Heads Getting Scarce.
Mummified heads of South Ameri-
can Indians belonging to a tribe living
on the slopes of the Andes, near
Quito, in Ecuador, once so easily pur-
chased, are becoming extremely
scarce. The head is shrunk by some
secret process known only to the na-
tives, being thus reduced from life-
size—nine or ten inches from tip of
chin to top of head—to five inches.
The curious thing is that the head can
be reduced in this fashion without
destroying the features. These heads
—some of which are of great antiqui-
ty—are now almost impossible to pro-
cure. Their sale is forbidden by law,
as the large prices they fetched
tempted unscrupulous Indians to pro-
duce ‘‘green” ones.— Wide World Mag-

The Curfew In Londen.
Although we do not ring the curfew
bell to clear the streets of children,
its warning sound can still be heard
in one place in London, This is at
Lincoln’s Inn, where its ringing is a
. relic of medieval times, when barris-
ters and students lived in the Inn and
were subject to the despotic rule of
the benchers in such matters long
after there was a legal necessity for
“lights out” at 9. Now Lincoln's Inn
is .deserted in the evening save by
watchmen and the police—and per-
haps the ghosts of all the parties in
Jarndyce and Jarndyce, who may re-
visit the scene of their litigation—the
old hall which remains as Dickens de-
scribed it in the wonderful opening
chapter of “Bleak House.”’—London
Chronicle. :
The Bad Baboon.
Baboons and boars are the most
formidable of all foes to the dogs that
hunt them—just as leopards are of all
wild animals those most apt to prey
on dogs. A baboon’s teeth and hands
are far more formidable weapons than
those of any dog, and only a very few
wholly exceptional dogs of huge size
and great courage and intelligence,
can single handed ' contend with an
old male.
But we saw a settler whose three
big terriers could themselves kill a
full-grown warthog boar; an almost
unheard of feat. They backed one
another up with equal courage and
adroitness, their ‘aim being for two
to seize the hind legs; then the third,
watching his chance, would get one
foreleg, when the boar was speedily
thrown, and when weakened, killed
by bites in his stomach.—Theodore
Roosevelt in Scribner’s.

The Cows and Alfalfa.
It is the experience of dairymen
that alfalfa is far superior to timothy
sume, and that a mixture consisting
of 400 pounds of ground corn; 300
pounds of bran or oats supplements
the alfalfa very well. Seven or eight
pounds of this combination is suffi-
cient to produce one pound of fat
when fed with all the' good alfalfa
hay an animal will consume. If the
droppings of the animal seem some-
what dry do not hesitate to recom-
mend the use of one pound of oilmeal
per cay.—Indiana Farmer.
A Useful Pen.
Little chicks come as many cock-
erels as pullets. Few roosters are fit
to save, and all the rest are good only
to eat, so take them from hens, put
them in pens, dnd turn them into
dough by turning dough into them.
An old packing box makes a fine pen.
Get one without a lid about three or
four feet square for six or eight roos-
ters. Knock off one side, and here
an inch and a half apart nail laths
from one end of the box to the oth-
er. This is the fioor of the coop.
Droppings fall through to the ground
after four legs are nailed to the box,
one at each corner. Now nail laths
three inches apart across the front,
only leaving enough space for a small
door, so as to reach the hand and
arm in and pull them out. A good
trough or pan should be fastened
outside the coop near enough for the
roosters to poke their heads through
and eat. If the pan is put ‘inside
roosters step on it and turn it over,
or get their feet into it and make a,
mess, and then they don’t like to eat
the befouled food. Put in a perch.—

Hints For Milkers.
Remember that you are dealing
with a living machine, and that there-
fore kind and quiet treatment will
produce more milk with less trouble
than harsh methods.
The machine can only work at its
best when properly handled. Every
drop of milk should be drawn, for
only by this means will the udder be
induced to work at full pressure, and
give a supply of the richest milk. - It
should also be borne in mind that the
last milk is the richest.
Observe cleanliness in all things.
Make sure that the milking utensils
are above reproach. Cleanse the
cow’s udder and your own hands be-
fore commencing to milk.
Draw the milk by pressure, not by
the stripping method. Carry out the
operation, as quickly as possible, re-
membering that generally a good
milker is a fast one and that the cow
is liable to become impatient after a
time. ’
. Pay attention to the cow’s health.
If her teats are sore, if there is any
discoloration or unusual feature
about the milk, do not mix it with the
rest. atid j
Take care that the buildings in
which milking is carried on are well
aired and free from avoidable dust.
Fresh air and sunlight should be con-
stantly admitted, and litter or food
should not be handled during the
milking hour.
Be punctual. The cow knows as
well as you when the hour has arrived
for milking, and delay will not only
cause a diminution of her yield, but
also a decrease of fat percentage.
Milk at as nearly even intervals of
time as possible. A good deal of at-
tention has been given to this ques-
tion, and it has been found that milk
poor in fat is very largely the result
of allowing too long an interval to
elapse bétween milkinzs. But what-
ever hours are chosen see that they
are very strictly adhered to.
Observance of these rules should
lead to the largest amount of milk,
with the greatest proportion of but-
ter fat, at a minimum of trouble to
the milker.—W. R. Gilbert, in Farm
Journal.
The Farm Milk House.
In a recent article in Hoard’s Dairy-
man Professor Farrington, the well-
known writer ondairy topics, gives the
following good suggestions on farm
milk houses. He says that the laws
of the State of Wisconsin at the pres-
ent time do not permit the keeping
of a hand separator in the cow stable.
It mast be placed in a separate build-
inz or in a room partitioned off from
the cow stable. (
Plans for building small milk
houses have been given in dairy pa-
pers and the catalogues of dairy sup-
ply rms. , \
At farms where a hand separator
is used and the cream sold, a small
milk house will answer every pur-
pose. One large enough® to give
space for the separator and a water
tank, through which the water is
pumped directly from the well and
then to the stock tank, is all that is
needed. ;
The question has arisen as to the
SE
advisability of placing a gasolene en-!
gine, when this is used as a farm
power, in this milk house. There is
little danger of contaminating the
cream from the odor of the engine,
if this is well taken care of and the
exhaust from the engine is tightly
connected to a pipe which leads out-
side the building.
The cooling of the cream as it
comes from the separator is absolute-
ly necessary. It should be brought
to near fifty degrees as soon as possi-
le after separating, then placed in
cans and these allowed to stand in
a tank of cold water until the cream
is collected by cream haulers.
If the milk house contains in addi-
tion to these pieces of apparatus,
some sort of a boiler, for furnishing
hot water and a wash sink, these can
be included in the same building, but
it is advisable to place the boiler in a
separate room.
It is important that the milk house
be built with a cement floor and
cemented corners from the floor up
the walls for at least one foot. This
gives a sanitary surface which can
be flushed with water and kept clean,
provided the floor pitches well to the
gutter and a good drain with a trap
in carries off all surplus water
spilled on the floor.
After the essential points of a good
milk house are well understood, each
farmer or dairyman can determine
for himself how large a building he
wants and locate it in a dry, clean
place where it will not be contamin-
ated by the drainage or the odors
from the cow stable, pig pens or any
refuse material. :
Ruby Glass.
All along our beaches one finds
bits of plain glass that have taken
on a delicate ruby color from expos-
ure to the sun’s rays; some pieces
very faintly ruby; others, usually
small glass bottles, almost turned the
color of the most delicate amethyst
jewel. The new artificial pure rubies
and sapphires may be similarly col-
ored by radium, or by electrical de-
composition of dichromate of potash.
It is possible that Philadelphia’s old
window glass, that becomes rubescent.
from years of sunshine, had traces of
dichromate of potash in its composi-
tion, and that the desired ruddy ra-
dio-active color would be most quick-
ly gotten by the action of the sun and
sea water. Ruby-tinted glass is old
and manufacturers mold or grind it
into lenses by the barrel. No doubt
Philadelphia ophthalmologists cannot
be taken in, and can tell the genuine
Boston and Philadelphia ruby win-
dow glass from the red-tinted ones
sold in the Bowery, if not by the big
opticians in Philadelphia.—New York
Press. - J
Singularities.
According to a Turkish newspaper
of 1876, William E. Gladstone was
born ‘in 1796. For father he had
Bulgarian. His gluttony for gold
made him yellow. He was of me-
dium height, his whiskers were
cropped close to his face, and ‘‘as a
sign of his Satanic spirit his fore-
head and upper forehead were bare.
His evil temper has made his hair
fall off, so that from a distance he
might be taken for quite bald.”
In a turbine steamer the rhythmic
thumping of the pistons disappears
and instead the engines give out a
thin soprano song that rises or falls
in key with the speed, sometimes sug-
gesting a continuous squeal from the
struggling giants of steam striving to
escape from their close confinement |
inside the big iron jackets.'

An Cld Racing Town.
Lincoln, where the ‘‘saddling bell”
which is not a saddling bell “rings”
to-day on ‘‘the Carholme,” which is
rot Lincoln, for what is not ‘‘the

had a long connection with the turf.
King James I held ‘“‘a great horse
race on Lincoln Heath” in 1617, and
probably paid the jockeys with long
speeches delivered half in Latin and
half in Caledonian. Pessimists who
assert that our present day ‘‘sprints’”
tend to equine decadence will be sur-
prised to learn that the course on
that occasion was only ‘“‘a quarter of
a mile long.”’—London Chronicle.
Mores Versus Manners.
The late nonagerian Duke of Rut-
land, whose family name was Man-
ners, met the poet Tom Moore shortly
after the publication of the latter’s
“Lalla Rookh” and his own elevation
to the dukedom. Deeming that the
poet had been unduly puffed up by
the success of his work, the Duke
told him that he verified the old
‘proverb:
“Honores mutant mores.”
“No, my lord,” Moore instantly re-
torted, ‘the pun will do much better
in English:

Edmund Halley was a very great
man. He was not only the first to
predict correctly the: return of a
comet, that which is now known by
his name, but also—before Newton
had announced his results to anyone—
arrived at the conclusion that the at-
| traction of gravitation probably va-
ried inversely as the square of the
distance. While these and other im-
portant achievements of his are well
known, it seems to have been forgot-
ten that Halley devised a method of

Her Scalp Itched Intolerably,
“Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching,
but it grew steadily worse until, when
I combed my hair the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch
and smart when firstbeginning to heal.
Combing my hair was positive tor-
ture. My hair was long and tangled
terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. I was
in despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald. :
“Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, I would
scratch the worst places so that my
finger-tips would be bloody. I could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful stinging pain
would commence and then I would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said it mustbe salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, I now decided to
order a set of the Cuticura Remedies
—Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
I used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
cated, but toward spring eighteen
months ago, there was a slight return
of the scalp humor. I commenced
the Cuticura treatment at once, so
had very little trouble. On my scalp
I used about one-half a cake of Cuti-
cura. Soap and half a box of Cuticura
Ointment in all. The first time I took
six or seven bottles of Cuticura Pills
and the last timethreebottles—neith-
er an expensive or tedious treatment.
Since then I have had no scalp trouble
of any kind. Standing up, with my
hair unbound, it comes to my knees,
and had it not been for Cuticura I
should doubtless be wholly bald.

Lee and Virginia.
The state placed Lee beside Wash-
ington because the state today be-
lieves that Lee was the greatest Vir-
ginian after Washington. Some of
our people go even further and think
that Lee excelled Washington in gen-
eralship and in those noble personal
traits which make a man truly great.
Virginia believes that Lee should
stand above Jefferson, Madison, Mon-
roe, Marshall and a host of other men
far better than most of those who
grace or disgrace the hall of fame,
and Virginia believes this not so much
for what Lee did, in comparison with
the other illustrious sons of this state,
but for what he was. Lee, the man,
is greater than Jefferson, the man,
and Lee the man is greater as a man
than Jefferson the statesman was
a statesman. — Richmond
