On the Authority of Samuel Pepyi, the Following Account of Historic Incident li Given to the World. If you "toll It to the marine," ba quite aura you bava It right, for that warring amphibian la not the credu lous personage you have alway sup- posed him to be.

It Is WHAT BRITISH CONSOLS ARE Not Bonds, as We Use Term, but Perpetual Obligations of the , British Nation, The British government debt really dates back to 1G72, when It bore 6 per cent Interest. Since then the major wars of the world bave been recorded with more or less exactness In the fluctuations of interest return to In vestors In British bonds. Incidentally, A very ancient and honorable British institution Is now apparently In the way of being extinguished. In the middle of the eighteenth century about the time young George Wash ington was surveying In the wilds of Virginia England's government debt was consolidated Into a uniform Is sue bearing. 8 per cent Interest; bence arose the venerated name "consols, long boasted as the world's premier security. War with the American colonies and with Napoleon sent consols down to 47 cents on the dollar, but by 1824 they were up to 96, and England set tied back Into a conviction that ber government bonds, bearing not more than 3 per cent interest, were among the permanent phenomena of nature says the Saturday Evening Post. Noarly a generation ago Mr. Goschen reduced the Interest on consols to 2 per cent, then to 2H per cent, and at the latter rate they presently sold above par. Consols are not really bonds, as we use the term, because the principal Is not payable at all. They are the per petual obligation of the British gov ernment, and the purchaser, Instead of getting a sheet of engraved paper, with coupons attached, gets merely an entry on the Bank of England's books signifying that Interest Is payable to him. Recently parliament authorized a loan of $5,000,000,000 payable In 30 years and bearing 4ft per cent Inter est. Consols are convertible Into the new loan at the rate of 662-3 cents on the dollar, by which process they may disappear. What other ancient and honorable Institutions the war may swallow up Is problematical.

The common silverfish (Leplsma saccharlna) Is a well-known and trou blesome household insect, but Its near relative Thermobia domestics, known In England as the "fire-brat," is less familiar. In a recent department of agriculture bulletin on silverfish Mr. C. L. Marlatt calls attention to the curious habit which the fire-brat has developed of frequenting ovens and fireplaces, where It seemingly revels In an amount of heat that would be fatal to moBt other Insects. The writer says: "It disports Itself in numbers about the openings of ranges and over the hot bricks and metal, manifesting a most surprising Immunity from the effects of high temperature." It was first described in this country In 1873, and began to be noted commonly about 1895 In Europe. It Is of about the same size and general appearance as the silverfish, except for some dusky markings. I HI w 11 Opportunities of the Horse Breeder In ine nonnwen, About the professional horse breed er I shall have little to say. He Is abundantly able to take caie of him self and, If he is as roresigntoa as ne should be he will profit by the Im pending conditions which will soon make borBe breeding one of the most profitable phases of animal husbandry In this country. Henry Ford and the European war conditions have completely changed the aspect of the horse business In this country the first by putting the poor horse out of business and the socond by practically cleaning the country of the lighter and less useful farm horses and both in causing con ditions which make for the advantage of the drafter. More than any other country the United States is a UBer of agricultural machinery and, as our machines have become heavier and more complicated we have suffered from lack of farm power. Motors will not supply this lack as they are yet too expensive both In cost and operation and they do not suddIv tho mobility of power af forded by the horse and neeaea oy the farmer. The reason for this lack or power Is not far to seek. It bas been the long continued and almost universal practice for farmers to breed their mares to the nearest stallion regard less of breed or type but, all the time, very regardful of the size of the serv Ico fee. Too often the farmer will breed his mares to a Percheron one year, a Clyde or a Shire the next and then to a Btandard bred, a Morgan or a grade the next with the result that he bas all kinds and types of horses on his farm at the same time. The raising of puro bred draft horses on the farm should now offer greater opportunities than ever be fore. I mention the drafter particular ly because he Is the only kind for the farmer and his market for his surplus animals. Never breed a mare to a stallion that la not of her own breed and never, under any circumstances, use a stallion that Is not better than the mare. Good draft horses are just as essential as good seed or good ma chinery and the foals from pure bred parents are worth at least double any other kind. And then feed. Draft horses cannot be made without feed. Push the col( from three weeks to three years, give him plenty of open air and exercise, and he will pay you as well as anything on the farm. I. D.

In its primitive form and meaning the word Is of early Anglo Saxon origin, when no young woman was thought fit to be a wife till she had spun for herself an outfit of per sonal, table and bed linen; hence spin ner or spinster. The fine and sacred word wife (Saxon wlf) has a somewhat similar origin In the Saxon verb wy fan or wefan, to weave, the weaver being the natural successor of the spinner. There was nothing derisive In the term spinster and It Is still used In legal documents to designate an unmarried woman. The Substance Is Smeared on a Boiler, and the Machine Then Tells How Sticky the Material Is. stance is; so to find out the power of different oils to hold dust, and the binding coat, the "adhesive machine" was constructed. The little invention consists of an Inner and outer cylinder, the latter a hundredth of an Inch larger than the former. The material to be tested Is placed between these two cylinders and the whole combination Is mount ed horizontally. A rope and a weight are attached to the outer cylinder; a water-cooling Jacket keeps the tem perature uniform, with a tall ther mometer on the device keeping the record, and the test starts. The time required for the weights to turn the outer cylinder three times Is the fig ure which decides the test. A mini mum time of 300 seconds has been es tablished as a requirement for all oils. The balsam preparation used for sticky fly paper has an adhesive test figure of about 250 seconds. Il lustrated World. A Good Milker le elMTe a aeaftfty WW. . M.

Science in the Kitchen. To plan a kitchen successfully one must consider carefully the scientific arrangement thereof. After the loca tion of the stove haB been decided upon, the sink must be placed. This necessitates a consultation with the plumber, as well as with the architect, since Its position Is largely dependent upon the location of the water pipes and upon the drainage. A generous space should be allotted to the sink; also, It should be suffi ciently large to permit two persons to work comfortably there. It must be well lighted by ample windows placed above it; If these are double-hung gash windows, one may have the maxi mum of fresh air, even in extremely cold weather, with no discomfort while washing dishes or otherwise working at the sink.

When Hanch Glover was a farm hand, relates the Howard Courant, he ran away and married his employers daughter, and he had never worn a linen collar or a nightgown, and his wife had to nag at him to get him to wash his feet every Saturday night. When he moved to town and built his new house she had the fight of her life to get him to have a bathtub and hot water equipment built In. But she won out, and now Hanch doesn't see how he ever got along without It.
