on cherry trees. The grower who
thinks that ants are making trouble for
him does not observe very closely, or
he would notice that the ants are not
only harmless, but do much good. The
real enemy is the minute aphis, which
frequently attacks the young growth
on cherry trees. sucking the sap
through the easily pierced bark. As
these insects are about the same color
as the bark. they are readily overlook

the corn crop Of this country can be
largely increased as the demand may

becoE.e more profitable Scientists say
th.4t 40 per cent of the feeding value
of the corn crop is In the stalks when
properly cared for. yet where the most
corn has ben grown this part of the
crop has often been wasted. or utilized
only In a careless fashion that saved

ON WHICH SIDE TO SIT.
A Question VIII In the Horseiess Car
riage Suggests,

The question often arises, on which
side ought the driver of an automobile
sit? In England that question is an
swered by saying the right-hand side is
the proper place. The reason for this
is, that in England carriages when
meeting turn to the left and pass each
other to the right. A seat on the right
hand side of the carriage then enables
the driver 10 see the space between
the carriages ana 10 govern himself ac-
cordingIy. His seat on that side and
the turning TO the left arose from the
necessities of a driver who handles
horses and must have his right hand
free, and at the same time be In posi-
ton where he can see between the
passing vehicles. The next question
that arises is in regard to the position
of the driver in America and our meth
DDS of turning out. Here we keep to
the right instead of TO the left in meet
ing vehicles and pass vehicles going in
the same direction TO the left, revers-
ing the English and continental rule
This custom has puzzled foreigners
as well as Americans. 1t arose from the
fact that during colonial times the OK
team was in almost universal use. The
driver in those cases almost invariably
walked, and always upon the near"
or left-hand side in order to have his
goad in his right hand over his team.
In meeting a vehicle. turning to the
right was a necessity. Otherwise it
would have been impossible TO see
whether the hubs of the wheels would
clear each other. AS the OK team was
the universal vehicle during the earlier
years of the colonies, the American
rule of the road was thus established
1t is now too late to change it, but
with an automobile there is no reason
why the driver should sit on the right
hand side. He no longer needs to have
his right hand free for the whip; in
fact his right hand is needed for levers
which ought to be placed near the cen
ter of the carriage. Some manufacture
ers recognizing this fact are placing the
drivers ON the left-hand side, where he
belongs, and where he will be in the
best possible position to avoid acct
dents when meeting with carriages

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it--heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or aporlexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to adj
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen

Thrill with Pain.
Il told you the other day about the
Sultan of Zanzibar's clocks" said
Robert Crawford yesterday, ..but there
WY another thing that heard of while
in that country which is not without
interest. The sultaG used TO take me
rornd to show me lhe place and of
what its trade consisted. 1t is the
greatest cIoye-raising country in the
world. and as such conveys comfort
and courage TO out-betwecc- the-aets
theater-goers the world over Other
spices and cocoanut rope are also inn
portant features Of their export trade.
But in addition to the sale OF that
which they raise within their own bor-
ders, their revenues are largely in
creased by the trade in ivory. Zanzi-
bar is the greatest market for South
African ivory which is brought there
in large quantities from the interior.
The ivory is placed in large ware
houses from which it is either sold at
once or else held therein for q better
market The man in charge of these
warehouses was very interesting
character-van expert in ivory. He told
me many curious things about it, and
among others propounded the following
theory as an explanation of why ele-
plants go mad and occasionally run
amuek In the warehouse were pair
of magnificent tusks, measuring fully
fourteen feet from tip 10 tip, which in
life must have been carried by verb
table Goliah aT.sng elephants. The
expert. in showing me those tusks,
pointed out the fact that while one was
complete ard hawless, the other was
broken off at the point and showed
deep scratches and abrasions through
out its length. Now said he, If you
viii look near the base you will find a
hole made by decay that had struck in
to the nerves and given that elephant
toothache, and think what tooth
ache of toothaches fourteen-foot
tooth must have held. In his effort to
relieve this pain the elephant rubbed
his tusk against rocks and trees and
drove it into the earth, which multi
ated II in the manner you see here. |
have frequently come across places
where an elephant has ripped up great
spaces in the forest and torn down the
trees. and | am positive that toothache
was the cause Of this frenzy. An ele-
phaat in :; circus going suddenly mad
E, and killing BIS keeper is not an uncom-
mon thing. but I'll wager that in nine
cases out of ten if they would properly
