Pop Corn in Milk.

A Northern business man living in
the South has found an agreeable cure
for insomnia. 1t answered perfectly
in his case, and no longer needing it
as medicine he continues it as food.
1t is a most agreeable dish Of pop
corn. The corn is popped in the usual
wire basket, and while hot it is put in
a hot bowl. Scalding milk is poured
over it, and in two minutes it is soft
and ready to be sprinkled with sugar,
unless salt aud pepper are preferred.
The addition Of little vanilla trans
forms the juvenile favorite into del
icate hasty pudding. To keep the
corn after gathering, put it (on the
cob) in cool place; if shelled it loses
it's moisture sooner, and after awhile
will not pop. The place where other
corn is kept is best to preserve it in.
Pop corn hot served in bowls OF hot
milk is Southern rejection at card

They were two little brothers who
had toddled in from the farm, each
with a neatly packed basket of peach

ner stopped the first and asked;
"Say, bud, what's that basket OF
fruit worth ?"
"Twenty-fve cents, was the prompt
reply.
Turning to the other youngster the
old gent asked the same question and
was somewhat surprised when the lit
tie fellow answered:
HFifteen cents"
Cali right, young man, I'll trade

Is Sunstroke Epidemic ?

It may become possible to forecast
sunstroke epidemics. The weather
bureau, at Washington, is conducting
board investigation with that end in
view. Among the interesting facts
brought out by the statistics collected,
says the New York Press, are that the
old notion that sunstrokes are not apt
to occur on dry. hot days is falla,ious;
that people in Boston are more liable
to the affection than are those in New
Orleans; that sunstrokes are not due
to sudden rises Of temperature, but to
continuous hot weather, and that in
order to produce a sunstroke epidemic
the nights, as we'll as the days, must
be hot.
Experiments recently made in
France show that one is much more
liable to become sunstruck when tired
than when rested.
Like scarlet fever, sunstroke often
leaves to it's victim some permanent
malady. On the other hand, it has
been known to have acted like the gold
cure on men who had previously been
addicted to drink.
Many of our soldiers in the tropics
have been victims of sunstroke since
the war began: large number Of the
cases occurring on board the transport
vessels when the men were inordinate-
ly crowded together pending delays.
A large proportion Of the strokes oc-
Cured at night.
A military surgeon, who had studied
heat strokes in the army for twenty
years, says he has seen most victims

clouds or mist.

Of crime due to weather conditions
has been somewhat embarrassing to
the department because there was no
such purpose in view. Nevertheless,
some statistics lately collected tend to
show that the public morals really are
at a lower ebb in summer than in win
ter. The Chicago police records, COM
pared with statistics of that city S
weather bureau, show that for a period
of eight years marked increase Of crime
set in with the hot weather. They
also show that crime increases as rain
fall decreases, and that the people OF
the Windy City are most immoral when
winds are southwest and least so when
northeast.

In the Bull Creek Hills.

There is boy in Taney County, ac-
cording to a story which is making
the rounds, who has record which
perhaps few, if any, old hunters can
match. He killed a dear with mar
BILE. True, the marble was shot from
gun, but still the occurrence may be
ranked among the most unusual OF
hunting events. The lad was out in
the woods shooting, and he had ex-
hausted his supply of shot. He had
put into his muzzle-loader, single
barrel gun of the old pattern, a charge
of powder, when he discovered that
his shot pouch was empty. The boy
had in his pocket marble which he
used as ''taw" in playing the COM
mon game. The marble exactly fitted
the muzzle of the gun, and hardly
thinking what might result from ex-
pertinent, the young hunter dropped
the "taw" down on the wadding COW
ering the powder. Strange things
happened down in the Bull Greek
hills, and on his way home the boy
came upon a deer, which, at close
range. stood and challenged his aim.

ing stock leveled his gun, pulled the
trigger and brought down the game,

Barbed Wire Used in War.

Many accounts Of the operations
near Santiago and other placesin Cuba
show that barbed wire plays an i'm
portant part in the defences Of the is
land. 1t has been known ever since
the revolution began in Cuba that the
Spanish trocha or dead line was marked
with barbed wire, but until the United
States troops reached the island there
were only indistinct. ideas as to how
the wire was used and to what
extent it became an impediment to an
invading or opposing force.
It was believed by many that these
barbed wire abatis were simply wire
fences of from four to eight feet high,
but il has been found that they are
not built on the fence plan. The wire
is stretched from tree to tree at irreg-
ular heights. Sometimes strand will
be fastened to stump, and from there
to height Of eight or ten feet from
the ground. In this way hedges with
six or eight strands Of barbed wire are
run along for miles, the construction
being SO irregular that one never knows
where to look for the intividual strands.
The whole forms formidable barrier.
This style Of abetis is popular in all
southern countries, and has been used
wherever there has been war since
barbed wire became commercial COM
modify. The only thing like a barbed
wire hedge used in the civil war was a
telegraph wire hedge at the siege OF
Knoxville.
1t has been said by the Cuban and
South American leaders that the barb
ed wirei is superior to wood abatis made
from limbs of trees because the wood
can be torn to pieces by artillery fire,
and once down the forces can march
through the breech. 1t can also be
set on fire. The barbed wire became
a commercial commodity in this way,
and Thomas A. Edison has suggested
that dynamo might make the collec-
tion Of wire strands exceedingly hard
to handle. But it does not appear
that the scientific methods have been
employed by the Spaniards, and their
wire hedges were simply irregular, OBJ
stinate, and most uncomfortable things
which yielded, however, to the nippers
with which the troops were supplied.
The large manufacturers Of barbed
wire say that while great quantities OF
their product were sent to Cuba dur
ing the last two years, they have no
means of knowing how much Of it was
used in building defensive works.
They discredit the report that the
American expedition to Manila car
ried many tons Of barbed wire to be
used in building hedges similar to those
used in Cuba. They believe that much
wire has been sent there, but they say
that it will be used for purposes Of
peace and not for war.
