New Psalm OF Lie.

Tell me not In broken measure.
Modern farming does not nav.
For a farm produces chickens.
And the hens do they not law
Eggs are high and going higher,
And the price is soaring fast,
Everyume we go to market
II is higher than the last.
Not coop but IL produces
Every day an egg or two,
so each farmer gains his millions.
Even though his hens be few.
Every egg is very precious,
And the hens are held In awe.
When hen begins TO cackle
Then the farmer goes shaw, haw."
In the broad and busy farmyard
struts rooster now and then,
But the shrewd, bewhiskered farmer
Only notices the hen
Trust no rooster, however SNOWY
Be the feathers in his tail.
Pay attention To- the biddies,
And your wealth will never fail.
Lives of farmers all remind us
We may roll in wealth some day,
If we hustle to the market,
With the eggs our pnllets lay.

The Abuse Of Salt.

How easy 1t is to get too much of
good thing. Salt, one of-the most alb
solute necessities Of life when taken in
small quantities, may by incessant in
1udicious use become violent poison.
Before the German sailors We're ell
forced by law to eat sauerkraut once a
day to counteract the effect Of salt
foods the death rate among them was
enormous.
An anecdote is told of an Indian
medicine man who experimental with
salt upon his wife From the day Of
their wedding be allowed her to eat
nothing but salt meat and highly salted
vegetables, while he ate great deal
of pepper. Before the year was out his
wife pined and died. while he was still
enjoying the best of health. Little
dauntcd at what might be a colnci-
dcnce, he married again and continued
the salt experiment OH satlaw No z.
When she died, after a corresponding
length Of time he was convinced that
highly saltetl food was not healthfu

SOME ODD LEATHERS.
Prepared From the skins Of Various
Aquatic Animals.

Prepared FROM the skins of Various
Aquatic Animals.
Leather Is prepared from the hides OF
nearly all aquatic animals, principally
the seal, whale, pOrpoise, alligator and
wairus. The use of these hides is al
most az old as man himself, and they
have ever been most eagerly sought
after for the many uses to which they
could he put after being prepared as
leather. At the time of the Russian
occupation OF Alaska they made great
use Of walrus hides. Furs We're usual
" wrapped up in these skins, and when
they reached Kiachta, China, the great
mart Of those days, the skin was sewed
over chests Of tea. On arrival at Mos
cow tho soundest portions We're re-
moved, cut up and stamped into ko-
pecks and n variety of small change.
This formed the chief currency of Alas
ka for time. The Russians also made
harness Of walrus leather, while the
natives Of Alaska used the skin as
covering for their boats.
A quterer kind Of leather, however,
comes from the bodies of fishes. An
extremely fine quality of green leather
made In Turkey Is manufactured from
the skin of nm ugly fish called the angel
fish. The sword grips Of the German
| army are made from shark leather,
which Is beautiful In pattern, being
marked with dark diamond shaped tlg-
ures. This skin comes from a North
sea shark called the diamond shark.
Leather manufacturers have tried to
| produce substitute from animal
hides, but in vain. Unlike animal ieath-
l er, Ash leather Is absolutely impervious
to water and never gets soggy from
dampness. Therefore 1t Is ideal FOR
sword grips, an, no matter how much
the hand may perspire. the grip re-
mains hard and dry.
Leather is made from the skin OF the
Pacific coast and great lakes sturgeon
which Is exceedingly tough and Is used
in making laces for Joining leather
betting. In Canada the skin of Il spe
cies Of silnroid Is used in making

was in reality of a nature to be felt at

was dust on the ceiling, dust on the
floor, dust on the old books lining the
dusty bookshelves, dust on the an
tiques and dust everywhere.
Except that his customers were of

contain dust and bookworms, he would
