They were cast of melted votive offerings In the church of the Santa Trinidad, the Holy Trinity, and other contributions In gold for the defense of Cludad Trinidad up In the mountains of Peru. This early Spanish mission was presided over by one Father Pietro, of theBrotherhood of Jesus, who like most of his cult was a man of distinguished learning and abilities. Informed that pirates were coming to attack the place he summoned his people to fetch In their gold, and from that he cast these guns."

Both were skilled chemists, the count at the head of a recently established fixed nitro gen laboratory. "What's the assay, papa?" Robert asked. "Only about 99 per cent pure, mon petit," the count answered dryly. "It Is as I predict'. The hardening process was entirely one of temperatures, and not of alloy. There Is no copper, no sulphur, nothing but gold, I should say." "Will this tempering affect ita value?" Tom asked. "Why yea It ought to Increase It very considerably. About the only fault to be found with gold Is Its soft ness." "And Its weight," said Tom, with-omuch thought "1 say, Tom, did you ever hear any Johnny grousing about the burden of his gold?" "I'll bet your honored ancestor did when It went down under him," Tom retorted. "Right, old bean. But we sha'n't have to complain over excess weight when our respective ministers of finance get through with us," Robert stated. This dark prophesy already had fur nlshed Tom a bitter cud to ruminate.

"The mission was destroyed, put to lire and sword, and these pirates must have discovered the secret of the guns. Thereafter they passed from hand to hand, eventually to be captured by my ancestor, who took them from a buccaneer ship, Pnrlslma which he destroyed. They were then covered, as now, by this coating of gum, and the character of their metal was unsuspected. My ancestor was set to thinking In the manner that Mr. Jordan has Just men tioned.

Yankee Practicality he said, "They'll react to hacksaw, I reckon," and looked at Jessica. But Doctor White was not thinking of that consideration.

One of nature's most versatile crops, when put to use by man, la the soy bean. Brought to this country over 130 years ago, in the last ten years it has been put to many other uses besides that of producing a good quality of hay. Eighteen comDanie In tha States now use about lO.OOG.OOO bushels of soy beans; In 1928 only one mill manufactured soy bean oil and oil meal A good beginning has been made in the last five or six years toward what may become a major American TnA Industry. In the Orient the native home of the soy bean, the soy bean belt Is larger than the American corn belt More than a fourth of all the land In Manchuria Is devoted to the crop. Americans have been slow to adopt the soy bean as a food. But this la not surprising, for a hundred years were required to place the potato npon the tables of the upper classes of Eu- ropean a Two big markets for soy bean products are in manufacturing and In ant mal feeding. The oil is used In soap, paint varnish, linoleum, glycerine, lecithin, and in several other products. Demand for soy bean cake, or meal, have not been met thus far; most of It enters trade in mixed feeds for dairy cattle. In the Orient it Is used largely for human food. The yield of protein from soy beans, pound for pound. Is twice that of meat, four times that of eggs, wheat and other cereals, and twice that of navy beans. The Chinese make a dozen foods from it, Including "milk." Dairy Cows Entitled to Best of Treatment The ration of all rations for the dairy cow is kindness. Roots, silage, alfalfa and mill feeds are all excellent but any or all of them can be dispensed with for a while and a cow not suffer. But there is no substitute for kindness. An old teacher in the East advertised to teach all there was worth knowing about grammar In twelve evenings. The thirteenth and last rule of this wonderful man's grammar was, "Circumstances alter cases." But this rule Is utterly false as regards to cows. There are no circumstances In dealing with dairy cows where kind treatment can be dispensed with. Kindness should be written In flaming capitals on the door of every cow stable. Hoard's Dairyman.
