CaUAeA For Suicide In Clinn

So far as l have been able to asccr-
tain, the causes Of suicide in China are
not, as in Europe, profound mclan-
cholia, heavy losses or disappointment
in love, but chiefly revenge and the de-
sire to infiict serious injury on another.
Suicide enables a Chinese to take a
truly terrible revenge, for he believes
that his spirit will Indignantly haunt
and injure the living, and the desire to
save suicides life arises in most cases
not from humanity. but from the hope
of averting such direful catastrophe.
If Il master offends his servant or
makes him ''lose face" or shopkecper
his assistant or apprentice. the surest
revenge is to die on the premises, for it
not only involves the power of haunt
ing and Of inflicting daily injuries, but
renders it necessary that the body
should lie where death occurs until an
official inquiry is made, which brings
into the house the scandal and turmoil
of a visit from mandarin with a body
of officials and retaincrs.
1t is quite common for man or wo-
man to walk into the courtyard Of a
person against whom he or she has a
grudge and take fatal dose of opium
there to insure these desirable results.

Tile Hair In the Wafch.

Euperfluous hirsute adOrnments are
unpopular with women, especially
When they take the form of inclpient
mustaches. Men, as n rule, are not so
sensitive, but hairy individual, who
must have been n lincal descendant of
Esau. inasmuch as lie actually had
whiskers growing out of his ears. had
rather narrowing experience in Il
fashionable Chestnut street jewelry
store. He wanted to buy watch, the
best In the place. and very elaborate
timepiece was shown to him by the
salesman. 1t was said to be an cX-
cellent timekeeper. 1--WE have had it
In stock for quite awhile" explained
the salesman, "and can guarantee that
1t won't vary a fraction of second.
We've never allowed it to run down."
The prospective purchaser who look
ed like a prosperous mine owner from
the west, had been examining the
works and casually placed the watch to
his car. "Never run down. hey?' he
calculated. "Why, it's stopped now"
"Thats very strange" said the sales
man.
The man again placed the watch to
his ear to make sure, and then the
truth became apparent. The hair which
protruded from his ear had intruded
into the works and stopped the delicate
mechanism. The salesman didn't like
to explain matters, and his delcacy
cost him the sale of the watch.-Phila-

A Cork Safe.

"The most curious safe ever saw"
said travelling man, was Il cork one,
and it was made by an ingenious Dutch
fdence man named DR.. Baggs, who OPP
Grated in Denver, salt Lake City and
Frisco. The safe was a folding affair,
made of paper on n backing of sheet
cork, and, when it was opened up. was
six feet high and looked exactly like
the real thing. AS it was always placed
in corner, it had only two sides.
but every visible detail was complete
combination knob. hinges, lettering.
bolt heads and all. When folded. it
could be carried in an ordinary dress
suit case. Baggs used the thing in n
fake lottery office which was of itself Il
marvel Of trick furnishing.
"When the victim entered the place
it looked like an ordinary business cs-
Enlistment, with desks, ratings, maps
on the walls. safe in the corner and
several clerks at work on books. The
instant he left roll top desk was
opened UP into bed, the railing was
folded together and slipped into Il clos
ct, Il table was transformed into a
washstand, cabinet turned into IL bu-
reau, the safe was put away in its case,
the curtains were pulled down, and the
room was to all appearances Il simple
sleeping apartment. BY that means
the poor dupe was never able to find
the place where he had been bunkocd."

Ration and Method of Feeding
for Milk.

The best ration for milk is the one
that Is the nearest to what the indi-
vidual COW to which it is fed requires.
Some cows are able to produce an
abundant flow OF milk on a much
wider ration than others. believe
that the individuality of the COW
should govern to some extent the ra-
ton which she should have to pro-
duce the best results at the pail.
Then the ration that will give the
largest amount of milk is not always
the most economical. All authorities
agree that to do her best the COW in
full flow of milk should have not less
than three pounds of dry matter to
each live cwt. The ration should con-
tain of protein , to 2.5 per cent, of
carbohydrates II to Is per cent, and
of fat 0.5 to 0.s per cent, according to
size of COW and time she has been
MIXED. Now if the coarse fodder
which one wishes to feed is hay and
straw or dried corn fodder, the grain
ration must be different than if ensi.
lage and clover compose the roughage.
In view of the foregoing we can
have no iron clad rules for feeding.
Some years we have ensilage in album
dance with little or no clover, and
other years clover, oat and pea hay,
besides timothy and dried corn fodder.
At present we are feeding No. l tim
othy three times per day. The cows
that have had calves recently get in
addition 8 lbs. each Of the following:
Bran, 6 lbs; Pope's gluten meal, 2
lbs. old process linseed meal, l ID.

tender.
"And whisky and soda?"
zone franc, sir. All drinks are the

The Englishman sat down and, to his
establishment, found that the place
was run on American lines and that
the customers helped themselves at
their own discretion. He punished
that bottle of whisky till it was near
" empty. AS he went out he paid
down his franc, but the manager call
ed him back and said, "You have for
gotten your change"

"That is so, sir" was the reply.

Total 25.O5 2.52 11.16 .73
1t will be seen that this ration is
deficient in carbohydrates, but that
does not trouble us, as the cows have
the hay ad libitum, being given all
they will clean up in an hour. The
oil meal is added to the ration more
for the influence 1T has on the health
of the COW than for it's milk producing
qualities. 1t being laxative, it
keeps the bowels loose and gives the
hair sleek look which is procured by
no other one feed. If enSilage was
fed the oil meal would not be neceS-
sary, as the enslage produces the
same result as the laxative properties
of the oil meal.
AS to the method of feeding, that
is matter of no great consequence,
so long as it is done regularly. 1t is
like going to market with load of
butter. The dealer does not ask
which road you went over to get there
but asks to see the butter. At one
time | thought that the method OF
feeding had some influence on the re-
suits obtained. but after attending
dairymen's meetings and farmers in
stitutes for the past six or eight years
and hearing Smith tell of feeding but
twice and watering but once per day
and making $50 or more pounds or
butter per COW per year, and Jones,
who feeds six times per day, with
water. continually before his COWS,
with exactly the same results, | think
that it does not matter by what
method she gets 1T, so long as she has
it regularly every day.
Our own method of feeding is as
follows: Feed hay as soon as milking
is done IN the morning, water at a.
M. put in the stable at once and feed
one-half the grain ration fed, hay at
| D. m. watered again at 4 P. m. and
then give balance of grain ration,
milk at $50 p. m. and then feed hay,
when they are left for the night.
