PASSING OF THE OK.
One of the Sad IIut Inevitable ResuIta
of the Quickened Life of
the Country.

Notwithstanding the ubiquity of the
bicycle and the )ardy development Of
the automobile, there is no evidence
that the horse is losing ground in our
social and domestic economy. says the
Boston Transcript On the contrary,
there has been an increase of bout 40
per cent. in hOrsehcyh since 1912 and Of
about l2 per cent. in the number Of
mules, while that dear, quaint anG
faithful servant OF man. the patient OK
has barely beld his own in the last IS
years This is perhaps one of the in
evitable results of the quickened life
Of the country. His star is in the de
scendant. While the country may be
congratulated upon the increased push
which demands greater speed and
power In our modern activities, sigh
of regret will nevertheless follow the
vanishing OK just rs it did the old stage

the patbos that attaches to the eXtinc-
ton of one OF the early families They
came into the country togt her, and
together they took pioneer part in its
development They felled and drew off
the trees. they tore up the stumps, they
scanned and mellowed the rooty soil
making It richly responsive to the
needs of man, They pulled out the
great stones thai fretted the faces OF
nature and made garden spots of the
rugged hillside and plain, The OK was

and when in those early days of eX-
pensive and adventurous ideas the old
places seemed too contracted for the
settler he bundled his family into g

oxen dragged the ponderous vain
six months journey toward the setting
sun, accomplishing a distance which we
may now be whirled between the twi-
light and dawn. browsing cheerily as
they wendell their toilsome way along,
and boarding themselves when the
time for nightly camping arrived. But

CONUN0RUMS ANSWERED.

What is smaller than a mites mouth?
What 1t puts into IT,
Why is ship never alone? Because
there is always a companion.
Why is the nose in the middle OF the
face? Because 1t is the scenter.
Why is a lark like the Bank Of Eng

When is woman like a newspaper ar

Why Is a cabbage run to seed like

When is a donkey like a lawyerP
When he is drawing out a conveyance.
What lock is that which no burglar

Why is a bad horse like bad play?
Because it can't run and won't dnw.

WOMEN AS CRIMINALS.

Women don't like women as we'll a.
hen like men.
Most of the suicides of women are
on account Of desertion.
When a man is deserted he gets an
other girl and begins life over.
A halfway decent woman will do
anything to hide a criminal who is her
lover.
1t is difficult to convict women Of
murder; the jurors are men, and they
sympathize.
Get woman in a tight place and she
will tell about a crime quicker than
a man would.
Women as criminals are very smart,
but they cannot keep crime hidden so
well as man.
If a woman Of the criminal type loves
a man she will, as a rule, do almost any
thing TO win him.
Men don't want to have women
hanged, but a jury Of women might go
to the other extreme.
When a woman is led to believe THAI
a man has given her up she is apt to
tell about his crime
II man doesn't like a man, be wants
TO have the other know It. 1t is just
the reverse between two women.
a woman is more desperate in love
affairs than in anything else. Men get
desperate about money matters.
Men kill themselves when they are
broke; women don't. The women can
stand it better and are more used to IT,
A woman has no sympathy for an
other woman who has gone wrong,
but often a man has sympathy for a
wrongdoing fellow and will help him
out.-Niews of a Veteran San Fran
cisco Detective

ELECTRICAL NOTES.

Out of every three persons struck by
lightning two recover.
Experts say the electricity in light
ming flash is not very great, but the
voltage is enormous.
The telephone subscribers of the
whole world number about 1900, 900.
The United States stands at the top
with 100000.
For fee of from two to eight cents
q message one may talk from even the
smallest of Swiss towns over a long
distance telephone system to any part
Of the county. The instruments are
kept in perfect repair and the service
Is said to be excellent.
An interesting experiment Is about
to be tried by the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad, which proposes to
light all the cars of its limited trains
between Chicago and Los Angeles with
electricity generated from the car
axles, and algo to supply the locomo
tive beadligh from the same source

PRESERVING MILK.
Something About the Use of BOracic
Acid In This Necessary
Matter.

A scientific journal states that bo-
raric acid is an excellent and harmless
preservative of milk, and that in guam
titles necessary to preservation q. e.

which 1t is desired TO prsesFss SsAMeaAe
its presence cannot be detected either

grains to the gallon will preserve the
milk from one TO thre6days, accord
ing to the care exercised in the cleans
ing of the containing vessels and the
temperature. 1t is somewhat surpris-
Ing that the innocuous substance
should have acquired an evil reputation
in the public mind. 1t is stated on good
authority that, although vague state
ments about it of an injurious nature,
have from time to time been spread by
It's opponents, not single instance of
Injury to health by boracic acid has
been substantiated.
Within the last few months DR.. q.
Liebreich, director of the royal
pharmaceutical institute, in Berlin,
said, at the instigation Of Prof. Vir-
chow, he had carried on a long series
Of experiments with boracic acid, and
had convinced himself that 1t was adj
mlrably adapted as food preservativs,
and In the quantities necessary for that
purpose It was quite harmless. He
added that neither in actual practice
nor according to authoritative liters-
ture had case been known, so far A.
he was aware. in which food prepared
or preserved with borax or boraeio
acid had exercised 9 deleterous effect
on the health of any individual.

Observation-Disclosures

When gardenplants are pinched and brown,
Because the sun itself is cold:
When streams are sullen, freighted down
With sodden drift and the red mold;
When plum trees. stripped Of leafy gown.
Toward the salt mist lean branches sere;
Then hey, my heart, and no. my heart,
The turning Of the year.
When crows fly low, and dusks are gray,
And mists lie fieecy on the hills;
When walks are white at break OF day,
And from the hedge a robin trills;
When leaf buds feel the rising play
OF springs intoxicating brew,
Then hey, my heart, and no, my heart
The year begins anew.

he skirt which, as is always the case
in mountainous districts, is not long
enough TO conceal pretty ankles-is Of
dark green or dark blue, and on their
heads the married women wear mort
becoming white muslin cap. But IN
married girls must not fall into the err
ror OF wearing these caps simply be-
cause they are so pretty and lend such
q softness to the face, for In Norway
the young girls go bareheaded, and the
cap Is as much the symbol OF matron-
hood as wedding ring.
The costume is completed by the
ermmel solo, or old silver ornaments,
which were formerly handed down az
feirlooms In the Norwegian families
hut which now are fairly common, as
the farmers and peasantry, tempted by
the high prices offered by tourists, have
sold them In large quantities. These
ornaments. which are silver or silver
gilt, are worn round the throat as neck
laces, or round the waist as belts, and
give most striking finish 10 the cos
tunes. They are easily initiated, and,
indeed, many Of those sold as real old

Money In Growing Nuts.

Nut growing is profitable, but II re
quires years to bring a nut tree to q
stage of growth where it will pay well,
hence only young farmers are induced
to devote land In that direction. Wal
nuts, chestnuts and butternuts would
improve with cultivation. In few
years walnut trees will be so scarce that
the farmer who has grove will secure
his own price therefor the timber be-
ing valuab BILE.
