Demand for Canned Milk of Goats.
California has a la ge ranch stocked
with Swiss and Nnbh n goats, the milk
from which is condensed and canned.
Goats’ milk is said to be very .rich, and
is in demand as nourishing food for in-
valids. A well-bred milch goat will pro-
duce 1? times its v < l"ht In ”’i!b A
cow produces yearly three times her
weight if she is a goo ! milker, but thp
goat cannot be d-beaded upon for a
steady supply of miflk at all times
through the year. Therefore it is s ikl
that canning is the host method of
making a goat dairy profitable. An 11-
ounce can of c. ndm* d gnat milk re-
tails at 20 cents in in..- West, and the

No on * knows who wrote “The;
Arubi.-in Nights,” but ii is related that
“The Thousand and One Nights" as
they are often called, originated in
this manner: Seharinr was sultan of
to him. It Is Claimed for him that h • I' r-da ami having no faith in women,
not only psed a lens but an incline*! an I having ra-rte blanriie to i try
mirror as J well, thus anticipating by ‘
hundreds Of years cameras of a reflex
order. It is not. however, to be imag-
ined that his Instrument was of the
portable kind. Rather was It a dark
chamber in which an image of the out-
door-scene | was thrown upon a whit-
ened wall,; through the medium of a
small hole ^)n the opposite side.
It is not' at all unlikely that Porta
was simply* the "reorder of a phenom-
enon knowjn to oth »rs than himself,
but not byl them reduced to writing.
There was one distinguished individual,
at all evenjts, who had observed the
same optical erect, thus anticipating
Porta by some years. It was about
the begi mltjg of the sixteenth century
that Leonardo da Vinci said, “If you
will place yourself in an hermetically
closed room facing a building, a land-
scape. or any other object directly
lighted by tHe sun, and then cut n hole
in the shutter, an Image of the object
outside will be thrown upon any sur-
I face facing tjhe hole, and it will be re-

Petulance and Earnestness.
To ! vok mad and growl Is almost ns
bad as swearing. In fact, if one ana-
lyzes the two, he will not find any dif-
ferent between them. Profaulty is
only an expression of the state of
mind. Of course, there Is some dif-
ference in the character and form of
the expression; but they all mean the
same thing. We speak of this because
the world n >tes the mental attitude
and regards it the same as profanity,
and imputes this fault to the man who
wears a growl, remarks Ohio State
Journal And so a religious man who
looks mad and growls depreciates bls
relation as a member of a church and
reflects upon the church, too. There is
unhappily a good deal of this going on
and it i> all in violation of Scriptural
teaching. We must learn the differ-
ence between eanu’stness and petu-
lance and observe the difference in

The word “character” Is true to its
derivation. It is a Greek wortl, which
we pronounce harass, which they pro-
nounce charass, but which had the
same meaning then as now. They
spoke then of a coin in the mint, which
was hannneml and tortured by the
sharp edges of the die, as being
stamped upon. !mle“d. as a poor chnr-
assed thing—as bearing a character.
Its character came to it because it
was beaten, pounded by this tremend-
ous hammer. The more it was beaten
the more distinct character it had. I
believe all our words of similar import
have 2 similar derivation. Thus, when
we say that a man Is of thia “type” of
manhood, or that “type” of manhood,
the original moaning is that he has
been b«aten into that shape by the
blows of experience that have passed
over him.
Burns says “the rank is but the
guinea stamp.” This means, at bottom,
that a “pound” is metal which has
been pounded. .And there nre metals
v hi *h Improve In quality all the time
you stamp and hammer them. Just
the same Is true of a man, if he have
the true heart, the true life and makes
himself raastit of the circumstances
instead of the slave. . . . And the
hammering Is no unimportant part of
the process.—Edward Everett Hale.

Roger Bacon’s Speculum.
The camera obscura, prototype of
the photographic camera of today. Is
said to have been known to Roger Ba-
con—wno lived In the thirteenth cen-
tury. I\\ s-i :• n d; >: iiivs L,- is even

James Thomson in riioto-Era.
Tao “speculum” of Rojer Bacon,
Halifax. N. S.. the chief British mil-
Itary and nnvhl station in America, is
one of the most strongly fortified in the
world. The c|tadei, its chief fortress,
pronounced by engineers the most
formidable in jvm<’:iea. occupies a com-
manding eminence overlooking the city
and harbor. The citadel was begun
about 179SI. u*der the supervision of
the duke of Kflnt, father of Queen Vic-
toria, and was completed in 1R14. At
the time the fortiflcntlon was begun
the duke was governor of Nova Sco-
tia and commander in chief of the
Brltl h forces jin America. The cita-
del was named! by him In honor of his
father, George bll, king of Great Brlt-
l ain.
i Ttie dnke’of |\nnt left other remind-
! ers of hi.s residence in Halifax, among
I them the qualnft obi dock tower and
clock at the fo^t of Garrison hill and
opposite to the main ent rams* of Fort
I George. The clock in the tower, which
I was brought frojn England, and is still
j keeping excellent time, was the gift
of Geerge III.
Though quaint and somewhat crude
I in appearance, arid suffering by contrast
I with the more modern structures in its
1 xicinity, the old; tow 'r and clock are

land had he ltve<1 long enough.
Blind Persons Show Skill.
Blind persons. Iwho have been born
blind, are, a* is well known, exceeding-
ly clever with their fingers, but it Is
not often one hears of a watchmaker
who was horn blind, and yet there have
been insumces of the kind. One fa-
mous \xatchinakerf.s name was Rippin,
and, although completely blind, he
could take to pieces and put together
again watches the most delicate
construction witli] the greatest ease
and in quicker time than most watch-
makers who have the advantage of
good oyolght. On one occasion some
>f the tiny wheels' and screws usih! in
hi^ tri’-'e were stolen from him, but
the thief wns captured with the prop-
erty on h!< 'Yn- snn, and Rippin identl-
• fled i ’ his delicate sense < f touch.
Another warcli end clorkmaker brought
up his blind son to his trade, and he

one occasion he det s ted faults in time-
pieces which o‘h

Many-Sided Missionary.
A missionary in In Ila gives some
idea of the multiplicity of a mission-
ary’s duties. He tells us that he is:
a minister of the Gospel, preaching
whenever possible. A medical man
with large practice. A schoolmaster
with 30 to 40 sinaif schools under his
supervision. A magistrate for the set-
tlem< nt of local disputes, the nearest
government official b« Ing 30 miles
away. A road contractor, being re-
spons’ble for the upkeep and repair of
50 miles of public roads. A tree plant-
er. (This nnd the last office are means
of providing employment for the unem-
ployed.) A builder, attending to rhe
erection of his own churches and hos-
pitals. A meteorologist, reaching and
reporting the rainfall at the request of
the government. A mor.oy-lender and
the supervisor of a locnl agricultural
bank. A literary man. translator and
reviser. A colporteur. A seller of
soap and tea. to raise money for mis-
sionary purposes.
The Aleu boys and g’rls are very
like boys a 1 girls in the States,
when you get under the furs and dirt
and brown skins. They like fun as
well as our children. One of them
writes: “I was at Atka all Ust win-
ter. I trapped two blue fox, which I
am sending down to have sold for me.
I also learned how t » use a gun. Yes-
terday we went out with one of the
teachers and I killed an eagle.
marshal gave me 70 rents for killing It
because, he said, I was a girl.”
Picking niolinas (large raspberries)
is a favorite occupntlon. Thp bushes
grow on the side of the mountain, and
to pick the berries or.*1 must either sit
down and dig his heels into »he bftnk
or He down and hung on with one hand.
In spite of care the picker often takes
an Involuntary coast down the hill.
Bogholes, pitfalls and mountain creeks
add to the difficulties of the quest.
Clam digging Is another change from
home life that Is welcomed by the
children. They do this when, as one
of the small boys said, “the tide Is get-
ting downer and downer.” Salmon

“I - C - o’ Life.
“To live is always to be hurt in
some way,” said a young voice re-
cently. It was the half-resentful, half-
wondering voice ot one stiU new to
the experiences of existence, and ques-
tioning their justice.
The statement is true, nnd the more
fully alive one is, the more keenly
lire the hurts felt. Every joy brings
with It its possible price of suffering.
Every love opens n d«*>r to sorrow,
every gift brings its weight of responsi-
bility; wider knowledge brings the
larger drain upon sympathy. The high-
er one rises in the scale of being, the
greater incomes not only the capacity
for joy. but nIso the twin capacity Mr
suffering, but who would choose to be
a clod to avoid feeling, a block of
marble to escape the pain of a living

Saul of Tarsus.
Saul of Tarsus, known as Pnul
after his conversion, referring to him-
self (II Cor. 10:11), says “his bodily
presence is weak and his speech con-
temptible.” Ernest Renan, the Erench
appear to have been present in the pa- writ,,,.. aft,.r eonsultinR Jewish and
. _ _ Roman writings says of him: Pfttf
was small in size, and his i>ersonal ap-
pearance did not correspond with the
greatness of his soul. He was ugly,
short, stout find stooping, and his
broad shoulders awkwardly sustained
a little bald heed. His si.llow counte-
nance was half hidden in a thUk
beard; his nose was aquiline, his eyes
piercing, and his eyebrows’*heavy and
joined across his forehead. . . . His
constitution was not healthy, though
at the* simie time its endurance was
proved by the way In which he sup-
ported an exlstence^ili of fatigues and
sufferings.”
as
many wives as he chose, he had each
bride killed the duy after lie married
her. The vizier who did the executive
work on this program whs filled with
horror at the atrocities he was obliged
to perfonii, the more so as he had a
beautiful daughter of his own and
was in cons!nut terror lest she find
favor in the eyes of the sultan. One
day his fears were realized and the
beautiful Scheherazade was a chosen
victim. She did not share her father’s
apprehension, however, having a
s' heme of her own for thwarting the
sultan’s designs. The morning after
her marriage she began telling her
husband a story, and Just as he w’as
idiout to have her for his affairs of
state, she brought the tale to that
fasclr.<.,’’ig point where we generally
find that it is “to be continu»‘d.” The
sultan decided to have her saved till
night that he might hear the end of
the story. This proceeding was re-
peated for a thousand and one nights.
By that time, Scheherazade had borne
him children and the sultan had de-
rided to abandon the cruel j noflice
of killing his wives. “The Thousand
nnd One Nights,” translated into
French in 1704 by Antoine Gilliard, |
v is compiled from these fascinating
stories.
