The Arms Of the Soudancsc. /


The principal weapon OF the insur-
gent tribes Is not, as some suppose, u
spear or javclin which is thrown ut the
enemy. but lance. The only tribe
which uses the javelin is that of the
Mohammedsn Jakruris. who are very
small in number, and are settlers on
the Abyssinian frontier from Darfo,ir.
The best lances arc those used BY Bedia
and Khaza races, which fought under
Osman Digma in the late engagements
near Suakim. These lAnc6s are rarely
thrown, being much too heavy for that
purpose, and the Bedjas are not pro-
vided, like the Abyssnians and SOM
ais, with . number of extra lances
which they can use to replace ,any,
they have lost. The lances OF fbe Bag
CARA tribe, who are the principal sup
porters Of the Mehdi in Kordofan, arr
entirely different from those used hy
tho men under Osman Digfna. ThAy
are upward of five meters long, ami
have u head, which is very sharp both
~ the point and sides, about eighty
centimctcrs long and twelve wide. The:
Baggars are we'll mounted, and ara
very skillful in the use of their lancos-.
Next to the lance, the weapon most
used BY the Soudenesc is the stra' ght,
double-edged sword, about ninety
ccntimeters long and four wide,
mostly made ii Solingen md
ruld all over Northern Africa. A
good sword is highly priced in tho
Soudan, and the people are careful 10
keep the swords sharp and clean. The
scabbards are mostly made in the coun-
try. either Of wood covered with leath-
or, or, for hunting swords, Of elephants
cars. Swords, daggers and oak clubs
are also used; bows and arrows have
almost entirely gone out Of fashion
The shields u ed BY the SOudanese are
made OF the skins Of elephants, rhinos-
ceroses, giraffes and butfaloes They
are generally round and Of about fifty
centimeters diameter, but the Shukrieil
and other tribes on the Blue Nile have
long shields which cover the whole
body. Armor is also used by the lead
ing men Of most of the tribes It con-
sisis Of an iron helmet and visor. and 4
coat made OF thin steel ringa. which
covers the whole body down to .he feet.
The chief $ horses are also protected in
similar manner, but such suits Of ar
NOR are very expensive, and are not
used by more than six hundred persons
in the whole Of the Soudan. Fire-arm3
are not very common, but they ara q
good deal used in. the hunting districts.
The worst shots in the Soudan were
among the men under Oslnan DigfhA,
while in Kordofan the Mehdi has among
his supporters many hunters whp,sif
armed with Remington rites, wopld bc
formidable even to Europeans. -Atleas

A Cheap Poultry Yard.

Poultry keepers
Go to your nearest saw-mill and
get six pieces of scantling Is feet long
and 2 inches thick, by 4 inches wide,
and two more 16 feet long, 4 inches
by 4 inches thick, and saw them in
two, making 4 pieces s feet long.
Plant the four pieces in the ground
about two and a half feet, fourteen
feet apart one way, and seven feet the
other, making the yard just twice as
long as broad, then cut your 2x4
scantling and nail them to your posts,
and the frame is finished. Then get
about 100 strips, rippings from boards
being generally used. about Is feet
long and about an inch thick these
will cost about cent apiece, the hun
dred costing about 81. Then take
a strip about three inches wide, and
be sure and have it long enough to
reach from one rail to the other per-
pendicularly. Then plumb your first
strip and place your upright next,
and nail on another, and so on until
it is finished, then put on your top !;
the strips do not need to be as close
together as on the sides, as the chick
ems can not fly through as small a
space as they can crawl. four inches
being as near together as they need
be. This will also need about eight
pounds of nails which will cost forty
cents, and allowing sixty cents for the
scantling, will make a poultry yard
that will meet the requirements of the
amateur poultry-keeper, and at a cost
of about 50.

The japanese native papers are
crying out at the extinction of the
lacquer industry of the country. The
tree from which the varnish is obtain
ed is disappearing. Formerly, like
the mulberry tree, on which the silk
worm feeds, it was protected by law.
Each family of the upper classes was
obliged to rear 100 trees, the middle
classes 20, and the lower classes 40.
Since this law fell into disuetude the
cultivation of the lacquer tree has
rapidly declined. The trees were
cut down without care and none
were planted to replace them, SO that
they have become exceedingly rare,
while the price of lacquer has enorm-
ously increased. Similar complaints,
too, are heard of the process of disaf1O-
restation going on in Japan since the
ancient law, which required every one
who cut down a tree to plant two in
its place, was abolished.

Cutting Seed Potatoes.

Last years experiments made by
the different agricultural colleges in
the United States were against the
theory that single eyes and cut seed
would Weld the largest crop of pota-
toes. The largest yield was from seed
of whole potatoes, but the difference
was not great, and there were a good
many more small potatoes from the
whole than there were from the seed
of cut potatoes and single eyes. We
know from our own experience for the
last three or four years that we have
been in the habit of using more seed
than is profitable or necessary. 1--WE
believe the plan of cutting seed pota-
toes to single eyes," says the Toronto
Globe and Farmer, "snd planting
each by itself is good one where the
operation is carefully performed, so
that imperfect eyes are thrown out. j."
We are not prepared to endorse this,
but would rather put two single eyes
in a hill than single one, and pos
sibly it may not be a waste of seed to
plant three single eyes. Some Of the
best potato growers in the United
States and Canada have always con-
tended that the best way was to cut
the seed so that there would be two
good eyes on every piece and three
pieces should be put in hill.

Glover Lore.
m the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
One kind of clOver-and there are
Ee,rly three-score species-was one
reputed very nOisome to witches. In
a similar mood it was worn and
believed in equally by peasant and
knight as a charm most powerful
against those who practiced "the art
that none may name," which the
famous Caledonian wizard of the
Ettrick Valley, Michael Scott, learned
Gin Padua beyond the sea-" Then it
came to pass that when young men
and maidens went ACQUIRING and to-
gether found the clover with four
leaves, forthwith the old folks versed
in such lore pronounced them destined
by the fates for each other to live
happily forever and a day. So by
some such strange method of reason
ing has this the clover with four leaves
came to signify good fortune. Then
those generally clover writer's, the
poets (whom we all respect, took it
up, and of course, having none to
gainsay or deny their lines, wrote
many pretty things on the clover with
four leaves; and now it is as rank
heresy to disbelieve, or even doubt,
this delightful fiction, as to hesitate in
accepting the story that the maiden
who, barefoot and alone, treads after
sunset on marigolds, can understand
the language of the birds.

Destroying Sheep Ticks.

Tobacco dust has proved a very
cheap and reliable remedy, and is at

generally dislike wettlng the wool in
cold weather, and this is much more
simple and easier in practice. Whole
sale dealers buy many hogsheads of
Havana tobacco. After they have
used all they can for every purpose in
the trade, there remains a gritty dust
of no use to them whatever. They
will give any one all he needs. Ten
pounds will be sufficient for one hun
