The Trial ny Ordeal That Finds a
Place In Perak.
In Perak lawyers find no business,
for a modified form Of trial by ordeal
decides all disputes. In place Of the
legal practitioner the pleader is a ma
tive boy who is assigned to one or the
other of the sides and Is given a bam-
boo tube in which Is sealed the plead
ing Of the person or party whom he
represents.
When all is ready two stakes are
driven into the bed Of a stream, and
by aid of a bamboo pole the heads Of
the two boys are submerged at the
same time.
By grasping the stakes they are en-
abled to remain under water for quite
awhile after their natural inclination
would bring them to the surface, but
at last one Of them gives In and, re-
leasing his hold Of the stake, m to
the air.
He Is Immediately seized, and the
tube he holds is cast aside. The other
lad Is led ashore, his tube opened, and
the document contained therein stands
as the decision In the case.-New York

An act of parliament, passed in the
reign of George III. and which Is still
In force, exempts members of the yeo-
many from the ballot for the militia,
allows them to ride through a toll bar
when in uniform without paying and
also relieves them from the tax OH
powder for the hair. Such privileges
were highly valued in 1904, when the
act was passed; but, as yeomen are
not now liable for the militia ballot.
as toll bars have been abolished and as
hair powder Is no longer in request,
these favors have ceased to have any
practical value. Nevertheless, they still
exist.-London Mail.

Mentz, rose to hat elevated position

the son of a poor carter, but was lever
ashamed of his parentage. He not only
caused the following inscription to be

'sWillegis, remember thy p~arentage,"
but had the wheels Of a cart hung up
In the Cathedral Of Mentz. From that
time to this the arms of the see have

MADE TO ORDER BEAUTY.
Artificial Noses, Mouth Former and
Dimple Denters.

AFtfhcfat Noses, Mouth FORMERS ana
Dimple Denters.
The best artificial noses nowadays
are made Of papier mache, enameied.
Such a nose is fastened to a spectacle
frame sometimes for the sake of con.
venience and thus may be put on or re-
moved at brief notice.
There is a patented continuance,
somewhat resembling a clothespin, for
attachment to the nose to give to the
organ a proper taper. Another device
is supposed to improve the lines of
the mouth.
Not a few people have no roofs to
their mouths, having been born with
put any~ or in other cases having lost
them by disease. For such unfortu-
mates artificial mouth roofs made of
galvanized rubber are furnished.
There is a patented device for clean
ing the tongue, consisting of a knife
with a concave edge to which a sort of
sponge brush is attached. When one
is mo- well ones tongue is liable to be
d~isagreeably coated, but the annoy
ance may be removed by means of the
instrument described.
If you desire dimples you may wear
a certain kind of wire mask at night
to which are attached blunt wooden
points that may be caused by the help
of screws to press upon the points
where the dimples are wanted. Thus
after awhile the dimples are made to
appear.

Portable Woven Wire Fencing.
Cheap Fence For Small Yards.
By ROBERT 8. SHAW. Michigan exper-
iment station.
In pursuing economic methods OF
swine husbandry pasture and forage
crops are essential throughout the
greatest possible portion Of the year.
Continuous pasturing and foraging by
hogs are largely dependent on a success
sion Of these two classes OF crops. This
fact would seem to require either a
number Of small lots OIL one large one
subdivided by portable fences or hur-
dies.
Portable fences constructed Of light
lumber have been commonly used in
the past, but this material is no longer
practicable under general conditions.
Division of lots can be made by means
Of a portable woven wire fence made
as follows: Set a row Of posts two rods
apart for the support Of the portable
fence. The figure shows a c~ontrivance
devised for the attachment of a porta
BILE woven wire fence at the ends. Two
posts cleated together at both top and
bottom about four inches apart are set
In line with the fence at each end.
If the woven wire is stapled to the
end posts firmly enough to hold Ii the
fence will be badly damaged in with
drawing the staples to remove It, so
