The barber's business in Spain is pc
culiar in that he is called upon to ply
his shears on donkeys as well as men,
for 1t is an important item in the care
of Spanish donkeys that they should be
sheared us to the back In order to
make smoother resting place for man
or pannier. So, while the master held
his animal, one of the BARRIERS piled
some enormous clacking shears and lit
tered the ground with mouse colored
hair, leaving the beasts belly fur COW
cred below a fixed line and for n small
additional price executing raised pat
tern Of star points around the neck.
The tonsorial profession is an indis-
pensable one in a country where shay
ing the whole face is generally prac-
ticed among all the humber orders,
not to mention toreros and ecclesias-
tics. But the discomfort to which the
barber's customers submit Is astonish-
ing. Instead Of being pampered, sooth-
ed, labored at with confidential re-
spectfulness and lulled into luxurious
harmony with himself, as happens In
America, man who courts the razor
in Spain has to sit upright in stiff
chair and meekly hold under his chin a

cona.c.tion In Mo-o.oo.

1t is n custom in Morocco that all the
property Of an official reverts at death
to the crown. The logic which leads to
such result is simple, for the govern
ment argues that all fortunes thus ac-
cumulated consist Of moneys Illegally
retained by the authorities. A gov
ernor when appointed is probably pos
sessed of no considerable fortune.
When he dies, he may be a million
aire. Whence came his wealth? Squeez-
ed most certainly from the tribes under
his authority and therefore amassed
only by the prerogatives Of the position
In which the sultan had placed him.
It has never struck the Moorish gov
ernaent that these great fortunes
might more honorably be returned to
the people from whom they were sto-
len. The result is entire conf1scation
to the crown, including often such pri-
vate property as his governor may
have been possessed of before his ap-
pointment and not seldom, too, of the
property of his relatives.
When the mighty fall in Morocco, the
crash brings down with them their
families, even uncles and cousins and
all connected with them, and 1t Is not
seldom that the sons Of great gov
ernors, who have been brought up in
the luxury of slaves and horses and
retinues of mounted men, have to 60
begging in the streets.-Blackwood.

The Young Man Who Wills

@sse1 A4S
1t may be true there Is "no chance
for young man." but the reflection
that the young men of today will be the
leaders in twenty years makes it certain
somebody will have "chance" then,
and the young man who goes ahead and
makes his "chance" will not then be
obliged to wait for something to turn
up" In every city, town, and hamlet,
young men are making those chances
for themselves by hard work and per-
sistly sticking to an object. In the
Cedar Rapids Republican office is q
young linotype operator, who learned
his trade with that paper beginning
three years ago. With youth, health
and strength as his capital, and q fund

Dartmoor super.tition,.

In no part of England is superstition
SO rife as In the west Of England, and
especially SO on that tract Of barren
land known as Dartmoor. One angler
who had great luck on the river Dart
discovered this last year. He made a
big catch, but it was made on Easter
Sunday. 1t consisted of Sc trout, the
largest ~ pounds and three of one
pound each, besides several Of half q
pound, a phenomenal catch for the up
per Dart. When he tried to have some
cooked at the farmhouse where he was
staying, the old moorland cook refused
to have anything to do with them,
deeming them devils fish" or "vishe,''
as she pronounced it.
Another superstition is that IL one
picks piece of broom while fishing
that one will assuredly be drowned be-
fore the day is out.
1t Is general for the moormen when
doing quiet poach when the streams
are in flood to spit on their first worm
for luck. 1t is thought unlucky to
look into the water before making a
cast. The most curious superstition is
that IL one is fishing and for some time
catches nothing some one is wishing
him Ill, and the only way to counteract
the "ill wishing" is to kneel or "sit on
your knees" as they say on Dartmoor,
and bite off the top of young bracken
fern. The fish then will be found to
bite with most peculiar and surprising
ayidity.

Waste Of Corn FODDER,

Prof. Shaw renews his plea for great
or economy upon the western farm.
OF that most palpable and useless ex-
travagance witnessed in SO out of every
100 corn fields, he ssys: "The waste of
corn fodder in the Mississippi valley is
9 grievous waste. In the aggregate the
uncut corn must amount to millions
and millions of acres. And one acre in
those states where the season is long
grows SO much food! In q recent ride
from Omaha to Kansas City, for more
than half q day the train steamed along
through corn fields, nearly all of which
were uncut. There was enough Of un-
cut corn in this one part of the
Missouri valley to feed hundreds of
thousands of cattle through all the win
ter. All this valuable food will waste,
and 1t is only fragmentary portion of
the waste that will take place all up
and down the Mississippi and many Of
Its tributaries. The day will come when

The Mayor Who Couldn't Spell Ell. -
During the several terms that Tim

ways prominent before the house. One
of his colleagues from Manhattan was
Colonel Jack Adams, who, lawyer,
while he and Mr.. Campbell were in

Tim had been in and out of Tammany
Hall several times, those changes de-
pending on whether his claims were
recognized or repudiated
A very hot political canvass found
Tim one of the stanchest adherents of
the Hall. Colonel Jack had had n fall
ing out with the powers and was Just
as strong on the other side. Tim took
this very much to heart, as his admira-
tion for his fellow congressman was
very strong. He concluded that, where
all others had failed to bring Colonel
Jack back into the fold, he CTim) could
succeed.

A Little Farce IN Taxation.

The Standarn Oil announces divi-
dend of $12,OOO,OOO 1t is one Of several
dividends in q year. OF this $4,000, 900
it is admitted that John d. Rockefeller
gets $4,O0O.OOO. 1t is all in cash. 1t is all
personal property.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who in one day pock-
cts $4, 100000 in cash, and probably has
on hand at no time less than one or two
hundred millions of personal property,
is assessed by the tax authorities at
S40O,O 900.
1t would be interesting to know how
the tax assessors reconcile themselves
to the idea that q man who collects
$4,000,O00 of dividends in one day is
worth only 100000 in personal pro-
perty. 1t makes the idea of equality
before the law, of equality in taxation,
and so on, seem rather comical, doesn't

Timely Word of Caution.

In feeding skimmllk great care
must be exercised. The most common
mistake made In feeding separator
sk'mmilk is to feed too much of 1t. A
young calf from week to two, weeks
old should not have over one to one
and half gallons day, and larger
calves two gallons day. The skim
milk should be warm and sweet. We
add to the skimmilk mixture of bran
and ground oats in equal parts by
weight. Put it into the milk for young
calves and as soon as they will take It
dry, give meal to calves in q separate
box in dry form. We also give them
some nice clover hay and keep the
calves as dry and comfortable as pos
sible.- Prof. H. 81. Dean, Ontario

Ingalls, Tribute to Grass.

Grass is the forgiveness of nature-her
constant benediction. Fields trampled
with battle, saturated with blood, torn
with cuts of cannon, grow green with
grass and carnage Is forgotten. Streets
abandoned by traffic become grown like
rural lanes, ana obliterates. Forests
decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish,
but the grass is immortal. Beleagured
by the sullen hosts of winter, it with
draws into the impregnable fortress Of
its subteranean vitality and emerges
upon the first solicitation of spring.
Sown by the winds, by wandering birds,
propagated by the subtle horticulture Of
the elements which are ministers and ser
wants, 1t often softens the rude outline
Of the world. Its tentacles hold the
world in place and prevent its solubule
compounds from washing into the sea.
II lnvades the solitudes of deserts,
climbs the inaccessible slopes and, for:
bidding pinnacles OF mountitns, sdodi.
fies climates and determines the history,
character and destiny Of nations. I'm
obtrusive and patient, 1t has immortal
yigor and aggression. Banished from
the thoroughfsre and field, it bids its
time to return, and when vigilance is
relaxed, or the dynasty perished, it 81
lently resumes the throne from which
1t had been expelled. 1t bears no
blazenry of bloom to charm the senses
with fragrance or splendor, but its
homely hue is more enchanting than
the lily or the rose. 1t yields no fruit
in earth or air, and yet, should its har-
vest fail for single year, famine would
depopulste the world,

Cause OF Talleyrand's Lameness.
The cause OF Talleyrand's lameness
has long been a matter of dispute.
Some stories have 1t that the defect
was congenital; others that it was oc-
casioned by an accident which befell

quote the very words Of our informant,
an eminently distinguished diplomat" !"
says the writer. "Talleyrand's Vienna
colleague, Baron Wessenberg, told me
years ago that his lameness was owing
to carelessness of his nurse, who laid
him down in a field while she flilted
with her sweetheart and on coming
back to her charge found some pigs
dining on the infants legs. am sure
that Wessenberg told me this as an
established fact, and am all but sure

calfoholera.

A great deal has been said and writ
ten about calf cholera. This trouble is q
comparatively new one, and is almost
always fatal unless taken early in the
attack when it appears among the
calves. Wehada Communication few
weeks ago from correspondent of this
paper who painted the umbilical cord
with carbolic acid as soon as the calves
dropped and has had no trouble since.
This, he was led to do, upon the belief
that certain kind of poisoning came
from the decaying of this cord. Germs
of disease come here and are introduc-
ed into the system of the calf, which
often cause its death. This was his
conclusion. We believe this remedy to
be worth q trial since it can do no
harm.
In talking toa veterinarian recently
about calf cholera he told us that it
was due to ptomaine poison, formed lin
the udder of the COW during the time
she is dry. He suggested that it would
be q good plan to milk out from time to
time all the cheesy, stringy deposit that
forms in the uider of the COW
when she is not giving milk. He
also recommended the practice of CIV
ing the COWS, two weeks before calving,
three-fourths of q pound of EPSON salts
and q half ounce each of powdered gen
tian and ginger, to be repeated every
five days until the calf is dropped. He
says when this practice is pursued the
calves will not be troubled with calf
cholera.
Now, these are two very plausible
reasons to us, and since we have heard
of no other reason that looks SO likely
to be the cause of this trouble we are
inclined to the belief that these are
satisfactory. They will be so until
something else is presented that seems
more plausible.
