Mend Your birds Legs.

Young chickens and other birds fire.
quently break the bones of their legs,
and if properly attended to these frac-
lures can be easily cured with very lit
tie trouble AS soon as the injury is
noticed the fracture must be carefully
cleaned and washed with warm water
and then wrapped with bit of antisep-
tic cotton. Splints are then prepared
for the fractured limb, preferably Of
split elder wood the pith of which is
taken out. These splints are fastened
to the cotton with drop of glue, and
held tightly in place by being wound
with linen thread. The bandage and
dressing are left undisturbed Tor from
three to four weeks, then the leg is
soaked in tepid water until the bandage
comes off easily. The fracture will have
completely healed in that time.
Canaries and other pet birds can be
similarly treated in case of fracture
of leg, only the elder splints ale sub
stituted by pieces of cardboard and the
bandage is left but two weeks on the
little winged patients.

Kaffr Swimming Feats.

The Kaffirs are great swimmers They
can do things in the water which other
folk would look upon with astonish.
ment. For example, Kafir boy can
ford stream shoulder high, running
as swiftly as if shot from torrent.
The way they accomplish the feat is
thus: Just before entering the water
they get huge stone, sometimes as
heavy as themselves, and with the helI
of companion place it upon the head.
A weight like this gives the boy bal.
ance, and he can keep his footing
against the heaviest stream. If he were
to drop the stone, he would be so light
that the water would sweep him off his
feet. And this is just one Of the Kafi,
tricks to accomplish things against tide

THE TRUE MANIA.
Interesting Facts About Lichen OF
the Saharan Desert.

Interesting Facts About a Lichen OF
the Saharan Desert.
According to NJ. Chastrey, the true
mama of the Scripture is the tballo-
phyte, known to botanists as Canona
esculenta and Lichen esculentus.
The nomads Of the Sahara and south
Algeria call it Ousseh- el-Ard 1t is also
found in Persia, Arabia and Mesopo-
tamia. 1t is grayish, about the size of
a small pea, ~nd farinaceous inside.
Some say the spores are brought by
wind and develop with dew. Others
think it leaves a germ or seed behind it
when it perishes. 1t should be collected
in the morning of it's appearance, be-
cause it dries in the sun and is lost in
the sand 1t can be preserved in a closed
vessel. The lichen does not cling to any
foreign body, but lies on the sand in a
layer sometimes nearly an inch thick
and can be collected easily. 1t is rather
sweet in taste.
The Arabs, whose lives it often saves,
boil it in water, and thus get gelati-
nous paste, which they serve in various
ways. To preserve the mamma they dry
1t in the shade or they wrap the paste
in skins. Analysis shows that the hchen
contains Is parts Of water, II Of nitrog-
enous matter, 20 of non heterogeneous
matter, 5 Of mineral matter, 80 Of sug-
AIRED. and amylaceous matter and 4 Of

FORESTS OF STONE.
They Exist In Various Parts of the

Old forests are apt to get into the

the most preposterous shapes. All our

In Greenland, right under the ice
fields, buried forest has been found in
which the plants were all palms and
tropical creepers, proving that once the
arctic regions We're as hot as the Indies.
In the Wash between the counties
of Lincoln and Norfolk, there is an old
forest under the sea, with stumps of
fallen oaks and elms still visible in
places when the tide is low. This was
all dry land in the days of the ancient
Britons.
Out in the desert of Arizona there is
a dead forest on the surface of lrning
rock and drifting sand, where no plant
save the cactus can now find any wa

ed, negro cook thought it would be an
excellent place for camping, so he took
an AK and delivered a mighty blow
upon the fallen trunk of big red pine.
His ak was ruined, the haft smashed
and his fingers so badly hurt that he
sat down and howled, for that tree
was changed to massive rock, which
looked as fresh as though felled but
yesterday. The whole PROSTATE forest
of big timber had been changed into
valuable and beautiful onyx, jasper
and agate. Tribune.
