rous) Idea Of the 'samurar Oknights)
was that It was effeminate to feel cold.
and such is their severe training that
they do not really feel It as we do. The

the use Of a 'hlbachi,' or brazier, in
which are a few tiny sticks Of lighted

entirely open.
"The houses, as every n knows, are
built Of thin, light wood, and the slid
ing panels which serve for doors and
windows have paper panes. They are
as apt to be open as closed during the
day. When I took my first jinrikisha
ride through the streets Of Nagasaki, I
forgot my own sufferings in my sym

as surely as the cold came endured such

"It seemed to me that the only warm

looked like bundles OF gayly colored

1t goes with western civilization. The
Koreans do it very thoroughly, the Chi

that the Japanese are still true to their

The answer to this question seems

NOVEL CURES.
uAiauS Methods Employed 20 over
come Certain Disease


Freezing, baking. illuminating, tor
turing. frightening and bruising are
among the accepted ways Of curing Ger
tain diseases, says a writer In the Phil
adelphia Times. For example, the bak-
ing cure: When one has 4 well devel-
oped rheumatism, he Is placed in a spe
cies of stove and the crystals OF uric
acid are literally melted out Of his body.
Another odd cure once tried for
rheumatism was burial in damp,
warm clay. The first rheumatic burial
took place at Menominee, Mich. The
treatment was not a success, and this
form Of cure has been given up.
The freezing cure: This was first In
troduced by a Swiss doctor, Paul Bur
deyront. He placed his patients in
sheets immersed in ice water, packing
the patient all about with crushed ice.
This treatment is today used in typhoid
fever cases.
Or the patient Is plunged into an ice
water bath. The treatment many
lives. Raging fever above 105 degrees
+. has been brought down by these
means to normal-99 2-5 d~egrees-in
less than ten minutes.
Neither Of these modes Of treatment
actually freezes me. A physician OF
Paris, NJ. Flgeau, introduced in 1890 an
ammonia vapor method, which really
froze the patient. The body was placed
In a chamber into which certain chem
icals were introduced. Ammonia gas,
by sudden evaporation, then produced
intense cold, and the blood in the body
lost most Of its heat.
NJ. Figeau's method did not meet
with success. Some Of his patients
succumbed to the drastic measures,
and the practice was abandoned.

Memory" said old Fuller, the au-
thor Of the Worthless" who himself
possessed a wonderful power of remi-
nlscence, "is the storehouse Of the
mind. wherein the treasures thereof
are kept and preserved" 1t is unques-
tlonably true that as n rule great writ
cts have had memories of more than
ordinary tenacity and range. The fac
ulty OF Renaissance feeds the fires of
the Imagination and keeps lucid and
orderly the sequence of philosophic
thought. How much Milton, for exam
pie, prOfted by his prehensile and
trustworthy memory is evident. Not
only such poems MS "Lycldas," but
paradise Lost" and Paradise Re
gained" are studded with translatlons
or paraphrases Of exquisite extracts
from the classic poets.
We are told that Pascal never forgot
anything he had seen, heard or
thought. Avlcenna could repeat by rote
the entire Koran when he was 10 years
old, and Francis Suarez had the whole
Of st. Augustine in his memory. In
three weeks Scaliger, the famous schol-
ar, committed to memory every line Of
the "Iliad" and the odyssey" Anoth-
er scholar, Justus Lipslus, offered to
repeat the Histories OF Tacltus with
out a mistake on forfeit OF his life.

BEST HOG. FOR FARMERS.
Il IL the one That Ca. Ne llraas e
Weigh ESQ or 800 Pounds In
Nine CT Ten Months.

My opinion is that the most profitable
hog for the general farmer to raise is .
hog that can be made to weigh $50 or
300 pounds as early a. possible, say at
nine to ten months Of age, says CORE
spondent of the Prairie Farmer. AS to
breeds, my choice is the Poland China.
The most favorable time for the young
pigs to arrive must be determined by
circumstances and the conveniences at
hand for caring for them. My experi-
.ence is the earlier the better, as find
it difficult to get the same growth on
q May pig at nine months as one far
rowed in March. am not prepared to
say just why this is SO, but one reason
undoubtedly is that they are just in
time to feed on the young and tender
clover and grasses. Where one has not
good warm place for the young pigs
and wishes to raise q large number it
10 probably best and much more con.
venient to have them farrowed the
last OF April or May and turn them of
at lighter weight or else keep them
through the winter, which takes moro
care and feed. Another advantage to
be gained by early farrow is that If you
are an advocate of fall pigs you can.
wean your pigs at six weeks or two
months old and breed your sows again
to farrow about September, or if you
do not wish to breed for fall litters your
sows may be fattened ready for mar.
ket at that time, when pork is usually
a better price than later. This takes
them out of the way and gives better
opportunity to care for the young
pigs.
The young pigs should be fed liberal.
~ with bone and muscle making foods.
Oats either ground or whole are an ex-
cellent feed for growth. Do not feed
corn OF other fattening feed until they
have made considerable growth, when
it is an easy matter to put on fat. II
they are pushed too fast in the first
place they will only make q lot of fat
little chunks. There are several rea-
sons for getting the pigs to market as
soon as practicable. It saves feed, as
every experienced feeder knows that
the first 200 pounds is much cheaper
than the next 200 pounds, and the 100
pounds from 300 to 400 is usually quite
expensive.

WAYS OF THE SHEEP.

ing, ~ Well az the Most Profit
able, Of Farm Animals.

The sheep is most interesting and
entertaining animal. 1t has interro-
eating eyes, careful step and q plead
ing voice.
Innocence shines in lambs face,
peace and harmlessness live in his in
telligent eyes.
Quick to discern danger, the sheep is
often unwise in his movements to
avoid it.
Proud Of her offspring, the experi-
enced eve proves her devotion and ma
ternal affection by keeping it near her
side when passing through strange
gates.
The sheep. appreciates generous at
tention and manifests his fondness Of it
by smiling at the feed basket.
There is strange affinity between
the sheep and the dog. Although the
latter sometimes dimes on an innocent
lamb, where the dog has been intelli-
gently trained he will evince most re-
markable anxiety for the welfare of his
heavy-coated friend. frequently do
they play together for hours without
mourning each others displeasure. To
do this the dog must exercise more in
telkgence than the. sheep.-Farmers'

These animals are already in use on q

How to Prevent Black Le<.

The cause of "black leg" in cattle
Is the bacillus anthracis, vegetable
organism. This bacillus establishes
the diseases known as anthrax, which
occurs in various forms, such as splenic
apoplexy, gloss anthrax, carbuncular
erysipelas, etc. The term 'black Leg
is used for the disease occurring in
young, thrifty cattle, because on skim
ming the affected quarter the flesh is
black. Remedies, as rule, fail. Your
only plan is to use preventive meas
ures. Usually when one animal is
affected others follow, unless means
to prevent further infection are used.
and as the disease is fatal as rule,
quick action is called for. Remove
all two-year-olds and under from the
pasture where disease started.-Rural
World.
