Herr Schuch, a German author, has
compiled dictionary of 2500 insult
ing expressions, carefully tabulated,
indeXed and classified.
The work, on which Herr Schuch has
spent years of labor, says the Chicago
Chronicle, is called the Schimpfworter
Lexikon, and is divided into five gen.
eral heads-insults for men, insults for
women, insults for either sex, insults
for children and collective insults for
syndicates, groups and corporations.
Herr Schuch, with that minute dis.
cernment of the searching German, has
subdivided these classes into smaller
ones, so that when one wishes to call
his friend or enemy a name it needs
but short consultation with the book
to find the exact epithet or phrase
which will fit the case.
This work would have been invalu-
able to Mississippi River pilots in the
old days, and even now the teamster
may regard 1t as a welcome addition
to his library.

Seed Growing.

A line of farming which offers good
opportunities in many places is the
growing of crops for seed. OF course
this will require more care and expense

little money and some skill and knowl-

splendid returns.-E. e. Miller in The

There is loss in poultry products in
the neglect to provide nests and accom-
modations for the fowls. The hens
should not be compelled to lay in horse
troughs or where difficulty in finding
the eggs may ocur, as time devoted in
that direction is wasted. Ducks should
be confined at night and kept up until
past sunrise, as they usually lay early
in the morning. They are not now
producing many eggs, having laid
their quota earlier, but they should be
given shelter at night, in order to pro-
tect them from enemies.

Disease Among Its Children.
A new ordinance has been adopted
In Salt Lake City with the idea Of
preventing the disseminating of scar
let fever and diphtheria germs among
school children.
Both diseases have recently been cpl
demic among the children in the city,
and the Board OF Health decided that
the germs Travelled in the school books
and other things carried by the pupils.
The result has been the passage of an
ordinance which is probably more
stringent than any other of the kind
ever adopted by any municipality.
1t provides that none of the school
books shall be covered with any mate
rial other than paper. In all schools
in which there is free distribution of
books such books, after having once
been used, must be recovered and thor
oughly disinfected by the Board of
Health.
A student once having received a
book shall keep it as long as that book
is necessary for his studies.
1t is unlawful for the schools to col.
lect pencils, sponges or other articles
used by the students for the purpose Of
redstributing them to other students.
A violation of any provision of the or
dinance is punishable by fine of $25.

How Muskrats Are Secured.

Muskrats are frequently secured by
forcing long-pronged spear or gig
through the tops of their houses and
transfXing the animals within. The
house must be approached cautiously,
for it is vacated on the slightest alarm,
After each successful thrust hole is
cut through the wall of the house with
hatchet and the game removed, when
the hole is filled up. AS the animals
are scurrying through the house after
the thrust of the spear some may be
taking by spearing them through the
ice If the thickness of the latter does
not exceed two inches. The remaining
members Of the family soon return
and set about repairing the breach in
the wall of the house. If, when the
wall is preached, a trap is properly
set inside the house, near the edge of
the nest and a few inches under the
water, the first muskrat returning is
usually taken. When trap is so set,
a stick about three feet long is placed
through the ring of the chain and laid
across the breach in the wall.
On sunny days in winter or early
spring muskrats are shot while sitting
on the ice or while swimming about
or basking on logs. They are also
secured in the same manner on moon.
light nights. Large numbers are taken
in this manner by sportsmen, but it is
not desirable method of obtaining
them for the fur market on account of
the damage done by the shot.

COMPLETE TREATMENT FOR EVERY HUMOUR
Washing in the Orient.

The Japanese rip their garments
apart for every washing and they iron
their clothes by spreading them on a
fiat board and leaning this up against
the house to dry. The sun takes the
wrinkles out of the clothes and some
of them have quite a luster. The
Japanese woman does her washing
out of doors. Her wash tub is not
more than six inches high. The hard
est-worked washerwomen in the world
are the Coreans. They have to wash
about a dozen dresses for their hus-
bands and they have plenty to do.
The washing is usually done in cold
water and often in running streams.
The clothes are pounded with paddles
until they shine like a shirt front
