Vegetarian crocoaile.,

A report by George Hoare, one of the
officials of tho British Central Africa
protectorate, summarized In the local
gazette, contains some curious details
of the crocodiles of Lake Chiuta. They
would seem to be strict vegetarians, for
not only have they never been known
to attack the men fishing in the lake,
but their tracks were shown by the
natives to the writer at distance of
several miles from its shores, whence
they are said to travel overland in
search Of roots. This is contrary to the
habits of all known species of croco-
diles, which are, in the first place,
purely carnivorous, and, in the second.

to turn, except in large circle. that

Hard on the Gentler sex.

There Is much of the slave and the
tyrant hidden in the nature Of woman.
Thus woman is not yet capable Of
friendship, but only nf love.
In the love Of woman is injustice and
blindness to all that she does not love.
There are two things a true man
ikes-danger and play. He likes WON.
an because she is the most dangerous Of
plAythings.
"a man should be reared for the voca-
tOn Of a warrior; q woman for the reo-
Ration Of the warrior. All else is rub
hsh.
A woman's principle Of honor is to
love more than she is loved, so as not
to be second.
In any game where love or hate is
not at stake women play Q mediocre
part.
All women behind their personal
vanity cherish an impersonal contempt
for woman.
As rule. q mother loves herself in
her son more than the son himself.
The chief danger that besets artists
Of genius lies in woman. The worship
ing woman is their ruin, Hardly one
has character enough to resist his ruin
when he finds himself treated like q
god. Man is coward in face Of the
ewig weibliche, and no one knows 1t
better than the small woman.
Women indulge in literature as they

Dr. F. F. Kennedy, Secretary of the
state board of health, in an interview
at Des Moines concerning the necessity
of keeping streets and vacant property
in cities free from weeds, said:
Everybody und erstands that hay
fever is caused by the pollen of certain
plants, which irritates the mucous
membranes of the nose. In cities the
source of this pollen is the weeds that
are allowed to grow for want of better
care of the streets and vacant places.
This pollen when it secures lodgment
in the membranes, causes q fungus
growth that makes all the trouble.
Some authorities are Of the opinion
that it is the pollen of the ragwood that
causes the trouble, but my belief is that
other weeds contribute to the trouble.
believe firmly that if weeds were cut
at the proper season, and kept from
maturing, the people in cities would be
largely saved from the discomforts of
this trouble, from which great proper
tion of them suffer more or less severe
ly at this season. We are now just at
the beginning of the hay fever, and it
will last till these weeds are dead.
"a New York physician has develop.

cavities as nearly septic as possible

RAISING a He,fer.

The lecturer of the New Hampshire
grange has been making an estimate of
how cheaply a heifer calf can be
raised until it is 16 months old, by
which time the heifer may begin to pay
her way. Assuming the calf to be
dropped the first of October, he esti.
mates the cost of feeding on skim
milk thickened with ground flsxseed
and some hay for the first five months
or 81 weeks, at $9.57. The next three
months, bringing it to the pasturing
season, costs nearly 64 cents per week
or Ss.2S. Pasture will vary with To-
cality and is reckoned extremely low
calves being often pastured for 81. so tc
$3.50 for the season. The last three
months costs $8.4S, making total fol
16 months of S28.S1. The lecturer addl
that If there be much increase of ex
pensiye foods, like haxseed, the cost OF
growing the calf will be considerably
Increased. These figures are strongly
co nfrmatory Of the belief Of many ol,
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1899-08-02

farmers that it does not pay to grow a
heifer calf into COW, and that it is
cheaper to buy the COW after all these
costs and the risk of loss have been
borne by somebody else. 1t is fact,
however, that COW grown on the farm
and always used to it will be generally
a better COW than she will if sold to he
sent to some other place. The COW has
great love for the home where she
was brought up, and instances have
been known where they have been sold
to distance Of their escaping in the
night and making their way to the
familiar barnyard where they were
reared.

Proper Packing of Butter.

1t is we'll, if one can, to have one
churning large enough to fill crock

upon working it, but if this is not pos
sible, do not pack it at all until enough
butter is at hand to fill whatever is to
be packed; that is for shipping butter.

put it into the shipping tub until
enough is at hand to fill it.-Farmers'

.Heart Trouble.n

In their way of living and way of
dying Ingersoll and Roswell p. Flower
were typical of very large class, Both
led sedentary lives. Both had great
deal of supertluous flesh. Both had
large appetites and apparently superb
digestions. Both died of "hesrt trouble" /"
Almost invariably in men of this sort
"heart trouble means simply stomach
trouble, the result of indifference to or
unbelief in the simple laws as to eating
and drinking.
The fallacy that mature knows what
she wants, and by giving man huge
appetite signifies that he must eat
hugely" numbers its victims by the
tens of thousands. Living up to this
fallacy produces what appears to be
and in some cases may be heart trouble.
Then the man with the big appetite
attributes all his sufferings from in
dulgence in food and drink not to his
"robust appetite" but to his "weak
heart" He takes care of his heart, but
continues to overload his stomach
And if any one, even his physician,
tries to warn him against indulgence Of
his "hearty, healthy appetite" he laughs
or gets angry.
1t takes little food to provide all the
nourishment the body needs. All above
that little is supertluity, and man must
constantly guard against the tendency
to increase this superfluity. When age
approaches the amount of nourishment
necessary tends to decrease, but sppe.
tite tends to increase. Hence these
untimely deaths of men in their physi.
cal and mental prime.
Always leave the table hungry. And
when you do not feel we'll do not eat al
all.

TWO SINGERS.

Two singers there were. and one was like
To a queen in her royal gown
With stately step. and pride agleam
In the deep OF her eyes 0f brown;
And ones was a face with a gentler grace
And eyes that a heart shone through
Eyes that borrowed the schoOlday tint
OF a little sunbOnnet of blue.
One was singer of great renown,
Now stirring the blood with n note,
Now charming the ear with the cultured tones
That came from her shapely throat;
And one was a singer Of songs Of love.
And she knew not the ways of art;
But she sang right on past the ear and poured
Rich melodies round the heart
Two tributes of song -and one was lost
In the deafening volley Of cheers;
And one throbbed on when the singer was gone.
And the answer was silence and tears.
All, many the day that has passed since then,
And the singers who sang are not;
But memory holds to little song.
And the other-forgot! forgot!
