Turkeys are restless creatures, but
free-spirited and cheerful in their way.
The young ones run most of the time,
bending their heads towards the ground,
piping plaintively and monotonously
with rising infection, and mailing
flies with astonishing swiftness and pre-
clsion. All their habits tell the story of
their comparatively recent domestication.
Although they may become very tame,
as lions cub may, they have great
deal of the savage in them still. They
hunt as long as they can see at night, and
then are fain to roost in the trees rather
than in the hen-house. The farmer al
ways says that turkey is the biggest
fool that the Lord ever made, and declares
that the goose is wisdom itself in COM
parison. The turkey is no doubt foolish,
speaking in terms Of civilization, but she
understands the turkey business very
well for all that. She has not yet so COM
pletely adapted herself to the ways of
human beings as the hen and the goose
have, and that is the whole story of her
foolishness. Perhaps she has her own
idea of the wisdom of these other highly
domesticated FOWLS Boston Transcript.

Japanese supplant the Chinese.

A great many japanese are and have
been working in the hop fields in Sacre-
mento County. The Restriction act has
had the effect of transforming the meek
and lowly Chinaman from an humble and
submissive servant to proud and i'm
perious dictator. A whim is enough to
throw gang of him into a strike, and
to cross his purpose is to invite his ex-
pensive displeasure.
The Chinese on these occasions have
the best of it, because to permit them to
abandon q fruit or hop crop in the midst
of O gathering is more costly than to
yield to their demands. Chinese labor
is scarcer than it used to be and the cum
ming Mongolians are taking advantage
of their position. The hop growers have
had experiences with the Chinese last
year and the year before, and flew to
Piutes, and this season to Japanese for
relief.
Last Summer the Chinese discovered
that hops had advanced in price, and
the coolies were quick to take advantage
of the opportunity to boost their wages.
1t is something of q condescension now
a-days for Chinese to work at all. In
this condition of affairs the japanese
are dropping into the places that used
to be filled by the coolies.
The Japs are more docile and obed-
lent lot. They are exceedingly polite,
and greet the "boss' of mornings with
DOTTED hat and bow. They are quick to
learn, diligent, and not very exacting in
the requirements for their personal COM
fort. In fact, very little satisfies them.
Where they work by the day they are
paid 81, but some of them contract in
numbers at $27 month.
In all cases the Japs pay their own
board. Unlike the Chinese the Japanese
readily adapt themselves to the customs
of the country. They wear civilized
clothing and buy their food of American
grocers and butchers. Thus far they
have been generally confined in their
work to trailing and trimming the hop
vines and similar work.
The hop men appear to be well salts
fed with the Japanese experiment, and
say that they are unable to procure white
men to do the work that the Mikado's
subjects are glad to do. 1t is not un-
likely that the dollar-a-ddy feature of the
matter has something to do with the aver
sion of the ordinary laborer to the hop
field, besides the fact that white men are
rarely equipped with housekeeping uten-
sils as the inferior races are, and they
will not herd together like the latter

THE BEZoAR STONE.
A Deposit in Monkey Anatomy
Highly Priced by Indian Doctors.

The "Bezoar stone" plays great part
in native doctOring throughout those
countries where it is found. The true
variety esteemed in these days is found,
so far as we know, in Borneo alone,
valuable business with the jungle tribes,
as will be understood, when single stone
may fetch e20 to e25. Ordinary Bezoar
is extracted from monkeys, but from
which part of the body does not yet seem
assured. Some of the natives allege that
they find it only in the stomach, others
in the intestines. Mr.. Hart Everett was
told that it grows in the head, and also
in the hands, while many say that they
expect it in any part of the body. This
seems most probable under the circum-
stances, though somewhat opposed to our
notions.
The stones vary much in size, the
largest commonly reaching the dimen-
sions of flbert, but vastly bigger
specimens have been found. The sur
face, though contorted, is smooth and
shining, of pale olive green color. The
great supply comes from the upper
waters of the Batang Lupar, in the
Kayan country. This river is diverted
at one point by limestone hills, in which
presently it vanishes-so the natives
say. Salt springs abound, and the
species of monkey which yield Bezoar-
one of the Semnopithecus genus-gather
in troops to drink. 1t is this water
probably, impregnated with salt and
lime, which causes the deposit, Hunters
lie in wait around the springs. By ex-
perience they can distinguish the
monkeys which suffer most from the
disease-though they do not report that
it obviously causes suffering. These
they shoot with blow pipes and arrows,
which are thorns Of the sago palm, tipped
with upas poison.
Of late, however, this monkey product
has fallen in the estimation of Hindus-
tani doctors, who used to consume great
quantities. They put more faith now in
a variety obtained from species Of
porcupine inhabiting the same region,
called Guligu Landate-landate is the
native term for Bezoar in general. This
kind, though not perceptibly differing
from the other, except in its greater size,
is much more rare and proportionately
more costly.
As for the use of Bezoar in medicine,
in the first place it is regarded as an an
tidote to snakes venom. In the next
it is employed for fevers, asthma and
debility. Patients who can afford to take
costly medicine receive the stone itself
in powder; others mast be content with
water in which it has been soaked.

A Human Barometer.

Tommy johnson, fourteen-year-old
boy, who lives near Mascoutah, ILL.,, is
able, so it is told, to predict the weather
infallibly by looking at his hair. The
hair is straight and black as that of an
Indian ordinarily, but at the approach
of storm the hair begins to kink and
curl two or three days before hand, and
it remains in that condition until after
the storm is over, when it again be-
comes perfectly straight. If the storm
is of any magnitude the hair will curl
up into little balls. The boys hair is
used as barometer by the farmers of
that section. If neighboring farmer
wants to haul hay to town, harvest
wheat, or anything else that makes him
particularly interested in the weather, he
and looks at Tommy's hair If the hair
is straight, the famer makes his ar
rangements to do the work, but if the
hair is curled, then the work is post
poned until after the approaching storm.
The people of the vicinity have seen
the warning of rain storms verified so
often that they have implicit faith in
Tommy's hair as barometer. For an
ordinary rain the hair kinks only trife
A few weeks ago it was discovered that
Tommy's hair was kinked in hard balls
all over his head, and the news spread
all over the community in very short
time. The next day violent storm
struck that section, doing considerable
damage. After the storm was over the
people were greatly relieved, until it
was learned that Tommy's hair was
curled up more than ever, and then an
other storm was expected. The second
storm was cyclone. Houses were
blown down and several people were
badly injured in the neighborhood. After
the cyclone Tommy's hair became per-
fectly straight again, and the people
rejoiced ereat.-[Picayune.

Rough on Draughts.

A common source Of cold and discom-
fort in winter is the draught from the
bottom of shrunken or badly fitting
door. A simple device has been brought
out by which these currents of air can be
so diverted as to be made desirable in
stead of Objectionable. A slab of wood
works on two pivot hooks projecting from
the bottom of the door and fitted at one
end with a curved piece of wood which
comes against the jamb on closing the
door and presses a felt facing close to the
floor. On opening the door an india
rubber spring draws the bottom of the
slab toward the door, and so clears the
carpet. The bottom edge of the slab,
being lined with felt, is absolutely
draught-tight. On the door being shut
the air which rushes in strikes against
the slab, is turnedupward and goes to the
top of the room. In this way the draught
under the door, which was before con-
slant menace to the health of the occu-
pants of the room, becomes positive
advantage in promoting the thorough
ventilation of the apartment Chicago

A Cheap Cement.

A man who is in the business says:
cover dozen kinds of cement are made
which will unite the broken edges of
glass and china, and one is about as good
as another. The easiest and cheapest to
prepare is made by taking two ounces of
pulverizcd white gum shellack and half
an ounce of gum mastic. Soak them to-
gether in couple of ounces of sulphuric
ether and add half pint of alcohol.
After the whole is dissolved, the prepara-
ton is ready for use. You heat the
edges of the article to be mended, put on
