A School of Zoology.
Dr. Gustav Loisel, who is a professor
of zoology in the Sorbonne, is making
persistent efforts to have the mena-
gerie in the Jardin des Plantes adapt-
ed to the needs of experimental sci-
ence. He would have it eo transformed
as to become a school of zoological re-
search without at the same time ceas-
ing to bo a place of entertainment for
the people. Such a plan has been
partly carried out In Bronx park, so
says the New York Post, so that cer-
tain fauna are permitted to live and
breed almost as if they were In “the
wild.” The experimental stations in
this country where marine animals
and plants may be studied have proved
of the highest value to science; and
the laboratory in connection with the
Naples aquarium has long been a fa-
vorite resort for naturalists. Two of
Dr. Loisel's suggestions are not likely
to meet with popular approval. One is
to do away altogether with the monkey
house, which he says is infected with
tuberculosis, and the other is to dimin-
ish the number of the more formidable
wild animals to make room for beasts
whose habits may be more conveni-
ently studied. But in general there is
no good reason why the zoological col-
lections of the world should not be
adapted to the needs of students of na-
tural history who should have advan-
tages analogous to those already en-
joyed by workers in botany and ia the
fine arts.

How Oysters Are Fattened.
At Lynnhaven, Va„ the United
States bureau of fisheries has been
working for several years on a plan to
establish an artificial fattening bed
for oysters. The oyster lives chiefly
on diatoms and other microscopic ma-
-rine plants. These plants require for
their growth a large supply of inorgan-
ic salts in the water. The necessary
plant food is supplied by putting com-
mercial fertilizers into the water. The
fattening bed must be in shallow wa-
ter, so as to have a relatively high
temperature. A wall is maintained
around the fattening ground, expla ns
Country Life in America, so as to re-
tain the fertilizer and diatoms. Even
after the diatoms have multiplied enor
mously the oysters receive no benefit
from them unless a current is main-
tained in the water to carry the food
to the oysters. Salt water is pumped
in to prevent the fattening beds from
becoming too fresh, and a little lime
is added to the water to prevent the
growth of algae and other plants
which would give a disagreeable flavor
to the oysters. Too much lime, on
the other hand, will destroy the food
plants of the oyster. The process
seems somewhat complicated, but it
has been demonstrated to be feasible
and to yield fine results in the num
ber and quality of oysters.
The sketches shown were taken
from a house famed for its excellent
linens. The housekeeper at large and
the prospective bride will find these
of pertinent interest and for prices
that will not warrant a woman doing
them by hand unless she has sufficient
ability, patience and leisure at her
disposal.
There are several distinct styles in
top sheets.
The plain hemstitched border three
inches wide, a style that looks well
with initials or monogram; an em-
broidered scalloped edge below a hem-
stitched border, and a running border
of embroidery, sometimes combined
with drawn work or lace for elaborate
sets, are usually employed for trous-
seaux.
Initials or monograms are placed in
the center just above the decoration
of a running border. For a scalloped
border, the lettering should go above
the hemstitching, and the same rule
applies for a plain three-inch hem-
stitched border. Initials and mono-
grams are more often placed in the
center of the cases, but rather at the
ends, the latter style being much
favored some years ago. Old English
lettering is very fashionable, so also is
fancy script. More elaborate designs
show monograms and initials deli-
cately entwined with wreaths and tiny
eyelets.
A simple and effective design for
top sheet and pillow case consists of
A charming coverlet is of sheer
Irish linen, decorated with bow knots
and florals in hand embroidery, and
a wide homstitched flounce that act as
a valance. The spread sweeps over
the coverlet enveloping the roll, as
do the majority of expensive ones, and
lurther beautified by a monogram.
The sheer coverlets are usually placed

Quite as tempting in their way, if
over color, the ribbon being caught at
the end of the roll to match the slip.
Several designs are available in
these sheer spreads, with day pillows
to match, having a narrow border that
harmonizes with the center decora-
tion on spread.
A bed dressed in this manner with
lingerie coverlet makes a most dainty
appearance, and looks especially well
with the dull satin finish brass, now
in vogue.
A rich, antique yellow satin looks
especially well and is a very fashion-
able hue for bedroom decorations.
This color seems to blend very well
with the deep cream filet lace.
Women who are unfamiliar with
French slumber rolls should hasten
to make their acquaintance. They be-
long to the essential bedtime com-
forts. The shape of the roll enables
it to fit directly into the nape of the
neck, such as a larger pillow cannot
be made to do.
Those who are troubled with insom-
nia or neuralgia will find these rc 11s
to bo a source of much comfort and
satisfaction.
Two designs are shown, both hand-
embroidered.
One is decorated with square medal-
lions of cutout work and delicate de-
signs of padded embroidery, the
whole mounted over a pink satin slip.
Another slumber roll has a wide

Permanent Cattle Feeding Racks.
of the Prairie Farmer. The feature
of this rack is that it is permanently
located with corner-posts driven into
the ground, to which the bottom sides
of the rack are built. “Old Reader"
says that he does his feeding each
year in the same lot, and for this rea-
son is able to use fixed feeding racks.
He reports that they are more satis-
factory to him than racks that are
movable.
GERMS IN MILK.
How They May Be Kept Out by Rea-
sonable Care.
Feeding hay and dry grain just be-
fore or at milking time fills the air of
the stable with dust. This dust settles
into the milk pail carrying bacteria
with it. thus increasing the germ con-
tent of the milk. Feeding dry corn
stover at milking time has the same
effect as the feeding of hay and grain,
only in a more marked degree, since
corn stover usually contains more
Appearance comes first, as being
most readily judged of. Solid colored,
or almost solid colored, animals are
very generally preferred, as a matter
of taste, but white markings of great-
er or lesser extent are no indication
either of admixture of the blood of
another breed or of dairy inferiority.
The general health and apparent con-
stitution of the cows are matters of
prime importance to be looked into.
She should show good depth through
the body when viewed from front or
rear, with a capacious barrel, indicat-
ing a good feeder. The udder should
be large and well rounded out, both in
front and rear, with large and evenly
placed teats. The milk veins should
be prominent, the back level, the eye
large and placid, the hide soft and
pliable and of a yellow color. The
scale of points drawn up and adopt-
ed by the American Jersey cattle club
will prove an excellent and instructive
guide In judging a Jersey cow.
The best way, however, of determin-
ing the merits 6f any dairy cow, says
Farm and Home, Is to use a pair of
scales to ascertain the quantity of the
milk and a Babcock tester to ascer-
tain its quality, or percentage of fat.
The ancestry of the cow is also well
worthy of Some attention; for if she
conies of good dairy strains of blood,
similar qualities are to be expected
in her. As to the particular family
to which she may belong, it is well to
remember that there are good Jerseys
to be found in all families.

Berry Party an Amusing and Season-
able Entertainment.
The board of regents of the Uni-
versity of California have decided on
plans for the establishment cf an
academy of Pacific coast history, v*th
the great Bancroft library as a foun-
dation upon which to build up a great
collection of works dealing with the
ethnology, geography and history of
the whole Pacific coast, Hawaii,
Alaska and Spanish America. It is
proposed to house this vast library
in the new building which will be
constructed with the Charles J. Doe
bequest of $750,000. It is estimated
the expense of maintaining the insti-
tution will be $10,000 a year Aid
will be sought from the bureau of his-
torical research, recently established
In Washington by the Carnegie In-
stitute, and an active campaign will
be inaugurated to secure sufficient
funds for the proper maintenance and
increase of the collection.
"In Algeria." says the Spatula, "the
cultivation of ‘vegetable sponges' is
•now making progress. The cultivation
of this plant (of which about ten spe-
,cies are known and cultivated in the
warm regions of Asia and Africa) Is
fairly extensive in the environs of Al-
giers and Oran. Prior to maturity the
fruit is edible; when the stage of ripe-
'ness has been passed, however, the
jpulp becomes separated from the
ifibrous matter, which then forms the
spongy mass termed the ‘vegetable
sponge.’ Fine specimens, when care-
fully bleached in a weak lime bath, are
sold at from 3t£ to 4>/6 pence (seven
to nine cents) apiece. Paris is at pres-
ent the chief market for most of the
vegetable sponges grown in Algeria.
The) are highly suitable not onlv for
toilet and bathroom, but also for do-
mestic purposes."

berries for each couple, the man to [
string a berry necklace and the girl
a watch chain; the ends to be tied
with the ribbons.

some form of entertainment for an
afternoon party of about 50 elderly
ladies and what should be served for
refreshments, the guests to be accom-
modated in two large rooms and the
dining-room seating 25 at a time?
Please help "an anxious" hostess, and
greatly oblige a reader of your de-
partment.
Well, make the affair informal, a:ul
in consequence most enjoyable. 1
should ask each guest to bring a bit
of needlework and a picture of her-
self taken at least 25 years ago. These
pictures when circulated will promote
conversation, and to the person guess-
ing the most a little souvenir may be
awarded. Then I should have a pro-
gramme of songs and instrumental
pieces, such as 'Flow Gently, Sweet
Afton,” "Maiden's Prayer,” “Annie
Laurie,” "Blue Bells of Scotland,” etc.
About the middle of the afternoon
pass grape juice punch made by
flavoring grape juice with lemon,
making very sweet and freezing, just
before serving place a spoonful of
whipped cream on top of each glass.
In the dining-room have the table
lit with candles and a lady to preside
at the tea and coffee tirns, pass dainty
chicken sandwiches, olives, nuts, pep-
permint and small cakes and wafers.
This is a great, sufficiency for an aft-
ernoon party.
MADAME MERP.I.
the pressure of air bags on the teats,
dust and bacteria than does hay and | The process of milking is a silent one,
and the milk is drawn thoroughly, ac-
cording to witnesses of the-operation
of the new machine. It is planned to
milk 12 cows at a time with this ma-
chine and jvith It little power is re-
quired. The owners of the new In
vention claim for it the following
points:
(a) As campared with all suction
machines;
1. The teat is not congested by the
unnatural action of vacuum as a milk
extractor. Hence the cow "lets down
freely instead of resisting, and there-
fore (a) there is no need for hand
stripping; (b) the cow is not "dried
off," and (c> no harm whatever is
done if the machine is left on longer
than needed. *
2. Cleanliness—the milk does not
pass through rubber tubing.
lb) As compared with all known
attempts at no..-suction machines:
1. Absolute softness of fluid pres-
sure as contrasted with pressure cf
anything solid.
2. Absence of wheels, pistons or
other mechanism in region of teat
". No harnessing around the cow's
body is included in the attachment
grain.
\\ iping the flank and udder of the
cow with a damp cloth just before
milking will help reduce the number
of bacteria which fall Into the milk
pail. The practice of brushing cows
it milking time is undesirable. The
hair and dust which are thus set free
into tbo atmosphere settle into the
milk pail during the process of milk-
ing and vary materially aid in making
it spoil.
Stripping a cow dry. says Farm and
Home, tends to reduce the number of
bacteria found in the milk at the next
milking while leaving a small amount
of strippings in the udder increases
the number of bacteria at tlie next
milking. This is probably due to the
fact that the greater manipulation
necessary to thoroughly strip the cow
removes many bacteria which would
otherwise remain in the udder to mul-
tiply during the time before the next
milking.
Unfair Methods.
Farmers are often called conserva-
tive but it needs a stronger word to
describe the patrons of a cheese fac-
tory who vote to discontinue paying
for milk on the basis of the butter-fat
lest. I have in mind a certain factory
where milk had been paid for accord-
ing to tost for two or three seasons,
conclusively proving to some of the
patrons that their herds were a losing
proposition, and to others that thev
were securing a good profit. Did the
gear.
BUTTER PRICES.
Some Reasons Why They Are Main
tained at High Figure.

about the fact that with all the sup-
owners of the worthless cows dispose | posed great increase in creameries

ened neighbors to give them aims, to
share their profits to make up the de-
ficiencies of the worthless cows. Un-
fortunately for the interests of good
stock there are still too many fac-
tories that buy milk at so much a hun-
dredweight. Needless to say they are
not located in the best dairy sections.

Keeping the Cows Clean.
Cows can be kept clean in the
stables by a little attention to the
length of the standing doors and the
height of same. If the place on which
a cow stands is too long she will be-
come dirty and it will be practically
impossible to keep her clean. If the
length of the platform is Just great
enough so that the droppings will fall
beyond it. the cow will be kept clean
with ease. Cows differ in length, and
(2) That the more dense the cow
population becomes in any section, the
less proportion of heifer calves are
raised.
(3) That the increase in milk con-
sumption has beeen so great that a
very large share of the cows of the
country have been diverted from but-
ter-malting to that business.
(4) That the increase of cows in
this country is only about five per
cent, yearly, so it takes about 20
years to double the cow population.
to) That the progress of dairy ideas
among farmers is teaching them to
weed out the unprofitable cows, thus
reducing very perceptibly the milk
supply for unprofitable butter-making.
Hi) That the percentage of increase
of population is much greater than the
percentage of increase in cows, while

City, on the Santa Fe, unconscious
with a blow from a wagon spoke, rob-
bed the depot money drawer of what
small change it contained and escaped.
Miss Heekert was found unconscious
lying near the station. There were
three cuts on her head and her arm
had been broken in three places. She
recovered consciousness later and said
her assailant was a white man about
25 years of age. The description fits
that of Leonard D. Conner, a private
of Company I Engineer corps, who
escaped Wednesday from tbe Federal
military prison at Ft. Leavenworth,
Kan. Conner is 22 years old. He was
born in Holton, Kan., and his mother,
Mrs. Abbie Conner, lives in Topeka.
Miss Heekert had gone to the coal
box a few paces from the station for
a bucket of coal when she was at-
tacked. The robber secured less than
three dollars from the cash drawer.
He escaped across the river near
town and is reported to have been
seen early Thursday near Lenape,
