or whlstling sound with his lips.
Boon the snake puts his head out o1
the hole and peers around. In an in
slant the forked stick descends and fixes
It to the ground by the neck, and the
black fellow, aeizing it with his muscular
hands just behind the head, 80 that it
cannot bite him, drags it out OF the hole
and twists its head off; or. If it is too
strong. for that, pounds it on the
ground till its back is broken. So
with the iguanas and all the other
animals. The black fellow never
loses their trail when once he gets upon
1t, and having followed them to their
lair, he patiently awaits until they come
out or until he is able to get hand in
and pull them out.
The black fellows declare, and proba-
bly, with truth, that not single animal
can escape them if they have time to
hunt 4 piece of desert country thor.

camp they can follow their own trail by
sight with the greatest ease, but they
say they can not follow their own trail
by scent at all. It has no scent for them,
though another mans hos strong scent.
This is one of the most curious facts con-
nected with these strange people; but 1t
is only in accord with the well-known

A Magnificent Costu me.

The Empress of Russia has just been
presented with Circassian national
costume by the wealthy Princess Gussa-
rowa. The magnificent dress conaists oil
pointed cap of black velvet, shot with
gold, and edged with border of silver
embroidery. Over this is spread white
gauze veil speckled with white stars. The
robe is Of garnet.colored velvet with
short sleeves, and lined with lilac silk
1t is heavily embroidered with gold, and
both sides of the bodice edged with
borders are ornamented with q row of
star.shaped silver buttons, from which
hang gold tassels. To the dress also be-
longs short jacket of sky-blue Atlask
with the gold embroidery, which is
fastened down the front by twenty. three
pairs OF golden clasps, over one
inch wide and heavily studded
with tdrquoises. There further be-
longs to this magnificent costume q
roae- -colored chemisette of Atlask, en-
broidered with silver. The girdle is of
garnet-colored velvet, with gold en-
broidery, and, is fastened by broad
silver clasp of exquisite workmanship
and studded with turquoises. The loose
wide Circsssian neither garments are
made of -colored stripsd Atlaek
and embroidered with silver. Finally,
the shoes of ponceau-colored morocco,
with silver laces, have high
heels made from some rare
wood, and the latter are covered with
purple velvet, ornamented with gold.
The whole costume, needless to say, is
exceedingly gorgeous and costly, and it
is an exact copy of an ancient Circassian
regal dress. 1t is said to be the work of
the Princess Gusssrowa, who herself pre-
sented it to the Empress inclosed in a
satchel of heliotrope with Her Majesty g
initials and the imperial crown in gold.-

TRACKING SNAKES BY SCENT.
The Wonderful Hunting Powers OF
tho Australian Native.


When the Australian black fellow is
pushed and can find no other game, he
catches snakes, lizards, iguanas and
kangaroo rats, the wiliest and most agile
of all wild animals, on their own grounds
and amid surroundings the most favora-
BILE to their concealment, by simply eK-
ercising the faculties Of a superior wild
animal.
With those wonderful great brown
eyes of his he can see the faintest trail
where a snake had zigzagged through
the dry moss and leaves, or the slightest
footmark whore an igusna had fed from
his approach to its refuge in hollow
tree. When daylight fails him and the
dews of evening begin to fall, bis broad
nostrils take up the chase, and,
STOPPING low down among the
bushes, with tough forked stick
in his hand to support him in his
firing attitude, he follows the track al
Iunerringly as any bloodhound. When
he runs snake to earth. if he csnnoI

working Rarren Land.

A correspondent Of the Rural New
Yorker earnestly advises any young man
who has a few hundred dollars to invest
in a small farm not to purchase poor or
half barren land with the hope Of bring
ing it up to fertility, but to buy else
where. This advice accords with the
practice Of some good farmers whom we
have known, one Of whom had a farm
of his own in a portion OF the State
known for its sterility. He did not un,
dertake to work that farm, knowing
that it would not produce enough. but
let it to others. Not being rich enough
to buy another farm, he then rented
one in a fertile portion of Western
New York, where his share from the
land was greater than the whole prod
uct of the poor farm, and he did well
by the operation 1t often happens
that the same amount of labor must be
performed on both; and it requires IL

Hints as TO the Care aud Treatment OF
Brood Sows.
The brood sows should be kept In fine,
thrifty condition. BY this l do not
mean fat enough for market, but so they
look we'll. Old sows that nave reached
maturity, IL of any of the improved
breeds, need but little feed to keep them
in prime condition, except when suck.
ling pigs or for a short time after rear
ing their young, in order to gain the
flesh they have lost by the drain the
pigs have made on them. Young sows
should be fed about all they will eat, Of
a variety Of food, such as oats, corn,
middlings and milk, with the run Of a
grass lot. Oil meal is very good, in
proper quantity. Keep them growing
so that they may be large and we'll de-
veloped before having their first litter
OF pigs. They should be eight months
old before being bred; they will then be
one year old at narrowing time, and If
properly taken care of will have no
trouble in being delivered of their
young.
Often farmers have trouble with
young sows at time of giving birth, sim.
ply because they are coupled too young,
or have not had sufficient feed to de-
velop growth. Many a young SOW has
died at narrowing, either through the
carelessness or ignorance Of the owner,
by being bred too small and young. ]
have been called in to give assistance
at such times when it was impossible TO
ronla- - axroort urith a N ;pofrvvnapt
made especially for the purpose.
After the SOW has been coupled sha
should be tnrned by herself in a close
pen, where she will keep quiet until the
heat has passed of. Watch her from
eighteen to twenty-five days after
coupling, as that is the time they gen'
orally come in If not safe in pig, al.
though l have known instances where a
SOW would come in in fourteen days, and
have known them again to go twenty
nine days, but these are only rare cases.
When safe in pig feed on good whole
some food, with a clean warm place tc
sleep. and above all allow them plenty
OF exercise whenever the weather viii
permit. | can not impress this word
exercise too strongly, as upon it depends
to a great extent the crop of pigs. A sow
that has been allowed the exercise she
should have will be delivered of her
young much easier, and her pigs will be
more fully developed, will come strong.
er, grow better and make better pigs
than a SOW that has been confined in a
close pen and fed principally OF corn.
SOW that has been confined will
give birth to more runty pigs than the
one that has had exercise L. Van

A w~en-EquIpped Athletic Field Wanted
In Every village.

A wen-Equlpped Athletic Field Wanted
in Every village.
A well-equipped athletic field, with
room for football, baseball, a running
track, and, in short, a complete athletic
outfit, in every village in America hav-
ing a population OF from 10, 200 down to
500, would do more to promote good
health, good heads and good morals
than-but / am at a loss for a com
parison. The good to be done seems in
estimable. And IL all this is too much,
let some good man in each Of these viii
lagos give the boys five, or four, or
three, or even two acres OF land, even
though it was worth 500 per acre, for
a village playground. Boys and young
men naturally love play, outdoor
sports of every kind, and under a little
healthy stimulus and careful direction
this natural taste can be developed and
strengthened.
Noboy is going TO sit around a saloon
of any sort when by going a few steps
he can witness a first-class game Of base
ball, or, what is better still, can take
part in one. Boys are not constructed
that way. Notice in the cities how all
sorts Of boys, and young men, too, are
eager to witness a game OF ball; how
much more eager TO play 1t. would
not say that the ordinary professional
game Of ball is the best thing fort boy
to attend, but it is not the game that is
at fault. Fortunately there is no pro-
fessional football as yet. Moreover, II
you provide the opportunity for one OF
two hours hard physical exercises in the
afternoon, you need not worry about the
evening. There is no safeguard quito SO
good against nocturnal deviations as a
good, healthy, all-around tiredness.
Why is not that which is good for our
college boys good for all our boys? Why
is not that which is good for boys in
large towns good for boys in small
towns? Why has not the boy Of the
country villages just as good a right TO
the opportunity to distinguish himself
in the great games of the nation as any
boy whatsoever? Are we going too far
to encourage athletics? Let us answer
the question by asking whether we can
go too far Il encourage health? Do we
shudder at the possible danger of be-
coming a nation Of athletes? The
Greeks in all their glory were that, and
their athletes were not trained alone in
academic halls and city gymnasiums.-

The Poet Wordsworth Makes the First
Mention of Them.
The earliest notice of steel pens that
! nave met with is by Wordsworth. In
1906 he and his family were occupying
the house at Colerton during the abb
sence of Sir George and Lady Beaumont,
and in the month of December the poet
wrote to the latter what he calls ''the
longest letter ] yer wrote in my life.
and with reason, as it fills eighteen
pages. He begins: my Dear Lady Beau
mont: There's penmanship for you'll i
shall not be able to keep it up to the
end in this style, Notwithstanding l have
the advantage of writing with one Of
your steel pens, with which Miss Hutch
inson has just furnished me-"
The next meetion that / have noted
is by DR.. Kitehiner. in 1924. Wher
speaking of a friend above sixty he
says: This strain of the eye and coca.
sion for spectacles Of high magnifying
power is particularly found in mendine
pens, so that he has a sufficient number
OF pens to prevent the necessity Of
mending any Of them until he has fin
ished writing"
To this there Is appended a note: "Te
those who find the mending of pens
rather a difficult job / recommend the
occasional use of a steel pen. especially
when they wish to write very small and
neatly" The steel pen seems to have
been still a rarity at hat time, and my
own s~chool-bov experience tends to show
that it was. From about 1924 to 1854 ]
