Isabel Darlington graduated the other day from the law department of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, the only woman in aclass of 74. She was also one of the 17 members of the class who received their diplomas cum laude.

Mrs. John Elitch of Denver is probably the only woman in the world who owns and personally manages a zoological gar- den. She drives a large ostrich attached to a light spring wagon. He is a ‘‘pacing bird’’ and travels rapidly in harness.

POULTRY NOTES.

Never use sulphur with grease to drive away the lice.

Young ducks require more bulky feed than chickens.

It is alinost tmpossible to have healthy fowls if the quarters are filthy.

Do not pluck the geese until the goslings are all hatched and out of the way.

Generally the more active the breed the less liable the fow)s are to fatten.

Feed the turkeys liberally with grain at night asan inducement for them to come home.

For diarrhea in chickens give them boiled milk in which some chalk has been stirred.

Lime and lice do not agree. sticks, the lice will not. wash freely.

By using a good spray pump for apply- ing kerosene, every crack and crevice in the poultry house can be filled with it.

While soft fved is more ensily digested than whole grain, a chicken fed exelusive- ly upon it will shrink more in dressing.

A good egg producing ration for sum- mer is wheat and oats mixed with sweet milk, with a good bran mash.—st. Louis Repubiic.

TIRE PUNCTURES.

The Rey. Thomas Gregory says that the bicycle’ threatens civilization. However, if civilization will keep out of the parks and not try to cross the street, there will be no danger.—Chicago Post.

It is noticeable that the old folke are not as severe on bicycles as they used to be. The wheel bas been shown to bea promoter of romance and as #@ means of saving gas bills nothing has been found to equal it.— Baltimore American.

Those dancing masters who complain that the bicycle is destroying their business are not wise. They should invent a step which will enable the ordinary citizen to dance out of the way of the scorcher.— Memphis Commercial Appeal.

If the lime Use lime white-

It is noted as a singular fact that while |

most of the street bicycle accidents last year resulted in injury to pedestrians, this season it is the wheelman who is generally hurt. It would seem as if the pedestrian had become more expert in the art of dodg- ing and the wheelman more reckless in his scorching.—Paterson Call.

ARCHITECTURAL.

In the great church at Mengo, Uganda, there are over 200 trees to support the roof. Each of these trees took 100 men to draw it up the hill.

The Manhattan Life building, New York city, which is 350 feet high, is the tallest business edifice in the world. It is 70 feet higher than the famous ‘Trinity church steeple.

The oldest wooden building in the world is a church at Borgund, Norway. It was arected in the eleventh century, and fre- quent coats of pitch have preserved the wood from decay.

The tower of Babel at Babylon was com- posed of eight square towers, one upon the other, the pile being 660 feet high. Baby- ‘on was & square, 15 miles on each side, che walls being 87 feet thick and 870 feet high.
