THE DISCUSSED HENS.
Were Set by Their Owner on Eggs
That Could Hardly Have Yield
ed to Their Best Efforts.

a certain Wellknown real estate
dealer who lives out on Cedar avenue
is very fond of his garden and Of his
household pets, and more especially
of his chickens. This special fondness
was the means of involving him in
an Easter joke that is quite too good
to keep-although the real estate man
himself may be of the opinion that it
should be preserved as carefully as
any other family secret, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
It appears that the lady of the
household boiled a large number of
eggs in honor of the day, and for the
special delectation of the children, and
after placing them in a basket set
them away in the cellar. A little later
the man of the house suddenly took it
into his head that he would "set'' two
of his favorite b ems. So he went down
cellar to secure the eggs, and noticing
the basket, took out enough for two
settings, and carried them out to the
barn. He arranged them all right,
and when he turned away the hens
had started in on their long task. But
he happened to look back as he neared
the house, and then he noticed that the
hens were very much disturbed about
something. They were scratching and
pecking at the eggs, and clucking in
a highly offended manner. He went
back and tried to sootbe them, but
instead of being reconciIed they few
away, squawking angriIy. He went
back to the house and said: 81 don't
understand what's the matter with
those blamed hens. can't make them
set''
It was suggested to him that per-
haps they didn't work on holidays, and
just then the lady of the household
appeared from the cellar and wanted
to know who had disturbed the eggs
she had placed down there in basket.
''Eh!" cried the real estate man,
''Why, I took some eggs to set those
hens-but they won't set"
''The eggs I mean,'' said the lady,
''were boiled"
What" cried the head of the house,
''b-b-boiIedI"
And that explained the mystery OF
the insulted hens.

A PLANT THAT COUGHS.
The EntnIa, IA Tropical Vine, Sneezes
Violently When Brought in
Contac with Dust.

1t is now we'll known that the sharp
and broad distinction formerly made
between ANIMALS and plants does not
conform to the facts. The cells of
plants, like those of animals, are diff
ferentiated in functions and are
grouped to form special organs of nu-
triton, respiration, excretion-even
for the perception of light. The sensi-
tive plant (Nfimosa) has we1l-devel-
oped sense of touch.
a certain tissue in the leaves of
plants performs the functions of a
liver.
The respiration of plants is espe-
cially interesting. On the under side
of leaves and on green stems are mil
lions of microscopic mouths, each of
which is opened and closed by two
movable lips. These openings are the
examinations of passages which are
filed with wate'', vapor, air and other
gases, produced by the chemical
changes which accompany growth.
The vine called the coughing bean
| (Eutada tussiens) is a native of moist,
tropical regions.
| By accidental transportation of its
seeds it has gradually spread to much
less congenial spots, especially rail-
road entertainments, where it endures
drought very well, though its growth
is stunted. But there is one thing
which it cannot stand, and that is dust.
When the breathing pores become
choked by dust the gases accumulate
within the leaf for q time and then
are forcibly expelled in an audible
paroxysm of coughing and sneezing,
which makes the leaf tremble violent
ly. At the same time the whole plant
becomes red in the face, so to speak,
through the sinking in of the green
chlorophyn grains and the appear
ance of particles of red coloring mat
ter on the surface.
The Eutada is sometimes cultivated
as house plant. Sweeping the room
is very apt to set the poor plant
a-coughing, to the intense astonish-
ment of persons who are unfamiliar
with its peculiarities.

OUR OWN COUNTRY.

In 1890 the United States produced
I61, 754 short tons of lead.
Maps and globe covers are articles
of import into this country from Edin-
burgh, Scotland.
The United States is nearly 80 times
as great as the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland.
The United States imports from AL
geria corkwood, goat skins, sugar, mo-
lasses, marble and vegetable hair.
In 1901 there were only 100000 per
cons IN the limits of the United States
who spoke German as mother tongue.
The geographical divisions of the
United States are the north Atlantic
group, the south Atlantic group, the
north central group, the south central
group and the western group.
The United States is now patron
izing the banana plantations of the
West Indies and of Central America
to the amount OF about $4,000, 900 a
year. That is the exporting. not the
retailing value. The island of Jamaica
alone is sending TO this country over
z.ooo, 900 punches q year, which means

STRANGE MOUNTAIN TRIBE.
Discovery OF an Unknown Race of
AbOriSines in the WiIds
Of Borneo.

A strange tribe has just been dis
covered in Borneo by Dr.. a. W. Nieu-
wenhuis, the distinguished Dutch ex-
plorer. As he was travelling through
the district of Sarawak he heard from
his guides that at little distance
there was a mountain tribe which no
European or America had ever visit
ed, and straightway he went thither,
and in day or two found himself at
the headquarters of these unknown
aborigines. At once he saw that they
differed from all other natives of
Borneo, and he spent some weeks in
acquainting himself with their Curl
Gus customs and also in studying
their country, which is entirely IN
known to foreign travellers. In this
way he accumulated mass of new
material, which he intends to give to
the world at an early date in the
form OF book.
This is the second journey which
DR.. Nieuwenhuis has taken to Central
Borneo. He first went there in 1895
and explored the sources of the Ka-
puas and Mahakkam rivers, after
which he returned to Europe, where
he at once obtained an appointment
as director of the Botanical garden
at Buitenzorg. In 1899 he went again
to Borneo, intending to thoroughly
explore the interior of the country,
and 1t is claimed that in this task he
has succeeded better than any pre-
vious traveller.

cine so prepared made animals immune
from distemper in any contact.
This discovery has been recognized
as of great value in England. At the
same time DR.. Copeman has not had a
chance to prove how long this immun-
ity may last, and dog breeders all over
the world are to be brought to try the
vaccine with an eye to it's lasting eff
feet.
This discovery is interesting from a
pathological point of view from the
fact that long ago the disease was
classed as a variola and an incubation
of cowpox was proved to be Intellectual
against it.
From the time of Aristotle canine
distemper has been recognized. In
1923 it almost wiped out the dogs of
Bohemia. France suffered from it in
1740, and before the century ended
nearly every part of Europe had felt
the scourge. 1t exists in nearly every
part of Europe to-day.
Time and again in recent years I'M
successful efforts have been made to
find the germ of the distemper. Now
that it is found it does not show
marked variations from several other
well-knOwn micrococci.

IT HREE of us were detailed by the
district marshal to bring in Elmer
Lockwood for selling liquor to the
Cherokees. He was not known as
desperate man, but he had friends who
were, and we didn't know what we
might run into.
He had quite a large family living
on a little farm near Fort Smith, and
they were considered quite respect
able. When we inquired there for him,
we found that he had gone the day
before in a light wagon to the Red
stone ranch, about so miles up the riv-
er, and might not be back for several
days. We decided to go after him.
The next evening just after sun
down we sighted his wagon backed up
against the door of an adobe hut on
an abandoned ranch. We rode up and
called on him to surrender. He said
he'd be .dodgasted if he would, and
advised us not to disturb his slumbers
or some one would get badly hurt.
We retired for consultation.
His two horses were staked out in
the grass back of The house when we
came up, but now we could see their
noses at a window in a room next to
the porch. According to that he had
company, for the change had been
made while we were talking to him.
We concluded to camp near and take
turns about watching the house till
morning.
Just before daylight, while Harry
Baker was on the watch, we were
awakened by kick on the shins as he
said: Jump for your saddles. they
are getting away We couldn't see
or hear anything until we set off down
the trail on a gallop, when we could
plainly distinguish the hoof-beats of
two horses a few hundred yards be-
fore us. All we tried to do was to keep
an even pace until daylight. But very
soon we found that they had separ
Rted and one had left the trail.
Harry Baker was an athletic, conf
dent youngster, and he said he would
follow the trail if we would go after
the other man.
Hastily appointing a place down the
river on the way to Fort Smith where
we were to meet at noon, or as soon
after as possible, we separated. Har-
rvs fugitive was taking the trail di-

FREEZING BACTERIA.
Fresh Experiments Prove That Long
Continued Cold VIII Destroy Even
the LiveIiest Or Them.

Within the last year or two some in
teresting experiments have been con-
Quoted in England, with the purpose
of ascertaining the effect of extreme
cold on the vitality of various kinds of
bacteria. The tests were made with
liquid air and liquid hydrogen, by
! means of which temperatures were OBJ
tanned 800 to 400 degrees below zero.
In the majority of instances the mil
crobes withstood this amazing chill
and on thawing out exhibited signs of
life.
In these experiments, however, the
cold was applied for only very short
time, few minutes or few hours.
a different class of tests has just been
reported to a archaeological congress
by DR.. w. H. Park, of the New York
health board. He employed only ty-
phoid bacilli, but in order to make the
investigation more thorough he took
specimens which he had cultivated
from 20 different cases of disease.
Thus any inequality in their hardness
was guarded against. The particular
feature of this scheme was not the Sc
verify of the cold, but its duration.
Having prepared lot of tubes con-
tanning his culture, DR.. Park reduced
them all to a temperature of % de-
grees Fahrenheit, only little below
freezing, and kept them there. Then
at intervals he would remove a tube
and examine the bacilli.
At the end of 31s days he found 40
per cent. of the microbes in the first
tube alive. In a week all but IA per
cent. were dead in another. In two
weeks only 7Ha per cent. survived, in
| three, OF; in five, oil, and in seven,
90. The percentage diminished as
| time went on, until in % weeks, or
fully five months, all of the baciui
were dead. The tube opened after 10
weeks was the last to show any life
left. It thus appears that long WIN
ter will usually kill typhoid bacilli,
even if it is not e severe one.

Answering the Challenge.

A man may look upon an extraor.
binary difficulty in his path as sig
nal warning him to turn back, or,
on the other hand, as call to ex-
traordinary effort. One man will
halt and waver at the edge of tbs
ditch; another will take it with u
rush. One will give up a Sunday
school class of restless boys because
they have been too much for him;
another will resolutely set himself
to win those boys, and no change IL
himself is too radical, no labor to:s
severe, for him in so doing. Thu
world needs men who take hold hard,
and persistently work out dificuls
problems at any cost to themselves.
To such men a difficulty is a cha1.

THE SONGS OF LONG AGO.

I'm weary of the songs of strife,
The chant of woe, the dirge of death;
Come, let's get back to love and life,
The sweetness of the roses BREATH
Let him whose greed enslaves him bear
His heavy troubles as he may
And, shrinking from assassins, fare
Along his own mistaken way
But some one watts a song to me
From where the sweet, soft breezes blow
OF happy toilers in the tree
Who sing sweet songs of long ago.
I'm weary of the cate and spite,
The jealous carping and the threats;
Come, letus look across the height
o To where the sun in splendor sets,
Remembering that it will rise
Again tomorrow to display
New glories unto hopeful eyes,
To light the faithful on their way!
Let's cease awhile the songs of war,
The dirge of death, the chant of woe,
And thank the Lords glad songsters for
Their happy songs of long ago.
