A Hiding Place For Money.
According to an insurance agent
whose round is in a squalid locality of
a large city, money is frequently kept
in Bibles by poor people. ’ A laundress
blessed with an intemperate husband
showed the collector her little treas-
ury, which she kept between the
leather of the back of n colossaL vol-
ume. Access was gained to this sav-
ings bank by means of a silt cut near
the edg of the cover, the coins rest-
ing safely between the board and its
outer covering. •She declared that this
secret place had contained the_hidden
wealth of mother, grandmother and
great-grandmother and that her eldest
daughter was to possess the Bible and
share the mystery as soon as she mar-

- New Cow Feeding Tests.
An experiment in. feedingcows
which it is believed will be watched
with keen interest by the dairymen of
the stat, has just been started with
the college- herd at the Connecticut
Agricultural college. The test will run
for an Indefinite period and will con-
sist of feeding two separate rations to
two different groups of cows. One
group will be fed a very narrow and
the other a very wide ration, and the
outcome of this experiment will deter-
mine whether high or low feeding has
any effect on the vigor, fortuity or pro-
duction of the dairy cow. It is hoped
to have these experiments carried on
for at least twenty years.—American

A Frank Philosopher.
Charles Eliot Norton in his Han-9 rd
lectures on the history of art used
often to describe a meeting between
Thomas Carlyle and the philosopher
Ma Hock.
"Mallock was a wise man,” he would
say, “but his views differed from Car-
lyle's, ‘find hence, though they were
true views, Cnrlyle deemed them false
and pernicious: We should all culti-
vate n brood outlook, so as to escape
from the narrow intoleranee of a Car-
lyle. When Mullock culled on Carlyle
he talked in his fluent way for two
straight hours. Then he roae to go.
At the door Carlyle, who had smoked
the whole time in grim' silence, took
his pipe from his mouth and said
mildly:
"‘Weel, coodby, Mr. Mallock. I’ve
received ykindly because I knew yer
mither, but Fnever want to set eyes
on yo again.' ”
Rauner—Who is that aronchy, loud
mouthed fellow abusing that woman?
