eyes A pack of cards is scattered over
the floor where an angry blow has
thrown them. At the cry Of Fight. %
all the occupants of the place gather

The two men face each other with

SINGING TO CATTLE.
How the Cowboys Sometimes Quiet Their
Rostive Herds.

How the Cowboys Sometimes Quiet Their
Restive Herds.
There is one popularity in reference
TO cattle on the range that is known to
few save cattlemen," said R. s. Carton,
of New Mexico, (which helps US great
ly in handling large herd on the trail.
When a lot of cattle are gathered up
there Is always danger of q night STAN
pede, and II this occurs it is a very seri-
Gus matter, for not only will the herd
become greatly scattered, but also
many Of the steers will die. More timid
animals than stampeded cattle it is diff
cult to imagine, and once thoroughly
stampeded scores Of them will run until
they drop dead in their tracks.
The signs Of an approaching STAN
peds are familiar to every man
who has been much on the trail.
First few cattle will begin to low,
or rather, to utter sort of roar.
All through the herd the single ami
mails will get up and begin to move
around. The others become restless,
and If something Is not done to check
them the whole herd will within q
short time be rushing headlong over the
plain.
THE most soothing influence that
can be exerted is the human voice, and
when these ominous mutterings are
heard everyone on night watch begins
to sing. It may well be imagined that
cowboy music would have anything but
quieting effect on musical ears, but it
amply satisfies the cattle. As soon as
songs are heard the nervous animals be-
come quiet, and one by one they lie
down, and soon all are at rest, fairly
sung TO sleep. A peculiar feature OF
the singing is that every cowboy, no
matter how rough and lawless, knows
. variety of hymns, and 1t is with
church music that the stampede is pre-
vented. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

The constitution of the six New En-

They contain very little beyond the or

cellent work on the Battle of Mon

idea about it. He said that the beak
nose was one of the main character

constitute typical American face. Add
to this high, broad forehead, cheek
bones not too high, face more long than
oval, lips that in thickness would be a
medium between the sensual ones of
the Venus de Pergamos and the classic
size of the Venus de Milo. and square
cut, prominent chin. He thought Amer

would have been quite as well pleased
with water, but now he must have his
"booze" with regularity and precision,

where it will do the most good. His

Children often get indigestion from
drinking milk. They are allowed to
swallow a glass of milk whole which
is almost as bad as swallowing a whole
potato. Taken into the stomach in that
way the milk is coagulated into solid
mass about the size of the glass of
milk, whereas if it is slipped slowly, it
is coagulated into small curds which
are easily acted upon by the gastric
juice. There is just as much difference
in ease of digestion between the stomach
acting upon a single large curd or upon a
great many small ones as there would be
dlnerence between melting by the influ-
ence OF the surrounding atmosphere of
large piece OF ice and lump that was
broken into fragments. In order to in

stock men that calves do not thrive as
well when fed out of trough as when
fed in the natural way. They are often
kept thin from chronic diarrhpa or
other digestive disturbances.
IN some cases buttermilk is moro
wholesome than sweet milk for the rea-
son that buttermilk will not form large
curds. The Tactic acid has coagulated
the milk by the process of churninp and
dissolved the casiene so that when It.
enters the stomach it forms small. soft
curds. Buttermilk should be perfectly
sweet and fresh if eaten. Old butter
milk is exceedingly unwholesome.
Sour milk used in this country is not
so wholesome as the sour milk in Ger.

housewife always boils the milk as soon
as 1t comes from the COW, and boiling
destroys whatever germs may be pres

Carlsbad one of the secrets of their
treatment is the simplicity of the diet
which patients are given, consisting
