The clouds may lie Along tho hills and storm winds fiercely blow, Tho great red sunshlno llko a thine of woo And death's sad skeleton stalk grimly by, Yet none of these, no matter how tbey try, Can shroud the perfect triumph we shall know Or dim the glory that somo star will show, Set far away In depths of purple sky. Sweet lovo may bring to us this day su preme, Or It may thrill our souls through art or' song Or meet us where red battlo surges foam; Hopo's stranded wrecks tho barren coasts may gleam, And weeks' and months dash by a somber throng.

Thomas, president of Mid dlebury college, says Uint a year or two ago a certain town employed a trained superintendent, a college mnn who knew what a school ought to be, to exerclso supervision over nil- the schools of that town. It was the first time some of those schools had over been visited In an ofllclal capacity by a salaried administrative olllcer. In one school n little toddler was found study ing percentage, learning It by heart. "You should not tench him percent age." tho superintendent said. "He does not know how to add and sub tract." "Hut I'vo got to," the teacher an swered. "The front part of tho 'rlth luetic is torn out." FEATHERS AND EGQSHELL8. Tho fellow with the "marvelous se cret" to tell tho sex of eggs is ngnln abroad.

An editor arises to rcmnrk: "Thero Is no swent, no strain, no worry, over chickens. Tho Industry seems to enro for Itself and cares extremely well." This editor Is not a liar, but ho Is badly mistaken. Farmers are gradually getting nway from that old stylo of exclusive corn rations for hens. To those who nro still In the rut we quote the rime, "Lnylng strains, earnest pains and mixed grains for best gains." It Is quite amusing to see some of our harebrained poultry writers using the n priori nnd Charles Darwin theo ries In their profound discussion of rooster origin nnd hen heredity. If Darwin could read their fool stuff he'd surely turn turtle. When tho head of tho query depart ment of a Philadelphia dally advised an inquirer to grease her old White Rocks thoroughly with lard nnd kero sene and to repeat the dose In a week she certainly didn't think what nn aw ful mess such a mixture of grease and rooster would make and yet some more if, the birds took a dust bath. The fools and the city farmers aren't all dead yet. you bet! Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Is advocating the "loss off" system for the sale of all eggs. Under the old plan eggs ,nre sold by the dozen re I'ardlcss of whether good, bad or In different Under the "loss off" plan tho eggs are candled and the seller Is not paid for the bad oties. This Is a good plan, but the seller should be a witness to the candling to guard against a rotten deal. Dr. Max Staller of Mount Slnnl hos pital. Philadelphia, has successfully used the lining of eggshells as a sub stltutu for human skin In grafting op erations. This lining Is really the epi dermis of embryonic chickens, con tains cells similar to human skin, quickly adheres to tho burned surface and covers It wltb beautiful new skin.
