SELF-DEFENSE WITH A CANE.
With a Hooked Stick When Attack
ed By a Man Armed With An Ordi-
nary Straight Stick.

A stick with a curved handle. form
ing a roomy crook, although hardly so
effective as a stick with a heavy knob
on top for striking purposes, is a most
serviceable Weapon in the hands OF an
expert in the art Of stick-play.
Having guarded a blow with a hook
ed stick. it is a comparatively simple
matter to hook an assistant in such
a way that he is easily pulled off his
balance. With a little practice it be-
comes easy to make sure of hooking a
man firmly by the neck or leg.
Suppose, o instance, hat a man
carrying a crooked stick is suddenly
attacked by an assailant armed with
an ordinary straight stick. Here is a
very pretty way to overthrow the as
sailant.
In the first place, the man with the
hooked stick should hold his hand and
stick high up, n well on one side, S
as not to run any risk of being hit on
the fingers.
By doing this he purposely exposes
his head tt attack. Knowing. there
fore, hat his opponent is sure to strike
at his head, he is prepared for a quick
guard. The attacker delivers his blow
and it is received upon the stick: but
before he has time to recover himself,
and get into a position of defence. the
other suddenly ducks and hooks him
by the foot, on the outer side of the
ankle. bringing him to the ground by
pulling his legs apart.
The assailant is then at the mercy
of the man he has attacked, who can
choose any part of his body on which
to administer punishment.

The coffee growing industry in trop-
lea Africa is increasing. The seed
was introduced into that country about
five years by some English mis-
sionaries with the object of ascertain
ing whether the resources of Africa
were favorable to the culture Of the
bean. The ground appears to be pecul-
iarly adapted to the industry, as 100
ton of coffee were exported from
Uganda alone last a The result of
this years production will be even

BIG PROFIT IN CHERRIES.
Dark Varieties the Money Makers

Dark varieties the Money Makers,
With Windsor In the Lea1.
The best sweet cherries l have seen
south of central New York are along
the fences where the cultivator has not
disturbed them. In northern Delaware
there are several famous sweet cher
riss in the fence rows and corners, but
nearly all Of the orchards that | have
seen in which modern cultivation meth
DDS are attempted have been failures.
In central and eastern New York the
sweet cherry has to be kept on medium
thin land. My father has young or
chard that is booming on land that
would be considered poor for farming
purposes, but the trees respond here to
tillage.
The sour cherries will probably do
best under high culture. While they
grow well along the fences, they need
more moisture than the sweet varieties
and pay well under the best treatment.
The dark kinds are the money max
ers. Black Tartarian, Black Eagle,
Windsor and Dikeman are the leading
sorts at home. There is big money in
Windsor, and II Dikeman turns out as
we expect 1t there ought to be more in
It,
Sometimes the sweet cherry needs
lime and dies for want Of II. Some
kinds need 1t more than others. Tarta-
rian, believe, rs one OF them. Thus
writes Professor G. II. Powell to Rural
New Yorker.

GOOD ROADS ARGUMENT.
Free Mail Delivery 40 Cease WAsss
Hi0Aways Are Neglected.

Highways Are Neglected.
The postofice department la trying
TO use the rural free delivery expert
ment as an argument in favor Of good
roads, and where the experiment has
failed to improve the bad roads along
the routes the service will have to be
abandoned.
The department has gone over the
records to see how many routes were
interrupted by the condition Of the
roads last spring and has sent out,
proved to prevent similar interruption
this spring those routes will have to
be abandoned. The records show that
a great many routes were interrupted
from one to seven days last spring.
There were 40 Of these routes In
Iowa, II in Illinois, 10 In Wisconsin
and less number in other western and
southern states. The record against
Iowa is not so bad as 1t seems because
that state has a great many more rural
free delivery routes than any other
state, and, like Illinois, the state suf.
fers at times from bad roads which
cannot be improved.
The department admits that Il Will
have to give some consideration to the
difficulty In building roads in Iowa and
Illinois, where the depth Of the soil
makes 1t almost impossible to con-
struct roads that will be passable at all
seasons OF the year. 1t Is admitted
that there are routes In Illinois and
Iowa where everything possible has
been done TO make good roads. and
they have excellent roads for the great.
er part Of the year, but during the
spring freshets these may be impass-
able for few days.
The order is meant to apply to those
routes where the people are Indifferent
to the condition Of the roads and have
through neglect The inspectors will
report on the routes that are interrupt
ed this spring, and where the inter
ruption is due to neglect OF the roads
they will be abandoned. Where the
interruption Is due to conditions which
cannot be overcome the department
will make allowances and continue the
service.
But the department regards rural
1ree delivery as an argument and an
inducement to build good roads, and
wherever the people are Indifferent to
the advantages OF the service the de-
partment holds that the experiment Is
q failure. The demand for rural free
delivery is greater than the department
can meet with the appropriation by
congress, and 1t will favor those COM
munities which show most apprecia-
ton by building roads over which the
government can send malls with the
least possible interruption.

II was not 30 very long ago thas
the ideal woman was believed to be
the embodiment Of unseifshness-
strong. gentle. sweet most loyable.
most faithful, but always displaying
these gracious qualities in devoted ef-
forts to enhance the glory or the good
ness Of the general well being OF some
other human creature, generally some

moved from perfection the brighter
shons the virtue Of the woman's de-
yotion UnselAshness was and always
viii bs the dominant characteristic Of
the ideal woman; but long before Cor

her time, unselfshAess took the form
OF selhshness, which I'm quite, another

admirable or good
To-day NO one can look intelligently
mt she condition of woman. especially
In America, aud not see that indiffer
ence to self As an end has almost

This change Ia revealing itself at

when IL would have been thought un-

any business or pursuit which was fol
lowed by men This was not because
q woman was In point Of fact less
capable intellectually then than now.
but because the bounds Of convention
were so narrow and 80 rigid that un-
less she unsexed herself she could not
pass them. But now has come finer
sense OF fitness which says, Better
let m woman work as man works
than steal mans strength to support
a woman's useless idleness." AS q
result of this nobler Ideal the occupa-
tions OF women have widened incredi-
bly, since those days when they had
only three businesses open to them

THE HONEYBEE.
feS Curious Jaws and It's Wonderful
Little Tongue.

- ~& ~ ~A ~AN AAh w
Little Tongue.
With the closest scrutiny 1t becomes
evident that the bee does not, like
other creatures, house it's tongue in its
mouth. but neatly folds it back beneath
its head. Bumblebees, when disturb
their jaws, while the honeybee has
the more direct method of settling in-
truders with her sting.
The jaws of the bee are very credit
able organs and can give quite a for
midable nip. Catch q bee in net and
see how viciously 1t will bite at the
meshes, working It's jaws sideways In
stead OF up and down.
We call this wonderful implement OF
the bee q tongue, but in reality 1t Is
more than this, for the whole arrange
ment consists Of two slender filaments
called maxillR, the under lip and the
actual tongue. If q drop Of honey lies
near the surface Of flower, the slen-
der, active tongue. darting out from
the case formed by the maXill8, liCks
1t up with the same ease that n dog
licks a plate. Should the tube of the
flower be elongated the bee has at
command another length of tongue,
which Is shot out from within and
shuts up like telescope when no
longer wanted.
To appreciate fully this delicate
organ you should watch the bee sepa-
rate It into its component parts and
clean it out The lengthening process
Of the proboscis, as the tongue and its
allied parts are sometimes called, Is
accomplished by series Of springs and
hinges. In addition to this telescoping
power, the tongue Is a hairy member,
the hairs arranged in rings, the longest
ones toward the center. They assist in
lifting in the nectar and in pumping 1t
into the mouth. Thence it goes to the
honey ack.-ChautauQuan.
