An Intelligent Cow.

Colonel /. D. Mcdonald of Columbia
City, Ind, tells good story of ami
NAL intelligence. He had bought lot
OF stock, including COW and her calf,
which he was driving home. The cows
affection for its offspring had attracted
attention more than once.
Az length river was reached, which,
being unbridged, the cattle had to ford.
The water was deep, and as the cattle
plunged in they were swept off their
feet, the mother COW among the rest.
The calf meantime was taken by the
current several rods down stream, and
when the poor COW regained her footing
and discerned this her distress was ap-
parent. Instead of making for the oppo-
site shore, as the other animals had
done, she swan down the stream below
her calf. The current drove the young
creature against the protecting bulk Of
the mother.
The COW, satisfied at this state of af-
fairs, started for the shore, the calf swim
ming alongside of her. About midway
Of the river the swift current, striking
the calf in the fore quarter, swept it be-
hind the COW, and again it foundered
down stream.
Once more the mother went to the
rescue. She had to swim around to the
other side of the calf, and, this done, she
had to steady herself in the stream until
the calf was against her side. Her ef-
forts were this time successful, and COW
and calf swan safely to shore.-Indian-
apolis News.

One of the most interesting processes
now going on is the conversion Of water
into light, heat and power. The great
obstacle in the way of cheap electric
lights and power has been the cost of
coal and other fuel. But all over the
northwest water is being utilized for
running electric plants. An electrician
who has recently been looking over Mon
tana and the northwestern states finds
that everywhere water powers are being
taken up and utilized to create electric
ity. So cheap is this process that the
use of coal is out of the question. No
light and power can be created so cheap
" as that where a mountain stream has
been made to do the work. What was
an experiment a short time ago has now
become one Of the most remarkable IN
dustrial developments of the time.-Ex-

A Pneumatic Coal Chute.

"The man who goes about with a
big shovel and big basket over his
shoulder looking for job at putting in
coal finds less and less to do said cit
izen. 1.-THE coal wagons which have
bodies that may be elevated and adjusted
at almost any angle, and which are pro-
vided with extension chutes through
which the coal is made to run straight
from the wagon into the coal hole, appear
to be multiplying. But of course coal
wont run up hill, and when it is to be
used above the first story it still has to
be carried up stairs. But perhaps the
next thing will be telescope tube with
faring lower end big enough to fit
right over the top of coal wagon and
provided at its upper end with an ap-
paratus to exhaust the air. Then when
the tube is in the window and you're all

Early Races In Russia.

Russia is so vast and includes SO many
races that it might seem well nigh hope
less to determine its most ancient inhab-
itants. Nevertheless this is problem at
which Professor Anatola Bogdanov has
been laboring for the past 20 years, and
which he attempts to solve in a paper
read before the congress of anthropolo-
gists at Moscow. The kurgans or tu-
null of central Russia contain the relics
of a tall, strong, dolichocephalic race.
with light brown hair, as well as a short,
smaller bracycephalic race, with dark
brown hair. The blond type preponder-
ates in the southwestern districts, and
the brunette in the northwestern. Bogda-
nov considers the long heads to have been
Slavs. and that the modern Russians OF
those parts are an amalgam of the slavs
with the broader headed race, which Is
probably Mongoloid. -Amerlcan Regis

The use of the Adjective "Old. "

applied by college graduates and stu
dents to their alma mater is always
"old.n 1t is 'old Harvard, "old Yale.
"old Dartmouth" and one enthusiastic
admirer and attendant at the University
of Chicago has been heard to refer 10
certain rules of that institution as "a
way we have at old Chicago There Is
certainly an affection conveyed by the
word "old" that no other adjective car,
ries. and like the terms of address 'oiu
man" or "old boy" it signifies that low
ing familiarity with which every one re

WON an to Woman.

The attitude women assume toward
strange women was amusingly brought
out in New York court few days ago
A female witness in case where a
young man was accused of slashing a
young woman's dress while riding in the
elevated was asked by one of the law
yers, "Do you mean to say, madam, that
you saw all those tears or cuts, which
ever you please, in lady's skirt and yet
hadn't the polteness to tell her of iti''
II do" said the witness. II have often
told women when their dress was out of
order in the street, but l always got
snubbed for my pains, and l made up
my mind not to do it any more. If a man
should tell woman that her dress was
out of order, she would be very apt to
thank him, but she never thanks wom-
an."-San Francisco Argonaut.

THE GENUIsE AND THE SHAM.

Every good thing has its host of initial
ors; every genuine article its counterfeits.
The imitators always choose the most val
liable and popular article TO counterfeit, SO
that when they claim their sham to be
equal, or as good, or the same as "So-and
Sos" the public may depend upon it that
"So-and-So's" article is the best Of the
kind The sham proves the genuine merit
Of the thing i copies, and never has this
been better illustrated than by the imita.
tions Of ALLcocK's Porous PLAsrKRs.
ALLcocK's Porous PLASTER is the stand
ard of excellence the world over, and it,
imitators in their cry that theirs is " u
good as ALLcoCK's" are only emphasizing
this fact and admitting .ALLcocK's" to be
the acme of perfection. which it is Their
highest ambition to initiate. The differ.
ence between the genuine and these imita
tons, which copy only general appearance
is as wide as that between copper and gold
The only safe way for purchasers is te
always insist upon having ALLcocK's PoR

plasters ever produced.

Southern soil seems to possess the nee
essary substances for the growth of all
species Of trees and plants natural to
warm climates. Substances that con-
tribute to the nutrition Of plants will act
az food for trees, and, as we see the phys
ical properties of the trees themselves,
leaves and other matter have direct
share in their nutrition. There are some
soils so hard and clayey that the roots of
trees cannot spread, and thus they fail
to reach the substances which they re-
uuire for food. Hence the tree becomes
stunted in growth and is soon dead, fall
ing to the ground to become, through its
ashes, nutrition for some other Trailer
plant which can subsist in such soil.

" used by dentists. The name of the

considerable time to have effect on pa

Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island
.dvices 20 TO show that the lobster catch
for the season, which closed Aug. /, was
tho most successful of any season for the
mast ten or twelve years. Especially is
HI the case with the factories border
ina nm the Northumberland straits. A
rantleman interested in lobster canning
makes the statement that these factories
will on the whole average net profit OF
about $4,000 each Taking into con-
alteration the fact that the season for
catching Holsters is by law restricted to
June and July. this profit must be re-
parded as enormous.
The benefit of the short season is now
becoming apparent in the increased
catch which is almost double that of
nrevious years, while the Holsters are
lust the right size for canning purposes.
Such has been the rapid spread OF the
canneries that every available site along
the shores of the Straits of Northumber-
land has been taken up, and parties de-
drous of investing money in the business
are withheld by the difficulty Of procur-
ing a favorable cove or beach.
A good idea of the profits of lobster
canning may be gathered from the fact
that while pound tin is put up ready
for shipment at cost of about nine
cents they are taken from the canneries
BY wholesale dealers who pay from
seventeen to twenty cents per tin. An
American firm owning fourteen factories
ships its entire product to the French
and English market direct. and all its
tins are labeled "Machias Bay HOLSTERS,

them soft, pliable and hardy. A very
good recipe for this is an ounce of bees

Of an ounce of Burgundy pitch, melted
