many other things are much greater
than money. What is money any-
way? 1t is an exchange to satisfy
the desire and appetite of man and
that is all you can get out of it. A
pleasant home is better than mon
ey; a good name is better than
money; a good conscience is better
than money; friendship to one an
other is better than money; good
citizenship is better than money;
loyalty one to another is better
than money; a we'll spent life is
better than money; to reverence
and defend the name of your
mother is better than money.
Money, money, money, people are
struggling. cheating, robbing and
numbering one another while the
other good folks these fellows
who are wolves in sleeps clothing
are trying to rob you every day for
money. Through money you can
secure a living each day and that is
all you can possibly get out of it,
and the man that is making a good
living each day for his family has
all on this earth that any other
man can have. no matter how much
money you may have. CYCLONE.

The CaImuck Steppes.

Consumption spares the natives Of
the Calmuck steppes, on the border of
Asia and southern Russia. Lung dis
eases of all sorts are remarkable by
their absence, so much SO that Russian
physicians undertook to ferret out the
cause Of the immunity and gave to the
world the drink known as koumiss, or
fermented mares milk. That beverage
Of the steppes, they thought, must have
something to do with the sound lungs
Of the native. But the actual connec-
ton Of cause and effect has been ex-
planned as follows: The elevated table
lands east Of the VOlga are almost
treeless, fuel is scarce, and, as the win
ter climate is rather severe, nine-tenths
of the population make clothing supply
the deficit of stove heat. In their cool,
airy tent cabins lung microbes get no
living chance, but whenever Calmuck
cattle baron accumulateS a surplus Of
rubles he is apt to drive to one of the
neighboring cities and cough as much
as the rest of his civilized fellow men.

American workman, and a running
mate who is head and front OF one OF
she greatest mine owning syndicates
in this country, where union labor
is ,ietested and where the lowest

the miners of West Virginia been
denied the right of organization and

And this explains the attitude of

had been attuned to lofty ideals by
communion with the poets, historians,
philosophers and tragedians of Greece
wrote her name in the guest book at
Delphi, and beneath it she spoke in
terms of praise of the entertainment
of mine host of Delphi and added that
she accounted as an epoch in her life
the fact that she had been permitted to
look upon one of the holy places Of
the earth. The person who entered his
name below hers was a Mr.. S. of

man as his mouthpiece. Beneath his
name the American wrote, 1.-THE above

A resident of London writes as fol
lows about singing mice: eve had
never heard of their existence until
we arrived from the continent and
went into lodgings in an old house just
off Oxford circus. The first night we
were awakened by loud singing, as Of
q number of birds, and our first i'm
preston was that some one kept night
ingales in cages. The next morning
the landlady Informed us they were
singing mice we had heard. When we
clapped our hands we could hear the
mice running away in the walls, and
when all was still they began their
concert. It was not squeaking or chirp-
ing, but sustained singing, as Of cana

They Could Not Deceive Him,

An eminent naturalist who holds and
fills as we'll a chair in a university
announced to the members Of his class
one morning that he had something Of
unusual interest to show them.
II have here, gentlemen" he said,
"some hairs from the skin of a young
crested seal, and we will proceed to
study their peculiarities."
Unfolding the small piece Of paper
that contained them, he spread the
hairs out ON sheet Of white card
board and turned to get his microscope,
which was on a desk behind him.
While his back was turned a roguish
student quickly swept the hairs off
the desk into his hand and substituted
others very closely resembling them.
Young gentlemen" said the pro-
fessor severely a moment later, as he
glanced at the sheet Of cardboard,
"there has been some underground
work here. These are mole haips."
They never attempted to fool the
professor again.

Stuffing ami Mounting Animals and
Birds Is Complicated.


Birds Is Complicated.
The process Of stuf1ing and mount
ing birds and animals, called taxi
denny, is a more complicated one than
the average layman suppOses. Some
seem to have the impression that it is
simply necessary to remove the Gin
Sides Of the corpse and then fill up
the hole with some soft material that
will fill out the skin. The result from
such a performance would be interest
ing, but it would bear mighty little re-
semblance to the original animal.
The processes used in Stufiing and
mounting a bird and mammal differ
somewhat, and each taXidermist has
his individual method of working.
Some taxidermists prefer to work on
mammals, others prefer birds. And
there is even difference in birds, some
taXidermiSts having particular skill in
mounting the small birds, while others
prefer the large heavy specimens.
The first thing to do with a bird to
be mounted is, OF course, to remove
the skin, or, rather, one might say, to
remove the meat or flesh from inside
the skin, as it is the skin that is the
part to be saved. This has to be done
very thoroughly, as every particle of
flesh must be taken out before any
thing further is done The leaving of
any flesh in the finished specimen
would ruin the entire work. The re-
moval of the flesh from the body
proper is a comparatively simple mat
ter, the more difficult work being when
one comes to the legs, neck and wings.
Usually almost all of this is done from
the one cut in the skin at the under
side of the bird, turning the skin back
like a stocking over the legs and the
neck so as to reach the flesh of these
parts. The wings are always rather
bOtherSome, and it is necessary to
make another small cut under them
on the outside.
Once the flesh is all removed-in the
case of some birds where there is much
fat, such as ducks, it is necessary to
be careful and get off from the skin
every vestige of the grease-then the
skin is prepared by rubbing into it
mixture of dry alum and arsenic. The
alum is to help dry out the skim while
the arsenic poisons it and SO keeps it
free from all vermin which would
otherwise soon spoil the finished speci-
men. To one ignorant Of the science
there could be nothing much more
hopeless than the limp skin of bird
particularly a large bird. Yet it is
the whole thing, and the body must all
be supplied by the skill of the opera
tor For this purpose a form is made
resembling as closely as possible the
interior of the bird. AS all birds vary
much in size, even those of the same
variety, it will be seen that this is not
an absolutely simple matter. Meas
urements are taken before the bird is
skinned, but even with this help the
taxidermist must have almost another
sense that will enable him to make the
form of the proper shape and size,
with slight depressions in the surface
for the legs and wings.-Springfeld
Homestead.
