Their Use Can BE Traced Back to
the Ancient Egyptians.
According TO Demon. locks and keys
can be traced back to the ancient Egyp-
tians. more than 1000 years ago. This
is inferred from the sculptures on the
great temple Of karnak. which closely
resemble locks still in use there
clumsy, massive wooden locks, in which
three pins drop into three holes in the
bolt, when 1t is pushed in, and are
raised by corresponding fixed pins on
the big key. Similar locks and keys
are found 1T MoSul. near Nineveh, the
key being more than i foot long, quite
clublke and often carried Oh the shout

Keys are also mentioned Mt the siege
of Troy. 1893 b. c. The Phnnicians
are said to have exchanged locks for
tin from Cornwall. Occasional notices
of them occur in many Greek and Ro-
man writers. Pliny assembling their in

Results of MIR. GOOdnfghts Mating OF
Buffalo and Angus Cattle.
There is 8 man in Texas who has
spcnt the last twenty years in develop
ing a theory which now promises to rev.
Olutionize the entire cattle industry OF
this country. He is Charles Goodnight,
distinguished as philanthropist, phi
losopher and scientist, and he has at
last succeeded In raising peculiar
cross breed of cattle embracing the
flavor of beef with the extra weight
and fourteen ribs of the American buff
falo.
Cattlemen are greatly interested in
Mr. GoOdnights breed of cattle. The
animals are magnifcently built and
weigh fully 20 per cent more than the
average Texas steer. Those who have
tested the delicious tenderloin steaks
from one of the new crossbred cattle
declare that they are the best they
ever ate. 1t Is proposed to breed the
cattle extensively for the markets,
where, ii is believed, the meat will com
mand higher price than even thor
oughbred beef
seventeen years ago, one cold,
frosty morning" said Mr.. Goodnight,
II surprised number of buffalo cows
and two buffalo calves grazing in
canyon some thirty miles west of my
ranch. After short chase my CON-
panions and myself succeeded in rop-
ing the calves. and these, together with
another animal. present to Mrs. Good
night. were the nucleus for the present
herd of buffalo now grazing in my pas
lures. 1t has been long, tiresome
task, and many times l was almost
forced to despair of reaching the sue
cessful end of my experiment, but at
last success came to me, and l have
proved that a cross between the wild
buffalo and the Angus breed of cattle
has produced valuable new breed of
animals
II have succeeded in producing
breed of cattle which, retaining all the
hardhoOd of the buffalo, possesses all
the fine qualities of the domestic ami
NAL. The high bumps and heads have
disappeared, but the long, deep bodies
have remained. giving a weight of at
least 20 per cent more to the grown
animal and at the same time improv-
ing the flavor of the beef These cat
tie. like the buffalo, will grow fat OIL
grass which would starve the ordinary
Angus herd, and their ability to 90
long without water and face the severe
storms Of winter is one of the most i'm
portant features of the new breed.
"A most remarkable feature. how
ever, Is the fact that even down to the
eighth blood they retain the fourteen
ribs to side possessed by their pro-
genitor the native buffalo, thus Civ
ing more steak cutting meat and addi-
tional weight. Perhaps the strangest
characteristic Of all Is the fact that.
While the buffalo is excitable and
afraid of human beings, the crossed
breed Is much more gentle even than
the ordinary Angus animal and seems
to crave human attention rather than
fear IT,"

without helpful daily exercise these

lack of exercise. There is nothing else
which can take the place Of physical

older by cultivating moderate love or

advice. Walking, running. jumping,
rowing. playing golf. tennis or croquet
or any other mider form of exercise
in the open air keeps the muscles sup
pie and prevents the joints from stiff

oxygen and keeps the blood from be-

short, it is exercise that keeps the body
in tune and "up to concert pitch" just
as exercise keeps the voice of q music

why Little Folks Are Mig Eaters

1t has been laid down rs physOlog-
zeal rule that the requirements Of adult
diet depend not OF the weight of the
eater but on the extent Of his bodily
surface. In the case Of children this
rule Is further modified. An infant
may weigh one-eighteenth az much as
grown man, but its surface is more
than one-seventh as great. AS the first
requirement of he infants food Is TO
replace the heat Shat Is continually be-
Ing lost by radiation from all parts Of
the body, the latter fraction determines
the needed proportion Of nourishment
rather than the former But in the
case of a growing child food Is also
needed to supply the increase of bodily
weight In all, an infants ration may
be five times as much as would be esti-
mated from its actual weight alone

not so durable. The proper length and
curve of the handle depend upon the

user. With long handle IL man will
strike n much harder blow. but with
short handle he will strike oftener.
so there is practically 10 difference in

The curve, too, depends upon the
habit Of the user. A curved handle has
no advantage over the one that is per-
fectly straight. Most people prefer the
curved because they are accustomed
to its use. AS a rule. the straight han
