about them; but now they may be
found in every state and territory, and
at several points in Canada, and moth
ing but the best reports are heard of
them from all these sections. They are
doing we'll in the semi-arid southwest
in the mountains of California and
Montana, and on the sand-dunes of
Lake Superior. In New England they
give fair promise of being the forerun-
ners of a rehabilitation of the aban
doned farms there, where the extreme
cold of winter does not injure them.
The present expansion Of this industry
in the United States is based principal
" upon two features-the production
of mohair and the destruction of brush
wood by the goats. incidentally, they
produce very fine mutton, but not
many good mohair producers are
slaughtered for meat The fleece is
found to be superior to the South Afri-
can product, and only slightly inferior
to the Turkish hair. There are mills in
New England that consume all of the
domestic product, and, besides, they
import over million pounds. AL
though there will be rapid increase in
the amount Of hair produced In the
United States, there is no prospect OF q
surplus for many years to come.

FIGURED ON BRoUGHAM.


At dinner party DR. Woodrow Viii
son of Princeton was describing the
observation-disclosures of a certain math-
ematician.
This man. he said, "is so absent
minded that once he walked along for
a quarter OF mile in the gutter in
stead Of on the sidewalk. He would
have kept on in the gutter indefinitely
had not the polished back Of brough-
am. that was drawn up before a shop,
brought him to halt.
9"The mathematician stopped within
a foot of the brougham. He looked at
the black, smooth, lustrous surface
before him, and it suggested to bis
mind a blackboard Accordingly he
drew a piece of chalk from his pocket
and began to work out an abstruse
problem.
"on and on he worked, covering the
carriage with figures, until finally 1T
started off. Still working, the math-
ematfcian followed it; he held on to
the body with his left hand, and not
until the pace became too quick. fo-
him did he realize that something was
wrong. Then he sighed, looked about
him in a dazed way, pocketed his
chalk and started homeward. "-Wo-

GODS oUr-oF-DooRs.

For the earth is the Lords. and the full
ness thereof Corinthians, 1926.
There Is a temple--not OF stone
Nor with contracting walls and roof
wherein each man may stand alone,
AND be from grosser things aloof;
There with his soul he may commune,
Where waters whisper to the shores
And distant hills send back the Groom
The temple of Gods Out-of- Doors.
It may be on the desert sands
When night has hung her tapestries
And when across the silent lands
There comes wondrous cen ser-breeze
Scent laden from some far off isle
Where bud and fruit hold pungent stores
That thus are waited mile on mile
Into this House of Out-of-Doors
It may be in some wooded place
With sunshine sitting through the leaves
Until its flashing jewels trace
A wealth of rare mosaic weaves:
All green and gold the forest walls,
All gold and green the forest floors
This is the grandest of all halls,
The temple of Gods Out-of-Doors
Gods Out-of-Doors! The ceaseless march
OF sun and stars from night to dawn
Trace for our eyes the domes high arch,
Show US what 1t Is bujlded on.
Hymn, anthem and occasional
The shouting storm in grandeur pours;
Mute worshipers, we hear His call
In this great House of Out-of-Doors.

known in commerce as mohair, they
will think they know all the rest; but
1t is hardly possible that they are
aware of the fact that their brillian-
tine and zibeline dress goods their inn
itation astrachan coats Though not Oft
en- sold as imitations) and a score or
more of such-like goods are made of
mohair; they are not aware that their
best furniture is upholstered with mo-
hair, because this product has all the
luster of silk, all the durability of the
frame Of the chair itself, and all the
beauty Of design that can be woven in
to any fabric; that their children have
muffs and cape trimmings of the raw
mohair; and that hundreds of floors
have rugs made from the skins Of An
goras, generally dyed brilliant color:
but often in the natural white. When
men are informed that almost every
upholstered car is done in mohair plush
they are not really astonished until
they are still further informed that mo-
hair is nothing else than Angora goat
hair ALI this Is true, and much more
could be added. The worlds annual
production of mohair is truly immense.
The native habitat of this little friend
Of mankind is Asia Minor. At different
times efforts have been made to ac-
c1imatise them in various countries, but
generally without success, owing usu-
ally to an unsuitable climate. However,
a few head were brought to the United
States in 1849, where they have lived a
precarious existence for many years.
In the early fifties a considerable num-
Der were transported to Cape Colony,
where they have thriven to such an ex-
tent as at this time to make that coun-
try the leading mohair- producing terri
tory in the world
During the last four years there has
been distinct revival of this industry
in the United States, a condition which
has been brought about largely through
the efforts Of the government in it's
behalf Previous to this time most Of
the goats had been concentrated at
places in few of the western states,
and not many people knew anything

DRUM AND BANJO FIRST
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

Music's first step was the drum. AS
you wander through the displays
made of the primitive musical instru-
ments Of savage races. those that have
only one have the drum. Music be-
gan with thumps, on calabash like
ly enough, and, later on the skin of
a wild animal was drawn over the
mouth Of the .calabash. The bass
drum of the Sousa band is not so far
removed from the calabash drum that
its cousinship can't be recognized. In
the German east Africa exhibit are
the drums of the blacks who inhabit
the territory which Germany is now
conquering. They are all temptingly
labelled hands off," It requires
great fOrtitude not to thump an Afri-
can wardrum with the forefinger nail;
and Chinese gongs are quite irresisti-
BILE.
With drums the sense of rhythm in
the human mentality if first expires
sed. The, Indian adds his "kiyi,' and
most savages accompany the drum
with the voice. It must have been a
long time before the first reed pipe
was invented to increase the volume
OF the barbarian orchestra Many
semi civilized people seem to have
stopped there. They stopped at the
first tune. Stringed instruments came
next. The banjo in its varied forms
Is repeated through all the nations.
The Chinese show their three-stringed
snake skin guitar, and from Burmah
and India come instruments that are
twanged with the fingers. The naked
little Igorrote boys stretch taut cord
triangularly about on the top of three
pegs in the ground and keep time with
the dance of the older Igorrotes near
by. The musical instruments of saw
age tribes are of little interest to see
unless they are played on. Who would
not give much-iat least a quarter
to hear these first Orphean lutes and
Tyres vivified by savage lips or hands.

ROADWAYs OF CHICAGO.

The automobile has stolen another
march upon its equine rival In fact,
It is stealing the ground from under
the horses feet. Soon the boulevards
of Chicago will be as difficult for
horses to stand on as are the main ave-
nues of Paris, because of the grease
scattered over them by passing auto
mobiles.
Presently also the appearance of the
boulevards will be changed The dust
gray of the roadway will be rich
brown hue. No more the sprinkling
carts will sputter along their way.
And in the character of its equipages
the street will resemble an automobile
show.
This kind of oiled pavement is
quite a different proposition from the
oiled roads of California, SO lauded by
that last Year Book of the Department
Of Agriculture which Lillian Russell
thinks ought to be dramatized. In
California roads are especially prepar-
ed. treated and never used until ready.
When, however, oil is merely shaken
upon the surface of the road, as In
Chicago, the wheels of vehicles run
ming over it pick it up and throw it in
all directions, inJuring clothing and
anything delicate that it falls upon.
And before it has sunk into the road
1t is injurious to rubber tires
II 1t will lay the dust, however, will
shed water, and is preServative of the
roadway. So, except to those who
love the horse. it may not seem to be
AN unmitigated evil.

TO SAVE CALIFORNIA ELK.
Henry Miller. Rich Cattle Man, to
Have Preserve for Them.

The California elk is to be saved
from extinction. Henry Miller, the
cattle king, is to save the elk. He is
at work upon a magnificent country
home within easy reach Of San Fran
cisco. Lit is called Mount Madonna,
because 1t tops little mountain of
that name; but Elkwood might be a
more appropriate designation, for 1t is
about this SURPRISING country seat
that Henry Miller is arranging pre-
serve, immune from gun and dog and
the civilized things which harry forest
jewellers. where the California elk
may live on in peace to the perpetual
tion, and even increase, of his kind
The cattle king will be able to carry
out his praiseworthy scheme, because
already he owns about all the Cali
fornia elk which lift their antlers to-
day There may be $50 specimens of
these magnificent elk in California.
Henry Miller owns 125. His title to
them is Of the best. He never bought
them with money, but he went into
their wild haunts and saved them from
the destruction which was wiping
their species out of existence.
The elk which he now owns compose
what is probably the only herd of
American elk which 1t will be possi-
BILE to save. In the terribly rough
Jackson's Hole country of Wyoming.
in Arizona and in few places fur
Their east, the last of the elk are now
in hiding. Their final refuge be-
comes often their death trap. In wy
oming many elk die every winter be-
cause the deep SHOWS of their retreat
leave them foodless so long that they
starve. When they follow the grass
line down into the lowlands they fall
before the guns of hunters eager for
the last of the royal sport of elk stalk
ing Tardy game laws have. come too
late to permit the rejuvenating of
their kind in the Uuited States. The
elk must soon follow the moose whose
fate was that of the buffalo. Henry
Miller would have elk in California
when elk are to be found nowhere
else in the country.
Miller's elk are on one of his many
cattle ranches. the Buena Vista ranch
in the mountains of Kern county, thir-
ty-four miles east of Bakersfield.
When first cattle were driven there
the elk were plentiful. Herds of elk
grazed and browsed with herds of
steers. With the settlement of the
country the elk thinned before the
settlers guns When but a few were
left Henry Miller saw that complete
extermfna was close at ahand, and
he interfered. He chose the best
wooded portion of his land containing
hundreds of acres Of timber and
thicket, in places almost impenetrable
and built about the great area an
eight foot fence The fence was left
open at places and the natural in
stincts of the elk taught him in time
that it was only within this ideal re-
treat, always guarded from hunters
and intruders, that he. was safe. The
elk of the whole vicinity took UP their
home there and their number has in
creased within the last ten years.

ESCAPED WITH THE TROUSERS.

heavy the dog would be unable to turn 81
over, so would have to scratch under Is
to reach the piece of money. and it would
naturally take him some time. it did,
for he had not appeared when we res
tired, about ten o'clock.
Early the next morning we heard Of
sharp bark at the door. When the door
was opened in rushed the dog dragging.
with him a pair of trousers which ps
dropped on the floor.
OF course we were mystifled, but the
explanation soon came In the shape Of

il dog with a pair of trousers in hi4|
mouth had come into the house. Just
then the pointer walked out on the
porch, and the man exclaimed: 4hv 8
there's the dog now.
The caller said that late in the after
noon of the day before he found the dog
scratching under large rock near the.
road, and thinking he was after q rab-'
bit, stopped and lifted the rock up and
to his surprise found a haif-dollar un-

pocket, and the dog followed him hoxne.
Early in the morning, the man said
he got up and opened the window and
the instant he did so the dog seized liie
trousers and, jumping out of the win
dow, fed with them. The man followed
as soon as he could get his mule.
OF course my friend searched the
pockets of the trousers which the dog
mad brought, and there found the half
dollar.
