A little freedom in the evening,
after a hard day work, is greatly en-
iOyed by horses. and it certainly does
them good. Their entire system is
bent in but the one direction during the
day while at work, and :. change from
that in the way of a good romp and
roll. when freed from the harness, can
not but be beneficial.
In the Michtgan Farmer farmer
tells how he manages to conquer Cam

He puts a small handful of salt on
each thistle at the root. The sheep eat
the thistle close to the ground. The
sailing is repeated as often rs may be
necessary, and the thistle seldom ap-
pears the second year.

contends that '.by planting corn at the

receive the necessary number of degrees

much importance. we advance the

by so doing hasten maturity by several
weeks. This is new and surprising

Laboring Under a Halluciation.

A large and imposing Senator from,
. Western State was walking up and
down the Senate Chamber behind the
chairs. His hands met at tie small OF
his back, and one of them held the
other. His step was stately and his
head leaned forward 8 tribe. On his
face was the far. away, distracted ex-
preston which is usually interpreted
to mean that the owner of it is in deep
thought. On sofa in the corner of
the Senate Chamber sat Senator from
another Western State talking to a
friend. Pointing to the Senator who
was pacing back and forth in full view
OF the galleries, the sitting Senator
said to his friend: There's man who
is laboring under a very strange hal

The Talking Sex.

Perhaps it is the way their tongues
are built. If it is physical popularity,
the rest of the world ought to be willing
to accept matters and the sex without
complaint. We have referred to women
as the laughing sex, and have specu-
lated about the causes for the eternal
grin and giggle which are character
istics of even the best of them. But
along with the necessity of laughing
that seems born into the feminine sex,
there is another equal necessity of talk
ing. A woman can't even buy half
dozen stamps without making three
times as many words over it as q man
would. If she can't get the seats she
wants at the box Office of a theater, she
invariably thinks it necessary to ex-
plain at full length why she doesn't
want those in the orchestra circle and
why she did want the others. If in the
transaction of any business she comes
to a conclusion she never thinks it suf-
ficient to announce the conclusion I'M
supported. She always goes back to
the beginning of the process of thought
and emotion by which she arrived at
the end and insists in telling it to the
very last step.
1t is of no use trying to stop her or
turn her off the track or make her for
get about it. She thinks she has been
thinking and she means to tell all about
it. She is feebly conscious that her in
tellectual machinery has been at work,
and she can no more keep from making
the fact known than a hen can conceal
the fact that she has laid an egg.
1t must be that women's tongues ara
self-cocking and are intended by nature
to 60 off whenever the brain moves.
That is the only explanation for the SUI
perfiuity of talking which women always
seem impelled to do. 1t is a physical
necessity, along with their laughing
and the peculiar wob5le with which
they always try to run. and the unex-
planned use of their arms and hands
when they carry an umbrella. They
can't help it. Nature made them so,
and if they didn't laugh three-fourths
Of the time, and talk three times as
much as is necessary, to say nothing OF
using twice as many words as are need
