The Island of Madeira, which lies off the west coast of Morocco, natural ly never sees any snow. Nevertheless, sleighs are to be found there, and In place of the swift and graceful rein deer they are drawn by the slow, clum sy ox. Tho streets of Madeira are paved with smooth round stones, and over these atone the runners of the sleighs travel quite freely. In fact, the motion of the sleigh Is much smoother than would be that of a whiH'led vehicle, because tho runners readily pass over small depressions In the pavement without Jur. The passenger sleigh hns upholstered seat and figured curtains to protect the occupants from the weather as well as from the gaze of the curious.

What our pnrt may sig nify in tho great whole we may not understand; but we nre here to play it, and now is our time. This we know: It Is a part of action, not of whining. It Is a part of love, not cynicism. It Is for uso to express love In terms of human helpfulness. David Starr Jordan. Litter for the poultry house floor is not only necessary In plentiful quanti ties, but It should also be of satisfac tory quality. The two main points are to have a material that will not break up Into chaff or powder too quickly, and which will not be Inclined to ab sorb moisture. Litter that breaks up quickly makes the house overly dusty and often cnusos dlKense of the noso or throat or sore eyes by fine particles being thrown Into the hen's eyes when scratching. Litter thnt absorbs mois ture quickly Is especially bad In tho winter months, when sunshine Is scarce and has little drying power. Damp or filthy litter often makes a good breeding place for disease germs. Litter should always be a mnterlal thnt Is digestible If eoten by the hens, for a certain 'amount is invariably con sumed. Wheat or rye straw is one of the best materials for the litter, ns it Is tough and lasts well, although at the same' time light enough In weight that the bona can easily kick it around. These strnws also have tho desirable quality of being slow to absorb moisture. Oat straw does not muke quite such good litter, ns It becomes damp too quickly, Alfnlfn or clover hay does not make good litter, as it la heavy, powders quickly and In damp weather ubsorbs molsturo readily, becoming soggy even from the dump air in the house. Of course, this is somewhat offset by tho fact that tho chickens will eat oft the leaves of the hay, which Is good for them. For the floor of brooders or colony coops, short-cut hay Is one of the best nmterlols that can be used when cut in two or three-Inch lengths and spread on the floor to the depth of about an inch. Leaves of various kinds (such ns fall from the trees in tho autumn) can be stored and used for litter. second hog was a thoroughbred Po land, which dressed 545 pounds.
