PERILOUS MAIL ROUTE.
One in Pennsylvania That Is Infested
by Catamounts, PythOns
and Ghosts.

The strange happenings on the
Berwick free delivery route still con-
tinue, and the carriers are becoming
much worried, says a Wilkesbarre
(Pa.) correspondence of the Philadel-
phia North American.
Three of them who drive the wagon
from Berwick to various points in
the country round have had thrilling
experiences. and the last is the worst
of the lot. A couple of weeks ago a
large catamount sprang from a tree
at Carrier John Jacoby's horse and
seized its head. The horse shook the
animal off and dashed down the
mountain to Berwick, Jacoby having
all he could do to cling to the wagon
and trust to luck.
A short time later John Tressler's
horse stopped short and SHE'D into
the bush. Tressler saw an enormous
snake in the road. which he described
as being as thick as a mans leg. 1t
disappeared in the bush, and is sup
posed to be a python which escaped
from a circus at Berwick year ago.
Carrier o. f. Evans noticed that
while passing Martzville cemetery, in
Briar Creek township, his horse act
ed in peculiar manner and bolted.
This occurred twice before Evans saw
the cause of it, and then the other
night he beheld terrifying white OBJ
ject rise at the cemetery fence and
wave its arms He LOT the bOrsa holt
and now takes a circuitous route.
He says he does not believe in ghosts,
and thinks the apparition is some
joker with sheet, but he is not go
ing to take any chances.
The carriers are demoralized by
these occurrences, and each is now
armed with a double barreled gun.

If turkeys are well fattened and are
sent to market in dirty, shabby,
cramped-up coop they are apt to be
left until late in the day, and nine
times out of ten if the market is well
supplied they will not sell at all, just
because their appearance knocked
them out. Again, if turkeys are placed
in a close coop so that they are COM
PEELED to sit or stand in a cramped con-
dition, when dressed the breast and
thighs will be very black and not fit
for sale at any price. The people who
buy turkeys for holidays are people
who understand all these things and
will not buy them at any price, even il
they are well fattened, Turkeys should
not be fed for "a hours or at least IL
hours before shipping, as when not fed
they will not drift nearly as much and
will be in better condition for dress

CONSUMPTION OF SALT.
Twenty Pounds Per Head n Year Is
Necessary for the Preserva-
ton of Health.

Although salt figures in most
treatises on dietetics a. a continent,
it is universally recognized as an in
dispensable element of the food of
man and animals British medical au-
thorities have agreed that whenever
the annual consumption of salt falls
below 20 pounds per head of the popu-
lation the public health is likely TO suf-
fer.
In regions of the earth where salt is
a scarce article it is regarded as
substance of great value, and salt
starvation is, in its way, as distressing
as thirst or hunger, although it is
manifested in less obvious fashion.
This fact long since suggested to inn
pecunious governments an easy means
of raising money by imposing a duty
on this indispensable article OF food.
Even in Italy, at the present day, it is
a penal offense to eyaporate bucket
of sea water for the purpose of obtain
ing salt, but nowhere is this iniquitous
tax applied on so large scale as in
India.
The deprivation of salt does not pro-
duce definite disease, but reduces the
vitality Of the organism as a whole. so
that the victims of administrative
measures, which restrict the consump-
ton of salt, more easily succumb to
prevailing epidemics as well as epidem-
ic maiadies. How far this factor is at
the root of the proneness Of the Hin
docs to plaques and kindred diseases
is question which is engaging the at
teution OF Psychologists and patholog-
lists II present.

Corn fodder that is not cut down
until the leaves are yellow and then
left all winter in the field where the
shocks are blown over and the fod-
der exposed to rains and frosts. is
usually worth nothing, and instead
of so doing it win be better to haul
it to The barnyard and let the cattle
pick ii OYER before it loses value; but
if the fodder is cut when somewhat
green, and cared for, the farmer will
find that il is as valuable as the
grain. There is an annual enormous
loss OF fodder in this country which

swinging open and shut, but remains
where the poultryman leaves it. In
cold climate. where ice and snow
will bother, four nails should be
driven nearly out of sight on top of
the eleat, on which the door may rest
instead of fat down. This will pre-
vent freezing down.
Mr.. Moore also uses two doors, one

DANDRUFF WON'T WASH OUT.

Many a woman spends an hour twice

she has spent 260 days of u hours each, or
two-thirds of year OF her life, in that vain
hope; vain, because you can't cure dan
