"Well." tald (be (locking, "I have sked, and I am atlll asking, and I cannot help It If yog are torprlsed that I. of all crea turn, thould be asking. "I don't understand, and when a 'n ature or a tiling doesn't understand It ouKht to ask questions," the loek tt'g continued. "There are some crea ture who are Cowardly about It : yea, Miches, they are actually afraid." "You're not one of the cowardly ones, are your grinned the atltihea, but they didn't grin too much, for they tlidn't want to break. "No. 1 am thankful to lay I do not. Ro I ask question.

Of course we go with ber when she "Saved a Whole Stocking." . .. walk for the aake of walking, but there I nothing cowardly about her. "She will alway ask question. That I where he learns all she does, and the never take foolish and ex tra atep because she wouldn't ask." "Well," said the atltches, "that I fine, "but we're hoping that she doesn't spend so much time asking questions that die never takee the time to lis ten to the answer." "No," said the stocking, "ahe never doe that." .. . "Tou haven't followed her example there, hove your asked the stitches. "Perhaps not," aald the stocking. "1 will admit I haven't been ao anx lou to get your answer. That Is, I have been anxious to get It, but I thought I would give you little free lesson myself first." - "Oh, that was the Idea!"' asked the atltches. J , "les," said the stocking. "But suppose we had to go off be fore we had finished answering your question you might never have known the answer to it. Don't yon think It Is always well to do things at the time?" , "I did something at the time. I told you about brnve and cowardly crea tures ns fnr as asking questions was concerned. But 'atltchet, your Joy in life Is to do things at the time, as you cull It, so go on and tell me now why you are so happy?' "We're happy," said the little stitches, "because we saved you, my dear stocking. We were put In before you had a chunce to run." "Run?" nsked the staking. "There Is no harm in running. I often do that." To be sure," said the stitches, "but ve mean run and yet stand still,"' "What?" asked the stocking. "We snipped a .run In you, not yon running I Do you see? lou were ripping, or dropping stitches, and we were put In to keep you from going further. "There Is an ' old saying." the stitches continued, "about a stitch In time saving nine, but let us tell you. that a stitch In time saves many more than nine, often. We saved a whole stocking from being & perfect dis grace, yes, we did." 'Still, you're a dull lot, despite the good you do," said the quite ungrateful stocking. , . . "Dull, perhaps," said the stitches, "but very useful, so we do not mind be ing dulll" The Things That Make U. .: It does not surprise us that som, unusunUexperienees" Jeave their mark upon us, "We can hardly imagine that the soldiers who come back from Fiance will ever bo Just what they were before. What we fall to realize Is that the experiences which stand out In life have less to do with making character after all, than the little, ev-ery-day nets, repeated countless times. They are a thousand times more po tent. Girls' Compuuion. WHY Is a Black Sheep?-And Some Other Whys Why la there a black heep Id every dock? Because sheep, In their early domes ticated condition, were brown or dirty black, and because nature occasionally "barks back" or revert to early type la nearly all specie. Why doe a red flag Infuriate a bull? Because, according to on theory, the animal "see- red." Tht condition which occurs naturally, Id certain clrrufnitanrns (a on the bat tlefield), In man, rendering hlrn Indif ferent to danger) I produced arti ficially Id the bull, with like result. . Why doe a dog turn round and round before lying down? Because the animal' ancestor, the wild dog. made It bed thus by forming a hol low Id the leaves a&d bravhe. Why ha the umiel gut a hump? Because In It natural state It need an "emergency ration," If deprived of food for several day, It full back on the fnt of It own bump, which then gridually disiippear before tbe limbs are perceptibly reduced. That it carries reserve of water In It stomach I well known. Why It the undcrpart of a rabbit's tall white? Because the appendage has on occasion to serve a a danger ignul. Violently agitated a It la on the approach of danger, It can be seen by other rabbit even at dusk, whereas It might be .wholly Invisible If the color of the tall waa uniform with that of the body. Why has a cot got whiter? Be cause otherwise and this applies to the whole of the Mine family, Includ ing lion and tiger its eyes would lose sight of prey, such as bird or mice, through fatigue arising from concentration.

To prepare the cheaper kind of woods by a patented method that makes them more durable Is tbe pur pose of a concern just organized In Koge, Denmark, according to the com mercial attache In Copenhagen. The woods especially to be prepared are birch, ash and elm, all wood treat ed by this process behig called teakin wood. ; Certain changes In the character of the wood that normally take place only after many years of drying are by this chemical process produced within 24 hours. Thereafter, when the mois ture that may still be left haa evapor ated, .the wood become' harder and more durable than by the aging proc es. . ' Teakin birch I of a beautiful golden brown color and when polished with potash It takes on a mahogany red line. Teakin ash Is a substitute for teak. Teakin elm has none of the dis advantages of natural elm. Teakin fir Is of a uniform, color all through and Is used for office fitting and furniture and for veneering. VI ow to Exterminate Pest. Rats In the United States cause an annual loss amounting to millions of dollars. Among food products that suffer, grain In storage Is perhaps the most Important. Buildings under proc ess of construction and intended to hold grain should be made rat and mouse proof; and elevators and other structures already built, should be re enforced agnlnst the pests, says F. L. Washburn, . economic soologlst at Wis consin University farm. A bulletin on the extermination of rats and mice, written by Mr. Wash burn, may be had wltfiout charge on application to the office of publications. University Farm." "Uses of Concrete on the Farm," bulletin 461, Issued by the United States department of agri culture, gives details for the use of concrete In preventing losses by rats and mice. This bulletin Is also for free distribution. Application for It should be made to'the division of pub lications. United States department of agriculture, Washington. How Russia Is Suffering. If the people who stand In queues for one single day in Russia were queued In tne queue, they'd go seven times around the world and get as far ns Peoria Jen the eighth lap. I sup pose my most vivid Impression of rev olutionary Russia Is that of an endless line of ttred, hungry, disheartened people. In ; America a queue means something that Chinamen used to wear before! Japan hecame emplrialls tlc. In Russia a queih) means the only road that leads anywhvre and to any thing. People stand In llir for hours on end to draw their pitiful rations of i quarter otr a half-pound of sou(black bread ; they stand on" one footVnd then on the other, and then move up a foot In order to buy a pair pf shoe" strings. And if they want to start on a railroad Journey on, let us say, Fri day? they begin queuing alopg some time around Monday, Exchange.

F01M Mrs- WHITE LEGHORN IS POPULAR Most Widely Kept of Egg Breeds Market Prefer Whit Eggs and Pay Premium for Them, (Prepared by the United State Depart- j ment of Agriculture.) .Egg production doubtless.it the leading branch of. poultry keeping;, and. In addition, It a Very Important agricultural activity. According to the last census the eggs produced in the United States In 1909 numbered more than 1,591,000,000 . doiens, with a value of more than 1306,000,000. Eggs, of course, are produced wherever chickens are kept, and by far the greater part of the egg crop comes from the general farm, yet large so called egg farms have been developed with the main purpose cf producing eggs for market. The largest of these egg farms and the greater number of them are located near markets which pay a premium for white eggs; and for this reason, together with the fact that eggs are primarily desired, the breeds kept are those known as the Splendid Flock pf White Leghorn. egg breeds, such its the Leghorn, Camptne, Minorca and Ancona. The Single Comb White Leghorn Is un doubtedly the most popular and the most widely kept variety of tbe egg breeds. These V breeds comprise the Mediterranean and Continental classes, as given in the American Standard of Perfection. The egg breeds frequently are found on gen eral farms also, particularly in those sections .near markets preferring white egg, and where considerable! flocks of poultry are kept - ; 13 "
