Combs From Cattle Horns.
Cattle horns which have dotted the
range for the last forty years have
disappeared and their going marks a
new industry, that of making tortoise
shell combs, hairpins and ornaments
from the horns.
It was a Yankee who came along
one day and seeing the heads and
horns bleaching on the plains thought
of utilizing them for tortoise she!1
ornaments. He gathered a carload
and shipped them East. They were
put through a factory, treated with a
secret process and as a result the
man laid the foundation for a com
fortable fortune. Denver Republican

Handkerchief Came From Italy.
i writer In a French review points
out that t .e handkerchief does not
cort:e to us from China, as has been
tnerally received, but from Italy.
It Is only 360 years ago that the hand
kerchief of a Venetian lady was con
sidered a great curiosity. The hand
kerchief crossed the Alps and was re
ceived with great favor at the court
of France.
Handkerchiefs were then made of
cambric or iawn and bordered .with
Venetian or Alenron lace. Under
Henry III. of France the sachet was
introduced. The handerchief was
takenUnto Germany a little later and
was known as the "fazelletln," after
Its Italian name. Only persons of
quality used It and an edict in 1595
was published at Dresden interdict
ing the use of the handkerchief
among the trading classes. London

Apples Without Cores.
Almost everybody has heard the
story of the boy who asked his com
panion for the core of his apple, to
which request the companion made
the historic remark: "There ain't
goln' to be no core." Now Justice of
the Peace David Barb of Clifford,
Bartholemew county, has an apple
tree and that tree bears apples.
Should any person ask for the core of
an apple from the tree he would be
doomed to disappointment, because
the apples do not have cores.
Justice Barb has brought some ct
the an;)lf n ilty and exhlrtAd
them. He says the tree that bnrs
the apples never blooms in the sprint;,
hut through some "rii process U
bears apples the same as other trees.
These apples are without a core and
they are also seedless. Indianapolis

A Moot Hunter's Mistake.
A Hartland hunter starting out
after a deer one day recently put a
blanket on his horse before he put
on the harness so that the animal
would be warm. Arriving at a likely
place he tied the horse beside a
wood road and went into the woods.
He had not travelled far when he
struck an old road.
Following this for about a mile
he saw in the distance what he took
to be a moose standing In the road.
Taking careful aim he fired and was
much pleased to see the animal fall.
He rushed up and found he had killed
his own horse. The walk nonu was
a long one. Kennebec Journal.
