Farmer Billings, of Brookdale. Pa.
has taken q contract to furnish q New

crows heads at - cents apiece. It
costs something to get q dead crow.
Alive it is an elusive bird and amma-

as fast as laid. the eggs of about 100
hen crows that have been trapped and
confined with perhaps q dozen cock
crows. Within Is days the little crea-
lures are hatched and a fortnight later
they are ready to be beheaded. It is
understood that the head of q crow

have to be taken into consideration in
producing the beverage.

MuRMuRs FROM GROUND.
Strange Sounds Heard for Mans Con-
turies on the Red Sea
BordNrR

A singular phenomenon occurs on the
borders Of the Red sea to place called
Nakous, where intermittent underground
sounds have been heard for an unknown
number of centuries. 1t 10 situated about
half q mile distant from the shore,
whence long reach of sand ascends rap
idly to helsht Of 80 feet. This reach is
about $40 feet wide and resembles an am.
phitneater. being walled BY low rocks.
The sounds coming up from the ground
at this place recur at intervals Of about
an hour. They at first resemble low
murmur, but ere long there is heard q
loud knocking, somewhat like the strokes
Of bell and winch at the end Of about
i've minutes becomes so strong a. to asi-
tate the sand. The explanation Of this
curiou. phenomenon given BY the Arabs
10 that there il . convent under the
ground here and that these monks ring
for prayers. So they call it Nakous,
which means bell.
The Arabs affirm that the noise %
frightens their camels when they hear It
~ to render them furious. Philosopher
attribute the sound to suppressed volcanic
action-probably to the bubbling Of gas
or vapor underground.

JAPANESE WAR TowEL,Nc.
Bears Artistic Sketches and Carica.
lures or Cartoons Of Bat
tie Scenes. E

Asmight have been expected, military
and naval subjects occupy large place
among the years designs for toweling.
The towel designs celebrating naval VIC
tories have been particularly successful;
they are mostly in white, on q blue
ground; or in black, on a white ground.
Besides towels decorated with artistic
sketches of this sort. says Lafcadio
Hearn, in Atlantic, there have been
placed upon the market many kinds Of
towels bearing comic war pictures,-
caricatures or cartoons which are anus
ing without being malignant. 1t will be
remembered that at the time of the first
attack made upon the Port Arthu.
squadron, several Of the Russian off,
GERS were in the Dalny theater,-never
dreaming that the japanese would dare
to strike the first blow. This incident
has been made the subject Of towel
design. At one end Of the towel is a
comic study of the faces of the Rus
slams. delightedly watching the gyra-
tions Of a ballet dancer. At the other
end Of the towel Is study of the faces
of the same commanders when they
find, on returning to the port. only the
masts of their battleships above water.
Another towel shows procession of
fish in front Of surgeons odice.-wait-
ing their turns to be relieved of surdry
bayonets. swords. revolvers. and repeat
ing rifles, which have stuck in their
throats. A third towel picture repre-
sents. Russian diver examining, with a
prodigious magnifying glass. the holes
made by torpedoes in the hull of a sunk

cursive text, are printed beside these

QUIT BURNING STRAW.
A More Economical Wey Of Disposing
OF This Waste on the
Farm.

The old waSteful habit Of burning
all the straw on the farm 10 still fol-
lowed on those farms that do not have
a good deal of stock. Even where It
is possible to utilize the e+raw by haul
lng it to the barnyard it is still burned.
because the owner does not figure out
that the fertility in the straw is worth
hauling the straw to the barnyard for.
He says that any way the ash is left and
there is some fertility in that. Taking
all in all he is under the impression
that he is getting about as much out
Of his straw by burning it as in any
other way, unless he can sell it or feed
it to stock.
But all investigations go to show
that humus plays much larger part
in the matter Of soil value than We
thought. Every pound of straw should
be brought back onto the land in some
form. A number of cattle will trample
up good deal Of 1t II 1t is threwn into
the barnyard from time to time. This
would be especially the case with some
barnyards we have seen and 1t would
at the same time greatly improve the
condition of the barnyards.
Get the straw and the manure mixed
together in the shortest possible time.
When the straw is mixed with the ma
nure 1t is surprising how quickly 1t
will go to pieces, says the Farmers Re
view. One farmer has q barnyard that
does not cover more than half an acre
yet into that every year he puts the
cornstalks from 10 acres of land. The
stalks become quickly pelverized under
the feet of the farm animals and in the
course of months one fats to recognize
in the manure any cornstalks.
OF course this means work, but Il
means also the keeping up Of the pro.
ducing capacity of the land. I: also
means the keeping up Of the ability
of the land to resist drouth. Get the
straw into the manure and then gel
the manure into the field as quickly as
possible after 1t is 1T to 60 there.

not ventilated at all and the heterogen-
GUS mixture of everything to be pre-
served into which the cyclone refu-
gee dashes is not conducive to the best
keeping of fruit. .....
This is the best method for keeping ap-
pies in the fall, unless ice or artificial
cooling is used. Some modification of
the plan is adopted by all large apple
growers, usually in connection. with
their packing plants.
The dugout mentioned above, If prop
erly constructed and attended to when
in use, is cheap and successful method
of storing small quantities OF apples. 1t
Is made by digging into side hill so that
only the entrance end is out Of the

are laid across, upon which boards on
brush are put and dirt shoveled on, or
the cave may be arched with brick,

MANY TOWNS FOR MEN ONLY
Communities in the Old World and
the New. That Are Without the
Feminine Element

On the borders between China and
Russia in Asia, almost due south of Lake
Baikal. ts good sized town known as
Maimatehin. which IL exclusively in
habited by men. The place has q con-
siderable trade and is also a military
post. says the New York Herald. An
old law forbids women to live in this
territory. and they cannot pass the
great wall Of Kalkan nor enter Mongolia
;at all.
''The Prison Of the Ten thousand" is
the name given by the wandering Arabs
of the district across Jordan tc the
fortress monastery Of Mar Saba, ON the
Dead sea. Not many years ago there
were actually 10000 monks living in this
grim retreat, and even to-day there are
more than 1000 left The monastery IL
one Of the oldest in the world. having
been founded about 1900 years ago by
Eutheymius.
The Empress Eudoxia formed q TO
mantle attachment for this stern old
anchorite. and built near by a tower,
which still exists, from which she could
watch him at distance. True to his
vow. Eutheymius utterly refused to see
or hear the voice Of woman. Now the
tower is inhabited by watchman. who
keeps guard against the incursions Of
prowling Arabs. Twice during the last
year the place has been raided by hordes
from the desert. The monks who live
there to-day are the most rigorous Of
any in the Greek church. They pass
their lives in everlasting penance,
without hope Of pleasure or cheerful
incident. Many Of them go mad from
the horror. and desolation of their sur
roundings. No woman is permitted to
come within sight of Mar Saba.
When Montana City burned some
strange facts concerning it's inhabitants
came to light. The town. which held
at the time about s. 900 Inhabitants, was
occupied only by less than 100 China
men, who lived by working the tailings
Of once valuable mine. Small wonder
that the fire ragged for days till the town
was reduced to ashes. 1t is said that fol
years no woman had been seen in that
once prosperous town.
Another far western settlement which
Is composed exclusively Of men is Ex-
celsior City. situated in wild, rugged
stretch Of country on the Mexican edge
Of Southern California. This, too, was
once a mining town and has many fine
buildings. but the ore gave out and II
