TOWER OF ENEMIES’ HEADS
Menument of Modern Barbarism
Erected by the Turks in 1809
at Nish, Servia,
A strange monument of modern
barbarism still survives at Nish In
southeast Servia, During the war of
independence in 1809 the Servian gar-
rison here exploded a powder maga-
sine and perished therein rather than
fall into the hands of the Turks.
A battle had previously taken place
and the Turks commemorated their
victory by erecting a rude tower, or
namented with the heads of their ene-
mies, Old people will tell you that
there were once 1,200 heads, but as
the tower was never more than 25 feet
high, this 18 probably an exaggeration.
Lamartiue and other travelers re-
late that they saw hair still clinging
to the skulls, which must have formed
8 grewsome spectacle. During many
years visitors were in the habit of
carrying off skulls as souvenirs, but
when Nish became Servian the re-
mainder were taken away for decent
burial, all save a few that were too
deeply imbedded. Recently the re-
mains of the tower have been covered
over with a roof to protect them
against the elements and they are re
garded as a pious object of patriotic
pligrimage.— Wide World Magazine,

ORIGIN OF INDIAN RUNNERS
Came From West Indies and Are
Thought by Many People to Be
Most Profitable of Duck Family,
PNA
(By ANNA GALLIGHER, Ohle.)
It 1s only comparatively a few years
since the Indian Runner ducks made
their appearance in America. They
came originally from the West In-
dies, where they have been raised for
years, chiefly as egg-producers. They
derive their name from their native
land and racy, upright carriage.
In color they are fawn and white,
with yellow shanks and light-green
bill; the latter being sometimes
splashed with black,
The body is long and narrow and

tion. Neck is long and thin, with fine

fully matured ducks weighing from
| four to five pounds. Drakes from five
| to six pounds, live weight.
But they grow very rapidly while
young and are easy to raise. What
they lack in weight is more than made
up for in their other good qualities.
To begin with, they are very prolific
layers; beginning when about six
months old. Their eggs are pure
white and a little larger than those
of a Plymouth Rock hen.
They are superior in quality to any
begin to travel toward a common cen- i
ter, and there lie huddled
clutch of eggs in a nest.
A single stone removed to a dis-
tance of three and a half feet, upon
being released, at once started with
wonderful and somewhat comical cel-
erity to join its fellows.
These queer stones are found in a
region that is comparatively level and
little more than bare rock. Scattered |
over this barren region are little ba-
sins, from a few feet to a rod or two
in dlameter, and it is in the bottom of
these that the rolling stones are found.
The cause for the strange conduct
of these stones is doubtless to bd
found in the material of which they
are composed, which appears to be
lodestone or magnetic iron ore.—Ham~
per's Weekly.
INSTRUCTIONS OF A PIPER
Ingenious Method of Teaching His Pu |
pll Adopted by the Highland
Musician,
A Highland piper who had a pupil |
to teach originated a method by
which he succeeded in reducing the
difficulties of the task to a minimum, |
and at the same time fixed his lesson |
in the pupil’s mind.
“Here, Donald,” said he, “tak yer
pipes, lad, an’ gie usa blast.
“So! Verra weel blawn, indeed, but
what's a sound, Donald, wi'out making
You may blaw forever wi’out making
a tune o’t, if I dinna tell ye how the
queer things on the paper maun help
ye.
“Ye see that big fellow wi’ a round
open face"—pointing to a semi-brey—
“between two lines of a bar? He moves
slowly from that line to this, while ye
beat ane wi’ yer fist an’ gie a long
blast.
“If ye put a leg to him, ye mak twa
0’ him, an’ he'll move twice as fast.
“If, now, ye black his face, he'll run
four times faster than the fellow wi’
the white face; and if, after blacking
his face, ye’ll bend his knee or tie his
leg, he'll hop eight times faster than
the white faced chap I showed ve first.
“Now,” concluded the piper, senten-
tiously, “whene’er ye blaw your pipes,
Donald, remember this: that the tight-
er those fellows’ legs are tied, the fast.
er they'll run, and the quicker they're
sure to dance.”
Nova Scotia Eelgrass.
United States Consul Albert J.
Fleming of Yarmouth, N. S., reports
that the exportations of eelgrass to |
the port of Boston in the latter part
of 1911 were the largest in the history
of that traffic, the amount in two
months being 237 tons, the gross price
of which was $10 a ton. This practi-
cally cleaned up the crop in the stor-
age barns, but since then large quan-
tities were gathered, and, after drying,
the grass was stored to supply the de-
mand during the next season.
Eelgrass is practically unlimited in
supply in that region, and it is hoped
that larger shipments will ‘be made
in the near future. The principal use |
is for mats and cheap mattresses, but
the Yarmouth firms who are engaged |
in buying from small producers and
marketing the commodity, believe that
the eelgrass can be used in the manu |

five pounds at two months.
The meat of the Runner is of su-
perior quality; fine in the grain, juicy,
and excellent flavor. Hotels and res-
| taurants pay fancy prices for duck-
lings.
The eggs are in good demand, also.
| In winter when eggs are high the In-
| dian Runner is “on the job.” Any
enterprising person can work up a
trade among hotels and restaurants
that should prove highly profitable.
There is no great danger of strong
competition, as comparatively few
poultry raisers have taken up this
branch of the industry, notwithstand-
ing the fact that nearly all kinds of
poultry products are bringing un
heard-of prices in the open market.
In summer the Indian Runner when
given free range will find the greater
part of his living in the fields. But of
course when being fattened for mar-
ket, they need some grain. It would
be well to say right here that for best
results the grain should be either
ground or cooked.
Ray-Killed Bacteria.
A method for sterilizing milk with-
out heating or adding preservatives is
claimed to have been effectively dem-
onstrated recently in Hollard. An ap-
paratus has been constructed, it is
explained, whereby the milk flows in
a thin stream along an electric light,
the ultra-violet beams working on the
bacteria. The result is attributed to
the quality of the ozone formed under
the influence of the light.—The Argo-
naut.
Scotch Alarm Clock. |
A tourist in rural Scotland took ref- |
uge for the night in the cottage of an
old lady. He asked her to wake him
| up early in the morning, warning her
| that he was quite deaf.
Upon awak-
ening much later than the appointed
hour he found that the old lady, with
strict regard for the proprieties, had
| slipped under the door a slip of paper
| upon which
was written:
half past eight.”

Many “Holy Lands.” {
Christians use the term Holy
iand to designate Palestine, as being |
the scene of the birth, ministry and
death of Christ, but, interestingly
enough, other religious sects employ
the fame term for places sacred to
them from association. Thus the Mo-
hammedans speak of Mecca as the
Holy Land, it being the birthplace of
Mohammed. The Chinese Buddhists
call India the Holy Land, because the
founder of their religion was born
there, while the Greeks bestow this
same title on Elis, where was situated
the temple of Olympian Zeus.

Dickens’ Care for His Guests.
| If Dickens was particular regarding |
the equipment of his own bedroom he
| was equally careful for the comfort
{of his guests. Charles Dolby, in
| “Charles Dickens as I Knew Him,”
says of the bedrooms at Gad’s Hill: |
“Each of these rooms contained the
most comfortable of beds, a sofa, an
easy chair, cane-bottomed chairs—in
which Mr. Dickens himself had a great
belief, always preferring to use one |
, himself—a large-sized writing table, |
profusely supplied with paper and en- |
velopes of every conceivable size and |
an almost daily |
description, and
change of new quill pens. There was
a miniature library of books in each
room, a comfortable fire in winter, |
with a shining copper kettle in each
fireplace; and, on a side table, cups,
saucers, tea caddy, teapot, sugar and
milk.”
A peculiarity of the household, adds
Mr. Dolby, was the fact that, except
at table, no servant was ever seen
about.
PROVIDING GRIT IN WINTER
Hens Should Be Allowed to Take as
Much as They Require—Don’t
Feed It In Their Mash.
(By W. F. PARRISH.)
When winter comes and the ground
freezes, or is covered with snow a good
deal of the time, grit must be sup-
plied. Gravel or grit should be sharp,
80 as to both cut and grind. Smooth
| pieces of gravel will not answer the
purpose. Gravel dug from a pit will
make one of the best grits.
When pounded into small pieces,
broken crockery will make excellent
grit, also. A little sand mixed with
the other grit is helpful, but it will not
answer for exclusive use, not being
sharp nor coarse enough,
