a dynamo of special design, which is ac-
tuated by shaft made to reyolve by
means of friction roller pressed
against the rim of the vehicle wheel.
This roller is maintained in contact by
means of the heavy springs upon which
the casing is mounted. The incandes-
cent lampis carried on top of the casing
and is provided with a forward lens
and colored rear and side lights. sSpe-
cial stress is laid on the character of
the dynamo, the pole pieces of which
are of a novel design, asserted to give
an increased amount of electrical en-
ergy. The small diameter friction roller
will naturally be given a comparatively
high speed of rotation by contact with
the larger wheel. Light can be fur
nished when the vehicle is not in mo-
tion either by ordinary dry cells or
from storage batteries, which might be
constantly recharged by the dynamo
and the lights fed from them altogeth-

BEAR CAUGHT HIMSELF.
Climbed Into an Empty Dry Goods
Box and Was Nailed Down by
Michigan Farmer.

just outside our log barn, in the
woods of Michigan, we had a big dry
goods box with hinged cover on it.
We used to keep corn for the horses
in this box. One winters evening, aft
er getting out the corn as usual, I for
got to drop and fasten the cover. Per-
haps had done so many times before
and nothing had come of it, but at
about midnight on this night the FAM
lily were awakened by great row at
the barn. The horse was snorting and
stamping, the pig in the pen was
squeaIing, and the hens in the shed
were cackling in alright. Father
lighted the lantern and took his g1n
and went out, but for some time he
could not make out what all the row
was about. Then certain queer noises
attracted his attention to the corn
box, and he very soon discovered that
some wild beast was inside. The cover
was down, and as he. lifted it he found
a full-grown black bear inside. Be-
fore the bear could get out the cover
was slammed down and made fast. :
1t had been an easy matter for the
bear to get into the box, and it would
have been just as easy for him to get
out again if he hadn't got scared.
When the cover fell down and shut

of mine observed a pack of coyotes on
the edge of the desert manipulating a
jack rabbit. They swept across the
country in line, soon starting hare,
then formed in two parallel lines about
200 feet apart. There was a regular
plan of action, and none of the coyotes
seemed overexcited, but when the hare
was started they wheeled into columns
ike soldiers, the leading coyote rum
ming at the top of his speed. After a
few moments he dropped to the rear
and a fresh coyote took the Lead; and
this was kept up until the hare was
run down. The chase was silent one.
This method recalls the wild dogs of
Australia, or dingo.
While the coyote is invariably writ
ten down as coward, and it is true that
either singly or in packs he will not
attack man or beast larger than him-s
self, when cornered he is a vicious
fighter. I have seen one fight off
pack of grayhounds, wounding them
so that to save the dogs the hunter was
obliged to finish the animal. The coy-
ote in this case had run at least two
miles at race horse speed, and when
reached by the hunters was backed up
against a rock, swapping his jaws at
his crazed antagonist, his teeth sound
ing. Like a steel trap as they came to-
gether, and taking piece of flesh
whenever they hit the mark.
Don Coyote can be tanned, and knew
of one instance where herder kept one
that was apparently as tame as dog.
The near allies of the coyote are the
maikongs or crab-eating dogs of South
America, that hunt in packs and re-
semble the coyote in appearance.
There are several species in South
America that call to mind the coyote.
as the Guara CAMS jubatus, large,
powerful, ferocious dogwolf five feet
in length. Like the coyote, it frequents
the lowland countries, especially in
Paraguay. Prof. C. F. Holder, in Sci

LITTLE ROSE CRAIG.
GrandchiId to Be the Actress
of the Future.

Miss Ellen Terry, who is now playing
in this country with Sir Henry Irving
is trying an interesting experiment. Il
is her theory that a girl can be so edu,
Gated that she. cannot fail to succeed
as an actress; that if a parent will be
gin to teach his boy to act at the very
moment when he first initiates him
into the mysteries of the alphabet he
cannot fail to win fame and fortune or
the stage.
In other words, while she does moi
entirely disregard the old theory that
men and women are born players, just
as they are born poets, she is of the
opinion that early training is even more
important, and she is now engaged in
making practical application of hel
theory.
No one who has seen Miss Ellen Terry
play the youthful Clarisse de Maulucon
would ever imagine that she was q
grandmother, and yet such is the fact,
Moreover, unlike many actresses, Miss
Terry is not ashamed of her age. She
is proud of the fact that she has been
able to defy the ravages of the years
so well, and she openly boasts of the
little grandchild who is to be the great
actress to whom the world will pay its
honors when she, the grandmother,
shall have ceased to play her parts.
The name of the little child who is
being educated up to this ideal is Rose
Marie Craig, and she is the daughter
of Miss Terry's son, Gordon. At pres,
ent little Miss Craig is but four years
of age, but in spite of this, her training
has already commenced.
When she still lay in her cradle her
charming young grandmother dedi.
Gated her life to the stage, and her ia.
ther and mother are anxiously assist
ing Miss Terry in carrying out the ex-
pertinent. They have full confidence in
her theory. They believe that she cap
do what she says she will do, and that
their little girl will yet be the greatest
actress the world has ever seSA.
To begin with, the child shall be s.
educated that she vGll have nqSff
consciousness. To Miss Terry's mind
this is the gravest of all faults, and is
fatal to the success of man or woman
on the stage. Already she is learning
to have confidence in herself, and on
her. seventh birthday she will make her
bow to the public.
Miss Terry believes that the period
of self-consciousness begins soon after

Care of the Finger Nails.

Great attention should be paid to
keeping the nails brushed at least twice
a day, not with stiff brush, but with a
soft one, preferably a eamers hair
brush, and the skin around the lower
part should be kept down by rubbing
with a soft towel. In this way the
moons" are exposed, and these are in
dicative both OF health and beauty. The
habit of running q pointed instrument
around the nail under the flesh is not to
be advised ,sas il makes the skin tender,
and, if the material of the instrument
is a cheap metal, sometimes brings on
blood poison.s The sides of the nails
need clipping about once during the
week. If they become stained wash
them well with a pure soap, and after
rinsing off the soap brush them with
lemon iIIice

Light T1res for Winter.

Z An English rider contends that light
tires are better suited for winter than
for summer riding. He says he finds
the light road racing tires are good in
the mud Of winter, do not cut on freshly
laid stone patches, do not slip as much
as big tires and are not uncomfort-
able, because most of the time in win
ter the roads are padded" with mud.
On the other hand, the narrow, hard
tires, except the best of them, bump
distressingly on the dry roads; they
puncture easily. Vibration, it is agreed,
is the chief thing suffered from small
tires. For long distances and higher
rates of speed in summer large tires are
the best, but in the mud of winter the
speed tires lessen the exertion. The
theory is interesting if nothing else.

rhe Ftrst Te1escopic comet.

On the evening of October /, 1s47,
the Mitchells were entertaining par
ty of invited guests. But Maria
Mitchell was not to be deferred by
company from following her GUS
tom of sweeping the heavens with the
telescope every clear night. She
slipped away and ran up to the obser-
yatory. Soon afterwarl she returned
and told her father that she thought
she had seen a comet. He hurried up
to the observatory to look himself,
and declared that 1t was indeed a
comet. This. discovery entitled Miss
Mitchell to the gold medal that had
been offered some years before by the
king of Denmark to the first tliscoY-
erer of telescope comet, and it was
struck off and, forwarded to her

Brain Is Always Active.

After an experimental study of more
than five years at the psychological
laboratory of the Saltpetriere, M. Vas
chide has concluded that the brain is
alway Aactiye, and there is no such
thing as dreamless sleep. He has
watched the sleep of 36 subjects rang
ing in. age from II months to so years,
and his own observations have been
checked by those of 46 other persons.
He finds that the dreams of deep sleep
differ from the hallucinations that
come at the moment Of falling asleep
and that of waking. The superficial
sleep reflects more the sensations Of
every day, while the dreams of deep
sleep are more continuous, more logical,
farther from reality, and have more
to do with ones earlier existence.

HEALTHFUL SLEEP.
1t Cannot BE Secured Unless the
Spring of the BED Is Level and
Properly Adjusted.


u The most important element in solv-
ing the question of how shall we get
the best and most refreshing sleep is
that Of the bed. If your bed or mattress
it not right you will not get the best
and most from your hours of repose.
Every one knows that it is bad to sleep
on your back, but it is even worse if the
bed is such that your stomach is as high
as your head and your feet are lower
than both, as must be the case on too
heavily wadded mattresses. On the
other hand, if the spring is too yield
ing you will find that the heavy parts
of the body make you lie in kind of
hollow, whether you sleep on your back
or on your side. 1t is most unhealthfuI
to have your feet so high as they are in
this kind of bed, when you sleep on your
back. and if you try to sleep on your
side the spine is curved most uncom-
fortably and unhealthfully.
What then is to be done about it?
The spring of the bed must either be

making. While passing through his
plant he saw a globe on an arc light
break, and a piece of glass fell on the
carbon. 1t was only a second until il

the construction of a big vat with sides
and bottom composed of carbon, over
which he could turn a current. An ar
rangement was made to run sand
through this vat. It worked perfect

FTING WEAK HORSES.
Many a Valuable Animals Life Can
BE Saved by Pursuing the Plan
Here Outlined.

It often happens in every community,
if not on every farm, that through dis
ease or accident, horse becomes un-
able to get on its feet when down, or
stand for any time when lifted or
helped up. For animals in this condi-
ton, conyalescence is always slow,
even when the animal RECEIVERS at all.
Many bad sprains or even break that
has ruined a horse might have been
cured if this or son1asother method of
relieving the limb Of the weight of the
body had been used.
Takesa number of thicknesses of bur-
lap. or gunny sacking, as it is often
called, folded so shat 1T will be about
Is to is inches wide and about Ave feet
long. As this is to bear the weight of
the horse, there should be enough to
insure strength to bear all the strain
put upon it. Knot each end to strong
rope. If it is in stall, fasten a pulley
block to beam above, through which
run the rope, after having placed the
burlap under the horse, just back Of
his front legs. Spread the burlap to its

be distributed over larger surface.
Two men can now handle the horse
easily. If the horse is unable to stand,
lift him just high enough so that his
feet may rest firmly on the ground, and
at the same time he can rest by letting
his weight be borne by swing. He
will soon learn to let himself rest in
this way, so there win be no danger
of oyertaxing weak muscles. We saved
a valuable animal in this way after it
had been ION the lift'' for two months.

Used in place of Coins.

Chocolate is still used as money in
certain parts of the interior of South
America, as are also cocoanuts and
eggs. According to Prescott the mon
ey of the Aztecs consisted of quills full
of gold dust and bags of chocolate
grains. Before the introduction of
coined money into Greece, skewers or
spikes of iron and copper were used, six
being drachm or handful. The small,
hard shell known as the cowrie is still
used in parts of India and Africa in
place of coin. Whales teeth are used
by the Fijians, red feathers by some of
the South Sea islanders and salt in
parts of Abyssinia. In parts of India
cakes Of tea and in China pieces of silk
pass as currency. Oxen still form the
circulating medium among many of
the Zulus and Kafirs.

WAYS OF THE COYOTE,
He Is a Cunning Midnight Maraude
and His Speed Exceeds Even
That of the Fox

One Of the interesting and typica
animals of the far west is the America
wild dog, lowland wolf or coyote, Can't
latrans, it being known under thes,
and other titles. While very common
animal, it is rarely well figured in tn
books, and is made to look more fox
like than wolish. A wolf the coyot,
is, lowland form, and every travelel
through the west who has wandered
from the beaten paths or visited small
places knows it well.
"Don Coyote" is essentially a nigh
animal, and my observations of the
living animal were made chiefly in thu
saddle in full chase after him in thu
dull early morning, and can commend
his speed, which is greater than tha'
of the fox. When the sun goes down
Don Coyote comes out of his haunts
IN the foothills and wanders dowr
around or into the settlements. HI
lies in the spurs of the hills and noun
tains in southern California, as in the
San Gabriel valley, in some safe an6
inaccessible point, and surveys the
country, his vision perhaps directed
to some henroost or the home O.!
some fat turkey. At such times I have
occasionally seen him, his fur an al
most perfect protection in its resem
blance to the rocks that surrounded
him; and that he recognizes this was
shown in one instance when I rode
within 30 feet of one, pretending tt
look directly ahead, but watching hin
out of one corner of my eye. He
crouched as I approached and seemed
confident that 1 did not see him i'm
perceptibly moving, ever keeping his
head pointed toward me; and few
would have recognized in the gray rock
a coyote.
While the coyote hunts singly il
towns or villages, he runs in packs in
the open, and it is here that he demon.
strates his skill and cunning. A friend

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

4 Feed SO as to make the most out ot
the feed, as well as the most out of the
stock.
II is cheaper to kill and cure suffi-
cient meat now than to buy next spring
or summer.
AS soon as the ground freezes hard
apply more covering to the fruit and
vegetable pits.
After an animal is reasonably well
fattened the lighter feeding usually be-
comes less profitable.
A lot of stock uniform as to size, col
or, weight and form will bring better
prices than mixed lot.
1t is not the amount the stock sells
for, but the amount of profit derived
that counts to the farmer.
The team that is expected to do the
hauling during the winter should be
well shod, and should have good blan-
kets to protect them at any time they
may be left standing in the cold. IN. j.
