The Lions Roar.

Major Austin, writing of his travels
in central Africa, says: 1.-THE grandest,
the most awe inspiring, the most tre-
mendous voice on earth issues from the
throat of that king Of beasts, the lion,
1t is difficult to describe that mighty
roar bursting out into the silence of the
night and seeming to shake the very
ground beneath one. It makes one feel
petty, insignificant, of no account,
when his majesty voices his satisfac-
ton at having dined we'll on some poor
unsuspecting antelope which has al
lowed itself to fall under the clutches
of that ponderous paw. The men hud-
die together; deadly Stiffness follows;
there is a catch in ones breath, and it
is with a sense of relief a whisper per-
haps Of 'Simba shiba' (the lion is sati-
atedD arises and conversation gradual
~ resumes it's flow"

Feline Ethics.

A correspondent sends the following
story to Animal Life:
II called the Kitten" writes the cor
respondent, ''who sprang from her
basket where she had been lying with
her mother and followed me into the
next room. The cat followed, growing
warningly, and, taking it up by the
neck, replaced it in the basket. Again
l called it, and again it came at my
call. This time the mother, growing
still more threateningly, followed US
again, but this time she seized the kit
ten by the tail instead of the neck, evil
IDENTITY as a punishment, and pulled it
roughly along, the kitten mewing help
lessly. For a third time | called, and
once more it came to me, but this time
the mother was silent. She came, took
up the kitten, dragged it off and then
began to bite it again and again in or
der to secure it's obedience. This meth
cd was successful, and the next time
called it was in vain"

Presidents Ate With Their Knives.


All our earlier presidents ate with
their knives. The stately George Wash
ington. the irascible John Adams, the
original Thomas Jefferson. the learned
James Madison and the popular James
Monr0e--eaeh shoveled in his food with
his knife. John Quincy Adams was
the first president who ate with his
fork. And his wife felt it necessary to
explain to the guests at the White
House that Mr.. Adams had learned to
eat with his fork While in France and
that he couldn't overcome the habit. =
Andrew jackson restored the ''repub-
hcan simplicity" of eating with his
knife. All of those we have named also
poured their tea or coffee into their
saucers to cool it. 1t is related of Gen
eral Taylor that when he was presi-
dent he could be seen in the streets Of
Washington early in the morning with
a market basket on his arm going from
one butcher to another and bargaining
for q steak or a rib roast. If he had
bargained less persistently, he might
have served out his term, for we have
heard it was owing to the inferior
quality of the cherries he ate, on the
Fourth of July, 1850, that sickness at
tackled him and he died on the 9th Of
July.-Utica Observer.

Among the Il. It extraor(. nary pieces
of symbolism own to have been used
by the early 4t~iatics was figure Of a
donkeys head used as a representative
of the Deity. There is no doubt what
ever that the same emblem was once
used among the Hittites, the Egyp-
tians and one or two other nations as
symbol of their red god. Sut. The
superstition of the yellow donkey of
India, the story of the swift ass of
eastern Asia and the ass of Dionysius
and many other marvellous ass stories
are all survivals of that curious form
of religious wroship, the adora ton Of
the ass head.

It has been clearly demonstrated that
a roony middle piece is the unfailing
index Of a large feeder and that the
weight of an animal measures the re-
that the s1eatcr the amount OF food
consumed over and above that needed
for body support the greater the pro
ductive capacity, says Professor L. l..
Hacker of the Minnesota experiment
station. 1t therefore follows that the
two essential and vital points in the
dairy COW are large middle and light
quarters. From an economic point OF
view it does not matter what the color
markings are. whether her back is
straight or s5yays, whether her tail IS
long or short, her horns straight or
crumpled, her hook points high or low,
her body cylindrical or fat. These are
mere fancies and are not essential
points. Having secured the deep
bodied, spare COW there is no objection
to the fancy points, provided they do
not interfere with the two mentioned.
There are, however, few desirable
points In the dairy COW. She should
have a good disposition, since this also
has to do with food of maintenance.
Other things being equal COW with
docile, contented disposition brings
better returns than will one restless Or
vicious. To this end the eye should
have a placid, mild expression. A nerv-
Gus, high spirited, notional COW, as
rule, has the requisites of a profitable
dairy COW, but she requires skillful
handling, and since this qualification
is lacking in the average farmer we
must adjust the COW TO her master,
since we cannot persuade the average
man to adjust himself to the COW. We
also desire an easy mixer, with long
but not cone shaped tcats, and they
should not be punched too closely to-
gether. The size or shape Of the udder
counts for but little from an economic
point of view. since q large udder is
not an index of a large producer OF
milk solids; neither is a small udder
an index of light yielder. Cows with
large udders as a rule are deep milk
ers, but they in turn may not be per-
sistent. A small udder generally de-
notes a light mixer, but, on the other
hand, the milk is generally very rich
and the cow may or may not be per-
sistent milker.

Among the legends of Greece it is
told that the father of Pythagoras, the
famous Greek philosopher, was cele-
brated engraver of gems, and, accord
ing to classical history, both Helen of
Troy and Ulysses of Greece wore en-
graved rings. Engravings on stones
that were partly precious was an art
at a very remote age. The British mu-
scum proudly boasts the possession OF
a small square of yellow jasper bear
ing the figure of horse and the name
and titles of Amenophis II, believed to
date back to about the year 1850 B. c..

gem now in existence is a head of Ne

STRENGTH OF EggsheIIs.

Most people are aware OF the power
of eggshelIs to resist external pressure
ON the ends, but not many would cred
it the results of tests recently made,
which appear to be genuine. Eight or
binary hens eggs that were submitted
to pressure varied between 400 pounds
and 675 pounds per square inch. With
the stresses applied internally to
twelve eggs these gave way at pres
sures varying between thirty two
pounds and sixty-five pounds per
square inch. The pressure required to
crush the eggs varied between forty
pounds and seventy-fve pounds. The
average thickness of the shells was
thirteen one-thousandths inch.

Forgetting the Cow.
Perhaps it is not altogether TO be re-
GREETED that when prosperity comes
and nature smiles man is apt to forget
the times of adversely, says Wallace's
Farmer. At the same time lit is I'M
grateful, to say the least, to forget
the instrumentality that pulled him
through, and it is foolish to suppose
that adversely is banished for good and
prosperity will continue forever. It is
not many years since the dairy cow
stood between the western farmer and
very hard times indeed. Money was
scarce. Prices Of grain, of beef cattle
and other stock were low. Prospects
did not seem very bright to the farm
er. In this emergency the dairy cow
stood between many a farmer and
hardship. She brought in cash every
week or every month. She bought
shoes for the children, dresses for the
women folk and-well, in some cases
perhaps tobacco for the men. She ena-
bled some farmers to float over the pc
Rod of depression comfortably and
many to swim where without her they
would have sunk.
The hard times have gone. The pig,
the horse, the steer, grain, are all
bringing good prices. Money is plenti-
full and cheap. Bank accounts are car
rying comfortable surplus. Under
these conditions many q farmer is for
getting the good old cow that pulled
him through. He is allowing the calf
to run with her. He is forgetting and
his children are not learning how to
milk The usefulness of the COW for
the dairy is being destroyed. When the
turn of the tide comes ana the farmer
must turn to the COW again, she will
not be able to serve him as she did be-
fore, not through any fault of hers, but
because of his neglect.
Men cannot farm high priced land on
horseback. Neither can they always
afford to sit on the fence and watch
the calf do the milking.

Questions Answered

Yes, August Flower still has the. larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothefs
never thought of using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors
we're scarce, and they seldom heard of
Appendicitis, Nervous Prostitution or
Heart Failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested, food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action OF the system
and that is all that they took when feel
ing dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid form
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can
get this reliable remedy at all druggists.
