Beef cattle are not indigenous to any
portion Of jungle covered Malaysia, the
buffalo finding subsistence there. But the
buffalo is not used for dairy purposes, and
II Is seldom eaten except by the poorest
classes, chiefly Chinese. The meat is
tough and has an unpleasant flavor. But
ut heavy draught, blowing, log hauling
and such uses the buffalo is at home. He
is larger n stronger han the American
OK. He must have mud holes and creeks
in which he can wallow and hattie. The
natives make great use oil him for cult
waiting rice. But he must be unhitched
when he gets rcstive, for that is a sign he
wants TO battle, And If the desire isn't
Eratiied the buffalo straiEhtway becomes
dangerous
These buiTalos, the consul says, are
often, in size and weight, about half way
between n very large OK and an average
elephant. They have pOndcruus and pc
culiar horns, somewhat like those Of the
American buffalo, only much longer.
They are mouse colored generally, have q
very thin coating of hair, and sometimes
none ut MI except at the end Of the tail,
ON the ear and on the head.

Is over 90 years Of age now, and 1t is n de
light to listen TO his tales of the days and
ways when thec century came in. Among
his earliest and strongest rccollections
was n peculiar feature in the burial cere-
monies of the hero OF Tripoli, Commodore
Edward Preble, in Portland, 1907.
'Thcy had sent ont all the country over"
he relates, 'for band music. No entire
organization could be got. But more
than 100 musicians came, sort of on their
own hook. When they got here it was
found that, while the town was overrun
with every manner of musician and mu-
steal instrument, that there was not one
dirgo or march they could all play to-
gethcr, If they were to be hung for 1t.
The funeral obscquies in every other re-
spect were more imposing than ever before
or since, known here, music must be had
whether or no; and it was finally discov-
cred that the musicians could all play
just one composition. | don't remember
the nnmc of it, but anyhow, it was II roll

Quetelet obtained some weight records,
but very little reliance can be placed on
them. He concluded from such statistics
us he could get that a new born infant
was, on an average, one-twentieth the
weight which Is acquired in middle life;
lat during the first year after birth the
increment of weight is about one-tenth of
all that is added subsequently, and that
between h 10Th and Goth years more is
added to the weight than in any other
five year period during life. But indi-
vidual instances differ so widely from the
average that very little reliance can be
placed on such results.
That Quetelet's statistics of weight were
incomplete and unsatisfactory is shown
by the act that he did not detect the in
teresting law recently recognized, accord.

Tor even diminishesj when the height IS
increasing rapidly, but increases rapidly

Most persons who have seen Miss Muir
free have formed three distinct concep-
lions of the author of the mountaineer
tales. Reading Craddock's stories before
the secret >of the ~pseudonym has been
revealed the writer of them might have
been easily imagined as a thoughtful,
poetic natured man. A southerner with
tremendous possibilities and a tremendous
earnestness. A man who had lived face
TO face with nature md the eternal
v%erities, TO whom the brawls and strug-
giles of urban existence were of less mean
ing and import than the loud chatter Of
mountain brooks. A tall, lean, brown
Tennesseean probably, with that indolent
slouchiness of gait and carriage, under
which many asoutherner conceals muscles
of iron. That was the ideal Charles
Egbert Craddock, who was so real to ones
fancy that when Miss Murfree revealed
herself II couldn't quite concede that he
had no existence.
Then with the advertisements of her
books appeared a little wood cut of her, n
vivid faced woman, with eyes and hair of
~intensest black, clear cut, vigorous feat
ures, and u certain masculine force in her
aspect hat accorded well with her bold,
clear signature, and then Mt Inst one came
TO sec her in the flesh, and behold she
was rs unlike either OF these Craddocks
Us shcS were Unlike eAch Other. 4 very
small woman; so lame she can scarcely
cross the foor unaided. Slight and yet
square in figure. A small white face, with
the withercd whiteness of one whose health
had always been delicate. Pale, neutral
brown hair and eyes, and u formal prim-
ness of manner like thnt of n shy, clever
woman who has lived much in retirement.
The only hin one gets of the great author
Is In the impression sho gives of seeing
and noting of everything; of weighing and
estimating every II about her, and hHv-
ing y marvellous strength and concentra-
ton Of attention; but her reserve is in1-

Sometimes the Gauchos are descended
from excellent Spanish families, but life
on the our dless pampas has weaned
them from the restraints Of civilization as
it exists in thu Argentine Republic. That
they are not altogether "wld'' is shown
by the fact that in almost every hut is
found n small image or picture which
came through the hands OF the simple
priests Of Mendoza or Cordova. They VIII
carry their children for miles across the
pampas and face the dread pampero to

in like manner they will carry their dead

simple RcmcuicE That Can 10 Procured
Mt n Moments Notice.
Some persons have tendency TO
bleed, no matter how slight the cause.
A small cut, scratch or the extraction
OF u tooth will cause profuse bleeding
and sometimes ondanger life. When
from the latter cause take little pow
dered chalk, roll It up in lint in the
form of cork or plug, dip 1t in spirits
OF turpentine and press it into the
cavity. Change at every ten or fifteen
minutes until the bleeding is stopped
Let the last plug remain over night,
and then do not pull 1t out, but wash
the mouth in tcpld wator until it is
loosened, using cold after the first few
mouthfuls.
Bleeding from the nose is seldom
serious, except in old persons. 1t Is
often good for children, II not too copi-
Gus. II symptoms OF faintness ensue,
let the person sit upright, bathe the
face and neck with cold water, or dash
cold water on the face, or, better still.
take cloth or towel, fold dip in cold
water and bandage tho forehead, and
raise the arms as high as possible over
the head or cross them firmly behind
the back. This action has the effect o.
contracting the muscles of the neck and
diminishing the rush of the blood to
the head. In very obstinate cases
pinches of very finely powdered alum
may be inhaled or alum water snuffed
up the nostrils. Plugging the nostrils
should not be resorted to unless by n
physician, for, If not properly done, the
blood, instead of being stopped, finds
its way to the top of the throat and is
swallowed. boston Transcript.
