cage l passed was rather pretty, and,
though her hair was dark, she had pale
blue eyes. Her long loose tresses were
everywhere clasped with little blue
brooches, and l noticed that her lips,
the end of her ears and her finger tips
were stained a dull red. She accosted

pressed me greatly. She was not beau
tiful, hardly pretty, but she had a sing
ularly winsome face, with large, fine,
gazelle-like eyes. She was a European,
a Spaniard, from n of the Balearic
Isles. Strangely, she was very fair,
with blonde hair full of a dusky gold
sheen. She has been taken to Oran, at
the extreme western end of Algeria, by
a Spanish naval officer, and there in a
few weeks had been deserted. For
some months she was a derelict in that
Ole MISUNDERSTANDING town. After
her child was born she had gone inland
to hill-set Tlemcen, the old Moorish
town that stands within sight of the
frontier of Morocco. There a rich Moor
had taken her to his harem. On his
death a few months later she had been
purchased by a Jew from Algiers, and
straightway sold to a young Turk at
Bona. The Turk, when tired of her,
disposed of his property to an Arab
sheik, who had grown tired of her in
turn and placed her in the street cage,
an article for sale. For some minutes I
stood talking to a poor imprisoned
creature, when a passing guard took
notice of the incident and whispered to
me in French to move away at once
and return to the foreign quarter. He
had passed on before I could see his
face. The next moment l deserted the
evil countenance of a Jewish-looking
Moor, behind the cage of the Oran
woman. He was her owner and he had
been listening to our conversation.
When he discovered that he had not a
purchaser to deal with he came forward
b%rusquely. DO you want her Or not?'
he demanded, sneeringly, in gutteral
Algerian French. No? Then be off

American Meats in Germany.

American meats are indeed HAVING
q hard time in the German empire
due to the fact that the German farm
ers and their friends throughout the
country take every oportunity TO pre-
vent the sale Of such meats. 1t is not
practicable for them to get a law OF
actual prohibition passed, as they are
unable to prove that American meats
are dangerous to the health of the peo-
pie, but they insist on such restrictions
pe1ng made that the sale of the meats
takes place under great difficulties and
frequently Is made so expensive that
the buyers refuse it for that reason
alone.
United States Consul Barnes OF Co.
logne says: 81 learn that, for the last
fifteen years, there were officially con-
frmed in the kingdom of Prussia 1908
cases of illness from trichinae, 207 of
which resulted in death. OF these total
numbers there could be traced to the
eating Of European meats, examined
in Germany and found to be free from
t~richinae, 1922 cases and 102 deaths.
Inc remaining cases could also be
traced to European meat, but meat
that had not been examined. In not
n OF the above cases could it be
proved that the disease resulted from
the use Of American sailed, picked or
timed meat. or of smoked sausage.
This statement holds good for all Ger
many. y = . When in 1891 the
edlct against sausage and pork prod
ucts from America was Cancelled, no
inspection Of sausage or picked pork
was required until July l, 1898. Since
tnen both products are subject to in
spection. This will result in the alb
solute exclusion of sausage and picked
pork or homeless hams from the Ger
man market. In the case of homeless
mans the cost of inspection amounts
to 1887 per 220 English pounds. Add
to this the duty, which is 1888 on 22O
pounds of meat, and it is seen that
the cost amounts to prohibition. . !"
AS regards the inspection of American
sausage, l learn that three pieces are
taken for inspection purposes from
every two pounds of sausage. By this
means the sausage is much injured, If
not entirely ruined for selling pur-
poses, inasmuch as this process not
only has a tendency to cause the meat
to become dry and hard, but the meat
bears plain evidences OF having been
inspected, which is not a very ~fiatter-
ing testimonial. as to it's value for food.
On the other hand, German sausage
is subjected to no such inspection aftei

How a Filipino Dies,

The general, in a white hat, was
marching in advance of the firing line,
when the discharge If a rife was heard
in the yard of a house mex to the
road, says John F. Bass in Harper's
Weekly. Several soldiers rushed into
the yard, but not in time to prevent
two more shots, which came whizzing
in the direction of the general. At this
moment l came to a break in the hedge
where l could see what was going on.
A young Filipino was about thirty
yards off. He was turning this way
and that like an animal at bay, thor
oughly frightened. He had a rifle in
his hand. 1t afterwards turned out
that this rifle was choked. The SOL
diers were breaking down the high
hedge to get in. Suddenly the Filipino
made a run for life. He got through
the hedge some way and dashed across
an open field. Three shots followed,
all of which took effect. The wounded
man turned, ran sideways a few PAGES,
lay down on the ground and a second
after was dead. / got a good sight of
the whole incident, and so naturally
did the Filipino stretch himself along
the ground and rest his head upon his
arm that l thought he was shamming.
An examination a minute later proved
that he was dead. There is a differ
ence between the n in which
American and Filipino soldiers die-the
American falls in a heap and dies
hard; the Filipino stretches himself
out, and when dead is always found in
some easy attitude, generally with his
head on his arms. They die the way a
wild animal dies-in just such a posi-
ton as one finds a deer or an antelope
which n has shot in the woods.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laXa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance. and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

about:

Treatment of Run Down Pastures.

Experiments have been undertaken
by Mr.. Jared Smith of the department
Of agriculture at two points in Texas
to determine the most practical and
economical of treating natural
pastures which have become largely
run down through overstocking, so as
to again cover them with native
grasses or better species from other
regions. Plats of pasture have been
disked, dragged with an ordinary har-
row and pastured alternately, allowing
grasses a short period for recovery
after each grazing, and compared with
plats grazed in the ordinary way.
During succeeding seasons experiments
will be made with sowing alfalfa,
sorghum, bokhara clover and other
forage plants directly on the sod with.
out further treatment than to keep
the stock off during the first year. In
order to be practicable, very inexpen-
sive treatment must be employed.
These treatments will be carried on at
least three years, at the end of which
time definite results are hoped for
which will enable stockmen to decide
the best method of restoring the pas
lures which are now generally depre-
ciated.

Anthrax and Black-Leg.-Reuuests
have beer received at the department
of agriculture from Cuba for a vaccine
to be applied to cattle coming into the
island which are said to be affected
with anthrax. The department has
been supplying vaccine to be used as
q preventive against black-lsg, but as
the black-leg bacillus and the anthrax
bacillus are not the same, the depart
ment is unable to grant the request.
Cases of anthrax in this country, the
department officials state, are compar-
atively rare. Backlog, on the other
hand, is quite common, but the vigor-

Glover VS.. Timothy Hay.-No dairy
man, alive to his interests, has n
business to feed timothy hay to his
dairy cows. This hay has the highest
market value and about the poorest
feeding value of any hay upon the
market. So let the horseman have the
timothy and the dairyman the clover
and rowen hays. Suppose a dairyman
has produced a lot of timothy hay
upon his own farm; there is no reason
at all why he should feed the same to
his cows. Better far to sell this tim
othy for its market value as horse hay
and buy clover hay with the proceeds
for the cows. This practice will re-
suit in a big saving to any dairyman.

Effect of Cold Shown on Michigan
Peaches.-The peach crop in Michigan
will be very small this year. About
the only counties in what is known IS
the Michigan peach belt that will have
a crop worth considering are Berrien
and Van Buren,, where the reports in
dictate that they will have respectively
rs and 7 per cent of an average crop.
The counties along the eastern side Of
the state make a much better showing
than those in the interior. There is
a marked similarity between the per-
centages, which indicate the prospect
for a crop of peaches in the various
counties, and the low temperatures
reached in the respective counties dur
ing the cold weather last February.
The temperature in the counties on
the west side of the state, with the
exception of Berrien and Van Buren,,
was much lower than the temperature
of the counties on the eastern side of
the state.-Michigan Crop Report.

Making the Horse.


Now is the time to remember that
horse a few years hence, and the kind
of a horse he is to be depends largely
upon his treatment now, says Farm,
Stock and Home. Good care, ample
food and judicious exercise are the es-
sentials at this time. BY ample food
Is not meant overlooking. Some grain
should be fed during the summer, but
not so much that the little fellow will
be indisposed to eat freely of grass or
other bulky food, for the latter is nee
essary to the proper development of his
stomach and digestive organs. Two
pounds of oats a day should be given to
the colt after weaving, and he should
De allowed to learn to eat some even
before weaving. Vary the grain feed
with barley or even corn; and if occa-
sionally ground grain in a thick slop is
given the effect will be good. But this
feeding should be moderate, and not
calculated to develop overmuch fat.
Exercise the colt should have, but that.
too, temporarily. Over-exertion would
be as bad for the colt as no exertion.
II is well, also. to- begin breaking or
educating the colt at an early age. Sc
cure its confidence by kind treatment
and gentle words, accustom it to
strange sights, to sudden noises and
other alarming things, enough to teach
II that they are not dangerous, and
SO begin to develop the mind as we'll as
the body of the horse that you want to
see command a good price later on.

Foot Of the Horse.-The foot OF a
horse Is one of the most ingenious and

ANNA structure. The hoof contains a

horn, amounting to about five hundred
and forming a complete lining to 1t.
In this are fitted as many laminae be-
longing to the coffin bone, while both
sets are elastic and adherent. The
edge of a quire of paper, inserted leaf
by leaf into another, will convey a ssf-
ficient idea of the arrangement. Thus
the weight of the animal is supported
by as many elastic springs as there are
laminae in all the feet, amounting to
about four thousand, distributed in the
o secure manner, since every
spring is acted on in an oblique direc-
tion.-EX.
