How the Solomon Islanders Obtain Fire.

They select n stake of dry, soft wood
about as thick as man IS wrist. From
this they slice off few chips in one
place, so as 10 make fiat surface for
rubbing. The stake is then placed on
the ground in front of TIE operator,
who sits at one end of it and holds it
firmly between his toes. He then
takes piece of hard wood, shaped like
pencil, and holding 1t with both
hands begins rubbing mp and down the
fiat surface of the stake. A groove is
soon formed in the stake and dark
colored dust, which is pushed to the
end of the groove. By and by this dust
begins to smolder. Next a piece of
dried touchwood is applied and blown
up until it glows. In this way, and
with perfectly dried wood. native will
produce fire IN something less than q
minute. But the art is not easily
learned, and n European who lived on
the island for some time says that al
though he had tried until his shoulder
ached he was never able to produce
more than smoke.-New York World.

Too Much Hay.

Farm horses almost invariably eat too
much hay. Many farmers have no regu-
lar ration for their horses, but throw
down forkful of hay almost every time
they enter the barn. AS result many
of these horses are eating from morning
till night, to the manifest disadvantage
of the haymow and the manifest disad-
vantage also of the horses, whose bodies
become distended, skins dry and coats
rough. while the digestive organs are
thrown out of gear, SO that the animals

LOUISVILLE Courier-Journal: The

ton to cover the difference between
foreign and home wages, but the
operators Of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois

consented to pay their miners on the
