in covering themselves from crown to
sole with the most varied and star
tling of painted designs. A Mang-
battu of especially fastidious tastes
shows his dudishness most remarkably in
his hairdress.
"With astounding care and the greatest
variety" says DR.. Junker, ''they build
up on their heads these wonderful struc-
tures-most tedious and elaborate bits of
work, to which, however, the vain
young men of the better classes patiently
submit. Everything that women OF
civilized countries accomplished in this
particular, is far behind the marvellous
forms of those hair phenomena"
The head band, and accompaniment
of the style of elaborate headdress con-
sists of thin black cords wound tightly
around the forehead from the base of
the nose to line three or four inches
above, and made fast to the back of the
head. The head bands, as well as the
headdress of a Maugbattu remains un-
disturbed usually for weeks in success
sion.
The bands are put on the heads Of
unweaned children, and have per.
ceptible effect on the development OF
the skull. DR.. Junker saw many Mang-
batta children whose heads had thus
been rendered peaked to the extent of
extreme deformity.
Experience, shows, however" says
DR.. Junker, 'sthat such artificial NAL
formations of the skull do not effect the
mental facilities so long as the top OF
the skull, and with it the brain, is al
lowed to develop unhindered in some
one direction. The Manghatru tribes
prove the truth of this assertion, Tor
they stand without doubt on much
higher plane of life than many other
native people which do not use the
head bands"

It is a popular belief among many
sea-farers that the shark depends to a
greater or less extent upon the pilot fish
for information, and is guided by the
little attendant to the various tid-bits
that come in its way. How much truth
there is in this it would be difficult to
determine, but it IS barely possible that
the curiosity of the shark may be attract

The ROYAL makes more and better

WATERING HORSES.
The Water Should BE Pure and Supple
at Regular Intervals.

at Regular Intervals.
There are few farmers who will find it
always convenient to follow what Is
known as the best rules for watering
horses. Yet in many cases a change
could readily made with benefit.
1t is an established fact that horse
should not have water just after eating.
Allowing an interval to eat hearty
meal and then to take good drink of
water is to waste more or less of the
food, and the consequence is that the
animal fails to derive the benefit that it
should.
The taking of the water after eating
has a tendency to wash the food out Of
the stomach and into the intestines be-
fore it is thoroughly digested; in conse'
quence 1t is largely lost.
If the horse is watered too much be-
fore eating the water lowers the tenn
rerature of the stomach, so digestion
could not begin until the proper tenn
perature is again secured.
While in either case no seemingly
particular damage will be done, yet 1t
tends to create disorder In the system
that sooner or later may develop into
disease
The proper way of watering horse
Is at least from half to three-quarters
of an hour before feeding and two hours
after eating,
This gives the stomach time to raise
the temperature to its normal condi-
ton, if watered before eating, and time
for the food to digest after, and better
health will be maintained.
On the farm this plan would in many
cases be inconvenient, yet in others an
improvement in the plan followed could
be made with very little trouble.
Horses should be watered regularly.
The water should be pure and fresh
and supplied at such times as will Sc.
cure the best results. IN. j. Shepherd,

SOME of the city papers, we observe,
are kicking about tho price of butter.
This disposition among consumers to
get farm products at less than the cost

ports: milk set at forty degrees for
eleven hours threw up all but A. 100 of
one per cent, while milk at forty-fve
degrees left 81 per cent of butter in
the skim-milk. Setting atfifty degrees
as compared with forty-fve degrees
showed loss from SIS to ten per cent,
and fitty-five degrees shows that the
range Of loss is from 1876 to thirty per
cent over that set at forty-five de-
