A blai;lc fellow will on no account go near the spot where- another black has been buried. He has a dt'op footod' aversion to one particulur bird the wagtail because, he eas," "him all day talk, talk aloug a wblte feller, tellum all about black f iler," add no opportunity Is lost of killing these little birds . . .. Many tribes "bury" their dead by sticking them up Into the forks of trees and there leaving them till tbe flesh has either dropped or been tak en, leaving the boucs clean. J be be hnnpa are then takun down, the larc- er ones burled and tho smallest hand- 1 ea rouna as aeepsaues co nose sen-r. Y related to the deceestd. Should one black fellow wish the death of I a rival or enemy he points tbe bone at him. This niea.n that he takes one of his lale relation s bones from bis dilly bag and points It, In the presence of witnesses, at tbe man he wishes to got rid of, all tbe time pouring forth threats and curses. Strange as It n ay seem, tbe one pointed at will often languish and eventually die, perhaps la a month, perhaps lu a year, for no sooner Is the bone pointed than be makes up his mind to die, and there la no sav ing him. How Unir Grows, A single hair, which can support a weight of two ounces, is so elactlc that it may be stretched to oue-lfalrd of IU entire length and then regain tta former size and condition. Dr. Plncus has measured the growth of balr by cutting off circles about one Inch in diameter from the heads of healthy uie.i, and so comparing the growth of tun patches wjlh that of the rest cf the hair. He found that the growth rate generally became slower after cuttiug; that Jn same cases the hair on the patches grew at the same rate as the rest, but that It never grew any faster. The ordinary leugth of' the hair on tbe head ranges between twenty- two Inches and "about forty-five Inches., the .latter being considered unusually long. It has been calcu lated that the ha'.r of the beard grows at the rate of one line and a half a week; this will give a length of six and a half incnes in the course of a year. For a man eighty years of age, who has beeu a clean shaver from early maturity, no lesa than twenty-fceteu feci of beard must have iaileu befote the ede of the laur. t Tho ; 1 New - i York ' is. m Tribune 8 Farmer is the moet th Diighly practical, helpful, useful and entertaining, national illustrat ed agricultural & family weekly in the United States.

It la aoatlble to rele gate a good many asserted occur ranees te the domain of aunerstltlon, but It la aot possible thus to eMail. ate all. Nor la It likely that In the reeest stage of natural knowledge we are acquainted with all the work tags ef the anman spirit and have re duced them to such commonplace that everything capable of happening In the meatal and physical region At of a nature readily and familiarly te be understood by all. Tet there re many who seem practically to be lieve la this Improbability, and although- they are constrained from time to time to accept novel and sur prising discovert. In biology. In chemistry and la physical science generally, tbey seem tacitly to ae eume that these are the only parts of the aalrerse In which discovery Is possible, all the rest being already too well known. It la a simple faith, and doe credit to their capacity for belief belief aot only unfounded npon knowledge, but belief tenable only In the teeth of great masa of evidence to the con trary. It la always a pity to unsettle mind thus fortified against the in trjsloa of unwelcome tacts, tor their ttroag faith la probably a salutary safeguard against that unbalanced and comparatively dangerous condi tion called "open-mlniedness," which Is reedy to learn and Investigate any thing aot manifestly aelf-contradic-tory and absurd. Without people of the solid, assured, eelf-satlsAed or der, the practical work of the world would not eBclsntly be dona. But few suck people will take tbe trouble to read thla artlrle, act I may therefore safely Ignore them: lor It Is Intended to indicate the pos sibility that discoveries of tbe very first marnlts.de can still be made are Indeed In process of being made by strictly scientific methods In the region of psychology; discover ies quite comparable In Importance with those which have beeu mads during tbe last century In physics and biology, but discoveries whose op. aortuaitle for practical application and aeefulness will similarly have to remain for some time In the bands of expert aiaoe tbey cannot be mis cellaneously absorbed or even appre hended by the multitude without anger. : ! . r ' vooo & son FUNERAL DIRECTORS MILFORD PA UNDERTAKING in all branches Special attention liivno to EMBALMING No extra clinrgo for attending funerals out of town Telepbnue in HcKidcnce.
