one HUNDRED THOUSAND
Head of Texas Cattle to be Shipped
! to South Africa-Contract Al
ready Made.

Pensacola, Fla, January 25.-
The bingham Trading and Tim
Der company of London, which
recently inaugurated a line Of
steamers between Pensacola and
South African ports. has received
a contract for handling 100, 900
head of Texas cattle through this
port for South Africa, and the
next vessel of the line, which is
due here in u few weeks, will carry
large cargo of live stock. The
first steamer of the line which
went out few months ago, car
ried out several hundred head of
this lot, which was an experiment
on the part Of the shippers, it
being feared that the cattle would
not thrive in the changed climate.
A cable has now been received
stating that the entire lot was
thriving, and to commence the
shipment again. Every vessel OF
the line going out will now carry
live stock until the 100000 head
are shipped. Post

A Rocking Shrine,

The most wonderful temple in the
world is built ou a rocking stone ON
the summit Of Mounta1n in northern
India which Is over 10000 feet high.
The rock weighs many thousands of
tons, but Is balanced on SO fine a point
that comparatively light pressure is
sufficient to make It sway. Htndoo
priests teach their followers that this
rock was placed in position b. the help
of the gods, and thus they add consid-
erably to the feeling of awe which they
desire to create
Worshipers at this shrine must first
mike a perilous ascent Of the noun
tain. Then they spend seven days of
preparation III a temple built on the
solid mountain before they are permit
ted to make the final passage to the
mysterious rocking stone. To reach
this it is necessary to cross a bridge
over q great chaSm, for nature and
man have combined to make this Hin
doc shrine difficult Of access. After
crossing the bridge the pilgrim mounts
a ladder, to which he clings in terror
for his life here and in the hereafter.
The temple on the rock is necessarily
small. Three priests ofhciate there,
but its mysteries no man is permitted
to reveal Europeans have seen it only
from distance.

10. Howard of Extra was in tow n

look in his eye, and the looks of his
team, carriage and clothing explained
the whole thing clearly. On the
south road near the Curd farm in this
township, is hole, great wide,
deep mud hole that has been an eye
sore and a dread to all Transfers the
whole spring and summer, and no
efforts have been made so far to
remedy the evil. Mr.. Howard drove
his team into this pit and down they
went into the ooze and mire falling
on their sides and splashing the
slime over buggy, man and every
thing in OF on the vehicle. 1t took a
four horse team to get them out and
on solid ground. 1t is up to those
having the road work in charge to be
up and doing.

took the ak out the log sprung together
and held them all by the fingers. Then
1 walked away to the house and loaded
the shotgun and three or four pistols
and then went back and argued with
them, and they reformed right away"
This story, says the Nebraska State

good service ever since. 1t is not copy

reason why Nebraska pioneers should

The Human Body.

The blood, muscles, bones and other
parts Of the human body are composed
Of many chemical constituents, and a
correct chemical analysis would be
long and tedious. The specific gravity
of the blood is 1,O2S, and 779 parts of
every 1000 are water. OF the other
parts chloride of sodium, chloride po-
tassium, carbonate magnesia, calcium
phosphate, calcium lactate, potassium
phosphate, sodium carbonate and other
constituents are found This is gen
orally true, with variations also, of
tissues and bone. The fundamental
substance of bone is composed of or
ganic matter, combined with various
inorganic salts, In which calcium phos-
plate largely predominates. In addi-
ton the bones contain calcium carbon
ate, calcium fuoride, magnesium phos-
plate, sodium phosphate and sodium
chloride.

vantage Of the unprecedented clubbing
offer we this year make, which includes
with this paper The Iowa Homestead, its
Special Farmers Institute Editions and

LEGATIONS are the best of their class and
should be in every farm home. To them
we add, for local. county and general
news, our own paper, and make the price
OF the four one year only S1.45. Never be-
tore was so much superior reading matter
offered for so small an amount of money.
The three papers named, which we club
With our own, are we'll known throughout
the West, and commend themselves to
the readers favorable attention upon mere
mention. The Iowa Homestead is the
great AGRICULTURAL and live stock paper of
the West; The Poultry Farmer is the most
practical poultry paper for the farmer.

Perfect Respiration.

For perfect respiration two things
are necessary-chest capacity and
breath control. The average individual,
woman especially, uses but a limited
portion Of the lungs and upper chest
in ordinary breathing. Whenever a
little unusual physical effort makes de-
mand for an extra breathing capacity,
note how she puffs and pants, almost
to point of gasping The reason for
this Is that the muscles OF the lower
chest waist and abdomen have become
well nigh atrophied through neglect
and abuse. They are stiff and unre-
sponslye and have now to be coaxed
back to a condition of activity and
obedience.
1t is quite as possible to educate
these muscles so that they shall re-
spond to our slightest demand as it is
that our hands are trained to do our
bidding. Different teachers will advo-
cate different forms of breathing-up-
per chest, side chest, lower chest and
abnormal breathing-but what we
most want is absolute control, such
control of the muscles as shall enable
us to make use of any desired form of
breathing at the word of command, for
all forms have special values. Full up
per chest breathing is used most, but
lower chest and abdominal breathing
are very valuable in cases of nervous
ness, indigestion, stomach and bowel
troubles.

Button1ne n Coat

Buttoning a mans coat from right to
left was the original way, when our
ancestors, wrapped in skins, held the
right edge with the left hand and
naturally inserted a fastening thorn
with the right hand. This right to left
custom has been retained by the He
brew priests in their garb to this day.
When fighting men became necessary
and swords and knives had to be
drawn by the right hand from the
left side, the edge of the coat, buttoned
from right to left, was found to be In
the way, and men began buttoning
from the left. Nonfght1ng women
and priests continue to follow the old

stories to illustrate the old condition
of things.
In Edinburgh in 176O the Society of
Clerks enacted that all servants should
be forbidden to take tips and members
be forbidden to give them. This exam
pie was followed by other clubs and
societies. Today there Is the rule in
most clubs against feeling the servants,
An eccentric Irish gentleman, Lord
Taaffe, used to attend his guests to the
door, and If they offered any money to
the servants who were lined up with
the guests baggage, the host would
say, IF you give, give it me, for it was
