Believed To Be "Missing Link." Prof. Van Sickle, who for some months has been making geological charts of the northern part of Java, cables the Academy of Science in Am sterdam that he feels certain that he has discovered the long-looked-for missing link. He does not claim the honor of the discovery himself, but says that some weeks ago he was in formed by a Dutch merchant, Ven Beuren, that he had discovered a new species of monkeys in a dense forest in which he had lost his way. The professor starked out to look into the discovery of the merchant, and while watching for the animals to appear he heard a peculiar, half hu man voice. Looking up, -be saw an c-normous nest and two ape-like ani mals looking down upon him. The natives of that part of "the isl and have long known tue presence of these apes, which they call "Ash Pet nzl." Unlike any other apes, they bathe frequently and the females wear strange necklaces of twigs and red berries, and nurse their young sing ing haif-articulated words. They have, In fact, a language, but it consists of very few words. : 'NOUGH SAU). McFiub-Now, what sort of a cha? i's this fcDow? I want to- know all about, him.

"It's curious, you know, it really ls,:' said a returned summer boarder, ^what affect a good, square meal will have on the imagination. . . . "We arrived at the ead of a long roailroad journey, on our way to where we were to spend the summer, at 5 o'clock in the morning. Then we took a stage aud rode miles further over a hilly road, in the chilly morn ing air to one end of a lake, where we took a steamboat and rode some more miles to our final destination, ar riving lhere at 7 a. m. "Seen under, such circumstances, after being routed out of bed at .4. a. m.. and before breakfast, the scenery was disappointing. The lake seemed not much bigger than a good-sized, mill pond, the trees were all stunted and tho mountains were not much bigger than hills, and we were inclin ed to take a gloomy view of things, and in that frame wc remained until, at. 7:30, tho tocsin sounded aud we went tn for breakfast. "That was a good breakfast, with everything well cooked and admirably served, and with particularly excel lent coffee, and wc had thc appetites of hungry mules and lingered long. "When wo had again come out tho sun was shining and lue lake had been enlarged by four acres at least; each individual tree of all the innumerable thousands that everywhere fringed the lake's shores and rose upward on its mountainous sides had grown forty feet, and thc mountains themselves now climbed to the sky. "It was all noble and restful and beautiful; aud so it remained, grow ing on us all the time as long as we were there. "Hereafter I shall never pass judg ment on scenery till after breakfast." -?-New York Pim OIL ON TROUBLED WATERS. Wind Unable to Obtain a Grip on the Greasy Surface. A few gallons of eil cast upon stormy sees moderates their violence, and prevents the waves from break ing with, force. That this is the casa has long been known. Theophylactcs, tho Byzantine historian of the sixth century, . propounded the question, "Why does oil calm tie sea?" and answered it to the effect that, as the wind is a subtle and delicate thing, and oil is adhesive and unctuous, thc wind glides over the surface of thc water on which oil has been spread and cannot raise waves. The wind, tn fact, slips over the water without be in>; able to obtain a grip. In the Gulf of Mexico there is a re markable stretch of water about two miles long by three-quarters of a mile bread, to which the name of "oil-spot" has been given, because in the worst of storms thc mariner finds still waler here. Its character as a safe harbor' of refuge is said to be due to an oily property of the mud stirred up by tho fctorm. Grateful Change. Clara-Did you have pleasant weatb er at the springs this summer?

He Draws a Distinction for the Benefit of the Dissatisfied Looking Person.' "What's the use of complaining about things?" asked the comfortable looking man. "What's the use of mak ing life a burden to every one' around you with incessant kicking? Does it ever do any good? No sir." "I don't know about that," disput-. ed the dissatisfied-looking person. "If we didn't make an occasional protest when things go wrong I'd like to know how we arc ever going to get any re forms?" "Fussing never does any good," maintained the comfortable-looking man. "If you want to see anybody universally detested take a look at the chronic kicker. I tell you, my friend, amiability counts. It counts at home, in business and in all affairs of life." "Ifs the kicker who brings around improved conditions of things for the rest of us," said the dissatisfied-look ing person. "His motive may be sel fish, but we benefit by it nevertheless. Then we show our gratitude by abus ing him. What do you do yourself if you go into a restaurant and the wait er is inattentive and your food is bad ly cooked? Do you complain tc -the manager or do you not?" "I am glad you asked that ques tion," said the comfortable-lookiing man. "That happened to me not a week ago. I waited nearly ten min utes before the waiter took my order, 20 minutes before my dinner was brought to me-and then it was cold and the beef I ordered well done was rare. Did I kick? No, sir, I got up from the table and presented my ?ar?^ at the cashier's desk. I said pleas antly, 'I, of course, decline to pay for uneatable food, which is the sort that has been served to me. If you wish to recover by process of law, there is my name and address. If you prefer to call the police I shall go to the sta tion without resistance. In any case [ shall not patronize the place again, nor shall I recommend my friends to: do so.' "Thc proprietor had been attracted to the spot by the sound of my voice, which I made perfectly audible. Ho asked me what I had to complain oL I replied that I never complained. Air so I advised him to fire the waiter and to see that those remaining per formed their duties properly. Then I left. He didn't call the police, and had not instituted suit against me." The dissatisfied-looking man looked rather puzzled. "You can't call that complaining, then?'' he asked. "Certainly not. I dispassionately stated ray case and found my own. remedy. At home my remedy is dif ferent. If unfit food is served to me I tfirow it out of tho window or under the table without a word of reproach. That answers thc purpose just as well as grumbling. I noticed on a street car recently that thc conductor was insolent to a woman passenger. I did not report bira. I took him by the collar and ' shook him. A report is usually disregarded, I understand. When a cabman overcharges me I never kick. I just have him arrested and have done with it. Or if it is a lonely spot I am willing lo fight him for the fare. I allow no man or 'wom an to impose on mc if I can Help itl If they do I take my medicine. If everybody did the same there, would be more reforms in a day than could be brought about by complaints in ten years." "Well," said the dissatisfied-looking man, "it strikes me that you are a pretty strenuous kicker yourself." "It's odd you don't see thc differ ence," said the comfortable-looking man.-Chicago News. Money in Literature. "Money in literature? Yes, if you happen to strike it right," said the veteran magazine editor. He was an swering the query of an aspiring young contributor who had met with many rebuffs. "Right here in Philadelphia are several men who have made small fortunes with the aid of their pens. But you must bear in mind the fact that literature is not, or was not origi nally, their sole means of support. Take the case of Dr. 3. Weir Mitchell. He still keeps up his medical practice, purely from the love of it, but he makes more money from his books. "John Luther Long used to have a law practice that meant about $1200 a year to him. Now he averages, I suppose, not less than ?20,000 a year from the sales of his books and th? royalties on his plays. "But Owen Wister is the man who heads the list. He's a lawyer, too, but what's the use of bothering with a little law practice when you can make $40,000 in royalties from- one novel? That's what he made from 'The Vir ginian,' and a theatrical friend of mine told me the other day that he had cleared up $20,000 more on his royal ties from the play."-Philadelphia Record.

The Cots wold of today is in many ways at'vari auce with the old type and it is sel dom now that we sse a- flock of pure bred Cotswold that cannot lay claim to the ideal type of a combined wool and mutton sheep. True, they^are as .large a breed as we have, but did yon ever know of a market on which a prime Cotswold lamo would not bring the top figure? Some very careful experiments have been made in recent years to test the different breeds for profitable feeding. The Cotswold always is right at the top. The now desirable export trade demands the heavy weights that Cots wolds make at two and three years. Cotswold rams have been used by the largest sheep'company in the west chiefly for the last 15 years. New stud-breeding flocks are being found ed all over the country to supply the demand for Cotswold rams that is In creasing with each succeeding year. As sheep of beauty and high charac ter, in their whole general appearance, it can be said that no other breed equals them, and for real sterling qual ities as a wool and mutton producer, they are moro than holding their own in this country. Applying Manure. Farmers will have their own views and practices how to apply the ma nure. Circumstances and conditions will make more or less difference. A farmer should study the matter care fully and by experimenting on his own land try to find the best methods. Both methods of plowing manure under and surface applications are practiced, and each will have ita ad vantages. Coarse, strawy manure should produce thc best results by plowing under, as it is difficult incor porating it with thc -surface soil to any satisfactory degree by harrowing. Turned under .it will bc out of the way of cultivation, decay and furnish food for the roots of the plants as they extend downward. It will aiso serve to lighten thc soil and furnish vegetable matter which is of importance. The writer used to have an idea that surface manuring, at least on his own land, was alto gether the best, but later develop ments rather indicate that plowing the manure under has its advantages, and is to be preferred. Of course, soils, seasons and depth of plowing will have some influence or affect in the matter, and one should not be so decided in his opinions and practices that he will not be willing to make a change when indications point to au improvement in so doing. Then, in conclusion, do all possible of the plowing in the fall, do it in the best manner, and carefully apply all of the manure available in the manner calculated to do the most good-E. R. Towle, in The Massachusetts Plough man. Crib-Biting and Wind Sucking. A noted English veterinarian says . _tpnt he couples these bad habits to gether because they often are insepar able, and says: "Either may exist without the other, but one (crib-biting) may lead to and end in the establishment of the oth er. Crib-biting is habit contracted by idle horses who start by playing with the manger-licking or biting it. It may be copied from the habit of an other horse, aud therefore a crib-biter in a stable is undesirable, because it may teach other horses the habit. Just how and when it arises is a difficult question to answer. I remember one case in which the habit was contract ed In1 only a few days. A horse may "crib" and not windsuck, in which state I hold the horse has a vice. When he wind-sacks; is he vicious or unsound? More cribbing does not dim inish his usefulness. Wind-sucking may not interfere with thc working ca pacity of a horse doing regular, con stant work, but should anything occur to prevent his working-as, for in stance, a lame leg or a sore back-he will soon diminish his capacity for work. Most horses .require some rest ing place for their teeth or jams be fore they wind-suck, but a few are able to do so with no fixed point to rest against. The evil of wind-sucking, I assume, is the distention of the stomach by swallowed air. This leads to gastric defect. I do not believe that the habit has, as a predisposing cause, a gastric affection, nor do I recognize any evidence that indigestion leads to wind-sucking. I consider it merely a bad habit-a vice leading to un soundness."-Indiana Farmer. . Profit in Guineas. One branch of the poultry business aas been very much neglected, and that is guinea raising. A flock of. guineas are about thc most profitable that can be kept if they can have the range of the farm. The common guinea is just as good as the albino or white variety, but when cooked thc flesh is not so white. In the morning when let out of the poultry house they often stop no long er than to pick up a little of tho grain given to the flock before they wander to the fields in search of weed seeds and hugs which they like better than anything that can be given them. They never become tame like hens. They will lay in the nests with thc hens dur ing the forepart of the season, but when ready to set they will steal off and hide their nests and hatch their eggs unless watched. Do not let them hatch their own eggs, as they are most careless mothers and a guinea hen that will raise two chicks out of 20 hatched will he doing pretty well. Hatch them under hens and let the hens raise them. They will develop a great affection for their foster moth er, refusing to bc weaned during thc whole season and following her faith fully whenever she is out of the poul try house. When first hatched guineas are exceedingly wild and unless con fined will wander off and perish, leav ing the nest very frequently and with in two or three hours after hatching. Guinea eggs do not sell well on the market because of thc small size, but for house use they are as good as any aud are produced in such abundance and at such little cost that any one can afford to keep a flock for thc eggs. Bc Bides being a cheerful bird, they are as good as a watch dog to tell when Strangers are around. They detect a stranger aa soon as he comes near and set up their shrill cries. They also serve to frighten off hawks as they &re eure to raise a clamor i! pc9 The Busy Bee. If your hives are poorly shelt&e<\ or full of cracks, the heat will pa?S out and the bees will have to consume Just so much more honey for fuel. If your bees have a good warm hive, a good queen and plenty of honey, very little cave will be required from you until next swarming time arrives. If any hives are gaping in the cor ners now will be a good time to renail them, and put on an additional coat of paint. Do not try to keep yo"r bees warm by closing up the entrances of the hives. Make the top as tight and warm as you please, hut allow sufficient bot tom ventilation. To protect empty combs from the moth larvae, place them where they will get a good freezing during win ter. " Nearly all empty combs will be found to contain moth eggs in au tumn. If the combs are kept in the cellar, or other moderately warm place, these eggs will hatch into lar vae, and feed upon the honeycomb. Look out for mice getting ?r to bee hives during winter. They play havoc with the combs. Remember, it is Just as important to take proper care of the honey, and put it on thc market in a first class condition, as it is to use the best and most economical means of securing it. One of the essentials of proper care is keeping the honey in a very dry and warm place; especially is this true of comb honey, or extracted honey in open cans. Honey taints very easily, and for tliis reason it is best to use as little smoke as possible when extracting. After many experiments in melting honey, I have come to the conclusion that it cannot be done without impart ing to it a waxy flavor. "When hunting wild bees, light a small fire' and burn small pieces of old comb or beeswax, drawing the bees in this way. Then take a comb of honey and let the bees settle on it, and place it inside of a box. When your first bee gets filled, keep your eye on her. After circling several times, each circle being larger, she will start on a straight line from you-sometimes she will start for home when so far away that one needs good eyes to see ber. If the colony is close by, there will soon be others following the first bee. Yvhen you can see them leave the comb and go without circling, then get a direct line marked by something you will remember. Get some of the bees into the box and carry them to some other location where your observa tion will not be broken by trees, and let your bees down on the comb, watching them as before, till you se cure a straight line from this point. Now, all you have to do, IP to follow up this line until you come to where the other line crosses.-F. G. Herman, in The Farm Journal. The Art cf Letter-Writing. When we come io personal letters, the most intimate and important of all, it may frankly be acknowledged that the Complete Letter-writer stops at thc threshold. To put ourselves our best selves-on paper, is the prob lem, and there is no greater one in the whole range of human intercourse. Yet, if we fail, if we put a foolish or mistaken self on the page, the letter had better never leave the desk. Hence comes the first law of personal letter-writing-do not try too much. Do not try to bc as spontaneous as in conversation. Do not try to be as frank as when face to face with an other. Consider the limits of paper and ink. Suggest, rather than ex plain, your feelings and ideas. Make thc letter short rather than long. It is really hard to fail on a four-page letter; but if one does, a two-page letter is the next resource. If these two pages can be carefully written, in good English; if they convey a sin cere and pleasant message; if they contain nothing that offends-then that letter ls not a failure, though it moy not bc a brilliant success. The thing to bc avoided is the rambling letter, thc indiscreet letter, the gush ing letter, the Insipid letter.-Harper's Eazar. Pinning Off Onion Smart. "I have been putting up preserves and pickles for thirty years," said a Brooklyn housewife of the old school, "and I discovered the other day that t ara not too old to learn something new. I went to New Jersey to see my son's young wife, an Iowa girl. They were married last winter. She was putting up onions-a decidedly dis agreeable task. But her eyes ere not watery. They were as clear as tho sky. She simply nodded and mut tered something between closed teeth. " 'What in thc world arc you keep ing that pin between 3'our teeth for?' I asked. "She removed it long enough to say: 'To l<eep thc unions from hurting my eyes. I'll bc through in a minute.' " 'Do you mean to say that will do it?' I asked incredulously. "She nodded. The pin was in its place again. She kept it there for ten minutes while I watched her work, and her eyes were'as dry as a walnut." -New York Press. . The New Agriculture. Agriculture has always been Ihf slowest of human industries, as well as the oldest and most fundamental, says Country Life in America; and, although it is a giant beside which manufactures is a pigmy (though a' most lively and quick-witten one), it has always been a lumbering and sleepy giant. At last it is wide awake and has swung into the march of pro gress at no uncertain gait. Most of the halt' a hundred improvements of the first magnitude during the last ten years represent millions of dollars and some of them are as significant and revolutionary as the invention of the cotton giu.

A funeral attended by unusual cir I cu m stances took place at Mount Heb ron cemetery, Winchester, Va., at 9 o'clock one night recently, when the j body of David A. Fries, whose death resulted from exposure in a storm, was laid to rest. Mr. Fries was one of the foremost men of the county. He left directions that no minister should officiate at his funeral, nor should any religious rites bc held. Hundreds of his friends waited at the house several hours and then accompanied the body to this city. At the cemetery gate they were informed that the burial would not take place until late at night. The body was placed in the mortuary chapel, and at the appointed hour the pallbearers, carrying the corpse, wend ed their M ay through the cemetery and silently interred the body by the light of a torch.
