The laws of health are taught in the
schools; but not in a way to be Of much
practical benefit and are never illustrated
by living examples, which in many cases
might easily he done. If some scholar,
who had just contracted a cold, was
brought befure the school, 80 that all
could hear the dry, loud cough and know
its significance; see the thin white coat
ing OH the tongue and later, as the cold
developed, see the profuse watery expec-
toration and thin watery discharge from
the nose, not one of them would ever for
get what the first symptoms of a cold
were. The scholar sh ,uld then be given
Chamberlain Cough Remedy freely,
that all might see that even severe cold
could be cured in one or two days, or at
least greatly mitigated, when properly
treated as soon as the first symptoms ap-
pear. This remedy is famous for its cures
of coughs, colds and Group. 1t is made
especially for these diseases and is the
most prompt and most reliable medicine
known for the purpose. Fifty cent bottles

KNGgMILL ISLANDER. ALASKAN WARRIOR.
It seems strange that the Esquimaux
high up in Behring Strait should feel the
heed Of armor. With plates cut from
walrus tusk he makes mail put together
like that of the japanese that are marvels
of patience. When barrel hopes were to
be had he sometimes used these instead
of ivory.
The Churkchies, on the Siberian side
Of Behring Strait, had or armor made of
bands Of sealskin that telescoped like a
tourists drinking-cup. They had a shield
attachment protecting the sides Of the
face, also a square breastpiece hinged on
with leather thongs.
Ashield is detached or movable armor
Whils it is tolerably easy to pick out all
the tribes that have advanced to the use
of a protection worn on the body, all the
barbarian world use shields. Happy was
the Indian that had a tsmedicine'' shield;
no bullet or arrow could hurt him, and,
summit of Indian felicity, it was reputed
to make him successful in battle and
horse-stealing. The Indian b~uffalo-hide
shield was generally showily decorated
in colors and trapped with red flannel,
scalps, horse-hair and eagle feathers.
Sometimes the designs relate the exploits
of the owner, or are his own dream de-
vice, a kind of coat-of-arms.
African shields compare favorably in
point of area with a whole suit of rmo
They are made of raw hide, wood or
basket and slat work. The latter are as
pretty weaving as can be found. The
Congo negroes trusted their shields
against bullets tor a time. One of basket.
work in the National Museum has a hole
made by a rife ball that killed the man
that carried it.
The large round Siamese shields are
neatly woven of split rattan. Long
wooden shields covered with tufts OF
hair ara found among the head-hunting
Dyaks of Borneo. The New Guinea
shields are of wood, partly covered with
finely woven basket-work.
The most wonderful shield in the
world is that used by ZONE Australian
tribes. It is really a sort of parryine
stick. With IL the native turns aside
aEy spear or other throwing missile sem
against him. An Australian gave an ex
hibition of its use to the Prince of Vale:
il London some years ago. He parted
with ease spears that were thrown full
force at him from a distance Of ifteer

HOW TO ANALYzE SOIL.

"The most practical and satisfactory
analysis that can be made of a soil is
by growing common farm plants with
and without manures," says Professor
Hayward, of the Maryland Agricultural
College. ssSoil tests made by dividing
a certain area of uniform land into small
plots and using different fertihzing
materials on these are much more
valuable to the farmer than any chemical
analysis can be. IL the soil is rich and
contains q sufficient quantity of the
different elements Of plant food in an
available form, for the growth OF the
crop no marked effects will be seen from,
the addition of a single fertilizing ele-
ment. But on lands that have been
cropped for a series of years, especially
if the same crops have been grown year
after year, the probabilities are that a
one-sided exhaustion has taken place,
and that the addition of the right ele-
ment of plant food viii return a good
crop. II, by . little careful work on q
small area, a farmer can determine what
his field Of twenty, thirty, or fifty acres
most needs it may SAVE him from buying
a complete fertilizer. and thereby spend.
ing money for plan-food that is already
in the soil in sufficient quantity.
