Put a Light On the steam Roll

Editor Morning News: Would it not
just be the thing to put light on each
end of the county locomotive? AS it is
now, you can meet it most any time of
night, and never known it until you are
upon it. Then what are you to do with
horse that will not even pass in the day
time uness you use the whip. Now
it seems to me that a passenger or freight
train is compelled to have light and not
allowed to run backward. Why not so
with the county road? Please call atten-
ton to the proper parties through your

Or,Uin of the Horse.

DR. Lydekker, the English naturalist,
says that while the ordinary European
hreeds of horses may have been derived
from those which were first subjugated
NV the stone-implement makers OF
western Europe, unnumbered centur-
les ago, it is probable that thorough
bred" horses are of Eastern origin. He
thinks that Turkestan was their orig
inal home, and that the ancient Turco-
mans and Mongols were the first Ash
attic tribes to make the wild horse the
servant and friend Of man. Horses,
believed by some authorities to belong
To a truly wild race-that is to say,
whose ancestors were never domesti-
cated-still inhabit the central Asian
steppes. From Turkestan, according
TO DR.. Lydekker, they spread to Hin
dustan, Persia, Assyria, Egypt and
Arabia. In the last-named country
they became so indispensable that many
have supposed Arabia to be the orig
inal home of the horse. The interest
ing fact is pointed out that our North
American Indians, to whom the horse
was unknown before the advent OF
white men. have shown the same skill
and adaptabllity in mastering then
that the Arabs exhibited, so that, al
DIR. Lydekker remarks: Had we no
historic evidence to the contrary, ther'
Is no saying but that the original sub

Farmers in Japan.

Japan Is one vast garden, and as you
look over the fields you can imagine
that they are covered with toy farms
where the children are playing with
the laws of nature and raising samples
of different kinds of vegetables and
grains. Everything is on diminutive
scale, and the work is as fine and ac-
curate as that applied to a Cloisonne
vase. What would an Illinois or an
Iowa farmer think Of planting his corn,
wheat, oats and barley in punches and
then, when 1t is three or four inches
high, transplanting every spear of it
In rows about as far apart as you can
stretch your fingers? \ japanese far
mer weeds his wheat fields just as a
Connecticut farmer weeds his onion
bed. and cultivates his potatoes and
barley with as much care as Long
Island farmer bestows on his aspara
gus and mushrooms or his flowers.

he was the Rev. Mr., Stephens, on his

The sleep of Butterflies.

The same observer has watched the
sleep Of butterflies, and thinks that
some Of them are rendered secure from
their enemies at night by their peculiar
colors and markings. Thus large red
and brown butterflies, with silvery
spots on the under side Of their wings,
which are conspicuous by day, can
hardly be distinguished at night when
sleeping on goldenrods and other flow
ers that form their favorite resorts. At
such times their bright wing colors
blend with the hues of the flowers,
while the silvery spots "glisten like the

Most of the worlds supply of plati-
mum comes from the southern part OF
the Ural Mountains in Russia. Accord
ing to the report of the Russian minis
try of finance, the increased demand
for the metal in 1895 raised the price
for the raw material to nearly $500 a
pound, and yet only 9,700 pounds OF 1t
were produced during the year. In fact,
the production fell off largely from that
of the preceding year. Platinum is also
found in California, in South America
and in Borneo. 1t was first heard or IN

Longevity and sleeping By Compass

A Magdeburg physician according to
the Lyon Medical, who died recently at
tie age Of 100, attributed his remark
able longevity to his constant practice
of sleeping with his head to the north
and his feet to the south. He consider
ed this position most favorable to the
magnetic currents which run constant
" toward the north pole, and increase
the energy of the vital principle. A
correspondent Of DR.. Felix Bremond
found that kind of nervous irrita-
ton to which he was subject ceased
when he placed the head of his bed a
little east Of north, This position Of
the head of the bed brought him more
sound and peaceful slumber, and with
such regularity that when he wished
to rise earlier than usual in the morn
ing, all he had to do was to change the
direction of the head of his bed, when
his sleep became lighter and Of shorter
| duration. DR.. Bremond himself, how
ever. found that the direction of his
body made no difference to the sound
ness of his slumbers, provided he wen
