with their legs, but never use their
wings, swimming in an aimless fash

the head seems TO be kept above wa

NEARLY ALL ANIMALS SWIM
Most of Them Take Naturally to the
Water From the start.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

FROM Jn6 chicago OHTOnlCle.
Retrievers and water spaniels are en-
phatically the water dogs, although all
of the canine race can swim. A story
is told of Russian retriver that pre-
ferred salt to fresh water. This dog
used to swim out so far that he was
lost to sight and was more than once
given up for lost by his anxious mas
ter. He never failed, however, to re-
turn to the spot whence he started.
There is the same difference regard
ing liking for the water among wild
animals of the dog kind as there is
among the domestic animals. Wolves,
though they can swim toleIably well,
never care to enter the water except
to escape pursuit. They will not en-
ter it after their prey, as dogs do,
but will gallop round a lake or pond to
meet the escaping victim. If the quar-
ry cross a river the wolves at once
give up the chase.
Some heavy animals which can swim
after a fashion will drown as they
float if their fur is completely satu-
rated. This is the case with rabbits
and many of the mouse tribe. The
common mouse and the field mouse
can swim only few yards they drown
in the act of swimming.
Lions and Tigers Swim Well.
The same is also true of the rabbit
and most small cats, though lions and
tigers swim well and often cross large
rivers, as do the large cats of America
that is, the puma and the taguar.
The latter deserves the name of the
water cat for it habitually haunts
large rivers and lakes and. contrary
10 the habits OF all other cats, seems
TO love the water. None of the Ameri-
can small cats ever voluntarily enters
the water. but they fish from the
banks of streams and from partly sub
merged roots etc, clawing the fish out
as they swim past.
Though the rabbit cannot swim and
avoids damp situations, the hare, as is
generally known. swims well, and so,
indeed, do the great majority of mann

Centuries ago the Japanese ceased
TO exert any pressure whatever on the
Anus. Their speech and customs,
their religion and pursuits have been
left untouched. The japanese have
not even tried to crowd them out BY
throwing immigrants into their terri
tory. Yet the Anus are dying out
steadily; their race Is doomed.
They have no alphabet and. conse-
quently, no literature. They have not
progressed beyond the life Of the wild
hunter. Few Of them have succeeded
in learning agriculture. Their relig-
ion Is low. Now and then they kill
a bear and entrust all their wishes to
him TO carry to the world beyond.
Science is particularly interested in
the Anus because 1t is believed by
many authorities that they are the
descendants of the race which lived
on the lost continent that once lay
between Asia and America

THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE

A Russian Report on the Mysterious
Hairy Anus.

Hairy Anus.
Just before the Russo-Japanese
War the st. Petersburg Academy of
Sciences sent the Polish explorer,
wazlaw Sieroszewsk, to the Japa-
nese Islands TO study the dying tribes
of the famous Anus. Despite the war,
the material gathered by the explorer
has reached Russia In safety.
He reports that there is no doubt
that the Anus are dying out. He also
reports that It is equally certain that
they are the original Japanese. and
that the present japanese came in as
conquerors from foreign lands just as
the Europeans conquered America
about sixteen hundred years later.
The traveller has found historical
documents that prove how valiantly
the Anus fought against conquest and
defeat. But they had to yield steadily.
and at last they had all retired 10 the

Feeding Sheep.

Sheep are fed for a double purpose
wool and mutton. Don't make the mis-
take of feeding for mutton and starry
ing for wool, because when feeding for
the one you are also feeding for the
other, and if you imagine that feed
ing may be curtailed or neglected when
only wool is wanted, you make a Sc
rious mistake, says Farmers Call.
Good wool requires uniform feeding,
for a short period of deprivation causes
a weak streak all through the fleece,
and buyers are always on the lookout
for defects that will reduce the prices.
Sheep for wool need not be fed like
those fed for fat, but should be kept in
a good, thrifty condition throughout
the year. When the object Of feeding
is both wool and mutton, feed for the
mutton, and you get the fleece. You
may take a thin lamb and fatten him
for mutton in a short time, but his
fleece will be inferior, whereas, if the
lamb has been kept in good condition
continuously, feeding for fat will mere
ly improve the fleece.
The Tupelo journal., 1904-06-24

think so, but try it once. You will be
surprised at the s%uddenness of your sit
tings.
You can stand on either leg and wres-
tie with the other. Some prefer the right
leg to stand on, thinking it firmer, but
a w~ell-developed boy should find no
difference.
Direct pulling seldom wins the bat
tie. 1t takes better generalship than
that. A pull would merely make the
other boy hop forward a little and give
YOU a chance to fall forward. You might
try a quick swing to the right. Your
opponent will then swing to his right to
balance; then jerk your foot suddenly
toward you and you will have a chance
to crow over the other fellow as he hits
the ground and wonders what happened
to him.
Another trick is-if your adversary
should swing his leg far to the right,
forcing you to your left, you should hop
quickly to the left. Then hop forward,
pushing your ankle against his, and I'M
less he has been as quick as you he
will tumble over to the left, and, ker-
fiop-there he is on the ground again!
Nonresistance is a good policy, too.
Get your opponent tired out without
fighting him, and then a little shove or
jerk will do the business.-Chicago Jour-
nal.

REMARKABLE RAT POUND.
Located in Paris Where Rodents Are
Utilized for Removing Flesh
from Dead Animals.

Among the sights not the least inter-
esting in the city of Paris is a regular rat
mound, where the services of the rodents
are utilized for removing the flesh from
the carcasses of dead animals. A horse
thrown in over night is quite stripped by
morning, and it is the regular work OF
men in charge to remove the beautifully
nolished bones. Naturally the rats thus
nampered increase at an amazing rate.
and invade the neighboring slaughtering
houses. So it becomes necessary at reg
Mar intervals to have a battue.
All around the heavy stone walls OF
the pound are bored thousands of holes
half the length of a rats body. Early in
the morning while the rats are still at
work on the skeletons enjoying their
meal men with lanterns jump suddenly
in. making a great noise and clatter.
The frightened rats rush to the nearest
refuge. and the walls are soon n
mented with a forest of whisking tails.
The rat collector then seizes each rat by
the tail and deposits it in a bag which he
carries over his shoulder. The skins are
largely used for making gloves.

FEEDING HOGS FOR PROFIT.
Youngsters Must BE Started
Growing and Kept GROWING
BY JudiciOus Feeding.

In raising hogs for profit N must
in the first place feed The sows before
narrowing time with a view to the rails
ing of good, thrifty, strong, healthy lit
tiers. That done, he has scored a very
important point, for if w start with n
lot of little puny weaklings, we are
handicapped at the beginning. AS soor
as the pigs manifest Il disposition to
eat, give them a convenient place, out
of reach of the sows, furnished with
shallow troughs, in which place feed
consisting of bran, shorts and soaked
corn but not soured. Place a proper
amount of salt in each ration. Also
place some ashes in a convenient place,
with some salt. sprinkled thereon, for
them to root in.
Now we have the youngsters started
and must keep increasing the feed as
they grow older and larger. Supple
ment all this with a good clover field,
and if you have no clover, sow oats or
rape and pasture it before it gets too
large. Have two or three lots and

all the time. Do not let them get
stunted from birth till day of sale.
Plant quite early some sweet corn.
Plant two or three different times and
by the time the pigs get old enough to
eat it, it will do to cut and throw to
them. Feed it while in the roasting ear
stage. By the time the sweet corn is
fed out, the field orn will do to feed.
In this way one can keep the pigs
thrifty and in good growing condition
from narrowing time till day of sale.
The latter should be from seven to
eight months, and weight should be
from 200 to 230 pounds. The most
clear profit can be obtained at that
age, besides there is a lively demand
for that class of pork.-Farmers' Guide.

Dog Proves His Gentleness.

From Prague is reported an anus
ing trial in which a dog played the
leading part. The owner of the dog
was sued by an engineer, who claimed
damages for a bite from the animal.
He also denounced the dog as vicious.
At the trial a veterinary surgeon who
was called in tried the utmost to irri-
tate the dog by teasing him, but the
animal kept his temper. The COM
plainant then demanded that in order
to test the dogs real disposition his
owner should be turned out of court
and the dog let loose among the au-
dience. This was done after the dog
had been muzzled. The dog, however,
continued to display the greatest good
humor, holding up one paw after an
other, and wagging his tail. Finally
he ran to the judge, before whom he
sat Cd his hind legs begging in a most
pathetic manner. The judge thereupon
pronounced the dog to be a veritable
lamb, and gave judgment for his

THE LEGEND OF THE CROW.
His Once White Feathers Were
Turned Black Because He
Had a Black Heart.

Way back in the beginning, dearie.
when the earth was fresh, and beasts
and birds had the best of it, the crow
vas very different from what he now is.
In the first place, his feathers were as
white as His voice. too, was one
of the most beautiful in the bird king
dom.
But something happened. From
somewhere, no one knew exactly how
or when, strange stories were whispered
about Crow which set all the birds nod
ding their heads and chirping to each
other in mysterious tones.
Queer things were happening. Crow,
who had always been one of the best
beloved birds in the forest, stole away
from his companions to be by himself.
Oftentimes, when Lark or Robin sur
prised him as he perched upon the limb
of a tree, or walked stealthily through
the grass, he appeared frightened, and
flew away to the thickest part of the
thick forest.
The birds could not understand Crow.
Honest and truthful themselves, they
