THE TIBETAN BELLE.

The young lady "in society" in Tibet
studies the fashions as keenly as her
London counterpart, says The Taller,
but with less TO worry her, as they
seldom change. Trains do not trouble
her, nor the manipulation of them in
crowded assemblies; but below her utll-
itarian short skirt she takes out the de-
fciency in superhuous yards Of trous-
ers. Her heart however, is in her
headgear, which is fearfuly and Won
derfully embroidered with jewels and
silver ornaments, but this is modestly
fiat, not built-up creation like the
Western hat-a mere strip of material
coming down to n point between the
eyebrows in front and reaching to her
waist behind, The Tibetan belle is
very particular about her hair, too,
which she wears in little pleats, beaut!-
fully braided.

PREVENTING BLnAT.

Great care should be observed in
turning cattle on clover in the spring.
While there is always more or less
danger from bloat in pasturing cattle,
particularly young stock, on clover,
the danger is greater in the case OF
mich cows that have been fed in the
barn on dry grain all winter,
They should be allowed to run on
pasture only short time each day
at first, and never early in the morning,
when the dew is on and when the
animal is hungry. 1t is always safer to
turn cattle onto clover Immediately
after a good feed of grain II clover
is to be pastured the cattle should have
access to other fields Of grass, such as
timothy, bluegrass and succotash.
When cows are attacked by bloat
they should have immediate attention
or the malady may prove fatal. They
can often be relieved by the use Of the
trocar, the use Of which every farmer
should be familiar with IL he pastures
cattle Oh clover any season Of the
year-Farmors' Guide.

THE COMBS AND THE BREEDS.

THE COMBS AND THE BREEDS.
The comb is one Of the main points
to observe in a breed. One Of the
surest indications that breed is not
pure is when the comb peculiar to it
is not what is required. Brahmas have
pea combs that is, large comb with
smaller one on each side, making
three combs the whole resembling an
open pea pod containing peas. The
Leghorns, Minorcas. Plymouth Rocks,
Langshans, Javas and COchins have
straight, single combs, with points.
The Hamburgs, Wyandottes and 9th.
crs have rose combs, which somewhat
resemble a rose. 10 attempt to de-
scribe the combs in detail would de-
mand full description of each breed,
but it is important, when procuring
breed, to be sure that the comb is cor
rect, for If not so, there is a probability
Of a cross or some impunty. As with
cattle, sheep and swine, all the breeds
Of poultry are bred to standard. to
which they must strictly adhere or they
will be at disadvantage in the show

After racking his brains. which (not
being everburdened in that respect)
did not ta-,e very long. John thinks he
can manage it. He has mate in dis
tant settlement who, be says will stand
by him. The lawyer tells him that for
maii.y is one of the essentials to success;
anu naying impaired to him instructions
as to how he Is to proceed. so as to appear
most impressive at the hearing of the
case, John takes his departure with a
much lighter heart.
The eventful day arrives. The evil
dence for the prosecution, which seems
absolutely conclusive, has terminated,
and all eyes are fixed on John. Slowly
and solemnly he rises, striving to COM
bine an air of injured innocence with
that Of dignified unconcern, and In an
impressive voice says:
"Call Ted Lane!"
A rough, uncouth figure, who was
dreamily looking at the bald head OF the
dispenser of justice, rose from a seat
next to John himself, and took the oath.

TOTAL OF TAXES PAID
A TOTAL OF ABOUT $4,000 HAS
BEEN PAID IN.
The 0. B. & N. Company Has Not
Paid Taxes on New Assess
ment Made for 1908.

Pendleton, March 16. The day Of
grace is passed aud there will be no
more rebate on 1908 taxes. Yesterday
was the last day. Although the day be-
fore there was a continual rush and jam
in the sherif's Office caused by the
people who we're anxious to pay their
taxes yesterday it was comparatively
quiet, and total Of but about $50 in
taxes was paid, There remains one
chance for the O. r.. & N. railroad COM
pany to take advantage Of this rebate,
and that is for the letter containing the
tax money to be delivered at the sherif's
Office this morning on the first delivery.
Unless it is then the day Of grace for the
railroad company is past and the $l4O0
rebate to which it is entitled will not be
allowed. This money will go to the
county unless the company should re-
fuse to pay the tax altogether.
The taxpayers who have taken advan.
tage OF this rebate have saved total
amount OF almost $1,000, as last night
the estimate Of the amount of money
paid in in taxes was $4,000. This is
about the same amount as paid in last
year during the rebate period, and
would indicate that not so many people
had taken advantage OF the rebate Of
fered as last year, for the reason that the
taxes are higher this year and it would
require fewer taxpayers to make the
total Of $65,O00. The general impression
is that taxes are considerable higher
through the wheat raising country than
they we're last year, while farmers who
live south Of town say their taxes are
lower.
