Turcomans Have villages That Are Car

Turcomans Have Villages That Are Car
ried from Place to Place.
The Turcomans, who live on the east
ern shore of the Caspian sea, carry their
village about with them when they
travel. As a tribe sets out on journey
every man packs his wooden house upon
a camel, which the animal can easily
carry--and when a spot is reached
where he and his friends intend to re-
main for any great length of time the
camels are unloaded and a village
started, which it takes about an hour
or so to build.
1t is to be remembered that the
houses are real houses, and not tents,
and that the settlement is not a camp
but village. The travelling house OF
Turcoman is a marvel of skill and in
genuity, and is really much lighter,
more portable and can be packed into
a much smaller compass than any of the
so-called portable houses that are man
ufactured and sold in some parts Of
our country.
The frame is made of strong, light
wood laths, about an inch broad by
three-quarters of an inch thick, cross
ing each other when set up in position
at right angles, about a foot apart,
and fastening at each crossing by the
thongs of rawhide, so as to be movable,
and the whole framework may be
opened or shut in the same manner
as those toys for children that con-
sist of a squad of wooden soldiers and
will expand or close at will, SO as to
form open or close columns.
One part or more made in this way,
and all inclosing a circle Is or 90 feet
across, form the skeleton If the walls
and are firmly secured in place by bands
of ropes made of hair or wool. fastened
round the end OF each rod. From the
upper ends of these rods similar rods,
bent near the wall end into something
less than a right angle, are so disposed
that the longer portions slope to the
center, and, being tied with ropes, form
the roof.
Over this is thrown n covering OF
black felt, having in the center a large
hole which answers both for window
and a chimney. Large pieces of the
same coarse black felt are wrapped
round the walls, and outside these, to
keep all tight, is bound another frame
of split reeds or canes, or of some very
light, tough wood, closely bound to-
gether with strong cords.-Pittsburgh

Getting Rid of PimpIes.

The first indication of pimples should
receive immediate attention, but not in
the way of squeezing and irritating
them, as they may develop into serious
sores, leaving deep skin pits which are
lifelong disigurements. Pimples are
diseases in light form. In this way
nature tries TO throw off bad blood.
Humors find foothold in the system as
a result of an unhygienic mode Of life,
improper diet, bad air. lack of fire.
quency in bathing, etc. \ person with
tendency 10 irritable blood should
drink a glass of cider or sour lemonade
daily and keep the system regular. An
excellent method of clearing the blood
is as follows: Chop a pound of figs into
small bits. Pour over them a tea made
from an infusion of SIENNA leaves, and
after adding half pound of sugar boil
the whole and strain. When cold, the
mixture should have the consistency of
sirup, and is in reality strip of figs.

Fight Called on.

The two gentlemen who had been
having a sidewalk discussion of the
coinage question had passed from per-
sonalities to inuendo, thence to epithet
and were just about to proceed to phys
zeal argument when a little man in
n summer coat of the style of 1883
rushed up to them and said: Excuse
me, gentlemen, but if you are going to
fight would you mind stepping over
into my back lot? IL amt very fur
away and l got my mother-in-law laid
up in the back bedroom with broken
leg and l can't stay in the same house
with her, and think ef she seen a right
good scrap it would cheer the old lady

It was not, but by the time the coinage

Our Cool.Sunm ers.

Observations on temperature made by
scientific men since 1919, have been pre-
served in the Smithsonian Institution.
They have been published from time to
time, and transmitted by its secretary
to the Agricultural Bureau, and em-
bodied in its reports. From examination
of these tables it will be seen that, the
summer heat of Arkansas is not SO great
as that Of Wisconsin and New York.
In one of the reports, the fact is
stated philosophically accounted for as
follows: For though there is absolutely
more heat in the latitude of Arkansas
during the year than in Wisconsin or
New York, yet there is more heat re-
ceived in Wisconsin and New York dur
ing the three months of midsummer
than in Arkansas at the same time" In
the same report and accompanying it,
is table showing the suns diurual in
tensity at every ten degrees oflatitude.
1t further says: ION the 18th of June,
the sun is more than 23o north of the
equator, and therefore it might be read
lily inferred that the intensity of heat
should be greater at this latitude Than
at the equator, but that it should con-
tinue toincrease beyond this even to the
pole, as indicated by this table, might
not at first appear clear. 1t will, how
ever, be understood when it is recol-
lected that though in northern lati-
tudc the obliquity of the rays is greater,
and on this account the intensity should
be less, yet the long duration of the day
is more than sufficient to compensate
for the effect and produces the result
exhibited" 1t is want of knowledge of
the above facts that gives northern
people an erroneous opinion of our eli

We Must Get Cat of the Rut.

The balance of trade is against Ark
ansas. 1t is possible the raw material
sent out Of the state annually exceeds
the amount paid for manufactured
goods, but the balance Of trade is never
theless against us. We must get out
of the rut. Too long have the people
of other states done the work which
should have been done here. Our peo-
pie are idle while the mechanics OF
northern and eastern states are en-
paged in manufacturing articles for
our use. This is what we do: We pro

A most amusing scene was witnessed OH
Sunday afternoon in Moore street, Dub
lin. where number of gamins were play
ing football with largo bladder under
their own special rules. One of the teams,
presumably disappointed in the turn out
of "man," filed the vacancy by substi-

The dog played his game with extraordi-

his head when 1t was going against his
team, and upon every occasion on which
he got possession Of it he ran with 1t in
his mouth, and despite all opposition of
his opponents carried it triumphantly
through the goal. The game lasted about
