of elastic. In win-
ter time, three or four folds of paper
could be used to keep the bees warm.
These hives would do well for Indoor
observation, or in a beehouse.
FIGHTING PESTS IN GARDENS
Larger Squash Bugs Found Harder to
Control Than Other Insecta—
Treatment Differs.
All of us are bothered more or less,
with injurious Insect pests in the gar-
den, and with dealing with them the
first thing to be determined is wheth-
er they are chewing or sucking in-
sects, whether they eat the leaf or
i extract Its sap. There must be en-
tirely different treatment employed In
the two cases.
| The chewing Insects are compara-
tively easy to get rid of, unless they
, are working on the foliage, which will
be injured by the application of a
l*>i8on strong enough to kill the in-
I sects.
| The sucking Insects insert their bills
through the skin of the leaf or stem ,
! that they are feeding on. so as to ex-
tract the Juice, therefore no matter
how much poison is applied to the sur-
face, the insects get uone of iL
For the striped beetle, which is de-
structive to squash, cucumber and
melon vines, a slight application of
lime, tobacco dust, plaster, or ashes,
will be found a good preventive, and
will also drive away those which may
have already appeared. Sometimes,
however, the ashes will burn the fo-
liage if rain falls soon after they are
applied, so on the whole lime, and
plaster, or tobacco dust are better for
the purpose, says a writer in the Farm
Progress. Some keep a healthy bunch
of onions growing in each hill, bruising
the leaves occasionally, so as to hide
the smell of the vines from the beet-
les.
The larger squash bugs have been
the most troublesome and the hard-
est to deal with in our garden. They
are sap suckers, and there is nothing

Just before retiring the other night
| we threw up our front window for a
view of the heavenly firmament. Out
1 of the soft silence stole a sweet voice
; calling "Gladstone! Gladstone!" in

No Salvation for Him.
A country minister, who was out
walking one afternoon, was surprised
upon coming to a turn In the road, to
hear some one who was approaching
him swearing violently.
As he rounded the bend he was hor-
rified to meet a small barefoot lad
driving a yoke of oxen and alternate-
ly lashing them with his whip and
strings of profanity. The minister as-
costed the lad and began to lecture
him upon the outcome of such vices.
Finally, the dominie paused, and the
boy broke in, saying.
"Gol dern It, parson, yer only wastin'

MANY FAKES WITH BEES
Nonswarming Hives Are Delusion,
Pure and Simple—"Shook Swarm"
Plan Is Described.
Most of the so-called nonswarming
hives aro fakes pure and simple. The
very last word on the subject Is that
of the "shook swarm" plan, that en-
ables the beekeeper to swarm each
hive artificially at his convenience and
not that of the bees. This Is the best
method In vogue and Is really very
simple. Dr. D. Everett Lyon explains
the process in the Farm and Home:
When a hive gives evidence that It Is
thinking about swarming, as seen In
the bees clustering on the outside of
tLe hive and the presence of queen
cells started in the brood nest, it is
time to shake them.
Take an empty hive with lid and
bottom board in place and with the
frames of the hive containing strips of
foundation wax in place as full combs.
Place the empty hive alongside the
one about to swarm and then, lifting
the brood frames from the old hive,
shake off from each frame almost all
the bees until all the frames have
been so shaken in front of the new
hive, being sure to shake the queen
along with the bees.
Then set the old hive with Its brood
nest off some distance end put the
new hive with the bees in Its place.

GOOD FARMING
from evaporating. The land should
; be well filled with vegetable matter
at all times and no woods or foreign
crop should be allowed to grow oa
the field. The principal thing neces-
sary for this work is good horses so
that deep plowing may be done, a
good plow, disk and drag harrow. A
good system of crop rotation should
be also introduced, as it is much bet-
ter to keep the soil in good condition,
fre^ of insects nnd plant diseases
than when a single crop is grown.—

I do not Ilko the term "Dry Farm-
ing" for water is necessary to grow
any kind of a crop. I think a much
better term would be "Good Farming "
because in fill parts of the country
crops suffer sometime during fcheir
growing period from an insufficient
supply of water. Oklahoma haB a suf-
iicient rainfall to produce maximum
crops every year if all the water
which falls could be stored In the soil.
The first thing then Is deep, early
fall plowing on soils which do not
drift in order to make a reservoir,
(hen proper methods of cultivation
should be pursued to keep this water

we have found that will kill them
which would not at the same time be
injurious to the plants, so hand pick-
ing seems the only remedy. It makes
quite a difference in the amount of
work done whether hand picking is
commenced early In the season or not
until the new crop of bugs appear.
Paper Clothing.
The latest idea Is clothing made of
paper. A representative of a large
English firm of paper manufacturers
states that they are at the present
moment experimenting in the hope of
producing a kind of paper really suit-
able for the making of clothes which
can be sewn and hold buttons. "Pa-
per towels are an excellent idea—these
are made In Germany," he said. Pa-
per hats have been a fashion for
some time. Instead of wearing wash-
able cotton sun bonnets and caps,
children can have each day a new pa-
per hat costing from two cents to
twelve cents, which takes one Item off
the washing bill. Paper shirts are
being produced at 12 cents apiece,
while the cost of a paper handker-
chief Is two cents—the price of the
washing of a linen one. In the house-
hold, too. the washing bill can be
largely reduced by using paper In-
stead of linen, for now there are paper
blinds—lace edged—paper Ferviettes.
paper toilette mats, paper dollies, pa-
per table covers, while paper toweling
could be adapted to kitchen use for
tea cloths, dusters and similar arti-
cles.
COVERING ALFALFA IN CORN
Home-Made Device Shown In Illustra-
tion Found Quite Convenient in
Southeastern Ohio.
Sometimes farmers obtain good re-
sults from sowing alfalfa between the
rows of standing corn. Where this is
done it Is often a puzzle to get the
seed properly covered. The ac-
companying Illustration Is a home-
made plank drag. 34 Inches wide and

22 Inches long, that is used for a pur-
pose on a small alfalfa and truck
farm in southeastern Ohia, where the
Ohla station has experimented In de-
termining practical methods In small
farming.
Bees ai\d
Farm Motes
To keep lawns in good condition,
practice weekly mowing.
Thousands of bushels of grain are
spoiled every year by poor stacking.
Alfalfa Is ready to cut when the
crowns begin to send up new shoots."
Train up the tomato plants, it will
give them 6ize and they will bear bet-
ter.
Don't forget to take water to the
field for the horses during these hot
days.
It Is a well known fact that alfalfa
does not do well upon an Impervious
subsoil.
The humus content of the soli Is Im-
portant In the orchard.
"Too little phosphorus" Is the cause
of many of the low yields on corn
belt soils.
There seems to be a good deal of
prejudice against millet because it ex-
hausts the soil.
The yellow condition of the alfalfa
Indicates that It has not received suf-
ficient nitrogen.
Sand and hairy vetch compare very
favorably with alfalfa and clover hay
as a feed for milch cows.
It is estimated that ten years of
single cropping will wear out any but
the very richest of soil.
Use the ho© in the garden a little
every day. It will give good returns
for all the time you put In that way.
Paling corn fodder Is a new idea,
but if it works out well It will 6ave
a good deal of hard and disagreeable
work.
It is always a good plan to use
plenty of seed in planting cucumbers,
cantaloupes, melons, etc. The hills
may be thinned out later.
Oats and peas should be cut for hay
when the oats are in the milk stage
and the advance pea pods contain
reasonably good sized peas.

pay that subscription to the dail,, which was $5.00. I found out after-
wards that I handed the agent a $lo.uo bill and didn't notice it until he
